Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 8 The Pain of a Bad Student
Two people died in the Jiang family within one day!
This shocking news quickly spread throughout Liuzhutou Village.
Zhou Linhai finally gritted his teeth and reported another piece of bad news to the Jiang family:
Jiang Tian's father, Hu Qiongfang's man, died in an accident in the coal mine.
Now the Public Security Bureau called and asked the family to handle the deceased's funeral as soon as possible.
No one can handle this matter on behalf of others, only Jiang Leping's family can handle it.
Within one day, first her mother-in-law died, and then came the news of her husband's death. Hu Qiongfang's petite body could no longer bear it, and she fainted on the spot.
The aunts and sisters-in-law in the village were shocked and hurriedly carried Hu Qiongfang to the bed.
Two people have died in the Jiang family, and they dare not let any more people die.
Fortunately, there is a girl named Jiang Tian at home, a twelve-year-old girl who can be regarded as half an adult in the countryside.
It’s a pity that Jiang Tian didn’t want to hold a grand funeral for Wang Chunmei at all.
When Jiang Tian realized that everyone in the village was looking at her, her lips pursed and she burst into tears.
"Dad! I'm going to pick up my dad and take him home, woooooo~"
The onlookers felt sad, and some of them who were soft-hearted started crying.
This child is so miserable. His grandmother just died, his father also died, his mother fainted on the bed, and his younger brother is still in elementary school.
What can you expect a girl in her teens to do?
Forget it!
Village chief Zhou Linhai sighed heavily and began to assign tasks.
First, ask someone to call the high school where Jiang Lesheng attends and call back the only remaining adult male in the Jiang family to be the "chief mourner."
For the time being, all we can do for Wang Chunmei’s funeral is to ask each family in the village to help out.
Then go to the village primary school and call Jiang Cheng back. His father has passed away, and as Jiang Leping's eldest son, he also has to wear mourning clothes and break pots for his father.
As for the Public Security Bureau...he could only take Jiang Tian there first.
A living person is gone, and he is the pillar of the family. The coal mine will definitely have to pay compensation. This money is related to the future life of Jiang Tian and her brother, so they can't be careless.
Jiang Tian didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.
In her previous life, she and her brother were brought up by their mother, who was busy taking care of their father's funeral. It was their second uncle Jiang Lesheng who went to the coal mine to collect the death compensation.
After getting the money back, he naturally gave it directly to Wang Chunmei.
The three of them, mother and two of her children, didn't even get any compensation.
It was precisely because they had no money that when her mother was seriously ill, they had no money at all and asked Wang Chunmei for it. She made the excuse that the family was in financial difficulty and that she had spent a lot of money on her father's funeral.
No matter what, he just refused to give them money .
Hu Qiongfang also had no money to go to the provincial capital for medical treatment, and eventually died on a simple bed in the township clinic...
If she lives her life over again, Jiang Tian will never let anyone take this money away from her again!
This money is not only earned by her father at the cost of his life, but also her mother's life-saving money in the future.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian wiped her tears and told Zhou Linhai that she was going to get her household registration booklet.
There was no such thing as an ID card at that time, and the household registration booklet was used for all important matters at home.
Zhou Linhai didn't expect that such a young girl could think of this, and he looked at Jiang Tian with a new respect.
Jiang Tian cried and took off a bunch of keys from Wang Chunmei's belt.
When the villagers saw the key transferred from Wang Chunmei to the eldest granddaughter Jiang Tian, they couldn't help but sigh.
In rural areas, whoever is in charge of the household holds the keys to the entire household.
In the past, the Jiang family was managed by Old Lady Wang. Now Wang Chunmei is gone, and the eldest son is also gone, leaving behind a younger son who is still in high school. What's more, the eldest daughter-in-law, Hu Qiongfang, is an honest person who can't even be beaten with a stick.
It seems that the Jiang family will have to rely on their eldest granddaughter Jiang Tian to support them in the future.
"Isn't there still Le Sheng?" someone in the crowd muttered.
Unexpectedly, several voices immediately refuted her——
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Lesheng has been a good student since he was young. He wants to go to college and work as a cadre in a state-owned unit. How can he return to the village to manage the farm?"
"That's right. Lesheng hasn't even said he's going to marry yet. How can he have the nerve to live at home with a widowed sister-in-law and an unmarried brother-in-law?"
"Oh, that's right! It's just pitiful for Qiongfang. She has lost her husband and her brother-in-law is going to college. She will have a heavy burden in the future!"
"I don't think Qiongfang is very useful, but her daughter Tiantian seems to be able to take care of things. Two elders passed away in a row, and she even knew to take the key and look for the household registration book. It's obvious that she can take charge of the family, just like her grandmother."
"How can you say they are your biological children? In my opinion, Tiantian really can't go back to school this time. There must be someone who can take charge of this family, right?"
Jiang Tian was looking for her household registration book in her nursery while listening to the noise outside.
What the villagers said unexpectedly gave her some advice.
She was originally having a headache about how to persuade her mother to agree not to go back to school for the time being.
Now that Wang Chunmei is dead, Jiang Lesheng will definitely come back. This man is vicious and can do anything. If he comes back, Jiang Tian will definitely not let Hu Qiongfang or Jiang Cheng be alone with him.
Therefore, as long as Jiang Lesheng stayed at home for one day, she would not be able to go back to school with peace of mind.
However, there was another more important reason, which she was embarrassed to tell her brother.
Well, in her previous life, after she dropped out of junior high school, she went out to work, and later she kept selling lunch boxes on the construction site. It can be said that she hasn’t touched those junior high school textbooks for more than ten years.
It’s fake to say that you don’t like studying.
Jiang Tian now just can’t study at all, okay?
Therefore, regardless of whether she would continue to go to school or not, in order not to expose the fact that she had been reborn, she had to take a year off.
At least review the textbook knowledge of the first grade of junior high school.
Otherwise, when the teacher asks you a question, you won’t know anything about it. You’ll be in your sixties in two lifetimes and still be punished by standing in class. How embarrassing is that?
She was originally worried about how to convince her mother to let her take a year off from school.
After all, it was Wang Chunmei who monopolized the family's money and did not pay her tuition. Now Wang Chunmei is dead. As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. From now on, Hu Qiongfang, the eldest sister-in-law, will definitely be the one in charge of the family.
When her mother has money, she will definitely send her back to school immediately!
However, after hearing what the villagers just said, Jiang Tian suddenly realized, what the hell!
Why do I have to reason with her mother?
My younger brother is still young and my mother is sick again. Jiang Lesheng, that selfish guy, is about to take the college entrance examination. Even if he comes back to attend the funeral of his biological mother and brother, he will definitely go back to school.
There are so many things to do at home, including farming, raising pigs, herding cattle, cooking... her mother definitely can't handle it all by herself.
Jiang Lesheng is my brother-in-law and he will take the college entrance examination next year. Given Hu Qiongfang's personality, she will definitely not ruin his bright future for the sake of family matters.
Jiang Cheng is too young.
After much consideration, the only option was to let her take a year off from school and help out at home.
