People in the countryside often got injured, but they had never seen such a serious injury, let alone his two legs. None of them had the nerve to say anything.
Song Qinghan smiled bitterly. He looked hurt and did not want to get involved in this matter. Back then, he was able to disguise himself so well that his parents in the Song Family thought he was down and out. The whole village sympathized with him, but they were afraid to interact with him because they were afraid of being entangled with him.
Now, he could continue to disguise himself. As for his reputation?
He had no intention of maintaining it ever since he returned to the village.
Wang Jianye's heart skipped a beat, and he became more solemn.
However, his parents in the Song Family did not care at all. They only cared about the money. "Why don't you go rob a bank for 400 yuan? We have no more money. We've used up all our money. We really have no more money! "
Song Qingshan was also shocked. He shouted, "All these years, Song Qinghan came back to our house to buy meat. Isn't that money? Didn't you spend money to raise him? "
"But it didn't cost more than 600 yuan!" Sun Fang shouted back. "Don't think we're all fools. Everyone knows what you're doing. Hurry up and pay up!"
Mama Song kept shaking her head like a crazy woman. She did not want to argue with them and wanted to run back. She mumbled, "You're all crazy! Where do we have the money — — "
Wang Jianye pulled her back. "Don't go yet. We have to make things clear. Otherwise, there will be more trouble in the future!"
"Captain, don't listen to her nonsense. We don't have that much money!" Papa Song said harshly.
Su Jiaojiao crossed her arms. "Of course we do. You don't know, but the postal service keeps records. We'll know once we check it. Let me tell you, if you don't pay up, your son can forget about finding a good wife in the future. I'll go to whoever marries you and make a scene. I'll make your son a bachelor for the rest of his life!"
Children in the countryside usually got married at an early age. They started to talk about marriage at the age of 16 or 17. Coincidentally, Song Qingshan also started to talk about marriage. However, his situation was not bad. Because his family was fed by Song Qinghan, they were fatter than other families. Therefore, the Song Family planned to pick a good one. It would be best if it was a family that ate commodity food.
The Su Family members' eyes also lit up. Su Jiaojiao was right!
Sun Fang immediately pulled her husband and son and nodded. "Yes! If you're not fair and don't return Song Qinghan's money, we'll make a fuss every day until your house can't rest in peace! "
Suddenly, the faces of the Song Family's parents twisted, and they looked at her ferociously. "How dare you!"
Su Jiaojiao was very proud of herself for coming up with such a good idea. She raised her chin and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? Why don't you try? "
Their son was their life. Didn't they do all this for Song Qingshan?
Looking at Su Jiaojiao's arrogant appearance, and then looking at the Su Family members blocking her way, Mother Song couldn't wait to eat her flesh. Her whole body trembled with anger. If it wasn't for the fact that the Song Family was small, how could they be bullied like this?
Wang Jianye shook his head. He wanted to tell the Su family not to be so aggressive, but when he saw them acting like hens protecting their chicks and pecking at anyone they saw, he felt that it was not a big deal. He helped them and said, "Since that's the case, let's split the family assets fairly. You must have a lot of money left over from this 660 yuan. Why don't you push them too hard and ask for more? Why don't I make the decision and give each family 300 yuan? The rest can be considered as retirement money for the next five years.
Mama Song's face turned ugly. Song Qingshan wanted to shake his head, but he did not dare to. He really wanted to marry a wife, but of course, there was a more important reason — the Su Family had a lot of people and they could not afford to offend them!
Mama Song's lips trembled and her face was dark, but she did not want to agree.
From the beginning, the onlookers who were watching the show said, "This Su Family girl is really shrewish!"
"I really don't know why the eldest son of the Song Family married such a shrew and has such biased parents. What bad luck!"
Now, it became, "Oh my god, so much money? This Song Family girl is really black-hearted. Her eldest son is so filial, but she doesn't like him and only cares about the younger one! You can't blame her for making a scene! "
"Fortunately, we have this Su Family girl. Otherwise, Eldest Song would be bullied and unable to speak. That's six hundred and sixty yuan — "
Wang Jianye also heard it. He cleared his throat and said, "Okay, quiet down. Song Family girl, if you are still not willing to pay 300 yuan, then I won't care about this matter anymore. When the time comes, no one knows if your precious youngest son will be able to marry a wife!"
Mama Song cried, "Captain, you can't just ignore it!"
Wang Jianye was helpless, "I can't help it. After all, I'm busy. How can I keep an eye on them all the time? Can't you just give them the money? "
Upon hearing this, Mama Song's mind buzzed. She gripped her husband's shoulder so hard that it turned purple. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I'll give them! But they have to give me money every year for my retirement — — "
Su Jiaojiao immediately interrupted her, "No one in our family can work. Your son's leg is still injured, so how can we give him the money? Wait until he has a job. Otherwise, we will have to rely on you for support! "
Mama Song's face turned green and she almost couldn't hold it in anymore.
The men from the Su Family glared at her, "You dare?!"
Mama Song's face twisted again. She had thousands of words to say, but in the end, she could only roar, "Song Qinghan, you bastard! I really regret raising an ingrate like you!"
The person who was being scolded looked at her indifferently, as if she wasn't talking about him. There was no change in his expression.
He only hated himself for waking up too late!
*****
In the end, with the help of the Su Family and the brigade leader, they got three hundred yuan and separated from the Song Family. They moved their household register separately and put Song Qinghan and Su Jiaojiao together.
From now on, they were two different families. Since their relationship was still so bad, the Song Family had no right to enter their house as they pleased.
Before leaving, Su Jiaojiao even said that if such a situation happened again, she would directly report it to the police. The three members of the Song Family were so angry that they couldn't wait to make a scene again.
In the end, they were especially reluctant to give the money. If it weren't for Wang Jianye's black-faced urging, they would probably have delayed for a while.
Su Jiaojiao left happily under the gazes of the Song Family members who wished they could eat her blood. She took fifty of the three hundred yuan and gave it to Sun Fang in front of everyone in the Su Family, "Mom, it's all thanks to you that I can get this money back. Take it and buy some meat. Let's celebrate!"
Zhang Qian and Li Xiu's sour hearts suddenly felt comfortable, especially the more sensitive Zhang Qian. He looked at Su Jiaojiao suspiciously. Why was this sister-in-law so much more sensible than before?
She was really generous. She almost forgot how she made her angry before!
However, it was also good that her sister-in-law was sensible.
"Aiyo, you silly child, you're so wasteful. Take the money yourself. Mom still has some. Come over for dinner tonight. Mom will cook delicious food for you!" Sun Fang was reluctant to take the money.
Zhang Qian's eyes almost popped out. He almost reached out his hand and said, "I want it, I want it!"
Fortunately, Su Jiaojiao was generous. She directly stuffed the money into her mother's pocket and said coquettishly, "Mom, you take it. You can buy more delicious food. I'll be embarrassed to go back for dinner!"
Zhang Qian was afraid that Sun Fang would refuse again, so he quickly said, "Mom, little sister is filial to you. You should keep it. Besides, Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao are still young. They also need to eat."
That's 50 RMB ah!
How much could they buy with it? If the harvest was not good, a person's work points for a year would not be able to exchange for so much money. Thinking of this, Zhang Qian's heart was burning. He looked at Su Jiaojiao's pocket. There was still two hundred and fifty yuan. Unfortunately, he could not find an excuse to make her hand over the money.
Under her daughter's persuasion, Sun Fang reluctantly accepted the money. The smile on her face could not stop. "Jiaojiao is so filial. Mom's heart is as sweet as drinking brown sugar water!"
Su Jiaojiao was also beaming. She did not notice her sister-in-law's expression. She was happy. Two hundred and fifty yuan. With the help of the system, she estimated that she could live for two to three years, right?
She still had more than a hundred yuan on hand. It was the dowry given by Sun Fang. There was also the betrothal gift given by Song Qinghan to the two elders. Sun Fang did not accept it and put it in the box after she got married. Last night, when Su Jiaojiao cleaned it up, she found it. Therefore, the money was really a lot.
After bidding farewell to the Su family, Su Jiaojiao went back.
Song Qinghan was the same as when she left. He sat by the wall. At first, the sun did not come over, so he was still in the shadows. Now that it had been so long, the sun was shining on his body, making him feel a little warm.
Su Jiaojiao was in a good mood. Her voice was particularly crisp, "Why didn't you come in? Are you not feeling well? "
Song Qinghan's head moved, as if he had just regained his senses. He looked up at her and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. His whole person seemed to be covered with a layer of white gauze, instantly softening a lot. "You're back …"
His voice was pleasant to listen to, and he was also good-looking. When he spoke like this, Su Jiaojiao was electrified. A tingling sensation spread from her ears to her neck, and her body trembled. She quickly lowered her head and walked over to help him into the house. When she touched his body that was hot from the sun, she said, "Are you stupid? You're already like this and you still don't know how to come in."
Song Qinghan smiled and said, "I'm hungry."
"Oh, I'll make you some noodles later. You did well today. I'll give you an egg to eat." Su Jiaojiao's attention was immediately diverted as she said with a smile.
Song Qinghan was also very happy. "Thank you, Jiaojiao."
Su Jiaojiao's ears trembled again. She looked at Song Qinghan strangely. Why did she feel that he seemed to be different from before?
However, when she saw him looking at her with a smile on his face, she looked away awkwardly and took out the money in her hand. Su Jiaojiao said softly, "My parents put in a lot of effort to get this money back. Otherwise, they wouldn't be afraid of me, so I made the decision to give them fifty dollars. When the time comes, it'll be perfectly justifiable for us to freeload. There's still two hundred and fifty dollars left. Here's one hundred and fifty dollars. I'll take the other one hundred and buy some things for you when the time comes."
Su Jiaojiao didn't really want to take all of his money. After all, they were separated from the family for the sake of the mission. She would take half of the money as compensation for taking care of him. As for Song Qinghan's own money, she didn't think about it. Anyway, when the time comes when they were really poor, he would probably … give it to her, right?
After saying that, Su Jiaojiao thought of something and added, "I'll pay a visit to the brigade leader tonight to thank him for his efforts today."
Song Qinghan stared blankly at the little girl in front of her, who was no more than eighteen years old. She still looked a little immature on her face. She was counting her tender fingers as she babbled on. Waves of warmth flowed through her heart.
Seeing that he didn't say anything and was still staring at her, Su Jiaojiao awkwardly took a step back and whispered, "Are you stupid?"
Song Qinghan came back to his senses and realized what he had just done. Suddenly, his face heated up and he pulled himself together again. He stuffed the one hundred and fifty dollars back into her hand. "I said that you're in charge, so of course you're in charge of the money!"
Su Jiaojiao was dumbfounded. "You're really giving it all to me?"
Then should she accept it or not?
"We're already husband and wife. If I don't give it to you, who else should I give it to?" Song Qinghan looked at her with trust. His eyes were gentle as he pointed to the room. "There's a box under the bed. There's a metal box inside. It's all the money I've saved over the past few years, including the retirement allowance. I didn't give it all to them. I saved it all for myself. You don't have to worry about not having enough money."
In fact, ever since he came back two years ago, he realized that his room was gone and had become his younger brother's study. When he came back to live, he was even despised. He understood that he no longer had a place in this family.
The parental love that he had once longed for had completely turned into bubbles because of those faces. He also knew what he had to do.
If he hadn't already given twenty dollars back then, based on his mother's personality, she would definitely have realized that something was wrong if he had reduced it. She would have run to the army and made a fuss. It wouldn't have been beneficial to his future, and he definitely wouldn't have sent any more money.
His salary had increased over the years, but the money he gave had never increased. It made people think that he was still a lowly soldier and that it was a trick he had left for himself.
Su Jiaojiao knew that he still had a lot of tricks up his sleeves. She was also curious about how much money he had left. She simply brought him back to the room and closed the door.
The bed he was talking about was actually a kang. However, it was the kind that was made separately. It was designed by Jiang An, a northerner. The sides were left empty, and nothing could be seen on the surface. With a little fiddling and moving a brick, a hole could be seen.
The metal box was placed inside, and they could reach out and take it out.
When the metal box was opened, the banknotes were neatly placed inside. Most importantly, the box wasn't small. It was about the size of a 14-inch computer!
Su Jiaojiao took a deep breath and started counting seriously. "10 … 100 … 200 …"
"Twenty-two thousand!" Su Jiaojiao was shocked by the number. Then she looked up at the man who was sitting by the bed and looking at her with his head slightly lowered. For a moment, she felt that his face was exceptionally gentle. However, in the next second, she was too shocked to care about anything else. She slapped Song Qinghan on the shoulder and said in admiration, "Brother, you're actually quite smart!"
Song Qinghan's smile froze. … Bro … Brother?
