Zhang Miaomiao said, "You didn't ask. Besides, in this village, Zhang Shugen is almost eight years old. How can we lose him? " After a pause, Zhang Miaomiao looked at her father. "Miao Cao and I have been working in the fields with you since we were seven or eight years old. How old is Tree Root now? He will be eight years old in two months. What can he do besides crying? "
"Tree Root is the son of the family. How can he be like a girl?" Chen Xiuzhen said hatefully. She turned around and walked outside. Tree Root was her lifeline. He was the one who gave Chen Xiuzhen a stable foothold in the Zhang Family. She also had the confidence in the whole village.
Chen Xiuzhen would never forget the days when she didn't have tree roots.
Chen Xiuzhen married into the Zhang Family at the age of fifteen and gave birth to two girls in a row. The third child was said to be a son in the village. Her mother-in-law began to provide good food and drinks, and Chen Xiuzhen was also treasured.
However, it turned out to be a girl. Because the girl was too heavy, she injured Chen Xiuzhen's body. As a result, she didn't have a child for seven or eight years. Their family had always been suppressed by their mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Seeing her sister-in-law's two sons being treasured by her mother-in-law, Chen Xiuzhen's heart was tormented.
Later, she finally got pregnant again, but who knew it was a girl, Zhang Miaocao.
After giving birth to Zhang Miaocao, Chen Xiuzhen began to despair.
The whole family lived together, and her mother-in-law was always biased towards her sister-in-law's family. Even in school, her eldest and second son only went to school intermittently for a few years at the age of nine. However, Chen Xiuzhen thought that she didn't leave any descendants for the Zhang Family. In the future, when she died, she would have to rely on her nephew. She immediately stopped resisting. From then on, she ignored her second sister-in-law's unreasonable appearance and behaved with her tail between her legs.
However, The Third Eldest Son was different from a young age. The little girl was cunning.
Her mother-in-law was biased and didn't let her go to school. The third girl went to school to listen. Later, due to the rumors in the village, her mother-in-law agreed to let The Third Eldest Son go to school.
The Third Eldest Son worked hard, and his grades were always among the best. Later, he graduated from primary school and got the first place.
It was just that her mother-in-law warned her not to let her third son continue to go to school. She wanted to save money for her second son's children to go to middle school and high school. After all, they would have to rely on the second son's children in the future. So, she agreed to her mother-in-law's words.
However, she didn't expect that The Third Eldest Son would go to the Family. But she didn't expect her to go to the Eldest Family. and Xia. go to to., Zhang. Although Chen Xiuzhen was initially shocked and angry when the news about her family was reported by the county reporters, she gradually became happy.
"Old Xizhen" t the Chen "Long ago" Zhang "t" the The Third Long the Family., "Chen Zhang" old Zhang "Zhang" old, "Zhang"'m Zhang. " At first, Chen Xiuzhen was angry that Zhang Miaomiao exposed their dirty linen. But she didn't expect Zhang Chengzong to refuse, which made her father-in-law and mother-in-law drive the whole family out.
Although their family suffered for a while, it felt great to be in charge of the family. Chen Xiuzhen felt much more relaxed. Half a year later, she got pregnant again.
This time, Chen Xiuzhen finally gave birth to her baby, Tree Root.
Since the first branch had a son, her mother-in-law started to treat her differently. Chen Xiuzhen turned the tables in the Zhang family, so she was more confident. When the village scolded her for being extinct, she and her husband could fight back.
From then on, Chen Xiuzhen's comfortable days began.
Later, a lot of things happened in the old house. The eldest sister-in-law's son learned bad things in the County and was finally sent to the police station. The second sister-in-law blamed her mother-in-law for spoiling her son. They almost got into a fight. In the end, the second family also separated from the old house. But in less than two years, the Third Eldest Son of her family was admitted to the university as the top female scholar.
Her father-in-law's attitude changed immediately. He praised the Third Eldest Son. Although her mother-in-law was a little awkward, Chen Xiuzhen could see that she was also proud of the Third Eldest Son.
And her mother-in-law loved the tree root even more. She thought of her son and her family for all the good things. The tone of her mother-in-law when she spoke to her was so gentle that Chen Xiuzhen wondered if she was dreaming.
Chen Xiuzhen's back, which was originally bent, gradually straightened up.
Chen Xiuzhen attributed all the good luck to her son, Zhang Shugen. She could only feel at ease if she kept Zhang Shugen under her eyes at all times.
Zhang Miaomiao watched her mother run out and couldn't help but say, "Dad, do you still remember what happened to Second Uncle's eldest brother?"
Zhang Chengzong looked at Zhang Miaomiao in confusion.
Zhang Miaomiao said, "After cousin was arrested, he blamed our family for not providing him with good conditions. Second Aunt blamed Grandma for spoiling cousin, and Grandma blamed Second Uncle and Second Aunt for not working hard to make money for cousin. Do you also want the tree root to follow in cousin's footsteps? "
"You …" Zhang Miaomiao's words were really unpleasant to hear. Zhang Chengzong's face suddenly darkened.
"Isn't it?" Zhang Miaomiao directly interrupted Zhang Chengzong's words. "Mom wants to hang the tree root on her body like a belt. Grandma is also the same. She spoils everything. He's almost eight years old now, but he can't do anything. Sometimes, he needs Mom to feed him. What do you think will happen in the future? "
Zhang Chengzong's original bad expression slowly eased, and he looked thoughtful.
…
Whether her father heard her or not, Zhang Miaomiao didn't know. The next day happened to be market day. Zhang Miaomiao ate lunch and took the money order to the post office in town.
There were more people at the post office on market day. Zhang Miaomiao waited for half an hour before it was her turn. He took out the money with the money order and ID card, then took out a deposit slip and deposited all the money together.
The staff who deposited the money looked at Zhang Miaomiao with the money and deposit slip. Seeing that Zhang Miaomiao had so much money at such a young age, she was a little suspicious. "Wait a moment." She took the money order to the back to verify.
When the staff was verifying with the leader, the courier who delivered the letter yesterday happened to have something to do at home. He came in to ask for leave. After hearing their words, he quickly said, "How can there be a problem? Don't you know who she is? "
The staff and the post office leader looked at the courier. "You know her?"
"She was the top scholar in liberal arts four years ago." The courier said, "I was the one who delivered the registered letter yesterday. She seems to have written a novel and was accepted. She should be here to collect the royalties today. By the way, how much is the royalties? "
"Five hundred yuan," the staff said. As for the deposit, the staff didn't say anything.
"So much?" The postman clicked his tongue. "She really is the top scholar."
"Since it's Zhang Miaomiao, hurry up and do it." The post office leader also knew Zhang Miaomiao, so he ordered the staff.
Zhang Miaomiao waited for a long time for the staff to come back. Although she was puzzled, she didn't doubt it. She directly asked the staff to deposit the money together.
"This old deposit slip is fixed for a year. If you deposit it together, you have to withdraw all of it after a year. Are you sure you don't need it urgently? Don't you want to deposit some current money? "
Zhang Miaomiao originally thought that after she wrote another 50,000 words and sent it, she would get royalties again. But the staff's words reminded Zhang Miaomiao that she might need the money during the summer holidays. So she divided the royalties into two portions. One portion was 300 yuan for the current account, and the other 200 yuan was added to her savings from university. After that, Zhang Miaomiao took the huge deposit slip of almost 2,000 yuan to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Nowadays, the supply and marketing cooperative has long removed the rule of buying goods with tickets. Later, because of the emergence of other shops in town, the cooperative's business has been declining. Therefore, the director of the cooperative implemented a subcontracting system, just like how farmers subcontract their land.
The large signboard of the cooperative has not been changed, but each of the counters inside the cooperative is divided into different areas. The staff has to hand in a certain amount of money every month and be responsible for their own profits and losses.
Yang Wenfang was the bolder one. The moment the director of the cooperative was announced, she was the first to jump out and contract the daily necessities, tobacco and drinks counter.
The business has always been the best.
