Huanshan County is surrounded by mountains, so there are a lot of fruits here. If you can’t sell them, you will use them to make preserved fruits. They are sour and sweet, and they are delicious. Packing, thinking that Mr. Sheng likes the pickled ginger and chili sauce here, Ye Ning ordered two bottles of each, carefully wrapped them and sent them to Beicheng.
Preserved fruit and sauce only cost six yuan, but the postage cost five yuan, and one-third of the monthly salary was gone. This money is really unnecessary.
The day before the first seven days, Ye Ning came home from get off work early, Ye Yu was waiting for Ye Ning at the place where she got off the bus, when she saw her, she ran over, "Sister."
"Is there anything going on these few days?" The only thing she was worried about was that the people in the old house would not give up.
"My aunt and uncle are here these days, nothing happened." Ye Eucalyptus said in a low voice, "It's just that the village suddenly heard that our father died and lost a lot of money, and some people came to ask me and my sister if they knew."
The things that will be discussed sooner or later, probably have already happened before, but they are not so blatant. Ye Ning knows who is behind the scenes with a guess, and there is no one except the family in the old house.
When they got home, Ye Qingmei had already cooked the meal, she greeted Ye Ning to sit down, she didn't say a word about the compensation, she only cared about how Ye Ning was doing at work, and whether she would be criticized by the leader for taking such a long leave.
"It's okay, the leader approved me to leave work early today, and said that it's okay to go to work later the day after tomorrow." Ye Ning took out the dried chicken and duck, "A friend sent it over, how about steaming one tonight?"
"Are you a classmate?" Ye Qingmei took the duck, a little confused, "Where did you send it?"
"No, a friend I met before." Ye Ning didn't intend to say more, but said: "I bought our special products around the mountain as a gift, so feel free to eat."
After hearing that Ye Ning had returned the salute, Ye Qingmei didn't say anything more, now that Ye Ning is a regular worker eating a national meal, what she said must be correct.
This is also the reason why Ye Ning wants a job first. No matter now or in the future, the family will treat you as an adult only if you work and earn money. If you have a good job, you can still have the right to speak at home , a very real problem.
"Sister, let's go after the first seven tomorrow." Ye Lan suddenly whispered.
Ye Ning glanced at her, her eyes were darkened, presumably because of the discussion about compensation in the village.
"No hurry, some things have to be cleared up early, otherwise it will be more troublesome to turn around." Ye Ning had reported her place of work in order to increase her prestige. If the old man Ye went to the city, she would suffer in the end. .
On the seventh day of Ye Qingshan's burial, Ye Ning invited Old Man Ye over. Originally Wang Chunxiang and others wanted to come, but Ye Ning sent him back. They were not real mothers and brothers. They just joined in the fun. Old Man Ye arrived not long ago. The uncle brought the eldest son over, followed by the old branch secretary, and finally the uncle brought several sons over.
The old man Ye became frightened when he saw his uncle, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you call me here today?"
"Recently, everyone in the village must know the uproar. That's right, it's about my dad's compensation." Seeing the old man Ye's eyes light up slightly, Ye Ning snorted coldly in her heart and continued: "I received The phone call came from the mine, and there were five other people with my dad, and the mine boss made an appointment with six family members to discuss compensation, each of which was 8,000 yuan."
When they heard that they had lost 8,000 yuan, everyone felt that it was true. In the countryside, 8,000 yuan is a lot of money. It can be said that there are not many people with 8,000 yuan in savings in ten miles and eight villages. It is money for life, and everyone feels that there is nothing to envy.
"The reason why I invite all the elders here today is because I invited you when the family was separated." Ye Ning took out the deed of the family separation, "It is clearly written in black and white. Things, and there is no need to give grandpa a pension, so the compensation has nothing to do with grandpa."
Before Old Man Ye could speak, Uncle, the old branch secretary, and Third Uncle all nodded in agreement.
"That's the reason. Eight thousand yuan seems like a lot, but your family Ye Lan is still in high school, and she will go to college later. Xiao An is still so young, not to mention food, clothing and tuition fees, you have to save some money for him." The money for marrying a daughter-in-law is calculated in sevens and eights, and 8,000 yuan is not enough." The more the uncle counted, the more the three children felt that it was not easy. It doesn't have to be so hard."
The old man Ye couldn't lift his head when he said this, no grandma or grandpa? But thinking about it carefully, he really can't help these three children.
The uncle snorted softly. In his opinion, it is better not to have a grandfather.
"That's right. There is only one male in Qingshan's family, Xiaoan. You and Xiaolan are older sisters, so please help more." The third uncle actually wanted to say that the money should be left to Ye Eucalyptus, but now the pillar of Ye Qingshan's family is Ye Qingshan. Lemon, that's not appropriate.
"Ye Eucalyptus is the younger brother of me and Xiaolan, of course we will take good care of him." Ye Ning felt that the third uncle was thinking too much.
The third uncle is not thinking too much, but seeing too much, not to mention the elder sister, but the elder brother, as long as he gets married and has his own small family, he will think about his own small family. When he has children, his mind is full of children. Who cares about younger siblings.
Apparently, the old branch secretary also had such thoughts, but he wouldn't say it out. After all, he was just here to be a witness, and he couldn't control other people's family affairs.
"You came to us today just to talk about the compensation?" The old branch secretary brought the topic back.
"Yes or no." Ye Ning looked at the old man Ye, "Since my father passed away, the things done in the old house have become more and more excessive, especially grandpa, it really chills the hearts of the three of us, we call you grandpa, But do you deserve this title?"
"Then what do you mean?" Third Uncle said sternly.
"Write another contract. My brother and sister don't need their help, and he doesn't need our filial piety. Whether we are good or bad, whether we live or die in the future has nothing to do with him." Ye Ning said directly.
The third uncle frowned, what's the difference between this and a divorce, but thinking about what the eldest brother's family did, it's no wonder the children feel chilled.
"Have you thought it through?" In this matter, the third uncle, the head of the Ye clan, has more say.
"I don't agree." Old man Ye blushed.
Uncle glared at him, "Then what do you mean, how much do you plan to pay for the tuition and living expenses of the two children in the future?"
"That's not compensation." Old man Ye knew what happened when he said it. Sure enough, seeing his brother-in-law raised his crutch to beat him, he quickly ran behind third uncle, "I don't mean anything else, it's just that what she said has something to do with divorce What's the difference? Besides, can she, a girl, decide on such a big matter? Let's talk about it when Xiao An grows up."
"No need, my sister is in charge of the house, and I always listen to her." Eucalyptus Ye, who had been silent all this time, said suddenly.
Ye Ning touched his head, looked at the old man Ye and said coldly: "I will leave all the 8,000 compensation to Xiao An, it is for Xiao An to marry a wife and start a family, this can also be written in the contract. "
Hearing this, the third uncle and uncle nodded in satisfaction. They all knew that Ye Ning had sold the land, and two thousand yuan would be enough for Ye Lan to graduate from college. Ye Lan would also work when the time came, and the two sisters would both be paid. They can raise eucalyptus leaves completely, so they have no doubts.
The old branch secretary, third uncle and uncle all agreed, and it was useless for old man Ye to be unwilling, so he reluctantly signed.
"I signed this too. Don't come to me if you have anything to do in the future." Old man Ye threw down his pen and left without looking back.
"Don't worry, I won't come to your house even if I ask for food." Whenever Ye Ning thinks of Ye Yu's ending in the book, she really wants to slap him a few times. Begging for food, hungry to eat sweet potatoes smeared with rat poison, poisoned to death, how can he still have the son Ye Qingshan in his heart, and the three grandchildren of the original body.
As soon as the third uncle and the old branch secretary left, the story of losing 8,000 yuan was spread to many people.
"I only guessed 8,000, and Osmanthus said it was 20,000. We are all worthless farmers, how could we lose so much?" An aunt in the village pouted.
"I also heard from my son that he said that the owner of the mine is rich and he lost a lot." Aunt Osmanthus explained unwillingly, "Besides, we have never seen it with our own eyes. It's not because of Ye Ning's mouth."
"It's 80,000, I think you haven't woken up yet." A granny laughed at her, "8,000 is not bad, plus the money for selling the land, hey, so Ye Ning has become a million-dollar household in our village?"
"Really, I heard from Er Mazi that he bought the land for more than 2,000 yuan. Counting the 8,000 yuan, it is not a ten thousand yuan household. Hey, that is the first ten thousand yuan household in our village." The aunt endured. Can't help but envy.
A granny rolled her eyes, "That's life money, do you want it?"
As soon as these words came out, the envy of the big guys disappeared again. Compared with money, life is still more important.
"I heard that Ye Ning added a clause to the deed, saying that she would leave all the 8,000 yuan to Ye Eucalyptus, and she and Ye Lan would not want anything." Regarding this point, some people think that Ye Ning has the demeanor of a elder sister , Some people think she is stupid.
No matter what others say, today is Ye Qingshan's first seven, and after doing the ceremony, the three of Ye Ning and his brother will stay for one more night and it will be officially over.
Early the next morning, Ye Ning and Ye Lan packed their things and prepared to go to the city, and Auntie also packed their things and prepared to return to Xiangshe Village.
"It's been so long since I've been out, and I don't know what happened to the pigs at home. If there's anything wrong, just tell my aunt, don't carry it by yourself." Ye Qingmei looked at the three children who had lost a lot of weight, tears came down again, "You don't have a father anymore, and you have my aunt."
"I know, aunt, let's go." Ye Ning left the village with her siblings.
When the step-grandmother and the others wanted to find her, they were in vain, and went back angrily.
She didn't find the deed in Old Man Ye's pocket until this morning when she was washing clothes, and she had a big fight with Old Man Ye angrily, because Ye Qingshan died, so Old Man Ye, the father, would have a share of the compensation.
It's a pity that the deed was written, and everything was too late.
Ye Ning stayed up all night last night, feeling dizzy, fell asleep when she got in the car, didn't wake up when she arrived in the city, returned home in a daze, told Ye Lan, and went to bed without taking off her clothes , until noon, Ye Lan didn't answer Ye Ning no matter what, she went in to see something was wrong.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Ye Lan touched Ye Ning's forehead, "Oh my god, it's so hot, sister, sister, wake up, Xiao An, come in quickly, sister seems to have a fever.",,,
