As soon as Sun Daqin returned home, she saw several children playing in the yard.
Wang Shouren, Wang Shouyi and Xiaomei were sitting at the door of the main room weaving wicker baskets. Sun Daqin walked around the children and glanced into the room. She found that her mother-in-law was not there, and felt a little disappointed.
She walked up to Wang Shouren, took out the hundred yuan that Sun Baocai gave her, handed it to Wang Shouren, and then apologized to him.
Wang Shouren took the money, looked up at her, and asked with a straight face, "Will you bring our things back to your parents' home in the future?"
Sun Daqin was deeply hurt by her parents' family and immediately shook her head, "No more!"
Wang Shouren asked her to swear in front of Chairman M's portrait, and said harshly, "If you take the things back to your parents' home without my consent, I will divorce you. If you go back to your parents' home at such an old age, you will see if those blood-sucking relatives of yours can find you a good family. By then, you will either be the wife of an old bachelor or the stepmother of a second-rate guy. It is impossible for you to have such good conditions as me. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Sun Daqin was frightened by his words and quickly raised her hand to swear.
Seeing her do as he was told, Wang Shouren nodded at her expressionlessly and said, "Hurry up and cook the sweet potatoes. Our mother is going to get food with my two younger siblings. She should be back soon."
Sun Daqin immediately turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she glanced at him cautiously, "Have you collected enough money?"
Wang Shouren sneered, making Sun Daqin blush. Wang Shouren felt that it was meaningless to laugh at his wife. "My mother never counted on your family. Xiaowu came back yesterday and gave mother two hundred yuan, saying that he would lend it to us." After a pause, he added, "The extra hundred is for your health. Mother said that your body is too weak. If you don't take care of it, you will be sick."
These words were so heartwarming that Sun Daqin covered her face and burst into tears. Her mother-in-law still knew how to love her, but her parents were so cruel. She was really blinded by greed.
Seeing the remorseful expression on her face, Wang Shouren's eyes were sharp and his tone was heavier, with an obvious warning, "If you are not filial to my mother in the future..."
Hearing this, Sun Daqin didn't care about crying, and didn't even have time to wipe her tears. She nodded hurriedly and said, "I will definitely be filial to our mother."
Even the way she addressed him changed. In private, she always called him "your mother", "your mother", but now she actually called him "our mother", which surprised Wang Shouren.
However, when he saw her face was covered with snot and tears, he looked away in disgust and handed her the handkerchief his mother had given him, "Please pay attention to hygiene! Wipe your face."
Sun Daqin took the handkerchief and blushed with embarrassment.
Soon, Qian Shulan came back with her two daughters-in-law, carrying meals.
Seeing Sun Daqin coming back, Zhou Xuemei greeted her naturally, but Li Chunhua felt a little uncomfortable.
Qian Shulan reached out and touched Sun Daqin's forehead, frowned and scolded, "Why are you still running a fever? Why can't you take care of yourself!" Could she be crazy from the fever? There can't be any sequelae! Otherwise, what will happen to her grandmother
Sun Daqin was so moved that she covered her face and cried again. Qian Shulan sighed, turned around and went into her room to get some antipyretic medicine for Sun Daqin to take. She then said to Zhou Xuemei, "After the meal is heated up, add some firewood to the stove and boil some hot water."
Zhou Xuemei nodded and went to the kitchen to heat up the food, and Li Chunhua followed her.
Qian Shulan looked at Sun Daqin's clothes with some disdain, "How many days have you not washed them? How come you have become so sloppy after not seeing you for a few days! You are really amazing, you!"
In the past, Sun Daqin would have said that her mother-in-law was just pretending to be clean. But now, she feels that even her nagging is so warm, and that her mother-in-law is really caring about her.
She hugged her mother-in-law and cried hysterically.
Qian Shulan was stunned when she was hugged. Why did they all like to hug people? Qian Shulan patted her back with a smile and said to her in a soothing voice, "You should be more careful. You should pay attention to who treats you well and who treats you badly."
Sun Daqin let go of her mother-in-law, wiped her tears and nodded.
While eating, Qian Shulan glanced at Wang Shouyi and Li Chunhua and was about to speak.
Wang Shouyi said first, "Mom, let's use the money to treat my sister-in-law's illness first."
Qian Shulan looked at him in surprise, and Li Chunhua opened her mouth wide, also surprised.
Wang Shouyi blushed and said hesitantly, "Mom is right, we are all family."
Sun Daqin jumped up from the stool, knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Shouyi, "Third brother, thank you!"
Wang Shouyi quickly jumped up from the stool and helped her up, "Sister-in-law, we are all family, it's too formal for you to be like this, hurry up and get up!"
Wang Shouyi thought about this matter for a whole night before making the decision. His mother was right. If he wanted his children to be filial to him, he had to set a good example.
What's more, his son Zhuzi is only three years old, and he still has more than ten years to get married. With such a long time, the eldest brother and his wife will definitely be able to pay it back. The eldest brother has so many sons. In ten years, it would not be a big deal for each of the three sons to save 100 yuan.
Zhengguo has saved up seventy or eighty yuan in just half a year, so he is not worried that he won’t be able to pay them back.
Qian Shulan glanced sideways at Li Chunhua and saw that although she was very angry, she did not express any objection.
Men of this era are really amazing. He made the final decision on such a large sum of money without even informing his wife in advance.
Qian Shulan shook her head and didn't want to say anything more. Anyway, they would take care of it themselves when they returned to their room at night.
After dinner, Qian Shulan asked Sun Daqin to write a promissory note, in which Sun Daqin was the borrower.
Her tone was stern, with an obvious warning, "If you do something stupid again, you will have to pay back the money yourself. It was originally used to treat your illness."
Sun Daqin immediately assured, "Definitely not!"
Qian Shulan nodded and asked her to write an IOU, for the third room and hers.
"The two hundred dollars your parents paid was compensation for the things you took out of the house over the years. It doesn't belong to you. The money is mine for now. When you divide the family property, I will give it to you."
When this matter was mentioned, Sun Daqin felt a little guilty. She didn't even dare to raise her head. She nodded randomly and immediately wrote another IOU.
Of course, Wang Shouzhi's share also needs to be written. And Wang Danna's 50 also needs to be written.
After putting away the IOU, Qian Shulan said, "Don't feel too stressed. As long as you work hard, you can pay it back soon. Look at the bamboo baskets we make. They sell very well in the county town. In a few years, we can pay back all the money."
Qian Shulan didn't say this to coax Sun Daqin. Since the mountains were closed for afforestation, the furniture factory had no raw materials and had to stop working. Many families couldn't afford thirty-six legs for weddings, so they thought of other ways. If you can't build a wardrobe, buy a rattan basket with a lid. It can still hold clothes. It's very popular in the county. The Wang family is making this kind of basket now. Wang Shouzhi came back to get it last night and left early this morning.
Hearing this, Sun Daqin nodded immediately. Money is important, but it is nothing compared to one's own life.
In the evening, Zhou Xuemei came over with a wooden box.
Qian Shulan was not surprised at all to see her.
"Mom, this is the money we saved." I originally wanted to save a hundred dollars and give it to my mother-in-law, but who would have thought that something like this would happen.
Qian Shulan took a look at the wooden box she opened and found that there were actually ten yuan in it.
I guess it’s not easy for the fourth brother and his wife to save that money.
Qian Shulan sighed and handed the wooden box back. "Give it to me when you have saved up a hundred. It's hard for me to keep track of such a small amount of money."
Zhou Xuemei frowned and looked at her mother-in-law, a little curious, "Mom, didn't we spend the money? What are you going to do?" Even if her mother-in-law had some private money, it wouldn't be that much. Why wasn't she in a hurry at all
Qian Shulan sighed, "Before, your fifth brother left all the money he saved over the years with me. I told him to use it first."
Hearing this, Zhou Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she had money, it would be fine.
Although the money has been collected, I have to wait until the end of the year to go for treatment. Going earlier will only cost more money.
In the afternoon, the team received a notice that this year's work points had been calculated.
Everyone was excited; they didn't expect that they would get a share of the money this year.
They have paid all their grain this year as public grain, and the price given by the grain station is very low.
However, the food bought on the black market was very expensive. Everyone thought that this would only make up for the shortfall.
Who would have thought that they would have money to share, and they were all overjoyed.
They all ran to the brigade office to ask.
It is called an office, but in fact it is just a place for meetings.
He put a few tables together, took out the accounting book and started calculating work points.
This year, their team's work points are definitely not comparable to last year's, as one work point is only 2.5 points.
However, everyone in the Wang family went to the fields to earn work points, so they still got 305.80 yuan.
Qian Shulan returned home and started to do as she had said before, handing over half of the proceeds to the public and giving the remaining half to them as their private money.
The eldest couple received 46.5 yuan, while the third couple received a little more than the eldest couple, mainly because Li Chunhua helped the team raise chickens and got more work points, a total of 49.9 yuan. The fourth couple only received 7.5 yuan. The reason why it was so little was mainly because the fourth was a temporary worker, and his grain and oil were provided by his family, but he had never worked, so he had to make up the work points in the team. Zhou Xuemei's work points were almost all subsidized to him, and Zhou Xuemei took Xiaotao to treat her illness and did not work for several months. Therefore, he could only get this much money.
Wang Danna received 15.3 yuan, which was a little less, but she also had money from private teachers, which was extra and not included in the calculation.
Xiaomei got 12.6 yuan, Xiaohe got 10 yuan. Zhengguo and Zhengkang each got 2.8 yuan. This was the money they earned from the autumn harvest during the Great Steel Production Campaign.
At that time, Qian Shulan did not settle the bill for them. However, the two were not here now, so they could only wait for them to come back before settling the bill.
As for the youngest children, Qian Shulan gave them 10 cents each. In fact, based on their work points, they could only get 8 or 9 cents.
Qian Shulan also rewarded them in disguise, "In the future, you must work harder. Working people are the most glorious. Do you know that?"
The three children answered in unison, "Got it, Grandma"
As for Zhuzi, although he did not do any work, Qian Shulan still gave him three cents.
After dividing the money, Qian Shulan took the remaining money back to the house.
Zhou Xuemei followed closely and returned to her room.
When Li Chunhua saw her mother-in-law leaving, she chased her three daughters and began to ask for money, "Give the money to me. You kids, be careful of being stolen when you have so much money. When you need money, ask me for it."
Xiaomei was already fourteen years old and had long known that money was a good thing. Seeing her mother staring at the money in her hand, she immediately stuffed the money into her pocket and said, "Mom, no need. I've never lost anything."
Xiao He was more outspoken than Xiao Mei. She pouted and said, "Mom, do you think I'm stupid?"
Having said that, he ran out of the house without waiting for Li Chunhua to speak.
Li Chunhua was so angry that she wanted to chase after him and beat him up.
But Xiao He ran so fast that she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Chunhua began to nag Xiaomei again, "Xiaomei, give the money to me. I still need to buy you a dowry."
Xiaomei shook her head and refused, "Mom, I don't need you to keep it."
Having said that, he took his dirty clothes and walked out of the yard.
Li Chunhua was so angry that she stamped her feet. When she saw Xiaolian, her eyes lit up, "Xiaolian, can you give the money to me? I will buy you some candy."
Xiaolian immediately hid her hands behind her back and looked at her mother warily, "I don't want it. I can ask grandma to buy some. She has candy, but you don't!"
This was said with such confidence that Li Chunhua was almost mad to death.
They were more difficult to deal with than the last one. She couldn't even handle the youngest, Xiaolian. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
The youngest, Zhuzi, ran over with the three cents his grandmother had given him. He held onto Li Chunhua's legs, raised the money high, tilted his neck and shouted in a crisp voice, "Mom, this is for you!"
Li Chunhua looked down and saw her son's big round eyes looking at her with a smile. He stood on tiptoe and kept bringing the three one-cent bills in his hand closer to her. She picked up her son and kissed him, "My dear, you are such a good son!"
Zhuzi hugged his mother's neck and giggled.
Xiaolian looked at the two of them disappointedly from the side.
