Chapter 6 Pay back the money!
Sun Honghua heard that Qian Xiaolan not only wanted to take their family’s things, but also wanted to deduct their work points to offset the money, and the brigade leader agreed, she couldn’t care about the pain in her body anymore, she immediately got up from the ground and shouted loudly: “No! If you take all the things from my house, what will we eat?” Qian Xiaolan glanced at them and turned to go back. The brigade leader sneered: “Out with the old, in with the new, you can buy new things with money.
” He was so angry, Qian Changcai and the two of them had clearly promised to take good care of Qian Xiaolan back then, but what happened? They made her suffer for several years in their house! He felt sorry for his good brother, Qian Changfu! The brigade leader didn’t want to deal with those two bastards, he directly instructed the Gu brothers: “You three, call my eldest brother and second brother, and go to Qian Changcai’s house to help Xiaolan move things.”
“Okay, we’ll go right away!” Gu Lao San was a person who loved to watch the excitement, he immediately responded excitedly, pulling his two brothers and ran away. Hu Guifen also said to her three daughters-in-law: “We’ll go and help too.
” The three Gu daughters-in-law couldn’t wait for Qian Xiaolan to bring back more things, so that they could share less of the family’s things in the future, they immediately agreed and went to Qian Changcai’s house together. Seeing that they were serious, Sun Honghua slapped Qian Changcai, turned and ran home. When Qian Xiaolan arrived home, she went straight to Sun Honghua and her husband’s room.
The wardrobe, chests, quilts, tables and chairs, were all moved to the yard. Then, a few pieces of furniture from Qian Mudan’s room were also moved out, Qian Mudan wanted to stop her, but Qian Xiaolan fixed her in place with a cold look, and then she was taken to the yard by the Gu family and made to stand there. When Sun Honghua rushed back home, she saw that all the furniture in her house had been moved out, she immediately slapped her thighs and sat at the gate crying: “It’s a sin! We’ve raised a white-eyed wolf!
We’ve fed and clothed her for five or six years, and now she wants to take our things, I can’t live anymore! I can’t live anymore!” Qian Changcai rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush into the house, but he was stopped by the Gu sons, he was so angry that he cursed: “Don’t push your luck, Gu family! Those are my things, why are you so eager to help that stinky girl empty my house, do you want to take my things for yourselves?” Hu Guifen spat at him: “Who wants your junk? If you hadn’t been shameless and refused to return Xiaolan’s parents’ money, Xiaolan wouldn’t have thought of using this junk to offset the debt.
” Qian Xiaolan let them cry and shout, she instructed the Gu brothers to move all the furniture out before stopping. Then, she looked at the brigade leader, and their eyes met, both of them looked at the chests and locked cabinets at the same time. Qian Xiaolan didn’t expect the brigade leader to be so in sync with her, she smiled and said loudly: “Brigade leader, their furniture is all too old, it’s not worth much, I’ll just take the things inside along with it.” As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and pressed it on the chest, and then she saw Sun Honghua glaring at her with an ugly expression.
She smiled in her heart, then took her hand away, pointed at the cabinet that was moved out of Sun Honghua’s room, and instructed the Gu brothers: “Please, Brother Gu and Brother Gu San, move this wardrobe to my parents’ house.” Hearing this, Sun Honghua was shocked: “Stop, stop! Our clothes and quilts are in there, if you move them, what will we wear?” Qian Xiaolan looked at the brigade leader again, the brigade leader suddenly said: “Xiaolan, after all, they are your uncle and aunt. If you really move all their things out, you will also be gossiped about, why don’t you leave their clothes and quilts?” Gu Shengli knew that Grandma Qian had a little bit of money, she was so partial, after she died, it must be in Sun Honghua and her husband’s hands, he just didn’t know where it was hidden.
He was very pleased that Qian Xiaolan could think of this way to find the money, this girl had finally come to her senses. Qian Xiaolan listened to Gu Shengli’s words, hesitated for a moment, seeing that people outside were already gathered around and pointing, she reluctantly nodded: “Alright then!” As she said this, she directly opened the cabinet and took out the clothes and quilts one by one and shook them out.
Sun Honghua and Qian Changcai watched her actions, they wanted to rush over but couldn’t, they were so anxious that their faces turned pale, and they cursed loudly. Hu Guifen finally understood the intention of Qian Xiaolan and Gu Shengli, she also went over to help shake the clothes. “Plop” a black cloth package fell from a coat to the ground. Qian Xiaolan’s eyes lit up, she bent down and picked it up, opening it under the devouring eyes of Sun Honghua and her husband. She opened one layer of black cloth, then another layer of blue cloth, then another layer of flower cloth, then another layer of oil paper, and then a handkerchief.
Qian Xiaolan opened five layers of packaging speechlessly, and finally saw a stack of large bills and some coupons inside. Judging from the thickness, it was more than five hundred. Sun Honghua and her husband were powerless to stop her, they collapsed to the ground. Qian Xiaolan snorted coldly: “Didn’t you say you had no money? What are these?” Gu Shengli said with a smile: “Those must not be theirs, they must have fallen from my sister-in-law.” Hu Guifen very helpfully agreed: “Yes, yes, I brought all my money with me when I went out today, I was going to buy a sewing machine and a bicycle with Xiaolan.
” “Ah, ah, ah, Hu Guifen, you shameless woman, that’s my family’s money, the money I hid in my coat!” Sun Honghua was so angry that she was about to explode, she didn’t expect Gu Shengli to be so blatant in helping Qian Xiaolan.
She also didn’t expect that the other cadres in the village were standing at her door, watching the show silently. Qian Xiaolan counted out four hundred yuan from the stack of money, then took the food coupons and cloth coupons from the tickets, and also handed the four hundred yuan to the village accountant.
“Here is four hundred yuan, please count it, Accountant Wu.” Accountant Wu reached out to take it, counted it slowly in front of everyone, and said to the brigade leader after finishing: “Here are four hundred yuan, correct.
” Gu Shengli nodded: “Okay, this money is Xiaolan’s. Qian Changcai, you two don’t think about getting this money back, you’ve already taken advantage of her for many years. Back then, you were the ones who actively went to the brigade and said that you were Xiaolan’s relatives, that you were willing to take her in and give her a bite to eat, and you also said that you would return all the money to her when she got married, now she’s about to get married, it’s only right that you return the money to her.”
Sun Honghua held the remaining hundred or so yuan, clutched her chest, and gasped in pain: “But she said herself back then that she would give us a hard-earned fee. We’ve provided her with food and lodging for five or six years, and we’ve worked hard for her, how can one hundred yuan be enough?” Qian Xiaolan found her annoying, and didn’t want to leave anything for their family, she directly asked Hu Guifen and her daughters-in-law to help her pick all the vegetables in the vegetable garden. She also asked the Gu brothers to move half of the firewood in the backyard, and she picked out her own things from the pile of furniture.
Only then, under the angry expressions of Sun Honghua’s family of three, did she say to Accountant Wu: “My work points over the years have been recorded by Accountant Wu, I ate two meals of rice soup without any rice grains in their house every day, and all the vegetables were grown by myself, my work points should be enough for me to eat, right?” Accountant Wu nodded: “I’ve seen the food you eat, you can see your reflection in it, you don’t even need a catty of rice a day for that kind of food.” Qian Xiaolan nodded, and repeated what she said in the field, asking Accountant Wu to help her calculate.
Accountant Wu took his notebook and pen and sat down at a table to calculate. Their voices were loud, and the villagers outside the house heard Qian Xiaolan calculating the accounts for all these years, and they no longer disapproved of her unfeeling behavior today. Accountant Wu finally added it up, Qian Xiaolan’s work points over the years, excluding her food and lodging, there was still a surplus, she didn’t eat or spend a single grain of rice from Sun Honghua’s family for free. There was no need to give Sun Honghua’s family any extra money.
Moreover, she had also been working like a cow or a horse for them all these years, handling everything big and small in the house. Qian Xiaolan was even willing to give one hundred yuan, Sun Honghua’s family was really taking advantage of her. Sun Honghua and her husband were dissatisfied and wanted to make a fuss, Qian Xiaolan didn’t even look at her, she picked up the bed board next to her and went out of the yard.
