Chapter 280 Wang Lilai Returns (1)
On the road from Linshan Town to the Red Star Production Brigade, a lonely figure, wrapped tightly, was walking with difficulty in the snow with a package on his back.
The temperature at this time is probably around minus 20 degrees Celsius. Unless there are special circumstances, people will not choose to travel at this time.
I don’t know what this person was thinking. He actually chose to go out at this time.
As Wang Lihua walked with difficulty, she gritted her teeth in her heart and cursed her relatives desperately.
When they persuaded her to go to the countryside, they said so nicely that she went there for her family and they would definitely not treat her badly.
She would be sent money, food and tickets on time every month, so she didn't have to work hard in the fields to support herself.
I didn't expect that less than half a year after I went there, not only was there no whereabouts for the money and food coupons that were promised to be sent on time, but even the letters became less frequent.
The occasional letters she received were all about complaining about her poverty and telling about the difficulties at home. They said that she could get money and food in the countryside, and occasionally even eat meat, which was much better than their life in the city.
She said that her brothers are now all married, have wives and children to support, and their salaries have not increased, so they really cannot squeeze out extra money to support her adult sister.
Her mother has given her job to her new third sister-in-law, saying that this was agreed upon before the marriage.
But her mother seemed to have forgotten that she had promised her that she would only stay in the countryside for one or two years to silence others. Then she would take over her mother's job and take the opportunity to return to the city.
Why did her mother go back on her word and give the job to her third sister-in-law who had just married into the family?
Although the family has not yet split up, as soon as my third brother got married, his salary was held tightly by his sister-in-law and never given out.
All living expenses are paid by my parents.
Even when the grandchildren wanted snacks or toys, they would send their own children to ask their grandparents for money, and they never paid for it themselves, for fear that if they didn't take any, others would get it for free.
Now her father is the only one earning a salary, and he has to support such a large family, so how can he have money to support his daughter?
My parents said that although the family had some savings, after their three sons got married and had grandchildren, there was little left.
Before I went to the countryside, I lived in the same house with my two nieces. But when I returned this time, there was no place for me in that house.
There was a bunk bed, with the eldest niece and the second niece each taking one. They refused to sleep in the same bed with her, saying that they were used to sleeping alone.
Even if the two sisters were asked to sleep in one bed, they were not willing to do so, saying that they were already grown up and the bed that was less than one meter long would not accommodate both of them.
As a result, she had to sleep in the living room in the middle of winter.
Just sleep in the living room. In the middle of winter, she was given a thin autumn quilt and told that there was none at home.
She also said that it is so cold in Northeast China, but she can live well, which shows that she is not afraid of the cold.
Besides, her cotton coat and pants are so thick, there is no way she would feel cold when sleeping in them.
But when her family members were at work and her mother was out buying groceries, she was cleaning the house and saw a new winter quilt that was not being used in her third sister-in-law's room.
Wang Lihua knew that they were resentful of her for not taking out her own cotton-padded coats and trousers and sharing some of the cotton to make cotton-padded coats for her nephews and nieces.
They didn't even think about her. The Northeast is so cold. How would she survive without this thick equipment?
The other educated youth at least had pregnancies to replace them, but she only had one. If she shared the cotton with them, she would freeze to death.
Several brothers and sisters-in-law all implied that these cotton-padded clothes and cotton were purchased with the family's money, and it was only right for the family to use them equally.
They didn't even think about the fact that they hadn't sent her money or tickets for more than a year, and that she had been working in the fields to earn work points to support herself for more than a year.
The cotton-padded clothes and cotton pants were all earned by her own money, not given by her family.
She was so angry that she started quarreling with them, but she was no match for the three couples, not to mention that she had nephews and nieces to help her.
She asked her parents for help, but instead of helping her, they accused her of being ignorant and stirred up family conflicts as soon as she came back.
Why did she come back and cause unrest in the family?
It started as a war of words, but later escalated into a physical fight. How could she be a match for a group of people alone? She suffered a lot.
During the days she was back home, Wang Lihua finally realized that there was no place for her in this family anymore.
She felt a little regretful and wondered why she came back.
Why should they save the meat that they are given to make bacon and bring it back to feed these heartless people?
Wang Lihua is not someone who will swallow her anger. Since you have been so unkind to me, don't blame me for being unfair.
When no one was at home, she carefully searched several of her sisters-in-law and the places where her parents hid the money.
After all, there are only a few places to hide money in this day and age, and you can find one easily.
This search almost made her explode with anger. Everyone said they had no money. Even her third brother's family, who had the least money, had about 500 yuan. Her parents had the most, with more than 3,000 yuan.
They were all wealthy, and none of them cared about her living a hard life in the countryside.
Even cotton was snatched from her.
When Wang Lihua saw the money, she became more determined to take revenge on the family.
She didn't act immediately for fear of being discovered.
She went out and bought a return ticket, and secretly prepared some dry food for herself.
Since she came back, cooking at home has been her job.
Although the food for each meal is rationed, it is relatively easy for the cook to do some tricks, not to mention that her mother won't keep an eye on the food bag all day and all night.
The train ticket she bought was for around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the train station was not far from her home.
After lunch on the day of departure, her mother took her grandson, who was not of school age, out to play. She searched the rooms of her parents and three brothers and sisters-in-law for all the money and notes, packed her luggage and left home.
The tickets she got were all local tickets. They would become waste paper once she left their place, so of course she couldn't waste them.
After getting the money and tickets, she went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative and exchanged all the tickets she needed for real items.
As for the things I couldn’t use, I asked the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange them for money.
Her family has done this a lot, and she had helped her family do it before. She was familiar with the salesperson, so he gave the job to her without saying a word.
After buying things and packing them, she was worried that someone would miss her on the way, so she ran to the post office to send the package.
Worried about safety on the train, she secretly stuffed half of the money into the package and sealed it after the postal staff checked it.
After sending the package, she ran to a state-owned restaurant to buy some leftover steamed buns and steamed bread, and headed straight to the train station.
Based on my experience these days, when she is at home cooking, her mother will not come back until everyone else gets off work.
When she found that no one was at home, her first reaction was that she was lazy and went out to play.
Later I realized that my luggage was missing and had already run away. It must have been after the others came back.
By the time you realize the money is missing from your home, it's already too late.
The train had already left for several hours by then, and they couldn't catch up with me.
