Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Although it was winter, news spread very quickly. Such a major event, especially one involving Zhang Hui, must be publicized widely.

Of course, local publicity alone was not enough. We had to write letters back home and talk about it with the educated youth from the neighboring brigades and communes when we went to the market.

Within a few days, many people knew about it, not only in the commune, but also in the county town.

Of course, everyone was united in keeping the secret from Zhang Tao and Zhang Hui. They were also worried that the two would attack them after they found out. After all, these two were not ordinary ruthless people.

Zhang Juan occasionally had to go out to purchase things, so of course she heard these rumors, but she didn't remind Zhang Hui and the others.

It's not that she didn't want to remind them, but their condition has been really wrong these days, with gloomy faces all day long. Although Zhang Tao really wants to sleep on the big bunk bed, the boy over there disagrees. After all, this guy is a ruthless person. What if he attacks them in the middle of the night?

And everyone's attitude was very consistent. After all, the two of them had already been together and had done things that they shouldn't have done, so there was no need to hide it.

So the two of them stayed in Zhang Hui's room. As for Zhang Juan, she would never appear in Zhang Hui's room unless it was necessary, such as going there to cook.

Zhang Yu was right next to Zhang Tao, so he didn't remind them. Instead, he was on high alert. The gangster asked them for 3,000 yuan. Zhang Tao and the others knew they had to give him the money, but they definitely wouldn't agree to give him so much. After communicating with him several times, they always ended up parting on bad terms.

Zhang Yu knew that Zhang Tao and the others were also waiting for remittances from their families. If their families gave them 3,000 yuan, they would just give the gangsters 3,000 yuan and they could pack up and leave.

But if their family doesn't give them three thousand, they can only continue to fight with the gangsters.

Zhang Tao was lying on the kang, feeling all uneasy. After all, giving out three thousand yuan at once was no small matter. Although it was already noted that it was Zhang Hui who needed three thousand, he was really not sure.

At this moment, the Zhang family had already received the telegram. When Xue Lei saw the telegram, she was really confused. What was going on? Why did they ask for three thousand?

Could it be that Zhang Hui got into university? But even if she did, it wouldn't cost 3,000 yuan. Someone in the factory got into university and already received an acceptance letter. Not only did they not have to pay tuition, they even got living expenses.

Even if Zhang Hui needed to buy something, she wouldn't need so much money. Xue Lei thought about it for a long time. Could it be that Zhang Hui encountered something in the Northeast? Otherwise, she would definitely not ask for so much money.

Thinking of this, Xue Lei could no longer sit still and stood up. The two families must discuss this matter together and discuss how to pay the money.

Qiao Xue was taking her children home from get off work when she saw Xue Lei sitting on a stool looking stupid with a piece of paper in her hand. She walked over to see what was going on.

As a result, she saw the content of the telegram and snatched it away. "Three thousand?"

"What's going on? Zhang Hui is just an educated youth in Northeast China. Why would she need three thousand?"

"Does she know what this 3,000 yuan means?"

"It would take a worker many years without eating or drinking to earn that much money." Qiao Xue knew that her parents-in-law, including her uncle, loved Zhang Hui very much. They sent her money and tickets every month. But if there were any good things in the house, they would never leave them to their children and grandchildren. They would always keep them and mail them to Zhang Hui later.

If it weren't for her crying and making a fuss, her children would have lived a worse life than rural children.

These past few days, her mood had improved considerably. Zhang Li had said Zhang Hui's grades were good and she was sure she'd get into university. She'd been thinking that if Zhang Hui did, she could get a good job and help them out. But now, things were different. Whether Zhang Hui would even get into university was uncertain, and a telegram asking for money had arrived. "Does she think our family is some kind of inexhaustible resource?"

"I'm telling you, if you dare to send the money out, I'll make a scene at the factory. I want people to see how many years I've been supported by my family after working as an educated youth in Northeast China for so many years."

"We all went to Northeast China as educated youth, and they mailed black fungus, dried shiitake mushrooms, pine nuts, and so on. But my three sisters-in-law went to Northeast China, and they never mailed anything home."

Qiao Xue got angry just thinking about it. "The most despicable one is Zhang Hui. Not only did she not send anything back, but she also asked us to pay her."

"Who do you think you are?" When Qiao Xue saw Deng Jie coming back, she immediately pulled her and told her the whole story.

Deng Jie already had some complaints against the Zhang family because Zhang Tao insisted on going to the Northeast. Now when she heard that Zhang Hui still needed 3,000 yuan, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

"Mom, I just want to know why Zhang Tao was sent to the Northeast. It's not because she's taking the college entrance exam, but because she has something going on there. Otherwise, why would she need 3,000 yuan when she's not doing well?"

Deng Jie knew that since the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination spread, many educated youth either took the college entrance examination or did not ask for any certificates and directly returned to the city with their luggage. Even if they were already married and had children in the local area, they were not taken care of in any way.

Thinking of this, Deng Jie suddenly looked up, "Second Aunt, is it possible that Zhang Hui has already married and had children over there? She wants to come back, but the other party doesn't agree. Zhang Tao went there just to deal with this matter."

Qiao Xue thought it made sense. "What? Zhang Hui is already married and has children in Northeast China. Now she wants to return to the city and wants us to mail money back?"

"How is this possible? I've never seen a girl who still needs support from her parents after she gets married. Not only did she not get the betrothal gift, but now she wants a divorce and even wants three thousand." Qiao Xue collapsed.

"Mom, when I married Zhang Li, you said that all the brothers in the family must be treated equally. Why don't you mention that now?"

"The total betrothal gifts and wedding expenses for Zhang Li and his brothers shouldn't exceed three thousand, right? And Zhang Hui just said one thing and she mailed three thousand over?"

Qiao Xue became angrier and angrier as she spoke. Deng Jie was also very angry beside her. "Second Aunt, tell me the truth, was it Zhang Tao who went to handle Zhang Hui's divorce?"

The two of them were talking so loudly that the neighbors next door could hear them. They immediately popped up and asked, "What? Zhang Hui is already married and having kids in Northeast China?"

"Ah, Zhang Gui and his wife must be heartbroken. They are looking forward to Zhang Hui's return."

"Come on, Xue Lei really loves Zhang Hui. She gave the job to her and would never give it to Zhang Qiang."

"That's how it is. No one treats a daughter better than a son."

Xue Lei was dizzy after hearing the conversation with her daughter-in-law and niece-in-law. She felt her head was buzzing. After she got used to it, she heard many neighbors discussing Zhang Hui's marriage and childbirth in Northeast China.

"Whoever said that my Xiaohui got married and had children in Northeast China is spreading rumors." Xue Lei said angrily.

Everyone was startled by her tone and pointed at Deng Jie, saying, "It was all her who said it; otherwise, why would we say such things?" (End of Chapter)
