Chapter 13 Doubt
"Why are you so late today? Is everything okay?"
Before Jiang Dahai entered the yard, Li Hongying went out to greet him with concern.
The factory was quiet during this period, so Jiang Dahai didn't have to work overtime. He got off work at 6 o'clock every day and got home at 6:.
I didn't get home until almost 7: today.
"It's okay. I weighed a pound of braised pork head on the way."
Li Hongying took the meat from him, surprised and happy, "Is there some good news? It's so unreasonable to eat pig's head."
"We haven't had meat at home for a long time, so we're giving the kids a treat."
As soon as the fragrant braised pork head was served on the table, Jiang Peng ate it like a mad dog without stopping.
Li Hongying and Jiang Qing, mother and daughter, also had their mouths full of grease.
These days, being able to eat a meal of meat is even more joyful than celebrating a festival.
"Jasmine, eat more."
Jiang Dahai didn't even bother to eat himself and kept picking up food for Jiang Moli.
Jiang Moli's bowl soon became piled up like a small mountain.
Li Hongying and Jiang Qing didn't say anything, but Jiang Peng was fed up, "Dad, why don't you just give me the whole basin!"
"Eat your food, so much bullshit!"
After scolding his son, he turned to Jiang Moli and immediately put on a fatherly smile.
"Eat."
Jiang Dahai's abnormal attitude made Jiang Moli feel uneasy, "Dad, this is not my last meal, is it?"
"Bullshit."
Although it was a scolding, the tone was very intimate, "Don't let your imagination run wild, eat quickly, after you finish eating, Daddy has something to ask you."
Jiang Moli guessed that it might be related to going to the countryside, so she started eating without worry.
Li Hongying asked casually, "Didn't the meat coupons at home run out a long time ago?"
"I bought it on credit. I'll pay it back when I get my salary."
I have to buy eggs and meat on credit. This is how I live.
The pork head was handled a bit carelessly, with hair on many parts.
In the past, Jiang Moli wouldn't even glance at this kind of hairy meat.
But the situation is pressing. I have eaten seven meals in the past two days, and tonight is the first time I have eaten meat, and I bought it on credit.
She had no room to be picky and could only use chopsticks to skim off the hairy parts.
……
After dinner, the father and daughter went out.
Jiang Peng wanted to go along, but was driven back by Jiang Dahai.
When they were alone, Jiang Dahai spoke up, "Moli, Officer Gao said you went to see her and asked if the matter of going to the countryside has been resolved?"
"Ah."
Jiang Dahai was both happy and worried. "How did you solve it? We can't do anything illegal or disorderly."
Jiang Moli told the truth.
She needs to get a job quota before the deadline for educated youth registration.
As for Gao Jing, she would symbolically call Jiang Dahai to the Youth League Office, criticize and educate him, and silence the gossips, and the matter would be over.
"You gave the job to Officer Gao without authorization. I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Miss Lu and the others, right?"
"Dad, if money can solve it, it's not a problem."
She tried her best to complete the task within half a year and get the 1 million bonus.
He took out about ten thousand yuan and divided it among Lu Tingting and the other two, saying it was the money from selling their jobs.
"You're right. As long as you don't have to go to the countryside, it's better than anything else. At worst, I can give them half of my salary in the future."
It is really not easy for Jiang Dahai to say this.
After all, the Jiang family was not well off financially, and they had to buy meat on credit. Based on this, Jiang Moli decided to leave 100 million yuan for the father and son before she left, so that they could live a stable and prosperous life.
"Don't tell your Aunt Ying and Xiaoqing about this yet. Xiaopeng should also keep it a secret. Everyone is watching our family. If we make a fuss, it will cause trouble again."
Jiang Dahai specifically took Jiang Moli outside to talk in private, just in case there were eavesdroppers.
Jiang Qing found a partner, and Jiang Moli was preparing to marry her childhood sweetheart. He and Li Hongying kept these two things secret.
Now that he has been reported, Jiang Dahai actually suspects the Zhou family next door.
The two families lived in the same courtyard, so it was inevitable that their voices could be heard when they spoke.
After returning home, Jiang Dahai found his deceased wife's pearl earrings and pearl silver necklace and gave them to Jiang Moli.
"I didn't give it to you before because I was worried that you would be so heartless as to lose it. Now that you've grown up and become sensible, I'm relieved."
This is to completely pass the things to Jiang Moli.
It is obvious how relieved and happy Jiang Dahai is that Jiang Moli solved the problem of going to the countryside.
……
There was an open-air movie in the People's Square in the evening. Jiang Peng wanted to go watch it, and Jiang Moli, who had nothing to do, went along to join in the fun.
"Sister, you and Dad were talking outside for a long time. What were you talking about?"
"Don't inquire about social matters."
Jiang Peng smiled awkwardly, "Well, since you didn't tell me anything, I'll hide something from you. Now we're even, right?"
Jiang Moli smiled, "I won't tell you my own truth. If you're hiding something from me, you must be hiding something."
Jiang Peng: “…”
After the brother and sister left, Jiang Dahai also went out with his tool bag.
In addition to understanding mechanics, he also knows about plumbing and electricity. In his spare time, he would take on odd jobs such as plumbing and electrical repairs to earn extra money to supplement the family income.
After the father and his two children left the house, Li Hongying looked at her daughter who was busy rubbing clothes and said to her comfortingly:
"Don't be upset. The jewelry was left by Jasmine's mother. It's only right that your Uncle Jiang give it to Jasmine."
Jiang Qing's face showed sarcasm. "Even if it's Ruan Rou's heirloom, wasn't it Jiang Dahai who bought it? You've been here for so many years, serving them, father and son, tirelessly, but when has Jiang Dahai ever bought you a single piece of jewelry? In the final analysis, he never cared about you."
Li Hongying hesitated: "Don't say that about your Uncle Jiang. I'm a housewife. What's the point of wearing that thing? I can't eat or drink."
Jiang Qing was angry at Li Hongying's weakness and inferiority, and didn't want to say another word.
Anyway, Jiang Moli's good days will soon be over.
Be it jewelry, money or bills, Jiang Moli's stupid brain won't allow her to keep them even if she goes to the countryside.
She has nothing to be jealous of.
At night, Li Hongying suffered from insomnia, which was rare.
She originally thought she was quite happy. A rural woman with a child was able to marry a capable man like Jiang Dahai, go to the city to eat commercial grain, and no longer have to farm in the countryside. The women in the village envied her so much.
But her daughter's words made her feel very uncomfortable.
In addition to jewelry, Jiang Dahai also kept all the clothes that Ruan Rou had worn, the items she had used, the books she had read, and the letters she exchanged with Jiang Dahai when they were in love.
As a woman herself, how could she not envy her husband's love for his deceased wife?
She had lived with Jiang Dahai for so many years. Although Jiang Dahai treated her well in terms of food and drink, he never gave her the love a man should have for a woman, and they even had sex very rarely.
The more she thought about it, the more sad and aggrieved she felt, and Li Hongying couldn't help wiping away her tears.
……
After learning about Jiang Moli's family background and her notorious reputation, An Hui became furious with her husband:
"Lu Laoliu, Xiaocheng is a complete idiot, and you let him do whatever he wants. Are you hoping that I'll die of anger so you can get me into your family?"
"What are you talking about? Don't be so quick to scold me. I agreed to this marriage for Xiaocheng's own good."
"You're talking nonsense! You're getting him a wife with a bad reputation, letting him be criticized by thousands of people, and you're saying it's for his own good. I think you just can't bear to see him get along well!"
"Just listen to me first..."
Upstairs, Commissioner Liu and his family pricked up their ears.
