Chapter 83

Sister-in-law Zhong sighed and said, "Why didn't you make a fuss. The commotion was so big that even the police were alerted. The police took the rat poison seller to the hospital and asked him to identify who bought the rat poison. Recognize our dad.

"My dad bought the rat poison himself, and he drank it. The police told Zhao Yin that they were not allowed to falsely accuse her neighbors or harass her neighbors, otherwise they would arrest her. honest."

"No?" Song Zhaodi didn't believe it. "It's not like my cousin's style."

Sister-in-law Zhong had an embarrassed expression on her face.

Zhong Jianguo pushed Song Zhaodi.

Song Zhaodi asked: "Sister-in-law, there are no outsiders here. Is there anything you can't tell me and Jianguo? You are our closest relatives."

"I don't have the face to tell you." Sister-in-law Zhong remembered what happened in the past few days, and her head buzzed, "Zhao Yin asked her neighbor to lose money, but your eldest brother stopped him, and Zhao Yin asked your eldest brother for money. "

Zhong Jianguo affirmed: "Brother gave it."

"Your eldest brother didn't give it." Sister Zhong said, "We paid the money for our father's cremation and the urn. Zhao Yin said that when our father died, our family had to give her fifty yuan every year. Your brother agreed."

Zhong Jianguo frowned, his expression unchanged: "Why?"

"I asked your brother the same thing." Sister Zhong said, "Your brother said that Zhao Yin will retire next year, we have no land here, Zhong Shengli is not married, and there is no job at home. She moves a bench every day and sits at our door. Swear, our days will not be over."

Song Zhaodi continued: "My cousin is an elder. The revolutionary committee can't handle things like elders scolding juniors. Neither can the police. Unless the eldest brother's family moves."

"Your eldest brother said the same thing." Sister-in-law Zhong said these embarrassing things, her eyes were red, "My mother and father were afraid of Zhao Yin's trouble, so I came over yesterday, and when I heard about it, I told me, and said no. Give Zhao Yin money.

"If Zhao Yin scolds us, my mother will come and scold Zhao Yin. Your eldest brother doesn't agree, so tell my mother it's settled. I don't want to tell you."

Zhong Jianguo's father died, and Zhong Jianguo would not give Zhao Yin any more money. Don't tell Zhong Jianguo? Zhong Jianguo understands: "Brother means that the fifty dollars will be paid by you?"

"Sister-in-law, we will pay for the money." Song Zhaodi said without waiting for her to speak, "Jianguo and I have high wages, and our children are still young, so we don't need much money."

Sister-in-law Zhong shook her head: "No, no. I'm telling you about this, I hope Jianguo can think of a way to make Zhao Yin shut up even if he doesn't give money."

"Sister-in-law, there's no way to do this." Song Zhaodi said, "Zhao Yin's background is innocent and her roots are red, so she can't make a fuss about her background. Zhong Shengli took his father's class, as far as I know, this is normal. Many cadres have served for 30 years, and the unit will give them a place, and they can arrange their children in it."

Zhong Jianguo nodded: "Zhao Di is right."

"Then we can only admit it?" Sister-in-law Zhong was unwilling.

Zhong Dawa tugged Song Zhaodi's sleeve twice: "Mother, don't give me money."

"None of us want to give it." Song Zhaodi patted his head, "I'll go to Grandpa's house later, don't snicker."

Zhong Jianguo: "It's already here." Pointing to the tube tower in front of him.

Sister-in-law Zhong raised her head and patted Song Zhaodi's arm quickly: "The one in front is Zhao Yin's daughter."

Song Zhaodi followed her fingers and saw that a man and a woman led three children inside, the man was about 1.7 meters tall, the woman was about the same height as the man, the eldest child was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest child was seven or eight years old. The appearance of: "We deliberately made a circle to come so late, why did they come so late?"

"The old man and Zhao Yin went to her house. She broke her leg on the way back. She didn't mention the medical expenses. It would be good to be here today." Sister-in-law Zhong said, "I guess it was she who urged Zhao Yin to ask us for money. "

Song Zhaodi tutted: "It's really unconscionable, and I'm not afraid of being punished by heaven."

"It's already happened." Sister-in-law Zhong said, "the eldest son is a little stupid, he is twelve years old and still in the first grade. The second is a daughter, I don't know what it is, I haven't heard Zhao Yin mention it to her neighbors. The youngest three Sick at both ends of the day."

Song Zhaodi opened her mouth and couldn't believe it: "Why don't you do something good and accumulate virtue for your family?"

"If she can think of this and Zhao Yin asks us for money, she will stop her mother." Sister-in-law Zhong said, "Zhao Yin loves her daughter the most, and sometimes she has to stand aside when she wins."

Song Zhaodi: "I have always had doubts, but every time I wanted to ask, I forgot to ask. I heard from my mother that Zhao Yin's original husband died, and she married into our family. How could someone from her ex-husband's family be? Agree with her to remarry with her daughter?"

"At that time, the civil war was not over yet, the society was not as strict as it is now, and nothing was allowed to be done." Sister Zhong said, "I heard from my mother that people often died at that time, and I took care of myself, and no one cared about Zhao Yin. Who to marry. Besides, what she took away was a daughter, not a son, and the family would like to raise one less person. "

Song Zhaodi thought for a while: "You mean Zhao Yin has had a son?"

"Your mother didn't say anything?" Sister-in-law Zhong asked.

Song Zhaodi: "My cousin, all the relatives in our family don't bother to mention her."

"I don't know either. My mother said that Zhao Yin gave birth to two sons to that family." Sister-in-law Zhong said, "The daughter she took away is the eldest, and the two sons are about the same age as your brother and Jianguo."

Song Zhaodi was curious: "sister-in-law, let's not go upstairs first. Tell me, why is your mother so clear?"

"When I married Wei Guo, my mother and my father asked someone to inquire about the Zhong family, and we heard about it." Sister Zhong said, "My brother disagreed, saying that the situation in the Zhong family was too complicated. My mother told me, Don't be afraid, if Zhao Yin dares to bully me, she will bring my aunt and aunt to beat Zhao Yin."

Zhong Jianguo turned his head to look at Song Zhaodi: "Why are you holding back?"

"You're just holding back your pregnancy." Song Zhaodi glared at him and said to Sister-in-law Zhong, "Sister-in-law, ask your brother to go to my cousin's ex-husband's village, and tell the people in their village that our family will pay you a monthly fee. My cousin is fifty yuan. My cousin still has a retirement salary."

Sister-in-law Zhong wanted to ask what it meant, but when she thought that Zhao Yin was pestering them like a leech, it was Qian who was making trouble: "This, this is not good?"

"She's in the first year of the first year, and we're in the fifteenth year. There's nothing wrong with it." Song Zhaodi said, "If you are kind to her, she won't be grateful to us, and she will think that we are stupid and have a lot of money."

Sister-in-law Zhong saw Zhao Yin's two grandsons like that, and never dared to do anything wrong: "I'll go back and ask my parents."

"Okay." Song Zhaodi and Zhong Jianguo have high salaries, and giving Zhao Yin 50 yuan a year is nothing to them, she just doesn't want Zhao Yin to be cheap.

If Sister-in-law Zhong is unwilling, Song Zhaodi does not want to force it either. For fifty dollars, it is not Song Zhaodi's original intention to force Sister-in-law Zhong to do what she is unwilling to do.

Approaching the door of Zhong's house, Song Zhaodi did not forget to turn around and instruct the children, "Please hold back when you go in, and don't laugh."

"Mother, we know." Zhong Dawa pushed her, "Go, go, come in quickly."

Sister-in-law Zhong turned back and said, "I can't stand in the room."

"Then I'll take a few children outside." Song Zhaodi picked it up very quickly, "You and Jianguo go in."

Song Zhaodi had an impression of this cake building. When the original owner came, it was also at this time that everyone in the cake building was cooking, and the whole corridor was full of fireworks.

Today is the same, the person opposite Zhong's house is cooking on the stove. Seeing Song Zhaodi look at her, she nodded and smiled subconsciously. She glanced at the black armband on her sleeve, realized it shouldn't, and said, "Are you Jianguo's daughter-in-law?"

"Yes." Song Zhaodi glanced at the room, and when she saw that it was full of people, she turned around and asked the woman who was cooking, "Who is there?"

The woman was stunned: "You don't know? No, you don't know?"

"I only know my eldest brother and my cousin's family." Song Zhaodi said, "Jian Guo's stepmother is my cousin."

The woman nodded: "I know this, Victory's mother said it. You married Jianguo, and she didn't lead you to know any relatives?"

"My cousin doesn't like me, and I don't like her either. We hate each other." Song Zhaodi was afraid of recruiting Zhao Yin, so she walked up to the woman and whispered, "She's so careless, so she's not afraid that she won't win. daughter in law?"

The woman hated Zhao Yin very much, and seeing that Song Zhaodi didn't like it either, she said: "She and Shengli have jobs, and there are no elderly people to support at home. With such good conditions, girls in the city are reluctant to marry, so they go to the countryside to find a wife, and want to choose Anything can be picked. As long as she can afford food stamps, oil stamps and cloth stamps."

"No wonder." Song Zhaodi glanced at the room and heard someone mentioning the time, "Is it important to bury the dead here?"

The woman also heard the words in the opposite room: "Before twelve o'clock. It is almost eleven o'clock now, and I will go to the cemetery in a while." The voice fell, Zhong Jianguo held the photo, and Zhong Weiguo came out holding the urn.

Song Zhaodi quickly waved to the children and whispered, "Follow behind your aunt, hold hands, and don't get lost."

"Mother, we know." Erwa was curious, "Grandpa is in that box?"

Song Zhaodi nodded: "Don't talk, just follow." Holding the second baby in one hand and the third baby in the other, he followed the army downstairs. At the intersection, Song Zhaodi was stopped by Sister Zhong.

Song Zhaodi wondered, "Aren't you going?"

"We women can only be sent here." Sister-in-law Zhong said, "The rules here are that only men can go to bury the dead."

Song Zhaodi really didn't know this rule, and she didn't move forward when she saw Zhao Yin, "Then let's go home now?"

"I was going to her house for dinner." Sister-in-law Zhong pointed to sitting on the ground not far away, opened her throat, and cried with snot and tears, "We don't leave, she can cry until the afternoon."

Self-sufficient curiosity: "Why?"

"I don't want to take care of the meal." Sister Zhong said, "Xiao Song, let's go home and cook, and we'll eat at our house later."

Song Zhaodi nodded and walked a distance before saying, "How does this make it seem like a child is playing a house today?"

"Although it's not allowed to burn paper or set off firecrackers, it's not as quiet as her home." Sister Zhong said, "People who don't know think that there is something wrong with the composition of our home, so they bury people secretly, and dare not disturb their neighbors. ."

Song Zhaodi was curious: "Then why is it so quiet? I counted it just now, plus the three Jianguo brothers, there are only eight adult men. There are only so many people in our Zhong family?"
