Chapter 54 Jia Zhang Returns to the Countryside
After Jia Dongxu returned home, Jia Zhangshi immediately asked, "Dongxu, how is it going? Did that little bastard agree?"
Jia Dongxu glanced at Jia Zhangshi and said, "I agree. I will send you back to the countryside in five days."
After hearing this, Jia Zhang felt relieved and started to live her heartless life again, as if nothing had happened.
After Yi Zhonghai returned to the house, the aunt asked, "How is it going? Have you discussed it?" "Yes, we have discussed it. We will send Jia Zhang back to the countryside in five days."
The first lady said, "That's good, that's good. Don't make trouble in the courtyard anymore. You are involved in this matter. If she really doesn't come back, you and Dongxu will be too ashamed to see anyone in the future."
"Yes, I told her that if she doesn't come back, I will no longer care about her Jia family's affairs. But she has to pay Dongxu fifteen yuan a month to go back to the countryside, and Dongxu's family is having a hard time."
"Fifteen dollars, that's a lot. How can she afford so much by herself?"
"This old woman said she needed to take medicine and save money for retirement, but she didn't think about how Dongxu would live with the three of them. Now you can't buy things just by having money. Without tickets, how can Dongxu get enough food for three people? But it's good that Jia Zhangshi went back, because she alone would have to eat the food for three people."
After hearing this, the aunt sighed and said, "Let's wait and see. If it really doesn't work out, you can just send some food over every month. You still have to make ends meet."
"Okay, I understand. It will be easier once Dongxu passes the exam."
Everyone in the courtyard was waiting to see the show, but apart from hearing the Jia family howling a few times, there was no other sound. They were all puzzled. After coming back from jail, Jia Zhang had changed her temper. She would go to the He family and block the door to curse them like before, but why was she so silent this time? It seemed that she was scared by Jiang Feng this time.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day. During these days, Jia Zhang knew that she was not welcome, so she went to the yard less often. Jia Dongxu also knew that he had to send her back. During these days, he asked Qin Huairu to buy meat several times. Although it was not much, meat tickets were also an expense. By borrowing and buying meat from others, Jia Zhang's life was still good during these days.
At this time, Qin Huairu was already packing up her things. They were all the things that Jia Zhang said she wanted to take away. She packed a big bag and was going to take it back to the countryside. Jia Zhang was originally from the countryside, but she hadn't been back for many years. The relatives of the old Jia family had come to the city several times since the old Jia came, but with Jia Zhang's personality, she disliked country people in every way and had offended them all a long time ago. This time she was going back to Zhangjia Village, Jia Zhang's mother's hometown.
After Qin Huairu packed up her things, only her bedding was not packed. If she stayed one more night, she would still have time to pack up tomorrow morning. Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, go out first. Mom will get some things."
Qin Huairu nodded and left the inner room. After sitting in the hall for a while, he heard Jia Zhang start to curse. Qin Huairu ran in immediately. Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu coming in and grabbed Qin Huairu and asked, "Did you steal my money? My pension money is gone."
Qin Huairu saw this and quickly said, "Mom, I don't even know where your money is. How can I steal your money? How much money did you lose?"
"One hundred and thirty yuan, all gone, all gone. Has anyone come to my house? I worked so hard to save up some money for my retirement. How can I live like this? Old Jia, please come back soon..."
This time, before she finished shouting, Qin Huairu interrupted Jia Zhangshi's voice and said, "Mom, have you forgotten that Dongxu came back to get the money last time he went to open a letter of apology?"
"Yes, that's right. I asked Dongxu to come and get it, but I only asked him to take the 100 yuan one. There are still 30 yuan left. Did you take it, you little bitch? Tell me."
"No, I paid him two hundred yuan last time. Dongxu went to borrow some money from an old man if it wasn't enough. You'll know when Dongxu comes back and ask him. I don't even know where your money is." After saying that, Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhang with a guilty conscience. When Jia Zhang heard that she had to pay two hundred yuan, she remembered that Jia Dongxu had mentioned it at that time, but she had selectively forgotten it.
"Okay, I get it. I'll ask Dongxu when he comes back. If you took it, I'll teach you a lesson. Get out now."
After hearing this, Qin Huairu hurried out, her heart still pounding. She had to stop Dongxu and explain things to him clearly. Otherwise, if that old woman knew that she was arguing over the thirty yuan, she would definitely find a way to get it back, and she would not be able to live at home anymore.
When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu walk out, she took out the money in her arms and counted it again. There were only more than 300 yuan left. Jia Zhang firmly believed that eggs should not be put in one basket, so she hid the money in the house in several places. Now there is only this little money left in total. There is the pension from Old Jia and the money that Jia Dongxu paid from work. She has only saved more than 500 yuan over the years, and now there is 130 yuan less. Jia Zhang felt heartbroken and thought about it. She didn't know what the situation would be when she returned to the countryside, so she couldn't take all the money with her. She took out another 200 yuan, fumbled around on a brick at the head of the bed, and took out a small iron box. She opened the iron box and put the 200 yuan in it. There was also a gold ring inside. Jia Zhang stroked the gold ring with a smile on her face. This ring was bought for her by Old Jia and it was the only thing left by Old Jia.
After thinking for a while, Jia Zhang put the money and the ring into the iron box and stuffed it at the head of the bed. It should be enough for her with more than 100 yuan on her. Anyway, her son would come to see her again, so she would make up for it if the money was not enough.
Qin Huairu estimated the time and started cooking. She had to go earlier today so she couldn't wait for Jia Dongxu to come in and stop him outside. When the food was ready, Qin Huairu put it in the kitchen. She stuck her head out and looked. She heard snoring from the inner room again. Qin Huairu sighed, thinking that she would be gone tomorrow. She felt a little excited in her heart. She had such a mother-in-law who could eat and sleep well, and was very stingy with her money. She was always looking for trouble all day long. She would feel much more comfortable every day after she left.
Qin Huairu looked at the time, walked to the window and looked outside. At this time, some people who were off work had already walked in. After a while, Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu walked in. Qin Huairu did not go out either. He waited until the two separated, stopped Jia Dongxu at the door, told Jia Dongxu what happened in the afternoon, and Jia Dongxu nodded. After the two entered the house, Jia Dongxu went to the inner room, and Qin Huairu went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
After Jia Dongxu entered the room, he woke up Jia Zhangshi. When Jia Zhangshi saw Jia Dongxu, she asked, "Dongxu, did you take the 130 yuan I gave you last time?"
"Yes, didn't you tell me that? I came back and it wasn't enough, so I borrowed another seventy from someone."
"Didn't I tell you that you can only take 100 yuan, and you have to figure out the rest yourself? What about the remaining 30 yuan?"
Jia Dongxu had been holding back his anger at home for the past few days. After hearing this, he yelled at Jia Zhang: "Find a solution, no matter how you try, you don't even think about it. All the money in the family is in your hands. I only keep five dollars for Huairu's groceries out of my monthly salary. All the money is in your hands. How can I find a solution? You obviously have the money, but you still want me to find a solution. Is your money more important or me?"
This was the first time Jia Zhang was yelled at by Jia Dongxu. She froze in shock. When she came to her senses, she slapped her thighs with both hands. Before she opened her mouth, Jia Dongxu said, "It's time to eat. If you don't want to eat, just keep howling in the room."
Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu's cold face, retracted her big move, and thought to herself: Money must be important. My son is not obedient anymore and has never yelled at me before.
But he was not slow, he stood up and walked out. Jia Dongxu saw that Jia Zhang had shut up, so he didn't say anything and followed her out. Qin Huairu had already brought the dishes to the table, and Bang Geng had already started eating. No one spoke, they just sat around the table and ate in silence.
The next day, after Jia Dongxu got up, the family had breakfast together. Seeing that it was almost time, he carried the package he had packed yesterday and urged Jia Zhang to go out. He would not go to work today. He had already agreed with Yi Zhonghai yesterday to help him take leave today.
Jia Zhang walked out of the house reluctantly, and shouted to the inside as she walked: "Banggeng, grandma is leaving, you must remember grandma, don't forget her."
At this time, Banggeng was sleeping soundly and would not get up so early. After the two of them walked out of the courtyard, they went to the station. They had to go to the station to take a bus to go back to the countryside. They didn't say a word along the way. It took them almost an hour to arrive at the station. Jia Dongxu took Jia Zhangshi on the bus and waited for the conductor to come. They showed the letter of introduction that had been issued long ago and bought two tickets for 20 cents each. Jia Zhangshi looked at Jia Dongxu with a gloomy face all the way and didn't say a word.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the car left. Only then did Jia Zhang realize that she really had to go back. She couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She pulled Jia Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, you have to come pick me up earlier. I don't know if I can survive in the countryside."
Seeing Jia Zhang crying like a child, Jia Dongxu's heart softened: "Mom, don't worry about living there. I will go back to see you when I am free. You have to take care of yourself. I will bring you money every month."
After hearing Jia Dongxu's comfort, Jia Zhang felt a little better and remembered some people from her rural hometown. However, her memory was a little fuzzy. She hadn't been back for a long time. But she still had a brother in her hometown, so she could only go to find her brother when she went back.
The car was bumpy all the way, and Jia Zhang fell asleep while thinking. She didn't wake up until Jia Dongxu called her. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene outside the window, Jia Zhang's eyes showed a hint of fear. Jia Dongxu had already picked up his things and stood up. After the car stopped, he pulled Jia Zhang out of the car, and based on his past memory, he slowly walked towards Zhangjia Village.
