Chapter 577 Mom, You Should Go to the Countryside or Remarry

Chapter 577 Mom, Go Back to the Countryside or Remarry
"Thank you, Auntie One, Auntie Three, and everyone else. If it weren't for your help, my wife would be in danger."

"I'd like to thank you all here." As he said this, Jia Dongxu bowed deeply to the women.

"We are all neighbors, there is no need to be so polite."

"Yes, they are all in the same yard."

Everyone spoke up, but still accepted the bow calmly.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was rescued, everyone decided not to stay any longer and went home.

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu lying on the hospital bed, then at her slightly bulging belly, wondering what he was thinking.

Jia Zhang hid outside the ward, cautiously sticking her head inside, not daring to step into the ward at all.

When she saw Jia Dongxu turned his head to look at her, she immediately shrank back and ran to sit on the bench outside the ward.

"Hmm~" Qin Huairu, who was in a coma, woke up slowly.

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Wife, are you okay?"

The blurry scene in front of Qin Huairu gradually became clear, and she saw the anxious Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu."

"I'm here, I'm here." Jia Dongxu immediately held her hand tightly.

"My child~"

"The child is still here and is fine, don't worry." Jia Dongxu didn't dare to say anything about the child's brain problem.

"That's good." Qin Huairu placed her hands gently on her belly, her eyelids tightly closed, and she trembled slightly.

After a while, I opened my eyes again and felt better.

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu's miserable appearance and said, "Wife, what do you want to do to our mother? I will listen to you and do whatever you say."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu wanted to drive Jia Zhang away, but she didn't want to lose such a free and hardworking nanny.

Caught in a dilemma for a moment, Qin Huairu had to turn her head away and said nothing.

But seeing her like this, Jia Dongxu felt that he must punish Jia Zhang severely this time to vent Qin Huairu's anger.

"I think we should send our mother to the countryside to teach her a lesson."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up. This was a good idea, and she nodded slightly.

Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up. As long as Qin Huairu was happy, the baby in her belly must be kept.

"Come in!" Jia Dongxu shouted towards the door.

Jia Zhang was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She crawled in with her head lowered, not daring to look up at Qin Huairu.

"Hmph! Look at what you've done. You've got so much to do every day. You never have a day off."

"I see you are so energetic, why don't you remarry?"

boom!
"Remarry? No, no, I can't get married at my age. Dongxu, I raised you, you can't abandon your mother!"

"What have I done wrong? You said I would definitely change. It would be better to kill my mother than to ask her to remarry."

Jia Zhang immediately knelt down and burst into tears. Jia Dongxu did not expect Jia Zhang's reaction to be so strong.

nonsense!

Jia Zhang had worked hard for more than twenty years and finally the time had come for her to reap the rewards, but now she was asked to remarry.

So whose family is she from? Her new husband's family or the Jia family?

Once you get married, you have to start all over again and have to work. You may even have to endure the cold words from your children and the gossip from your neighbors.

This is not remarriage for her, it's living young and becoming someone else's granddaughter.

Seeing that the situation was a little off, Jia Dongxu immediately changed his words.

"It's not impossible to remarry. Since you have so much free time, the countryside is harvesting autumn crops. You can go back and take a look. After the harvest, you can bring back some food."

Jia Zhang begged for mercy: "Dongxu, I didn't mean it. I was thinking about our family."

"Please don't chase me away. I don't want to go back to the countryside. It's too tiring here. I can't stand it at my age."

She knew how tiring the autumn harvest was, and she wondered how he could endure it at his age.

Besides, if she went back to the countryside and no one took her back, she would have to stay there all her life, lonely and helpless.

I would rather sleep on the streets in the city than go back to the countryside.

Jia Dongxu snorted coldly, his face grim: "Not going back? It's not up to you now. Look at what you have done. You can push Huairu today, who knows what you can do tomorrow!"

Seeing that Jia Dongxu couldn't get what he wanted, Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu.

"Good daughter-in-law, please say a few words for me. You can do whatever you want to me, even if you want to beat me, but please don't let me go back to the countryside."

Qin Huairu tilted her head and closed her eyes, as if she had never heard anything.

Jia Dongxu continued, "Why? What I said is useless, right? Go back and pack your things. Leave tomorrow and bring back the food when the autumn harvest is over."

"If you keep talking nonsense, you won't wait until the autumn harvest and come back next year."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Zhang immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Dongxu. When did he become so brave? If he had been so brave before, there wouldn't have been so many problems.

However, she had made up her mind that if Jia Zhang came back during the Autumn Harvest, she would let her stay until next year, and when she gave birth, she would send Jia Zhang back to the countryside.

Her free babysitting job ended here. She would rather suffer a little more and be more tired than have an old woman living under her head.

With her head lowered, Jia Zhang wanted to struggle again: "Dongxu, if I go to the countryside, what will happen if no one takes care of Banggeng and Xiaodang at home?"

Jia Dongxu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about that. I'll ask an aunt to take care of her for two days when I get back."

"When Huairu recovers, she will be able to take care of Banggeng and Xiaodang by herself."

Seeing that there was no chance at all, Jia Zhang could not think of any other solution.

After all, she was his mother, so Jia Dongxu said hypocritically: "Mom, go back to the countryside and do a good job. When you are done, I promise to bring you back. Remember to bring the money with you."

"You know the situation in our family. We have so many mouths to feed and so much food to eat. You can go to the countryside to collect food and bring back some."

Jia Zhang no longer cared about what Jia Dongxu said. She was thinking about what to bring back to the countryside and how to prepare to live there permanently.

There is nothing in the countryside, so you have to pack well and bring enough supplies, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.

The next day, early in the morning.

After making breakfast for Jia Dongxu, Jia Zhang packed two bags of things and carried them out.

He walked away amid the puzzled gazes of the people in the yard.

"Now that Jia Zhang is gone, we can rest in our yard again."

"Yes, our yard has never been peaceful since Jia Zhang came back."

"It's better to leave, but it's better not to come back."

"I don't think this is going to happen. Let's just enjoy the time when Jia Zhang is away."

"Hmm~" Everyone nodded involuntarily.

"It's so heavy!" Jia Zhang was carrying a bag filled with pots, pans, and a set of sheets and quilt covers.

The last time I went back, the condition of my home was really unbearable. If it weren’t for the public canteen, I wouldn’t have to wash vegetables and cook, which would have saved a lot of trouble.

Now that I'm going back, there are a lot of things to do, so I have to bring enough things with me.

Take the earliest bus.

Two hours later, Jia Zhang arrived at Zhangjia Village.

After walking for a long time, Jia Zhang finally arrived at her house. It felt like a lifetime ago.

"It's only been a short time since I last came here, and already so much grass has grown. It's almost as tall as me!"

"The neighbor next door is really something. Seeing how tall my grass is, he didn't even come over to help clean it up."

"These neighbors are just no good. They are not as good as those in the city. They don't know how to help each other at all."

After complaining, Jia Zhang walked into the house with a look of disgust on her face.

The house was in the same condition as when I first arrived, dilapidated and dusty.

squeak-

Jia Zhang gently pushed open the door, which made a shrill sound.

The door opened and dust flew up.
The long-lost sun shone into the room, and the room suddenly became brighter.

All the wooden furniture, including tables, chairs and benches, looked tattered, with some small weeds growing in the corners.

"Well, clean up. We need to finish it early. We have to sleep here tonight."

Without Bang Geng, Jia Zhang had to clean up the house by herself, which was a huge task.

Jia Zhang's busy figure was immediately seen by many people.

"Look, who's back? Zhang Cuihua, the Zhang Cuihua we kicked out last year."

"Zhang Cuihua! She dares to come back. She wants to come back and eat for free, right?"

"I think so. He must have returned home because he couldn't make it in the city anymore."

"Bah! What a jerk! She can't make it in the city anymore, so she comes back to the countryside to steal our food. We don't give her any!"

"That's right. Seeing that we were about to harvest, she came back to steal our food. We don't usually see her here, but now that she knows that the harvest is coming, she has come back."

"Suck the blood onto our heads?"

Everyone guessed what Jia Zhang was thinking with just a few words.

When passing by Jia Zhang, he would gossip about her intentionally or unintentionally.

But even if Jia Zhang heard it, she didn't care much. She was busy cleaning up.

I haven't been back for nearly a year. My house is so dirty that I can't live here any more. If I don't clean it up soon, I won't be able to sleep at night.

"Village Chief, Zhang Cuihua is back."

"Who? Who's back?"

"Zhang Cuihua."

"It's her again. Why is she back again?"

"Maybe he came for food."

When Jia Zhang came back, some villagers reported it to the village chief immediately.

It was he who had called a few people to drive Jia Zhang away. When the village chief heard the villagers' speculations and suspicions, he thought it made sense.

Now, it is not just Jia Zhang who has returned to the village. They all have the same attitude, but Village Chief Zhang did not drive them back.

Why not take such free labor?

"Keep it for now, until I find time to see what she means."

The villagers nodded and went back to work.

Now is the autumn harvest time, and there is a lot to do.

After working hard for most of the day, Jia Zhang finally managed to clean up the house. It wasn't spotlessly clean, but at least there was no particularly dirty place to be seen.

"Phew, I'm so tired. This job is more tiring than what I did in the city."

Jia Zhang sat on the stool and gasped for breath.

Guji guji~
Jia Zhang touched her rumbling stomach and took out the dry food she had prepared early in the morning from the two bags.

Not caring about how cold and hard it was, he ate it in just a few mouthfuls with some water and then continued to work.

Take out the things in the two big bags one by one, including firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, more than ten pounds of coarse grains, pots, pans, and other things, and put them all in place.

There were so many things that it was like moving house. Jia Zhang knew that she was a bad person, so she made the preparations herself and did not need to borrow things from others.

The last time I came back, there were a lot of things missing at home, so Jia Zhang brought them here directly in case Jia Dongxu refused to take her back.

Jia Zhang brought so many things to the countryside. When Jia Dongxu came home to cook and saw them, he cursed Jia Zhang as a good-for-nothing and took away half of the things in the house.

"By the way, there's also this."

Jia Zhang carefully opened her coat and took out a stack of small coins from her innermost clothes.

The amounts varied, from a few cents to big black coins, all adding up to about 30 yuan.

Jia Zhang not only took her own money, but also took some of Qin Huairu's money from her family.

"The money is still there, let's hide it quickly, we can't lose it."

Jia Zhang was a cunning man who had three burrows. He divided his money into three parts, carried one part with him, and hid the other two parts in corners of the house.

"I don't believe that anyone can find it." Jia Zhang looked at the hiding place with confidence, clapped her hands and looked out the window to make sure no one saw it.

After all, it's their own home, how can it be hidden too deeply? Jia Zhang knows it clearly.

“Cook, cook!”

As the sky gradually darkened, Jia Zhang packed up and started cooking.

It was not until the evening, when Village Chief Zhang had finished his village affairs, that he had time to look for Jia Zhang.

"Zhang Cuihua!"

Village chief Zhang kicked open the creaking wooden door and walked in with big strides.

"Village headman."

When she saw him, Jia Zhang was like a mouse seeing a cat. She was the one who was driven away by him in the first place.

The village chief came in and looked around to see that the house had been cleaned. It was obvious that Jia Zhang would not be going back for a while.

The village chief didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Zhang Cuihua, what are you doing back this time?"

"I... I miss home and want to stay here for some time."

"Don't you think this is funny? Come on, stop playing tricks on me and tell me the truth. What did you come back for?"

"You don't have to tell me. Just leave the same way you left at the beginning. You will leave the same way tomorrow."

After saying this, the village chief just stared at Jia Zhang.

Being in a high position for more than ten years was not something that a shrew like Jia Zhang could endure.

Not long after, Jia Zhangshi said like a potato: "I, I, there is no food at home, I came back to get food and stay for a few days."

"Wait until the autumn harvest and then go back. Village chief, I won't come here in vain. I will work. I will work tomorrow morning. Don't worry."

The village chief looked at Jia Zhang's trembling expression and didn't think she was faking it.

"Work? It's almost harvest time, and you're just thinking about coming back to work. How could you possibly get such a good opportunity? You're just wishful thinking if you want to take advantage of the government."

Jia Zhang quickly defended herself: "I didn't take advantage of you for nothing. I paid for it. I could always buy centimeters with money before."

"I spend money!"

"You're spending money?" The village chief looked Jia Zhang up and down, somewhat unbelievably. She didn't mention this last year, thinking of eating for free.

It is normal to spend money to buy centimeters. Now everyone would rather spend money to buy centimeters. When they can exchange them for food, they will make a lot of money.

People like Jia Zhang, who live in the city, usually do not go to the countryside to work, and choose to spend money to buy centimeters during the autumn harvest.

In the past, we would only start settling accounts at the end of the year, but now there is no time at all. We all want to get the food as soon as possible.

"It's not impossible to spend money. How much can you spend?"

Jia Zhang hesitated for a long time and finally quoted: "1015."

"15 yuan, not a small amount." The village chief murmured.

Many villagers work hard from the beginning of the year to the end of the year and only earn more than 30 yuan. Jia Zhang directly spent half of the money to buy centimeters, which was not a small amount.

But now the harvest is poor, and the food that can be exchanged for these 15 yuan is definitely less than before, but it is better than nothing.

Seeing this, the village chief also understood the purpose of Jia Zhang's return.

"Okay, I know what you're doing. Remember to go to the fields to work tomorrow morning. Don't think about being lazy, and don't think you can avoid working by paying for centimeters."

"If you don't work, no matter how much money you spend, it's useless. I still won't buy you centimeters."

Jia Zhang was so frightened that she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

After the matter was settled, the village chief turned around and left. Although Jia Zhang was old and frail, she was still a laborer and could be used as long as she could.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about any problems of Jia Zhang before the autumn harvest. She can solve any problems she needs herself.
