Chapter 324 70 The last wish of the cute father and daughter 5
"Captain, why can Gu Laoliu not go to work?" Wang Fugui, who was in the second team and was famous for his laziness like the original owner, was jealous.
Aunt Wang curled her lips and said, "He has a brother to support him, but you don't. You are not as lucky as him."
"Mom, he only has three brothers and I have seven sisters. Why don't I have a good life like him? My sisters are so good to me."
"Bullshit, if they were nice to you, you would be here shoveling snow. They are all ungrateful and money-losing people."
Wang Fugui strongly disagreed and said: "Mom, my sisters are not a waste of money. They are all married and have their own families to support. Why can't you remember? Don't say that next time. My sisters will be sad if they hear it."
When Aunt Wang saw that her son was angry, she shut up and dared not say anything.
The team leader was a little far away from them. What was it to others if their little six didn't work? They didn't get tired of talking about this every day.
It was Gu San's wife who was furious. If Gu Laoliu didn't go to work, he wouldn't have any work points. Since he had no work points, the three Gu brothers would have to give him all their food rations.
"Can you three brothers keep him in check? This is too much. A 25-year-old is hanging out with a bunch of kids. What can't he do?"
"We don't care about him," no matter that he had starved to death long ago, the captain wielded the shovel in his hand with great force.
Mrs. Gu was so angry that she almost smoked. "Did I say that you should take care of his food and drink?" Her voice was a little sharp. People around her looked at her inexplicably. Wasn't it tiring enough to remove the snow? And she was still in the mood to be angry?
The captain said nonchalantly: "What else? He has been in poor health since childhood and cannot do heavy work. If he gets sick from exhaustion, we will have to spend money on his treatment, so it is better to let him play."
"Do you think he's in poor health? Who can run as fast as a rabbit in the snow if he's in poor health?"
"He is not in good health, his legs are not broken, so why can't he run? Don't complain. If you don't want to go to work, you can go back and rest. I'm not forcing you to come to work."
With four people in their family earning work points, it was more than enough to support the family, so he really didn't care whether Zhao Pandi went to work or not.
But Zhao Pandi felt that the family could not do without her, and she would tell the four of them every day, "Without me supporting this family, you and your sons would have starved long ago."
Just rely on her six work points? Then they will really starve to death.
Zhao Pandi angrily threw away the shovel in her hand and said, "Do you think I am willing to go out to work in this cold weather? If it weren't for this family, would I have to work so hard to earn work points? You, the Gu family, are a bunch of heartless people."
The angry roar startled everyone. Aunt Qiu Ju said rudely, "Do you have any shame? You don't even earn as many work points as the educated youth. How can you support your family with your six work points? How dare you shout like that?"
"Aunt Pan Di, your six work points are not even enough for you to support your parents. If it weren't for the captain uncle supporting you, you would have died eight hundred times ago." Wu Goudan is the village's biggest gossip-eater. If there were entertainment reporters at this time, he would definitely be the target of the industry.
There was no news in the whole village that he could not dig up. Every year, Zhao Pandi sent all her work points back to her parents' home to support her eldest brother's family. She really did not leave a single cent for her own children. She lived on the work points of her children and the team leader.
Zhao Pandyi did it very secretly. Except for her family members, no one outside knew about it. But it was exposed by Wu Goudan.
The fire of gossip was ignited in the eyes of the onlookers, and someone encouraged Wu Goudan, "Tell us in detail."
"Don't listen to her nonsense," Zhao Pandi tried to stop Wu Goudan from speaking and threw a snowball at him.
This made Wu Goudan angry. He had not planned to explain in detail and had to save some face for the captain.
Today he had to say it, "According to reliable information I have gathered, Aunt Pan Di has been moving things to her natal family for the past fifteen years since she married Uncle Captain.
During the years of famine, she would rather let her own children starve than not send the food rations back to her mother's family for her eldest brother's children to eat. All her work points would be exchanged for food, and then she would send it back to her mother's family once a month to prevent the team leader and the children from eating the food she exchanged for her work points.
Spectators: ヽ(*。＞Д＜)o゜
What kind of extreme brother-supporting demon is this? The captain helps Gu Laoliu according to his own ability, providing help while ensuring that his own children are not hungry, and Gu Laoliu also sends things to their house, which is a give-and-take relationship.
Zhao Pandi is not happy about other people's give-and-take, so what should she say about her one-sided support for her brothers from her natal family?
So only Zhou officials are allowed to set fires, but ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps?
Everyone was talking at once, saying that Zhao Pandi shouldn't have done that.
"Pandi, how can you say you support the whole family?"
"Captain uncle is so unlucky to marry you."
The captain quietly withdrew from the crowd, fearing that he would be implicated. It was not that he did not want to protect his wife, but he simply did not have the desire to do so. He let her face it herself, and he supported her silently from behind.
Zhao Pandi was dumbfounded. She had been careful and cautious for more than ten years and always delivered food back to her parents' home in the middle of the night. She didn't expect to be seen by someone.
She couldn't argue with so many people alone, so she shook her head and waved her hands in guiltily denying it for a while. Seeing that everyone was still talking, she wanted to ask the captain for help, but then she found that he had left at some point.
Zhao Pandi's defenses collapsed instantly, and she threw in the towel, "I am the daughter of the Zhao family. The food I earned with my work points was originally given to the Zhao family. The child belongs to the Gu family, why should I raise him?"
Spectators: (○′?д?)?
Their three views were shocked, and they all silently lit a candle for the captain in their hearts. He married such a wife and lived with her for more than ten years. They really didn't know whether to praise him or criticize him.
They suddenly lost the desire to argue with her. Aunt Guihua said in a bored tone: "Go away, go away. It's so cold. Finish your work quickly and go home."
Everyone dispersed and returned to their own areas of responsibility, continuing to shovel snow.
This made Zhao Pandi at a loss. She seemed to want to say something, but without an audience, she couldn't continue speaking alone, so she had to bury her head in her work.
She felt a little uncomfortable when the matter that she had hidden for so many years was suddenly exposed. But, forget it, she wouldn't have to hide it anymore in the future. She could just send the food back whenever she wanted.
Aunt Gu went to the old house to have a heart-to-heart talk with the team leader. The mother and son sat cross-legged on the kang. There were two cups of steaming boiled water on the kang table. Aunt Gu looked at her third son with some disgust.
"What are you thinking? A couple can only live a good life if they are of one mind. Are you of one mind? You have gone your separate ways since the beginning of your marriage, and you didn't say a word. You coward.
It’s true that Zhao Pandi is a daughter of the Zhao family, and it’s also true that she helps her brother from her natal family, but shouldn’t she first consider her own family and her own children? "
"I don't want to say anything to her. After all, she is not my child. I just want to ask you, is it necessary to continue living like this?"
The captain lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking. After a while, he seemed to have figured it out, "Mom, if I divorce her, your four eldest grandchildren might follow them."
"Just go if you want to. Why keep these ungrateful wolves around and let them bite you back in the future?"
Their father worked very hard to raise them since they were young, but in the end they felt that their father was useless and not as good as their mother. Have they ever eaten a grain of rice from Zhao Pandi?
