Chapter 29: Finding Out
Seeing that Old Man Yun hadn't arrived home in a daze, Gu Shinian's face looked better.
When things came to this point, everyone could see that Gu Shinian's purpose was not only to ask Xu Dalan to apologize, but also to apologize to the people of the old Wang family for Yun Dachuan's death.
Old Man Wang's words that seemed to be soft before were just fooling Old Man Yun.
The old Wang family had neither the attitude of asking for help, nor the sincerity of apologizing. Otherwise, Old Man Wang would not only talk about Xu Dalan, but he would never mention that Old Lady Wang was a demon behind her back.
Old Man Yun also thought of this, so he kicked the ball again and looked back at Shi Nian's hand, not answering Old Man Wang's words.
Old Man Wang's face darkened.
After thinking about it, he simply squatted beside Old Man Yun and said with a look of confidence:
"My family, what happened to Dachuan that year...... It's our old Wang family who owes your family a saying, blame my old woman for this, if she hadn't been a demon behind her back, Dachuan wouldn't have had an accident, and my daughter wouldn't have become a widow.
My daughter broke off her relationship with her mother's family, and I don't feel good about it. Let's not say anything else, just for the sake of my daughter's face, for the sake of the girl's face, let's get through this matter today......"
"Flutter!"
Someone sneered, Yun Sheng glanced back, and the person who laughed was Aunt Li, who was watching the excitement.
"Tsk! I didn't see that Old Man Wang was old, and he was still a person who pitied his mother-in-law. ”
Aunt Li's words made Old Man Wang immediately shut up, and even his neck turned red.
Old man Wang kept saying that what happened back then was Mrs. Wang's fault, but Mrs. Wang was sitting next to him, but he didn't mention a word to ask Mrs. Wang to come over and apologize, isn't this pity for the mother-in-law?
The old couple of the Wang family are in their sixties, and when Aunt Li said this, their faces immediately turned red.
Old Mrs. Wang also saw the form clearly at this time, knowing that Gu Shinian was a person that their family could not afford to provoke, and seeing that the old man was whispering for her and the people of the old Yun family, and then thinking that her favorite little girl did not recognize her, she felt uncomfortable for a while, and cried when she covered her face.
"It's all my sin, it's my fault that I hurt the flowers, if it weren't for me, Dachuan wouldn't have gone up the mountain in the middle of the night, and my flowers wouldn't have become widows, it's all my ......."
As soon as Mrs. Wang cried, the old lady Yun on the side couldn't help it, leaned on Yun Shuilian, and shouted Yun Dachuan's name mournfully.
After the boss of the Wang family and Yun Erchuan pulled each other into the village, the old village chief knocked on the cigarette bag, pulled the old branch secretary and talked a few words in a low voice, and finally won a pound of cotton, two rulers, and a pair of shoe soles from the old Wang family for Yun Shang, and the matter was over.
Mrs. Wang came over today and didn't see Widow Wang, and she had been thinking about it for a long time, but seeing that the matter was almost over at this time, she quickly found an opportunity and asked Yunshang:
"Girl, what's wrong with your mother? What's going on? Is the disease serious? Did you see the doctor? ”
Yunshang really didn't want to see Mrs. Wang, with a small face, she replied coldly:
"Look, I'm going to sleep at home now."
"What did the doctor say? No, I've got to go see the flowers......"
"My mom said she didn't want to see your family."
Yunsheng's words made Mrs. Wang pause in place, until Old Man Wang pulled the old lady by the hand, and the family helped each other to leave Xinglin Village.
Old Man Yun sent away the Yun family first, walked over and touched Yun Shang's head, looked at Gu Shinian and said:
"Baby, thank you for today's events. Come to the house for dinner in the evening, and I will ask Yunshang and her milk to make you something to eat. ”
Seeing that Gu Shinian nodded in response, Old Man Yun smiled happily:
"Okay, I'll ask her aunt to come and pick you up at night! Alright, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house. ”
After Old Man Yun left, the old village chief walked over slowly, "Comrade Gu Xiao, if you come to the provincial capital, the news must be better than ours in this poor ravine, let me inquire with you about something." ”
"Village chief, say it, I won't hide what I know." What needs to be hidden, that is, not knowing.
"That's right, have you ever heard your father talk about relief food? I've heard that there are relief grains in many places, but why haven't you heard of relief grains in Qinghe County? ”
The old village chief's words really stopped Gu Shinian.
However, the three-year natural disaster is nationwide, and even if the government will subsidize relief food, it will be limited, and it will not be distributed in every locality, and it will definitely focus on the most difficult places first.
A village like Xinglin Village, which is going on, should not be able to succeed if it wants to apply for relief food.
"Village chief, the army can't interfere in the work of the local government, and my dad can't ask about the relief of food."
"That's right. It's okay, I'll just ask. ”
The old village chief was very disappointed, his brows furrowed tightly, and the folds on his face were a little deeper.
Gu Shinian walked a few steps with Yunshang in his arms, thought about it, turned around and came back and asked the old village chief:
"Village Chief, is it difficult in the village right now?"
"Alas...... It's almost December, and every household in the village doesn't have enough food leftover, and when the new year comes, it is estimated that many families will have to run out of cooking......
The rest of the sentence was not repeated, but both of them knew what the consequences of the cooking would be.
The old village chief sighed, he had heard that there were still starving people in other places, although Xinglin Village was not to that extent, but it was about the same.
As soon as he thought of this, the old village chief was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.
He has been the village chief for more than ten years, and his greatest wish is to let the villagers be fed and clothed, and never go hungry again.
In the past few years, the general environment has not been good, and the life of the common people is not good, but he has called on the villagers to tighten their belts, and the food in the village is still not enough to eat.
When he was worried, Gu Shinian appeared in Xinglin Village, and then the old village chief was in a hurry to inquire about relief food with Gu Shinian, a half-old boy.
It can be seen that the form of Xinglin Village is really not optimistic......
When the two returned home, Yunshang put the sleeping widow Wang on the kang into the space, and then moved the bench and sat opposite Gu Shinian, and asked with a serious face:
"Second Brother Gu, you just asked the old village chief, do you want to give food to the people in the village?"
"You can't give it directly, you have to think of a way to let the villagers accept your affection." Gu Shinian did not deny it, frowning and thinking of a way to solve the food problem in Xinglin Village.
If he was just helping the villagers of Xinglin Village, he could have thrown the food near the village chief's house and led people to find it.
But now he wants to use the matter of food to let the people in the village inherit Yunshang's love, so that after he leaves, the people in the village will not bully Yunshang.
Now the trouble is how he can operate so as not to arouse the suspicion of the villagers, and how much food to subsidize the villagers......
Yunshang was also worried, "Will it be dangerous to do this, and how do you explain the source of food?" ”
