Chapter 103: Taking care of the aftermath
"Aunt Lin, you don't have to worry about it first."
Wang Qiang comforted and said, "I'll send you upstairs first and see if I can help you come up with an idea." ”
"It's good for one person to be short, three for long, and for multiple people to come up with ideas."
"It's not in a hurry now, you have to calm down first, let's think of a way together, get an idea, and try to handle things well."
Now the matter of Aunt Lin and her brother-in-law's family is not big or small, but the matter has already happened, and it is imperative to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible.
It's useless to be in a hurry.
Wang Qiang didn't expect that on May Day, Aunt Lin and Chen Lin originally meant that they couldn't afford to hide because they couldn't be provoked, they just wanted to avoid her hopeless bad gambler brother.
Who would have thought that the rotten gambler would actually stay in the tea city, wanting to wait for his sister to come back, and then ask for the money.
Then, this guy didn't have it, and he was so unlucky that he probably bought wine to relieve his boredom that night.
But the little money that guy has on him, it's okay to buy some wine and drink, but if you want to live in a hotel, you really don't have any money, not to mention that you don't know when your sister will come home, and you have to stay for a few days.
So, he thought about spending the night in the stone arch cave at the bottom of the nearby Chajiang Bridge during these few days of waiting, without spending a penny on accommodation.
It was a good choice, but two days ago I had drunk too much and fell into the river, drunk and drowned.
Nowadays, rice wine is very cheap, and he should have brought a little money with him, such as travel expenses or something, and it is normal to use it to buy wine and drink.
That unlucky ghost is really a little unlucky.
"Okay, Cuong."
Lin Liping had already lost her square inch, nodded to Wang Qiang, turned around and thanked the two good sisters in front of her again, and then said goodbye to each other.
After a while, she returned home with her brother-in-law, a family of four and Wang Qiang.
"Sister Liping, what is the bad situation in Dongyang Village in our Taro City, you grew up there, you should know very well."
"In the whole Dongyang Village, except for the busy farming season, everyone usually either drinks or plays cards, and everyone doesn't go to work."
As soon as everyone sat down, Li Guiying said with a sad face, "Daddy, he was very disgraceful in life, and even more disgraceful when he died, it's really embarrassing." ”
"Based on the situation in Dongyang Village, there are very few villagers who will come to help handle the aftermath of this kind of thing in my family."
"I plan to bury the baby and his father in a low-key manner after returning home with his ashes and a few babies, and this matter will be considered the past."
In fact, Li Guiying has long been desperate for her rotten gambler and drunkard husband who can't support the wall.
Even the tuition fee that my sister gave to the baby every year was not hot, and he lost all of it by playing cards!
Now that he died unexpectedly, in his heart, he can't say what it feels like.
"That's fine."
Lin Liping pondered helplessly for a while and said, "However, it is reasonable for me to go back with you." ”
"It's not troublesome to deal with the aftermath, the problem is that you are a family of four, and now you are the only laborer, and you have to bring three babies, and you have to send them to school in the future, which is ......"
The hometown of Taro City has also been divided into households last year.
However, because there are not many fields in Dongyang Village, there are only one acre and two points of land per head.
Lin Liping was married to her husband at the Chacheng bus station, he was a regular employee, and in order to let Lin Liping get a priority for her family in a few years, she moved Lin Liping's hukou over.
So Lin Liping was in Taro City, and she didn't get any land last year.
However, after her husband's death, Lin Liping not only did not get a regular employee quota, but also did not even have the land in her hometown, and truly became a "flexible worker", that is, a person who has no land and no formal work.
Now that the brother of the rotten gambler died in an accident, to say something unpleasant, it is definitely a good thing for the brother-in-law's family.
At the very least, if the family can earn money in the future, they can save it, and their three children should be able to go to school.
My brother-in-law can farm at home, but even if she does her best, it is difficult for her to have the money to send her three children to school.
This made Lin Liping feel very tricky.
With her kind nature, it is not a matter to watch her three teenage children abandon her home and follow her mother to do farm work.
Not to mention that they will go to high school and university in the future, at least they must graduate from junior high school and be literate and hyphenated.
"Ah Qiang, you have to go to the village committee for a meeting tomorrow, and the cadres from the county will meet and talk with you three model workers, so you don't have to accompany us to Taro City."
Lin Liping saw Wang Qiang open his mouth to speak, and hurriedly stopped him, "Dongyang Village in Taro County is full of black smoke and miasma, Lin'er should not go back this time, so as not to dirty her eyes." ”
"You and your sister will help me take care of Lin'er during this time, even if it is a great help to my aunt."
She's right, it's already the best arrangement.
"That's ......"
Wang Qiang thought about it for a while, and felt that he really couldn't help in handling Aunt Lin's brother's funeral, and he couldn't get out of the way.
Fortunately, in the past few months, he has been going into the city twice in three days, selling all kinds of eggs and buying miscellaneous grains, so he always carries a hundred and eighty yuan of money with him.
He took out a small stack of large solidarity from his trouser pocket, about more than a hundred yuan, and handed it to Aunt Lin, "Aunt Lin, I can't help much for the time being, but I still have some money at home." ”
"With this money, you can take it to help your brother handle the funeral, and by the way, take these little guys to the city to buy some things, clothes, pants, shoes and socks."
"No, no......" Lin Liping hurriedly got up and postponed, "Ah Qiang, how can this make you break the bank?" ”
She sternly refused, "No! I can't ask for this money! ”
"In the past month, I have gone around setting up stalls to sell herbal tea, and in addition to Lin'er's medical expenses, I have also saved more than 30 yuan."
"So, I still have enough money for the time being."
"Anyway, there is no need to make a big deal about Lin'er's uncle's funeral, twenty or thirty yuan is enough."
"Hey!"
Wang Qiang sighed and said, "Aunt Lin, I lent you this money!" ”
"You are going to your hometown in Taro City, and you have to arrange the life of your brother and daughter-in-law's family, where is the twenty or thirty yuan enough?"
He said with a solemn face, "Even if it's enough, if you bring a little more money with you, you can also be prepared for emergencies." ”
"How can I do without money in my hometown in a different place?"
He shoved the money into Aunt Lin's hand, got up and left.
When he got to the gate, he turned around and said, "I have something to do, so I'll go home first." ”
"Aunt Lin, you've finished your work when you return to Taro City, come home as soon as possible, so as not to worry about Lin'er."
"It's inconvenient for me to tell her about her uncle, lest she worry about it and miss her studies."
"When you come back, I'll explain it to her in person, so it's best."
"Also, my sister and I will take care of her, so you can rest assured."
With that, he opened the door and walked out, turned his head and said goodbye, and then closed the door.
After a while, he went downstairs with some complicated feelings, and then rode a three-wheeled bicycle, got out of the bus station, and drove in the direction of Chajiang Bridge.
