Chapter 19: ingratitude
As for the succession that the village chief said, they are even less worried. Who will have a stepdaughter? Moreover, their Great Elm Village is a poor village, except for the village chief's family, whose family's conditions can surpass theirs.
Do you want to say that the village chief's family will succeed Qiao Jiarong? Then I don't have to worry about it, the village chief has several grandchildren, and it is impossible for him to have other people's children.
The one-armed brother of the village chief is possible, if only that were the case. That old guy definitely has no money, and it will be a problem for Qiao Jiarong to live at that time, let alone go to school.
Thinking of Qiao Jiarong's hard life in the future, Qiao Laosi's family was satisfied.
Regarding Qiao Jiarong's request for money, it was something that Qiao Tiezhu and they didn't expect.
But thinking of the money Qiao Weimin earned for his family when he was alive, they stopped talking. Xiaorong is a child of the people, and it is normal to leave some money for the child.
Although it is natural for a son to respect Lao Tzu, he must also hope that his family will treat his children well.
Now, Qiao Lao and his wife want to drive the child away, and it is normal for the child to ask for money.
However, what makes everyone strange is that. This child is so young, how could she think of asking for money.
After all, a child her age. They have no idea about money at all, and at most they know that a penny can buy two pieces of candy.
But at this time, Qiao Tiezhu didn't have time to think about this, he squatted down and asked Qiao Jiarong: "Xiaorong, how much money do you want?" ”
"Three hundred. Grandpa the village chief, I want three hundred dollars. I'm getting smaller, and I want to buy myself bigger clothes. In the future, I will have to go to school, and I will keep the money to pay for tuition. Qiao Jiarong pointed to the shortened clothes on his body and said.
Qiao Tiezhu and the patriarch noticed the washed white clothes on their bodies, and they once again felt that the dead Qiao Weimin was not worth it. Before he died, he left a thousand dollars to his family, but he didn't use any of it for his wife and daughter.
Now that he and his family want to drive Xiaorong away, the child should ask for some money. It's just that the patriarch is worried that it is not safe for a child to carry so much money.
Qiao Tiezhu was not worried about this, what he was worried about was that Qiao Jiarong would take the money to his second brother's house. will bring trouble to the second brother, so Jiang knows how nonsense he is.
He didn't want to bring endless trouble to the future because of these three hundred dollars.
Therefore, he hoped that Qiao Jiarong would give up the three hundred yuan. Anyway, in the future, she will pass on to her second brother, and she will not let her have no clothes to wear and no money to pay for tuition.
But Qiao Jiarong disagreed, she didn't want Qiao Laosi's family to have a good time. I'm about to leave, so naturally I have to add some trouble to them.
Jiang Ermei was a picker, and she was reluctant to spend a penny when she came. How could he be willing to give Qiao Jiarong so much money? She said she didn't agree with anything.
Anyway, she just has two words: no money.
Jiang Ermei refused to take the money, and the patriarch couldn't help her even if they wanted to. In the end, Qiao Jiarong could only be persuaded to leave first with his things.
Qiao Jiarong also knew that the patriarch was doing it for her good, so he obediently packed up his things. Actually, there wasn't anything, she used some useless things to make a look.
Since you are leaving, you naturally have to take these things with you.
Qiao Jiarong handed over all the things he had collected to Qiao Tieniu, and then ran to the pigsty by himself. I picked three big fat pigs and killed them one by one, and after calculating the price of meat, I felt that these were not enough for 300 yuan.
So he went to the sheepfold and caught two sheep. Beat him to death in the same way, and then said to Qiao Tiezhu and the others: "Patriarch, and all grandfathers." I'm alright, let's go! ”
Qiao Jiarong's speed was too fast, and before Qiao's family could react, she killed all the pigs and sheep. By the time they reflected, Qiao Jiarong had already asked people to carry these pigs and sheep away.
Jiang Ermei screamed: "Ah...... Qiao Jiarong, you can't die well. ”
"Qiao Jiarong, you killed our pigs and sheep, I will report to the public security to arrest you."
"She killed our pigs and sheep......"
"That's our pig and sheep, Qiao Jiarong, you put the pig and sheep down."
“……”
The rest of the Qiao family also followed suit.
The patriarch looked at the collapsed Qiao family and said contemptuously: "Didn't you say that there was no money? Now you don't have to take any money, these pigs and sheep can be sold for money. ”
"Patriarch, this Qiao Jiarong is a Ming robbery, I will go to the town to report to the public security to arrest her." Qiao Zezhi said.
The patriarch is old, and his ears are not very good. What Qiao Zezhi said, he didn't hear at all.
"Selling your own livestock, how can it be called robbery." One of the clan elders said.
Seeing that things had become like this, the village chief could only give up his original plan. He also said: "The child just wants to buy two clothes that fit well and make up some tuition."
You don't talk about sponsoring children, you still say things like this. I thought that all the people's monthly wages were subsidized for the family, but you treated her daughter like this, which is too chilling. ”
"yes, yes! I wanted to pay 30 yuan a month, so I had to send 20 yuan to Qiao Lao and his family. There is also the money that was paid in the accident, and you didn't give it to Lou Zhiqing.
Now that Weimin has only been dead for a few years, they treat Xiaorong like this, and they are not afraid that Weimin and his family will come back to settle accounts with you. At this time, the neighbors who were watching next to him also said.
“……”
The others listened and followed suit, saying that Qiao Weimin was good. said that the Qiao Zezhi brothers were ungrateful.
Everyone was talking about Qiao Weimin's various things to Qiao's family when he was alive, as well as his help to the people in the village.
The more they talked, the more excited they became, and their voices became louder and louder, covering up all the voices of everyone in the Qiao family.
Qiao Tiezhu saw that everyone couldn't hug him, so he hurried away with the patriarch and clan elders. It's better to help Xiaorong sell the pigs and sheep first, and get the money to defend himself is the truth.
and Xiaorong's hukou also has to move out, and then transfer her to the second brother's name. Hurry up on this matter, lest it be too late for Qiao Laosi's family to regret it.
In this way, Qiao Jiarong's household registration soon moved to Qiao Tieniu's house. And the three pigs and two sheep she brought out were sold, all with the help of the villagers.
Some help boil water, while others mobilize relatives and friends to buy meat. The butcher directly helped to remove the bones and weigh the meat, and soon sold the pork, but no one owed the debt.
The mutton was bought by few people, but it was sold to the town through the village chief, and the meat was sold for a total of three hundred and forty yuan. It was forty more than the money she originally wanted, but Qiao Jiarong was very happy.
In order to thank the villagers for their help, Qiao Jiarong gave the remaining offal and bones that no one had bought, and the villagers gave her a thumbs up after receiving the things.
Qiao Laosi's family scolded Qiao Jiarong with sad faces because of the heavy losses. But Qiao Jiarong didn't care at all, she was happily helping Wang Juan wind the yarn!
Because Qiao Tieniu's family had no place to live, Qiao Jiarong temporarily lived in the village chief's house, living with the village chief's granddaughter Qiao Xinxin.
Qiao Xinxin is five years older than Qiao Jiarong and is already in elementary school. is good for Qiao Jiarong, and any good things will be shared with Qiao Jiarong.
Every night after finishing homework, he would teach Qiao Jiarong to count and read, and sometimes take her to play with friends, so that Qiao Jiarong, who has always been out of place, gradually integrated into the group.
In her previous life, because Qiao Meili and Chen Jie always gossiped about her in the village, Qiao Jiarong had been isolated by the children in the village.
