Chapter 44: Wang Laidi's Remorse
Although no one has said anything unpleasant yet, Wang Laidi has already realized that if Jiang Li leaves here one day, she will stay alone in the village, and what awaits her will be endless gossip.
It has been said since ancient times that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door.
She, though not a widow.
But how is a divorced woman different from a widow?
And she, not bad-looking.
A woman like her is the easiest to gossip about in this village.
Wang Laidi, who realized this, did not regret divorcing Jiang Laosi, she was just thinking about how she would live her life in the future.
She didn't believe that a woman couldn't live without a man.
Regarding this point, Wang Laidi still thinks that what her daughter Jiang Li said is right, women are not inseparable from men.
The premise is that a woman must be able to support herself.
Just like her girl!
Now in these ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know her daughter?
What a girl can do, it makes no sense that she can't be a mother!
Thinking of this, Wang Laidi was inexplicably high-spirited.
But this fighting spirit only lasted for a moment, and Wang Laidi became very disappointed again.
Why is the girl so capable?
Other people's daughters, like her, are still in school. And her daughter, who stopped studying early, came home to help with the work.
Why did she go home to work?
Because she has no one to rely on since she was a child.
Mom and Dad can't be trusted, if they can't do it anymore, can they still live?
Wang Laidi's emotions were not far from collapse in an instant.
She wants to cry!
But I don't know whether to cry that I am not worthy of being a parent, or cry that I didn't treat my daughter well.
……
When Jiang Li came back from the county seat, he saw that Wang Laidi was absent-minded, and his whole body was wilted.
However, Jiang Li didn't care about her.
are all adults, where do you need her to take care of them?
When Song Laifu saw Jiang Li coming back, he returned the rest of the money and the account book to Jiang Li, and by the way, he told him about the pine fungus he received in the morning.
Moreover, there is a new situation here, some people come with sun-dried pine mushrooms and ask if they will receive it, how to collect it.
"Jiang Li, I don't know if this thing can be collected, so I told the old brother, put the things here first, anyway, the money is paid for a day, you say?"
"Grandpa Laifu, it's this reason!"
Jiang Li naturally has no opinion on Song Laifu's approach.
Moreover, the sun-dried pine fungus must also be harvested. After all, this thing, in autumn and winter, can also be used to make soup, soaked in water and eaten, although the taste is a little worse, but it is still very delicious.
is how to calculate the purchase price, Jiang Li has to calculate it carefully.
What is the situation in the state-run hotel, Jiang Li is not easy to say.
But if she really told Xu Qian that she would go to the island in the future, this kind of mountain delicacies and dry goods would definitely be very needed.
The conditions on the island must be inferior to this.
After troublesome Song Laifu continued to stare at the acquisition here, Jiang Li went to the village committee and called Sun Zhiliang to ask how to harvest the sun-dried pine fungus.
Dry goods and fresh goods, the method of receiving is definitely different.
The price of dry goods is significantly higher.
After all, after this thing is dried, it is much lighter.
With Sun Zhiliang, the two set a suitable purchase price and hung up the phone.
Turning around, Jiang Li found a board, wrote on it the purchase of sun-dried pine mushrooms, and quoted the price.
For the rest, it is only necessary to rely on the crowd to spread the word.
"I've had lunch in the county seat, you go to make some food yourself, don't do my share!"
Seeing that the meal had arrived, Jiang Li greeted Wang Laidi and continued to work.
Wang Laidi looked at her daughter, who was very cold to herself, and walked silently to the stove room.
She regretted it.
But she also understands that even if she apologizes to her daughter now, it will be useless.
Can the damage that has been caused be erased with just a few words of apology?
Wang Laidi knew that this was impossible!
Jiang Laosi just beat her once, she couldn't stand it and chose to divorce. However, since she was a child, how many times has this girl been beaten? Such a small person was punched and kicked by Jiang Laosi in the name of discipline.
And she, as her own mother, has been watching from the sidelines.
If time could come back, Wang Laidi swore that when Jiang Laosi moved her daughter for the first time, she would desperately divorce him from him.
No, if time really comes back, she won't give Jiang Laosi any chance.
The moment Li Cuihua disliked her and gave birth to a daughter, she would break up with the Jiang family.
However, can time be repeated?
No!
Wang Laidi sat in front of the stove, silently burning the fire and cooking, tears flowing like flood water.
Watching her daughter carry everything alone, she realized that it was not how powerful her daughter was, but how failed she was as a mother.
is also the daughter of the Jiang family, born on the same day.
Why did Li Cuihua say that Jiang Jin was a lucky star and her daughter was a mourning star?
However, is there any point in pursuing these now?
Wang Laidi wept silently, wanting to cry, but she didn't dare to make any sound.
She didn't dare, because she knew that this remorse of hers, this heartache of hers, did not deserve to be comforted by anyone.
All of this is her own doing!
She made it herself!
……
Jiang Li knew that Wang Laidi had something on her mind, but she didn't know what Wang Laidi was thinking.
After spending a few days with Wang Laidi, they had limited communication with each other, and they were more like strangers living under the same roof.
Like a tenant in a shared house, do you care about what the person next to you thinks?
The answer, of course, is no.
Jiang Li won't either.
She didn't have the time to guess what Wang Laidi was thinking.
Even if he knew that Wang Laidi regretted it, Jiang Li would not be moved.
After all, everyone has to bear the consequences of their choices.
The little girl who needed a mother's love has gone. Or heaven, or complete dissipation, who knows?
Jiang Li lived in her place and bore the alimony brought by her share of the kindness, which can be regarded as the whole cause and effect of not knowing whether it exists or not.
One afternoon, Jiang Li was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
She thought that the acquisition of pine mushrooms was coming to an end, but she unexpectedly found that the pine mushrooms received today actually reached a new high.
After chatting with Song Laifu, I learned that many of the people who came here today were not from their commune, but from other nearby communes.
Some communes even sent people over with the commune's tractors.
"This, as for it?"
It's the difference of five cents, using the tractors of the commune, how can they figure it out?
"Why not?"
"A pound is five cents, and a hundred pounds is five dollars."
"How much fuel is the tractor for a trip, and how many five dollars are gone because I can't bear this fuel fee, you kid, will you settle the account?"
Song Laifu criticized Jiang Li with disgust.
What can Jiang Li say?
You can only be honestly educated!
