"If a person is broken, it is worthless."

Jiang Chen's simple words successfully made Ruan Dajiang stop.

In order to prevent Ruan Xiuxiu from escaping again, Ruan Dajiang tied Ruan Xiuxiu with hemp rope and locked it in the granary.

The granary has no windows, only a door, and the door is locked from the outside, and it is difficult for Ruan Xiuxiu to fly.

Knowing that Ruan Xiuxiu was locked up, the father and daughter didn't speak for a while.

Nguyen Xiuxiu is purely self-inflicted and does not deserve sympathy at all.

After sitting for a while, Ruan gently pulled Jiang Chen to accompany her to the toilet.

Because of the experience of being bitten by rats when she was a child, Ruan Qingqing has a great shadow of the dry toilets in the countryside, and at night, there are no electric lights in the toilets, which is dark and gloomy, if she can't hold it back, she really doesn't want to go to the toilet.

With Jiang Chen guarding the door and helping her with a flashlight, Ruan Qing felt safe going to the toilet in the countryside for the first time.

After going to the toilet, Ruan Qingqing did not immediately go back to the mourning hall, but asked Jiang Chen about the five thousand yuan.

Although she didn't think that Jiang Chen would be deceived, she was relieved to ask clearly.

Jiang Chen looked at her with a smile in his dark eyes, "Sister, there is only one person in this world who can cheat me out of my money." ”

"Who?"

"You."

Ruan lightly blushed.

The light was too dark, Jiang Chen couldn't see the look on her face clearly, but he could guess that her cheeks must be red, and he loved his sister's shy appearance very much.

If it weren't for the wrong timing, he really wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her gently.

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and with the burial of Li Yulian's body, the funeral was finally over.

After the funeral banquet, everyone sat down to discuss the matter of supporting Ruan Hongfa.

Some relatives of the Ruan family and the village director Guo Degang were also present, as were some villagers watching the excitement.

Ruan Dajiang took the lead in saying his plan: "According to the rules, I am the boss, and I should give the old man a pension." My idea is that in the future, the old man will live with me and Guilan, and you will give the old man a hundred living expenses every month. ”

When the words fell, the relatives and villagers present all looked at each other.

Guo Degang spoke, "Is a hundred a month a little more?" ”

One hundred a month, one thousand two a year, and the vast majority of families in the village do not have this income for a year.

Relatives also speak fairly to me every word.

"Thirty or fifty yuan a month is about the same, and I will buy some food and clothing during the New Year's holidays."

"yes, the old man can't eat much."

Ruan Dajiang turned a deaf ear to the surrounding voices, and only stared at Ruan Dahai, "Dahai, you say something." ”

Liu Guilan and her husband have one heart, "Dahai, you are a factory, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, and it is easy for you to take 1,002 to support the elderly." ”

Ruan lightly sneered in her heart, one thousand or two a year, which is worth the money earned by a young man working for a year, and it is clear that she is treating her father as a cash cow.

"Auntie, my dad earns more and earns less, which is different from the cost of supporting my grandfather. If you earn more, you have to give more, so if you earn less, can you give less or not give at all? ”

This was echoed by relatives and villagers.

Everyone is not stupid, how can they not see that Ruan Dajiang and his family are calculating, they are nothing more than trying to reap more benefits in the name of supporting the elderly.

One thousand two a year, two people really dare to think.

Ruan Qing didn't bother to talk nonsense with Ruan Dajiang's family, and directly grabbed the initiative in his hands, "Put aside the alimony in advance, and talk about the cost of grandma's funeral first." ”

Ruan gently listed the costs of the coffin, the construction of the mourning hall, the incense candle paper wax, the burial, and the funeral banquet in front of everyone, and finally the total cost was five hundred and seventy-eight.

"Uncle and aunt, please take out the silk gold, and settle the accounts of grandma's future affairs first."

Liu Guilan reluctantly went back to the house and took out the money bag containing silk gold and poured the money on the table.

"It's all here."

Looking at the pitiful banknotes on the table, Ruan gently sneered in his heart.

The relatives of each family plus the people in the village, at least forty or fifty families gave gifts, even if one family only gave ten yuan, it was four or five hundred.

But the money on the table is estimated to be enough for three hundred.

Ruan lightly didn't bother to break with Liu Guilan, and took out the account book that recorded the silk gold with her backhand.

"In the past two days, when I was free, I made a record of the silk gold sent by each family, and I received a total of six hundred and eight silk gold."

In Ruan Dajiang's ugly faces as if eating, Ruan crackled lightly and settled the account, "...... Auntie, you need to give my dad 629 yuan. ”

Hearing Ruan's light report, and then looking at the silk gold on the table, which was obviously half missing, the eyes of the relatives were suddenly full of disdain.

I didn't pay a penny for my mother's funeral, and I still wanted black silk gold, and my appearance was too ugly.

In front of everyone's eyes, Ruan Dajiang's face was white and red, but his face was really thick enough, and while asking Liu Guilan to put away the silk gold on the table, he said to Ruan Dahai: "You know what is going on in my family, I will give you this money later." ”

Ruan said softly, "Uncle, since you have a tight hand, then you don't have to give this money to my father." ”

Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but secretly rejoice, but the words that Ruan said lightly later extinguished the joy of the two of them-

"It's just my father's alimony to my grandfather, and it will be deducted according to the amount of each month."

The two of them were reluctant, but they couldn't refute it.

Ruan gently continued to talk about alimony, "My grandfather's monthly food and clothing expenses, my father bears half of it, including the cost of grandpa's medicine and medical treatment in the future." ”

This was fair, and relatives and the village chief all nodded in agreement.

Ruan Dajiang's face was ugly.

The family's money has been cheated out, and the old lady is dead, so he can only make up for the loss by making some money from his younger brother through the old man. According to his niece, he wouldn't be able to get a dime.

This will not work!

Ruan Dajiang couldn't sit still, "Dahai, if you think that the maintenance cost of one hundred is too high, you name the number, and we will discuss it again." ”

Ruan Dahai looked at Ruan Hongfa with a withered face, and felt very uncomfortable.

In the past few days of the funeral, Ruan Hongfa almost never said a word, and every day he either sat in a daze, or looked at Li Yulian's portrait and wiped his tears, and the whole person seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

As a widower who lost his wife at an early age, he can understand Nguyen Hongfa's grief.

He got up and walked in front of Ruan Hongfa, "Dad, I'll give you fifty expenses every month in the future, if you don't want to farm, you can also come to the city to live with us, okay?" ”

Ruan Hongfa raised his sunken gray eyes, looked at Ruan Dahai for a while, and nodded.

Ruan Dajiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fifty a month, seven hundred and five a year, with this income, their family's life can be much easier.

Just when everyone thought that the matter of alimony had fallen to the ground, Ruan Hongfa suddenly stood up tremblingly and said a word.

I want to take a good rest for two days, and then another book needs to be saved, and when it comes over, it will resume two changes.
