Travel through 1972 with a space mall

"Daughter-in-law." Seeing that Su Jiao didn't speak for a long time, Ye Mingyuan thought she was angry and gently pulled the corner of her clothes.

Su Jiao reacted and patted Ye Mingyuan's hand with a smile, "I'm fine, I'm just a little surprised. The old lady is really capable."

"It was quite a big deal at the time. Director Yu happened to live very close to Deputy Director Sun's house, so he heard about it. According to Director Yu, Uncle Su didn't work well and cheated every day. He was lazy when he found an opportunity, and even used Deputy Director Sun's name to scare the co-workers. The co-workers were too angry and dared not speak up." Meng Long continued to add when he saw that Su Jiao was fine.

Su Jiao thought to herself that Second Uncle Su was still the same as before and had not made any progress after so many years.

Su Jiao didn't want to continue talking about them and started asking about Su Caixia again.

Meng Long said, "I went to the east of the city and asked around. The old widower's name was Yu Huaicheng. He was involved in everything from food, drinking, prostitution, and gambling. He was just an old bastard. A few years ago, he was sent to a labor camp for committing crimes and was in a labor camp for several years. , just a few years after it was released.”

"I heard from an old lady in the east side of the city that Yu Huaicheng did beat his wife to death when he was young. That was four years ago. At that time, there was still chaos and no one cared about it. , and later he married another one and continued to fight. Fortunately, the woman’s family was strong and forced her to divorce her. From then on, no one dared to marry their daughter to him.”

Meng Long paused and frowned and continued, "I have also inquired. Mrs. Su really wants to marry my sister-in-law, your cousin named Su Caixia, to Yu Huaicheng. The betrothal gift has not been agreed yet. Yu Huaicheng The betrothal gift mentioned was 200, but Mrs. Su thought it was too little and wanted to add more."

Su Jiao felt that her fists were hardened. The old lady was really ungrateful. Her own granddaughter was being sold to a murderer as if she were a commodity, and she was still haggling over the price.

"Jiaojiao, don't be angry, or you may get angry." Ye Mingyuan obviously heard Su Jiao breathing heavily, and immediately stroked Su Jiao's back to calm her down.

"I didn't expect the old lady to be so cruel. Isn't Sister Caixia's life not life?" Su Jiao took a deep breath.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I have a way to mess up this marriage." Seeing Su Jiao being so angry, Meng Long said quickly.

When Su Jiao heard this, she immediately looked up at Meng Long.

Ye Mingyuan, who was next to him, couldn't help but punch Meng Long on the shoulder, "How long has it been? Why are you so tight-lipped? Why don't you hurry up and say it? I didn't see how angry your sister-in-law is."

Meng Long chuckled. Then he continued: "That Yu Huaicheng is an old gangster. His biggest hobbies are drinking and gambling. We can't control the drinking, but the gambling is ours. I'll find someone to trick him and let him reform for a few more years. , save yourself from harming people outside."

Su Jiao's eyes lit up after hearing this. This can be regarded as eliminating harm to society. It just happened to solve Su Caixia's urgent need.

The three of them discussed it, and Su's mother's lunch was also prepared. The lunch was also very rich, including tofu stewed with cabbage, scrambled eggs with shredded potatoes, braised salted fish with soybeans, pork belly stewed with beans, and corn pancakes.

After eating, Meng Long kept nodding his head and saying it was delicious.

Meng Long left in a hurry after finishing his meal at noon, anxious to go back to carry out his big plan.

After seeing Meng Long off, Ye Mingyuan went to the team's mill to grind flour.

He applied with the captain a few days ago, because not long after the grain distribution, there were many applications for flour grinding, and he has been waiting in line until today.

Each production team in the village has its own mill. In fact, there is a stone mill in a room. When you need to grind noodles, you can ask the team leader for an ox to grind the noodles.

Su Jiao and Ye Yao took a nap after lunch.

Ye Mingyuan went out to grind noodles, but Su's mother did not come home. She sat on the kang to collect the soles of her shoes, accompanying Su Jiao and Ye Yao.

Winter naps were not very comfortable. Su Jiao and Ye Yao slept until past two o'clock.

When Ye Yao woke up, she clamored to go out to play with her friends. Su Jiao was afraid that she would catch a cold if she went out just after waking up, so she stopped her.

Su Jiao took the little book and started telling stories to Ye Yao.

Mother Su had been looking at Su Jiao and Ye Yao with a loving look on her face. This was her precious daughter. If someone else had taken a nap for half the afternoon, Mother Su might have been mumbling in her heart.

After a while, Wu Xiaoqin came to visit again.

While Wu Xiaoqin was greeting Su's mother, Su Jiao handed the little book to Ye Yao and asked the little one to look at the illustrations. Then she started to greet Wu Xiaoqin to get on the kang.

"I guess the guests should leave at this point. I'm here to tell you that Widow Li and Wang Mazi will definitely be criticized. Because Aunt Cuihua made a scene, and Sun Jiangang refused to admit it, he is fine and has been punished. Released." Before Wu Xiaoqin's butt even touched the kang, she hurriedly shared the latest progress with Su Jiao.

"Really?" Su Jiao was a little confused. She had never seen a criticism meeting.

The original owner of Memory has not seen criticism for many years. The folk customs in Xiangyang Village are relatively upright, mainly because the branch secretary manages it better.

Except for a few restless quarrels between Mr. Chen and Chen Shuting when they were decentralized last year, Xiangyang Village has been relatively peaceful at other times.

"You uncle hero did this. Firstly, because the matter is so big, you have to explain it to the villagers and establish your prestige. Secondly, I guess you are also using this incident to remind the villagers, so that those dishonest people can put away their evil thoughts and take action. If you don't have nothing to do every winter, those short-sighted people always think of some evil ways." After hearing Wu Xiaoqin's words, Su's mother immediately realized the reason why the Party Secretary and others did this.

Su Jiao and Wu Xiaoqin looked at Su's mother with admiration and sighed in their hearts, Jiang is still old and has a thorough understanding of things.

Mother Su raised her chin proudly after harvesting two little fans.

Ye Yao next to her said that she didn’t understand, she didn’t understand at all, and then continued to read the little book.

"Is the time set?" Su Jiao looked at Wu Xiaoqin eagerly and asked.

She hasn't gone out for more than ten days, and she wants to go out and see the excitement.

"It's decided, it will be tomorrow morning." Wu Xiaoqin said.

"What about tomorrow morning?" Ye Mingyuan pushed the door in and asked doubtfully.

"Xiao Qin said that tomorrow morning the village will criticize Widow Li and Wang Mazi for breaking their shoes." Su Jiao looked at Ye Mingyuan expectantly and said.

Ye Mingyuan could tell Su Jiao's thoughts at a glance, "Do you want to go see the fun tomorrow? No, there are so many people, what if you bump into each other?"

Mother Su immediately echoed: "It's too dangerous. The good guys in the village are getting excited. What if they scare you or bump into you accidentally?"

Su Jiao's head suddenly drooped, "I haven't gone out for so many days, I'm almost exhausted at home."

Wu Xiaoqin then remembered that Su Jiao was pregnant, and quickly comforted her: "It's okay, I'll go check it out tomorrow, and I'll tell you then."

Su Jiao responded with her head drooped.

Su's mother smiled and smoothed Su Jiao's hair: "We Jiaojiao are pregnant and are about to become children. Why are we still having such a tantrum?"

Wu Xiaoqin couldn't help but joked: "Didn't Jiaojiao just throw herself into my aunt's arms and act like a spoiled brat a few days ago? Many people saw her. Don't you be ashamed?"

Wu Xiaoqin's words directly evoked Su Jiao's memories of social death. She quickly lowered her head and pretended to be a quail, and did not dare to mention going out to watch the criticism.

Everyone else in the room burst into laughter.

Wu Xiaoqin knew that Su Jiao was bored, so she stayed at Ye's house for a while, chatting with her until it got dark before going home to cook.

After dinner in the evening, Ye Mingyuan sent Su's mother back to Su's house.

After returning home, Ye Mingyuan began to scoop water from the pot for Su Jiao and Ye Yao to wipe their bodies and soak their feet.

When Su Jiao and Ye Yao both lay down, Ye Mingyuan also started to soak their feet.

By the time Ye Mingyuan finished cleaning up and got on the kang, Ye Yao was already fast asleep, but Su Jiao was tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Ye Mingyuan lay down and reached out to hold Su Jiao into his arms, and asked softly, "Are you still thinking about your second uncle and Sister Caixia, so you can't sleep?"

"Well, the more I think about it, the more angry I feel. The five fingers on one hand can be long or short. There are many children in the family who can't hold a bowl of water evenly and no one can say anything. But grandma must have gone too far." Su Jiao He moved in Ye Mingyuan's arms and found a comfortable position to lean on.

"As far as my mother is concerned, she has favored me since she was a child. I know this, but she has never treated my brothers and sisters harshly. Looking at the old lady, her treatment of my father and second uncle is really very different. For the old lady, the second uncle is a treasure and the father is a piece of grass."

The more Su Jiao thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn't even want to call her grandma anymore, and just called her old lady.

Ye Mingyuan gently stroked Su Jiao's back and said comfortingly: "Okay, don't be angry. Grandma doesn't like dad, but it's fine if we like him. From now on, we will be filial to our parents."

"Well, we don't care about grandma and uncle being like that. I'm just afraid that dad will be sad if he knows what grandma did." Su Jiao said worriedly.

"Sooner or later, dad and mom will know. Now that we know, we can't keep dad in the dark. If dad finds out from grandma or second uncle in the future, he will definitely be even more sad. It's better for us to talk about it and wait for dad and the others to come back. Just go and explain things clearly." Ye Mingyuan paused and then said.

"Okay." Su Jiao also knew in her heart that Ye Mingyuan was right. This kind of thing would be the same sooner or later, but it would still be different when it came from different people's mouths.

"And Sister Caixia, she is so pitiful. She has already started washing and cooking before the stove was high. She has not had enough to eat since she was a child. She is beaten or scolded every day. When she grows up, she will be sold and exploited. Do it for the last bit of value." Su Jiao thought of Su Caixia again, couldn't help but sigh, and said with emotion.

"It will all pass. If Sister Caixia can help in the future, please do so." Ye Mingyuan was silent for a while and said.

"Yeah." Su Jiao was a little sleepy and said in a daze.

Seeing that Su Jiao was sleepy, Ye Mingyuan patted Su Jiao on the back, and soon the couple fell asleep.
