Getting rich in chronology

Zhang Xiaoshan's only letter that did not receive a reply, because it was unexpectedly delayed for two days, will enter the postman's bag and be sent to the destination.

Xiaoyanggou Village, Jiefang Township, Xilin Province, is a well-known poor village in ten miles and eight townships.

It was the busy farming season, and the fields were full of hunched farmers with tanned faces and necks.

The scorching sun made the big guys lose their interest in talking, and the sweat flowed too fiercely. The thin summer clothes on their bodies were soaked with sweat. The high temperature had just dried to [-]% to [-]%, and they were soaked in layers of sweat.

Everyone was working hard, the high temperature made their bodies extremely dehydrated, their mouths were dry, and no one wanted to waste saliva on two unnecessary nonsense.

At this moment, a little boy wearing only a pair of shorts suddenly ran over on the ridge of the field, a boy as black as a monkey, shouting as he ran, "It's not good, it's not good, Grandpa Fifth, Uncle Hei Wa!" Blocking the door of Fourth Grandma's house with a knife again!"

The head of Xiaoyanggou Village, who was working in the field, got excited, dropped his hoe and ran up: "God boy, what's going on, why are you making trouble again?"

This accident finally made the villagers who were busy in the field come to life. An aunt who was closer to the ridge where they were, straightened up, wiped off her sweat, and said in a hoarse voice: "Heiwajia Baoya is waiting for money to save her life. If it's gone, can Hei Wa and his wife stop making trouble?"

"Hey, you can't use a knife!" The village head slapped his thigh, raised his voice and called a few strong men together, and ran to Fourth Grandma Yang's house.

"How about we go and see?"

"What are you looking at, doing evil."

"No, Baoya is only eight years old, she is the same age as my Sanya, I met her when I was washing clothes by the river, and Baoya said she would send her to school this year, whoever would have imagined that would be the case. "

"Bao Yaniang's life is also hard, her natal family is unreliable. Although Heiwa is a good person, she served as a soldier outside in the early years, and her family can't take care of her. , Hei Wa has finally come back, and life is getting better, if this happens again, God will not let people live!"

Everyone sighed for a while, but at this moment, a discordant voice sounded.

While working, the skinny woman said meanly: "If you want me to say, they made it by themselves, a girl's film, how can it be so expensive, and it's not that no baby in our village has had a fever, but their baby has a terrible fever. A fever has to be sent to the hospital. Is the hospital an old farmer like us who can go in? No, once you go in, you will get money, and you have to spend all your money, and you still have to pay a debt, why bother."

Others rolled their eyes when they heard this, and an outspoken aunt said: "The girl's film is also the meat that fell from the body of the parents, so why can't it hurt? I think the Heiwa couple did the right thing, unlike some Black-hearted and rotten, he doesn't even treat his own daughter as a human being."

That is to say, the skinny woman in front of her is a well-known patriarch in Xiaoyanggou Village. In order to give birth to sons, she gave birth to seven daughters, some of whom were given away, and some were not supported at all. There are rumors in the village that It was she who deliberately refused to feed the baby and starved the girl to death.

The three daughters who were brought up, worked as small long-term workers at home since they were young, and they promised to go out casually when they were raised, and they would marry the girl to whichever house gave the most gifts. As for the man's family status and character, that is Never mind.

"Who are you calling black-hearted and rotten?" The skinny woman wanted to scold as soon as she jumped up.

"What's wrong with you? You, Wang Juhua, are the ones who scold you. You dare to do it, but you dare not let others talk about it. I've never seen such a black-hearted mother like you, and you deserve it!" The aunt spat heavily on Wang Juhua.

"Li Lanying, what are you? You can't even give birth to a son. You are a hen that doesn't lay eggs. Let's see if I don't tear your mouth open today!" Wang Juhua said, and jumped on him, fighting with Li Lanying.

When the others managed to separate the two, both of them described it as a bit of a mess, but Li Lanying was physically stronger, so it was considered a victory.

Wang Juhua had a slap on her face, a bunch of her hair was pulled out, and she held her torn clothes and said bitterly: "You wait for my old lady."

"Bah!" Li Lanying spat heavily.

Wang Juhua's clothes were torn, so she had to go home quickly, and she wore one in Xia Tian, ​​how could she still look good when the clothes were torn.

Li Lanying smoothed her hair, turned around and left, and the others asked, "Three girls, where are you going?"

Li Lanying said, "Go to Fourth Grandma Yang's house and have a look."

The others were a little hesitant, because they actually wanted to watch the excitement, but they were worried that Yang Heiwa and his wife were begging to borrow money, and their family was not rich. I still have money to lend to them, but I can't live on my own.

"Go and see..."

"Let's go, if something happens, I can help you."

One said to go, two said to go, and the others followed suit.

I wanted to join in the fun, but the last time Yang Heiwa blocked his mother's door with a knife, the whole village went there, and many children couldn't squeeze in, so they all rode on the wall and climbed up the tree to look inside.

They came relatively late, and when they arrived, the door of Fourth Grandma Yang's house was tightly surrounded by three floors of villagers watching the excitement, and only vague scolding and crying could be heard inside.

"How's it going inside?" An aunt asked a villager who was tiptoeing desperately to look inside.

The man smacked his lips, shook his head and said: "It's still arguing, Heiwa asked for money, but Grandma Yang refused to give it, so she lay down on the ground, saying that she was going to sue Heiwa for being unfilial, and to use a knife with my mother."

A person next to him said: "I think Hei Wa has passed. The last time he came to make trouble, didn't Grandma Yang give me 20 yuan?"

"It's nice to say, that money was originally Heiwa's hard-working money." Someone also stood up for Yang Heiwa.

Two days ago, Yang Heiwa and his wife were desperate. The always honest man blocked the gate of the old house with red eyes and raised a knife, and asked his mother for the separation fee that was forced to leave.

That's right, separation fees.

The other families in the village were divided, and the old man divided the family property among his sons. Yang Heiwa's family divided the family, and Yang Heiwa's subsidy was distributed.

When he was a soldier in the early years, his salary was sent home every month, and his mother insisted that he refused to separate the family, and he and his brother's family were together, so his salary was spent by the whole family.

She wanted to send her daughter to school, but the old lady refused, crying and making noises, and he was far away, out of reach.

Later, when he retired due to injury, the army gave him a one-time subsidy of several hundred yuan. Seeing that he was limping, the brothers felt that they would be a drag on them in the future, so they insisted on separating.

Fourth Nanny Yang's eyes were so biased that she valued that the elder son loved the younger son, but Yang Heiwa was the one who didn't love her mother or father in the middle.

She also favors sons over daughters, but Yang Heiwa's wife only gave birth to three granddaughters, and in her opinion they are all losers.

For this division of the family, it’s fine to give Yang Heiwa nothing. He also said that he didn’t honor the elderly at home these years, so he should pay more for the pension, and insisted on his subsidy.

Yang Heiwa was also heartbroken by her mother-in-law, and finally gave in for a while, more than 400 yuan in subsidies, but more than 200 yuan was taken away by her mother.

For the rest of the money, Fourth Grandma Yang felt that she was generous, and gave her second son 200 yuan to settle down. Which old lady is as generous as her.

In fact, it was life or death, and when I was showing off outside, my heart ached.

200 yuan seems like a lot, but Yang Heiwa's family didn't even bring a chopstick out of the old house, just a few tattered and patched clothes.

They moved to a dilapidated hut in the village and settled down temporarily. They usually picked up stones whenever they had time. Even the youngest Baoya knew to take a stone home when she saw it.

After saving enough materials, I asked the village chief to approve the homestead, and asked the villagers to help build the house. I spent more than 100 yuan to build the house and buy my belongings, and finally I had a place to live.

After a few years like this, I watched the days get up.

Although Yang Heiwa is lame, it's not that she can't move. Both of them are hardworking and willing to work, and the three daughters are also obedient and sensible.

After the country began to implement the household contract responsibility system, their family was also allocated fields, and if they were willing to work, they would have food, and their lives would be easier.

On the other hand, in the old house, the chickens and dogs jump around every day.

Grandma Yang only separated from her second son. She wanted to stay with her elder son for the elderly, but she was reluctant to part with her younger son, so the two families still lived together.

Youngest Yang is spoiled, he is used to stealing, raping, and playing tricks. In the past, there was Yang Heiwa who was at a disadvantage. Now that the eldest brother Yang is on top, a rift gradually arose in his heart.

Originally, Yang Heiwa's family was getting better and better, and it could not be said that it was rich, but life finally passed.

Unexpectedly, due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, Baoya, the youngest child in the family, suddenly fell ill. He coughed at first. The family thought it was a cold, so they cooked ginger soup for the child to sweat.

Later, it was found that the ginger soup didn’t work, and Baoya kept coughing until her throat was badly coughed, so she was rushed to the township health center and prescribed pills.

Those free pills, I heard they are western medicines, and it costs one or two yuan to prescribe them casually, which makes me feel so distressed.

With such an expensive medicine, everyone thought that taking such an expensive medicine would cure the disease, but the result became more and more serious. The child started to have a fever, and the fever would not go away, and he was still out of breath.

Yang Heiwa and his wife hurriedly sent the child to the county hospital, but the doctor there told them that the child had pneumonia, not a cold at all.

And because the delay was too long, it was already very serious and had to be hospitalized.

The only good thing is that the doctor said that their family's baby didn't suffer from that kind of infectious pneumonia, otherwise the whole family would not be able to escape, and it would be really hopeless.

But even so, treating Baoya alone is enough to embarrass the family.

When they separated, they didn't get anything. Even the tableware had to be bought again, and the house had to be built. 200 yuan seemed a lot, but in fact it had already been used up.

The old farmers had no way to earn money, and the men in the village could still work as part-time workers when they were not farming. Yang Heiwa was lame, and the part-time workers did not want him.

Although the family will not go hungry, they have not saved any money, and the family savings are only a dozen yuan.

In order to treat the child, the family sold everything that could be sold.

The child was treated at the county hospital, and he needed money for everything, and was hospitalized for infusions. In just a few days, his family was wiped out, and he also borrowed dozens of dollars in foreign debt.

Now that her illness has not been cured and she has no money, Yang Heiwa has nowhere to go, so she can only come to his mother to ask for the 200 yuan that was originally taken away.

At first he asked to borrow money, but the old lady refused and called him stupid, because he was in debt for a girl's movie. With this money, it would be better to divorce and marry another daughter-in-law who can give birth to a son.

Yang Heiwa refused to listen, and blocked the door with a knife in a hurry. The first time the old lady was frightened, she paid 20 yuan and almost fainted from the distress.

It didn’t work this time, but the old lady gave the money that time, and she was complained when she turned back. Both her son and daughter-in-law said she was stupid, saying that Yang Heiwa didn’t dare to do anything. He is a soldier, and soldiers can’t hurt ordinary people.

Grandma Yang thinks this makes sense, she gave birth to her son, and she understands that Yang Heiwa is an honest leader, not as calm as his brother and not as flexible as his brother, only others bully him, how can he follow him? Others do it.

So this time Yang Heiwa wanted to come to ask for money, but Fourth Nanny Yang didn't follow her.

Block the door with a knife?

The old lady lay down on the ground and yelled loudly: "Chop it up, chop it up, chop your old lady up if you have the ability!"

As for Mr. Yang and Mr. Yang, they simply hid at home and did not show up at all.

Yang Heiwa was forced to collapse. A man who bleeds but not tears, a man with a crippled leg and a straight body, knelt on the ground and wailed loudly.

What should I do, the little girl is lying in the hospital waiting for life-saving money, he is a worthless father, he has no money to treat the baby!

Some of the surrounding villagers couldn't bear it, but their own families were also having a hard time. Generally, in this situation, relatives borrowed more and friends borrowed less.

However, Yang Heiwa's brothers didn't want to raise any money. On the contrary, some in the village got along well with his family, and they borrowed dozens of pieces.

Don't feel bad, their village is poor, and in the early years they were so poor that they had to flee famine. Many boys in the village couldn't get a wife. It's just been a little better these years.

Now I don't know how much money Baoya needs to cure her disease. If I borrow this time, what about the next time?

With red eyes, Yang Heiwa roared hoarsely: "I'm selling the house, who will buy my house?"

The dilapidated huts in the village had completely collapsed, and the house was sold, leaving the family with no place to live.

Moreover, the houses in the country are not worth much, and people would rather save some materials to build them by themselves, because the villagers help each other and no labor is required.

Yang Heiwa has lived in this house for several years, and it was originally a mud house with crushed stones, so it cannot be sold for a high price.

Sure enough, very few in the village were interested.

Those who have money to build a house are embarrassed to open their mouths. If they have less money, they seem to be bullying others, and they are not happy to suffer from this loss if they are given too much.

Let alone those without money.

At this time, Yang Laosan came out of the house, overjoyed and said: "I will buy your house for ten yuan, hurry up, and I will give you the money when you move out."

He had already taken a fancy to his second brother's house. Although it was a mud house, crushed stones were added inside, and the building was solid.

The people in the village were in an uproar, and several village elders immediately cursed, saying that Yang Laosan was nothing.

No matter how cheap Yang Heiwa's house is, it was a waste of money and effort. If you really want to sell a three and a half room house, it's not a problem to sell it for 80 yuan.

Yang Laosan took advantage of the fire to rob, and wanted to send him away for ten yuan.

After being scolded by the village elders, who are all elders, Yang Laosan didn't dare to answer back, and cursed a few obscenities in his heart, reluctantly said: "Then I will add ten yuan to you, 20 yuan."

Some villagers couldn't see it, and just wanted to say that they bought it with their own money, anyway, it paid more than Yang Laosan.

Suddenly a child shouted: "The postman is here, the postman is here."

Someone helped to shout: "There is a letter from Yang Heiwa, sent from other provinces, take a look!"

Yang Heiwa was pulled up in a daze, and a letter was stuffed in her hand.

"Hei Wa, quickly read the letter."

"That's right, read the letter quickly, it might be some good news."

Everyone urged, Yang Heiwa threw the hatchet and tore open the envelope with trembling fingers.

"What is written in this letter?"

"I don't know, I can't read?"

"Hei Wa knows it, let him read it."

"Hei Wa, think about it."

Yang Heiwa stared at the letter for a while, then said at a loss, "I don't recognize it all."

He has never read a book, but he took a literacy class in the army and knew more than 20 characters. Among a group of illiterates in the village, he was considered to be able to read.

"Let Wen Gen come."

"Yes, let him come."

Everyone gave up a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, who had the highest level of education in their village and had graduated from junior high school.

Yang Wengen took the letter and began to read:

"...I am fine. Company Commander Chen introduced me to a job. In the provincial capital, the owner is a nice person. The work is not tiring. Food and housing are included. Meat is provided every day. Clothes for the four seasons are also distributed. The wages are not short, and the salary is paid monthly. release..."

"The new store of the main family is opening and needs to recruit people. I recommend you. The main family has agreed. If you wish to come, you will be paid 50 yuan a month..."

The scene was quiet, and the sound of someone swallowing saliva and a gurgling sound were particularly obvious.

"50 yuan? Wengen, are you reading it wrong?"

"Is it a year?"

"Fifty a year, including food, lodging and clothes, that's fine!" They cultivate the land all year round, and besides eating for themselves, the rest can be sold for less than 50 yuan.

"Is it fake, a lie?" Some people still can't believe such a good thing.

"Cheating? What are you lying to? If a big girl has to be vigilant, how can she make money by tricking a cripple like Hei Wa?"

"Oh yes..."

At this time, Yang Wengen had recovered from the shock, and quickly held up the letter to explain: "I'm not mistaken, it's 50 yuan a month, and this letter is sent from the provincial capital. Look, there is an address on the back. There is a phone number..."

"What's the phone number?"

"The phone number is..." Yang Wengen was stunned, he didn't know how to explain it, and he didn't call.

"The phone number is what you need to make a call, and you can find people only if you have a number." Yang Heiwa said with a trembling voice, how many years he had been a soldier outside, and he heard more than people in the village.

He stared at the life-saving letter, his eyes were filled with hope.

He knew that the post office in the county had a telephone, and if he called, he could contact his former good brothers.

I originally thought that the comrades-in-arms were having a hard time, so no matter how difficult the family was, I never opened my mouth to them.

But now that the little girl is waiting for medical treatment, she can only borrow some from her comrade-in-arms shamelessly. He will definitely pay back the money. If the master really wants to have him as a cripple, he will definitely be able to pay back the money at [-] a month.

Even if the owner doesn't want him, he and his wife will open up a few more acres of wasteland and work hard to earn money, and the debt will definitely be paid off!

"Uncle Wu, lend me two yuan, and I'll call the county seat. Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back!"

The village head hesitated for a moment, but he could afford to borrow two yuan. In fact, his family had already lent Yang Heiwa a few yuan to treat Baoya's illness.

And according to what was written in the letter just now, Hei Wa still has a bright future in the future, and he might be useful in the future by offering his favor.

As for whether the letter was fake or not, he could still tell. The main reason was that Yang Wengen was his grandson, and it was impossible for his grandson to deceive people together with Yang Heiwa.

"Heiwa, don't worry, we'll make it up for you. You go to the county seat and pay Baoya's hospitalization fee by the way. Let's last for a few days."

Other villagers who reacted also quickly said: "Yes, let's all get together."

"Poor Baoya, we uncles and aunts who watched the baby grow up, how can we ignore it."

"What I'm talking about is that my family still has more than two yuan, which was saved to buy clothes for the baby. First, I will treat Baoya's illness."

"My family can also pay two yuan."

"My family can pay three yuan."

You said a word to me, and in a blink of an eye, I collected dozens of dollars.

It wasn't that she was so heartless before that she didn't want to help. Baoya's illness didn't know how much it would cost, and Yang Heiwa and his wife would be able to pay off the money in what year and month.

Those who borrowed money at the beginning were already prepared for the money not to come back.

But now it's different, Yang Heiwa and his comrades introduced him to work, fifty a month!After working for a year, no amount of debt will be paid off.

Yang Heiwa's eyes were red, and she kept thanking her.

Fourth Grandma Yang and her two sons were dumbfounded, what's going on, why did such a letter come all of a sudden.

50 yuan a month!God, why did all the good things fall on Yang Heiwa's head!

Boss Yang pushed his old lady hard and winked. Fourth Nai Yang was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, rushed over and hissed: "You don't need to borrow, I don't want your money, our family has money, Baoya is My granddaughter, I will give her money for medical treatment!"

With 50 yuan a month, Yang Heiwa has a salary again. If the relationship is not repaired now, how can I ask Yang Heiwa for money in the future.

There was deep resentment hidden in Yang Heiwa's eyes, but her face had returned to calm.

He said coldly: "If you want to say that, first return the subsidy you took from me, and I will see a doctor for Bao Ya."

Grandma Yang was in pain: "Why do you want so much, what kind of disease is it, isn't it just a fever..."

Yang Heiwa sneered: "Forget it."

Then he turned to look at other villagers: "Everyone knows me, I, Yang Heiwa, have no skills, but I will repay my kindness, in the future..."

"Give it!" Fourth Nanny Yang grabbed him.

The old lady has a long-term plan, and if she pays some money now, she can ask for more later.

Fifty a month, six hundred that year, a bargain!

Of course, the best thing is to let Heiwa give up this job to his elder brother or younger brother. Both of them have good legs and feet, so they are better than Yang Heiwa.

As for who to give it to, Fourth Grandma Yang hasn't figured it out yet, whoever pleases her with the two sons, let her go.

In order to have more money, Mrs. Yang reluctantly gave over 120 yuan to Yang Heiwa, all of which was the subsidy she asked for from Yang Heiwa back then, and the rest was used up.

Wanting to bargain, Yang Heiwa ignored her as soon as she had this intention, and there were villagers waiting to give Yang Heiwa favors.

When Yang Heiwa got the money, she was not in a hurry to repay the debt, and she didn't know how much the little girl needed, so she couldn't let go of the money.

He was in a hurry to go to the county town to pay the hospital bill and make a phone call. Grandma Yang chased after him and shouted, "Hei Wa, remember, it was your mother who paid Bao Ya, it was me!"

Boss Yang and San Yang chased after him and shouted: "Second brother, and us, we are the mothers we persuaded!"

Yang Heiwa walked hurriedly, her eyes full of sarcasm.

The money originally belonged to him. At the beginning, he was the one who was stupid, cared about the relationship between mother and child, and distributed his subsidy, so that his daughter was sick and had no money to treat her.

With more than 100 yuan hidden in his hand, but watching his daughter die, he doesn't recognize such a mother.
