What kind of job? Go home and farm!
Chapter 12 Taking Back the Land
The village chief did not hide his impatience at all, and he announced in front of everyone: "Xia Jianguo, Xia Jianmin, you borrowed Xia Jianjun's land eighteen years ago, and it's time to return it after borrowing it for so long.
Today, I will come forward to take back these four acres of land for Jianjun's family. You should sell the crops on the land as soon as possible. The sweet potatoes can be harvested at this time, so it won't be a waste. Do you have any objections to this decision?"
Xia Jianguo and Xia Jianmin are men after all, and their faces are not as thick as their wives.
Huang Chunhua immediately refused to accept the offer: "What's the point of borrowing or not? The land is mine in my hands. Why should I pay it back?"
Xu Hongying also quickly agreed: "Sister-in-law is right. We have been farming for so many years. Why is sister-in-law so stingy? She wants to die for these few acres of land."
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. Shen Shufen had already stood up with the help of several women. She immediately shouted at Xu Hongying:
"Xu Hongying, what do you mean by I want to live or die? Also, if you are so generous, why don't you give your ten acres of land to my family?"
The village chief saw that they were about to quarrel again, so he quickly shouted at Huang Chunhua and Xu Hongying: "Shut up, the two of you. I didn't come here today to listen to your arguments. Do as I say about borrowing Jianjun's land. I will give you one month to dig up the sweet potatoes.
If you don't do what I say, Ning will sue you for illegally occupying other people's land. I won't care because it's not me who will go to jail anyway."
"Okay, that's it. You two should get out of here right away. You've lived for decades in vain, always thinking about taking advantage of others. It's getting dark, so why don't you all go home? What's the point of crowding in someone else's yard?"
The village chief took a tough stance and did not give Huang Chunhua and Xu Hongying a chance to speak. He simply drove them out.
Xia Jianguo and Xia Jianmin were so embarrassed that they took their wives and left.
Everyone left one after another. Wang Lan quietly pulled Xia Ning and told her to comfort Shen Shufen.
Xia Ning agreed readily and sent her out.
The village chief was about to go back, but Xia Ning stopped him and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, thank you so much for today. Are you thirsty? Do you want to go in and have a drink of water?"
The village chief waved his hand and said, "No, my wife is waiting for me to go back for dinner."
After hearing what the village chief said, Xia Ning gave up. She had originally wanted to talk to the village chief about contracting the mountain land, but now it seemed she would have to talk about it another day.
After everyone had left, Xia Ning remembered to care about Shen Shufen, "Mom, did you fall badly just now? Does it hurt? How about going to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?"
Shen Shufen's eyes were still red and she looked extremely pitiful. She brushed off the dust on her body.
"It's okay. Why go to the hospital and waste money?"
Look how kind her mother is. If it were Huang Chunhua, she would have asked for compensation a long time ago.
However, they cannot be soft-hearted in the future. It’s okay for them to give in in the past, but if they continue to be like a dough that allows others to knead it, they will definitely suffer for the rest of their lives.
Xia Ning clenched her fists. They’d better not mess with her in the future, otherwise don’t blame her for being ruthless.
"Mom, we were poor before, and I understand why you didn't want to spend money on medical treatment, but now we have money, and a checkup doesn't cost much, so don't worry about money anymore.
Besides, you just fell and got hurt, and although it seems that there is no problem, if it is delayed for a long time and becomes more serious, it will cost more money, wouldn’t you feel more distressed about the money? "
Xia Ning tried her best to persuade Shen Shufen, and finally Shen Shufen agreed to go for a check-up.
So they went to bed early after taking a bath, as they had to get up early the next day.
However, before going to bed, Xia Ning had already bought the train ticket. She bought the earliest train so that she could go to the hospital early. If she went late, she was afraid that people would have gotten off work.
The next day, Xia Ning was awakened by the alarm clock. After she washed up, she found that Shen Shufen had already gotten up.
"Get up! I'll cook some noodles for you. We'll set off after we finish eating." Shen Shufen was originally sitting in the hall. When she saw Xia Ning come out, she got up and cooked noodles for her.
It was already six o'clock when Xia Ning finished her noodles. It was still dark at this time, but it did not affect the mother and daughter from waiting for the bus.
They had to take a coach to town to catch the train.
The road leading to the town from Dapo Village is really dilapidated and has not been repaired for several years. The more than ten kilometers of road is covered with potholes of various sizes. The car is very bumpy and makes people jump.
Why hasn't the government repaired this road yet? If the road were flat, it wouldn't take so long to get to town.
Both Xia Ning and Shen Shufen suffer from motion sickness, but Xia Ning's condition is not as serious. However, it is different for Shen Shufen, especially because she is old and cannot do it well, and her spirit is not as good as that of young people.
After more than two hours of hard work, Xia Ning finally brought Shen Shufen to the city hospital. Seeing the unhappy Shen Shufen, Xia Ning felt distressed. She asked Shen Shufen to sit on a chair while she went to register.
After a busy day, Xia Ning took Shen Shufen to do a series of examinations and decided to go home only after the results came out.
When the test results came out, Shen Shufen said calmly, "I told you, there's no problem. You little bitch, you insisted on spending this money."
She gave a tired smile, and although she was saying words of blame, her relaxed tone revealed her good mood.
"Mom, you said you were fine, but the doctor said you have anemia and are weak. You shouldn't overwork or worry too much."
Xia Ning insisted, "Mom, don't farm anymore. If you really can't do it, just farm the land in the yard. Your health is the most important thing. If you exhaust yourself, Xiao Feng and I will be worried."
"It's okay, I'm fine. How can I be so delicate? I don't farm. How can rural people not farm?"
"Hey, Mom, let's go eat something first. I'm hungry. We'll go back after we finish eating and we'll be able to catch the last bus."
Having been busy from 8 o'clock in the morning to 4 o'clock, Xia Ning was already starving.
Xia Ning took Shen Shufen into a restaurant. After satisfying their hunger, Xia Ning and Shen Shufen took the last bus back.
On the way back, Shen Shufen was in a much better mood. She was not as reluctant as when she came. The best news was that she had no problems.
After all, everyone wants to have a healthy body.
Just like before, the mother and daughter took a quick shower and went to bed after arriving home. After a busy day, both mother and daughter were very tired.
Both mother and daughter slept soundly and finally felt relieved.
The grape vines in the yard grew lushly and even sparkled in the moonlight, as if looking forward to the arrival of dawn.
