Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Being rejected by a little maid, Mr. Zhang was unhappy and wanted to use force to make the matter a fait accompli.

When Zhou's mother was struggling and calling for help, she was rescued by Zhou's father who was passing by. As a result, she offended Mr. Zhang and was beaten and kicked out of the Zhang family. All her wages were withheld.

The wages that Zhou's father had saved were also confiscated.

Zhou's mother was worried that something might happen to Zhou's father as he was injured and penniless, so she asked the mistress of the house for two days of leave. She then used her own salary to find a place for Zhou's father to live and hired a doctor to help with his treatment.

In the following time, whenever Zhou's mother was free, she would go out to visit Zhou's father. After a while, the two of them had feelings for each other.

After Zhou's father recovered from his injury, he made a living by doing odd jobs. Zhou's mother would visit him every now and then, bringing him delicious food or helping him mend his clothes.

One day, Zhou's mother found Zhou's father with a basket on her back and asked him if he was willing to marry her.

Zhou's father was more than happy to accept the offer, but was afraid that Zhou's mother would suffer with him, so he did not dare to answer for a while.

Zhou's mother guessed his concerns, opened the bag in the backpack, and told Zhou's father: "The Zhang family was robbed by a group of bandits, and Mr. Zhang and his wife were all shot to death. I hid in the chaos and escaped.

Part of the money in this backpack is my salary over the past few years and the tips from my wife, and the rest is the private money that the master secretly saved up, which he intended to use for the women he kept outside.

The master hid the money under some broken bricks in the dog hole in the backyard, and I discovered it by accident. Before I had time to report it to my wife, something happened to the Zhang family.

I just escaped through the dog hole and took the money with me to prevent it from falling into the hands of those gangsters.

With this money, we can live a stable life in the countryside and no longer have to be bullied or have to look at other people’s faces.”

Father Zhou looked at the backpack filled with a bundle of silver dollars and jewelry and was in a daze for a long time.

The county town was becoming more and more chaotic, with armies and bandits often robbing wealthy families or capturing able-bodied men. Now that Zhou's father and mother were no longer short of money, they returned to Zhoujiawan together.

Zhou's father wanted to buy more than ten acres of land, but was stopped by Zhou's mother, who said that they were just working as helpers in other people's homes and it was normal that the wages were only enough to make a living.

If they suddenly show off so much money, it will arouse the jealousy of their fellow villagers. Everyone will also suspect where their money comes from, and they will never have a peaceful life in the future.

Zhou's father thought what Zhou's mother said made sense, so he did not buy the land.

Like everyone else, they rented land from people who had more land, and then applied for a residential site from the village, saying that they wanted to build three mud brick houses as their wedding houses.

The foundation of adobe houses in the countryside is usually made of stones from the mountains, with one-meter-high blue or red brick walls built on the ground to prevent rain erosion, and the rest of the house is made of self-made adobe.

You can go to the mountains to cut wood for building houses and making furniture. Zhoujiawan has its own mountain, so just say hello to the patriarch.

If there is any place to spend money, it is buying tiles and bricks. The helpers are usually brothers or relatives, and they just need to provide them with meals.

At the suggestion of Zhou's mother, Zhou's father told everyone about his being underpaid and said that he was short of money to build a house.

Not only did he borrow money from all his relatives, he also went to the head of the village and the clan leader to borrow some money.

The borrowed money was later repaid by Zhou's father through hunting and Zhou's mother through selling embroidery. It took two years to pay it back.

Although everyone envied Zhou's father for marrying a beautiful and capable wife, they felt a lot more balanced when they thought about how poor their family was.

Zhou's mother is a cautious person who doesn't like to show off. Whenever relatives or neighbors are in trouble, she will lend a hand to the best of her ability. Everyone thinks highly of her.

With the help of his good wife, Zhou's father's life became better and better. Not only did he have many children, but he also had a good reputation in the village.

After Qingping County was liberated, many people in the village went out to do business or made some money through hunting, and would buy land after returning to the village.

During the land reform two years ago, they were all assigned identities according to the policy. There were many landlords and peasants in Zhoujiawan.

Zhou's father hunted and helped people slaughter pigs, and Zhou's mother took her three daughters to do embroidery. Although they made some money, in the eyes of outsiders, all the money was borrowed by the Yang family. Moreover, the Zhou family had no land under their name, so they were all poor peasants.

Thanks to Zhou's mother's "foresight", the Zhou family has lived a smooth life over the years.

Unfortunately, she couldn't beat Yang Yaodi's golden finger.

After the original owner got divorced, Zhou's mother went to the Yang family to ask for an explanation, which offended Yang Yaodi, who silently made a wish that Zhou's mother and everyone in Zhoujiawan would have a miserable death.

After the people's commune movement began, Zhou's mother was required to work in the fields with other women.

I don’t know if it’s due to the influence of the times or Yang Yaodi’s golden finger.

At that time, the wife of the Zhoujiawan production team leader was jealous of Zhou's mother's appearance and gossiped about her in front of her husband every day.

It is said that Zhou's mother has the airs of a rich lady. She is in her forties or fifties, but she is treated like a delicate girl and never works in the fields. If other women follow her example, they will not have to work in the fields anymore.

The production team leader was annoyed by the nagging, and he overheard Zhou Jiaguang bragging to others that his family had a lot of gold, silver and treasures, enough for him even if he didn't work for the rest of his life.

The production team leader thought that Zhou Jiaguang would not say such a thing for no reason, and that the Zhou family must have hidden money, so he decided to steal the money from the Zhou family.

He deliberately assigned the dirtiest and most tiring work to Zhou's father and mother, hoping to force them to bribe him.

Things like carrying manure, digging pond mud, and repairing reservoirs were all assigned to Zhou's father and mother. They could not leave work until the assigned tasks were completed, and their work points were often deducted for no reason.

In just two years, Zhou's mother became haggard and exhausted, and died in her early 50s.

Zhou's father was not much better off. He was ill from years of unfair labor and was filled with resentment. When Zhou's mother passed away, he also followed her.

During the ten-year special period, the production team leader found an excuse to raid Zhou's house, secretly hid all the money they obtained, and also assigned identities to the three brothers Zhou Jiahua, making them suffer untold hardships.

Zhou Rong felt extremely regretful when she thought of the plot in the book. Now that Yang Yaodi's jade pendant had been confiscated by her, she hoped that everything would develop in a good direction.

Regarding the question from Zhou's mother, Zhou Rong said: "Yang Jinlin's heart is not on me and the children. There is no point in continuing to live with him. I don't want to live with him anymore.

You also know that I haven't had a good life in the Yang family over the years. Erniu's grandparents are not easy to get along with. They always take money from my parents-in-law in front of me. I have suffered all the grievances in the Yang family that I have never suffered in the Zhou family.

Look at my complexion, I have aged so much. If I continue to stay in the Yang family, in a few years, when I stand next to my mother, people will definitely say that I look older than her. "

Father Zhou sighed and said, "Which daughter-in-law doesn't suffer injustice?

Take our Zhoujiawan for example. When the parents-in-law are still alive, the daughter-in-law has to serve them carefully, otherwise she will be reported to the village chief or clan leader and will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall.

Marriage is not a joke. A divorced woman will be gossiped about everywhere she goes, and her life will not be easy.

Just be patient. When Yang Kaiyun and Mrs. Fang are unable to move or die, you will be able to get through this.

Yang Jinlin has finally made it big. Your best days are ahead of you. Don’t give up at this critical moment.”

Zhou Rong said: "I bought a book at a bookstall when I was at the market before the New Year. There was a sentence in the book that I thought made a lot of sense.

It says that in marriage, men are more realistic than women, and they will only make choices that are best for themselves.

Love, family affection and friendship are worthless in the face of their ambitions and interests.

You have underestimated Yang Jinlin's ambition. In his eyes, nothing is more important than his future.

It is a fact that I cannot help him in the officialdom, and he will not change his mind about divorce.

Forcing them together will not lead to good results.

Mother, I remember you said that if you can't hold the sand, you might as well throw it away.

You also said that since people’s eyes are in the front, they should always look forward.

I have two hands, and I can do whatever others can do. I believe I can live a good life. "
