Chapter 182: Becoming a Blackmail Tool in the 7th Generation (5)
"That's true, but don't you feel bad about having so much food?"
"I feel bad, so I plan to go to Lao Liu's house soon. They're not good people anyway."
Little Orange grumbled. "You talk like you're a good person."
Both of them rolled their eyes at him. "Nonsense! When did I ever say I was a good person?"
Wu Youjia waited until the Liu family took Chen Dabao and Chen Zaohua away before he said this to Shuangshuang.
“When grain was distributed, not all work points were counted.
At the end of the year, we will distribute meat and grain once more. I'll have someone come and inform you then."
"Thank you, uncle!"
These originally belonged to them, so Shuangshuang didn't hesitate.
Shuangshuang still has about 800 kilograms of rice, more than 200 kilograms of corn, more than 1,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and a small number of beans.
We had to borrow a cart from the village to load it all.
Li Zhongyi and his father each pulled a cart, and both pushed the cart from behind, watching out for it to fall off.
Before leaving, the uncle said to Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, when the time comes, your aunt will collect and dry the vegetables from the private plot. Come and get them."
When the cousin looked at the sturdy furniture in the house, he felt that he was taking advantage of Shuangshuang, so he didn't plan to take those dishes.
Shuangshuang didn't bother to be polite with him and promised to come back and pick them next time.
He took one last look at the house and quickly followed the cart towards the village entrance.
It took another few hours to get back to Lijia Village. When Li's mother saw that Shuangshuang had brought back so much food, she was immediately surprised.
"Shuangmei, how did you get all the food back? Would your father's stepson and stepdaughter agree?"
"Mom, don't worry.
This grain was earned by my father and I, so naturally I have to take it back.
What do they want to do with me?
They are not my father's biological children, and were taken back to their grandparents' home."
Mother Li looked at Father Li and only believed it when she saw him nod slightly.
There was a sudden sigh, and no one knew what Wu Tiezhu was thinking.
They help others raise their children with all their heart, but treat their own children like grass.
In the end, isn't the child someone else's?
If he really has a spirit in heaven, I wonder if he would regret it.
I don’t know whether I will regret it or not, but I am sure I will be angry.
Wu Tiezhu and Liu Zhaodi always thought that the villagers were unaware of the dirty deeds going on between them.
Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, even Chen Dabao's surname was not changed.
They only agreed that after Chen Dabao gave birth to a child, he would change his surname to Wu.
But I didn't expect that Shuangshuang would take advantage of this loophole.
Two days passed without incident.
That night, Li's mother quietly knocked on Shuangshuang's door.
Shuangshuang opened the door and welcomed her in, and she said to Shuangshuang mysteriously.
"Shuangmei, do you want to sell some of the food you have?"
"Mom, we've just distributed the food, and who's left with nothing to eat?"
"No, no, it's someone from the educated youth camp.
Every year they would go to the village to buy some food and send it back home.
I see you brought so much food from your mother's house, and you can't finish it.
It would be better to sell it and get some cash to keep for emergencies."
Shuangshuang had never thought about selling grain, but since Li's mother was kind enough to arrange it for her, she asked.
“How much do they buy per pound?”
"The market price here is 5 cents for rice, cents for corn, and sweet potatoes are quite cheap, only cents per pound."
Shuangshuang secretly calculated in her mind that it could be sold for a few hundred yuan.
So he nodded readily. "Okay, how much do you think they want? Just come and get it."
When Li's mother saw that Shuangshuang agreed, she quickly went out to meet someone.
It was not until the second half of the night that several young men wearing white shirts and black trousers, who looked different from the villagers, gently knocked on the Li family's door.
Mother Li just smiled at the visitor without saying a word and took him to where the grain was stored.
Those people didn't say anything. They just shone their flashlights on the grain, then nodded and started weighing it.
He didn't take Shuangshuang's sweet potatoes, but only took her 800 kilograms of rice and 200 kilograms of corn.
Shuangshuang took the 280 yuan and sighed inwardly. This was the result of the farmers' hard work for a year.
Of course, it is really impossible to sell so much, we have to leave some food for the whole family.
Li's mother also sold 1,000 kilograms of rice, and they both looked at the remaining 500 to 600 kilograms of rice in the warehouse.
I sighed inwardly. No wonder even though Li Manyi sent money back every month, the Li family still couldn't just eat white rice.
After everyone left, Li's mother gave He Xiangcao and Shuangshuang each one hundred yuan.
"This is your share, you two put it away."
He Xiangcao put them away naturally, obviously she was used to dividing them this way before.
Shuangshuang refused, "Mom, I didn't earn any work points at home, I can't take this money."
"Here, here, even though you didn't earn a cent, the boss sent me money every month.
If it weren't for those things, our family wouldn't be living as well as it is now.
You have your own income, so you can buy whatever you want without asking me for money."
Father Li also advised, "You can take it, this is the rule of the family.
Only when the whole family works together can we get better and better."
He Xiangcao also advised, "Sister-in-law, just take it.
Mother has divided it this way since the second year since I got married."
Shuangshuang then took the money and said nothing more.
What I was thinking was to find an excuse to take out some pieces of cloth from the space.
Half a month later, another big thing happened.
Someone's house was robbed again, but this time the victim was the Liu family from the next brigade.
I heard that several thousand kilograms of grain and all the family’s money were lost.
In the entire warehouse, only a few fallen grains were left, lying there alone.
What's more, the thief was quite powerful. He even stole the private money of several daughters-in-law that they hid in the rat hole.
Everyone started discussing again, "I wonder how that thief could have stolen thousands of kilograms of food from their family without leaving a single grain behind?"
"The most important thing is that it's impossible to move thousands of kilograms of food all at once.
Are all the Liu family members dead? And no one noticed.
……
In an instant, everyone remembered the theft that the Wu family had mentioned before. The money was lost so quietly.
In an instant, everyone looked at Chen Zaohua and Chen Dabao with a strange look in their eyes.
Ever since Chen Zaohua and Chen Dabao moved to Old Liu's house.
Chen Dabao was fine, after all, he was a grandson, and the old lady always loved him very much.
Besides, his mother had already paid the tuition, so she didn't let him drop out of school.
But Chen Zaohua is different. In the eyes of Old Lady Liu, she is just a little girl. Why does she need to read so many books?
So they ordered her to drop out of school and kept her under surveillance every day, not allowing her to go to school.
Instead, they do housework at home and earn work points.
