The old lady sighed for a long time before she explained the whole story clearly.
The old man's surname was Hu, and his son's name was Hu Lianzhi. He did not get into university after graduating from high school, so he started doing odd jobs outside. Later, after being introduced by others, he joined Big Head Jiang's stone farm in the middle of last autumn.
"Bighead Ginger?" You Qingzhi was shocked, his expression very surprised.
" Yeah…" The old lady sighed.
Chumang looked at You Qingzhi, then at the old lady and asked,""What's wrong? You know this person?"
You Qingzhi nodded." He's Blackhills Town's biggest ruffian. Do you think we can get paid to work for him?"”
The old lady took out a wrinkled handkerchief from her lapel and wiped her dry eye sockets."I couldn't take it. That child was suffering from old age. They didn't let him sleep and took turns to look after him. In the end, the child was so sleepy that he agreed.”
Chumang seemed to have heard of such a thing for the first time. She gritted her teeth in anger and said hatefully,""Then, won't the police station do anything?"
"The child's father went to the police station to reason with him, but the police didn't care. They even told Big Head Jiang about it. Then, those people drove the old man into the ditch.”
Chu Mang was furious. His face was red and his chest was heaving. He clenched his fists and said,""I don't believe that there won't be justice."
"What happened after that?" You Qingzhi asked.
They asked my son to load the car and follow the car. They didn't let my son sit in the building (driver's seat) when they loaded the stones in the car. They let him sit outside. Later, when the car turned a corner, my son was thrown out. The poor child fell like a bloody gourd.
At this point, the old lady began to cry. Her tears had already dried up, and only her snot was flowing down. When Chumang heard about this, she was so sad that tears started to fall.
"Where did he break it?"
"His head, the doctor said. He's a paper man.”
You Qingzhi knew that she was talking about a vegetable."No wonder his son didn't react when his father was kicked all over the courtyard.”She asked with regret,"Didn't you go for treatment?”
"Where's the money? Just like that, he even spent 50,000 yuan, all borrowed from door to door.”
"That's not right. Big Head Jiang should be paying for this.”
"Him? If only he had a conscience. He didn't even pay them. If the old man went to ask for it, they would fight for it.”
"Sue them in court."
"The court said there was no evidence."
At this moment, Chumang was already pacing around the room in anger. You Qingzhi also clenched his fists.
The old lady sighed and continued,""The child was not cured and we owed 50,000 yuan. We didn't have a way to earn money, so the old man went up the mountain in the middle of winter to pick some fungus. He didn't even rest on the first day of the new year. He wanted to sell it so that he could pay off his debts.”
"What's wrong? He didn't dare to let them watch him pick fungus?”Chumang said in surprise.
"Of course. Bighead Ginger said that in this area, no matter who picked the fungus, they must sell it to him. Otherwise, they are not allowed to go up the mountain to pick the fungus.”
"Too arrogant." You Qingzhi stood up angrily.
"Then sell it to him." Chumang didn't understand what was going on.
"The price he offered was too low. Now, the supply and marketing cooperative is offering 15 yuan per catty. The second-hand peddler is offering 16 yuan, but he only gave 10 yuan.”Qing Zhi answered on behalf of the old lady.
"Then sell it to a second-hand trafficker." Chumang took it for granted.
"The second-hand traffickers were beaten away by him.”
To think that there was such a domineering person in this world. This was simply beyond the scope of Chumang's understanding.
"This morning, the old man went to the mountain to dig out two taels of black vegetables (wood ears). When he came back, he had just walked into the courtyard when they bumped into him and forced him to sell it to them. The old man refused to give it to them no matter what.”
Chumang bit her lips and didn't say anything. No one knew what she was thinking about, but Qing Zhi suddenly thought of something and asked,""Then, auntie, didn't you go to the town's civil administration to ask them for relief?”
"Civil affairs? Humph!" When the old woman heard this, she snorted and said,""I went to find my assistant. The assistant said that this matter had to be approved by Mayor Ma. I went to Mayor Ma several times, but he didn't approve it. His brother-in-law's family drove a four-wheeled motorcycle and even gave him subsidies.”
The old man, who was lying on the brick bed and panting for a long time, finally recovered some strength. He coughed and the old lady immediately shut her mouth.
Seeing that the old man was wary of the two of them, You Qingzhi did not say anything more. He took out the remaining 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old lady. The old lady refused to accept it no matter what. Seeing this, Chumang became anxious. She took out 200 yuan from her pocket and placed it in the old lady's hand. After repeatedly refusing, the old lady accepted it and the two of them left.
It was already noon. You Qingzhi was in a difficult position. He had just started work and had not received his salary yet. He had given the old lady the only 20 yuan he had. It was time to eat. He could not let Chumang starve with him. After thinking about it, he decided to borrow some money from Li Dongmin.
"Let's eat. I'm hungry," Chumang said.”As he spoke, he held You Qingzhi's arm with both hands and walked towards the street.
You Qingzhi became uneasy. He could not refuse to go, nor could he say that he had no money. He walked back hesitantly, thinking of countermeasures as he walked.
After walking for about ten minutes, they had already reached the street. You Qingzhi said with a red face,""Wait a minute. I have something to do at work. Wait for me.”
"Is there anything else important in the unit?" Chumang asked with a stern face. I'm hungry."
You Qingzhi's head was big and his breathing was uneven. He was so anxious.
He turned around and saw that Chumang was looking at him with a half-smile and winking mischievously.
He felt even more embarrassed."What is this girl up to?”
Just as he was thinking, the servant girl made a gesture toward his pocket. Qing Zhi reached into his pocket in confusion. What was inside the tentacle? He took it out and saw that it was a wad of money.
You Qingzhi's heart felt warm. What a good girl. She knew that she was short of money and had no money on hand, so she secretly gave herself some money. He knew that men cared about their reputation, so she didn't pay for it herself. He gave the money to You Qingzhi so that he could maintain his reputation.
You Qingzhi's heart was boiling, but he said,""Ah, I picked up some money. I'll spend this money first. When I find the owner, I'll return it to him.”He said this as a way of expressing his stance. He did not want to spend a woman's money, but there was really no other way now, so he could only say it openly.
Chumang knew what he was thinking and curled her lips.""Yes, I agree."
The two of them held hands and walked into a restaurant. As soon as they entered, they realized that something was wrong. There were more than 20 people in the room, and the three boys who had been beaten up by him were also in the room.
They were eyeing You Qingzhi and the beautiful Chu Mang beside him.
