Xie Changzheng knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would easily make others question his moral standards, which was not a good thing for him who still wanted to fight in the military camp, so he didn’t mind digging up old accounts and let all the elders present serve as witnesses for him.
Even if the people of the Xie family were going to use this matter to attack him in the future, he would be able to prove his innocence when the army sent people to investigate.
“You said my two brothers’ families were in financial difficulty, so from the first day I joined the army, all my allowances were handed over to you. Even after I married Chunxiu and had a child named Ah Wu, it was no exception.”
“The amount I sent home increased from 18 yuan a month in the beginning to 86 yuan a month later. Over the past ten years, I have sent at least 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. I can say with a thick face that the reason this family can live such a comfortable life is largely due to me, right?”
Several elders on the side nodded.
Everyone is working in the fields to make a living. The conditions of each household vary slightly depending on the amount of labor.
While every household is barely able to fill their stomachs, the Xie family is able to send several children to study in the county town, and Xie Xiuzhu, the daughter, can even get a new set of clothes tailored every quarter.
These are definitely not something that can be satisfied with the work points they are allocated.
So what Xie Changzheng said was right. The good life of the Xie family really depended on him.
“Over the years, our family has built a beautiful red brick house. My younger sister occupies two rooms by herself, but my wife and daughter still live in the old house that has never been demolished. Mother, you spend my money but treat my wife and daughter badly. Do you really love me?”
Xie Changzheng walked to the door of the main hall and pointed to the slightly shabby old house on the other side of the yard. There was even some sadness in his voice.
“Isn’t the house good? Why can’t people live in it? Besides, Xu Chunxiu is a rich peasant’s child, a bad seed. Does she deserve to live in a good house? If you had listened to me and married a girl with a clean family, I would have let her live in a red brick house.”
Seeing the strange looks from the elders around her, Miao Fengmei’s face flushed with embarrassment, and then she yelled at Xie Changzheng in anger.
“What’s more, she has been married to you for more than ten years, and she only gave birth to a girl. What right does she have to eat well, dress well, and live well? She doesn’t deserve it!”
Miao Fengmei argued that she could provide Xu Chunxiu with a house to live in and food to eat, so she was not treating her unfairly. He didn’t even look at how many daughters-in-law in the village were bullied by their mothers-in-law and beaten day and night.
“Zhuzi’s wife, this is where you are wrong.”
An elder of the Miao family spoke up.
In fact, before this, they all knew that Miao Fengmei was a little partial and treated Xie Changzheng’s wife and daughter badly, but that was also the Xie family’s family affairs, and there were many mothers-in-law in the village who were even worse than Miao Fengmei, so they were too lazy to meddle in the Xie family’s affairs.
But now that Xie Changzheng pointed out this problem, the elders who were listening also realized that there was something wrong.
The money for the Xie family to build the house was all earned by Xie Changzheng. It didn’t make sense that Xie Changzheng’s two brothers and one younger sister who made no contribution to the family lived in a magnificent red brick house while his wife and child still lived in a cramped old house.
This was too partial and too bullying.
“Mom, in the past ten years, I have only spent so many days at home. If Chunxiu gave birth to eight or nine children for me, wouldn’t you suspect that Chunxiu was unfaithful to me and suspected that she was having an affair?”
Xie Changzheng said disappointedly.
Giving birth is not Xu Chunxiu’s business alone. Miao Fengmei made a fuss about the fact that Xu Chunxiu only gave birth to a daughter for him, but at the same time, she did not allow Xu Chunxiu to bring the child with the army.
If he thought about it carefully, it seemed that Miao Fengmei actually did not want Xu Chunxiu to have another grandson from the bottom of her heart so that she could use this incident to completely control their family.
Even though he was disappointed with his biological mother, Xie Changzheng didn’t want to think so badly of this biological mother who once truly loved him.
“This time, my younger sister asked Ah Wu to go to the back hillside to pick fruits for her, which caused Ah Wu to fall and hurt her head, but you didn’t let Chunxiu take Ah Wu to the hospital for treatment and insisted on delaying until the wound on Ah Wu’s head became inflamed. Did you know that the doctor said that if Chunxiu had sent the child a step later, my daughter might have died?”
Xie Changzheng’s voice was extremely angry.
“I only have one daughter, and there may be only one in the future. If anything happens to Ah Wu, I will really be childless. Mother, do you really love me?”
This was the second time Xie Changzheng repeated this question.
