The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 337: Situation of Each Family

"Mom and Dad, please go back. It's so hot today..."

The girl with a ponytail and wearing a white dress spoke to Zhao Dongchuan and Qin Jingru.

This girl is the daughter of Zhao Dongchuan and Qin Jingru in this world, Zhao Xinxin...

Today is the day she takes the college entrance examination.

At this time, they were at the gate of a middle school in Beijing, and there was a huge crowd of people outside.

Many parents came to the test site with their children, holding food and water, while the children held books to memorize some formulas before the test...

"Haha, we're not hot... We're about to enter the examination room... Let's check our admission tickets... stationery and so on..."

Zhao Dongchuan said with a chuckle.

"I've checked everything...no problem..."

"Jingle Bell!"

As a bell rang, the school gate slowly opened under the operation of the security guard.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going into the examination room... You guys can go back now, there's no need to wait for me outside..."

"okay……"

As the school gate opened, countless students walked into the examination room with their stationery bags...

Outside the school, parents looked worried.

"Let's go..."

"Master... shall we not wait?"

"Let's go wait in the car..."

……

Nanluoguxiang, No. 95, backyard.

Xu Damao walked out of the house in a rage.

"I'm not going to check it out...If you want to go, go by yourself..."

He cursed as he walked.

"You are such a bastard Xu Damao... you can't even have a baby... you've screwed me over for so many years..."

Yu Haitang's voice came from the house, followed by a burst of ping-pong sounds.

Apparently she was smashing something in there.

"It's you who can't have children...what does it have to do with me..."

Xu Damao didn't dare to go in and retorted outside the house.

When the residents in the courtyard heard the noise, they all opened their doors and peeked in to see what was going on.

Ever since Yu Haitang married into the Xu family, everything was fine in the first few years. Xu Damao took Yu Haitang out to eat, drink and have fun, and the two of them lived a very comfortable life.

But as time passed, the old problem that once happened to Lou Xiao'e happened again to Haitang.

Faced with the pressure from the two elders of the Xu family, the straightforward Yu Haitang naturally would not tolerate it and just angrily retorted.

But she was also anxious about this matter... Seeing He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye living happily with their two children, and seeing Zhao Dongchuan, who was much younger than her, having a daughter, Yu Haitang felt very uncomfortable.

If you reach middle age and have not had any more children, there is no hope after that.

She and Xu Damao tried various postures and various remedies...but nothing worked.

The policy changed a few years ago, and she even dragged Xu Damao to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha...but her belly didn't react at all.

Seeing that so many years had passed and she still had no children, her parents were very anxious.

She had previously suggested taking Xu Damao to the hospital for a check-up.

But Xu Damao refused to agree all these years, and there was nothing she could do.

This time she would take Xu Damao to the hospital no matter what.

……

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

Jia Zhang is still as plump and fair as ever, but with more wrinkles on her face...

Qin Huairu looked much more haggard than before...

Several people were sitting at the dining table eating. Huaihua and Xiaodang were eating with indifferent expressions and not saying a word.

After taking a few quick bites of rice, Huaihua put down her chopsticks.

"I'm stuffed……"

Then Xiao Dang also put down his chopsticks

"Mom, I'm full too... My sister and I will go out first..."

Qin Huairu didn't say anything either, just nodded lightly.

With the sound of a door closing, only Jia Zhang and she were left in the room, sitting opposite each other in silence.

"Ugh……"

Jia Zhang sighed.

"I don't know how my precious grandson is doing now..."

Since Banggeng ran away from home, the hospital has organized several large-scale searches, but no trace of him was found... After calling the police, there was still no news.

Just when everyone was worried, Bang Geng asked his friend to send a message back, saying that he and his friend were going south to do business.

Many years passed in a flash, and apart from sending letters and money home during the holidays, I never came back.

Qin Huairu couldn't hold back any longer at this moment, her eyes turned red and tears started to flow down.

"Oh, don't cry..."

Seeing Qin Huairu crying, Jia Zhang said with some annoyance.

"If I had known what would happen today, why would I do it in the first place?"

"What's the point of crying now... If you hadn't messed around, would your family be in this situation now?"

"If He Yuzhu hadn't taken pity on us and hired Huaihua and Xiaodang to work in his restaurant, who knows what would have become of our family..."

Jia Zhang picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

Qin Huairu was also furious when she saw Jia Zhangshi like this, and she threw the bowl...

"Now I'm going to say my fault... If I hadn't brought back the food... with that little salary, our family would have starved to death long ago..."

Jia Zhang's face froze and she stopped talking awkwardly.

She actually knew about this...but at the time, in order to have enough food and eat some fatty meat, she pretended not to know.

But now that the truth has been exposed, she can no longer remain deaf and dumb.

"Anyway, you did it... Banggeng has gone out and I don't know if he has found a wife yet. Huaihua and Xiaodang are getting married soon..."

Jia Zhang paused and stopped talking.

Qin Huairu knew what she meant. Now that she was influencing her, Huaihua and Xiaodang's marriage would probably encounter many twists and turns...

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

…………

Backyard, Liu's house.

Liu Haizhong and the second aunt sat opposite each other, eating their meals in silence.

"His father, the eldest brother..."

"Don't mention him to me...that unfilial son!"

Liu Haizhong angrily slammed the wine glass heavily on the table.

"We worked hard to send him to school, asked people to find him a job, and emptied our family savings to help him find a wife..."

"But how did he treat us... After he was transferred back to the capital, he didn't even come to see us. He watched the second and third brothers come to grab the house, and now he actually wants us to transfer the house to him..."

Liu Haizhong said that he couldn't eat anymore and threw away his chopsticks.

"Aren't you hoping that we will die soon?"

"Ugh………"

The second aunt also sighed, feeling very unhappy.

In the past, they only recognized the eldest son as their son and sent away the second and third sons because they had stutters. Now that they have grown up, they are very resentful towards Liu Haizhong and his wife and have never come back to see them after they got married.

"I'll just pretend I never gave birth to these sons..."

"What's the point of having so many sons?"

At this moment, Liu Haizhong still had no intention of reflecting on himself, and just kept blaming his sons for being disobedient.

……

Front yard, Yan’s house.

Yan Bugui held a broken bowl and stared at it in a daze.

After a long time, he looked around at the slightly empty room and was dazed for a moment.

"Squeak!"

The door was opened and the third aunt walked in carrying a plate of food.

"Dad, let's eat..."

"Um……"

He just responded softly and said no more.

The food was served and the two sat quietly to eat. The only sound in the room was the sound of chopsticks colliding with bowls.

"I heard that Xie Cheng's restaurant is doing good business?"

"Yeah, although it's not as famous as Shazhu's Tan's Restaurant, it's still pretty good in this area..."

"They didn't say when they would come back to see us?"

"They are busy...no time..."

"It's been several years... I don't even go home for the New Year..."

"It's all your fault... He calculates this and that in front of him every day... He asks you to invest but you're not willing to do so for fear of losing all his money, and when he asks you to borrow money, you charge him 10% interest, which means it's twice the principal after a year... How can he not be angry..."

"I……"

"Ugh……"

Thinking of his behavior at that time, Yan Bugui couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

"If only the interest rate was lower then..."

"Tsk... If we had been able to get a stake when they invested, I would be the one making the calculations now..."

When the third aunt thought of this, she rolled her eyes at Yan Bugui.
