Chapter 195: Exposed
Jia Shu picked up the phone and dialed her mother's workshop.
A little nervous.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sat aside, bored.
"Hello! Director Qin, I'm Song Meifeng's daughter, right! My mother... what? My mother is at work? That... that... Is my mother in good health? I'm just worried about my family! I'm a little worried about not being at home for so long.
Oh, everything is fine! Thank you then.
Call my mother? No need... Hey... Wait..."
Jia Shu shouted.
But obviously did not stop the other party's action.
Jiang Xiaoxiao guessed that someone went to call Song Meifeng to answer the phone.
Jia Shu was listless, twisting the phone line absent-mindedly.
The director's words surprised her, and also made her guess come true.
Sure enough!
Her mother was at work, how could she be terminally ill, was her brother talking nonsense, or was her family lying to her?
Jia Shu's eyes were red, she was almost worried about this matter and almost lost her appetite, it turned out to be a scam.
She sent all the money in her pocket back home, not even leaving a penny.
Because of this incident, she asked people to borrow money. He Aiguo lent her twenty, Jiang Xiaoxiao lent her fifty, and Song Moting and others lent her ten to twenty yuan, although it was still not enough for a thousand.
But Jia Shu had thought about it. If it really didn't work, she would shamelessly go to the forest farm to ask the director and others to borrow money.
She also knew that she didn't have such a deep relationship with the director and the workers in the forest farm. If she asked people to borrow money, she would most likely be rejected, and she was afraid that they would laugh at her thick skin.
After all, who can have nothing to do in this day and age? Asking people who are not close to her for money, how dare they lend her money.
But what can she do?
She is desperate.
The only solution she can think of is to do more work at that time and pay it back slowly and bit by bit at the end of the year.
Anyway, she can't leave here for a while, but her family is at stake.
She even thought of reducing all her expenses to the minimum, even if she had to eat the least amount of food, so that the food she saved could be exchanged for money.
But who would have thought that she would get such news in the end after planning for her family wholeheartedly.
My mother is working well, which means she is in good health. If she is sick and can't get out of bed, how can she go to work?
That's right!
There are so many brothers and sisters at home, how can parents not go to work? If they don't go to work, who will earn money to support the family!
But no matter what the reason is, you can't lie to yourself.
Jia Shu is in pain. No matter what the reason is, if you lie to yourself like this, do you know that she will have nightmares at night here.
She can't eat well and sleep well.
But her parents didn't even think about how worried she, a child outside, would be when she heard the news.
"Jia Shu, why did you call back? It's free to call, you child! Why are you so worrying? You don't know what's going on at home. It would be great if you could save the money for the call and send it back home."
Song Meifeng picked up the phone on the other side, and she actually felt a little guilty.
How could she not know what the youngest son wrote to say? This excuse was agreed upon by the whole family.
To put it bluntly, they wanted to force the eldest son to borrow money, since the eldest son had already gone to the countryside.
After working there as an educated youth for decades, he could earn a thousand yuan at least.
It had been more than half a year since the eldest son went to the countryside, but he only sent money home once, and he only remembered sending 15 yuan.
The couple originally thought that after the eldest son went to the countryside, the family would first save on food rations, and secondly, the eldest son would earn food rations himself and could also help the family.
But who would have thought that after the eldest son went out, he would be so carefree that he didn't even care about the family.
She was working on the farm, how could she not get food rations all year round?
The affiliated farm of the steel plant here still distributes food rations to every household.
Especially since his daughter was still on the farm, that place was a major grain producer, how could he not give them some food?
The rations should be sent home, but this child is so bad. Not to mention sending food, even the money is sent back only after they have urged them many times. It has been half a year and only 15 yuan has been sent back.
What can these 15 yuan do?
Such a big thing happened at home, and the couple discussed for a long time before coming up with this idea.
Ask for 1,000 yuan from the eldest brother.
Without thinking, Jia Shu has no ability to get 1,000 yuan.
Going to the countryside is not to make a fortune, and the farm is not a gold mine.
If they don't get the money back and wait for the eldest brother to send them the money later, it will be difficult. They can see that this girl is raised in vain.
Besides, she went to the farm, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. They can't run all the way to ask the girl for money, even the travel expenses are not enough.
So they wrote this letter.
Who would have known that this girl would become so smart now, and even know to call her own workshop.
This is not immediately exposed.
Song Meifeng was so angry that she had to shut her daughter up with these words. Anyway, she had a loud voice and she was a mother. Could it be that her daughter could point at her nose and ask her questions?
Didn't she see that the workshop director was standing next to her, looking at her with a smile? People thought they were a loving mother and a filial son. Who knew there were so many things going on?
Jia Shu was stunned. Her mother was like this. She could always make sense even if she was wrong.
It was obviously her family who lied to her. She would not question her mother even if she said something soft.
After all, they are family.
But her mother now openly accused her of spending money on the phone call. This is the wicked complaining first!
Since she knew that the phone call would cost money, didn’t she worry about buying a train ticket to go back and spend money?
The train ticket doesn’t cost money!
She borrowed money from others everywhere, that’s not money!
In her mother’s heart, did she really treat her as her own daughter? When she left, her family basically didn’t bring much money with her except for buying tickets.
She just told her to send money and food to her family when she went to the farm.
Did she not send money? How long have she worked on the farm? How much salary can she get? The little rations they were given were not enough for them because of the heavy snow and the mountain closure. Even she herself was starving.
If Xiaoxiao hadn’t found a way to exchange wood from the farm for rations, they might be starving now.
His mother didn’t ask her how she was doing now. Three provinces here were hit by disasters.
The whole country knew about it.
Her mother never cared about her daughter, but always talked about money.
"Mom, since you are fine, I don't need to lend you the thousand yuan that my brother asked for. I hope you and my dad will be healthy in the future and take good care of yourselves. Don't joke with me about your own health. I really thought something happened to you.
It is the spring planting season here, and it is the heaviest time for farm work. Aren't you worried that something will happen to me because I am worried about things at home?"
Jia Shu held her breath and felt wronged. Even if other parents don't care about their children, they don't hold them back. What do her parents think?
