Jia Zhang, who was just feeling happy about having canned meat to eat, heard the crying coming from the inner room. Her face suddenly darkened and she cursed in dissatisfaction: “You money-loser, you just cry all day long!”
When Jia Dongming heard the crying sound coming from the inner room, he immediately guessed that the person crying must be Xiao Huaihua, who was born only a few months ago.
Hearing Jia Zhang’s scolding, Jia Dongming frowned and followed Jia Zhang into the inner room, where he saw a little girl about three or four years old standing in front of the bed, trying to comfort the crying little Huaihua. However, she was frightened by the appearance of Jia Zhang and showed a terrified expression.
Jia Dongming traveled through time from the future. Influenced by the culture of the future, Jia Dongming not only does not have the idea of favoring boys over girls, but instead prefers girls.
Seeing the young Xiaodang trembling with fear because of Jia Zhang’s appearance, Jia Dongming immediately asked Jia Zhang: “Mom! What are you doing?”
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming’s question, she did not sense the dissatisfaction in Jia Dongming’s words at all. She looked at Xiao Huaihua crying on the bed with disgust, and introduced them to Jia Dongming with a smile: “These two money-losing things were born to your sister-in-law who married into the city from the countryside. Because Qin Huairu had to go to the factory to take over, I was left to look after them at home.”
After hearing what Jia Zhang had introduced, Jia Dongming looked at Xiao Dang, who was filled with fear. He then walked up to Xiao Dang, instinctively squatted down, picked Xiao Dang up, and asked him kindly, “Little darling! I’m your uncle. Tell me, what’s your name? How old are you this year?”
When Jia Dongming hugged Xiaodang, his thin body twitched a few times. Perhaps because of the blood relationship, when Xiaodang saw Jia Dongming’s kind and gentle face, his fear was obviously reduced. He replied in a baby voice, “Uncle! My name is Xiaodang, I am four years old this year. The one lying on the bed is my sister Xiaohuaihua. Mom said Xiaohuaihua is seven months old.”
Feeling the weight of Xiaodang in his arms and seeing Xiaodang’s sallow hair, Jia Dongming felt distressed. He said to Xiaodang in a very kind tone: “Xiaodang is so well behaved. For the sake of our well-behaved and lovely Xiaodang in the future, uncle decided to reward Xiaodang with a piece of candy. Now uncle will take Xiaodang to get the candy.”
When Jia Zhang saw what Jia Dongming said to Xiaodang and how he treated Xiaodang, she immediately asked him, “Dongming! Why are you giving her a money-losing girl candy?”
Jia Dongming had been separated from Jia Zhang when he was eight years old. He had no feelings for the original owner’s family. If it weren’t for the obsession of the original owner that remained deep in his soul, Jia Dongming would never have recognized Jia Zhang.
Jia Dongming was about to carry Xiaodang outside to get some candy, but when he heard what Jia Zhang said, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He warned Jia Zhang in a tone without any emotion: “Mom! Whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s Dongxu’s child.”
“In addition, in our Jia family, there is no distinction between noble and humble, and there is no such thing as a money-loser. If you want me to recognize you as my mother, I don’t want to hear you call my two nieces money-loser again.”
When Jia Zhang was young, her eldest son was lost by her husband. When she was middle-aged, her husband died in an accident at a steel mill. In addition, this was an era when it was common for families to be left without a family, which made Jia Zhang become particularly insecure. So after Jia Youcai passed away, Jia Zhang began to save money for her retirement.
After Jia Dongxu died in a mechanical accident last year, Jia Zhang was worried that her daughter-in-law would abandon her and her three children and remarry, which made her, who already felt insecure, even more insecure. Now the appearance of Jia Dongming made Jia Zhang, who felt insecure, feel like she had found a life-saving straw. Facing Jia Dongming’s warning, Jia Zhang did not dare to stab him like she did to Jia Dongxu. She assured Jia Dongming with a face full of fear and trepidation: “Dongming! Mom was wrong. Mom promises you that I will never ask these two to pay for it again, and I will never ask Xiaodang and the others to pay for it. You must never abandon me.”
Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang’s plea and felt her fear. Influenced by the obsession of his original body, in order to avoid more trouble in the future, Jia Dongming persuaded Jia Zhang earnestly, “Mom! I don’t know how you have lived these years, but now I’m back. With my monthly salary of 135 yuan, I can support my brother’s family, not to mention you.”
Jia Zhang, who was originally very timid, was suddenly enlightened when she learned about Jia Dongming’s salary. She asked Jia Dongming excitedly, “Dongming! Is what you said true? Is your current salary really 135 yuan? This is higher than Yi Zhonghai’s salary.”
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhangshi mention Yi Zhonghai, he pretended to be curious and asked Jia Zhangshi, “Mom! Who is Yi Zhonghai? Does he also work in the steel mill?”
“Because I have made contributions on the battlefield and I am a retired military officer, the factory took care of me and planned a fifteenth-level salary for me. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai is also an official of the steel mill?”
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming’s introduction and learned that her boss had made contributions on the battlefield and was a retired military officer, an expression of pride immediately appeared on her face.
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming ask if Yi Zhonghai was also a cadre at the steel mill, she immediately remembered that Yi Zhonghai had deliberately manipulated their Jia family’s affairs in order to provide for their retirement. An expression of hatred immediately appeared on her face, and she angrily said to Jia Dongming: “Dongming! Yi Zhonghai, the old man, is an eighth-level worker at the steel mill, and his monthly salary is 99 yuan.”
“In order to let Dongxu take care of him in his old age, Yi Zhonghai, the old man, took Dongxu in as his apprentice. But he was worried that after Dongxu’s work level was promoted, our Jia family would no longer need to rely on him, so he deliberately suppressed Dongxu’s work level and did not teach him the real skills. This is why Dongxu left us an orphan and a widow because of a mechanical accident.”
When Jia Zhang came to this point, she thought of her youngest son whom she had raised with her own hands, and tears could not stop flowing from her eyes.
On the surface, Yi Zhonghai appears to be upright and helpful, but in fact he is a hypocrite with a lot of thieves and prostitutes in his heart.
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang’s evaluation of Yi Zhonghai, he realized that Jia Zhang was not as stupid as he thought. Seeing Jia Zhang crying again, Jia Dongming immediately said to her in order to divert her attention, “Mom! The steel mill has allocated a separate courtyard to me. I went to take a look before. The house is full of spider webs and dust. If we don’t clean it, I’m afraid we won’t be able to live here tonight.”
