returning from the city, Baili replaced the electric bike with his Phoenix bike at the entrance of the village.So did many items in the basket and in the back seat of the Phoenix bike.
The snowy weather made not many people come out at a time like this. Even so he still needs a reason how the goods in the warehouse are there by arriving.
When he arrived at his house the new clock showed around 01:00 pm.
"Aunt Lili just got home?"greet a daughter-in-law when she sees Baili getting off the bike with so much stuff.
"Yes dong's daughter-in-law, why is it still outside when it's cold outside" said Baili.
He smiled reluctantly, who would be willing to stand in such cold weather if it did not have a certain purpose.
"i'm waiting for Auntie to come back hehehe"
Baili let her bike be taken by Ayan.She knows this woman is not easy.
Married in a dong family but not blessed by a single child.
Her birth family is arguably a poor family, Dong Ling her husband's name.
Dong's family has 5 children.Three boys and 2 girls. Like other families in general, the dong family is also a patricial family.
Girls are no more valuable than boys.
But this Dong Ling was the second boy. Because of his position in the middle he was considered cheap by his own family.
traditionally parents value the eldest son more, even so they are also quite pampering the third son.
The second son did not enter their eyes. Two princesses are already married to a distant village only to take enough dowry for the other son to have a daughter-in-law.
As a result, the second son, Dong Ling, was forgotten.
Due to the economic pressure, dong Ling's daughter-in-law, who is now from a poor family, was bought with a basket of eggs and ten cents.
After being married for many years her daughter-in-law even lost to the chickens that lay eggs every day.
the family is not satisfied and thinks of returning it with the family of the birth.
But dong Ling who had lived with this daughter-in-law for 3 years rejected this idea by.
because of the rejection, both of their lives in the family are very uncomfortable and seem underestimated.
Although there are three daughters-in-law at home. Only he was given heavy duty all day. In addition to working on tasks in the fields to pick up points.
He did not complain at all, they wanted to ask for a farewell but knew that if the farewell was done there was nothing they would accept in the end.
Dong Ling also thought about the winter that they would have a hard time passing if the farewell was done.
But a few days ago, dong Ling fell with a wound on his leg.Now the wound has started festering but the family does not want to spend a penny for dong Ling to seek treatment.
As a daughter-in-law, How could she see her partner suffer and die on the bed in this way.
Last night she heard from her brother-in-law that Wang Sufeng would be looking for a new team while they were looking for food supplies in other areas.
in the past no one thought this job was worth much less the requirement was family separation.
But now people think it's pretty good to work under Baili. Although there was no great salary, they would not starve because Baili fed his workers three meals.
After all there would be an opportunity for a good job in the city as a subordinate to the baili.
Wang Sufeng there were five subordinates now that Ayoe was out.Two of these had already obtained a job ration.
There are still four more but reportedly there will be hospitals and fabric factories that are starting to be interested.
It is not impossible that good things will fall on the head of a new working family.
It's just who will go to the baili side.They absolutely do not believe if dong Ling will be accepted.
He is disabled now and does not yet know if he can get through this winter.
The conversation last night made dong Ling's daughter-in-law sad. Dong Ling also heard those words from her bedroom.
He no longer has the power to be himself not a human in this family.
To die of course dong Ling liked it more but what about the daughter-in-law.
That night they did not speak in the slightest and just remained silent and fell asleep until morning.
Waking up, dong Ling's daughter-in-law is still doing some work apart from serving her ailing husband.
Life is really hard especially her husband is also considered dead by this family. They increasingly dared to make fun of him thinking he was more worthless than before.
Because he missed breakfast time .But nothing was left for her and her husband.
unfortunately again it happened for lunch, so that the stomach dong Ling still contains, he washed the pot with warm water.
There were a few grains of rice in it and that's what this couple had for lunch.
To find life is no worse than to die .Dong Ling talked to the daughter-in-law about her next marriage.
He said sincerely if the daughter-in-law left him at this time.
How this daughter-in-law was willing to leave a husband as good as her. Dong Ling was simply unlucky to have such a family.
That's why he's standing in front of the baili now. Due to the seniority in the village, this daughter-in-law also referred to Baili as a little Aunt.
In front of the baili, dong's daughter-in-law immediately knelt on the thin snow that began to appear.
" Aunty, please help me, my master at the hospital is sick his leg is no longer useful. I will be a cow and a horse for Aunt not only in this life but also in the next if little Aunt will help" she said with teary eyes.
Old mother Baili and her in-laws saw the daughter-in-law kneeling. They were stunned because they didn't think this would happen.
Dong's daughter-in-law had been standing there for almost 1 hour. He was invited to enter the house because of the cold weather.
But refuse for reasons more comfortable outside.
But from his words there was something serious about dong Ling.
"okay, let's talk inside. It's not good to talk outside in this kind of weather " said Baili who invited her in.
"if he can't do it alone, I'll follow him from behind and we promise to work seriously even if there's no salary" he said.
Baili did not know about the character of each citizen in the village. Because he could be said to be the one who had just arrived.
To take someone for granted Baili is certainly not sure. He has a big secret that needs to be hidden.
"okay tell me first what's the problem with your husband?" ask the baili who started stuttering this seriously.
He sits on the bench.
Dong's daughter-in-law immediately told her why she came and asked for a job for her husband who was currently dying.
The first thing he wanted was actually a treatment for dong Ling.
Although it is difficult they still get along and depend on each other.
if she could marry for a second marriage, she was not sure she could find a man who behaved like her husband.
If his life could be saved.
He will thank and devote a lifetime to the baili, that is his promise.
Baili was surprised to hear the story from her mouth. He does not believe in the village as well as this there are still families who prefer money than the lives of their own children.
But his heart was also moved with the loyalty possessed by his daughter-in-law he looked honest and did not lie in the same second.
yet he also could not trust people based solely on words alone.
Baili left daughter-in-law dong in a position still kneeling in the snow.
"Mother I would like to ask your opinion about the character that dong ling and his daughter-in-law have?" ask the two old mothers.
"i think this dong family is outrageous .Aling was an honest and diligent child as well as her daughter-in-law.they had only not been given the chance to have offspring but that was no reason to harass people like this" Said his old mother.
"Hem according to the mother of the characters they are both weak, but they are honest and quite loyal.if they have promised most likely will not turn away. If you can take him but do not know what work he can do with the condition of the foot is no longer useful" said Mother-in-law anyway.
"good enough they are diligent and honest but with a weak character I fear There will be something later on what if their family persuades to return or take the goods in the warehouse?"
Someone who has this kind of weak character. Sometimes they feel helpless and choose to respond to a threat with forced action.
It's bad with a weak character but this couple has the same weak character.
It's a little hard to make a decision but it's about human life.
If you think again he is not opening a company with the purpose of Charity. As his mother said, what work can be given in such conditions.
"No, make a covenant letter that emphasizes the loyalty and promise of the extended family so as not to connect with each other, both verbally and face-to-face" suggested the old baili father who had been thinking hard.
According to him, the ability given by the gods to the baili must also be paid with something and maybe this is the thing that needs to be done in response.
Help someone and make a lot of rewards.
Building a seven-story pagoda is no better than helping the life of a human child.
Baili's old father also believed in the cause and effect system.
"do you think this can be done ?"ask Baili.
"Hem I'll go to the village chief and ask for a letter of agreement early" said her who immediately stood up and took an additional jacket to go to the village chief's house.
The old man did not often speak much . But once he spoke it was actually an inviolable decision.
seeing that her father had left the baby could no longer refuse this cooperation she immediately came to the daughter-in-law and said"OK I agree, go home and tell your family and make a farewell. my father will come with the village chief in a moment. sooner this affair is finished then Aling can be quickly taken to the hospital to receive treatment"
Tears dong daughter-in-law who began to freeze look so sweet. He immediately thanked little Aunt and stood up hurriedly.
But he could not stand steady from kneeling in the cold weather. The movement is a little unsteady, for the baili can hold it.
She was excited and afraid that Baili would change her mind. Dong's daughter-in-law ran away to tell the dong family.
Baili could only shake her head and enter the house to rest.
For the business of dong Ling, Babili knew his old father would finish it without the need for him to intervene.
An hour later the old man returned with the village chief and secretary following the captain who had always appeared lately at Baili's house.
Baili did not ask why they always came like an inseparable triumvirate now.
The friendly baili served camomile flower tea to warm the throats of the three of them.
not long after the dong family also came. they immediately agreed about the separation.at that time they also talked about the rules of separation.
Anything that is included in the rights and obligations of dong Ling. Even if dong Ling dies, there is still a daughter-in-law who is required to fulfill this while she is not married to a second marriage.
In addition to the broken pot and its two bowls and chopsticks. They only get a certain amount of food and 80 cents.
But the village chief did not agree and the negotiations became difficult until here.
Dad dong set 500 cents as dutiful fee for a year.
How could he ask for that while working with the baili was clearly not going to make a penny. Only rely on eating three times a day.
That portion is only given to workers in this case is dong Ling.
How can they live with responsibilities that are actually very inhumane, plus the dong family is not willing to pay for the hospital.
"okay I will agree dong Ling pay the money for this service but you also have to agree to finance him to go to the hospital right now ,how?"
"No, we don't have that much money.does the village chief want us dead?" The first in-law word that went straight ahead.
"the dong family whether your daughter-in-law can talk now. it was you who forced Aling to die now that she had a chance to live but you pressured her again and again as the village chief I need to look after the citizens of my village and be fair. so tell me do you accept these terms or not?" asked the village chief angrily.
He was clearly said to be the village head who was fair in regulating his citizens. Now he just has to prove the truth.
How can he answer the questions of the journalists later in the day of the meeting if they find there are only intimidated residents in this village.
He had to keep his image as a good and righteous village chief.
