Chapter 87 The Poor Little One Killed by His Uncle 43
"He never raised you, never gave birth to you, so why should he let you bear this burden when he gets old?"

"Your uncle rejected him at that time."

"Your uncle said that if he dares to come to you and ask for anything, he should be driven out of the village."

"If it weren't for your uncle, the captain, the villagers would have driven him out long ago."

"The emergence of a labor camp prisoner in the village is a disgrace to the entire village."

The old lady kept nagging angrily for a long time, and Yuanchun finally asked, "Auntie, how will the village arrange for my second uncle?"

"You still remember Li Guaizi's house in the village, right? No one has lived in it for seven or eight years. It's all abandoned. Your uncle gave the house to your second uncle to live in. Your eldest and second cousins ​​asked for leave this afternoon to help him renovate the house. The house cannot be lived in without renovation."

At this point, the old lady said disdainfully, "Your second uncle will be staying at my house for the next two days. He will also have lunch at my house. I saw that he was still wearing clothes from ten years ago. They were all tattered and you could see his flesh. It was too shabby. So I found some old clothes of your uncle and your two cousins ​​and gave them to him. I also gave him a set of your cousin's old bedding from before he got married."

"Hey, your second uncle is too calculating. It's retribution for him to end up like this. But he is still a person under the name of our ancestor, so let's help him if we can."

In the afternoon, the aunt took a leave of absence and went to help Liu Tiezhu clean the house. She also brought out a set of bowls, chopsticks, plates, and a bucket and wooden basin for Liu Tiezhu to use.

There were no patients in the clinic, so Yuanchun also went to help with cleaning.

In the evening, Cheng Fang returned home. Yuanchun asked him to deliver the boxes, wardrobes, kang tables, washbasins and other items used by his grandfather to Liu Tiezhu.

Even the clothes and bedding that grandpa wore when he was alive were given to Liu Tiezhu.

Yuanchun was not the original owner, so there was no need for her grandfather to keep his belongings as a souvenir. She didn’t throw them away before because people in the countryside don’t have the habit of throwing things away. And since she kept them in the house and didn’t feed them, Yuanchun kept them.

This time, she happened to give all of her grandfather's belongings to Liu Tiezhu.

She painted her grandfather's room with lime, rebuilt a kang, and went to the village carpenter's house to order a few small boxes and wardrobes, and then let the children live in. After that, she never helped Liu Tiezhu again.

After Liu Tiezhu returned to the village, because he was a labor camp prisoner and a cripple who could not do heavy work, the team leader assigned him to do some light work with the women when dividing the work.

Earn five or six work points a day.

Not full, but not hungry either.

In 80, when the land was divided and everyone worked on their own, Liu Tiezhu rented the land he was allocated to a family in the village with more labor force to cultivate, and the family gave him kilograms of grain a year.

He limped and went to the county town every day to pick up garbage for money.

You know, in this era, picking up garbage can also make money. Even after the reform, a group of rich people became rich by picking up garbage.

Of course Yuanchun couldn't make him rich.

So, two months later, Liu Tiezhu fell and broke his head. After a month of recuperation at home, he was still often confused.

In the winter of 80, Liu Tiezhu recovered from his illness and wanted to eat fish, so he went to dig a hole in the river to fish. He accidentally caught a fish in the hole he had dug.

When others found him, he had already been washed away by the icy river water.

The river was covered with ice in winter, making it impossible to fish his body out.

Still the next year, when spring came and flowers bloomed, the ice on the river melted and a body floated on the river near the village below. After confirming that it was Liu Tiezhu, Liu Tielin brought people to bring his body back and buried it in the Liu family's ancestral cemetery.
