Chapter 20
It was still the grain drying field where the movie was shown, where Qiu Mei shook hands with the leader in full view.

The expression was still a little dazed, until he took the envelope in his hand, and an honest smile appeared on his face involuntarily.

Sure enough, it is better to give a huge sum of money than asking for warmth.

Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked forward, wanting to know how much money was inside.

Out of encouragement to everyone, the leaders of the commune also revealed the amount.

"Thanks to Comrade Qiu Mei for her brave deeds, the organization specially rewarded her with a bonus of 50 yuan. I hope everyone can learn from her."

As soon as this remark came out, it was like pouring cold water on boiling oil, and it boiled cracklingly.

"50 yuan, my dear, why did I have to watch that crappy movie, if only I stayed at home."

"The organization is also too generous, giving so much!"

You must know that even the workers in the county town earn only ten yuan a month, which is worth several months' salary.

All kinds of envious, even jealous eyes rushed towards Qiu Mei.

Many people felt a sour taste in their hearts.

A man said with disdain: "She is just lucky, and it is the same for me."

Gao Xiaohe, who was confinement, also stood in the crowd, looking coldly at the speaker.

"I didn't see you rushing to the front when we were grabbing water with the team next door. This time, the bad guys still have knives in their hands. Would you dare to go if you want? This money was exchanged by Qiu Mei with her life. What's the matter?" Too many, maybe not enough to heal her brother's leg."

The man stretched his neck and was about to refute, but he glanced at Qiu Mei who came down, but he still didn't dare to speak.

The rest of the people also gradually calmed down.

Yes, the money is indeed a lot, but for the situation of the Qiu family, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

The older one in her family is lame, and the two younger ones are useless, and one of them is still drinking milk.

If something happened to Qiu Mei at that time, the money would have become a pension.

Thinking of this, everyone's mentality was balanced, and after the leader's speech encouraging everyone to actively protect collective property, they all lost their minds.

But people with a heart still kept their eyes on the money.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, this is the personal property rewarded to Qiu Mei.

To put it bluntly, this is her future dowry!
Thinking about Qiu Mei's strength, being able to work in the fields, and having such a large dowry at the bottom of the box, many people were moved.

As soon as Qiu Mei entered the room, Shi Xiaoqing followed her.

"You girl, I called you several times from behind, didn't you hear?"

Seeing the nonchalant smile on her aunt's face, Qiu Mei couldn't help frowning, feeling that this person's face was beyond imagination.

This was the first one to appear on the stage, followed by another intimate voice.

"Xiaomei, I'm here to see you."

Qiu Yu looked out along the door, and it was Xu Hong, the second aunt who hadn't been in touch for a long time.

Seeing that Shi Xiaoqing was one step ahead of him, Xu Hong's eyes flashed with annoyance, but he soon returned to a friendly smile.

"My sister-in-law is here, isn't it a coincidence?"

Shi Xiaoqing snorted through his nose. Although these two are sisters-in-law, they have long disliked each other, and they can only get closer when they are on the united front.

But now their target is Qiu Mei, the two naturally become rivals.

Shi Xiaoqing spoke first, "I was the one who was not good last time, this time my aunt will introduce you to a good one, hardworking and tall, I am sure you will like it."

Xu Hong immediately answered: "Sister-in-law, you are not talking about the children of your natal brothers, are you? I think none of them are good enough for our Xiaomei. I have better ones here."

Qiu Mei watched the two confront each other without saying a word, and at this moment, another voice came from outside the door.

"Is the girl from the Qiu family here? Let's see what good news I bring you."

Qiu Yu took another look. Isn't this Aunt Zhao who is a professional matchmaker in the village?

Well, even he can guess that these people are not thinking about her sister, they are thinking about the 50 yuan.
