Rebirth in '82: The Foolish Village Guardian's Mountain Life

Every village would have one or two "village guardians." They were often simple-minded and foolish, yet kind-hearted.

The older generation often said that village guardians came to th...

Chapter 7 Take A Pig Away

"How dare you?"

The aunt was so frightened that her face turned pale and she stared at him in disbelief.

"What am I afraid of?"

Chen Wang continued to exert force on his hands.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts, Awang, I was wrong, I was wrong, don't use too much force, my hand is really going to break."

Chen Feng's face was distorted with pain, and he began to admit his mistake and beg for mercy.

"One last time, give me back my gun!"

"Stop it, the gun is gone."

Chen Fugui shouted angrily.

"No more?"

Chen Wang's face darkened.

"Awang Awang, I lost the gun. Let me go first and give me some time. I will definitely get you a gun."

Chen Feng said anxiously with sweat all over his forehead.

"to be honest!"

Chen Wang stared at him fiercely.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to believe that someone would lose something like a gun.

"That's the truth, I really lost it!"

"Really? Then there's nothing to say."

"No, wait, I'll tell you, isn't that enough?"

Chen Feng was really scared and could only compromise with a bitter face.

Soon, Chen Wang understood the details.

After his parents passed away one after another, Chen Feng, this idle guy, soon set his sights on his father's double-barreled shotgun.

He said he wanted to follow his uncle's example and go into the mountains to hunt and collect herbs.

When Chen Fugui and his wife heard for the first time that their son wanted to do something, they were naturally very happy and unanimously agreed to the idea.

The family of three quickly went to Silly Awang's house with some cheap gifts. The couple cooperated and said some nice words, and then expressed their desire to borrow the shotgun.

Lin Xiuqin had just been in charge for a few days and didn't have any smart ideas yet. In addition, her uncle's family had not changed their attitude yet.

She thought the gun would be useless if she kept it at home, so she agreed to lend it out.

After Chen Feng got the gun, he was very enthusiastic for three days and went into the mountains several times.

However, hunting was not as easy as he thought.

He had no experience and was not very accurate with the gun, but after several days, he didn't catch any pheasants and was very tired.

I was idle at home for a few days, and then went there twice. I felt even more that hunting was not something that humans should do. Wouldn't it be better to just lie at home?

Chen Feng gave up the idea of ​​hunting.

The lazy guys in the village like to get together to brag, play cards or something like that when they have nothing to do.

Chen Feng also had this bad habit. One day, he played cards with a few friends and lost all the money in his pocket and still owed dozens of dollars.

He didn't dare tell his parents after returning home because his parents would never help him pay it back and would just beat him up.

After seeing the hunting rifle hanging on the wall of the room, Chen Feng suddenly had an idea, so he took the gun and went to find someone to sell it to.

"Sold it? Didn't you tell us that you encountered a black bear when you went into the mountains and lost it when you were running away?"

Chen Fugui glared at his son.

My aunt also looked surprised.

It was obvious that the couple had been deceived by their good son.

"Haha, you borrowed our things and you can sell them just like that?"

"Then...then you can't use it!"

"Are you an idiot? I should give it to you if I don't need it. It's my father's stuff, my family's property, and it has nothing to do with you, understand?"

Chen Wang said sternly.

"I understand, I understand. It's my fault. It's all my fault."

Chen Feng smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly.

He has always been a bully and a coward, and now he is really scared.

How can this still be the silly Awang who allowed himself to be bullied?

Chen Wang shook off his hand, looked at his uncle and said, "Since the gun is gone, then give me the money! My dad only used the gun a few times and kept it in good condition. I'll give it two hundred dollars!"

Hearing this, the uncle and the other two all changed their expressions.

How much savings can anyone have these days, not to mention that they built a new house last year.

Even if I can take out two hundred yuan, how will I live in the future?

"Two hundred dollars? Are you trying to rob me? I didn't even sell that much!"

Chen Feng shouted angrily.

"That's your business. Anyway, the gun is only worth two hundred dollars. Pay me quickly."

Chen Wang urged impatiently.

"No money, we don't have that much money, oh my God... why is life so hard!"

My aunt started to cry at the top of her lungs.

"Awang, consider the two hundred yuan as a loan from our family. You really can't take it out now, so can you go back first? We will pay you back as soon as possible."

Chen Fugui suppressed his anger and discussed the matter in a serious tone.

People in rural areas care a lot about their reputation.

In the past two years, their family has not helped this stupid nephew's family, and the villagers have been gossiping about them. If his wife's crying attracts the villagers to watch the fun and they find out that he has not returned the gun, then he will be completely disgraced.

Chen Wang shook his head and said, "Sorry, I have borrowed this money for too long. I don't trust you."

"So what do you want?"

Chen Fugui was so angry that his face turned blue.

Chen Wang turned around and walked out of the house, saying, "When I came here, I saw that your pigpen had two pigs. The smaller one belongs to me. It's definitely not worth 200 yuan, so I'll take a loss."

"No, that's for sale to the country!"

The aunt was anxious.

Nowadays, families with the means generally raise two pigs. Before slaughtering the New Year pig, they sell one to the purchasing station. Those with less means will slaughter one and sell half.

The purchasing station also has regulations that live pigs must weigh 130 kilograms, not a kilogram less.

A New Year pig may be the source of meat for a family to celebrate the New Year and for the coming year.

If Chen Wang took the smaller one, his family would have to sell only half of the larger pig to the purchasing station, leaving them with only the other half.
