Chapter 28 We'll Go With You

But the villagers who had been begged just shook their heads, closed the door silently, and refused entry to Dabao and Erbao.

I'm going, I'm going!

The three members of the Ding family who saw this scene from the window were speechless and stamped their feet. What the hell are these people? They are so selfish and cowardly.

If it weren't for Village Chief Lai Fu's foresight in bringing them out, these people would have starved to death in Aozigou sooner or later. But they were short-sighted and thought that although Village Chief Lai Fu brought them out, they didn't get a single grain of rice or a drop of water, and didn't gain any benefits.

So at this time, why would they risk their lives to save the village chief?

The more I watch, the angrier I get. I can’t stand it anymore!

Ding Gui turned around abruptly: "I'm going to the kitchen to find a knife."

Zhang Xiu held the rabbit in her hand tighter and tighter.

Ding Xiaodie's face turned pale. She also wanted to go find a knife: "I want to go with Dabao and Erbao to save the village chief."

It's so infuriating. The villagers' indifference reminded the family of three of that tragic history. Wasn't that how the tragedy of a few Japanese devils slaughtering the village happened?

So they must stand up, because today's awakening is to prepare for the future when they really encounter nomadic pursuers.

But just as the family of three was about to go downstairs...

"etc."

Wang Dafeng suddenly opened her arms and blocked the stairs: "No one is allowed to go down now."

What does it mean?

Ding Xiaodie said angrily, "Grandma, now is not the time to think about eating. If something happens to Uncle Lai Fu, how can we eat?"

Ding Gui was also a little annoyed: "Mom..."

"All of you shut up and listen to me first." Wang Dafeng interrupted them with a stern face, then straightened his back and said, "Just now, Dabao and Erbao went to each family to beg, and those bastards didn't want to move. You saw it too!

You two, father and daughter, want to fight with Dabao and Erbao? Don't you think you have any ability? With your frail bodies, you're not even worth being chopped off if you stand out. Also, if something happens to you, who will support me?

So you guys just wait at home. Those cowards who want to hide from this matter, no way. If you want to die, we have to drag a few people down with us. Watch me."

After saying these words, Wang Dafeng turned around and went downstairs.

The three members of the Ding family were dumbfounded. They didn't know what the old woman wanted to do at this critical moment.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Gui quickly took out the rabbit he had hidden on his body and gave it to Zhang Xiu: "Hide this one well. The old woman only knows how to eat all day long. We can't have no food to eat next time. We have to plan our journey."

Seeing that they had caught two rabbits in one day, Zhang Xiu was so excited that he immediately hugged the baby's father.

Now the old woman isn’t watching, so you can hug me if you want.

Ding Xiaodie stood nearby and rolled her eyes: "Mom, hide quickly."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Zhang Xiu quickly turned around and ran to the bed.

She had nothing to do that day, so she searched every inch of the house.

According to what we have seen in TV dramas, people in ancient times liked to find a place to hide things in their home. Some hid jewelry, some hid food, and the family they lived in had a big hole in the floor under the bed.

When she found it, she also discovered an account book inside. It seemed to record the male owner's previous private income and expenditure, but he took the money away and kept the account book.

Alas, it turns out that men are creatures that need to be guarded against no matter what era.

Now Zhang Xiu hid the rabbit in the hole under the bed, and waited until the old woman fell asleep at night before taking it to the kitchen to process and pickle it.

Seeing that his wife could actually find such a great place, Ding Gui couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Wife, you've got it."

Zhang Xiu glanced at him calmly and said, "There's something I haven't told you yet. The day before the accident, I took all the private money you hid in your mattress and used it to buy a bag. It cost over ten thousand yuan."

Ding Gui: “…”

Even though that happened in the previous life, it still makes my heart bleed.

He secretly cut a hole in the mattress and stuffed the money in. The ten thousand yuan was the result of three years of saving, just hoping to have a chance to buy something he liked, such as a fishing rod, a purple clay teapot, etc.

But he never expected that his wife, who usually lived frugally, would be so cruel when using his private money!

She spends ten thousand yuan to buy a bag. Can't she go crazy?

Looking at these two funny parents, Ding Xiaodie almost laughed out loud.

At this moment, Wang Dafeng's full-throated curse suddenly rang out from downstairs: "Everyone in Aozigou, young and old, listen up! Today, I, an old woman, am here to argue with you about reason!"

"Back in Aozigou, Village Chief Lai Fu always handled things fairly and justly. If your family beats his wife, or his husband cheats on his wife, you bastards would go to the village chief to judge the matter. He would always make things right for you."

"A year ago, the weather was unusual. Village Chief Lai Fu went door to door, telling everyone to farm well because the weather might change. Well, who would take the village chief's words seriously? Now that the drought has hit, everyone is begging the village chief for a way out."

"The village chief is literate, and he immediately led us all out to escape the famine and seek a living. Why did we have to come out? I'll tell you. The last pond in the village has dried up, and the fields won't grow any crops. As the old saying goes, 'People move and live, trees move and die.' If the village chief doesn't lead us out now, you all know what the result will be."

Well, all along the way you've been complaining about the road being too long, or about having nothing to eat or drink, acting like you're living like a king in Aozigou. I'm just asking if you're embarrassed, complaining about this and that. Why don't you just turn back? Go back to Aozi Village and wait to die there."

"Well, now that the village chief is in trouble, people's kids have come to the door to beg for help. You bastards are not even a man. You are all begging for money. You are shameless and don't even think about how good Village Chief Lai Fu is to you.

If he weren't there, I'd like to ask you, what are you going to do next? Are you going to wait for death in Yangliu Town, or go back to Aozigou and wait for death? "How can you face your children and your younger generations if you stay here like this?"

The three members of the Ding family who were standing upstairs watching were stunned.

The old woman's fighting ability was really extraordinary. She cursed one after another in an organized manner, and she cursed while standing in the middle of the street. The dirty words she used were so venomous and ugly that they were unpleasant to the ears.

While Wang Dafeng was scolding, the brothers Dabao and Erbao were standing on the street wiping their tears. They were a little at a loss and very worried about their father's safety.

The joy of finding food in the mountains had long been diluted at this moment.

squeak!

When everything was quiet, the door of Ding's cottage opened!

In this situation, Ding Gui and Ding Xiaodie could no longer hold back. Each of them held a small knife found in the kitchen, opened the door and walked straight to Dabao and Erbao.

"Don't be afraid, we'll go with you!"
