Upon opening her eyes, Shen Qing found herself in a mud-and-thatch hut, wearing clothes covered in patches, eating corn paste, and seeing no trace of meat or oil. Shen Qing: This is too miserable! ...
Chapter 119 Boss Zhao is in trouble
The onlookers were even more shocked.
"Why is Wang Fugui here too?"
"What the hell is going on? Why can't I understand?"
"Ouch, what a mess."
The onlookers were clicking their tongues and craning their necks to watch the fight from tiptoe.
Jiang Xiangnan squeezed in at the front, watching and commenting: "Auntie Xiaomai fought three people at once, and she was not at all inferior. She has great physical strength."
"Not only that, you didn't come earlier and missed Hong Ming. Tsk, you're not sleeping at night. I thought it was about that incident, but you showed me this?"
Jiang Xiangnan heard the complaint in the tone of the woman next to him. He swallowed in horror and thought, "Auntie, you are so fierce. You are not satisfied after beating me so hard. If it gets more serious, someone will die."
But he was more concerned about the reason, so he asked quietly, "Auntie, what's going on? Why did you start fighting for no reason?"
When the reason was mentioned, everyone fell silent.
They rushed over just after hearing Zhou Chuncao's shouting that the fight was going to be fierce. The fight was indeed fierce, but it was completely different from what they expected!
Then Zheng Hui rushed in with her eldest daughter-in-law, and now Wang Fugui was also there, making the situation even more chaotic.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting! It's all a misunderstanding!" Wang Fugui pulled Sun Xiaomai away, blocked Zhou Chuncao, and shouted to the onlookers.
With everyone thinking they had gotten up, someone in the crowd called out, "Fugui, since you've been here, tell me what's going on?"
Wang Fugui was unwilling to say anything. He couldn't say they were coveting Hongming's fish. He couldn't afford to lose face!
Sun Xiaomai didn't care whether it was embarrassing or not. If it was said, it would be embarrassing for the whole family, and if it wasn't said, her reputation would be ruined.
"What else could it be? I just wanted to help the Hong family eat a few of the fish they couldn't finish, but not only did he act so stingy, he even resorted to violence. Tell me, how could anyone be so stingy!"
Onlookers: .....I’ve learned a lot. This is the first time I’ve seen someone ask for something so confidently!
Zheng Hui pointed at Wang Fugui and cursed, "Well, you're a grown man, but you don't go get it, and you ask your wife to come and get it! Do you have any shame?"
Wang Fugui was scolded and hummed repeatedly without saying a word. He reached out to pull Sun Xiaomai: "Come on, come on, come back with me!"
Zheng Hui thanked Zhou Chuncao: "Chuncao, thank you for telling me, otherwise I would not have known that the Wang family was so shameless!
You are right, we should protect our own things and not feed them to those shameless people..."
Zhou Chuncao's hand was held by Zheng Hui, and the smile on her face was uglier than crying.
Zhang Heshun, who arrived late on purpose, was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. Wang Fugui and Sun Xiaomai stared at him and told him to remember it.
His eyes were blank. What did he remember?
He looked around and didn't see Shen Qing. He had clearly calculated everything well and had just heard some scolding. So why was the situation completely different from what he expected after he arrived?
What went wrong?
When the onlookers saw that Wang Jiahong's family had left and there was no more show to watch, they returned with a sense of unfulfilled desire and lay down to sleep contentedly.
*
After the quarrel between Wang and Zhou Chuncao, the two families were like black-eyed chickens when they met. Not only did they not talk to each other, but they also seemed to want to pounce on each other and peck at each other's heads.
The way the villagers looked at them changed, and there was always a sense of wanting to say something but stopping.
But it was a good thing for Shen Qing because no one paid attention to her family anymore.
In the morning, Zheng Hui quietly brought fish, shrimp, eels and loaches, and exchanged them for rice and flour. Shen Qing picked out the worthless fish to eat at home, and sold the rest to the mall.
Earned three hundred and forty yuan!
Although it is much less than before, it is good to have an income when you are away from home, and if it can be stable, the monthly income will exceed ten thousand!
With the income, Shen Qing felt full of energy again.
The Hong family had gained more than 30 kilograms of rice and flour in two days, and they were even happier than Shen Qing.
For breakfast, Zheng Hui personally scooped out half a bowl of rice and asked her eldest daughter-in-law to cook rice porridge.
Add one and a half bowls of white flour to the corn flour, knead it into dough, and wrap it with blanched wild vegetables to make wild vegetable dumplings.
When it was time to have breakfast, the daughters-in-law and their wives could still suppress their joy, but the children could not hide their feelings at all and jumped up and down with cheers!
"There's rice porridge to drink!"
"I'm having something solid to eat this morning! I don't have to just drink porridge."
People around looked at them with envy.
They sold the wheat for silver and bought corn, but they didn't know where the rest of the food would come from. Originally, they had two meals a day during the off-season, but they changed to three meals a day when fleeing famine. The frequency of meals had already increased, so how could they dare to eat dry food every meal?
Only the lunch meal was dry, while morning and evening meals were thin wild vegetable porridge.
The Hong family had always been like this, but today was really unusual as they had something dry to eat early in the morning.
Seeing that everyone around was looking at them, the child gradually calmed down and took the bowl and the wild vegetable dumplings.
The little girl came up to Zheng Hui, and asked with a hint of worry in her joy: "Mom, do we have enough food to eat?"
Zheng Hui stroked her daughter's furry head and said lovingly, "Don't worry, eat. You've had a hard time these days. Only when you're full will you have the strength for the journey."
Even if we eat frugally at home, we still have six or seven kilograms of food a day. Although thirty kilograms of rice and flour are not a lot, they can be eaten for many days when added together. It is better not to be frugal when exerting yourself. If your body collapses, you will be really finished.
After having a hearty breakfast, the Hong family felt like they had a lot more energy and walked in the team with their heads held high.
The others had eaten melons last night, and while pulling the cart today, they would occasionally glance at the back of the team.
The Zhang and Wang families at the back of the team had gloomy faces, so dark that water seemed to be dripping out of them.
Zhao Mingyue tried to suppress her laughter and muttered, "The past two days, Zhou Chuncao wanted to come over to see Sun Xiaomai eight times a day, and Zhang Heshun also got together with Wang Fugui from time to time. Today is really quiet."
She was a little unaccustomed to the silence.
Jiang Tian warned: "We won't be quiet for a few days. Neither of these two families is content and will cause trouble again."
Zhao Mingyue looked at her husband in surprise, thinking that it couldn't be possible. They caused such a big commotion last night, and the Wang couple hated Zhou Chuncao, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so how could they reconcile without any further conflict?
Why doesn't she believe it?
Jiang Tian was not interested in the affairs of the Zhang and Wang families. He was always paying attention to the entire team.
With Shen Qing's help, the Jiang family did business, bought large livestock, and saved some money, so they didn't have to worry about anything overall.
For some reason, the Hong family seemed to be in much better spirits today. The Feng family was as energetic as ever. The Qin family was okay, but the Zhao family was not doing so well... It should be the injury on Boss Zhao's head that affected the mood of the whole family. He saw Boss Zhao's face was pale in the morning, and it was probably serious.
If it gets serious in the wilderness, it could be fatal.
"Boss, what are you looking at?" Zhao Mingyue looked forward with Jiang Tian, but couldn't see what was going on.
Jiang Tian withdrew his gaze and was about to speak when he heard the Zhao family members in front of him exclaim: "Boss, what's wrong with you!"
"father!"
“Big Brother!”
There was chaos in the middle of the team.
