Chapter 54 An Unpleasant Episode (2/2)



Captain Liu couldn't remain silent at this point. "Liu Er, what's going on at home? I remember you split up the family property and earned your own work points to feed yourself. It couldn't be that you didn't have enough to eat. Why do you keep eating at other people's houses all day?"

Speaking of this, Liu Er was also very angry. He glared at his embarrassing wife and said, "Why else could it be that she took all our food back to her parents' home. There is not enough food at home."

Oh! It turns out it was all my own fault.

When everyone heard this reason, they felt pity for Liu Er, but also thought it was ridiculous. He couldn't even get enough to eat at home, yet he was still carrying food back to his mother's house. He would rather go out with his children to beg for food and cause dislike. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Why don't you get out of here?" Liu Er's face turned red and he yelled at his wife. He had never felt so embarrassed before.

Liu Er's wife was reluctant to leave, because the big bowl on the table was full of meat. But her husband was angry, and she dared not disobey him, otherwise she would be beaten that night.

Liu Er's wife held the child who was crying and asking for meat and reluctantly let him go, and the farce was over.

Liu Er apologized to Song Yunyu, "Song Zhiqing, I'm really sorry. My wife is uneducated and can't speak well. Please don't mind."

Song Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, just eat quickly." Then she pulled Aunt Wang and Fangfang back to the backyard.

It's impossible for everything to be alright. From now on, no matter what work comes up, Liu Er will never be asked to do it again. While Liu Er's wife was shameless and rude in today's incident, does that mean Liu Er has no responsibility at all? Not necessarily. As the saying goes, if you're not from the same family, you won't enter the same house.

Anyway, she wants to stay away from this kind of confused and ungrateful person, the farther the better.

Although there was a not-so-pleasant incident during the meal, everyone still enjoyed the meal very much in the end. These grown men who usually didn't enter the kitchen actually helped out with chores after the meal, wiping the table and sweeping the floor, serving dishes and fetching water, and even taking the borrowed things back to the village to return them, saving Song Yun and Aunt Wang a lot of trouble.

Song Yun filled a bowl of stewed meat in Aunt Wang's house and asked Aunt Wang to take it home to eat in the evening. At noon, she asked Fangfang to invite their whole family to eat. At last, Captain Liu came. Fangfang said that it was Aunt Wang who didn't allow them to, and these dishes were just right to be taken back for Fangfang's elder brother and sister-in-law to try.

After everyone had left and the kitchen was cleaned up, Song Yun finally had time to look at the kang that had just been built today.

The overall shape of the kang at that time was similar to the one she remembered in later life, except that it lacked some aesthetic appeal and was noticeably gray. However, this was easy to fix: she could find some suitable fabric or something to make a kang cover, which would make it look more beautiful.

I found some pictures online and took a look at them.

Remembering what the kang maker had told her, Song Yun asked Qi Mo'nan and Zi Yi to bring firewood. The newly built kang had to be burned first to dry it, then dried in the shade. It could only be used after two days when it was completely dry.

By the way, take a look at how the cigarette lighter is made, whether it will cause smoke or something like that. If there is something wrong, rework it while there is still time.

Soon, the kangs in the four rooms were lit up and then placed in the shade to dry. Given the current weather, they should be ready to use after two days of shade.

The two adults and one child spent an entire afternoon cleaning up all four rooms. Once Carpenter Liu delivered the custom-made furniture, they would be able to live in a decent room.
