Chapter 71: Isn't it possible for Ma Qijun to do anything?
"Xiao Mei, wait a minute, this is just seven dollars, can't I compensate you?"
Ma Qijun was riding his bicycle towards the watermelon field, with Wang Minzhi following closely behind him.
His wife didn't ask him to stop, but he pedaled hard.
Ye Xiaomei now has a family fortune of more than 1,000 yuan. She built a rabbit cage and a sheep pen against the courtyard wall, which cost her more than 200 yuan in total. She has more than 800 yuan left, so she has enough money to buy a new rabbit.
But sometimes, she found that it was not the rabbit's problem at all, but the frustration left in her heart after they had been bullying Ye Xiaomei.
Although she looked weak and gentle in the eyes of others, she seldom cried. I remember the last time she cried was because she was scared after her grandmother beat her mother. After that, she found that crying was useless, so she stopped crying.
Today she just felt that the rabbit incident was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Xiao Mei, slow down. I can't catch up with you... Wait a minute."
Ye Xiaomei hugged the man's waist tightly and put her face on his back. She subconsciously looked behind her and found that Wang Minzhi had been left far away.
As soon as she arrived at the watermelon field, Ye Xiaomei saw her mother helping the bricklayers pick up some broken bricks and rotten stones.
The sheep pen has been cleaned and, according to what Xiaomei has learned, sprinkled with a layer of lime, which can disinfect and sterilize to prevent poisoning of the animals living in it in the future.
The rabbit cage was also filled with grass and is now covered with straw.
Ye Xiaomei put the rabbit in, leaned on her knees and looked at the big cotton balls dancing in the cage. A smile finally appeared on her lips.
Ma Qijun was relieved when he saw this, and he leaned over to whisper in his wife's ear: "I just found that rabbits are quite beautiful."
"Yeah, look, it's furry and white, doesn't it look like a cloud?"
"Yes." Ma Qijun quickly agreed, and after a long hesitation he asked, "Xiaomei, if you have any problems in the future, let me help you solve them. Just don't make yourself cry again."
Ye Xiaomei retracted her fingers that were teasing the little rabbit and looked sideways at the man. After a long moment, she pursed her lips firmly and said, "Hmm."
She won't cry anymore. She cried so hard today simply because she had been suppressed for too long. Ye Xiaomei believed that the man would never let her suffer any injustice in the future.
"You..." Ma Qijun suddenly pointed at Ye Xiaomei's face.
"What's wrong with me?" Ye Xiaomei thought there was something on her face and rubbed it randomly.
At this moment, Zhang Tiezhu came over tiredly with a tile knife in his hand and patted Ma Qijun on the shoulder: "Brother Jun, it's done. Take a look and see if you are satisfied."
Ye Xiaomei knew that most of the workers she hired were from the same village: "Brother Zhang's skills are really good. I think they are pretty good."
Who would have thought that after just these words, Zhang Tiezhu's eyes would stare at Ye Xiaomei's face and neck, he would open his mouth and then burst out laughing.
This stunned Ye Xiaomei.
"Haha, sister-in-law, it's okay. We are all young people. After all, Jun is a little more active in that aspect." Zhang Tiezhu said, patting Ma Qijun on the shoulder:
"You are amazing. Tell me, will I be able to drink your full moon wine soon?"
Ye Xiaomei's face suddenly changed color. She quickly turned around and faced away from everyone, her hands constantly touching her face and neck: Oh no, could it be that I cried and washed off the whitening cream?
"Tell me again, whose full-moon wine did you drink?" Ma Qijun's face was cold and stern. He dared to talk about the marks on his wife's face? He was quite brave.
The smile on Zhang Tiezhu's face froze for a few seconds, and he immediately understood what he meant: "I'm sorry, Jun brother, I meant your child's full-month celebration, not yours. I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
Ma Qijun then let the boy go. When he turned around to look for his wife, he found the rabbit cage was empty.
Looking around, I only saw the girl running away in panic, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
Ye Xiaomei ran so vigorously that she had to cover her face with one hand and hold her collar with the other.
It was just lunch time, and some people hadn't finished yet and were chatting on the village road at the entrance with their bowls in hand. The area under the big tree was full of people.
"Xiao Mei, why are you so flustered?"
"Xiao Mei, has your mother finished building the wall?"
"Hey, Xiaomei, what's going on with your face?"
Ye Xiaomei didn't bother to reply, just ignored him and ran back home.
"Xiao Mei, where did I just go...Xiao Mei?"
Wang Lan had just prepared a table full of food and went to the field to call for help. She said that since the work was done today, she had to treat them to a meal no matter what, otherwise others would say that the Ma family was incompetent.
But what's wrong with this daughter-in-law?
He ran to the window of the new house across the street and knocked on it: "Xiao Mei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Xiaomei quickly applied whitening cream on her face: "It's okay, Mom. I just feel it's a bit hot outside. It's better to cool down inside."
It's not just the heat, my face is all red.
No, next time you have to tell Qijun not to kiss her on the face so aggressively, otherwise how can you go out?
"That's good." Wang Lan heard that Xiao Mei was fine, took off her apron and muttered, "I'll go to the watermelon field and ask your mother and a few workers to come home for dinner. Come out and eat when you've cooled down."
"I got it, Mom." Ye Xiaomei looked around. The coverage was pretty good, but she didn't know how many days it would take to disappear.
Thinking about the teeth marks on Ma Qijun's left collarbone, Xiao Mei raised her chin and said shyly: You deserve it...
Ye family.
Wang Minzhi chased all the way to the Ma family's watermelon field and learned that Ye Xiaomei was no longer there. So, she came back with a worried look on her face:
"Mom, do you think I should go to the Ma family now and give them the seven yuan?"
Li Cuihua sighed: "This girl is getting more and more outrageous. Just go away and save yourself from trouble. Humph, this damn girl has become wild because of her in-laws. I wonder how long you can be wild."
Ye Xiaolin leaned against the doorstep of the east room and said slowly:
"Grandma, Mom, I don't understand what you are afraid of."
"Why aren't you afraid?" Li Cuihua slammed the table and stood up: "If you hadn't said that, would this have happened?"
"Xiao Lin, just say less and don't make your grandma angry." Wang Minzhi continued, "This is just a trivial matter. If the government officials come to our house, it will have a bad impact. People who don't know will think we have done something heinous."
Ye Xiaolin brushed her clothes and walked out: "Mom, even if Ye Xiaomei goes to the police station and kneels down, it will be useless. Have you forgotten that Zhang Changjiang's uncle is the director?"
When Wang Minzhi heard this, her eyes widened. She looked at her mother-in-law and slapped her thigh: "Mom, that's right, how could I have forgotten this."
Ye Xiaolin raised her chin and said, "As long as I say hello to Changjiang, this thing won't work. I just don't believe that eating one of her rabbits can make a big fuss. No matter who gets used to her bad habits, I won't get used to them. I'm going to go out for a while."
Having said that, Ye Xiaolin walked out of the door triumphantly and first went to borrow a bicycle from Wang Juan.
Under the trees at the entrance of the village, some elderly ladies were chatting about something and laughing so hard that they were rolling on the ground.
I could only hear it clearly when I got closer.
"Did you see Qijun's wife's neck? How violent must that night have been?"
"You didn't notice, Qijun's wife's face is all covered with it, hahahaha, I'm scared, they need to get a sturdy bed, or it will collapse in the middle of the night."
"Hahaha, auntie, you really know how to joke."
"You guys, didn't you notice his wife's feet? They're all there."
"Hahaha……"
"I'm telling the truth. My man was also like a wolf when he was young."
"Hahaha, no wonder you only have one baby every year. You give birth more frequently than the donkeys in the birthing team in previous years..."
Ye Xiaolin was slightly startled, his mind buzzing, how is this possible?
Ye Xiaolin quickened his pace and rushed into Wang Juan's house without knocking: "Wang Juan, where are you?"
