Chapter 57 Diaphragm
Suddenly, a fat figure squeezed past her and sat down on the only remaining seat. He twisted his body to adjust his sitting position while holding the bag in his hand, muttering:
"Oh no! Fortunately I acted quickly, otherwise I would have missed the train!"
When Su Tong saw this person, he found that she looked familiar and was also from Yunshan Village. He searched through his memory and found that it was Pangdun's aunt.
Last name: Qian.
Everyone in the village calls her Aunt Qian.
"Well, his aunt, this seat is already taken." Zhou Bo Lao walked along this road and recognized many people in Yunshan Village. When he saw Su Tong's seat was taken, he spoke up.
Aunt Qian was holding a bundle and looked like she had just finished shopping. She rolled her eyes and said, "Why should I be so particular about riding a mule cart? Isn't it first come first served? This seat was empty when I came here!"
"This girl has already paid for the ride. She was just about to get on the bus."
The people around were also a little annoyed with Aunt Qian's behavior of grabbing seats, and echoed:
"Yes! She has put her things in the car, why don't you wait for the next trip!"
Next trip!
The next trip will have to wait until evening!
Aunt Qian rolled her eyes and then looked up at Su Tong. When she saw him, she immediately pointed at Su Tong and screamed.
"Oh my god! How dare you ride in the car with her? Do you know who this is?
This is the girl from the Wu family who brought bad luck to our village! I took a ride with her last time and almost lost my life!
My cousin, the one called Fatty, was almost killed by her yesterday, and he is still lying in the hospital now!"
When Aunt Qian shouted, everyone in the car looked at each other and their faces changed.
Dayan Village is adjacent to Yunshan Village, and the story of Wu Jia's Daya has been exaggerated and spread there over the years.
It's just that this girl has changed a lot now, and some people who had seen her before didn't recognize her at first. But now when Aunt Qian shouted, everyone recognized her.
One villager said directly to Uncle Zhou: "Uncle Zhou, the bus is full, let's go now!"
Someone had secretly pushed Su Tong's two sacks off the car. The sacks were filled with rice and flour. Although they were not broken, they still raised a cloud of dust when they fell to the ground.
Zhou Bo hesitated for a moment, and finally handed over the dime, "Girl, I'm sorry!"
Then he whipped his whip as if he was in a hurry and shouted, "Go - everyone is seated, ready to go!"
The mule cart started slowly, then gradually accelerated and drove away, without even giving her a chance to say a word.
Or, given Wu Tong's reputation, any explanation is futile. She is the disaster star and the plague god who brings disaster to everyone around her. This concept has been deeply rooted in everyone's mind.
The people on the bus seemed to be still in shock, looking at her from afar with eyes full of luck and contempt. I'm afraid they were all secretly glad that they had escaped a disaster and almost took the same bus with her.
Aunt Qian looked at her with an even more smug and vicious look, as if she really had almost killed Fatty.
Su Tong watched all this coldly. Ever since she returned to Yunshan Village with the original owner's identity as a disaster star, even though most people avoided her and spoke coldly to her, she never really cared.
This time, she truly felt the brutal and direct harm brought by this ignorant thinking. It was like being drenched in cold winter. There was no fairness and no reason at all.
Even though she just saved Fatty's life yesterday.
She even believed that Aunt Qian had come to the town to visit Fatty and must have known the truth.
But this is not even enough for a mule cart.
It would be fine if she didn't appreciate her saving Fatty's kindness, but it was really creative to say that Fatty's behavior of snatching other people's candy and almost choking to death was caused by her.
Su Tong sneered in his heart, picked up the two sacks upside down on the ground, and brushed off the dust.
Fortunately, these sacks are double-layered, with a layer of plastic film inside the outer sack to prevent the rice and noodles from getting dirty.
But it’s impossible to get a ride at this time, and the next one will have to wait until night. Transportation is already backward these days, and even if there are cars from other villages, they won’t be convenient.
Su Tong tidied the backpack again and rearranged the things inside.
The backpack weighs about 10 to 20 kilograms, and the two sacks weigh 20 kilograms each. The journey back to the village is more than ten miles, so at most we only have to carry the load for ten kilometers. This was a common training activity in the past.
Su Tong gritted her teeth. Besides feeling cold in her heart, it was also difficult for her to carry two sacks... Walking back was not difficult for her. She just regarded it as a physical training.
We walked and rested along the way, and it took us more than two hours to walk the more than ten miles.
When Su Tong walked back to the gate of the courtyard through the small path, he felt both his arms were numb and he was almost exhausted.
Although this body is used to doing rough work, its foundation is poor and it has not undergone special endurance and weight-bearing training. It is really a bit too much for it to suddenly walk this distance carrying the weight.
When I pushed open the gate, I found that the two old men had returned and were squatting in the yard, whispering something to each other. I guess the house over there in the cowshed had been almost finished, so they finished work much earlier than yesterday.
The two men turned around and saw Su Tong coming in with a lot of bags. They were stunned for a moment, then hurried forward to take the things from her hands and shoulders.
By the time Su Tong collapsed in the chair and drank a large bowl of water, the two old men had already consciously put away the things she had bought.
Although the car ride was unpleasant, she had already adjusted herself after digesting the experience along the way. She had made a note of it! She would get it back with interest if she had the chance!
But for now, I won’t keep it in my heart and make myself feel uncomfortable, otherwise I will be asking for trouble.
Today is a day for getting rich quickly, so I can’t let those trivial things affect my mood.
Su Tong took a stroll in the cowshed. The two old men completed their task very seriously. The cowshed was cleaned tidy. There was hay in the trough, and the fresh grass cut yesterday had not been eaten yet. There was not much work to do, so he tidied up casually and went to take a look at the newly built house next to the cowshed.
As expected, there is strength in numbers. It only took seven or eight people two days to build a nearly complete house.
It was tall and big, with doors and windows, and its area was several times larger than the original shack. It had neat earthen brick walls, and the roof was covered with green tiles. The tiles were probably leftovers, so there were not enough of them, so one corner was covered with a straw mat. However, it was much better than before.
In other words, the identities of the two old men are not suitable, otherwise a wall could be added in the middle to create a small two-bedroom apartment.
The main structure of the house has been completed. There are still some small tasks such as pasting the walls, installing windows and building a stove. They can be done by assigning one or two more workers. After a few days of drying, I estimate that the two old men will be able to move in and celebrate the New Year.
Su Tong felt very satisfied. Everything was going pretty much as she expected, or even better than she expected.
To the point that for a moment, she was actually worried that something else might go wrong.
