Chapter 68: Hooligan
When Su Tong took things out of the cellar of the firewood warehouse one by one, Ma Daming and his son were stunned.
Shitou was even more impressed by Su Tong, "Sister Tongya, when did you dig the cellar?"
"I already had it. I found it when I was cleaning on the first day, and I just happened to use it this time."
Ma Daming said: "Old Wu fought in wars when he was young and has seen a lot. I guess he dug this cellar just to be prepared for any eventuality."
Wang Guilan came and made a scene, but she didn't gain any advantage and was asked to compensate Wu Tong for his losses. After returning, she was called to the village office by a loudspeaker for three consecutive days to be educated.
Smashing his daughter's house was secondary. The main problem was that it damaged the collective honor of the village, destroyed the image of Yunshan Village, seriously exposed the village's shortcomings in front of superiors and reporters, and caused very bad effects.
Secretary Wu also said that now is the critical moment for evaluating "advanced villages" and everyone should supervise each other and not allow anyone to fall behind.
The villagers don't care about honor or not, but they also know that "Advanced Village" can bring benefits. For example, the tractor in the village was replaced by the new tractor from the neighboring village after it was named "Advanced Village".
Some advanced villages are even equipped with threshers, unlike their village, where they still have to let old oxen pull stones and roll them in circles during the autumn harvest.
This led to a result that no matter what Wang Guilan did, the villagers would keep an eye on her. They thought, "We can't interfere if you want to make trouble for our own daughter, but if it affects our village's evaluation as advanced, that's not okay."
Wang Guilan wanted to find trouble again but couldn't find an opportunity. She was so angry that she kept spinning around in the room and said to Wu Dongling angrily:
"Send a telegram to your brother and ask him to come back! I don't believe that I can't cure that girl."
Wu Jiafu is also a well-known gangster in Yunshan Village. He is not on the same level as Wu Erlaizi.
Although Wu Erlaizi is also a gangster, he has only one mother in his family and has no support since childhood. He is a typical bully who only fears the strong and has no special abilities. He is just disgusting.
Wu Jiafu is Wu Dashan’s first son. Several generations of elders in his family look down on him, which has led to his arrogant and domineering character.
He has been bullying Wu Tong since he was a child. When Wu Tong was a child, he had a fever for three days and three nights. It was in the middle of winter that Wu Tong was pushed into a pond by Wu Jiafu. As a result, Wu Tong almost lost his life, but the whole family didn't even blame Wu Jiafu.
Wu Jiafu was spoiled since childhood and could not do farm work. When he was a little older, he followed a group of equally idle hooligans to cheat and defraud people. He was a frequent visitor to the police station for education.
This summer he suddenly said that he had met an important man and wanted to go with him to other places to try his luck. Then he was gone for three months and when he came back he gave his family 30 yuan, which was unprecedented, saying that it was earned by him. He also asked his family to prepare more for the bride price because he was going to marry a woman from the city and the other party would lose face if the bride price was not enough!
Wang Guilan was so excited that she wanted to go to her ancestors' graves to pay respect. She told everyone that her Dabao had become successful, made a lot of money, and was going to marry a woman from the city!
It has been almost three months since Wu Jiafu went out.
Wu Dongling was always thinking about Wu Tong's iron thermos. Although she had no good life after her elder brother came back, thinking about making Wu Tong suffer, she still took out half a piece of paper with the address written on it from the drawer and went to send a telegram excitedly.
Wang Guilan didn't cause trouble again, and Su Tong was happy to have some free time.
Ma Daming only spent one day to build the kang, added fine firewood, and slowly baked it over a low fire. When it was half dry, he had to apply mud again, repair the flue, and then burn it over a high fire...
While the kang was being heated, Ma Daming helped to repair several leaks on the roof and the yard, especially the yard door.
By the time the kang was completely dry, Zheng Liangping had finished his bamboo weaving work.
Su Tong entertained several people with delicious food and drinks for several days, and finally paid Zheng Liangping and Ma Daming according to the highest standard. Ma Daming refused to accept it, but he couldn't get away from Su Tong...
In the end, not only him, but even Shi Tou, who had helped with the work for a few days, was given a small wage.
The father and son were both ashamed and happy, but when they returned home and handed the money to Shitou Niang as Tongya said, the broom that had been prepared long ago did not fall.
Although Zheng Liangping didn't say anything when he paid the wages, he silently delivered a pile of baskets, baskets, and other things a few days later.
What made Su Tong happiest was that there was a backpack, which was much more exquisite and beautiful than her old one.
On the fourth day of taking the medicine, Aunt Cuifen struggled to get out of bed, hunched over and began to busy herself inside and outside the house.
When Su Tong met Aunt Cuifen, she did not try to persuade her much, because she knew that farmers were not destined to be wealthy.
No one knew where Wu Erlaizi had gone. She hadn't been seen for several days. There was a lot of work going on at home and outside, and she couldn't lie down even if she was forced to.
I just told her to keep warm and avoid cold water. She has lung problems and it would be more troublesome if they recurred.
That day, Su Tong came out of Aunt Cuifen's house. Before she had walked far, Wu Erlaizi jumped out from the bushes on the side of the road and blocked her way.
Su Tong frowned. He couldn't see clearly last time at night, but when he saw him in broad daylight, he saw that Wu Erlaizi had greasy and tangled hair and wore a tattered cotton jacket with a shiny greasy chest. It had been unknown how long since it was washed. It was really a sight that made people "stay away from him".
"Hey! Sister Tongya! Are you going to treat my mother's illness again?"
Wu Erlaizi's tone actually revealed a hint of pride.
Su Tong gave him a look of disgust. She was in a good mood today and didn't want to dirty her hands, so she walked around him and prepared to leave.
"Hey! Hey! Don't go! I haven't finished talking yet!" Wu Erlaizi turned around and tried to hold her.
Su Tong thought he was dirty, so he stepped back and said angrily:
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out!"
"Tsk! Don't be angry! Look, we are all family! If you really count, I'm still your cousin!"
Su Tong looked around and saw that there were not many people on this road, which was good.
Seeing that Su Tong had no objection, Wu Erlaizi grinned and stretched out his fingers to her and twisted them.
"Hey, sister! I'm a little short of money lately, can you please…"
Su Tong raised his leg and kicked, hitting Wu Erlaizi right in the chest.
Wu Erlaizi was caught off guard and flew a long distance away, curling up on the road and wailing.
Su Tong rubbed the soles of his shoes on the dry grass beside him, without even giving him a glance, and walked away.
