Chapter 162 No Work, No Food



"Dabao, the car is not mine. It was given to us by someone else. As long as you study hard, you will be able to afford a car in the future. Everyone will be able to buy a car. It will be a reality in the near future."

Dabao smiled innocently: "Grandma said that if I follow Sister Xiangnan into business, our family will be able to afford a car."

"Don't run after me. You're sweating all over in this hot weather. Come home for some candy later."

Xiangnan bought a lot of food in the provincial capital this time, including many snacks that are not sold in An County, which are just right for these children.

The car stopped at the door, and Aunt Zhou ran out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in her hand: "You're back. Weren't you going to the provincial capital? Why are you back so soon?"

"I came back right after the birthday banquet. My boss's family sent a car to take me there quickly. Otherwise, I would have to come back tomorrow."

Xiang Nan said as she walked to Zhang Ying and her friends' car. She opened the door and untied Zhang Ying: "Come down, don't even think about running away. There are so many women traffickers here. If you run away and get kidnapped, don't blame me."

Ji Nini got out of the car and looked at the newly built workshop by Xiangnan and his family. It was such a big house with running water and tiled walls. This... was not worse than the house they lived in.

That’s right, Brother Huode’s family is rich, how could they let them live in a shabby house?

Huo De asked the driver to go into the house to rest. They would stay here to look after Ji Nini and Zhang Ying and then take them back when the time comes.

There were many rooms in Xiangnan’s new house, so he cleared out one room for each of them.

The two sighed: "It's my first time on a business trip and I can even stay in a single room."

Normally, drivers would rarely give them private rooms, and they would usually stay in a guesthouse with three or four people in it.

Zhang Ying wanted to escape, but seeing that there was no one around and no cars around, how could she run? On foot?

Ji Nini looked around the workshop curiously: "Xiangnan, why are there so many people in your family?"

"This is my workshop. They are making bean curd sheets, which are sold to various units in the county.

Come over and eat the melons. Rest today. Get up early tomorrow morning and go to work in the fields. I'll let you experience what it's like to be a country bumpkin."

Ji Nini said enviously, "I don't think you guys are from the countryside at all. You have such a big house, running water, and so many people working for you. You can make money just by sitting at home.

You even have a refrigerator at home."

Xiangnan arranged a room for Ji Nini and Zhang Ying respectively. Ji Nini's room was not hot, but Zhang Ying's room was facing west and was very hot at night.

In order to prevent Zhang Ying from doing something stupid and running away, Xiangnan asked Aunt Jiang to stay at home for a few days, sleep in the same room with Zhang Ying and watch over her.

Of course Zhang Ying objected in every way and even cursed, but she quieted down after Xiang Nan slapped her.

"Remember what you are here for. Do whatever I tell you to do, or you will be taken to the Public Security Bureau for detention. This is my territory. Do you think this is some provincial capital?

I can make you half dead, understand?"

Zhang Ying didn't dare to scream anymore.

"You come to our country, I won't support you for nothing. You have to earn your own food and shelter. You can earn fifty cents for half a day herding cattle, and you can eat whatever you pick up in the fields. If you pick up less, you will eat less. If you pick up nothing, you will starve to death.

Accommodation at my house costs fifty cents a day. You have to water and fertilize the vegetables yourself, otherwise you will just have to eat rice.

You don't have to sweep or mop the floor, but you have to wash your own clothes. Remember, you are not here to live like a daughter. If you are obedient, I will torture you less. If you are not obedient, I have plenty of ways to torture you."

Ji Nini asked: "What about me? I brought money!"

"If you want to experience it with her, just follow her. If you don't want to, you can go out and have fun. I'll take you to the county town when I have time."

The three brothers of the Huo family came back from selling cakes and saw two pretty girls. They were a little overwhelmed, especially Huo Yun: "Sister-in-law...why...why did you bring a girl back? No...could it be that the Huo family chose a girl for my brother?"

"It's not your brother's partner, it's someone I found for you." Xiang Nan said with a smile: "How about it, do you like it?"

"No, no, sister-in-law, please don't find me one. I can't afford it. These two girls look difficult to raise."

She was so fair and clean, and the clothes she wore were much better than the ones they wore. How could he afford to support a girl like her?

“That’s right, you’ve been out a lot and have such a keen eye, so how come you can’t afford it? You’re an investor now.

Own a house in the county town and shares in a dyeing factory, and within two years you'll be a millionaire."

"Sister-in-law, please stop joking. I...I'm saving money to buy a car. How can I have money to support a wife? Show it to my second brother first."

Xiangnan burst out laughing: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, these two are from your eldest brother's family, and they came from the provincial capital to experience country life.

Don't take them too seriously, just tell them what to do."

"Really... can you really tell them to do it? Is there something wrong with these city girls? Why would they come to the countryside and suffer like this?

They'll be tanned black in just two days."

"You have a hat, so just wear it."

The three brothers of the Huo family went to see Huo De and learned about Zhang Ying's situation. They could see that her face was not looking good.

Because Zhang Ying offended Xiangnan, everyone who saw her in the workshop would roll their eyes at her.

At five o'clock the next morning, just as it was light, Aunt Jiang dug Zhang Ying out of bed and said, "Hurry up and harvest before the sun comes out."

When the sun comes out, you'll be in trouble."

"I don't want it! I want to sleep. You're making so much noise. Get out of here!" Zhang Ying pushed Aunt Jiang away, but how could she be as strong as Aunt Jiang who often did farm work?

Aunt Jiang didn't care about her and dragged her off the bed.

Zhang Ying lay on the ground, unable to open her eyes. Aunt Jiang left her and took a basin of water and poured it directly on her: "This is not your home. You have to work when you are told to."

She threw away the basin and dragged her out. She had heard about the vicious things this girl had done. If Xiangnan hadn't been so smart, she would have been killed by her in the provincial capital.

He's so young, but he has such a vicious heart.

Zhang Ying was dragged outside by Aunt Jiang. Her children were also lazy when they were young, and she dealt with them in the same way, so she didn't feel any burden at all.

Aunt Jiang ate two buns and a bowl of porridge, and also gave some to Zhang Ying, but she lay on the table and slept without eating. Aunt Jiang ignored her and told her not to eat, so she told her not to cry when she was hungry.

After eating, Aunt Jiang dragged the half-asleep Zhang Ying out of the door. Xiangnan's rice was ripe and ready to be harvested.

The three brothers of the Huo family will come to help with the harvest soon, but they haven't arrived yet. Aunt Jiang dragged Zhang Ying to the edge of the field and started to cut the millet with a sickle.

After a while, the sun came out and Zhang Ying was still able to sleep. That was her ability.

If you don’t work, you won’t have to eat today. Xiangnan said that she has to earn her food through her own labor.
