Wang Zhaozhao's mind was racing with calculations. Her first pot of gold was the two yuan her third aunt had compensated her with, plus the annual New Year's money, and the two cents her grandparents each gave her. That added up to twenty cents. Her two aunts would also give her a few cents and a dime every year...
Hehe, including this one today, it’s exactly three pieces!
well……
Wang Zhaozhao sighed secretly.
"What are you doing?" Wang Sibing asked with amusement, "You are so young, why are you sighing?"
"..." Wang Zhaozhao pursed his lips, smiled, and stood up. "Fourth Uncle, work hard. I'm going back first to watch the show."
After saying that, he ran away.
She sighed because the three dollars she had carefully saved were enough to pay for three periods of tuition, but the reason she couldn't go to school was that money was a big problem, but the most important thing was that she had to get the adults' approval.
…
In Wang Dahai's yard, Zhang Xiu'e poked Zhou Xiaoqin's head and called her a pig-brained person. Zhou Xiaoqin refused to accept this, so Zhang Xiu'e, furious, grabbed her and dragged her out...
Well.
Xie Ailian appeared with one foot in the mud.
"Mom..." Zhang Xiu'e called out awkwardly, her eyes flickering as she asked, "Mom, are you back here to use the restroom too?"
She knew that the bitch Wang Zhaozhao ran away to make a fuss in the fields.
After being a stepmother and daughter for five years, Zhang Xiu'e knew Wang Zhaozhao quite well and tried to ignore her as much as possible. That was the conclusion she came to after continuous trial and error.
That girl has her own little tricks up her sleeve and is hard to handle.
Only Shi Haiyan, that stupid woman with only mouth and no brains, would never give up.
"I heard that your cousin is here, and she's here to be the fourth son's wife..." Xie Ailian had a fake smile on her face.
Zhang Xiu'e's scalp tingled. She glared at Zhou Xiaoqin fiercely and interrupted her, "Mom, what are you talking about? What do you mean by becoming the fourth son's wife?"
She was not completely innocent in this matter, but it was certainly not her who called Zhou Xiaoqin here.
However, she knew what Zhou Xiaoqin and their family were planning.
A widow with a child and a child married off for two hundred yuan, every time she went home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, wouldn't her aunts and uncles tell her about it with envy? She would also get a little carried away, bragging about how good her life was and how she could control Wang Erbing...
"Aunt, my name is Zhou Xiaoqin, I'm Jing Yatou's cousin, I'm eighteen years old this year... um..." Zhou Xiaoqin forced a smile that she thought was extremely well-behaved and lovely, and walked towards Xie Ailian. Zhang Xiu'e reacted, rushed over and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Mom, this is my cousin Zhou Xiaoqin. She missed Jing girl, so she brought some eggs to see her. Now that I'm done, I'm leaving." Zhang Xiu'e said to Xie Ailian with a wry smile, without even looking at her, but warning Zhou Xiaoqin with her eyes.
“Mmm…”
Zhang Xiu'e also used a ruthless force, and no matter how Zhou Xiaoqin struggled, she couldn't break free.
"That Jing girl's aunt is very thoughtful." Xie Ailian said lightly.
"..." Zhang Xiu'e pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, and her smile was uglier than crying.
Zhou Xiaoqin was dragged out by force, her heart drooping. She had hidden a dozen eggs with great difficulty, planning to find a chance to send them back to her parents' home one day, but now she had to take them out to fill the hole.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Zhou Xiaoqin angrily pushed Zhang Xiu'e away as she was forcibly dragged out of the yard.
What's going on? Didn't we agree to let her come and meet Wang Sibing?
She was not stupid. Looking at Zhang Xiu'e's behavior just now, she could tell that the people in Old Wang's family didn't know anything about this.
"There was no such thing as a meeting. Did you lie to my mother?" She suddenly grabbed Zhang Xiu'e and asked her angrily.
Zhang Xiu'e pulled her away and said, "What do you mean by 'I want to meet you or not'? When did I lie to your mother? When did I ever tell you to come and meet me?"
Without giving Zhou Xiaoqin a chance to react, Zhang Xiu'e dragged her out of the village, saying, "The meat that comes too early is not tasty. Do you want to help with the work during the double harvest? That's worthless..."
As he spoke, he forcibly sent the person out of the village.
That episode didn't cause any waves, but during this period Zhang Xiu'e became much more active in doing housework when she got home, and didn't leave it all to Liu Shanhua alone.
It was a busy twenty days. I went out to work as soon as the rooster crowed, and finished work around nine o'clock. I went back at four in the afternoon and worked until eight in the evening. I avoided the scorching heat, otherwise I couldn't stand it.
When the double harvest was over, not only the people but even the cows were tired and thin, and the kids all looked like they came from coal mining.
The brigade gave everyone three days off, but except for the scoundrels and lazy people, few adults were really idle. They went up the mountain to collect firewood and clean up their private plots. If they were too tired to move, they would just make straw ropes at home.
Wang Zhaozhao couldn't stay idle either, mainly because it was better to go out and relax than to stay at home. He shared the bed with Liu Shanhua.
She took Wang Weiguo to the river at the end of the village to see if they could catch some river shrimp or crabs for a snack...
When she accidentally looked at herself in the water, she was shocked. She looked darker and thinner, and her head looked very big, just like an African refugee.
"Sister Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Wang Weiguo called her a few times, but got no response, so he ran over and pulled her.
"I want to eat fried river shrimp with leeks. My eyes are watering just thinking about it." Wang Zhaozhao wiped away her tears and replied to him with nonsense.
Woo woo woo, what sin did she commit in her previous life...
After searching for several hours, Wang Zhaozhao returned.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about those useless things. The most important thing is to get something to eat.
The harvest wasn't big, but there were a few big river crabs, which made it quite rewarding.
"Wang Zhaozhao, you actually dare to go to Nanyan Mountain to catch shrimps..." When they returned to the village, Chen Ergou blocked their way.
Wang Zhaozhao looked at him coldly, and Wang Weiguo followed suit.
Chen Ergou: “……!”
Wang Zhaozhao was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked around to the side.
Chen Ergou reached out to pull the small bucket that Wang Weiguo was holding, wanting to see how many shrimps they had caught, but Wang Zhaozhao opened it with a winnowing basket. The winnowing basket was made of bamboo, which Wang Zhaozhao used to catch shrimps. It was soaked in water, and it was similar to using a rattan stick soaked in water to beat people.
No matter how many shrimps or crabs are added to the dish, it will taste meaty. This bastard actually wants to steal their food? Does he want to die?
Chen Ergou touched his burning hand, but was pushed away by Wang Zhaozhao in annoyance, "A good dog doesn't block the road."
After saying that, he raised the dustpan and pointed at Chen Ergou, with a strong warning tone.
Some people just owe it.
snort!
Wang Zhaozhao snorted coldly and left with Wang Weiguo.
“…”
Chen Ergou absolutely refused to admit that he was scared by Wang Zhaozhao, but he just swallowed his saliva.
"Why does this stinky girl Wang Zhaozhao seem a bit evil?"
Chen Daqiang ran out and grabbed Chen Ergou, who staggered, muttering to himself.
"Bullshit about being evil! If you had come out just now, couldn't we have beaten her together?" Chen Ergou reacted and screamed in anger.
"Have you got enough beef?"
“…”
