"Widow Liu's family is wealthy, and since she couldn't bring herself to buy venison herself, she paid an extra five cents per pound and asked me to buy it for her.
"I also bought one, so we can stew venison tonight."
When Mrs. Liu heard him mention Widow Liu, she quickly winked at him.
Unfortunately, Mr. Ye was tall and strong and stood between the two people, blocking them completely.
However, Boss Ye had seen him before when he was selling venison. At that time, he heard Ye Juan'er introduce him as Wang Fugui, who ran a grocery store in the village.
Because he bought more than three pounds of pork belly, which was considered a relatively large amount, Boss Ye was quite impressed by him.
"Brother Fugui." Boss Ye greeted him with a smile.
"Hey, boss, you're here." Wang Fugui looked embarrassed when he saw Boss Ye.
When he went to buy venison before, he was still thinking that seeing that Boss Ye was a capable man, he thought that he should establish a good relationship with him, and maybe he could make some money from him in the future.
Who knew that before he could think of a way to get closer to her, it would become so awkward.
Fortunately, Boss Ye did not say anything about buying meat for Widow Liu. After a few words of greeting, he left with his daughter in his arms.
After coming out of the grocery store, Ye Lao Da asked, "Qingtian, can Daddy carry you around the village?"
"Okay!" Qingtian held the sesame candy in one hand and put his arm around Boss Ye's neck with the other.
She actually likes to stick with Boss Ye and Sister Ye, but they have been very busy lately. Except for going back to the house at night, they basically have no time to spend with Qingtian.
So whenever there is a chance, Qingtian is willing to follow behind them like a little tail.
When Qingtian heard that Boss Ye was going to take her to play in the village, she was so happy that she even hummed the nursery rhyme that Sister Ye had recently taught her.
"A colorful magpie stands on a tree branch, opens its mouth, and chirps. Embroidery needle, colorful thread, embroider a purse for mother..."
Boss Ye held her in his arms and strolled around the village for a long time.
From a distance, I saw Chunhua carrying a basket, coming out of a house and walking towards the back mountain.
Boss Ye walked over holding Qingtian, and when he saw the dilapidated wall and the yard overgrown with weeds, he knew it must be the old house of Widow Liu.
Widow Liu was in the yard cleaning the venison she had just bought from Wang Fugui.
As he packed up, he grumbled in dissatisfaction, "That little bastard Wang Fugui is really ruthless. I asked him to buy two pounds of venison for me, and he actually charged me ten cents more."
Wang Dalong was lying in the house. When he heard Widow Liu's nagging, he was so angry that he shouted at the top of his voice: "Whoever wants to eat his meat, throw it away!"
After he fell from the water truck into the icy river last night, he was stunned and was washed down in an instant.
Fortunately, he was a good swimmer. After choking on water twice at the beginning, he finally reacted and started to tread water hard to keep his head above water to breathe, so he did not drown.
But he was so frightened and cold that he no longer had the strength to swim up by himself. He could only swim up and down with the river. He was finally washed ashore when he reached a place downstream where the water level slowed down. He was finally found and carried back by the villagers.
But everyone in the village already knew about the bad things he had done, and they all treated him with disrespect.
After arriving home, Wang Dalong started to have a fever and his throat was very sore.
But this was not the most painful thing. What made him most uncomfortable was that after all the trouble he had put in, not only did he fail to hurt the Ye family at all, but he also got himself involved.
I was having a fever and feeling unwell, and the Ye family had actually brought back a sika deer.
So when Wang Dalong heard that Widow Liu had actually asked someone to buy venison at a high price, he became even more furious.
Upon hearing this, Widow Liu angrily threw the meat into the basin, stood up and shouted into the house, "Who am I buying venison for? Is it because I'm greedy?
"I'm already buried up to my neck in the earth, so what's the big deal if I eat one more or one less bite?
"I just felt sorry for you and wanted to buy it to nourish you? And you're still yelling at me?
"What sins did I commit in my previous life? Why is my life so miserable in this life—"
Widow Liu started wailing as she spoke, bringing up all sorts of old things, from how she had married into the Wang family to how her husband had died, to how her two sons were useless...
She would cry out these words every few days, and Wang Dalong's ears were so calloused from hearing them that he already felt uncomfortable, and hearing more of them made his headache worse.
If it were any other time, as soon as Widow Liu started saying this, Wang Dahu would have found an excuse to hide away.
But now everyone in the village is full of resentment towards the two brothers, and he dare not go out. He can only pull up the quilt to cover his head in annoyance.
Boss Ye held Qingtian in his arms and stood outside the dilapidated courtyard wall, listening to the chaos in Widow Liu's house. It couldn't be said that he was gloating, but he felt quite happy in his heart.
"My dear girl, let's go home!" Boss Ye turned around with Qingtian in his arms in a good mood, and happened to meet Chunhua who was carrying a basket of pig grass on her back.
When Chunhua saw the sunny day, her face turned red. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she closed it in disappointment.
Qingtian suddenly turned her head away and buried her little face in Boss Ye's neck, unwilling to look at Chunhua.
