Chapter 281: Beating the Chest and Stamping the Feet
"Aunt Yao!"
Seeing a familiar figure appear at the intersection, Dalang immediately shouted. Seeing the person next to the carriage raised his hand and waved in response, his heart finally settled down.
Uncle Jiu, who was sent out by the village chief, had just arrived in the town when the matter was already settled. Now he followed Qin Yao and the others back.
Seeing the anxious figure of the village chief from afar, Uncle Jiu quickened his pace and came to the village chief first, holding a bag of eggs that he had received for free, and said cheerfully: "Look, these are the eggs that Madam Qin brought everyone to Wang Mawu Farm and brought back freshly."
The village chief was a little confused. Upon looking, he found that Liu Bo, Liu Qi and others who were following the carriage were holding things in their hands. Some of them were fruits and vegetables, and some were holding half a plate of snacks.
Yes, even the plates were brought back!
Old Man Liu and his clansmen, who had been waiting anxiously, were stunned in an instant.
"Aren't you going to rescue people? Where are the three old men?" Old Man Liu asked worriedly.
Liu Bo nodded and said that Liu Ji was alive and well. The two young men, Liu Fei and Liu Qi, laughed and told the story of the exciting events that had happened before.
Of course, there is a bit of exaggeration in this story. Liu Zhong and a group of female workers who were unable to attend the event were so excited after hearing this!
Liu Fei: "What a bully Wang Mawu is! When you meet our chief steward Qin, you have to return the stolen items in full!"
Liu Qi: "I even ran to call the police. The scene was bloody, but guess what? Our chief steward Qin was sitting there, and the bully Wang Mawu was fanning her with leaves. He was so respectful."
Shunzi turned the things in his hand in front of the workers and said, "Look, look! These are all apologies!"
He slapped her thigh fiercely, "Oh my dear mother, if I had known that you could carry some food away after you were full, I would have ignored the food in the pot and picked up the firewood stick to go with you!"
Now when she sees what other people have in their hands, she feels so uncomfortable!
Mrs. Qiu had no choice but to remind her eldest sister-in-law: "Didn't our eldest brother and the fourth child also bring back things? I saw the fourth child was holding a sausage in his hand."
"Really?" He hurried to look for Liu Fei. The young man and Liu Qi were surrounded by villagers and workers, and were broadcasting the situation like a storyteller, chattering non-stop.
However, there was indeed a sausage among the things in his hand. He breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.
but
"Manager Qin!" He pushed aside the villagers who had gathered in front of the carriage and pointed at the factory. "Lunch was ready, but no one got to eat. Only us female workers ate, and there was still a big pot of food left. What should we do?"
The weather is hot, so the food can't be left out. "How about sharing it with everyone and taking it home?"
Qin Yao didn't care about these things. She was telling the workers involved in this incident to keep a low profile in the future and not to show off in front of Wang Mawu and others because of this incident.
I only had time to nod to He, meaning that you and your second sister-in-law should handle it.
He understood, turned around and called Qiu, and the two of them went in to work first.
Qin Yao gave instructions to the workers and waved her hand, "Thank you for your hard work today. Now that the matter has been resolved, go back to the factory and continue working. I will ask Manager Liu Zhong to buy several dozen kilograms of meat for everyone, so that we can have a full meal of meat!"
Everyone loved to hear the latter sentence, which immediately caused a cheer.
Only after the workers returned to the factory happily did Old Man Liu and others have the opportunity to get close to Qin Yao.
The four brothers and sisters of Dalang had already got into the carriage. Looking at their miserable father in the carriage, they went forward one by one to pay their respects to him and then left the carriage.
Liu Ji coughed twice, and the old man Liu outside the car asked hurriedly: "How is the third brother?"
Qin Yao replied: "The doctor has already prescribed some medicine. Just take good care of yourself for a while."
"Let me take a look." Old man Liu was a little worried and wanted to get in the car to see how Liu Ji was doing.
Dalang didn't dare let his grandfather go to see it because the old man was too old to bear the stimulation.
Then he winked at his younger brother and sister-in-law, and the four brothers and sisters said in unison that they had checked and that Dad was fine, with only some minor injuries.
Afraid that Old Man Liu wouldn't believe him, Erlang said, "It's much lighter than what A-niang gave me."
Old man Liu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. Let's go home first. We can talk about it with our family later."
From the tone of voice, it seems that everyone is planning to go to Qin Yao's house for dinner tonight.
Qin Yao nodded, signaled Awang to drive the carriage, and led the four children to follow behind the carriage and go home to prepare first.
As soon as they arrived home and settled Liu Ji, who was crying out for help, they sent Dalang and Sanlang to look after him. Then Jinbao and Jinhua brought the vegetables, meat and eggs that Liu Bo and Liu Feidou had brought back and gave them to Qin Yao as a nightly snack.
The two cousins, who had just listened to the second version of Qin Yao's battle with Wang Mawu, put down their food and gathered around Qin Yao, glancing at her with admiration from time to time, and then whispering to each other in low voices.
Erlang and Qin Yao helped wash the vegetables so that Awang could prepare for the dinner in the evening.
Awang seemed afraid to stay with Qin Yao. He put Liu Ji down and picked up the hoe to go to the fields to check the water. When he came back, he also picked up a load of water on the way. If you didn't know, you would think he really treated himself like a beast of burden.
In the evening, after work at the factory, everyone in the old house came to Qin Yao's house.
The yard is spacious, and the tables are placed directly in the yard. There are two tables, one for adults and one for children.
After Awang had taken care of his master who was lying in the house, he came back and sat at the table with the children.
Thanks to Wang Mawu, the dishes tonight are very rich, with plenty of meat and eggs, as well as fragrant steamed sausages and various seasonal vegetable soups.
There is also plenty of white rice, you can eat as much as you want.
Since spring, every household has been tightening their belts and living frugally, and the old house is no exception.
I arrived at Qin Yao's house today. The food was so good that it felt like Chinese New Year. The children ate meat and drank soup with big mouthfuls. Each person had two bowls of white rice, and there were snacks after the meal. They were so happy.
After eating, and before it got completely dark, we went out to play together, taking the Cuju.
Da Mao was too young and could only cry out, staring pitifully with his big eyes at the backs of his brothers and sisters running away.
He and Qiu took the initiative to clean up the dishes without even thinking of asking the servants to do so. When Awang stepped forward to take over, he ended up scaring his two sisters-in-law.
Qin Yao and Old Man Liu were discussing going to the town to sell grain tomorrow. Now that the obstacles have been cleared, there is nothing to worry about.
When Liu Ji, who was lying in the room, heard Qin Yao say that she would take Awang with her to sell grain, he beat his chest and stamped his feet. His external injuries had not healed yet, and his internal injuries were on the way.
But the matter was already settled, and he could only let out a resentful sigh and wonder how likely it was that Qin Yao would give him even one tael of the one hundred taels of medical expenses.
The result is zero!
A good thing was messed up. It's a blessing in disguise that I didn't get beaten when I came back today.
Money? Forget it.
