Amidst the bustling noise, a person unexpectedly appeared in the crowd.
My uncle's son Zhao Qian came over as if he had a dog's nose, smelling the meat.
As soon as they met, he became extremely fawning and kept begging Zhao Wei to share a bowl with him.
The food in this pot is enough for one day, so one more or one less won't make much difference, but Zhao Wei never thought of letting this brat get away with it.
He weighed the spoon and looked at Zhao Qian's greedy look with a smile.
"Want to eat?"
"Think about it, Brother Wei, give me a bowl, please!"
"You can eat if you want, but... no one here eats for free. They are all working for me. What can you do?"
When Zhao Qian heard this, his face instantly turned bad. How could he do the work?
However, when he was about to make a mistake, Zhao Wei promptly pointed him in the right direction.
"If you can talk to me about your uncle, I will let you eat your fill."
"Uncle San? What could possibly happen to him? What do you want to know?"
Zhao Wei just wanted to know whether a knife was used last night, so he leaned over and whispered a few words to Zhao Qian.
After finishing, she patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go quickly and come back soon. There is plenty of broth, and you are indispensable."
Zhao Qian ran out without thinking.
The villagers who were eating nearby saw how fast his legs were running, and joked that the Zhao family still had some conscience, as they knew that Zhao Wei's family was building a new house and were ready to lend a hand.
Zhao Wei smiled coldly. Those people in the Zhao family were busy demolishing their original house and building their own mill. How could they care about the life and death of their family?
He immediately revealed the fact that there was no blood relationship between his family and the Zhao family.
"That old lady Zhao is a kidnapper. She has kidnapped my father for more than 40 years. It's only because the people in our family are kind that we don't treat them as enemies."
"You better be careful in the future. If someone kidnaps your child, it will be terrible!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and cursed.
"Well, I didn't expect that old woman to be so evil. No wonder she treated you so harshly. She is totally heartless."
"In the past few years, many babies have been lost in our village. Could it be related to this vicious old woman?"
"What a pity! God is blind. People who have done immoral things are living a prosperous life. It is totally unfair."
…
"Speaking of kidnappers, I remember an incident. A few days ago, a new bride from the village next to us was kidnapped and taken to the mountains on her wedding day. It was said that an old and ugly hunter bought her for 100 yuan."
"That new bride is really amazing. She was kidnapped for three days, but she managed to come back on her own. Someone saw her this morning. Poor girl, she even lost her shoes in the middle of winter."
"I just don't know if her husband's family will still recognize her after she escapes back. After all, who knows what this new bride has been through in three days? Maybe she has been... Alas..."
…
These people were chatting about family matters, but Zhao Wei suddenly thought of the woman he ran into last night.
The other party was very emotional and kept crying...
Could this woman be the new daughter-in-law they were talking about?
If that's true, then this woman is pretty miserable.
After sharing the gossip, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks contentedly and continued to repair the house.
Some people were digging the foundation, some were carrying stones, and the yard was bustling with activity.
Zhao Wei was not idle either. He went up the mountain to cut down a tree and put it on an open space nearby. He set up a frame, cut the wood with a saw, and then built a wooden shed.
It is mainly used to store the sawed wooden boards, which will be used to make roofs in the future after they are dry.
…
Zhao Qian was a simple-minded boy. After being asked by Zhao Wei to run an errand, he never came back.
The place where Zhao Wei's family lives is outside the village, a little far away from the village, so when they got the news, it was already afternoon.
This was the news brought back by the people who were repairing the houses after they returned to the village for lunch.
The third uncle of the Zhao family disappeared for some unknown reason and has not been seen since early morning.
Even Third Aunt was missing. The family searched the entire village but couldn't find the couple.
The third room's son and daughter were still young. Because no one took care of their breakfast and dressing, they defecated and urinated all over the kang. They were cold and hungry and cried loudly. It was an unspeakable sin.
It was not until almost noon that the third aunt appeared as if nothing had happened.
Her grandmother came up and slapped her in the face, and kept asking her questions, wanting to know the whereabouts of her third son.
The third aunt was also a tough one. She was so angry after being beaten that she gritted her teeth and said she didn't know and that she had gone out to work for others early in the morning.
After saying this, he even took out 3 yuan of wages to prove that he was out to earn money, not just to have fun.
As for Uncle San, he should have been at home taking care of the children, but he was not here at this time. He must have gone out to have fun.
As he was talking, he scolded his third uncle harshly, saying that he was not at home, could not support the family, was an incompetent waste, etc.
She also said that there was no good person in their Zhao family and that they all came to bully her. So she packed up her things and took her children and ran back to her parents' home that same day.
His grandmother was feeling guilty about having slapped him, and she couldn't stop them even if she wanted to. She just watched the people in the third room fall apart.
