These men usually cut corners when they are working, and wander around in their free time, taking advantage of any bargain they can find.
The fact that the Zhao family was still looking for someone late at night alarmed many people in the village.
These people were just curious about where Zhao Wei was doing so late at night.
As a result, the aroma of this hot pot was so hot, spicy and delicious that it made people drool.
These people followed the smell, lay down at the door and peeked inside.
It was bustling inside, but they could only stare blankly. This made these people so hungry that they had to tighten their belts, and they were naturally a little resentful.
"Damn, what kind of shit luck is this Zhao Wei family? They are living too well. They can even eat such a good meal in the middle of the night."
"He also has a beautiful wife, the most beautiful in our village. If I could sleep with her for one night, it would be worth dying for."
…
The more these people spoke, the more unwilling they became, and their evil thoughts flourished in the night.
No one knew who came up with an idea. After a few people got together to discuss it, they ran to the village chief's house and brought the old village chief over.
There is a New Year's Eve celebration in their village right now, and they are planning to invite a traveling film crew to show movies, which will last for about a day, with three shows. Each household will only have to pay 20 cents.
This activity is a big event every year. In the past, when Zhao Wei and his grandmother's family had not separated, they did not have to pay this money. All their money was saved in his grandmother's hands, and they could just go to the movies when the time came.
But now that their family has been separated, it is natural that they have to follow the crowd and give money.
These lazy guys often move around and are well-informed. They know that the village chief and the accountant have already started going door to door to collect money.
At this time, using this as an excuse, the old village chief was allowed to take the lead, and these few people, as lackeys, could take advantage of it.
The old village chief was unwilling to pay attention to them at first, thinking that they were not good people.
Later, when he heard that Zhao Wei's family was eating meat, he couldn't help but feel hatred.
The village chief's son's reputation was ruined because of his challenge to Zhao Wei, and he became a joke in Yushu Village. In order to clean up the aftermath and deal with the impact of this incident, he had to spend a lot of time and effort.
After hearing what these people were planning, he naturally agreed to go without thinking, ready to teach the Zhao family a lesson.
So, a group of rabble knocked on the gate of Zhao Wei's house.
The person who opened the door was Wang Caigu. Before she could ask clearly, these people had already swarmed into the yard. Looking at the table of people still eating and drinking, the old village chief said with a smile: "Old sister-in-law, you are still eating so late!"
Wang Caigu said calmly: "There's no rule that we can't eat this late!"
She didn't want to waste time with these people, so she asked directly: "I wonder what the old village chief is doing bringing so many people here late at night?"
The old village chief took out a notebook and said in a pretentious manner: "The day after tomorrow is the Little New Year. According to tradition, our village will show a movie. The money is not much, still two cents, you can pay it!"
…
While the two were arguing, those lazy guys had already run to the dining area restlessly and greeted Zhao Wei and the others.
"Ah, Uncle, Brother Wei, are you eating here?"
"What is this food? It's bright red and smells really good. Hehe..."
"There are still so many dishes, oh and meat, can you finish them all?"
…
As they were talking, a few of them had already walked in and stood beside the crowd, leaning forward to stare at the hot pot.
It looks like a dog waiting for food. You can't chase it away until it gets a bite.
Zhao Wei saw through these people's plans at a glance. He signaled his father to be quiet with his eyes, and he took over the conversation.
"It's rare for you to visit, so it's better to come at the right time than to come early. Let's eat together."
"But you can see that the conditions are like this, and we don't have that many bowls, chopsticks and stools at home. This is a bit difficult!"
"How about... you wait until we finish eating, wash up, and then continue eating?"
Although the men were somewhat unhappy about it, this was the truth. These days, no one had extra bowls and chopsticks. Sometimes when you went to someone else's house for a meal, you had to notify them in advance so that others could borrow them from other homes.
If Zhao Wei's home was in the village, he might be able to climb over the wall and borrow money from his neighbor.
But they now live outside the village, where are the neighbors? They wanted to eat for free, but forgot to bring food with them. Now they regret it very much.
Don’t be fooled by the food cooking in the pot. There is still a lot of meat, so it’s impossible that you can’t finish it. With so many men at the table, there must not be enough food.
Basically, when it is their turn, they probably can’t even have a sip of soup.
Several people stood there awkwardly. They were unwilling to leave, but if they stayed, they would probably just be a joke.
At this moment, the old village chief had already received the fees. After writing and drawing on the notebook, he walked over leisurely.
"Oh, there are delicious foods. Your family is doing well!"
"Oh my, there is still so much meat. We can't even eat such good food during the Chinese New Year. Tsk tsk..."
Tsk tsk, we are indeed fellow travelers. The tone and intonation of his speech are exactly the same as those of these lazy bums.
When Zhao Wei saw this person, he knew that it would be difficult to have a peaceful meal tonight.
So he stood up and said with a fake smile: "Village chief, you came here so late at night, don't you feel tired?"
