Just one sentence almost made Zeng Wangcai go crazy. He was used to fighting alone in his previous life, and no one ever stood up for him and supported him.
"It's okay, second uncle. You got hurt yourself. I won't suffer any loss!" Zeng Wangcai brought a stool and sat down.
He had a rough idea of who had plotted against the original owner, and eighty percent of the time it was Liu Guangtian and his gang, and they would settle the score later.
Chen Yumei came over with a military canteen of a design Zeng Wangcai couldn't recognize, complaining and distressed, "You've grown so big for nothing, but you don't even know who beat you up, and you have no place to go to quarrel. Go get a pound of wine with the canteen. If your second uncle doesn't leave, stay here for the night, and the two brothers can have a good drink. Mom will make rabbit for you tonight."
"No need to buy wine, sister-in-law. You'd better use the money to buy noodles for the children. I've quit eating. Don't kill the rabbits. Give them to Wangcai and the other three to nourish their bodies. The rabbits are very thin now and have no oil." Zeng Youhuo quickly refused.
Chen Yumei refused to listen and stuffed the kettle into Zeng Wangcai's pocket. She then gave him two huge bills: "Take the second, third, and Xiaohuan out together and buy them each a popsicle."
When Zeng Xiaohuan heard the word "popsicle", she immediately looked at Zeng Wangcai with eager eyes, holding her red and swollen little finger, which was heartbreaking to see.
Zeng Youhuo and his wife are hardworking people. They are good at working in the fields or cleaning the house. They have five children, two boys and three girls, all of whom they raised. The first child is twins. In order to support his family, Zeng Youhuo goes up the mountain to set traps or goes down to fish whenever he has time, whether it is during the busy farming season or during the busy farming season.
But people like this won't be able to survive this year. Even if you are willing to work, others won't let you do it.
The six children of the Zeng family, like other children in the village, went out to dig wild vegetables and eat tree bark. That's how Zeng Xiaohuan's little finger became red and swollen.
Such a family, this time when they came to the city, they brought a rabbit that they were reluctant to eat, and ten precious eggs to Zeng Wangcai's family. These were valuable gifts. Who in the countryside was willing to eat eggs these days? They would exchange them for other things to fill their stomachs. Even ordinary people in the city were reluctant to eat eggs.
"Have you given up drinking? You have a lot of work to do, and you should drink a few sips to relieve your fatigue..." Chen Yumei stopped talking and sighed, "You all live like this, how can other people live, this world..."
Zeng Youhuo quickly interrupted his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. Just hold on. There will always be a time to get ahead. This year is hopeless. If you don't work tomorrow, our family will definitely be able to survive. Don't worry, sister-in-law."
Zeng Wangcai felt sad when he heard this. Farmers live by enduring. Those who can endure are doing well, but next year will be even more difficult, as will the year after.
Damn it, guarding a warehouse and letting your family starve to death? Never mind, let's have a good meal together today.
Zeng Wangcai dropped the kettle, picked up the not-so-heavy Zeng Xiaohuan, and went next door to call the second and third brothers. The second brother was furtively holding a big bag in his hand, with things clinking inside.
