Chapter 055 Chapter 55 Dog Stomach and Feeding the Dog

The voice was so stern that Zhang Xiaoxi shivered in fear. Everyone looked towards the door and saw Zhang Yuandong standing there against the light, blocking most of the sunlight outside.

They couldn't see his expression clearly, but they could hear the obvious anger in his voice.

Zhang Xiaoxi was still very afraid of this eldest brother. Unlike the two twin brothers he raised, this eldest brother had already joined the army before Zhang Xiaoxi could remember anything, and the number of times he came back could be counted on one hand. She had very little impression of this eldest brother. She only remembered that her mother would occasionally call and cry, and he would send some money back. She could see that her parents did not like this eldest son. Although she did not know why, she could tell from their daily conversations that they only regarded him as a tool to ask for money, and believed that the eldest brother owed them and that he should support their whole family.

In this family, perhaps only his two twin brothers are truly close to him.

She had been exposed to these things since she was a child, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She remembered what her mother had said, and said firmly: "Brother, we are your real relatives, she is an outsider, you can't stand on her side!"

The twin brothers tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Zhang Yuandong still stood in the light and shadow, making it difficult to see his expression. He said in a cold voice: "You are wrong about something. You are the outsider and have no right to blame my wife. Your sister-in-law was too nice to you in the past, so you mistakenly thought she was someone who was easy to bully. You ate and drank her food and still abused her. Since you think she is an outsider, don't think about her things in the future. Go back and tell her that we will keep the ten yuan per month in the future. Don't think about anything else."

These few words were not just a simple lesson for his younger sister, but also addressed to his own parents. The people in the house and the helpers watching the excitement in the yard didn't know how to persuade him.

Zhang Xiaoxi just remembered now that this elder brother was the husband of that woman and the father of the two bastards on the bed. Now he not only gave all his money to that side, but also leaned towards that side with his heart.

She burst into tears, "Brother, you've changed. You used to be so good to us, and all the money you earned was ours. Now you don't care about us anymore! It's all because of this unlucky person and these two bastards. If they weren't around, you wouldn't have abandoned us!"

Zhang Yuandong took a step forward and walked out of the light and shadow. Zhang Xiaoxi was so frightened by his aura that she stopped crying and started to hiccup uncontrollably.

The brothers Zhang Shouren and Zhang Shouyi quickly stood between the two men, one of them grabbed one of Zhang Xiaoxi's arms and dragged him out. During the process, they only looked at their eldest brother with guilt and did not dare to say a word of pleading.

As soon as the three of them left, the room suddenly became quiet. The people outside who were watching the excitement also felt the pressure from Zhang Yuandong and went back to work, forgetting that it was still break time.

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the room, Lin Yue took the lead to greet him. He did not mention what happened just now, but only asked: "Why are you back at this time? Did you have lunch?"

Zhang Yuandong's expression softened immediately.

Last night, they both drank and slept in a lopsided state. When he woke up this morning, he found that he was not sleeping at the other end, but sleeping side by side with Lin Yue, and the two were close together. This scared him and he could only get out of bed with stiff hands and feet. Fortunately, Lin Yue was not awake yet and did not see the situation.

He was originally feeling awkward, and the thought of having to come back to face Lin Yue made him feel like he couldn't move. But after what Zhang Xiaoxi had just done, he put the awkwardness of the morning behind him, and replied in a gentle tone, "I've eaten. I ate the meat stewed in the bureau at noon, and I came back after finishing it. By the way, I bought four bags of cement, and I was afraid that I would need it urgently today, so I sent them back first."

Zhang Shoucang rushed in from outside the courtyard: "Yes, yes, it can be used today when we are digging the ground!"

Wang Xiuxiang glared at him speechlessly. This man must have been eavesdropping outside and ran in when he heard the noise. He was so bold that he forgot to install cement when he heard about it!

Zhang Shoucang was so happy when he heard about cement just now, but now he felt embarrassed and chuckled twice.

Zhang Yuandong didn't care and just asked him to go outside to carry cement.

Lin Yue and Wang Xiuxiang were cleaning up the furniture in the house when they heard Xiao Wanli's timid voice asking, "Mom, what is a bastard?"

Xiao Lingling also asked hurriedly: "There is also the star of death!"

Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat.

It was too chaotic just now and she didn't take care of the two little ones. Now she was so busy that she forgot to pay attention to them.

In the past, when encountering such a situation, Lin Yue would try his best to keep the two away. But let alone in the countryside, no matter where the population is dense, friction is likely to occur. Even in the later world, in the communities where there is almost no interpersonal communication, from time to time, people will quarrel in the property group.

It was impossible to keep the two children away from this kind of situation completely. Children of this generation have heard a lot of ugly swear words since childhood, and they were no exception.

Although the two children were young, they could still tell whether others were saying good things or bad things. They also knew that their aunt had just scolded them, and they felt very upset at the moment, but they were too young to express it.

Lin Yue and Wang Xiuxiang looked at each other, then picked up the two children and spoke carefully: "These are bad words, insults. It is wrong to say such things. Don't take their words to heart and don't learn them."

Children always see things in black and white, and they think that people who do wrong must be bad people. Wanli raised his head, looked at Lin Yue and asked, "Is the person who said that a bad person?"

"He may not be a bad person, but this thing is definitely wrong."

Ling Ling said in a low voice: "Mom just cursed at me, and I was wrong too."

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, and before he could remember what he had said was wrong, he heard Wan Li rushing to say, "Mom is wrong, Mom said dog stomach!"

Ling Ling also said: "And I fed the dog!"

Wang Xiuxiang watched from the side for a long time, then burst out laughing.

The corners of Lin Yue's mouth twitched, and he thought, I was so careless. It seems I have to be more careful in front of children in the future.

She did not fool the two children and said sincerely: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such a thing."

Just now, Lin Yue was educating the children, and Wang Xiuxiang didn't want to interrupt. At this time, she stepped forward to take Lingling and said, "Don't teach them to be too sensible. I think it's better for children to be more aggressive, so that they won't be bullied in the future."

As they were talking, Zhang Yuandong and Zhang Shoucang came in, each carrying two bags of cement.

The two little ones saw their father coming back and stretched out their hands happily for a hug. Zhang Yuandong quickly put the cement on the ground, picked up the two children in each hand, and kissed them head to head for a while.

After the two children were finally willing to get off their father, he took out a small notebook and a pen from his jacket pocket and discussed with Lin Yue: "I have exchanged a few tickets with my colleagues these days. Please list what you need at home. I will buy what I can first."

Lin Yue had thought about this a long time ago, but many things were hard to buy, so she had planned to take her time. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuandong was able to exchange them for industrial tickets.

She took the notebook and pen without hesitation, and wrote as she spoke: "You need a wall clock, and a mirror, preferably a bigger one. And two basins. I heard that the county sells iron stoves with flues, and it would be great if I could buy one. As for the rest, there will be a big market in Xiaokubo Village in a few days, and it happens to be on Saturday, so let's go to the market together to buy them!"

The new house is large, and just burning the kang in winter is not enough to warm the house.

Zhang Yuandong knew about this kind of stove. He murmured, "I heard that foreign stoves were only supplied to units and schools before. I don't know if it is easy to make one. Besides, that thing needs to burn coal, and it is not easy to buy coal here. I will ask around tomorrow to see if there is any way." But there is no rush, as winter is still several months away.

Lin Yue also knew this. The foreign stove was the iron stove of later generations. It had been basically eliminated when Lin Yue lived in, but it is still a rare thing now. The policy was relaxed some time ago and it was opened to individuals. It is indeed difficult to buy.

Wang Xiuxiang smacked her lips when she heard this: "You are really capable. All you said are expensive and hard to buy. It's a good thing that your Far East is capable, otherwise you would have squeezed him dry."

Zhang Yuandong didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face turned red in an instant. He ran out as if escaping and joined the ranks of building a detached house. He had built houses in the army before, and detached houses were relatively simpler, and the foundation did not need to be dug particularly deep, so he got the hang of it quickly.

A fellow worker nearby said with a smile, "Brother Huizi, go change your clothes quickly. It's such a nice white uniform, don't get it dirty."

Zhang Yuandong paused in his work, glanced at Lin Yue who was standing not far away, and pretended not to care: "It's okay, I'll wash it later if it gets dirty!"

A group of men were working, many of them were shirtless. Someone laughed and said, "Take it off quickly, stop being a sissy. It's a waste of such nice clothes to work in them!"

These people didn't say anything, but Zhang Yuandong was afraid that Lin Yue would hear it, so he took off his coat in a fit of anger.

The man was also wearing a vest underneath, and when everyone saw it, they all sighed.

Seeing that Lin Yue was not paying attention to him, Zhang Yuandong relaxed, picked up the hoe and started digging the foundation with everyone.

The man's muscles were very smooth, and the muscles in his arms and shoulders stretched into beautiful curves as he worked, showing great explosive power. Lin Yue accidentally saw this scene and was instantly stunned.

Zhang Shoucang patted her shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law, come back to your senses. I've called you so many times!"

Lin Yue was startled and unconsciously wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth. He said awkwardly: "I was a little distracted just now, what's wrong?"

Zhang Shoucang was familiar with her, and he joked with her without hesitation: "I know Brother Yuandong has a good figure. You are his wife, so why do you need to look at him secretly here? You can look at him enough when you get home at night, right, Brother Yuandong!"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. Zhang Yuandong's body stiffened, and the impact of the hoe hitting the ground became much smaller.

No matter how thick-skinned Lin Yue was, she felt shy in front of so many people. She pushed Zhang Shoucang into the house and said, "You want to clean up the house, right? Got it, let's go!"
