Chapter 13: Blood of the Family
But he didn't want to wear it.
This fancy thing looks like something women use.
But it's made of soft cotton cloth. It's too hot to hold but it would be a waste to throw it away.
For a moment, Zhang Youcai didn't know what to do.
"You are talented. What are you doing there?"
Seeing him standing there stupidly, Yu Xiaofang walked over and asked.
When he saw his wife, Zhang Youcai's eyes lit up, and he quickly handed her the things and said, "Wife, the mask that Aunt Zhao gave me is worn on the face like a veil. Try it."
After saying that, he ran away with the excuse of helping Zhang Ruoan pack up.
"veil?"
Yu Xiaofang looked at the mask in her hand in confusion.
I remember that in the past, when I saw young ladies from talented families, they were always half-covered.
The ones I have in my hand look pretty good.
And it's made of soft cotton, so it should be able to block the wind when worn.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaofang happily picked two, wore one for herself and one for her son Zhang Chuan, and she carefully put away the rest.
The muddy road is particularly difficult to walk on after a heavy rain.
On the bumpy and muddy road, the villagers were carrying packages of various sizes and pushing carts forward with difficulty.
After walking for a while, you should stop and rest for a while.
Because Zhao Chunhua's family had the wheelbarrow, they saved a lot of effort compared to others.
When the villagers saw this, they began to think about it.
During the break, I found Zhao Chunhua.
"Sister-in-law Zhao, we see that wheelbarrow in your house is quite useful. How did you make it? Can you teach us? This road is really difficult to walk on. We also want to get two to pull things, so that it will be easier."
As these people spoke, there was some uneasiness on their faces.
After all, Zhao Chunhua is not an easy person to talk to.
He is well-known in the village for his domineering temper.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Zhao Chunhua agreed immediately.
"Sure, the method of making this unicycle is quite simple."
After hearing this, everyone became happy and quickly gathered around to ask for advice.
Soon, she was surrounded by a circle of people.
When Zhu Fangfang saw this scene, she also had an idea.
She looked at her bulky flatbed cart with disdain.
It takes two people to push their car, which is laborious and troublesome. Sometimes the wheels get stuck in the mud, which is really a headache.
In comparison, the wheelbarrow in Zhao Chunhua's family can be pushed easily by one person and will not be tripped by the mud.
Thinking of this, she pulled Zhang Dunzi and squeezed over.
"Old man, let's go take a look too."
"Look how spineless these three families are. They insist on trying to please that woman. Have you forgotten how she treated us before? I don't believe she will really teach us!"
Zhang Defu also felt itchy when he saw this, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
When he saw the three families approaching shamelessly, he muttered a few words in dissatisfaction.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Fangfang and Zhang Dunzi squeezed to the front row. Zhao Chunhua glanced at them, said nothing, and did not chase them away.
After a while, Zhao Chunhua took everyone to borrow a saw from the village chief, and went up the mountain excitedly to chop wood to make a wheelbarrow.
Zhang Defu was so angry that he said, "Humph, what a piece of crap! I don't even like it!"
Bai Xiaowei reluctantly took back the steps she had taken, and quickly agreed with her man: "Yes, it's just an ordinary wheelbarrow, it's not as good as our cart, we don't even want it for free."
But when other villagers started using wheelbarrows and could walk faster and more easily, the couple became jealous.
No matter how hard they tried to argue, they had to admit that the unicycle was indeed more useful.
With the wheelbarrow, everyone saved a lot of energy and walked much faster.
Only the two of them were left behind, pushing the heavy flatbed cart forward with difficulty.
From time to time the wheels would get stuck in the mud and it would take a lot of effort to get them out. All the way Zhang Defu kept complaining and swearing.
As it was getting dark, everyone finally found a cave to rest.
After the last encounter with bandits, everyone was on high alert this time and arranged several young people to take turns to keep watch at night.
People from the first and third rooms came in and took away the seats inside.
Seeing this, many villagers couldn't help but mock: "Hey, didn't you say it's cold in the cave? Is the cave entrance comfortable? Why did you run in today?"
Their faces turned red and white, and they tried hard to say, "We can live wherever we like. Do you really need to worry about us?"
It made everyone laugh.
The cave was wet and cold, and everyone felt a little overwhelmed.
The Zhang family's children were shivering from the cold.
Zhao Chunhua asked them to go outside and get some firewood to make a fire before it got dark.
Then he gave his only thick quilt to the pregnant Xie Lanqin.
Xie Lanqin took it in surprise and said, "Thank you, mother."
"Mom, wasn't the quilt meant for me? Why did you give it to her?"
Zhang Baozhu pouted in dissatisfaction, staring at the quilt held in Xie Lanqin's arms.
"Let your sister-in-law use it first, and I'll get you a new one later."
Zhao Chunhua was busy cooking while comforting her softly.
Zhang Baozhu pouted her lips, snorted twice, turned her head away and said nothing.
In the past, whenever she was unhappy, Zhao Chunhua would coax her, and everything in the house always belonged to her.
Who would have known that this time, she was angry for a long time but Zhao Chunhua didn't pay any attention to her.
Zhang Baozhu felt even worse.
When eating, he was angry and refused to eat.
Zhao Chunhua didn't spoil her and gave her share of the meal directly to other people.
This made Zhang Baozhu so angry that she started crying. Her eyes were red and she was wiping her tears with a look of grievance on her face.
"Mom, you don't love me anymore!"
Zhao Chunhua was so annoyed by the noise that she slapped the edge of the bowl and said, "Shut up. If you keep making such a fuss, I will really ignore you. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and you are already so old, can't you be more sensible?"
When Zhang Baozhu saw Zhao Chunhua's fierce look, she stopped crying.
"Have a meal!"
Zhao Chunhua glared at her and scooped half a bowl of rice from the bowl and handed it to her.
I know in my heart that my daughter was spoiled by the original owner and always wanted to monopolize all the good things, which was a bit selfish.
Zhao Chunhua felt a headache when she thought that each of the Zhang family's children had their own shortcomings. This was truly a long-term task.
The family had just finished their meal and were getting ready for bed when they saw the third family coming over.
Zhu Fangfang smiled very fakely, and immediately took Zhao Chunhua's arm and called her affectionately, "Second sister-in-law."
Zhao Chunhua felt nauseous and immediately pulled her hand back.
"Are we familiar with each other?"
The smile on Zhu Fangfang's face froze for a moment, then returned to her smile the next second.
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? We are a family, even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected."
Zhao Chunhua smiled but didn't chase her away. She just folded her arms and looked at her.
Let’s see what Zhu Fangfang is planning.
He's been acting nice and attentive all day long.
Zhu Fangfang was somewhat puzzled by her reaction, so she could only smile awkwardly and try to ask for forgiveness.
“A while ago
It was indeed our fault. We have apologized to the second sister-in-law. We are all family. Please don’t be angry with us. "
After hearing her talk so much nonsense, Zhao Chunhua suddenly became impatient.
"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
"Then I'll just say it straight."
