Chapter 22 A Farce
Lin Wumei smiled and didn't care about other people's ridicule at all. She took some wood ash from the person.
I dipped a loofah in wood ash and rubbed my grandson from head to toe. Then I poured some well water on him and rinsed him to wash him clean.
What to do if there is no clothes to wear? It is easy to rub the clothes you just took off with wood ash, wash them, and then wear them on the child while they are still wet.
Gao Xiaohu ran away to play in his wet clothes.
Then it was the granddaughter Gao Xiaoyu's turn, and the bathing procedure was exactly the same as before.
You have to know that these two children are eight or nine years old. Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu both felt very uncomfortable bathing them in the open air.
But everyone around them was used to it, so they could only follow the local customs and did not show any strange expressions.
Just when Lin Wumei was washing clothes for her granddaughter, she heard a baby crying nearby.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Lin Xiaohu riding on a little boy, trying to steal his dried sweet potatoes.
The child cried so loudly that the people watching nearby could not stand it any longer: "Wu Mei Lin, please take care of your child. Why is he snatching other people's dried sweet potatoes?"
Lin Wumei took a glance and laughed: "They are all children, they are playing and fighting, which family's children don't fight?
Gao Xiaohu, get up quickly and don't get your clothes dirty. Do you want me to beat you up?"
Lin Wumei wanted to get rid of the matter with just a few words.
Looking at her expression, she seems to be proud of her grandson's behavior!
After hearing what his grandmother said, Gao Xiaohu really got up from the child. He grabbed the dried sweet potato and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word. He chewed it and swallowed it into his stomach.
Yes, all kids fight sometimes, but the problem is that Gao Xiaohu was blatantly robbing, and food was so precious these days.
Dried sweet potatoes are a rare snack, only available during festivals. Now that they have been snatched away, the child must be crying heartbreakingly.
Everyone clearly disagreed with Lin Wumei's way of educating her children, but since they were not their own children, they didn't pay any more attention to it.
The child's crying soon attracted a little girl, who, judging by her features, should be the child's sister.
When the little girl saw her brother lying on the ground crying, she went up to him, picked him up and asked him what was wrong.
The child couldn't speak clearly, he just kept pointing at Gao Xiaohu and yelling, "Gua Gua Gua."
The little girl glanced at Gao Xiaohu, and the white frost remaining on the dried sweet potatoes around his mouth, and she immediately became angry.
She put her brother down, walked over and started fighting with Gao Xiaohu without saying a word.
Don’t be fooled by this little girl’s small size; she’s very strong and beat Gao Xiaohu so hard that he screams in pain.
When Lin Wumei heard her grandson crying, she turned around and was immediately furious.
He threw away the half-washed clothes in his hand, ran over in two or three steps, and lifted the little girl off Gao Xiaohu's body.
Lin Wumei cursed, "You damned girl, how dare you hit my grandson? You are an uneducated thing, a lowly bitch."
The little girl struggled and shook off Lin Wumei's hand. She was not afraid of Lin Wumei's ferocious look at all. She stood there with her hands on her waist and started to curse at Lin Wumei.
"Bah, damn it, you are the old bitch. Your grandson bullied my brother, you are blind and can't see it. Isn't your son a doctor? How can you be blind and he can't cure it.
What's the point of being a doctor if you can't cure the disease? Just go back to farming."
"You damned bastard, you are so rebellious. Who are you talking to? If I don't beat you today, I'm not named Lin."
The little girl narrowed her eyes with disdain, and took the initiative to move her face closer to Lin Wumei: "Go ahead and hit me if you have the guts. I tell you, if you hit me once, I will hit your grandchildren ten times.
Mr. Lin, you have to take good care of your grandchildren, or don’t blame me if they die one day.”
Lin Wumei actually dared to take action and slapped the little girl in the face.
The little girl immediately lay down, hugged Lin Wumei's legs tightly with both hands, and immediately howled: "Hurry up, someone is coming, beat me to death, Lin Wumei is going to beat me to death.
Go tell my parents quickly, she hit me and it hurts my face and I have a headache.
I'm going to the hospital for a checkup and treatment. Lin Wumei, you're dead. I'm going to make you lose everything you have."
When the little girl's brother saw this, he immediately ran home, crying as he ran.
The scene near the well was as lively as a theater. More and more people gathered around, pointing and talking at Lin Wumei.
Lin Wumei was stunned. The little girl who had dared to quarrel with her just a moment ago was now holding her legs and refusing to let go, threatening to make her lose everything.
Lin Wumei grabbed the little girl's hair and tried to pull her away, but the little girl was using all her strength to hold onto Lin Wumei's legs tightly with her hands and feet, and she refused to let go no matter what.
As soon as Lin Wumei pulled her hair, she howled even louder, shouting "Help!", "Lin Wumei is hitting people!" and so on.
Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu saw today how a shrew is cultivated. Feelings are cultivated from childhood.
That little girl was not only aggressive, but she also dared to touch Lin Wumei's porcelain. This time, Lin Wumei had to admit defeat.
After a while, the little girl's parents came, and not only them, but the team leader also came.
As soon as the little girl saw her parents, tears started to fall. She kept saying that she had a headache and was beaten by Lin Wumei, and she needed to go to the hospital for treatment.
She also took the opportunity to complain to the team leader, saying that Gao Xiaohu bullied her brother and snatched his dried sweet potatoes, and that Lin Wumei scolded her for bullying the weak, and she dumped out everything at once.
The team leader felt ashamed for Lin Wumei. What kind of thing was this? She quarreled with a child and even hit him. Is that honorable?
Lin Wumei was inevitably scolded by the team leader. At this time, she was no longer as arrogant as before. She muttered a few words but didn't dare to say anything else.
The captain tried to coax the girl to let go, but she refused to let go.
Why did she get beaten, her brother was bullied, and Lin Wumei was scolded by the team leader, and you want to let it go? It’s wishful thinking!
Finally, after mediation between the two parties at the brigade, Li Wumei was asked to compensate the little girl with ten eggs, and the matter was finally resolved.
The little girl then let go and was carried away by her parents.
When this lively event came to an end, everyone discovered that Lin Wumei's granddaughter Gao Xiaoyu was still standing naked by the well.
Just now, when Lin Wumei saw her grandson being bullied, she threw aside the half-washed clothes and hurried to save her precious grandson.
As a result, the little granddaughter had to stand naked for a long time. Although it was July, the nights in the northern province were still very cold.
The little girl had taken a cold shower before, and was very cold now. Lin Wumei hurriedly washed the clothes, wrung them out, put them on the little girl, and carried her away.
Jiang Panyu and Tan Yanlu then put the washed cabbages back into the box and carried them back to the educated youth site.
