It was still early when they got home. Jiang Sui gave the money from selling dried goods to Xiao's mother. Xiao's mother asked them if praying for rain was fun. Xiao Hechuan was the first to express his opinion:
"It's not fun, not fun at all. You have to kneel down in the sun and it's hot."
There were so many people, and the crowd was crowded together and smelled of sweat. He thought it would be very interesting to pray for rain.
That drum looks more interesting.
Xiao's mother laughed at his childish nature and said he was curious about everything.
Xiao Lanlan still reluctantly asked Xiao's mother whether praying for rain was useful or not, and whether praying for rain had ever been successful before.
Xiao's mother recalled that during the drought more than ten years ago, it rained half a month after they prayed for rain. By chance, everyone thought that their prayer for rain was successful.
In fact, Xiao's mother felt that it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
"This year is just like that. The wheat in the field cannot be saved. Now we can only pray for rain so that people don't die of thirst. The wells and rivers in the village are almost dry. I don't know if we will be able to have drinking water in the future."
Xiao's mother was worried to death. Drinking water has become a problem now. People can eat less food and not starve to death, but not drinking water will also kill people.
The well in the town is already in danger. If the well dries up, I guess we won’t be able to do business.
Speaking of this, Jiang Sui remembered that she still had dirty clothes to wash, one for her and one for Xiao Hechuan. They had to wash them while there was still time.
After Xiao Hechuan came back, he went to Goudan's place. The uncle and nephew were playing in the room. Xiao Lanlan was also tired and prepared to take a nap, so she went to the river alone with a wooden basin.
The water in the river has already run dry, and most of the riverbed has been exposed, with only a stream of water remaining in the middle, which is still suitable for washing clothes.
She had just squatted down when footsteps suddenly sounded behind her, casting a shadow.
She looked back and saw Jiang Qiaoqiao and Chen Jinhua, mother and daughter, standing behind her. From her angle, the two faces gave her a very deadly look.
"What?" Jiang Sui had a bad feeling.
The mother and daughter suddenly appeared beside her, and judging from Jiang Qiaoqiao's expression, it was obvious that she was not holding back her fart.
At this hour, there was no one by the river and the weather was hot, so no one wanted to go out.
She was afraid of being at a disadvantage, so she simply didn't want to wash the clothes and left first.
When she picked up the wooden basin and was about to leave, Jiang Qiaoqiao and Chen Jinhua surrounded her from both sides, holding her arms to prevent her from escaping.
"What are you doing? If you keep doing this I'll have to call for help."
"What are you afraid of? We have something to discuss with you. Just be obedient and nothing will happen to you." Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled as if she deserved a beating.
"Jiang Sui, after all, I raised you. I may not have given birth to you, but I have raised you. You can't be so ungrateful, can you? Ever since you married into the Xiao family, you haven't even returned to your parents' home. Have you lost your conscience?" Chen Jinhua was very unreasonable.
"Bah, you call that a favor? You don't treat me like a human being, you beat and scold me every day. If I wasn't lucky, I would have died in your hands a long time ago. You have the nerve to say this? The Xiao family gave you five taels of silver to marry me, isn't that enough to shut you up? I don't care what you are up to, but don't even think about getting any benefit from me."
Jiang Sui guessed that the mother and daughter's behavior must be related to the hot and sour noodles. Last time, Jiang Qiaoqiao wanted to find out how the hot and sour noodles were made, but failed. It is expected that they will not give up.
"Little bitch, don't refuse my toast and then drink a forfeit. I've given you face, right? I want to punish you in a thousand ways." Chen Jinhua cursed.
Today she needs the recipe for hot and sour noodles.
Jiang Sui was afraid of being hurt when he heard this, so he shouted:
"Someone, help me, someone is kidnapping in broad daylight."
Seeing this, Chen Jinhua covered Jiang Sui's mouth with her hand:
"Shut up, you little bitch. I'll beat you to death if you scream again." She was afraid that Jiang Sui would really attract people.
But Jiang Sui was no pushover either. He bit Chen Jinhua's palm with all his strength, causing Chen Jinhua to grimace in pain.
Seeing this, Jiang Qiaoqiao grabbed Jiang Sui's waist. Jiang Sui felt pain but refused to let go, and the three of them stayed together like this.
Chen Jinhua felt like her flesh was about to be bitten off, so she had no choice but to shout:
"Come out and help!"
Just as he finished speaking, a man with a familiar face hurriedly emerged from the bushes and approached Jiang Sui. Jiang Sui let go when he saw that something was wrong.
Chen Jinhua's hand was finally saved. There was a deep tooth mark at the base of the palm of the hand, and blood was oozing out of it. Jiang Sui's mouth was also stained with blood, and there was a fishy smell.
"You damn little bitch, you are a dog, I will beat you to death." Chen Jinhua raised her hand and was about to hit her.
At this time, only Jiang Qiaoqiao was controlling her. Jiang Sui bit Jiang Qiaoqiao's arm again without hesitation. Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't bear the pain and immediately let go with a scream.
Jiang Sui didn't even take his clothes anymore and ran away.
Seeing this, Chen Jinhua ordered the man to stop her. However, the man had long arms and legs, and before Jiang Sui could run a few steps, he grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Chen Jinhua and her daughter rushed forward and once again tightly controlled Jiang Sui.
Jiang Sui couldn't struggle free and there was no point in being anxious.
"What exactly are you going to do?" Jiang Sui stared at the man in front of him and asked viciously.
Now she saw clearly and remembered who the man was. He was the nephew of Chen Jinhua's mother's family, Jiang Qiaoqiao's cousin, and also a hooligan.
It must be bad news for him to appear here now.
"Don't be afraid, little cousin. I won't hurt you. Just listen to my aunt." Jiang's cousin looked at Jiang Sui and smiled with an unclean look in his eyes.
I didn't expect that after not seeing her for half a year, this girl has grown into such a pretty girl. If I had known earlier, I should have let my aunt keep her as my wife.
"That's right, Jiang Sui, as long as you tell us the recipe of your hot and sour noodles, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will let Qiaoqiao go around the village and shout that you despise Xiao Hechuan for being a fool, cheating on him, seducing my nephew, and cuckolding the Xiao family. By then, your reputation will be ruined and you will be thrown into the pig cage. I will see if the Xiao family is still willing to let you continue to be their daughter-in-law!
You have to think it through. If the Xiao family doesn't want you, then neither will we. You can just wait to be thrown into the pig cage!"
It turned out that this was Chen Jinhua's idea. She was playing it too dirty. Since she came up with such a vicious plan, Jiang Sui felt that the blood in his body ran cold in an instant.
I thought that Chen Jinhua and her daughter were unscrupulous, but I never thought that she was so unscrupulous and a beast.
"Chen Jinhua, aren't you afraid that I will report you to the police if you do this?"
When Jiang Sui said this, Chen Jinhua was immediately delighted and boasted:
"Go ahead. There's no fifth person here. We have the final say. What we say is what's best for you. Tell us the recipe quickly. Then there won't be any problems."
