Chapter 67 Rub My Back
Upon investigation, it was discovered that these families were the cancer of the village and the villagers had been bullied a lot.
Two families were directly sent to repair the city defenses, and the other three families were beaten and sent away from Liuxia Village.
As soon as they left the county government office, Sang Ning picked up Jintang.
"How can you be so great, Xiao Jintang! I admire you so much!"
"Baji!"
He kissed her little face hard.
Jintang was horrified and struggled frantically.
It’s over!
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!
He feels sorry for Fourth Uncle!
"Come, let Fourth Auntie apply medicine on you. We can't leave any scars on our pretty face."
Sang Ning took out the muscle-growing medicine he got from Lu Shishen and sprinkled some on Jintang's bloody wound.
Just to see how effective this medicine is.
Like his fourth uncle, Jintang had almond-shaped eyes, long eyelashes, and skin as chewy as cheese.
"Oh my god, if he grows up, he will stun so many girls."
"No, you need to learn some kung fu, so you can run away quickly when you're surrounded by girls."
Jintang: “…”
“…”
“…”
When the two were almost home, Jintang suddenly stopped.
"Aunt Four, please go ahead. I'll be here later."
"Oh~ You can't hold it anymore? Okay, hide well and don't let anyone see you. Boys should protect themselves."
Jintang: “…”
He didn't want to go to the toilet, he just wanted to avoid suspicion.
Sang Ning arrived at the door of his house in a few steps. A familiar figure was wandering at the door.
It was the old man who snatched her "baba" steamed bun.
His body was still swaying like a ghost.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
The old man started with fright, his thin, protruding eyes showing fear.
Only when he saw it was Sang Ning did he slow down.
"It's you, my girl. I see this quilt is a bit torn..."
"Oh, you mean this? All five members of this family hanged themselves, and the county government allocated this house for us to live in, so I threw it out."
“Then…then…”
"If you need it, just take it away. To be honest, death is like the extinguishing of a candle. This world is so painful. Even if there were souls, they would have left long ago. Who would want to continue staying in this shabby place?"
The old man nodded repeatedly, "That's exactly the point. I don't mind it, I don't mind it."
The old man bent over and tried hard to pick up the pile of tattered quilts.
I don’t know what the quilt is filled with. It’s dark inside and I guess it won’t keep me warm.
"Uncle, don't you have food to eat every day?"
Sang Ning was really afraid that he would fall headfirst.
But the old man still stood up tremblingly.
Yizhi is quite tenacious.
"There's not enough food at home, and I have to leave it for the children, so I go out every day to find some."
"It's okay, girl. The government distributes food every three days. I can always grab a bite. I won't starve to death."
Life is tiring, but when he thinks of his children and grandchildren, he doesn't want to die.
They don’t have the ruthlessness of this family of five.
Sang Ning chatted with the old man for a few more words.
The old man's son is a carpenter and was also exiled here a few years ago.
It seems that he offended a local bully, who framed him and forced his son to carve a poem on the furniture that implicitly satirized the royal family.
It was during the crackdown period, and the whole family was thrown into prison and exiled here.
Carpentry is a craft, and in the past, one could earn enough to eat and wear a car. But life has been so hard for the people in the past two years that there is no work at all.
Sanning just happened to have a small job to do.
Just tell the old man to ask his son to come over tomorrow.
"Okay, girl, I'll let him come over now. I won't ask you for anything. Just give him some money for his time!" The old man's face turned a little red with excitement.
"No rush, no rush. We just got here and need to clean up. We can come tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, you have the final say, you have the final say."
The old man spoke in a humble tone, fearing that Sang Ning would change his mind.
Alas, this miserable world.
Sang Ning sighed and went home.
"Fourth sister-in-law, we have brought some water. Go and wipe yourself and change your clothes."
Huo Jingya had already cleaned up and her face was finally wiped clean.
Apart from being thinner and darker than before, she is still as beautiful as before.
She has a pretty face, but thick, dark eyebrows, and a heroic air.
The Huo family has good genes, and all their children are good-looking.
"How much water did you draw?" asked Sang Ning.
Huo Jingya's face fell: "Each family can only get one can of water. We just arrived, and the county magistrate was very kind and gave us an extra can."
So, taking a bath was impossible. Several people could only wipe their hair with a basin of water, but their hair still smelled bad.
Why.
"Fourth sister-in-law, can I use the method you taught me to filter dirty water and reuse it after use?"
"This, isn't necessary?" Sang Ning was horrified.
Sewage can be treated, but bacteria cannot be killed.
“But there’s not enough water!”
"You guys use it first, I'll find a water source. You know I'm the best at finding water. I can find water anywhere underground!"
At worst, we can just dig a hole and draw out the spiritual spring water!
Huo Jingya looked at Sang Ning with admiration, and then said, "Sister-in-law, give me some money so I can buy some incense. Mother said we should pay our respects to this family before we move in."
"Mom is right."
Sang Ning had forgotten about this long ago. She directly gave Huo Jingya ten taels of silver and asked her to exchange it for loose silver and copper coins.
Before, when we were on the road and didn't need the money, she kept it all. Now that we have settled down, everyone has to have some money.
When Huo Jingya saw so much money, she immediately became serious as if she had received a big task.
She knew that she had spent twenty taels on the quilt, and this was the last ten taels!
Fourth sister-in-law trusts her too much!
"Be smart and don't get cheated." Sang Ning advised.
"Got it, Sister-in-law! I'll compare prices before deciding!"
Huo Jingya seemed to be holding the livelihood of her family in her hands. She kept thinking about the possible situations in her mind and walked out with a serious face.
The old lady came out after washing herself. She had combed her hair neatly with water and was wearing the coarse cloth clothes commonly worn by ordinary people. She looked very neat.
"You guys stay at home, mom will go over there and take a look."
Over there, is naturally my second uncle's house.
Even the children of the Huo family were not familiar with their second uncle, let alone Sang Ning.
But Sang Ning was worried that the other side would vent their anger on the old lady.
"Shall I go with you?"
"No, I'll go take a look first. Don't worry, they are all gentlemen."
"Then mother, please bring some cornmeal with you."
When they left Lujia Village, the villagers gave them some cornmeal, which Sang Ning divided into several portions, and each person carried one portion with him.
It is both safe and allows her to play tricks, so she can occasionally take some corn from the space and grind it into powder and mix it in.
Anyway, the villagers ground the food roughly, and the Huo family didn't know how to make it, so they couldn't tell the difference at all.
I just thought she cooked delicious food.
The portion the old lady brought has not been touched yet!
"So, do we have enough to eat?"
The old lady actually wanted to take him over, but now that Sang Ning was in charge, she didn't dare to say it.
The main reason is that I am afraid that my children will not have enough to eat.
Sang Ning said confidently, "As long as there are mountains here, I can find food. Mother will bring it over."
They can't just push the food out with them.
The old lady's worried brows couldn't help but relax.
This head of the family was well chosen. She was always so calm and composed, as if no difficulties could defeat her.
She and the eldest son's wife, or those noble ladies in the capital who were in charge of the household, were only able to make decisions when things happened and distribute the family property reasonably.
When it is stable, it is considered qualified.
But in desperate situations, it is like a huge wave capsizing a boat, leaving no power to resist.
But Sang Ning is different. She can lead her family out of desperate situations and fight for a way to survive.
This is the real head of the family.
Judging from the small details, if she can manage a family, she can naturally manage other things as well.
The old lady was pleased and patted Sang Ning's hand and said, "Then mother will take a copy with her. You can go into the house and have a rest. Let the fourth child tell you a story and have a good sleep. That boy has a lot of stories in his belly!"
Uh, that's not necessary.
She wasn't used to this, and the more she listened, the more excited she became.
After the old lady left, Sang Ning entered the house.
As soon as I entered, I was almost blinded by the light.
A muscular man was sitting on the edge of the bed and rubbing his body slowly!
The boy was shirtless, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a perfect inverted triangle figure, and abdominal muscles bulging like a wall.
A line of water rolled down along the muscle texture, seeped into the pants at the waist, and disappeared without a trace.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were taking a shower."
Sang Ning swallowed, took another look, turned around and wanted to leave.
But I heard a low voice asking for help behind me: "Can you help me wipe my back? I can't reach it myself."
