Chapter 198 Complaint
Before he came here, he only had some small thoughts about Jiang's snack shop.
It's amazing to see so many customers in the shop even on a hot day.
There were actually a dozen people who would rather stand outside in the sun and sweat all over to queue up for food.
He was stunned.
Therefore, he became more and more eager to take over the food in Jiang's snack shop.
"It's that seasoning. I don't know what's in it, but it should be salt and chili. I also smell a hint of pepper, but pepper is only sold in a spice shop in Wanliang Lane, Caishi Street.
But it's very expensive. A small bag costs one or two silver coins. Would the Jiang family be willing to use such expensive spices to grill meat and vegetables? They won't make any money. So I'm not sure what seasoning they used for grilling. It's really fragrant. No wonder so many people line up to eat it. "
Wan tutted.
She smacked her lips.
Somewhat chewy.
"Look at your surprised look. I thought it was just a fuss. It's not that simple. They live outside the city. They have to leave before the city gate closes. Didn't you say they have a bullock cart? I just took a quick look and the bed in the backyard of the shop was full of things. No one must be living there at night.
Tonight, let's go and look for it while it's dark, and we'll find out. My son is at home today, so bring him along and I'll be on the lookout. If anyone sees the seasoning, just steal it. As long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know we stole it."
Bai Qianshan's eyes rolled.
I thought of a solution.
For safety reasons, he didn't plan to go in. If he was caught, he would go to jail.
At that time, he would stand outside to keep watch and run away when he saw someone coming.
As for the daughter-in-law and son.
He is too lazy to care.
Anyway, this son is useless, so the worst that can happen is that he raises his grandson.
What's more, he plans to marry a new wife and have a few more sons.
Wan Zhen didn't know what Bai Qianshan was thinking.
She nodded.
Agreed.
The two then left the alley and headed home.
At the same time, in Jiangjia Village outside the city.
Jiang Guangyi and Chen Qiuju, who had just finished their farm work, returned home exhausted.
The two were as tired as dead dogs.
In the past, with the eldest son and his family around, they didn't have to do any work in the fields.
Chen Qiuju, who had enjoyed a good life at home for almost ten years, almost fainted from exhaustion.
They were only weeding and watering the fields, but this little leisurely job almost cost them their lives.
The other villagers had finished their work in the morning and returned home.
It was just the two of them, and they kept going until almost noon.
The sun was burning like fire.
The crops in the fields are all wilting in the sun.
Not to mention them.
Both of them were covered in sweat, not a single spot was dry.
His clothes were soaked with sweat and his hair was like a newborn puppy, sticking tightly to his scalp.
The sun shines.
All reflective.
"Erniu, bring me and your grandfather some water, something cool, hurry up."
Just got home.
Chen Qiuju sat paralyzed on the bench.
She was breathing heavily.
The old face was flushed red with heat.
The tone was also particularly impatient.
Zhou Gaier's eldest daughter Jiang Erniu was originally chopping firewood in the backyard.
Hearing grandma calling her.
He quickly put down the hatchet and went to the kitchen to get a basin.
The water tank is in the yard.
She lifted the wooden lid and scooped half a basin of water over.
Who knew that Chen Qiuju was furious.
She lifted the basin and poured water all over Jiang Erniu.
"You idiot, your grandfather and I are dying of thirst. I asked you to bring some water, but you only used a basin. How can we drink it? You are dumber than a pig. On weekdays, you can't even get anything out of a person with a stick. Now I ask you to do something, but it's like asking you to die. Hurry up and get the water scoop and scoop some water. Do you want us to die of thirst?"
Jiang Erniu picked up the basin tremblingly and turned to change the ladle. She didn't dare to say a word.
Chen Qiuju was still cursing.
"You are a white-eyed wolf who raised you with shit and piss. How do you repay us like this? All you have to do is eat and sleep all day long. Whose girl is like you? She doesn't know how to do anything and doesn't know how to help us. Your mother is sick. Do you want to imitate your mother and pretend to be lazy? I think you have a tight temper and need to be beaten!"
Chen Qiuju became more and more excited as she spoke.
She picked up a broom and waited for Jiang Erniu to come over with water so that she could hit her.
Jiang Erniu had tears in her eyes.
Her mouth opened slightly, but she said no word.
She was not lazy. She did everything. She got up before dawn to feed the chickens and wash clothes. She also had to go to the mountain to chop wood to feed the chickens. There was a lot of work waiting for her to do. How could she be lazy?
She has been working for as long as she can remember.
Two tears as big as pearls fell into the water tank.
As long as she passes.
I will definitely be beaten by grandma.
Jiang Erniu was extremely scared.
Just as she took several deep breaths and prepared to go over with the bucket to greet the broom.
My younger sister Si Niu ran to grandma and complained.
"Oh no, grandma. My third sister let mom and my brother go. When my second sister and I went to the mountains to chop wood and dig wild vegetables, I forgot to bring a basket, so I went back to ask for it. I happened to see it. My third sister even told mom to run faster so that you guys wouldn't find her. Mom is probably already in town."
Jiang Siniu originally didn't want to tell this story.
But she couldn't bear to see her second sister being beaten.
I can only ask grandma to find someone else to beat her.
"What?"
Chen Qiuju couldn't even afford to drink the water.
She threw the broom away.
He stood up from the stool, holding onto the door frame.
Rushed into the youngest son's room.
Look around.
There are still people in there.
That’s not all.
All the cabinets in the room were open.
Not a single piece of clothing was left.
"This damn bitch just left us like this. She's fine, she's gone to enjoy herself, leaving us two old men with so many acres of land to work on. How can we handle it? Where's Sanniu? Where's that damn girl? Before I left this morning, I asked her to clean the yard at home, but why is she nowhere to be seen?"
Chen Qiuju slapped her thigh.
Crying and singing.
Her anger reached its peak.
The thin broom was thrown away by her.
She ran to the backyard, found a piece of firewood, and looked for Sanniu everywhere.
What a coincidence.
Seeing that no one was at home, Jiang Sanniu, who had sneaked out to play, just came back.
"You damned girl, how dare you come back? Erniu, close the door quickly!"
Chen Qiuju shouted loudly.
Jiang Erniu quickly closed the door.
Jiang Sanniu took several steps back, her heart skipping a beat.
I secretly thought it was not good.
"Bang——" Just as she was about to open her mouth to beg for mercy, Chen Qiuju hit her on the butt with a stick.
The burning pain made her unable to stand.
Paralyzed on the ground.
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts so much, don't hit me, grandma, I didn't do anything, I wasn't lazy, I went to the mountain to pick wild vegetables, don't hit me, it must be my sister who was lazy, it was her, I was working the whole time."
Jiang Sanniu was crying and wailing.
In the past, whenever she used this trick, Jiang Siniu always had to take the blame.
Unfortunately, this trick doesn’t work today.
After all, Jiang Siniu filed the complaint first.
