Chapter 02 Chapter 2
He Tingting asked this on purpose.
Small vendors these days are not managed in such a systematic way.
He Tingting was confused about the situation, so the best way was to ask someone for advice.
The village chief in front of her is He Tingting's best choice for obtaining information.
Village Chief Jia looked at her for a few seconds and thought that this girl had changed a lot and finally stopped crying.
Her parents are both dead, her second uncle is a bastard, and her aunt married far away. It's time for there to be an adult in the family who can take charge of things.
"It's not that you can't do it, but if you, a little girl, go to the street to set up a stall alone, you're bound to be bullied."
That's true.
At that time, there was no Sky Eye system, and the public security situation was far worse than that of the 21st century.
It is not safe for He Tingting, a weak and delicate-looking little girl, to do business.
Not to mention the bad guys she might encounter, just the fact that they snatch her spot or make things difficult for her maliciously is enough to make the little girl very upset.
The village chief is an experienced person. He has experienced everything in his life and understands the evil of human nature best.
He had to give some advice to the little girls in his village.
"You really should find a job. Selling food is fine, but it's best not to go alone. Find two people to set up a stall together so you can look after each other."
He Tingting nodded along with the conversation and spoke with a worried expression.
"I'm mainly worried about my second uncle. We two little girls need money to live. If he comes to our house and fights every day, it won't matter how much money he makes."
This is indeed a hidden danger.
He Tingting remembered that the village chief's wife was the director of the Women's Federation in the book, so she asked.
"My younger sister and I are the only ones left in our family. Can the Women's Federation help with this situation?"
When the village chief heard this, he suddenly felt a headache.
Who gave this little girl the advice that she even knew to contact the Women's Federation?
Both the husband and wife want to get promoted, and the affairs of the two sisters will cause trouble no matter where they are.
His wife has been worried about the over-birth issue in the village these days, so it’s better not to cause trouble for her.
Thinking about it this way, the village chief had to take care of the He family's affairs even if he didn't want to.
He sighed, took out a paper bag of tobacco from his arms, picked up some dry tobacco from it, put it in his pipe and lit it.
After taking two puffs, the village chief spoke.
"How about this, you go sell food in front of the gate of my son's university. I have a nephew who also sells things there. I'll ask her to take care of you when the time comes, so that you, a little girl, won't be bullied outside."
With the village chief's guarantee, He Tingting smiled happily.
"Thank you, Uncle Jia."
In this way, not only the safety problem is solved, but also the location of the stall is solved.
The village chief guessed He Tingting's little thoughts and looked at her with a higher opinion.
If the little girl whose parents have both passed away didn't have some brains, she would probably be bullied to death. It's better to be smart so that she can protect herself and avoid a lot of trouble.
"You're welcome. We're all from the same village, so we should take care of each other."
Having said that, He Tingting still knows the ways of the world.
He immediately followed up, "Uncle Jia, from now on, your son can have his lunch at my stall. We're from the same village, so I won't charge him."
A smile instantly appeared on Village Chief Jia's face.
Village Chief Jia is one of the best-off in the village, but the older generation in the village is used to saving money. Now that his son is in college, the tuition fees are quite high, plus things like food, so every month he has to go home and ask Village Chief Jia for money.
Now I can save money on food and save dozens of dollars.
If you save this money, it will accumulate into a lot and will become the capital for your son's wife in the future.
"Then I won't be polite with you. Huizi happens to be going home tonight. I told him to go see his cousin tomorrow and then have a meal at your stall."
It would be best if the village chief was not polite, and He Tingting readily agreed.
"Don't worry, Uncle Jia, we cook all the food at home. I can't guarantee anything else, but the cleanliness and hygiene will definitely be no problem."
The village chief stood up with satisfaction.
This girl from the He family is quite capable, and it's worth his promotion.
In the past, when this girl went out to school, Village Chief Jia had only seen her a few times. Now, after taking a closer look, he found that she had grown into a very beautiful girl.
"Okay, you're a big girl now, uncle, don't worry."
Village Chief Jia felt a little regretful.
Although she is beautiful, without the influence of her family, she probably won't even have a dowry, and it will be difficult for her to get married in the future.
Village Chief Jia sighed in his heart and thought of his difficult son at home, and he started to have some ideas.
Their family really doesn't lack this little dowry money.
The eldest girl of the He family seems to be smart. If she has a good character, we can match her with Huizi.
But it's too early to say that now.
This thought was quickly thrown out of Village Chief Jia's mind.
"You should prepare it today. Remember to bring two stools so that you can set up the stall when the time comes."
He Tingting agreed readily and sent the two of them out.
After the two left, He Lili immediately returned to the east room, mysteriously took out an iron box and handed it to He Tingting.
"Sister, go buy you a bench!"
He Tingting then remembered that their house didn't even have a bench, only four low stools and a mat.
After waiting for He Tingting to open the box for a long time, He Lili opened it for her anxiously.
The coins inside hit the walls of the box, making a tinkling sound.
He Tingting opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"
She remembered that the two sisters had spent all their money on their funeral arrangements, so they should not have much money left now.
He Lili raised her head proudly. "I earned this by collecting manure. It's okay, sister. We'll both make money in the future. You sell food and I collect manure. Our family will be rich soon!"
Rural people have a great demand for fertilizers when farming.
Cow and sheep dung is the best natural fertilizer. Sometimes when we run out of it at home, we buy some from others.
He Lili made a little money by picking up manure on the road, making it into fertilizer and selling it to others.
He Tingting felt sad when she heard this.
She was only ten years old, but she had already started working so hard to support the family.
He Tingting said as she touched the little girl's neatly combed hair.
"It's okay, Lili, you don't have to pick up manure anymore. I can still make money, a lot of money!"
He Tingting closed the box and returned it to He Lili.
"The money is earned by our Lili, so it's your pocket money."
The little girl was stunned for a moment, her eyes slowly curved into an arc, and she ran back to the room holding the iron box.
After she ran away, He Tingting took the opportunity to study the blind box machine.
She dragged her finger across it and found a list of tasks printed on the side.
Tasks are divided into two categories, one is daily tasks and the other is main tasks.
She completed two of those tasks.
The daily category is [Sign in], and the main story category is [Stop He Guan’s conspiracy].
Now there are two chances to draw from the blind box machine.
He Tingting just opened a novice gift package not long ago, and it is called the Pork Gift Package.
Thinking this way, she could also guess the other prizes in the blind box.
He Tingting didn't hesitate and drew twice in a row.
The ball in the blind box machine spun twice and a purple ball fell out.
The blind box opens with the sound of sound effects.
【Congratulations on winning the purple blind box - leeks.】
Then another red ball fell out.
[Congratulations on winning the red blind box - a sweet dream.]
The blind box that fell out first was the same as He Tingting guessed, it was food.
The latter is a bit unexpected.
He Tingting took out the paper from the blind box, which only had one line of instructions on how to use it written on it.
[Hold the Dream Ticket in your hand, and you can choose a person to have a specific dream.]
He Tingting's eyes lit up.
She walked to the shade, closed her eyes, and immediately tried the effect of the coupon.
When she was scaring her second uncle just now, she lied that she was going to send a message to her second aunt in her dream. With this voucher, the first person she thought of was her second uncle's wife, Li Hua.
He Tingting clenched the coupon in her hand, and a few seconds later, a blank piece of paper appeared in front of her.
He Tingting didn't know whether to write or draw, so she simply wrote down the content of her dream.
The white paper quickly disappeared, and the coupon turned into ashes before her eyes.
at the same time.
Li Hua, who had just finished his meal at home, yawned, felt sleepy, and took a nap.
After a while, the door of the house was opened heavily.
He Guan took a bottle of beer home.
After the scare, He Guan was in a very unhappy mood. When he returned home and saw his sleeping wife, he suddenly became angry.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep. All you do is sleep all day long!"
Li Hua was awakened by the sound of him slamming the table and was also filled with anger.
"What are you crazy about? If you want to show off, go to your father's grave and don't act like an asshole in front of me!"
When Li Hua gets angry, he will really pick up a stick and hit people.
He Guan hadn't finished his two taels of wine yet, and didn't want to provoke this tigress, so he pushed Li Hua to the edge of his patience and gave orders while cursing.
"Whatever I say is what I say. Go make some snacks and stop talking nonsense!"
Li Hua was used to his bad temper and was too lazy to argue with him, so he simply picked up a handful of peanuts and prepared to fry them to fool him.
While cooking, Li Hua felt more and more that something was wrong.
She knew this bastard in her family well. He would not go home until he had gambled away all his money. How could he go home in the middle of the day?
Why is it so abnormal today? It’s just past twelve o’clock and he’s already home.
"You didn't go to Uncle Zhang's house today?"
Uncle Zhang Sanye opened a card parlor, and when He Guan had little money, he liked to go there to play.
"It's all Tingting's fault," he said, getting furious whenever he mentioned He Tingting.
"What does it have to do with Tingting?"
"Before, I said I wanted to give the second girl to that family in the city to pay off their debts, and that damned girl Tingting didn't object. But today, I brought her there, and she acted like a ghost and scared everyone away."
He Guan didn't mention that he was the one who was scared away first.
Li Hua was only concerned about the debt. "What about the 500 yuan I owe? Won't the creditor have to find someone to collect the debt?"
It's not easy to live under the debt collection, and she doesn't want to have feces thrown at her door again.
So when He Guan proposed to adopt his brother's youngest daughter to pay off the family's debts, Li Hua did not object.
"It's okay," He Guanniu drank a glass of beer to build up his courage. "I'll find a master tomorrow. Even if that girl is really possessed by a ghost, I'll send the ghost back to where it came from. He Jing is dead, and he really thinks he can continue to control me."
When He Jing's name was mentioned, Li Hua was stunned for a moment, his expression a little gloomy.
When his uncle was alive, He Guan was more restrained, but after he died, life became increasingly unbearable.
"It would be helpful to find a master to take a look. I dreamt about my elder brother today."
When Li Hua mentioned the dream at this time, He Guan felt a chill on his back. He stared at him and asked, "What did you dream about?"
Li Hua was startled by his look.
"Nothing, just asking me to keep an eye on you. There was also a woman in the dream. I didn't know her, but my brother told me to keep an eye on her."
The more Li Hua recalled the content of his dream, the more it seemed wrong.
How come this bastard just said that the ghost of her uncle possessed her niece, and she started dreaming about her uncle too, and even mentioned an unfamiliar woman in her dream?
Could it be that this bastard He Guan has someone outside?
She narrowed her eyes suspiciously and asked, "Do you know someone named Shufen?"
He Guan suddenly panicked and felt a chill running up from his waist.
Li Hua’s dream was exactly the same as what He Tingting had just said when she threatened him. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Could it be that it was really the eldest brother’s ghost that possessed me just now?
He sobered up all of a sudden and swallowed several times.
"Did you really dream that Big Brother told you this name?"
Li Hua was already suspicious, and seeing his reaction, there was nothing he didn't understand.
She immediately picked up the broom and started hitting him.
"You're such a good fellow, He Lao Er! I work so hard at home to take care of you and earn money for you to eat and drink lavishly, and you, a bastard, actually dare to find a slut! If I don't beat you to death today, I'll be letting down the ancestors of the He family!"
He Guan quickly jumped off the chair, but was still hit a few times.
"You stinky bitch, you're using a chicken feather as a token of authority. Without me, you can't even enter the He family's gate, and you still dare to act like a bully to your father!"
Li Hua had heard enough of He Guan's nonsense.
Instead of stopping, she picked up a rolling pin and started rolling left and right.
She does all the farm work at home. Over the years, Li Hua has become stronger than the average adult man.
A rolling pin hit He Guan, and he immediately wailed like a pig about to be slaughtered.
"You stinky bitch, you dare to fight me? I'm going to divorce you!"
As He Guan spoke, he picked up a weapon and started fighting with Li Hua.
But he drank and gambled all year round and didn't work, so his health was not as good as when he was young. After a few fights, He Guan couldn't beat Li Hua and was always beaten.
"You bastard, I've raised you for so many years, and if I have to divorce you, I'll be the one to do it!"
After Li Hua finished yelling, he slapped him a few more times and turned away.
After she left, He Guan got up from the ground cursing.
"Damn it, you dead woman, I'll take care of you sooner or later."
When He Guan thought about who caused this incident, he felt even more hatred.
"And that damn girl He Tingting, if she hadn't caused trouble today, there wouldn't be any trouble later. If I had known that Big Brother could still possess her, I would have drowned her when she was a child."
He Guan cursed and imagined at the same time, and felt much better.
He was thinking about finding a master to exorcise the ghost, and then he thought of a weird method.
Since we have already found a master, we might as well take some of the girl's hair and nails and let the master perform a ritual to get rid of the troublesome girl.
Li Hua walked out of the door and hesitated for a while, his anger gradually being wiped away by the grievance.
She has no one to rely on in her family, and although she talks tough, she has nowhere to go once she leaves the house.
Because of this, she followed He Laoer for so many years and didn't leave him even though he was a bastard.
Now that she knows that He Laoer has another woman, where should she go?
Just turn around and go back to He Laoer in shame?
Having endured cowardice for half his life, Li Hua was unwilling to swallow this humiliation.
She gritted her teeth and walked towards the village entrance.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the doorstep of my deceased uncle's house.
He Tingting in the room was busy preparing food.
Tomorrow is her first day setting up her stall, and He Tingting wants to do her best to leave a good impression on customers.
All things are difficult at the beginning. If the beginning goes smoothly, it can save you a lot of trouble later.
The menu she prepared on the first day was steamed buns.
Selling buns requires minimal supplies. You can put an insulated foam box on the back seat of a bicycle to make a simple stall. This is the best choice for He Tingting, who has little spare money at home.
Only after she had neatly arranged the necessary seasonings and ingredients in the kitchen and cleaned the foam insulation box that would be used tomorrow did He Tingting have some free time.
She sat in the yard for a while to enjoy the cool air, and glanced outside casually, catching a glimpse of a familiar figure.
"Second Aunt?"
This sound woke Li Hua up.
Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly walked to her niece's house, and her fingers kept rubbing the seam of her pants in embarrassment.
"Oh, it's Xiaoting."
She was in a very bad state, and her eyes were very vague. He Tingting saw it at a glance. She guessed that the dream must have taken effect, and asked tentatively.
"What's wrong, aunt? Did something happen at home?"
Don't air your dirty laundry in public. Li Hua always follows this saying.
Even though He Guan was a gambler, owed debts and beat people, she never took the initiative to say bad things about him to others.
But what happened today overwhelmed her, and Li Hua couldn't suppress her desire to talk.
The moment she received He Tingting's concern, tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
"What a sin! What a sin! I shouldn't have told you these things, but I really have no one to talk to."
Li Hua said while crying.
He Tingting quickly helped the man into the house and said, "Let's go inside and talk slowly."
"That bastard of your second uncle has someone else outside, and he dared to fight me. I knew he was a bastard, but I didn't expect him to be this bad."
"Ever since my eldest uncle passed away, he's been going too far. He just said he wanted to divorce me. I've worked so hard for this family over the years to pay off his gambling debts, and this bastard actually said something like that!"
Li Hua had suppressed her emotions for many years and couldn't stop crying.
He Tingting patted her on the back and asked tentatively.
"Aunt, have you ever thought about divorce?"
Divorce is rare in this day and age.
Li Hua was stunned for a moment before realizing what He Tingting was talking about.
She was telling her how to take the initiative to leave the scumbag He Guan.
After her parents passed away, everyone told her to be patient, but this was the first time someone told her that she could choose to leave He Guan on her own initiative.
She was speechless for a few seconds, as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, and her mind was shocked.
Just as she was feeling mixed emotions, she thought about how she had tacitly agreed to He Guan's plan to sell He Lili, and her heart suddenly felt bitter and astringent.
"I'm sorry for both of you, little girl. I'm sorry for both of you."
She covered her face and kept repeating this sentence.
The immense shame made her dizzy and she didn't know how to express her apology.
Li Hua slapped himself hard, thought for a long time, and could only say.
"If that bastard dares to come here again, I will definitely protect you, absolutely!"
