Qi Niuhua, who was about to do something naughty, was caught red-handed. With one leg inside the fence and the other outside, he was in an uncomfortable position, not quite able to get in.
Qi Niuhua hid her broken hand behind her back. "What...what do you want to do?"
"I'd like to ask you what you're planning?" Old Mrs. Wu sneered, grabbed her by the collar, yanked her out, and threw her to the ground. Looking down at her, she said, "What? Holding a grudge? Or are you reluctant to part with these three little pigs and want to take them home to keep them company?"
Qi Niuhua snapped back to reality in an instant, "Yes, yes, I can't bear to part with it, I want to take it home to keep it company."
Before she could finish speaking, a mouthful of saliva nearly sprayed in her face. "Pah! Qi Niuhua, you're shameless!"
"You can't bear to part with them? How dare you say that? So you can't bear to part with those seven dead piglets either? Why don't you go down and keep them company?"
Old Mrs. Wu turned her head and saw Gou Cuifen, "Sister Cuifen?"
Gou Cuifen pushed her away, saying, "I thought you were capable, and I even made excuses for her."
His words were laced with disdain, but his movements were gentle. He stood directly in front of Old Lady Wu, leaning down to look at Qi Niuhua, "Let me tell you, I saw everything that just happened. From now on, if any problems arise with the pigs here in Mingxia, the blame will be placed on you!"
Qi Niuhua was shocked. "What does this have to do with me? What if she dies on her own? Will you blame me for that? Are you being unreasonable?"
Wow, it's like the sun has risen in the west! Qi Niu Hua, who always throws tantrums and acts unreasonably, can actually say something reasonable now?
"You did this despicable thing yourself, and you're blaming others for being unreasonable?"
She grew angrier the more she talked, and with new anger and old grudges combined, she opened her hand to hit him. Unfortunately, her hand speed was not as fast as Wu Laotai's. Qi Niuhua shrank back and got up and ran away.
Seeing that the person had run away, Gou Cuifen was still very angry. Old Mrs. Wu patted her and said, "Alright, you've been from the same village as her for decades. Don't you know what kind of person she is?"
"That's true. It's your own body; it wouldn't be good if you got angry."
Grandma Wu nodded. "Why are you here?"
"Isn't it because I was worried you've never done this kind of work before? Let me help you first."
On the first day that Old Lady Wu arrived, she noticed that Old Lady Wu's hands were smooth and slippery, and that she was obviously someone who did no work.
She might not even know what to do when she goes into the pigsty, cleans it, or what the pigs eat.
Grandma Wu's eyes welled up with tears. "Sister Cuifen, you've really helped me a lot. But you don't need anything else. I know how to clean. You just need to teach me what pigs eat."
"Pigs, of course they eat pig feed. I'll take you to see the pig feed later. It's everywhere on the mountain, easy to collect. We used to feed them bran and rice husks, but Qi Niuhua didn't raise them properly. The bran and rice husks she sent were either thrown away or scattered. It was all a waste."
"They stopped delivering after that; they just delivered it to the chicken and duck pen."
Grandma Wu nodded, "Then teach me to identify pig feed first. I'll gather some and feed them before I clean the pigsty."
"walk."
On the way, Gou Cuifen explained the term "pig feed" to Grandma Wu. "Pig feed" is a general term that includes things like paper mulberry leaves, goose intestine grass, and old sow grass.
"Don't worry, there's still some rice husks and bran left in the village warehouse from last year. Those chickens and ducks won't eat much of it. I'll have Tie Niu bring it over for you when I get back."
Grandma Wu said earnestly, "No need, you've already gone to so much trouble. Let Xiaofu and Xiaoqiang go."
Gou Cuifen didn't bother with these trivial matters and let her be.
On the way here, Grandma Wu had already brought a basket and a sickle. Gou Cuifen taught her as she cut the sickle.
In no time, the baskets behind were full.
Gou Cuifen was amazed by her quick and efficient movements.
Grandma Wu smiled, knowing that what she had behind her was enough to feed those skinny little pigs.
After being hungry for so long, suddenly eating too much can easily lead to intestinal upset and even death.
It's not good to eat too much when you've been hungry for a long time, as your stomach and intestines can't handle it.
The same logic applies to this pig.
The two returned to the pigsty, and Gou Cuifen wanted to help clean up, but was persuaded to go back by Old Lady Wu.
She had already helped herself a lot, and she couldn't bring herself to ask her to clean up this stinking pigsty again.
As soon as the opened pig feed was poured into the pig trough, the three piglets began to munch and eat.
Seeing that they were eating heartily and seemed to be in good spirits, a strange idea popped into Grandma Wu's mind.
If Qi Niu Hua doesn't feed them, how have they survived until now?
Her gaze swept around the room, finally settling on one of the piglets that had already finished eating. Its mouth was blackened and particularly dry. Upon closer inspection, Old Mrs. Wu's eyes narrowed. This...it looked like...poop...
'vomit......'
He covered his mouth to calm down, then frowned and approached again, where he found several scattered pig bones in one of the corners.
Old Mrs. Wu turned around stiffly, about to take a few deep breaths, but found the stench permeating the air, and she held it back, her face pale.
He bent down, pulled two wads of cotton from his bag, stuffed them into his nostrils, put on a mask, and then put on a layer of clothing over it. He also wrapped his hair with a cloth, fully armed, before stepping into the pigsty.
While Wu's sense of smell was subjected to a barrage of attacks, Huang Mancang, far away in Changping City, was also subjected to a series of attacks from his two sons and daughter-in-law.
"Dad, if you sneak out again to gamble with those shady characters, I'll send you to Mom!"
Huang Mancang was shocked, "You dare!"
Huang Xiaoguo, "Do you think I dare?"
The father and son stared at each other, and Huang Mancang's eyes were sore from staring so long. Seeing that Huang Xiaoguo was still not moving, he gave up.
He said dejectedly, "I just went out to take a look, I didn't do anything."
Speaking of this, Huang Xiaoguo was furious. "You weren't playing around? Then how come they came to my factory?"
"Why are you chasing after me asking for money?"
"You still say you haven't played?"
Huang Xiaoguo took a deep breath. "Dad, now it's just Xiaomin and me earning money in this family. We still need twenty yuan a month, which is your gambling debt. You're going to go out gambling and incur debts. How are we supposed to survive?!"
Huang Xiaomin glanced at his usually taciturn older brother in surprise. It seemed he was really angry today; he never used to talk so much.
Could it be that someone really went to the factory to cause trouble?
Huang Xiaomin narrowed his eyes as he looked at Huang Mancang.
Li Jin'e crossed her arms and said, "Dad, my brother is right. If you don't behave yourself, we'll send you to find Mom. Look at what we lived like when Mom was here, and look at what we've been living with you at home. We haven't seen a single piece of meat in ten days."
Huang Mancang was so angry that his nostrils flared, like a bull breathing through its nose. "I know, I won't go out then!"
Just as he finished speaking and was about to slam the door and go inside, he suddenly realized that Old Mrs. Wu had locked the door when she left. He turned around, jumped onto the bed, and pulled the blanket over his head.
