Chapter 113 I Won’t Starve You to Death
From the man's narration, everyone learned that he was a fortune teller from Qian Juhua's family.
Because the crackdown is tight now, he usually goes to the fields to earn work points like everyone else, but he also privately tells fortunes and looks at feng shui for people he knows.
Huang Xiumei and Qian Juhua went to his house. Huang Xiumei said that she had a dream that she was chased by a hungry ghost all night, but she heard the crowing of a rooster in the morning, which scared the hungry ghost away.
She suspected that Su Nanzhi was possessed by an evil spirit, so she woke up early in the morning and went to find Qian Juhua.
Qian Juhua brought Huang Xiumei to his house and asked him to come to Qinjia Village to catch ghosts.
"...Actually, I don't know how to tell fortunes or catch ghosts. I'm just a liar. It was Qian Juhua and Huang Xiumei, mother and daughter, who pushed me into this."
"You farted."
"I ripped your mouth off."
When Huang Xiumei and Qian Juhua heard the man say this, they immediately exploded and pounced on him and started fighting.
The quarrel alarmed more people.
Qin Dacang's original idea of handling the matter in a low-key manner was completely ruined.
Although he knew that Su Nanzhi was an innocent victim, when he thought that the recent unrest in the village was caused by her, he looked at Su Nanzhi with a cold look.
Su Nanzhi naturally noticed Qin Dacang's unfriendly look at her, but she pretended not to notice and approached Qin Dacang with a grateful look on her face.
"Uncle Dacang, thanks to you, otherwise I would have been killed by Huang Xiumei and no one would have stood up for me."
Before Qin Dacang could react, Su Nanzhi continued to flatter him, "I will definitely write a letter of thanks to the county. Thank you for your help in managing Qinjia Village so well, clearing out some of the village's ignorant ideas, and eradicating feudal remnants."
"We are blessed to have a village chief like you."
Su Nanzhi's kind words seemed to be free of charge, and Qin Dacang's originally gloomy face became much better looking.
He looked at Su Nanzhi with a meaningful expression, "Nanzhi, Uncle Ocang underestimated you before."
The current situation is inseparable from Su Nanzhi's instigation.
But he won't expose it.
Sometimes you have to act dumb when you need to, and that way everyone will be happy.
Looking at the mess on the side, he waved his hand.
"Take them all to the barn and give them a lesson tomorrow."
The villagers, who were already a little impatient, did not hesitate at all when they heard Qin Dacang's words. They tied up the three people and took them to the barn.
The three of them were originally fighting, but when they saw that Qin Dacang was really serious, they immediately became anxious.
"Village chief, my son is an officer, you can't educate me."
"I'm not from Qin Village. What right do you, a little bastard, have to arrest me?"
…
Su Nanzhi was very understanding and spoke up for Qin Dacang.
"What's wrong with the officers? They're just ordinary people. Huang Xiumei, do you think Uncle Dacang is such a snob?"
"As for you, Qian Juhua, since you think Uncle Dacang can't arrest you, then ask the head of your village."
"Let's see whether he will be a selfless person or someone who abuses his power for personal gain."
Qin Dacang's words were quite soothing, but they made Qian Juhua and Huang Xiumei very angry.
But before the two men could say anything more unpleasant, the three of them were escorted to the cattle shed by the excited villagers.
Without the excitement, the villagers quickly dispersed.
Su Nanzhi looked at the messy yard and didn't think about cleaning it up.
She asked Huang Xiumei to criticize and educate them, which had already offended Huang Xiumei badly. The Qin family could not stay for long.
Just when she was thinking about where to stay for the next few days, Qin Yu hurried to Su Nanzhi's house.
Only after she confirmed that Su Nanzhi was not injured did she breathe a sigh of relief.
After dinner, she went to her grandmother's house in the next village to borrow money from her cousin.
When she returned home, she heard that something had happened to Su Nanzhi, which was why she came late.
"Aunt Xiumei is going too far. How can you lead a ghost-catching tour? Even though you've become a bit more, you're still a living person..."
Qin Yu said this and pulled Su Nanzhi to pack her luggage.
"No, you can't live alone. You have to move to my house first."
Su Nanzhi didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.
Apart from Qin Yu's house, she really couldn't think of anyone else to stay at for the time being.
Besides, she didn't plan to stay there for free. She would pay the room fee for Qin Yu and monitor Liu Shengli's recent actions at the same time.
Su Nanzhi had very few things, and she had not taken out the luggage she brought back from visiting Qing. It only took a few minutes to pack up all of Su Nanzhi's luggage.
The two of them packed up their things and left Qin's house, and they happened to run into the jumping Ding Xiaoli.
Ding Xiaoli didn't expect that she just went to the educated youth site to have a meal of apology from the educated youth, and when she came back her own place was gone.
But even though the educated youth apologized to her, she had no intention of moving back to live with them.
They are admitting their mistakes to her now only because of pressure. When she really moves into the educated youth camp, these educated youth will not know how to deal with her.
Fifteen minutes later.
There was also one more person who went to Qin Yu's house, Ding Xiaoli.
Qin Yu's family had just finished dinner. Qin Dacang was smoking a pipe. When he saw Su Nanzhi and Ding Xiaoli, he greeted them.
"Here I come."
Qin Yu's mother Li Shulan, who was clearing the table, saw smiles on their faces and asked them enthusiastically if they had dinner.
Although they had not yet had dinner, Su Nanzhi and Ding Xiaoli both nodded very tactfully.
It's a favor for people to take you in, but you can't take advantage of it and even provide you with food and shelter.
On the other hand, a pregnant young woman nearby rolled her eyes at them and said sarcastically, "There's not even room to turn around in the house, and with two more people here, it's really crowded."
Ding Xiaoli blushed. She was not familiar with Qin Yu, and she came to Qin Yu's house to stay because she was shameless and took advantage of the fact that Su Nanzhi and Qin Yu were good friends.
Just when she was hesitating whether to return to the educated youth camp, Su Nanzhi spoke.
"Mrs. Lei, Comrade Ding and I are not staying here for free. We will pay Qin Yu for the room."
Qin Yu has three brothers named Feng, Xue and Lei. The young woman in front of him is Qin Yu's and Qin Lei's wife Ji Yingying.
When Ji Yingying heard this, a bright smile instantly appeared on her face, which had just been a stepmother.
"Oh, look at what you said, it's all about the rent from the villagers. How much are you going to give?"
Su Nanzhi smiled with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "There are educated youth in the village staying at the villagers' homes. I'll pay whatever they give me."
Ding Xiaoli, who was standing by, immediately said, "Me too."
When Ji Yingying heard what the two said, her eyes were filled with laughter.
The educated youth from Taipei named Gu was staying at the village accountant's house. It was said that he paid quite a bit of rent every month.
But her smile was still fully blossoming when she heard Su Nanzhi continue to speak, "I will give the money to Qin Yu later."
"Why should I give it to her?" Ji Yingying asked without thinking.
Qin Dacang, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly knocked on his pipe. "Old Third, didn't you just say you had a stomachache? Why don't you go and rest?"
Although Ji Yingying was a little afraid of her father-in-law who was the village chief, she couldn't care less about anything else when it came to money.
"Nanzhi and Zhiqing Ding came to stay at our house, so the rent should be shared by all the people. Why is it given to my sister-in-law alone?"
Qin Yu, who was standing by, didn't expect this to cause a quarrel at home, so she immediately said, "Nanzhi, we are all good friends, it would be too strange to talk about rent."
"Sister-in-law, you are so generous. Your third brother works hard in the mines and only earns so little every month. With your mouth, the family loses money every month."
Not daring to confront her father-in-law, Ji Yingying showed no mercy to Qin Yu, her good-tempered sister-in-law.
Qin Yu's face turned pale and blue after hearing what Ji Yingying said.
"Enough, I'm not dead yet, I won't let you starve to death." Qin Dacang glared at Ji Yingying.
His dissatisfaction with his daughter-in-law increased even more. If his youngest son had not insisted on marrying such a troublemaker, the house would not be in such a mess now.
Seeing Qin Dacang getting angry, Ji Yingying immediately stopped talking, but her face was still full of dissatisfaction.
If Su Nanzhi knew what Qin Dacang was thinking, she would definitely give him a sympathetic look.
