The Ma family did not own much land, and on weekdays, Ma Jianguo and Ma Qiangguo were more than enough to take care of the family, so Ma Fuguo went to the town to find a job.
I don’t know if it was because of good luck or something, but Ma Fuguo got a job in the town’s fish and meat cannery, and then lived in the factory all year round, only going home once every ten days or half a month, just like a town dweller.
Lin Xiaoman calculated with her fingers and figured that Ma Fuguo might have already met his future "Third Aunt".
In June of the following year, Ma Fuguo said that he had a partner, and then when the parents of both parties met, they were very unhappy!
Ma Jinhua really dislikes the third daughter-in-law who is like Lin Daiyu.
The girl's parents also disliked Ma Jinhua, a mean and sarcastic old woman.
Both sides were not satisfied and did not agree, but the couple could not bear to part.
Finally at the end of the year, the girl's parents gave in, and Ma Fuguo got married despite Ma Jinhua's opposition.
Although it was not a marriage into the wife's family, it was almost the same. After getting married, Ma Fuguo lived in the town permanently and rarely came back except during the Chinese New Year.
The following year, the third son's wife gave birth to a daughter, which made Ma Jinhua very angry.
By this time, the third child, Ma Fuguo, was no longer able to have children. For rural people, as long as no one interferes, it doesn't matter, and they can have as many children as they want.
But it was different for Ma Fuguo and his wife, who had a stable job. They could not make any mistakes, so Ma Fuguo only had one daughter.
Ma Fuguo could only have one daughter, and Ma Jinhua hated him to death, hated the third daughter-in-law and her family. Ma Jinhua was so angry that she wanted to strangle this money-loser to death, but unfortunately the town was the third daughter-in-law's home turf, and Ma Jinhua couldn't reach out.
Before he knew it, Lin Xiaoman was lost in thought.
After regaining his composure, Lin Xiaoman quickly finished the work at hand and then went into the kitchen to cook.
For lunch, we had pumpkin porridge. Obviously because it was Chinese New Year, Ma Jinhua brought out a larger portion, and the pumpkin porridge turned out very thick.
Ma Jinhua filled two enamel bowls and handed them to Song Ping, who went to the lakeside to deliver the food to Ma Jianguo and Ma Qiangguo.
When Song Ping came back, Li Hongmei, who had picked up a basket of firewood, also came back.
When they sat down to eat, it was customary for Ma Jinhua to serve the rice.
Because there was so much food cooked, Lin Xiaoman, who only got half a bowl, was only half full.
After the meal, only Li Hongmei and Lin Xiaoman, mother and daughter, continued to work. Song Ping was still taking care of Ma Xiaobao, Ma Jinhua was taking a nap, and Ma Fuguo went out to visit friends.
After Lin Xiaoman cleaned up the dishes, he drove the old hens to the weeds outside the village to find food, while he himself dug earthworms.
More than an hour later, Lin Xiaoman returned home and found a pile of diapers and wet clothes waiting for her in the corner under the eaves.
Wash it.
Before cooking dinner, Lin Xiaoman went out to the place where the old hens were foraging, and then counted, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven!
Great, one missing.
It was obvious that No. 75 and his team's actions were very successful.
“Gugugugu…”
With an anxious and flustered look on her face, Lin Xiaoman called out to her old hen. Although she knew in her heart that the old hen had been put into the pot a long time ago, she still had to look good on the surface.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xiaoman received the instruction from System 75: "It's time to start the operation."
After work, Lin Xiaoman, with an anxious look on his face, drove the seven old hens back home. After entering the yard, Lin Xiaoman entered the kitchen through the side door.
Sure enough, Ma Jinhua was in the kitchen.
"Grandma!" Lin Xiaoman shouted with a panicked look on her face.
Hearing the voice, Ma Jinhua turned around with a face full of anger. She picked up the fire stick beside her and rushed towards Lin Xiaoman, "Where have you been, you lazy bastard?"
Cruel old woman!
Of course Lin Xiaoman wouldn't let her hit her, so she dodged and ran out quickly.
"You still dare to run? I'll teach you a lesson! You're so naughty at such a young age, and you just hang out outside!" Ma Jinhua, who didn't hit anyone, chased after him angrily with a fire poker in her hand.
"Wow, grandma, don't hit me, don't hit me..." Lin Xiaoman ran very fast with his calves.
"If you keep running, I'll beat you to death!!" Ma Jinhua continued to chase him angrily.
The two of them ran out of the kitchen and into the yard.
"Chicken, I was just looking for an old hen!" Lin Xiaoman hurriedly explained, and continued to run towards the gate of the yard with his short legs.
"Stop, stop right there and explain yourself!" Ma Jinhua shouted.
"One of our old hens is missing."
"What! What did you say!" Ma Jinhua was so frightened that her voice suddenly rose several decibels. After screaming, she no longer cared about hitting anyone. Ma Jinhua stopped and hurriedly counted the old hens in the yard.
Then I counted them and found that there were only seven left.
"I just looked for it, in, in..."
"Hurry up and tell me!" Ma Jinhua yelled.
The old hens that lay eggs are all Ma Jinhua's treasures. If one is missing, Ma Jinhua will be so angry that her eyes will turn red.
"I was outside Uncle Huang's yard and smelled chicken soup. I also found chicken feathers in the corner." Lin Xiaoman, who had already run out of the yard, said hurriedly.
Most families in Qingwanxi Village raise ducks, and only a few raise chickens. So even during the Chinese New Year, not many people eat chicken. Most people eat duck and fish.
Huang Laoer is a well-known lazy man in the village. He doesn't have anything at home and is lucky enough to have a fish.
As they were all from the same village, Ma Jinhua was well aware of the situation and immediately started to roar, "Where did Huang Laoer's hen come from? How dare you steal my hen!"
Lin Xiaoman didn't need to say anything. Ma Jinhua rushed out of the yard angrily with a fire poker and ran towards the Huang family.
"Grandma, wait for me!" Lin Xiaoman chased after her with difficulty.
Because of his short stature and short legs, Lin Xiaoman was quickly left behind by Ma Jinhua.
Thinking that her old hen had met with misfortune and fearing that all the chicken would be eaten, Ma Jinhua did not dare to delay for a moment. She displayed strength that was completely inconsistent with her age and quickly rushed to the door of Huang Laoer's house.
At the gate of the yard, Ma Jinhua smelled a fragrance. She sniffed hard and became even more furious.
chicken soup!
Although she couldn't see clearly what was inside because the courtyard wall was a bit high, Ma Jinhua was sure that this was her old hen.
Her old hen was stewed by the Huang family!
If I don’t take the skin off the Huang family today, you will think that the Ma family is easy to bully!
"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Ma Jinhua knocked hard on the yard door, her brows furious, her anger reaching its peak.
These days, flaunting wealth is all the rage. If someone has meat to eat, they're afraid others won't know. Eating with the door locked in the courtyard in broad daylight? They're definitely doing something shameful.
It’s confirmed, the bastard stole her old hen!
