The two thanked him again and hurried off to work on the construction site. Centimeters were their livelihood, and they couldn't afford to lose them.
"Brother, what about our cotton-padded coats?" Ye Chen'er was worried about this. She was particularly afraid of the cold in winter and didn't know how people in Mushroom Village survived the winter.
"How about we add some cotton padding to the cotton-padded jacket? But that would be too much trouble for them." Ye Chenming was a little annoyed, as he didn't know how to sew.
Ye Chen'er didn't say anything. She could manage to sew on a button and patch a couple of holes, but as for a cotton-padded coat, she decided against it, lest she end up not even having a thin cotton-padded coat to wear.
"Are you new educated youth?" A girl stood in front of them.
The two people, not recognizing each other, nodded and said, "Hello, we are new educated youth."
Looking at Ye Chenming's handsome face, Wang Daniu was somewhat amazed. Are all the young men in the city this good-looking?
Ye Chenming's face turned cold. Who was this infatuated girl?
Ye Chen'er also pushed Wang Daniu: "Move aside, we need to go to work."
Wang Daniu's gaze then shifted from Ye Chenming's face to Ye Chen'er's.
Wow, this girl is so pretty! Could she be that boy's girlfriend? But they look alike, maybe they're siblings.
Wang Daniu was guessing what was going on in her mind, but she didn't notice the fierce look in Wang Erniu's eyes.
Wang Daniu was kicked out of work by Wang Gou Dan. Now, Wang Gou Dan hates Wang Erniu and is asking around to find someone to marry off his daughter.
Unfortunately, news spread too quickly throughout the surrounding villages, and no family wanted to marry a troublemaker. Wang Gou Dan disliked Wang Er Niu even more.
Wang Sanniu and Wang Siniu suffered greatly from this. Every time they went to the foot of the mountain to dig for wild vegetables or chop firewood, they would be bullied by a group of teenagers and girls.
Either the wild vegetables they painstakingly dug up were stolen, or the firewood was burned on the spot, so the two of them were afraid to speak up at first.
But every time Wang Gou Dan came home empty-handed, he would beat her. Wang San Niu was afraid of being beaten, so she quickly told her father what had happened.
Wang Gou Dan got angry and asked which families it was. When Wang San Niu told him that Sun Mei Ping and Sun Xiao Bao from Sun Tie Zhu's family were also there, he grabbed a shovel and ran towards Sun Tie Zhu's house.
Wang Sanniu was terrified and quickly told Sanniu to go find the village chief, while she followed Wang Gou Dan and ran after him.
Wang Gou Dan grabbed a shovel and started banging it on Sun Tie Zhu's door. Unexpectedly, the gate wasn't bolted, and Wang Gou Dan almost tripped and fell.
Sun Tiezhu was cleaning the pigsty. He was lucky this year and managed to get a spot to raise pigs. The two pigs he raised were doing quite well.
When the pigs are ready for market at the end of the year, I'll sell the pork to the government and save some money to help Xiaobao find a wife.
He was humming a little tune when Wang Gou Dan's cursing came in:
"Shameless Sun family, your worthless son is still in jail, what, do you want to put the two little ones in jail too?"
Sun Tiezhu didn't care whether his eldest daughter was in jail or not; it was best if she wasn't home, as it would save on food rations.
But he couldn't scold Xiao Bao, who was his only son. Sun Tiezhu rushed out with a shovel covered in pig manure.
Wang Gou Dan was actually much smarter than Sun Tie Zhu. Instead of confronting him directly, he grabbed Sun Xiao Bao, who was playing in the yard, and used him as a shield.
Sun Tiezhu slammed on the brakes, glaring fiercely at Wang Gou Dan, and said, "You bastard, what's gotten into you today?!"
Wang Gou Dan “......”
You're the fucking bastard, you're the fucking crazy one.
When Wang Sanniu arrived, she quickly and eloquently recounted how Sun Xiaobao and Sun Meiping had fought over her wild vegetables and firewood. At the end, she wiped away her tears and said to Sun Tiezhu:
"Uncle, when we were bullied by others, my older brother and sister even helped bully us. Are they really my older brother and sister?"
Sun Tiezhu finally understood why Wang Gou Dan had come to their door. He glared at Sun Meiping and said, "Tell me, why are you bullying San Niu and Si Niu?"
Sun Meiping trembled with fear. It was always Xiaobao who made mistakes in the family, but it was always herself and her older sister who got beaten.
Sun Xiaobao was the one who led the bullying of San Niu and Si Niu. I didn't want to do anything, but Sun Xiaobao said that if you don't do anything, he'll beat you up too.
He could only run up and snatch a wild vegetable from Si Niu and a piece of firewood from San Niu.
Now that her father was pinning all the blame on her, Sun Meiping felt extremely wronged and burst into tears.
When San Niu saw Sun Meiping crying, she thought to herself that Sun Meiping was too wicked. Her older sister schemed against my older sister, and now she's scheming against me. Humph.
San Niu also burst into tears, wishing she could sing a song about cabbage to satisfy her urges.
The two girls seemed to be having a competition to see who could cry louder and wail the loudest. At first, tears were streaming down their faces, but later they were just competing to see who could shout the loudest.
The villagers who were going to work went to work, and those who weren't came to watch the commotion. Village Chief Ma was called back by his wife, and when he saw that it was Wang Gou Dan's business again, he was so angry that he wanted to grab his pipe and beat someone.
San Niu was such a clever girl; she quickly grabbed the village chief's leg and knelt down, sobbing as she recounted the whole story.
The village chief nodded. He knew about the matter and would always lend a hand whenever he saw it, but the Wang family didn't care, so he let it go.
Unexpectedly, the two little girls, San Niu and Sun, had been keeping it a secret from Wang Gou Dan. And the people Wang Gou Dan hated the most right now were undoubtedly the Yan family and the Sun family.
He didn't dare cause trouble with the Yan family, but he had no scruples with the Sun family. So when he heard that Sun Xiaobao was bullying his daughter, he came to cause trouble.
Sun Tiezhu ignored the matter, and Wang Gou Dan started making exorbitant demands, even though he still remembered the 1.4 yuan medical fee.
San Niu said that ever since Da Niu was arrested and sent to jail, Sun Xiaobao and his gang started bullying her and her sister.
The villagers were stunned when they heard this. They had been bullying the girls for two whole months. The two girls were pitiful. They had to go back and tell their children not to bully the girls anymore.
Wang Gou Dan stretched out his hand: "Sun Tie Zhu, I won't ask for much from you. One yuan per child per month, that's four yuan for two months."
Sun Tiezhu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "You Wang Gou Dan, have you fallen into the trap of money? You want my life? I don't have your money."
"No, haha, you're something else. I'll have Erniu come and beat your son every day for two months straight, and see if you can keep it up." Wang Gou Dan laughed heartily.
If Sun Xiaobao is a spoiled brat, then Wang Erniu is an ingrate who has been raised to be poisonous. He even dares to beat his own father, let alone Sun Xiaobao.
Sun Tiezhu chickened out. When it comes to fighting, even three Sun Xiaobaos wouldn't be a match for Wang Erniu, unless his son never left the house again.
"Little Bao's mother, bring out four yuan." Sun Tiezhu called out into the main room.
After a long, long time, even the village chief was starting to get impatient, Xiao Bao's mother finally came out of the main room and handed Sun Tiezhu a handkerchief package.
