Chapter 7
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Grandma Wang's daughter-in-law came out of the house.
"I'm talking about the four children of Bi Er's family. They're really sensible, but alas, their lives are a bit hard... Look, the four sisters came back to see Old Lady Guo and brought a lot of things with them. I can even see the marks of cans. Don't look at Old Lady Guo as a bad person. She is actually quite blessed."
The Wang family's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Mom, you are lucky too. Let's buy some canned food in a couple of days."
Grandma Wang glared at her daughter-in-law and said, "Well, I'm not greedy for that bite of food. We still have to save money for our Daming to get married."
"Hey, since you love Daming so much, let Daming buy you something delicious!"
"Hahaha, fine then. I'll just wait for my eldest grandson to be filial to me. Let's go home and have dinner!"
We sisters don't know the conversation between the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If we knew, we would definitely smile awkwardly. Grandma Wang is really overthinking it...
Bi Qiuguo walked ahead with ease, turned to Bi Chunliu and said, "Sister, please give me some water. I'm thirsty."
Bi Chunliu took out the can from her bag and handed it to Bi Qiuguo.
The can was filled with brown sugar water, more than half full. The sisters took turns taking a few sips. After finishing the water, Bi Chunliu put the empty bottle back in her bag. Okay, finishing the water will also reduce the burden on me.
Bi Weiguo suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped his head: "Sister, why don't we hide this can outside? Otherwise, Aunt San will see it and she will have to keep it."
Bi Xiahe: "Not really? Didn't we bring it last time?"
Bi Qiuguo raised his hand: "I agree with Second Brother's idea. Third Sister, have you forgotten? Third Aunt also kept the bottle from last time. Otherwise, why would we buy another can of food?"
"Oh, that's right!" The three of them looked at Bi Chunliu.
It's no wonder Bi Weiguo and the others thought so of Aunt Bi San. It was really that Aunt Bi San did even more than they said. There are two words to describe Aunt Bi San's behavior: one is plucking the feathers of a passing goose, and the other is leaving the skin of an animal. Of course, the two words have the same meaning. But these two words with the same meaning can show how serious Aunt Bi San's stinginess and taking advantage of others are. Even if Aunt Bi San meets an iron rooster, she will still take a bite. Others live by breaking every penny into two halves, but Aunt Bi San breaks her own money into six pieces and then works hard to get a few handfuls from others. There is not a single vegetable garden in the neighborhood that Aunt Bi San has not secretly visited.
Bi Chunliu: ...I haven't dealt with Third Aunt for a long time, and I almost forgot what kind of person she is.
"How do you want to hide? Any good ideas?"
Bi Weiguo: "How about we find a place to dig a hole and bury everything?"
Bi Qiuguo nodded in agreement because she had also thought of this idea.
Bi Xiahe: "Why bury it in the ground? We have to dig a hole, and we don't have any tools. It's very dirty. Brother, can't you climb trees? Find a tree and put it on it."
Huh? The second child can climb trees? Bi Chunliu really didn't know Bi Weiguo had this ability. "Let's find a hidden branch and put the things on the tree."
Bi Chunliu handed the can to Bi Weiguo, and thought for a moment, why not put the bag on it as well? It seemed safer this way, and he could just carry the things for his grandmother in his hands.
Bi Chunliu's idea of putting the bag there was unanimously agreed by the other three. It was a good idea, a good idea. There was no need to worry about the cans or bottles breaking, so it was completely safe.
A few of them sneaked back to the poplar forest outside the village entrance and put the bag of cans in its place safely. Then Sister Bi Chunliu and the other two briskly continued on their way.
When they were not far from Uncle Bi's house, two women holding bowls and chopsticks hurried past the four sisters while jogging. They held the bowls steadily in their hands while running.
"Hey, you see, this Bi Lao San has a really hard life, with such a wife! When he gets off work and sees that his wife is in trouble again, I wonder what he will do?"
