Chapter 6: All for One Egg

Although Fu Yuanhang didn't like his sister-in-law very much, he was very tolerant of her under the subtle influence of his mother. As long as she didn't think about selling Chenchen all day, he wouldn't bother her.

"It's my aunt. She comes to our house to use the toilet at this time every day. You didn't run into her before because you never got up so early."

It was not a complaint, let alone a accusation. Fu Yuanhang was simply stating the fact.

Su Taotao opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Sleeping until the third hour was nothing. The original owner did so many weird things, and this was just the beginning.

I asked casually, "Doesn't she have a toilet at home?"

Fu Yuanhang shook his head and said, "We are the only family in the whole brigade that has this squat toilet."

Didn't you strongly ask your elder brother to hire someone to do it when you got married? Fu Yuanhang thought, it cost a lot of money.

Su Taotao also knew that she asked a nonsense question. This was the 1970s. Every household put a urine bucket at home for small defecation, and then built a toilet outside for large defecation. Firstly, the conditions did not allow it, and secondly, it could store some organic fertilizer. After all, every household's private plot needed fertilizer.

Su Taotao had a bad feeling and asked, "Except for my aunt, no one else will come to our house to poop, right?"

Fu Yuanhang was about to speak when a few aunties came in and discussed the right to use the toilet:

Auntie A: "Oh, my leftover salted vegetables may have gone bad. My stomach has been growling all morning. Sorry, let me go first."

Auntie B: "No, I got here first. I was in a hurry too. If I wasn't in a hurry, why would I come so early?"

Auntie C: "Yes, yes, first come, first served. If you can't hold it any longer, go to the toilet. There is no reason to cut in line!"

Auntie A squeezed forward: "Why are you like this? If I was still used to going to the toilet, would I come here to waste fertilizer? Oh, please be kind, I really can't hold it any longer..."

Auntie B and Auntie C pushed her to the back and said in unison: "No!"

Su Taotao: "..." Did the aunties who came to her house to use the toilet ask for her opinion as the owner?

"Ahem... Ahem..." Su Taotao crossed her arms and walked up to them, blocking their way, smiling, "Good morning, ladies."

When the people who were arguing saw that it was Su Taotao, their pupils dilated, as if their throats were instantly strangled, and the quarrel stopped abruptly.

Auntie A pointed at her: "You...you...you are Chenchen's mother? Why are you here?"

Su Taotao laughed at her question: "I should ask you this, ladies, have you forgotten that this is my home?"

Auntie A pouted, thinking, "Do you still remember that this is your home? No one is seen all day long. "

It's really not the aunties' fault. The original owner was indeed not at home all day, and they forgot how long they hadn't seen her.

Auntie B was more aware of current affairs: "I haven't seen Comrade Su for a while. He looks better and better."

Auntie B had just said this casually, but now she looked incredible. Was she a fairy?

After hearing what she said, everyone looked at Su Taotao carefully. Isn't she? Su Taotao, with her fair face and creamy skin, was already as beautiful as a fairy in the spring light. The contrast was even more striking against the background of the sunburned working people. At first glance, wasn't she a fairy?

Auntie C came to her senses and said, "Girls from the city are different. They are pretty and even the toilets at home are very convenient. Is anyone inside? Let's go to the toilet first and then talk."

Su Taotao was startled. Oh no, she forgot to make herself ugly before leaving the room. This was the first time she had seen such a good-looking face without makeup. What could she do? She could only frown and use her bad temper and ugly face to weaken her looks!

Su Taotao stopped smiling, put one hand on her waist and pointed at their noses and cursed: "What's wrong with you? You came to my house to poison so early in the morning. Do you think my house is a public toilet? I haven't even gone to the toilet yet, and you have the nerve to make my yard stink. How can I still have breakfast? Go away, go away, you are not welcome in our house, go back to where you came from!"

The aunties were stunned by her scolding.

Auntie A reacted the fastest: "Hey, what's wrong with you? We came to your house early in the morning to deliver fertilizer, and you didn't thank us, but you actually scolded us for spreading poison?"

Auntie B: "Yes, we feel sorry for your orphans and widows, and there is not enough fertilizer to irrigate your private plots, so we came to your house to use the toilet out of pity, why are you scolding us?" Auntie C: "You are still

a high school student and an educated youth. We come every day and your mother-in-law doesn't say anything, but you say such harsh words, you are simply a shrew!"

Su Taotao was not annoyed, she was indeed not good at shrews, and the atmosphere could only be raised here. She stretched out her hand, pinched her thumb and index finger, and made a gesture of counting money:

"Oh, so you aunties are so kind. Our family is not only short of fertilizer, but also money. Look how thin our Chenchen is from hunger. How about you be kind and give us some money? Not really giving, but how about this, from now on, every time you come to our house to use the toilet, it will be 1 cent. If you subscribe to a monthly plan, we can give you a 30% discount. How about two yuan a month?"

Aunt A's stomach was indeed a little uncomfortable. After hearing what Su Taotao said, even her blood pressure soared. "You, you, you..." Your face turned red for a long time. Before she finished speaking, she turned around and ran away, covering her butt. She was really too anxious!

Auntie B jumped up and spoke like a screaming chicken: "Two dollars? Are you crazy about money? Why don't you just go and rob it!"

Her whole family worked hard for a full month, and even after saving money, they couldn't save two dollars. And they wanted to charge her two dollars for going to the toilet. It was like asking her to die!

Auntie B looked at Su Taotao's "ugly" face and thought that she must have been blind to think that she turned into a fairy. This greedy face was uglier than the old woman in the village!

Aunt C pointed at Su Taotao and said, "You must have fallen into the river yesterday and your brain is damaged. Hurry up and find Huang Liu to get some medicine. If you dare to take our money, I will go to the commune and sue you for cutting off the tail of capitalism!"

Su Taotao nodded and said, "That's right, it's not appropriate to charge money. Then I'll give you an egg each time. That's twenty eggs per month."

These days, eggs are hard currency.

Auntie C said, pulling Auntie B over: "Bah, Huang Liu only received five eggs for treating a patient, what's your basis? Let's go back to our own toilet and save the fertilizer for our own plot. We can't let such a stupid person get away with it!"

Su Taotao looked at their backs and smiled, bending over, shouting: "Hey, aunties, you really don't want to go to the toilet, the toilet is so smelly, this egg is still worth giving, remember to help me promote it more, and get more people to come to our house to use the toilet. No matter who comes, I promise to only take one egg, no matter who comes!"

The two aunties stumbled and almost tripped over the doorstep. At the same time, they turned around and glared at Su Taotao fiercely.

It's not like she's sick, nor is there no toilet at home. Is there anyone else in this production team who has water in his brain besides Su Taotao?

Sure enough, within ten minutes, the members of the entire production team were saying that Su Taotao fell into the river yesterday and got water in her brain. They even said that whoever went to her house to use the toilet had to collect an egg!

Anyway, no one dared to go to Su Taotao's house to use the toilet from then on.

Of course, this is all a story for later.

The auntie who listened to the whole process in the toilet had finished for a long time, and she didn't dare to come out, for fear that Su Taotao would tease her about her eggs.

Until Su Taotao couldn't hold it any longer and knocked on the door: "Aunt, you didn't fall into the toilet, did you? If you don't come out, I'll kick the door."

Aunt had no choice but to open the door, not even daring to raise her head to look at Su Taotao, leaving a sentence "I have something to do at home" and ran out of the yard like escaping, not to mention, the speed was comparable to the speed when she came.

Not to mention Su Taotao, even Zhou Linglan and Fu Yuanhang breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't like these people coming to their house to use the toilet.

Since the squat toilet was built at home, people who come to squat and defecate at home every day from morning to night are endless, saying that they are delivering fertilizer to their family, but the fertilizer in the septic tank is picked up by them to water the vegetables, and Zhou Linglan has never used it.

Zhou Linglan was thin-skinned and soft-hearted, and it was not easy for her to quarrel with her fellow villagers. She had to greet them with a smile no matter how much she disliked them. Fu Yuanhang had said this several times, but everyone treated him as a child and did not take his words to heart. He was also worried that his mother would have a hard time, so he endured it.

He was really enlightened today, and it really proved that evildoers will be punished by evildoers.

To deal with these people, such extraordinary measures were really needed.

Fu Yuanhang looked at Su Taotao, who was smiling but insisted on carrying Chenchen to wash her face and brush her teeth, and thought thoughtfully that his sister-in-law might really have lost her mind, and it seemed that she was doing quite well.
