Chapter 9 Is the mother a wicked woman?
The way of selling fish in the streets and alleys was more successful than Zhang Ze had imagined. The remaining fish in the fishing space were quickly sold out. It was worth it that he was lost in Yuewan County for so long.
The price depends on the weight of the fish, three or four yuan per fish. There is nothing we can do if the price is cheaper than expected, so we have to give some discount to make it sell better.
Even if these people have good family conditions, buying a fish for a few dollars is a luxury.
While walking on the road, he happened to meet a man who was selling fish on the streets just like him.
But instead of selling edible fish, they were selling goldfish, packed in plastic bags.
Zhang Ze's eyes lit up and he immediately went over and bought a bag.
Then he went to an empty corner and put the goldfish into the fishing space, poured out the water in the bag and turned it over, then put all the money and bills on his body into the bag, tied a knot, tightened it, and then put it back into the fishing space.
After observing for a while and seeing that the water in the space did not leak into the bag, he went to the station and went home with the two dollars in his pocket.
I walked around in the morning, and then went from street to street selling fish. Now the sun was already high in the sky.
After roughly determining the position of the sun, Zhang Ze estimated that it should be around ten o'clock in the morning and his family must be very worried about him.
So he didn't think about continuing to eat outside at noon and chose to go home quickly.
I arrived at the bus stop and waited for half an hour before a bus came. I got on the bus with my things.
The bus was swaying on the road. When passing the terrifying path from last night, Zhang Ze saw a skull next to an opened grave. He felt like it was smiling at him.
"." Zhang Ze was silent for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
Even if he starved to death, he would never walk this road late at night again!
"Hey, when did Aze go to the city? He bought so many things. Did he get rich?"
After getting off the bus in the town and arriving in the village with his belongings, an acquaintance saw him and came over to curiously look into his bucket and bamboo basket. However, his bamboo basket was covered with clothes, so no one could see anything.
The person who was talking to Zhang Ze was a young man about his age, and he was not very familiar with him.
It's just that his sister is pretty, and Zhang Qian is of marriageable age, so there are many people who are interested in her, so most young people treat him quite well.
"What kind of money can I make? I'll go to the city and do some manual labor to earn some money for food. I'll buy some rice and have a dry meal tonight. I've been drinking porridge every day and I've almost forgotten what it feels like to have a full stomach."
"I won't say any more. My family is waiting for me!"
Zhang Ze slightly turned his body to avoid the young man's hand that was reaching for the bamboo basket, and quickly left after saying a few nonsense.
From time to time, he would meet some acquaintances on the road, and he would just nod his head as a greeting.
But when an old man with slightly gray hair came towards him, Zhang Ze was startled, and then he called out in a calm tone: "Grandpa!"
The man looked at him with a complicated expression, paused for a moment and nodded: "Did you go to the city to buy something?"
"Well, my mother is waiting for me, I'll go back first!" Zhang Ze didn't stop, he replied and left directly.
"Your mother is arguing with Er Gouzi's mother, right there on the ridge of the field!"
"Fight?" Zhang Ze was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly remembered that his mother was a well-known evil woman in the village! Not only did she curse, she also liked to beat people, which gave the team leader of their production team a headache.
He knew that his mother was originally a gentle woman, but life and environment forced her to become a shrew who could curse at any time. However, this shrew would never yell at her sensible children.
Zhang Ze will always remember the scene when he was twelve years old and there was nothing to eat at home. His mother went to his grandfather's house to beg them for something to eat, but was turned away in the end.
The village chief couldn't bear it anymore and lent them ten kilograms of rice.
Later, when the government learned the news, they brought some food and money to express their condolences and help them through the difficult times.
Of course, his uncles also often sent food, otherwise Zhang Huihong would not have been able to raise such a large family.
As for his father's relatives, Zhang Ze hated them, but he had let them go after he got older. But forget about getting close to them, they were just strangers at best.
His family has almost cut off ties with his grandparents, uncles, aunts and other relatives. Only the younger generations will politely address their elders when they meet them, and this is forced by Zhang Huihong.
There is no complicated relationship involved, it is mainly related to Zhang Ze's mother's family.
His father died while catching an enemy spy, but there were other reasons.
In fact, the enemy spies fled to the next village and secretly hid in the home of Zhang Huihong's parents.
The old couple were not afraid of death, because of the social atmosphere at that time, they dared to fight to the death if they found enemy spies.
One went to tip off the enemy, and the other dealt with the enemy spies.
What a coincidence, Zhang Huihong brought their family back to her parents' home.
The final result was that both the old couple were gone. Zhang Ze's grandfather died on the spot. After his grandmother came back with the news and saw that her husband was gone, she lost control of her emotions and rushed forward madly and also died.
Zhang Ze's father died in the fight with enemy spies while protecting them. Fortunately, his uncles who arrived finally killed the seriously injured enemy spies and saved them.
Sacrificing one's small family for the country is a sad thing but it is also a good thing.
But Zhang Ze's grandparents lost their youngest and most beloved child, and due to the instigation of his other two sons and daughter-in-law, they somehow blamed Zhang Huihong for their youngest son's death.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She said that it was she who suggested returning to her parents' home, and if it wasn't for her own son, he wouldn't have died.
But no one would have thought how sad it would be for a woman to lose her husband and parents in one day.
Zhang Ze couldn't understand this kind of thinking until he was reborn. Perhaps he couldn't put himself in the shoes of his grandparents.
Fortunately, there were no more messy things, and both sides just lived their own lives without any contact with each other.
Zhang Ze quickly came to the edge of the field and immediately saw a group of people gathered around.
"Zhang Huihong, please don't turn the tables. It was clearly your daughter who seduced my son. Wasn't the water chestnut in my son's hand secretly given to him by your daughter?"
Zhang Qian, who heard this, immediately said anxiously: "I don't have it, Er Gouzi snatched it from me."
Zhang Huihong raised her hand and slapped the woman who was speaking heavily on the face. The "pop" sound was particularly loud.
"Bullshit, your son Er Gou is a lazy guy who doesn't even like Tian Erniu in the village. How can my daughter like your son Er Gou?"
Tian Erniu, a well-known idiot girl in the village, was born mentally retarded and had an average appearance.
Zhang Ze remembered that in later life, the girl married another honest man with a disabled leg.
As for Er Gouzi, he is indeed a second-rate guy who is despised by even the Tian family.
After Zhang Huihong finished scolding, she continued to shout loudly: "Everyone, please judge for yourself. This old guy's son has a bad reputation and can't get married, but he actually instigated his son to steal my daughter's things. He also shamelessly ruined the girl's reputation. He wanted to let my daughter's reputation be ruined so that he could benefit from it?"
"Bah! Even if I raise a daughter for the rest of my life, I won't let your dog get away with it!"
"Zhang Huihong, if you dare to hit me, I will fight you!" Ergouzi's mother felt guilty, and she really thought so.
Her son likes to steal things, is lazy and doesn't like to take a bath, and he always smells.
Their reputation was so bad that even the dogs in the neighboring village shook their heads when they saw them. In the end, they simply set their sights on the Zhang family.
Zhang Huihong has no man and her family is poor, so she is relatively easy to bully.
The main thing is that the two daughters are well taken care of. Although they are a little skinny, they have everything they need and are good-looking. Many young people in the village are attracted to them.
Her thoughts were exposed and she was slapped in the face. Ergouzi's mother felt guilty and pretended to be angry and started to fight with Zhang Huihong.
