Zhou Changsheng glared at him and said irritably, "Eat, eat, all you know is how to eat! Look at you, so useless!"
Zhou Xiaochuan pursed his lips, tears welling up in his eyes, looking aggrieved yet not daring to offend.
It's all Xu Bowen's fault. He never expected that when he glared at Xu Bowen, Xu Bowen would stick out his tongue at him with a mocking expression.
"I'll scratch you to death!" Unable to bear it any longer, Zhou Xiaochuan attacked Xu Bowen again, this time leaving a bloody scratch on Xu Bowen's face.
This was a serious matter; it had stirred up a hornet's nest for He Shujuan. She grabbed Xu Bowen with one hand and Zhou Changsheng with the other, insisting on going to the hospital to check on their injuries.
Zhou Changsheng was also stubborn, and actually followed He Shujuan on the team's tractor to the county hospital.
Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. The poor fear the ruthless, the ruthless fear the stubborn, the stubborn fear the reckless, the reckless fear the fearless, the reckless fear the shameless, and the shameless fear the penniless. Let these two fight like dogs!
Lu Wanqing took the principal and Du Wenbing home and found two tables put together in the yard. The table where Zhao Xiaolan made clothes had also been taken out.
The children sat around the table on the limited number of chairs, or more often squatted to the side.
Each of them held a meat bun and a crab, and they were eating with gusto, their mouths greasy.
Eating crabs is quite complicated, and some of them had never even eaten them before. Du Wenbing demonstrated for them how to eat the maximum amount of crab meat without getting pricked by the crab's hard shell.
"For any little ones who don't know how to eat, come over here and I'll peel it for you." Lin Ye almost burst into tears when he saw the little girls; his heart melted.
They are just as capable as the boys at work, but when they see crabs, they immediately turn into little darlings.
After Lin Ye finished speaking, he turned his head to Lu Wanqing and said with a smile, "Wife, you're not jealous, are you?"
Lu Wanqing was happily eating a meat bun when she nudged his arm with her elbow: "What are you saying? There are so many people here!"
Everyone burst into laughter. What to do? They're about to be stuffed with dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Amidst the laughter and chatter, Lin Gou Dan from next door, unable to resist the aroma, squeezed his legs together and shuffled out of his house.
His testicles haven't healed yet after being pricked by a bamboo tip last time, and he can't walk normally at all.
With his legs clasped together, if he were to apply a layer of white powder to the triangular area of his face, he would look exactly like a clown from a flower drum opera.
The children covered their mouths and laughed when they saw him like that.
The children didn't hide anything and laughed at him for not being able to conceal it. The principal and Du Wenbing couldn't stop him even if they wanted to.
Lin Gou Dan wasn't angry. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said to Lin Ye, "Big brother, we're eating. Can I have a crab?"
Lin Ye had no idea how he could be so shameless as to ask him for food in front of so many people.
Lin Ye glanced at him, then turned away and said coldly, "These buns and crabs are for the workers. You didn't do any work, yet you want to eat crabs? How dare you!"
Lin Gou Dan's face didn't change color at all because of his words. Instead, he continued to walk towards everyone with a funny posture.
Just as one of the girls wasn't paying attention, he reached out a dirty paw and snatched the half-crab from her hand. "This is the price you pay for making fun of me."
However, he forgot about his physical condition, and as soon as he started running, he tore at his groin, causing him excruciating pain.
In his eagerness to eat crabs, he no longer cared about anything else, and his running movements were as comical as could be.
Looking at him, the girl didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally burst into tears.
"Children, what should you do if a female classmate is being bullied?" the principal suddenly asked.
The adults couldn't easily intervene over half a crab, but the children could just beat him up.
Immediately, the boys, some sitting and some squatting, put down their crabs and ran towards Lin Gou Dan, waving their little fists at him.
A child's fist may not have much power, but many hands make light work. Within minutes, Lin Gou Dan was knocked to the ground and begged for mercy.
Snowball dashed over and snatched the crab that Lin Gou Dan was protecting from beneath him.
Even if it's just half a bird, it's already dirty from falling on the ground, but they won't let Lin Gou Dan have a single bite!
When Wang Xiuqin and Lin Jianguo returned home from work and saw their son being beaten, they rushed over to chase him away, cursing and swearing.
"A bunch of ill-mannered wild children, get out of here!"
The children made faces at them, which infuriated Wang Xiuqin. But when she saw Lin Ye clenching his fists and walking towards them, shielding the children behind him, she fell silent and didn't dare to utter a sound.
A small act of impatience can ruin a big plan; she'll have plenty of ways to annoy Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing in the future.
But Lin Ye is such a scoundrel! So many crabs, yet he'd rather feed them to outsiders than to his own family. He's a complete traitor!
Looking again at Lin Gou Dan, who was lying on the ground thinking he had protected the crab, only to be disappointed when he sat up, she was truly exasperated. She grabbed his ear in annoyance and dragged him home.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh," Lin Ye said to Principal Lin and Du Wenbing.
The two chuckled and handed the crabs they were holding to the girl. "It's despicable to snatch things from children. The children did the right thing. But don't laugh at others in the future!"
The children nodded, then showed proud little expressions. The principal praised them, and they were so happy! After they finished eating, they went back to work, hoping to help Teacher Lin finish harvesting all the sweet potatoes.
At this moment, the principal, who had been looking away, suddenly fixed his gaze on the stone mill not far behind the big locust tree. The shiny black stone mill immediately caught his attention.
“I’ve heard of a stone mill made of black gold stone, which is shiny black and very durable. This must be the material!” The principal stroked his non-existent beard.
Actually, that stone mill was something I casually asked for after saving He Shujuan's family, and I never touched it again after getting it back.
After the principal mentioned it, Lu Wanqing realized that ordinary stone mills were made of grayish-white stone, and the millstones needed to be re-carved after a while.
The team leader's family had a stone mill, and anyone who wanted to grind flour had to pay one cent per pound.
Lu Wanqing didn't want to make money with a stone mill, earning it penny by penny, which was much slower than making clothes.
However, she was very interested in the value of the stone mill, so she asked, "Principal, can this stone mill be sold for money?"
The principal pulled her aside and said in a low voice, "I've heard that some people specialize in collecting old items. This stone mill should be worth a hundred yuan. You'd better keep it."
The principal was, after all, old and knowledgeable, but he didn't know that those people were collecting old items for future appreciation. Lu Wanqing, however, immediately understood what was going on.
“This stone mill is so heavy that most people can’t move it. Only A-Ye can lift it.” Lu Wanqing wasn’t worried about anyone stealing it.
