After saying this, Song Wen really rode his bike this time, taking Song Wu away, leaving Zhang Caihong jumping in the air.
"Song Wen, you will definitely regret this!"
Zhang Caihong's eyes were fixed on Song Wen's back viciously, and she was still staring at Song Wen secretly until the village chief organized a meeting in the evening.
"Dear villagers, the weather has been very abnormal recently. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The cadres of the village and the brigade have discussed it and believe that the possibility of disasters cannot be ruled out."
"But the situation is uncertain, so we can only take precautions. So we encourage everyone to stock up on a certain amount of food at home."
As soon as the village chief said this, there was an uproar everywhere.
"Why do we need to stockpile food? Won't the coarse grains we plant now be ripe before the New Year?"
"Yeah, what kind of disaster could happen? It's not windy and it's not raining, is it possible that the wheat will be flooded again?"
"But we're not planting wheat this time. We're planting whole grains like sweet potatoes, radishes, and corn. We don't have to worry about the rain, do we?"
"That's right, the weather is a bit hot and humid, how come it's abnormal?"
"Alas, the little money that every household saves nowadays is kept for emergency use."
"Who said it wasn't true? Anyway, my family won't spend money to buy food. The food is cheap to sell, but it costs a lot to buy it back."
"In my opinion, this is just looking for trouble."
Seeing that no one believed him, the village chief struck the gong twice more.
"Quiet, quiet. Villagers, we used to advocate: dig deep holes, store up food, prepare for war and famine for the people! Now, we advocate storing food for ourselves, it's the same principle!"
The village chief's words were sincere, but not everyone heard them.
In the days that followed, most villagers continued to live their lives as usual, with no intention of hoarding food.
Some families listened to the advice and just saved some food during the off-season. Only a few families who were willing to spend money would buy some cheap old grains and keep them.
Uncle Song's family is the kind of family that tightens their belts and saves on food.
Zhang Caihong threw away the hard, doughy steamed bread in her hand and cursed, "It's bad enough that the food is bad every day, but why is it getting worse day by day?"
There were only three people at the dinner table: Zhang Caihong, Aunt Song and Liu Cuihua.
Aunt Song continued to eat her food with her head down, obviously used to Zhang Caihong's attitude.
Liu Cuihua didn't even raise her eyelids. "Didn't the village chief say during the meeting that we need to store food?"
"If you want to store food, just go ahead and buy it. I've never heard of saving it from the current rations."
Zhang Caihong was really fed up. She hadn't had a good meal since she got married. When she was at home, she had nothing to eat and could often eat meat.
Liu Cuihua continued to eat, not affected at all: "You need money to buy that, will you give me money?"
"How come you don't have any money? Didn't you cheat the Song Wen family out of a lot of money before? What are you saving this money for? You can't afford to eat or wear it."
When Liu Cuihua heard this, she paused in her eating and finally raised her head to look at her.
Aunt Song, who didn't say a word the whole time and just focused on eating, couldn't help but pull on Zhang Caihong's clothes, signaling her not to argue with her grandma.
Zhang Caihong didn't appreciate it.
"Don't pull me, am I wrong? Can people eat these things? Humph, I won't eat them."
Liu Cuihua raised her eyebrows and clapped her hands, "Whether you like to eat it or not, who doesn't eat these?"
The chopsticks were placed heavily on the table, making a snapping sound.
Zhang Caihong was not afraid either, and immediately glared back: "My uncle's family is not like this, I see that Wu Xing has gained weight from eating so much, but I am the only one whose complexion has turned green from eating so much."
Liu Cuihua was very annoyed and stood up: "Then you can go to your uncle's house to eat. You are really very impressive. Who would want to be a daughter-in-law like you? When Song Jin comes back, I will let him teach you a lesson."
Zhang Caihong became even angrier when she heard her mention Song Jin.
"Then go tell him that he only comes back once a week. How can you see him? Humph, he can't eat well, and he can't live well. Whoever wants to be his daughter-in-law can be his daughter-in-law. I won't be his daughter-in-law anymore."
Zhang Caihong walked out angrily.
She didn't want to live with Song Jin anymore. She wanted to find Song Wen. She still wanted to live with Song Wen.
She is also a woman, and she has everything that Wu Xing has. But she has something that Wu Xing doesn't have, so she is better than Wu Xing anyway.
