Meng Cuixia: "You are shameless. You look down on my daughter, but I look down on your Sun Xiaogang even more. I don't know if he deliberately pushed my daughter into the water and then pretended to rescue her."
"As for a guy like your Sun Xiaogang, if he doesn't marry my daughter, he won't be able to marry anyone else. He's fat as a pig, with pimples all over his face. Who would be interested in him?"
"I think he's deliberately clinging to my daughter because no one else likes him. He even said he was doing it out of kindness. I think he did it on purpose. Anyway, they've already had physical contact, so they can only be together. It's not too much for me to ask for a little betrothal money."
Zheng Yanhua: "Haha, you're worried that your daughter won't get married, so you're blaming our family. I'm afraid you know no one is interested in your daughter, so you instigated her to fall into the water on purpose so that my Xiaogang can rescue her, and then you can blame my Xiaogang."
"How shameless! You have no sense of shame at all! You even dare to ask me for 300 yuan as a betrothal gift! I think you are really obsessed with money. Is your daughter really worth 300 yuan? Not even worth three yuan."
The two of them were arguing fiercely, but Tang Shiyan was watching the show while eating melon seeds. This was exactly the result she wanted. You two were as close as sisters, but now you have finally fallen out.
The aunts nearby all said, "I didn't expect these two to have such a good relationship normally. Why did they quarrel so fiercely today? This may be the end of their relationship. If they really become in-laws, then there will be endless excitement and gossip for both families."
Another aunt said, "Have you noticed? Every time there's a quarrel or an argument, that girl Tang always sits beside them, cracking melon seeds and watching. Does she really enjoy watching the show that much? It seems like she always has melon seeds in her pocket."
"Of course she wanted to watch the show. I heard that Meng Cuixia had tried to match Tang Yatou with Zheng Yanhua's eldest son, Sun Xiaogang. A few people started cursing at her, saying that Tang Yatou had slapped Meng Cuixia several times."
"They don't even consider their own strengths. How can they be a match for Tang Yatou? Besides, how can a man like Sun Xiaogang be worthy of a beautiful girl like Tang Yatou?"
Just as the two were arguing and about to come to blows, the captain came over and yelled, "What are you two doing so early in the morning? I can hear you arguing from far away. You're arguing so early in the morning every day. It seems the work you've been assigned is too easy, and you still have the energy to argue here."
"Aren't you two usually on good terms? Why are you arguing here so early this morning? Can't you just talk it out peacefully? Why do you have to quarrel here? If you have something to say, just speak up and we can solve it together. If quarreling can solve the problem, then I'll give you two a few days off so you can quarrel to your heart's content."
Meng Cuixia said: "Captain, I don't mean to argue with her. It was her eldest son, Sun Xiaogang, who saved my daughter who fell into the water. Isn't it said that if two people have physical contact, they have to get married?
I asked them for 300 yuan as a betrothal gift, but they refused, saying that my daughter had deliberately fallen into the water and that they had asked her son to save her, and that they were blaming their son for it.
"She's still saying how bad my daughter is and how she's not worthy of her son. It's lucky my daughter is marrying her son, but she's still here nitpicking. How shameless!"
Zheng Yanhua: "Captain, maybe her daughter fell into the water on purpose so that my Xiaogang could rescue her. She also knew that no one would be interested in her daughter because of her looks, so she did that on purpose so that she could put the blame on our family."
"It's really true that no one wants my own daughter, but now she is forcing her on someone else. Why should I agree to her?"
The captain said, "You two are the same, so don't criticize each other. Your children look pretty much the same. Anyone with eyes can see that. Since that's the case, why don't you just get married? Why are you arguing so loudly here so early in the morning?"
"Okay, it's already early in the morning, isn't everyone supposed to be working? If you're still standing here watching the fun, don't complain about not having enough work points and not having enough food. As for you two, do whatever you want. If you want to quarrel or make a scene, don't come to me when you have no work points and no food to eat."
"You always like to stir up trouble. Sooner or later, I, the captain, will be pissed off to death by you old women."
After hearing what the team leader said, everyone went to get their farm tools and went to work. Zheng Yanhua and Meng Cuixia heard that they would have no work points and no food to eat, and their argument ended inconclusively. They could only go to get their farm tools and go to work obediently.
Tang Shiyan thought it was all the fault of these two people. They had delayed her for so long and she didn't get to see the end of the show. Fortunately, she was quick and nimble and collected grass for the pigs quickly. If she had been like those slow people, she probably wouldn't have been able to go to town in the afternoon.
Tang Shiyan came to the hillside and saw a large field of pig grass. She had to cut it quickly and go back early, so she took out a sickle from her backpack and started cutting. It was very energizing to work alone, and she had finished cutting the pig grass in no time.
After loading the basket with pig feed, he quickly reached his home. After making lunch and eating, he carried a large sack of medicinal herbs to the town.
Because the medicinal herbs were more numerous and heavier than last time, she told Uncle Jiang in advance that she would be going to town after lunch today and asked him to take her there.
The two of them chatted and soon arrived in the town. Just like last time, after Uncle Jiang sent her to the shop that bought medicinal herbs, he drove the ox cart back to the village. On the way, Tang Shiyan told Uncle Jiang not to wait for her.
After selling the herbs, she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative and then buy a bicycle. Then she could just ride the bicycle back and ask Uncle Jiang to go back first.
Tang Shiyan carried a sack into the herbal medicine shop. "Uncle Cheng, Auntie, have you had lunch yet? I brought another large bag of herbs today. Please check the quality and weigh them first."
Wang Meijuan saw that it was Tang Shiyan who came and responded enthusiastically: "Little girl, it's you who came. We have finished lunch. Wait a minute and I will help you check the scale."
After Wang Meijuan looked at the scale, she said, "How can a little girl like you be so capable? Last time you found such a big sack of herbs to sell, and today's is even more than last time. These herbs grow deep in the mountains and old forests. You're quite brave to go there alone."
"I guess some grown men wouldn't dare go there. How did you do it? Little girl, I calculated the total amount of herbs sold today and it was 2,400 yuan. You can also calculate it yourself and see if it's that much."
Tang Shiyan: "Aunt, don't look at me because I'm a girl. Nothing can stop me. I'm used to going in and out alone. There's nothing I dare not do. Besides, as long as I can make money, I'm not afraid of going through fire and water, let alone deep in the mountains."
"Aunt, I calculated it and it's correct. There's nothing wrong with it."
Wang Meijuan took out the money, counted it and handed it to Tang Shiyan. She took the money, counted the amount and put it in her pocket.
