"These kids are so naughty, they just couldn't stand still and ran out to play! You're slandering us!" Lin Tian found an excuse and pinched her waist. "Village Chief Jiang, is this what you call fairness? If you don't handle this matter properly, we won't accept it!"
Zheng Wangshi could no longer stand. She had never lost an argument before! She had never lost a fight, especially when it came to her loud voice!
"I won't give in! I don't believe you, Lin, didn't hear those little bastards yelling, 'What's wrong with being here first?' Do you think others are deaf?!"
She also put her hands on her hips and pointed at Lin Tian's nose in a loud and condescending voice, cursing, "No wonder you guys keep interrupting our village chief when he's speaking. So that's what you're up to. You're so short and mean, and you have evil intentions. We're so unlucky to be assigned to the same village with a woman like you. Come on, come on, let's go to the village head and have a good talk. Let him judge the situation!"
Zheng Wangshi's outburst boosted their morale, and many women joined the verbal battle - "A few boys can't beat two girls, and you still have the nerve to complain!"
"If a young man from our village is so cowardly, he must be slapped in the face!"
"So you're waiting for us here? Do you really think we're easy to talk to just because we're being nice to you? Let's see if we can drown you with a single spit from each of us."
······
With superior combat power and numerical advantage, the situation was an overwhelming victory.
Lin Jiuyi almost dropped his jaw at the scene in front of him. Seeing that his sister-in-law Lin Tian was about to be drowned in spit, his elder brother shrank his neck and dared not step forward, and the others looked as if it had nothing to do with him. He stomped his feet and walked through the crowd to find Jiang Zhengmao.
Jiang Zhengmao had wanted to wait until the fight started before speaking out, but when he saw Lin Jiuyi coming to plead for mercy, he decided not to stand by and watch the show. He said loudly, "Everyone, calm down. It's almost dark if you keep arguing. Find a good house and get some sleep. Nothing else matters."
As soon as Jiang Zhengmao opened his mouth, the women who were besieging Lin Tianshi spat and turned away without any desire to fight.
"Brother Lin, people from both sides came to occupy the house in advance. It's not a question of who is at a loss or not. It all depends on their own abilities. Do you have anything to say?" Jiang Zhengmao asked Lin Jiuyi with a smile.
Lin Jiuyi wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but he waved his hands repeatedly when he heard that, "No, no, no."
"Okay then, let's go!"
People dispersed quickly. In other words, the Lin group left quickly. Jiang Huaixu finished watching a lively performance and walked up to Jiang Zhengmao and said, "Uncle, my family lives here. The houses in this row and the row in front are both pretty good. Let's choose this one."
Jiang Boliang looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's find a room to sleep in first. It will be enough for so many people. With more people, we can clean up the yard and the house faster. After we get some rest, we can all work together to repair the nearby houses tomorrow. If we work together, there's nothing we can't get through!"
"Brother Liang is right!"
"We have to live next to each other. I don't want to be neighbors with that Lin gang!"
"Yes, if there is anything, we will take care of each other."
······
Jiang Zhengmao helplessly signaled everyone to be quiet, "Just do as Aliang says!"
Jiang Miao said at the right time: "Three or four houses nearby have not collapsed. We can just clean them up and sleep there."
"Okay." Jiang Zhengmao nodded. "Boss, Dalang, you guys divide up the rooms for everyone. After that, the men will clean up the yard and the houses, and the women will light the fire and cook. Put up the torches!"
After the last sentence, everyone responded with great enthusiasm. The spirit and energy that had been lost due to the ruined village had miraculously returned after the quarrel.
In less than three quarters of an hour, the weeds in the yard of the house occupied by Jiang Huaixu were cleared away. The adults were busy, and the children were not idle either. The older children took the younger children with torches to collect firewood around the house and piled them together.
The women built a simple stove in the yard using the firewood pile and prepared a simple meal while chatting and laughing.
The simple rice porridge and coarse flour pancakes, plus pickles made from wild vegetables, made everyone very satisfied.
After dinner, Jiang Zhengmao asked the men to block the windows in the house, assign rooms to the women and girls, and leave the rest of the room for the men.
Once you enter the village, you can't sleep anywhere like you do on the road. You still have to take care of the separation of men and women.
Only after the rooms were divided did Jiang Zhengmao feel completely relieved.
Sitting on the floor, Jiang Huaixu scratched her hands and then her head. She didn't know why, but after warming up, she felt itchy all over her body.
Seeing her scratching, Jiang Wei felt uncomfortable all over and started scratching herself too.
Qian Xiuzhu looked at him and wanted to laugh, "What are you two doing? Are you competing to scratch each other? Stop scratching. It's cold at night and it's easy to catch a cold. Take a good bath tomorrow when the sun comes out."
"Mom, I suspect I have lice on my head..." Jiang Huaixu said dejectedly.
The thought of this possibility gave her goosebumps. She clearly had the shark pearl, so how could this thing be there? Could it be that the lice had slipped through the net?
As for the itchy hands, she suspected it was frostbite. In her memory, her original body had itchy hands for several years in a row. Chongming Prefecture was much colder than Huai'an Prefecture, so it was not surprising that they were itchy at this time.
It's nothing compared to head lice and frostbite.
"What's the big deal about having lice? We'll wash our hair tomorrow." Qian Xiuzhu comforted.
Jiang Huaixu was not comforted. She said to Fu Tuan: [Tuanzi, scan! Scan!]
Fu Tuan really didn't want to bother with the host. Knowing that it was a mysophobia, he put it in a dusty place like this, and made it scan its dirty head that hadn't been washed for several days!
"You are dirty!" he said angrily, then he jumped out of the window and walked out of the house.
Knowing that she didn't have head lice, Jiang Huaixu instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Without caring where Fu Tuan went, she pulled Jiang Rong, who had been pulling her hair, and flipped through her messy hair. After looking at it, she wanted to kneel down and beg a pair of eyes that had never seen it.
She looked at Jiang Rong with a look of despair and said, "No wonder you're anemic. You've been fed to the lice. Tomorrow, your little head will belong to me."
Jiang Rong blinked as if she understood something, and squinted her eyes to reveal her tiny teeth.
I slept soundly until dawn.
Jiang Huaixu, woken up by the noise outside, rubbed his eyes and asked Fu Tuan: [What's going on outside?]
[Some stupid human tried to touch me, and I scratched him.]
Jiang Huaixu immediately woke up, quickly put on his clothes and ran out.
