Chapter 009: Traitor 9
"Short-lived ghost! Unlucky star, open the door for grandpa!"
Ergouzi was a small man with a big temper. He started swearing and knocked on the wooden door loudly.
Xiao Chen rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out and teach him a lesson, but he heard Xiao Yan say, "Don't give people something to talk about."
It's not worth it to hit the older one after the younger one, who is their nominal elder. If you want to teach a naughty child a lesson, there will be plenty of opportunities sooner or later, so there is no need to rush.
Xiao Chen just thought that Xiao Yan was too kind-hearted, but what he was thinking in his heart was to wait until no one else would teach this bastard a lesson and keep his brother from knowing.
As soon as the door was opened, Ergouzi rushed into the main hall and ordered people around as if he was at home.
"Oh, I'm so tired, hurry up and pour me a glass of water! I want sweet water!"
Xiao Chen: “…”
Xiao Chen clenched his fists, "You still want sweet water? I think you want your fists!"
Er Gouzi was really afraid that Xiao Chen would beat him up, so he quickly shouted, "Hey, stop it, stop it! I came here today to tell you something important! My parents want to take you, a jinx and a short-lived ghost, to my house and kill you all because you saved that troublemaker from the Sun family!"
He raised his chin and said, "Do you want to know? If you want to know, then quickly pour me a bowl of sweet water!"
Xiao Yan & Xiao Chen: "..."
How could Uncle Xiao, who is such a shrewd, mercenary and greedy man, have a son who is as stupid as a pig?
Is this really his uncle's son?
But then again, is backstabbing one's parents considered a tradition in my uncle's family?
Xiao Chen expressionlessly began to chase them away: "Get out!"
What Er Gouzi said was not surprising. Before, there were only two fields and one piece of land, and his uncle was able to make plans for their family. Now that the Sun family's incident happened, how could he sit still? It was not surprising to have such an idea.
But what surprised him was that Ergouzi would actually betray his own parents and come to tip off the news. This was quite rare.
But then he thought again, Ergouzi is still young, and he probably doesn't know what benefits this matter can bring. In addition, Ergouzi was beaten because of him before, and he probably feels that this incident will threaten his family's status, so this happened.
To put it bluntly, it's still selfish, but there is no conscience.
Ergouzi was being chased by Xiao Chen with a broom, and he hurriedly dodged.
"You idiot! I told you something serious, why did you hit someone?!"
He shouted, "Just wait! When you get to my house, I'll have my mother beat you to death!"
Er Gouzi ran out of the house cursing, but he didn't dare go home to tell Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao that he was bullied. Although he was young, he knew that if his parents knew about it, they would definitely give him a feast of bamboo shoots and fried meat!
Now Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen are fools, and his parents don't listen to him. How can he change his parents' minds?
Er Gouzi frowned, but when he saw the village head walking on the path with his hands behind his back, his eyes immediately lit up!
By the way, find the village head!
Even though this old man is annoying, his parents will definitely listen to him! And he also likes to meddle in other people's business! He has heard his parents scold him many times!
He knew that if they had no way to deal with the head of the village, his parents would definitely not hide behind him and curse him. Just like him, although he wanted to curse his parents for being old and crazy, he didn't dare to curse them to their faces, right?
So his parents must be afraid of the village head just like him!
Er Gouzi took short steps: "Third Uncle, Third Uncle! Wait for me!"
Village head: “…”
The village head scolded him sternly: "You little bastard, whose master are you?"
Er Gouzi waved his hand nonchalantly: "You see, you're old and your ears just don't work well."
Village head: “???”
Now the head of the village finally understood why so many people wanted to beat Ergouzi. In the past, as the head of the village, Ergouzi never dared to come to him. But now, the first sentence had already made him clench his fists, and now he even dared to say that his old ears were not working well!
Listen, is this human language?!
The village head was thinking about when to go talk to Xiao Dashi. He said, "Just because the child is young, others should not be bullied by him. Who doesn't have a child? Why should they be bullied by your child?"
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Er Gouzi say, "Uncle San, I have something important to tell you! You must help me take care of my father and mother!"
Thinking of the restless Xiao Dashi family, the village head felt a little bad. But Er Gouzi, this naughty kid, wasn't a good person either. Why would he be so kind? Could he be under the orders of his parents?
These two bastards! They even corrupted the children!
The village head suppressed his dissatisfaction and curled his lips: "You say."
Seeing that the village head did not chase people away without even listening to his words like Xiao Chen did, Ergou looked at him approvingly.
The village head, who was not happy about being praised by the child, said: "..."
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath. He's still a child. What bad intentions does he have? He's just being used by the adults at home!
Er Gouzi revealed a shocking secret: "You know about my cousin Xiao Chen saving the young master of the Sun family? My parents said they would take Xiao Chen to my house and not give him any food!"
Although Ergouzi didn't know what this matter had to do with the Sun family, if Xiao Chen moved into their house, he would share his parents' love!
Village head: “???”
Village head: “!!!”
Is it possible to talk openly about murder for money?!
Also, this matter is also beneficial to Ergouzi himself, so why did he say it out loud?
The village head looked down at Ergouzi, whose face was filled with anger and who had no idea that his words would cause him any loss.
Oh, this naughty kid probably hasn't figured this out yet. It looks like Ergou must have overheard it himself, and his parents didn't explain the seriousness of it to him.
But if you put yourself in their shoes, it's true. What adult would explain matters to a child? It's a good thing these two didn't say anything, otherwise these two bastards would really bring a bad name to their Shancai Village!
They don’t even think about it carefully. Is it so easy to get the benefits?
Xiao Chen was the young master of the Sun family's lifesaver! Would the Sun family just sit there and watch his uncle bully their lifesaver? Did they think they were fools?
Compared with Xiao Dashi and his wife, the head of the village prefers the obedient, sensible and pitiful Xiao Yan brothers.
Furthermore, in his opinion, Xiao Chen was very lucky! Now that he was on good terms with the Sun family, he would definitely rise in the future. Why not take this opportunity to curry favor with the Sun family?
The village head's eyes flashed, and he made up his mind, "Okay, I already know about this."
Ergouzi stood there without moving.
He was a little distrustful: "Can you really control my father and mother?"
The village head said with a smile: "Don't worry, your cousin won't live in your house."
After getting the guarantee, Ergouzi felt relieved and ran off to play with a smile.
The village head looked at this naughty boy who betrayed his parents, and he immediately became concerned about the upbringing of his children and grandchildren.
His children and grandchildren must be properly managed, and we cannot act recklessly and treat them as ignorant. We cannot have children and grandchildren like Ergouzi!
-
Xiao Chen was thinking about what Ergouzi said, and didn't pay much attention to it as he washed his hair with ginger.
Using the root of the first fire can remove the fishy smell. This is a wonderful method he heard from others in his previous life.
This uncle's family is truly greedy! Their murderous intent hasn't been dispelled! Do they really think he's easy to mess with?
Xiao Chen pursed his lips, intending to give Uncle Xiao's family some things to do so as to avoid having to keep an eye on them all day long!
After all, who can guard against thieves for a thousand days? For his peaceful life, he had to ask them to find something to do!
"Brother, can you give me ten copper coins? I want to buy some cloth."
The main thing is that his pants are already torn and difficult to mend, and we can't let the hem of his pants be exposed to the wind, right?
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to the market tomorrow."
Xiao Chen: “!!!”
"Brother! Your body..."
Xiao Yan looked at him and said, "You are so young, and there are so many kidnappers around. How can I worry about you? Even if we are from the same village, how can we always look after you?"
"Look at me, am I feeling better? We can take Uncle Hong's donkey cart, so it won't be a problem."
Xiao Chen was moved again.
His brother was such a frugal person, who usually would have split a copper coin into two, but he actually spent so much money on him.
Ah, brother really cares about him!
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yan's face carefully and found that not only did his complexion look a little better, but his pale lips also looked a little pinker. Only then did he feel relieved.
I will persuade my brother to go to Renhetang tomorrow. In his previous life, he heard that the owner of Renhetang provided free medical treatment to people in order to do charity!
Originally, he planned to wait until his brother got better before going, but he knew that the illness could not be delayed, and it was better to get treatment early and recover early than to delay it at home.
"Okay, then you should wear more clothes tomorrow and don't catch a cold." Xiao Chen advised like a little adult.
Both parties are very satisfied with this.
At 2:15 in the afternoon, the sky was still gloomy, and Shanshui had already arrived at the door with a small basket.
"These are the eggs my mother gave me. There are ten of them in total. You can boil them or steam them. Oh, and she also put a few pieces of malt sugar in them. You can drink them with water. They are very nourishing!"
Shanshui stuffed the basket into Xiao Chen's hands and said, "Go put it away and give it to me later."
He walked to the small kitchen without any hesitation and looked at the half fish that was already steaming in the pot.
I saw half of the fish covered with thin yellow strips of material I couldn't tell, and a little bit of oil drizzled on it. The fishy smell was not very strong, but the aroma of fish was fragrant, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Chen Ge'er is a good cook. He was worried that Chen Ge'er might not cook well and the fish smell would be too strong, so he came early.
"Brother Chen, please be careful with the cooking. I'll go to your uncle's house to get the food."
Not only did he bring eggs for this meal, he also brought his own steamed buns and a small bowl of eggs fried in lard.
Anyway, Xiao Yan's family had already agreed with Uncle Xiao's family that even if they had to cook for themselves, they had to go get it! They couldn't let his uncle get away with it for nothing!
Er Gouzi thought that because of what happened last time, Uncle Xiao's family would be prepared. Even if they didn't dare not give him anything, they wouldn't give him anything good. He didn't expect that this time, not only were there some oil residues, but there were also two boiled eggs and a small bowl of sliced meat!
He came back feeling a little dizzy, carrying the bowl, and mumbled, "Could it be that the sun rises in the west today?"
Xiao Yan and Xiao Chen knew that this was not a sign of Uncle Xiao's family having a change of heart. They were just targeting the Sun family, trying to curry favor with them and prepare to adopt them in the future!
Looking at the dishes, Xiao Chen's eyes gradually darkened: "How can it be good intentions? It's just that the intentions are not good!"
Xiao Chen bluntly exposed their masks: "I told you before that they were not good people. They schemed against my family for our land. Now there's the Sun family too. Aren't they plotting against my family again?"
Shanshui was shocked: "What! They actually dare to come up with this idea?"
He stood up and said, "No, I'm going to tell Uncle San and ask him for help! How can we let them take advantage of your family? He's your uncle, and they're not human beings!"
Seeing Shanshui caring so much about his family, Xiao Chen was filled with gratitude, but he said, "Don't worry, Uncle Shui. I will find a way to deal with this matter."
Shanshui frowned: "You are just a child, how can you fight against an adult? You still have to tell Uncle San!"
Xiao Chen was worried that he would actually go to the village head. The main reason was that his family had caused too much trouble for the village head. It was hard to repay the favors owed, so how could he bother others with everything? Besides, if they didn't agree, could the uncle's family still force the matter?
You know what, Uncle Xiao really had this idea in mind.
They didn't know that their true identities had been seen through, and they were even less aware that Er Gou had already exposed their past.
In the evening, Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao came to the door with smug faces, more enthusiastic than usual.
"Is Brother Yan okay?" Uncle Xiao looked concerned. If someone who didn't know the truth saw him, they might really think he was a good elder who cared about his nephew.
Xiao Yan sat on a chair. After washing his hair with soap, his hair, slightly damp with moisture, fell loosely on his shoulders.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is stunningly beautiful.
When Aunt Xiao saw him like this, she immediately thought of Xiao Yan's mother.
She and Xiao's mother were from the same village. Ever since she was a little girl, outsiders always said that she was very good-looking and would definitely marry a master in town and enjoy a happy life in the future.
But what good was her beauty? Didn't she still end up marrying a peasant like Xiao Dagui? And with her own miserable fate, even her two sons had to suffer under her?
She was madly jealous of Xiao's mother. In order to suppress her, she ignored her parents' opposition and married Xiao Dashi, just to prove herself!
Seeing that Xiao Yan had the same outstanding appearance as Xiao's mother, Aunt Xiao seemed to have returned to the memory of being overshadowed by Xiao's mother. There was a bit of disgust in her eyes and her face showed it.
Xiao Yan met Aunt Xiao's eyes, his face full of hurt: "Aunt, if you didn't want to see your nephew, you wouldn't have to come and hurt your eyes. Why did you come and give your nephew a bad look?"
"I don't know how I've offended you, but you've been giving me such a bad temper time and again. Just now, you even had your cousin play a trick on me. They say family members don't hold grudges overnight. Aunt, please be kind and don't let us hurt each other."
Uncle Xiao: “???”
Uncle Xiao turned around and saw that Aunt Xiao's face was still full of malice, and anyone could tell she was filled with hatred at first sight.
Don't let a bitch who only causes trouble when doing things well be allowed to do things well!
Uncle Xiao tried to slap her, but Aunt Xiao had been beaten constantly these past few days and had developed a conditioned reflex to dodge, so Uncle Xiao's slap missed.
Because of inertia, he fell flat on his face.
Uncle Xiao was furious: "You still dare to hide!?"
Aunt Xiao didn't dare to refute, nor did she dare to go over and get beaten. She could only look at him hesitantly.
Uncle Xiao was about to lose his temper, but there was a piece of firewood lying where he fell, and his leg hurt so much that the veins on his forehead popped out.
He glared at Aunt Xiao: "Why don't you come and help me? What's the use of you!?"
Aunt Xiao walked over hesitantly, and then slapped her again. Before she could support herself, she fell directly onto Uncle Xiao's leg because of the force.
You have to know that after giving birth, Aunt Xiao gained weight rapidly and her waistline is twice as big as Uncle Xiao's!
With such a heavy weight pressing on Uncle Xiao's legs, he screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and Aunt Xiao was so frightened that she became a little flustered.
"Dad, are you okay?"
The more panicked Aunt Xiao was, the harder it was for her to find her footing. Sitting down made the situation even worse.
Uncle Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "You rough old woman, why don't you get up quickly? Are you planning to break my legs so you can find some wild man?"
Aunt Xiao had just gotten up and when she heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him in the face.
As mentioned before, she is obese and most people cannot withstand the force of this tonnage.
Isn't this right? A slap before knocking Uncle Xiao over, landing face first on the ground, leaving him dizzy and dazed.
Uncle Xiao never thought that his usually submissive wife would actually dare to attack him. He was stunned by the slap.
When he reacted, he felt that the world had turned upside down!
"You stinky bitch, you dare to hit me? I'm going to divorce you, you shrew!"
Aunt Xiao was also furious and slapped him again, this time hitting both cheeks exactly.
"Xiao Dashi, do you have any conscience? I married you when I was 28, gave birth to your children, and took care of your parents-in-law. How dare you divorce me?!"
Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Don't be angry, auntie, not only does my uncle want to divorce you, he also has someone else outside!"
Uncle Xiao was shocked and wondered how Xiao Chen knew this, but then he became confident.
So what if a man has someone else outside? If word gets out, others will envy him for his abilities!
When Aunt Xiao saw him like this, how could she not know that this was true? She immediately became furious and beat him up, making him scream.
"Damn it, you're such a slut with a crooked mouth and evil eyes, and you're trying to imitate others by having three wives and four concubines? I just said I've been feeling unwell lately, and you're saying it's my problem, but I think it's your problem!"
"You are just a kid with a broken finger. I'm afraid they are just trying to fool you. Why do you take it seriously?"
Xiao Yan, Xiao Chen, and the villagers who heard the news: "!!!"
Xiao Chen then interjected, "What Auntie said is true. Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Uncle, please don't dislike it."
"I once borrowed a handwritten note from Aunt Lihua. I'm afraid you won't be able to conceive a child, considering your complexion."
Aunt Lihua is Erzhu's mother, the aunt who treated Xiao Yan before. Her ancestor was a doctor, and her parents only had her as their daughter, and later they married a live-in son-in-law.
Before Uncle Xiao could get angry, he immediately asked, "Uncle, do you often feel soreness and weakness in your waist and knees, a hot body, fatigue, night sweats, and frequent dreams?"
How could Uncle Xiao dare to admit it? But the villagers nodded.
"Well, I've heard him say several times that he's feeling hot, and I thought it was just inflammation. But it turns out it's..."
This unfinished meaning is quite intriguing.
He looked at Aunt Lihua cleverly and said, "Erzhu's mother, do you think Dashi is what Chen'er said?"
