Chapter 25: Using the Trick to Replace Someone



The village party secretary saw that the old lady's face was a little blue, and he couldn't help but step forward and touch the kang: "Auntie, what's wrong with you..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression became even uglier: "Why is the kang so cold?"

In such a cold winter, people can only survive by sleeping on a warm kang.

If you don’t have enough to eat and then suffer from the cold, even young people can’t survive, let alone the elderly.

If you are careless, you will end up freezing to death.

Lu Huanying did not respond to this. She was an elderly person with poor mobility, so why was the kang cold? Others would know it without her saying it.

At this time, not only was the village party secretary furious, even Kong Xingbai looked at the Shi family in disbelief.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become awkward, Yang Dahua cleverly stepped forward and said, "Mom, why don't you say something? Why is the kang so cold? Did you forget to add some firewood? Look, we always take good care of you, don't we?"

She wants to get compensation back to the big house!

The words implied that the old lady admitted her mistake.

Otherwise, don't expect them to take care of you in the future.

Lu Huanying turned her head away in anger: "God is watching what we do."

But Yang Dahua was so anxious that she could only grit her teeth and was about to say something else...

"Alright, the old lady is right. God is watching what we do. You, Old Third Shi, keep saying that people beat you up and even kicked the door in. How could you not get beaten? Besides, you know why you kicked the door, don't you?"

The village party secretary couldn't stand it anymore and started to scold everyone, so he shut everyone up.

He turned around and scolded again, "Brother Shi De, think about it with your conscience. How has the old lady treated you all these years? You, as a son-in-law, don't prepare more firewood for the old lady in the middle of winter, and you can't even control your own son's misbehavior."

"I'm telling you, the person Zhentang cares about most is the old lady. If anything happens to her, I wonder how you're going to handle it later."

"And Shi Lao San, if you want to steal the wild boar meat that Miss Yuzhu picked up from the mountains, don't even think about it. Taking someone else's property without their consent is robbery, and it's illegal."

"Ah, but...we are a family."

Despite being scolded by the village party secretary, Shi Weiqiang still couldn't understand why he couldn't take some meat.

"Even if we're a family, it's not allowed. The meat was picked up by Tian Yuzhu, and she has the right to distribute it." Kong Xingbai glanced at the other party with dissatisfaction.

This time, everyone in the Shi family was depressed.

Especially Shi De, he felt that he had no place to put his old face.

He is about the same age as the village party secretary, but his awareness is far less than his. At this moment, he really wants to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Looking up, he saw Yang Dahua looking like she was about to continue arguing, so he quickly stopped her and said, "Stop talking. It's definitely the Third Brother who did something wrong."

"Don't tell me who's right or wrong. I'm asking you what to do with the third brother's leg. He's injured like this now. Who's going to pay for his medical treatment?"

Yang Dahua was unwilling to be outdone, and when it came to money, she wouldn't give in even a little.

"That's what he deserves."

Lu Huanying got off the kang in anger.

Normally, she seldom walks to the village office because of her poor mobility. Today, the village party secretary happened to be there, and he occupied the small room.

It would be better to just tell her what physiognomy came into her mind.

"Secretary, as the old saying goes, it's hard for an honest official to handle family affairs. As for this little matter in our Shi family, I think it will continue even after you leave. I'm thinking, why not put an end to it today? They just want meat, right?"

"Okay, I'll give you ten kilograms."

Yang Dahua and Shi Weiqiang glared at the old lady angrily, while Shi Xiaoli hid to the side with her mouth tightly covered.

When we heard that we would be given ten kilograms of meat, it felt like the sun was rising from the west, and everyone's eyes lit up!

Even the village party secretary and Kong Xingbai couldn't help but want to persuade the old man.

For children and grandchildren like these, even a handful of pig hair would be too much.

Unexpectedly, Lu Huanying put down her hand and said, "I'm old and don't want to argue with them every day. Giving them meat can shut them up, but I also have conditions."

Yang Dahua's voice was a little distorted with excitement: "What conditions?"

Lu Huanying didn't even bother looking at her, and said lightly: "First, Shi De, you have to fix my door."

"Mom, don't worry, this is what I should do." Shi De felt his old face burning.

"Secondly, we need to borrow Su Zhen's labor force for this period of time until Zhen Tang returns for the New Year."

Borrow Su Zhen?

Everyone looked at each other.

I don’t know what the old lady is up to.

But there is one thing that Yang Dahua has already made up her mind about.

There is not much work to do in the village in winter. Su Zhen, a laborer, can do nothing except cooking. She stays in the house all day long and is actually of no use except wasting food.

If it can really be "borrowed", then the big house will definitely make a profit.

"Mom, does Su Zhen also eat in your cabin?"

Yang Dahua's cleverness is written all over her face.

Lu Huanying sneered contemptuously: "Don't worry, during this period, not only will she eat in our hut, but the two children can also eat in our hut."

"real?"

Does this mean we can save three portions of food?

Yang Dahua was so excited that the flesh on her cheeks trembled. When she noticed the dissatisfied look from the village party secretary, she quickly calmed down.

"Su Zhen, are you willing?" Lu Huanying then looked behind the crowd.

In fact, the old lady knew everything clearly.

Although my eldest grandson's wife Su Zhen is timid, she is dexterous and good at doing housework.

It would be good if she could teach Yuzhu something during this period, even if it was just teaching her how to cook a few home-cooked dishes or some common daily survival skills.
