Chapter 38: Mei Xue shows off her power
By the time Grandma He got up, Meixue's peppers had been washed and were drying them.
"How come you are so quick? Why don't you wait for grandma to help you wash them?" Seeing the peppers drying in the yard, Grandma He felt that their lives were as prosperous as her own now.
"It's not much. Grandma, you just got up. Don't work yet. Go drink some water. I boiled some mung bean water in the kitchen. You can drink some." After Mei Xue dried the last bit, she walked towards her grandma.
"Okay, you drink some too."
The grandmother and granddaughter quickly entered the kitchen.
The next day, Mei Xue and Grandma He chopped the peppers at home and put them in a jar.
These peppers can be eaten until the New Year, and a lot of salt is used.
"Xiaoxue, there is no salt at home. I'm going to buy some salt. Do you want to come with me?" Grandma He straightened her waist, which was a little sore.
Mei Xue shook her head, "No, grandma, you go and play for a while. I'll rest at home." There was nothing to do in the fields today, so there was no need to go out.
"Okay, then, you take a nap. Grandma will go buy some salt. It's next to your uncle Zhengsong's house. If you have any problems, just find me there. Grandma will be there." Grandma He instructed with a worried look on her face.
"I got it. Grandma, you can go now." After saying that, Mei Xue gave her grandma ten yuan.
Grandma He didn't bother to be polite with Mei Xue, since Xiao Xue was the housekeeper now.
After her grandmother left, Mei Xue wanted to clean up the back of the house. She found that there could be one or two rooms cleared out, where she could catch the chicks and raise them.
I told grandma to take a break, but it was a little hard for her to actually stop.
As time passed, the people pulling the electric light finally reached the end of their village.
That day, when Mei Xue woke up, she found a lot of people gathered by the stream. With her sharp eyes, she soon saw a carriage loaded with bundles of rolled thread.
Black.
"Grandma, grandma." Mei Xue got up a little late today, mainly because something changed in her space yesterday, which she couldn't ignore, so she stayed in the space for some time.
I didn't really fall asleep until the second half of the night.
Mei Xue, who was used to going to bed early and getting up early, was unable to get up for a while.
I called out several times but no one answered me at home. I thought my grandma had also gone home.
Mei Xue was also a little excited, but she was more concerned about her hungry stomach.
Running into the kitchen, Mei Xue saw the breakfast left on the table and finished it in no time.
After washing the dishes, she immediately ran to the stream.
As soon as I got closer, I heard my grandmother's voice, as if she was arguing about something.
Mei Xue smiled and pushed away the person in front of her, and walked to her grandmother, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Mei Xue asked, supporting her angry grandmother.
When Grandma He heard Mei Xue's voice, she felt a little aggrieved and looked at Xiao Xue with red eyes, "Xiao Xue, they are bullying people."
As if she had found a backer, Grandma He couldn't help but tell Xiaoxue what had just happened.
The matter was simple. A few people in Group 4 saw the benefits of installing electric lights and thought that the wires were free, so they wanted more.
But the workers who were installing the lights didn't get enough wire, so it was not convenient for them to go back and get more. Even if they wanted to, they still had to pay.
Because of Grandma He's leadership, those people saved the thread that Grandma He wanted.
Now, apart from the wires installed in every household, there is really nothing left.
As soon as Grandma He saw the car coming in, she was already waiting here, chatting and laughing with the workers who were installing the wires.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the Chen family from Group 4 came over and said that their house had not been installed yet.
The worker also had a bad temper. When he went to install it yesterday, he clearly asked if they wanted to install a few more rooms, but they said no.
Now there are not enough lines and you want to install it again. Who would not have the temper?
In addition, the end of the village has not been installed yet, so of course we have to finish installing it here, and then install it for them if there is any left.
But the old lady from the Chen family in Group 4 was not someone to be trifled with. When she saw there were still several bundles of thread on the carriage, she immediately refused to do anything.
I've been wasting the whole morning here and haven't gotten anything done.
When Old Mrs. Chen found out that it was Grandma He's clue, she cursed harshly.
If the wire installer hadn't been a grown man, I'm afraid he would have been ruined by this old lady Chen.
After hearing her grandmother say that she had accompanied the entire process, Mei Xue looked cold and said, "These lines were ordered by our family. Do you have any objections?" Mei Xue curled her lips when she saw the person standing behind old lady Chen.
Haha, what an acquaintance! Isn’t this Aunt Chen?
"Also, you slandered my grandma, you have to apologize to my grandma, otherwise this matter will not be over." Mei Xue, like Grandma He, is a protective person.
Grandma is mad at people, and this matter will never end.
"Oh, you little brat, you have no right to speak here. And, I'm not wrong, if your grandma wasn't having an affair with them, why would these people leave so many connections for your family? You really don't think the country's money is worth anything, do you?"
The old lady is also a sharp-tongued person.
On weekdays, only Grandma He can compete with her.
And now Grandma He is like this, it is obvious that she has lost the momentum.
Mei Xue is a ruthless character. She would definitely not resort to force when she can take action. It would be strange if she didn't take action after hearing this.
She pulled her grandmother behind her, and when she saw Aunt Ting and the others, she gently pushed her grandmother to Aunt Ting's side.
Then he walked up and slapped old lady Chen in the face. The sound of "slap" echoed throughout the sky above Group 5.
"If you dare to say that again, I'll slap you. Also, I paid for these wires. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the village chief. My family agreed to pull the wires from the beginning and paid fifty yuan to the village chief."
Mei Xue had her reasons and evidence. She beat the person because the woman slandered her grandmother. Such a person deserved to be beaten.
A lot of people from Group 4 also came. After Old Lady Chen was beaten, she was immediately supported by the people behind her and did not fall to the ground.
Mei Xue had to control her strength, otherwise, if she slapped the old lady, the old lady would have to go to the hospital.
Don't tell her to respect the old and love the young. Isn't her grandmother an old lady? I haven't seen anyone respect her.
"You stupid girl, how dare you hit me." Old Mrs. Chen came back to her senses from the pain.
He rushed towards Mei Xue like a madman, "I will beat you to death, you nemesis of my father and mother, I will beat you to death, you shameless thing."
"I let you hit me, I let you hit me."
What a pity! Is Mei Xue the kind of person who would just stand there and let others beat him?
Seeing the old lady coming forward, she took a step back slowly, "Haha, it seems like you really deserve a beating."
Mei Xue stretched out her leg and kicked the old lady again before she could get close.
This time it was a bit heavy, kicking the person directly onto the stone road, and his body must be covered with bruises.
"I can't beat anyone but you. If you have the guts, keep shouting. I'll see if I can't beat you, old woman, to death." Mei Xue said slowly.
Please give me a recommendation vote!!!
