Chapter 213 Heart
The words were full of doubt and confusion, as if they were an accusation against the village.
Hu Ping's expression turned unhappy, and his brows knitted tightly. "What do you mean by that? Do you think our village is poor? The country has so many villages that need support, so it won't be our turn so soon. Besides, what does this have to do with you?"
His tone was a little agitated and he clearly felt insulted.
"Come with me. When I make money, you'll definitely get a share. Little girl, don't be so materialistic, okay?"
Hu Ping tried to ease the atmosphere, with a pleading tone, but he still couldn't hide his inner dissatisfaction.
"Are you done vomiting? If you are, we should leave."
Hu Ping's voice became impatient again. He was no longer willing to endure this kind of waiting.
After saying this, Hu Ping handed the gift he bought to Zheng Lulu, who frowned and asked, "What is this for me?"
Zheng Lulu's voice was full of confusion, and she obviously didn't understand Hu Ping's intention.
"You should always bring something thoughtful to your parents when you meet them for the first time. Do you really want them to see that you didn't prepare anything? People will say that I obeyed you just to please you, and I would be so embarrassed."
Hu Ping explained, his tone filled with both helplessness and resentment.
At this moment, Zheng Lulu felt nauseous, and the nauseous feeling made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She tried hard not to get angry and just looked at Hu Ping coldly, her eyes full of disgust.
How hypocritical.
Why are these two stinky men so disgusting?
Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zheng Lulu's eyes.
However, she had already come to this village which was completely unfamiliar to her, and her heart was full of worries - what should she do if Hu Ping really left her here?
With no other options, Zheng Lulu had to take those things, but her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
Following Hu Ping, we continued forward. The road leading to Qiaojia Village was covered with mud.
Before long, her clean white shoes were covered with stains.
When they finally stepped into the village, a pungent smell of pig manure immediately hit them in the face.
Before she could react, Zheng Lulu vomited because of the stench.
"vomit--"
She quickly ran to the shade of a tree nearby, held onto the trunk with both hands, and desperately vomited out all the breakfast she had just eaten.
Hu Ping, who was eager to go home to see his parents, turned around and saw this scene, with disgust written all over his face.
"Zheng Lulu, how long are you going to vomit?"
he asked impatiently.
"Can't you smell it yourself? This smell is enough to kill a person!"
Zheng Lulu covered her mouth and gasped, and asked angrily, "Does every household in your village raise pigs? How can there be such a strong smell..."
Hu Ping was reminded of something by Zheng Lulu's words, and he looked towards the entrance of the village.
Back then, this habit gradually developed because many families raised a large number of pigs.
As for Qiao Jin's uncle, Qiao Fulai, he is a well-known leader in the village.
Because his sister died and his brother was joining the army in another place, there was no one at home to take care of the young children, so they had to be raised temporarily by their uncles and aunts.
If not for this, with their family's meager income, they would probably have ignored anything about Qiao Jin long ago.
The family is already so poor that even eating is a problem, how can we add another mouth to increase the burden?
Qiao Jin lived with her uncle. In order to increase the family income, Qiao Fulai bought a lot of piglets from the neighboring village.
He built a spacious pigpen on the vacant land at home and began to devote himself to the pig farming craze.
This action soon attracted the attention of other villagers.
After seeing that Qiao Fulai's family could make more money raising pigs than growing vegetables, the villagers followed suit.
People have discovered that not only can they make money from selling pigs, but even the pig's internal organs, skins, and other parts that are usually discarded can also be sold or used as ingredients at home, killing two birds with one stone.
However, the good times did not last long. Recently, a mysterious infectious disease broke out in the village, causing many pigs to become infected and die. Many villagers who had originally hoped to improve their lives by raising pigs suffered huge economic losses.
Especially those families who have deep feelings for the old sows they have raised for a long time, they really can't bear to watch these old friends become seriously ill and die, so some people decided to go to the veterinary station in the town at their own expense to buy special medicines for this disease and come back to try to give injections to the sick piglets, hoping to save their lives and allow the sows to continue to give birth to more offspring.
Because everyone was busy taking care of livestock and looking for solutions, they had no extra time to take care of their own homes and the environmental sanitation of the entire village. Over time, the unbearable stench spread to every corner.
For people who have lived in Qiaojia Village for a long time, they may have already become accustomed to this kind of air and do not feel anything unusual at all.
However, Zheng Lulu, who came here for the first time, was completely unable to adapt to such an environment. She was almost driven crazy by the unpleasant smell.
Hu Ping, who was accompanying her, couldn't help showing a disgusted expression when he saw this, and then he spat heavily on the ground: "Every household has this situation now, what's so strange about it? Why are you acting so delicate? Is it because your family is well-off that you have such a reaction? If so, you wouldn't have ended up being adopted. Oh, don't dwell on these issues anymore, let's go home quickly, I have to find someone to help me pick some wild Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains."
Zheng Lulu stood leaning against the tree trunk and watched all this happen.
Although she was full of resistance and reluctance, the reality was before her and she had no choice but to follow Hu Ping step by step into the depths of the village.
As soon as they stepped into the village, they saw many villagers busy slaughtering pigs in front of their homes.
The waves of shrill screams came one after another, echoing in the air for a long time. In addition, the ground was stained red with blood, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air, making the whole scene look extremely bloody.
Seeing the familiar figure returning home, the adults and children in the village gathered around to greet him and made a few jokes: "A Ping, you have been out for so long, have you finally remembered to go home? Oh, this time you even brought back a beautiful girl!"
However, when everyone saw that the girl who was brought back was not only outstanding in appearance, they began to speculate and laugh secretly.
They thought that yet another naive girl might be deceived by this smooth-talking young man.
Speaking of family situation, the Hu family is one of the poorest families in the whole village. But even under such bad circumstances, they still raised a handsome, sweet-talking young man like Hu Ping.
He has indeed attracted the hearts of many girls with his own conditions.
