Afterwards, Mai Xiangdong applied some medicine to the four people.
Mai Xiangnan and Mai Laosan stayed at their eldest brother Mai Xiangdong's house for dinner.
Mai Xiangdong also asked his eldest daughter-in-law Guo Hongmei to go to Mai Xiangnan's house to report the news.
Just say that Mai Xiangnan will not go back for dinner, and send the two buns he got in exchange for being beaten to Yang Huizhen.
As a junior, Guo Hongmei did not want to gossip about her elders, so when she delivered the buns, she did not mention the beating of her second uncle Mai Xiangnan.
Anyway, when my second uncle comes home in the evening, my second aunt will naturally know.
Yang Huizhen was confused and when she learned that the buns were given by Mai Sui, she praised Mai Sui in front of Guo Hongmei.
Guo Hongmei replied with an awkward expression: "Second Aunt, I'll go back to eat first. Mom and the others are still waiting for me."
"Okay, thank you for the trip, go back now."
Mai Dongxue, Yang Huizhen's youngest daughter, saw the buns and immediately reached out to take them, but was stopped by Yang Huizhen.
"Don't fight over them. There are only two buns. Share them."
After saying that, Yang Huizhen began to distribute the buns.
Mai Dongxue is usually sweet-talker and, as she is the youngest, Yang Huizhen likes her the most.
First, I gave her half.
The second is the third daughter, Mai Qiu Shui, who is the twin sister of Mai Dongxue.
She also got half a bun.
The eldest daughter, Mai Chunni, is 20 years old this year. She is usually the most honest person, hardworking and good at housework.
Yang Huizhen also gave her half a bun.
She and her second daughter Mai Xiahe each took half of the remaining half, which was a quarter of a bun.
Mai Xiahe was not convinced when she saw that her sisters all had half a bun, so she immediately shouted:
"Mom, you are biased, why are my buns so small?"
"Why are you yelling? I won't eat it anymore. I'll give it all to you? Humph! Eat it if you want, or forget it if you don't want!"
Yang Huizhen would not tolerate her and yelled back at her immediately.
Seeing this, Mai Chunni took the initiative to share half of her buns with her second sister, and only then did Mai Xiahe eat obediently.
Yang Huizhen saw all of this but said nothing, as if she had already gotten used to it.
......
Mai Xiangdong's family.
Everyone was talking while eating, and the topic was naturally wheat ears.
Tian Guifen was worried: "Old Third, we can't let Mai Sui go on like this. We have to think of a solution."
Mai Lao San had a sad face: "I originally asked for an exorcism talisman for her at the Taihuang Temple, and I kowtowed 999 times to get it, but I ended up eating it... Alas..."
"How about you go and beg again? You can't do the work anyway. There are so many people in our village who are good at double-guns. It doesn't matter if you are missing one."
As soon as Tian Guifen finished speaking, Mai Xiangdong rejected her idea: "No!
The third brother's family asks for leave every day, and everyone in the village is dissatisfied with me. Even if I go, I have to wait until the double harvest is over.
It’s only a few days left anyway, so just hold on a little longer, third brother!
I don't think Mai Sui's problem occurs every day. He was fine yesterday.
"Old Third, did you do something today to irritate her?"
Mai Lao San lied solemnly: "No, I worked honestly all day and got eight work points. What could I do to provoke her?"
Compared with the previous five or six work points, eight work points is indeed a lot of effort.
Mai Xiangdong was very satisfied with his brother's performance.
That's human nature.
If someone who has been sloppy all year round suddenly becomes serious for once, everyone will think he has become a better person.
People like Mai Xiangnan, who earns ten work points every day, are not as impressive as Mai Laosan, who earns eight work points.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Mai Juncai suddenly said:
"I don't think Mai Sui has a mental illness. I think her thinking is quite clear, but it hurts a little when she hits people."
Mai Lao San immediately put on the look of an old scholar and lectured his nephew:
"Juncai, you don't understand this. There is a disease that can cause a person's temperament to change drastically. When the disease occurs, the person becomes very calm and looks like nothing has happened.
But he is actually crazy inside and might even kill someone.
Isn’t there a farm near Taihuang Temple where many university professors are imprisoned?
I happen to know an expert in this area, and I asked him about it when I went to Taihuang Temple last time."
"Third brother, you are getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to go to a place like a farm!" Mai Xiangdong glared at him.
Mai Lao San shrugged nonchalantly: "I have a good family background, eight generations of poor peasants, and my background is very clean. Why should I be afraid to go?
Don't worry, no one saw me. I slipped in quietly."
"Don't do that next time!"
"What about the wheat ear situation?"
Mai Lao San sighed and said, "This is why I have to go to the black market to make money. I have to save money to take Mai Sui to a big hospital in the provincial capital."
Don’t be fooled by Mai Lao San’s righteous and high-sounding words, but this is only one of his purposes.
More importantly, it is driven by huge profits.
Even if Mai Sui is not sick, Mai Lao San will still do black market business.
What's more, now that they have connected with Lao Ding, it is even more impossible for Mai Lao San to let go.
He said this on purpose to prevent Mai Xiangdong and others from stopping him.
Although he won't listen, it would be annoying if his elder brother kept nagging in his ear.
Let’s just think of a way to solve this problem once and for all.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Mai Xiangdong stopped trying to persuade him and only reminded him to be careful.
He also took the initiative to ask him how much money he needed. Even if he, as the eldest brother, didn't have it, the fourth brother would definitely be able to lend some.
Mai Lao San refused outright: "No, this disease may require a hole in the head. In addition to the initial surgery fee, there are also subsequent maintenance fees.
This is not a small amount of money. I can’t survive long-term just by borrowing. I need a way to make money in the long run.”
Upon hearing this, Mai Xiangdong couldn't help but become worried.
Because no one can guarantee that they can always catch prey.
Not to mention that there are many dangers in the mountains. If you fail to catch the prey and lose your life, it would be a waste of time.
Even though Mai Sui looks pretty damn powerful now, she is just a little girl after all, and Mai Xiangdong and others are still very worried.
Mai Lao San: "I know, don't worry, everything has to be done step by step, don't rush it, I will see to it."
When Mai Laosan returned home after eating and drinking, Mai Sui was lying in the yard looking at the stars, while Mai Hongcai was washing clothes.
Mai Laosan was still a little upset about his son's behavior of complaining. He walked over and snorted coldly, almost knocking over the basin of water that Mai Hongcai was holding.
Mai Hongcai originally felt a little regretful about filing a complaint, but after seeing this, that little bit of guilt immediately disappeared.
He immediately shouted in the direction of Mai Sui: "Sister, Dad kicked your clothes."
Mai Sui glanced over coldly: "Mai Lao San, you are still not honest, right?"
Mai Lao San was so frightened that he shuddered and said immediately, "No, no, it was dark and I couldn't see clearly.
By the way, is it my turn to do the laundry today? Hongcai, why didn’t you remind me?
Come on, put it down and let me wash it!"
After saying that, Mai Laosan snatched the clothes from Mai Hongcai's hands and started washing them diligently.
Only then did Mai Sui turn around and continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Seeing this, Mai Laosan breathed a sigh of relief.
Mai Hongcai ran into the kitchen happily.
Then he cut a plate of sweet potatoes, stuck them with bamboo sticks he had peeled himself, and respectfully placed them in front of Mai Sui.
"Sister, I cut it all according to your request. Take a look, is that right?"
"Well, not bad, Hongcai, I think you have a bright future.
Don’t worry, I won’t treat you unfairly and will definitely let you live a good life in the future.
Come, let’s eat together.”
So, the brother and sister each lay on a bamboo chair, looking at the stars, eating fruits, leisurely and comfortable.
The old father with a bruised face and nose was squatting in a corner of the yard, washing clothes with great effort.
Mai Lao San: ...
Oh my God!
Open your eyes and take a look!
These two unfilial descendants make me so mad!
