147: Aunt in the County Town
They waited until Yu Xiaoye finished eating two pieces of candy. Finally, the two of them could no longer curse. They were both exhausted, panting and with dry mouths. Sai Jinhua then left after saying something harsh.
When Xu Ying saw Sai Jinhua leaving, he put his hands on his hips and ran after her, shouting in a hoarse voice:
"You're in the wrong, right? You can't win the argument with me, so you ran away because I scolded you. Come on, come and argue again, why are you running away!"
Sai Jinhua also turned back and cursed:
"Talking to a bitch like you is like talking to a cow!"
Xu Ying felt that he had won the argument, and turned back to the house triumphantly. "Damn it! He took a leave of absence and came to my door to argue with me. How unreasonable!"
Yu Xiaoye, who was curled up on a small stool with his arms around his knees, said: I swear, their quarrel has nothing to do with me, not at all!
I can only say that women's hearts are really fickle.
It was obvious that these two old best friends who were good friends some time ago started fighting for no apparent reason today.
Who would believe it?
Xu Ying won the argument and went back to the house to drink half a bucket of water out of thirst. Perhaps because he hadn't argued with anyone for a long time, his skills were a little rusty. After the argument, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't recover for a while.
After calming down for a while, Xu Ying felt a little regretful. Oh, he had lost his voice in an argument and offended someone. What was the point?
Boring!
That afternoon, the mother and daughter did not go out and stayed at home peacefully.
Xu Ying continued to tinker with the wild vegetables she had picked. She went to the nearby wild fields with some friends and got to know some new varieties that she had not recognized before. She picked some and brought them back to try in the evening. If they tasted good, she would pick more another day.
While Xu Ying was tinkering with wild vegetables, Yu Xiaoye returned to the yacht to fish in preparation for going to the black market.
The car is now borrowed and we can set off at any time.
As she worked, she was calculating in her mind.
In the afternoon, Yu Jiahui came back from work.
When he entered the house, he was surprised to find that his wife's voice was hoarse and his daughter's face was swollen. The old man instantly imagined a scene where a villain broke into the house and bullied the little girl, and the old woman knelt beside him crying and begging for mercy.
Fuck!!!
Yu Jiahui was so frightened that his legs went weak and he hurriedly asked what happened at home.
The mother and daughter were not in a hurry, and their faces were embarrassed:
"Mom, tell me."
"You should tell me."
The mother and daughter began to shirk responsibility, both feeling too embarrassed to tell the truth.
Under Yu Jiahui's anxious questioning, Yu Xiaoye finally told her about how she learned to ride a bicycle with Jia Song, and how she got her face hurt when she fell while riding a bicycle.
Her mother's voice was hoarse from arguing with Sai Jinhua.
After hearing this, Yu Jiahui's face wrinkled into an awkward expression. After a long pause, he uttered four words faintly:
"What a sudden disaster..."
Yu Jiahui didn't want to make any comments on this matter. He could only cover his liver silently and hold back from saying anything.
He suddenly thought of the urban beauty named Xu Ying who lived in the 21st century, his gentle and beautiful wife, and then quietly mourned her departure in his heart. Then, he silently (was forced to) accept the old lady Xu who had a hoarse voice from quarreling with others in the 1970s.
It cannot be said that that Xu Ying and this Xu Ying have no relationship, it can only be said that they have nothing to do with each other.
In the evening, Xu Ying cooked some wild vegetables that she had picked during the day, one of which was called prickly ash sprouts, which she used to scramble eggs.
Another dish is called monkey legs, which are stir-fried.
Then there is a handful of small garlic cloves for dipping in soybean paste.
The three wild vegetables each have their own flavor, and they are all surprisingly delicious.
I also made a serving of fried soybeans with shrimp paste, which Yu Jiahui likes. I soaked the dried soybeans in advance, boiled them for a while, and then fried them with the shrimp paste.
A large plate of it can last for many days.
It is a bit too extravagant to always use eggs to fry shrimp paste. Their current financial situation does not allow it, so they use soybeans instead.
After dinner, Yu Xiaoye formally told her parents that she wanted to go to the black market on the edge of the county town tomorrow.
Also, she told her parents about a fabricated story about her having relatives in the county town, in order to collude with them in advance so that they would not be exposed later.
Therefore, their family now has relatives in the local area. Yu Xiaoye has an aunt in the county town, and Xu Ying has an older sister in the county town.
Yu Xiaoye realized belatedly that the relatives he had fabricated on the spur of the moment were not only reasonable and logical, but also extremely convenient.
From now on, whenever I want to go to the county town, I can say that I am going to visit my aunt’s house in the county town. This is at least a legitimate reason, instead of just hanging out without any purpose.
Moreover, if there are things that are inconvenient to take out at home in the future, we can say that they were given by the aunt, and say that the aunt's family is financially better off and is taking care of their poor relatives.
There wouldn't be anyone so jealous as to go to the county town to track down her aunt, right?
——If someone is really bored, then just deal with it.
Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying praised the idea highly and thought it would be more convenient to have relatives in the county town, so they both agreed.
However, the old couple were still very worried about their daughter going to the black market.
Xu Ying insisted on going with them.
Yu Xiaoye said no, she could handle it herself.
Yu Xiaoye knew a lot about the black market, and she was also aware of the risks involved.
Even if there is any emergency at that time, she still has space to hide.
The old couple was still worried.
Although my daughter has a space to hide, what if a bad-hearted person comes and smothers her? Wouldn’t that be the end of her?
How can I return to the space if I feel dizzy?
Wouldn't you be at the mercy of others then?
As for letting Xu Ying accompany his daughter to the black market, Yu Jiahui was even more worried!
With Old Lady Xu's current temper, she is like a flying monkey, she explodes at the slightest provocation and loves to watch the fun. Going there will only cause more trouble. She might not be able to help and become a burden. Then it is very likely that both mother and daughter will be slaughtered together. That would be a complete annihilation.
Yu Jiahui insisted on going with them.
Yu Xiaoye insisted and shook his head, asking the old couple to stay at home and try to keep the house the same as before. Those who should go to work should go to work, and those who should go to pick wild vegetables should go to pick wild vegetables.
If she was lucky, maybe no one except Jia Song would know that she had been away from home these two days.
Although they could make up a reason that they had relatives in the county, it was fabricated after all, so they tried not to mention it and kept a low profile.
So the best way is for her to go to the county town alone, and the old couple stay at home to cover her.
Yu Xiaoye persuaded the old couple for a long time and finally convinced them to let Yu Xiaoye go out alone.
That night, Yu Xiaoye packed up some things and took out some food from the space to feed the old couple.
The bedding in the bedroom on the yacht also had to be taken out the next morning because she wouldn't be back the next night. The old couple had to sleep in the small mud house at night. There were no quilts in the small mud house yet, so they could only temporarily borrow the quilts from the yacht.
Build it at night, clean it up and hide it during the day to prevent it from being seen.
Yu Xiaoye arranged everything before going to bed.
