Chapter 122 Both Aunts Are Not Human
These two women have such narrow vision that they even dare to accuse Xiaodie of doing something wrong. Zhang Xiu was so speechless that he wanted to curse.
Ding Xiaodie's face was filled with confusion. "Aunt, second aunt, do you mean we should go up the mountain and dig cassava without telling the villagers?"
"Yes, that's what we mean."
"Think about it, Xiaodie. If the Ding family dig the food ourselves, we can eat it for a longer time. But if everyone in the village goes together to dig it, think about how many people will share it. How long will it last? I'm afraid it will be gone in one meal!"
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but say, "Sisters-in-law, the village is facing its most difficult time right now. If we are so selfish and take the lead, how can we unite in the future?"
After hearing this, Zhu rolled her eyes. "You're stupid, don't you understand? Xiaodie saw the cassava, so it belongs to Old Ding's family. What's the point of not telling them? Look at the people in the village now. Which family is rushing to find food? Every family in the village eats as little as they can get. They're all just living off the food and waiting to die."
Yang said indignantly, "That's right. If they can think of a way, they can go up the mountain and dig. Why do they need us, the Ding family, to tell them how to dig?"
Yo!
After so many years of being at odds with each other, they are now so proactive in planning to make the third family one of theirs.
This is really the case of whoever gives you milk is your mother!
Ding Xiaodie pretended not to understand at all: "But my parents didn't teach me to be a good person like this, Auntie, luckily it wasn't you who found those cassavas. If you did, I'm afraid our family wouldn't have any share, right?"
Zhu and Yang were stunned for a moment.
Uh, this damn girl!
If it was really the cassava they found, they certainly wouldn't tell his third brother's family. But how could they say that now? Instead, they smiled after being stunned for a moment.
"How can you talk like that, girl? We are a family!"
"That's right, since we're a family, it's only natural for us to support each other when we have difficulties. Why wouldn't I tell your third family?"
Zhang Xiu pulled Xiaodie over anxiously, "Sisters-in-law, the village chief keeps telling us to unite. I think you should stop having these messed-up ideas, or you might lead the children astray. Xiaodie, let's go!"
"Yeah!"
Ding Xiaodie followed closely behind her mother. She had long since stopped wanting to talk to these two selfish people. She just wanted to play with them for fun since she had nothing to do.
It was precisely because of Zhu and Sun that she became more certain of her actions just now. If the cassava matter was not properly organized and brought up the mountain, no one was allowed to touch it.
Seeing the mother and daughter leave like this, Zhu and Sun spat in anger.
"What the hell, it's already this late and you're still telling me how to behave?"
"that is."
After Sun blurted out these two words, she was stared at by Zhu, who then looked at her with contempt. That was all, she was nothing at the critical moment.
Zhu turned around and left without bothering to pay attention.
"Sister-in-law."
Sun quickly chased after him: "Sister-in-law, listen to me, why don't we sneak up the mountain? I don't believe we can't find it on our own."
"Go up the mountain? Are you crazy? Can you guarantee that there are no desert soldiers in the mountain? With just the two of us, we won't be afraid of not coming back."
"But……"
"Okay, now that Ding Xiaodie won't speak, it's no use going up the mountain and searching everywhere. Wait..."
Halfway through her words, Zhu suddenly remembered something very important.
broken!
She thought it was all over.
She didn't say anything, but her face changed and she turned and left.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Sun was still waiting for her to continue, but she suddenly left. Zhu walked forward and waved her hand: "I have to go back and apply medicine to your brother."
"Apply medicine?"
Sun frowned in confusion. Didn't they say that Big Brother's injuries weren't serious? What kind of medicine was that?
…
Zhu hurried back to the small courtyard allocated to their family. Originally, Ding Rong lived in the room where the injured were staying. Later, he was not seriously injured, so he moved back to live with his wife and children.
However, in order to eat the village's hard-earned food for a few days, he would pretend to be unable to get out of bed even if he was not sick.
However, his son Ding Shan was indeed injured. One of his arms was torn and was now wrapped in a clean cloth. He lay in bed all day and refused to go out.
Anyway, the village distributes food every day, so they don’t have to worry and can just take their time to raise them.
Zhu pushed the door open and went in. The father and son were still snoring.
Life is so comfortable!
"Wake up, where is Ding Xue?" Zhu quickly woke them up and asked.
The day before yesterday, the whole family discussed a plan to drive Ding Gui's family of three out of Yangliu Town. The most direct way was to throw the old woman away first. Ding Xue fully agreed to this matter at the time.
So Zhu once told her to act according to the circumstances.
Just now, she and Yang went to look for Zhang Xiu and her daughter. That was because of this, no one was taking care of the old woman at that time. What if Ding Xue thought this was an opportunity?
It wasn't that Mrs. Zhu changed her mind and didn't want to abandon the old woman, but because she hadn't yet gotten the location of Cassava from Ding Xiaodie, so she couldn't let the three of them leave.
When Ding Rong woke up, his head was buzzing. He was sleeping soundly.
"Axue?" He looked around in confusion but saw nothing. It seemed that his daughter was not in the room.
Seeing him like this, Zhu walked up to him angrily and twisted his arm: "How can you be a father? All you do all day is sleep and eat, eat and sleep. Don't you think about your daughter?"
Ding Rong was baffled by the scolding: "...What are you crazy about?"
Ding Shan rubbed his eyes and said nothing. It was normal for his parents to quarrel. He just needed to stay out of it.
Zhu said, "Do you remember what we discussed the day before yesterday? I'm worried that Xue will really take the old woman out and throw her away."
"That's great, that's exactly what we planned." Ding Rong almost laughed out loud.
"You don't understand. Ding Xiaodie found a field of cassava. If she leaves the village without telling us, we'll lose a chance to find food."
Just then, Ding Xue came back from outside.
She was sweating profusely, but she had an unconcealable smile on her face. When she saw me, she said, "Dad, Mom, it's done!"
"Where did you throw her?" Zhu hurried forward and coaxed her daughter in a gentle voice. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she had walked quite far.
Ding Xue said, "I took her to the city gate and showed her the way, and the old woman walked out of the city on her own."
"Aren't there guards at the city gate?" Ding Rong couldn't help but interrupt. He was in a complicated mood. He wanted to throw the old woman away, but after hearing that she was thrown away, he felt a little guilty.
But then he heard Ding Xue say, "Since the earthquake, half of the city gate has collapsed, so the village chief said there's no need to guard it anymore!"
Because of this, she was able to take advantage of the opportunity and easily sent the old woman out of the city gate.
