Chapter 222 Protected by Mother-in-law
Lu Xingluo's smile was almost unnatural: "Yes, yes... I've made a fortune!"
But he was more confused than surprised in his heart. You know, even if the owner of the house had dug a cellar in the house and hid some vegetables, they would not be so fresh.
He was curious for a moment and flicked his sleeves: "Aunt, let me go in and see where the cellar is."
"The auspicious time has arrived."
At this moment, the old woman suddenly yelled. She was one of the loudest quarrelers in the village, and her loud voice could make people jump in fear.
At the moment, everyone was still immersed in the joy of suddenly having fresh vegetables, but they were startled by the sudden roar: "..."
The whole audience was silent.
Only Zhu and Sun looked at each other, hating Zhang Xiu with gnashing teeth.
This silly woman, if she had known that the accident she was talking about meant that there was food in the cellar, she shouldn't have called the whole village.
No matter what, the Ding family's broken bones are connected with sticks. Even if it is for the children, can't they secretly take some and hide it first, even if it is just a few tomatoes!
So stupid, so foolish!
If you do everything for everyone, will everyone do the same for you?
Sun and Zhu were almost unable to hold back their curses. What the hell was this?
"What's the auspicious time?"
Finally someone in the village broke the silence.
Ding Xiaodie said quickly, "It's an auspicious time to set off for Wo County. Let's calculate the time before we go out for good luck. Uncles, aunts, grandparents, let's not delay any longer. Pack up everything and let's go!"
"Yes, yes, an auspicious time is important."
"What about these dishes?"
Lu Xingluo came back to his senses at this time and said, "The vegetables will be counted and then managed by the person in charge of food. Don't worry, let's go!"
"Let's go, let's go."
So, the villagers who had been as quiet as chickens started to act happily.
They walked out of the yard, picked up their bags, took the elderly and children with them, and joined the big team.
The depressed mood that I had originally thought of moving forward was swept away by the sight of those fresh and juicy vegetables, and everyone's face became full of energy.
It seems like there is hope again these days!
Looking at the team gradually moving forward, Ding Xiaodie breathed a sigh of relief.
The old woman beside her asked happily, "Xiao Die, how was your performance just now?"
"Great." Ding Xiaodie gave her a thumbs up.
She had anticipated that someone might mention the idea of going into the cellar, so she rehearsed with her grandmother long before those people came. Once she heard someone wanted to see the cellar, her grandmother would ignore everything and shout at the top of her lungs that the auspicious time had arrived.
The old woman was worried that no one would play games with her, so she yelled particularly seriously.
When he heard Ding Xiaodie praising him, he was confused: "Fat, what does that mean?"
Ding Xiaodie frowned: "..."
Seeing her mother and grandmother also joining the group on the road, Ding Xiaodie silently slowed down her pace and quietly walked into a small house on the side of the road.
There are so many people and chaos now that no one will notice who is missing from the team.
She looked through the window at the long line going further and further away, but the determination in her heart grew stronger and stronger. Mother, Grandma, wait, I will definitely bring Dad back.
…
After walking for a while, Zhang Xiu didn't see Xiaodie, so she knew that her daughter had returned to Yangliu Town, and she felt extremely sad.
Why do you think this family of three came here?
Is it just for this Aozigou, for the Lu family, and for the old woman?
But before Zhang Xiu could shed tears, her sisters-in-law Zhu and Sun came up to her from both sides.
The two chatted privately for a few minutes, and after thinking about it, they felt that Zhang Xiu would not be that stupid, and believed that she must be hiding something, so they came to ask.
"Did you discover the vegetable cellar at the Third Brother's house?"
"Tell me quickly, are you hiding something? It's okay, we are a family, there is nothing to be ashamed of, right?"
Zhu asked more subtly, but Sun was impatient and eager for quick success, so she didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
The two asked Zhang Xiu a question that was so shocking that she finally realized what was happening. "Sister-in-law, it was indeed me who discovered the vegetable cellar, and Xiaodie and I moved the vegetables out of it together. But we really didn't hide anything. Didn't the village chief repeatedly say that we're all in this together, and we should share any food we find? Besides, the Lu family is also ours to eat together, so what would it look like if I kept anything to myself?"
"What, you really didn't hide it?"
"Not a single tomato?"
Zhu and Sun looked at Zhang Xiu eagerly and shook their heads.
Her expression didn't seem deceptive.
The two men's faces immediately fell. "How can you be so stupid? There are so many dishes, and no one can see them. If you hide some, who will know?"
"That's right, if you don't think about yourself, you should also consider the children, right? You are really stupid."
Thinking about the fresh vegetables they had dreamed of, Sun and Zhu completely forgot that if no one found out, they wouldn't be able to eat a single vegetable.
You and I actually started cursing at each other.
But just after they had cursed for a few words, they suddenly found that the old woman sitting on the wheelbarrow came towards them with a crutch, cursing: "I told you not to curse my daughter-in-law again, I told you not to curse my daughter-in-law again."
"Oh no! Someone got hit!"
Sun and Zhu hurriedly hid to the side, but they were filled with hatred in their hearts.
Isn’t this old woman stupid?
She even knew to help Zhang Xiu vent her anger, what? Zhang Xiu is her daughter-in-law, isn't that right for them?
In short, they didn't get any benefits and almost got beaten. The two had no choice but to go back to their families angrily, and they started complaining again when they met.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiucai patiently pressed down the old woman's waving arms and coaxed her, "Mom, don't argue with them. Getting angry is bad for your health."
In fact, Zhang Xiu was surprised and happy, and even had mixed feelings. The mother-in-law she met in her previous life was not kind to her, and she thought that the one she met in this life would be another weirdo. She didn't expect that the old woman would suddenly help her today.
The feeling of being protected by my mother-in-law is still quite touching!
At the same time, Ding Xiaodie was getting closer and closer to Yangliu Town.
She had water and food along the way, and a big tomato in her pocket. She walked into the woods alone, as long as she followed the right path. This way she could use the trees to block the sunlight and avoid exposing herself.
Ding Xiaodie took two hours to walk the ten kilometers.
With her thin arms and legs, she almost fainted from the heatstroke.
There was nothing she could do. No matter how strong she was inside, she couldn't resist the physical weakness brought about by her thin body.
As the gate of Yangliu Town got closer, Ding Xiaodie loosened the bun on the back of her head, drank a few sips of water, pinched her face to make it look a little more red, and then walked out with confidence.
