Chapter 254 Strange, why are they here?
Lei Daman angrily said to the crowd waiting for an explanation: "You don't know how bad Du Cao Da is. He broke his leg when he got up at night, and it was Pinggu who took care of him.
Now Pinggu has a broken arm and a head injury, but he still wants Pinggu to get up and serve him! He wants a drink of water, but the cup is on the stool beside the bed, and he won’t take it. He has to ask Pinggu to pass it to him before he can drink.
Shen Qing: .....Not only does he not have the emperor’s life, but he also has the emperor’s disease.
Once you marry a wife, you treat her like a servant.
Is this marrying a wife or buying a servant?
"Does he think he's the emperor?" Granny Qin smacked her lips and said in disbelief.
The old woman has lived to this age and has seen many arrogant men, but it is rare to see one who is so domineering!
The men who went with them started talking at once: "The implication is that Pinggu is not innocent anymore and they despise her to the extreme."
"I guess he's just looking for an excuse to oppress others and make women serve him more humbly. Humph, we're all men, so who doesn't understand his thoughts?"
"Didn't Cao Da say that? He had several worthless daughters, so he wanted to find a new wife to give him more sons."
"What is he thinking? If his wife runs away or dies, how can he, a servant, marry another wife?"
Shen Qing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Could it be that Cao Da hasn't given up and is still thinking about her Xiaoyu?
Feng Meng cursed under his breath, then looked up and said, "That old lady Cao always has a gloomy face. Whenever she opens her mouth, she's either complaining or blaming. It's simply not a life for a human being!"
Life in Qili Village was not easy in the past, but compared to the Cao family, at least it was comfortable.
He felt uncomfortable from the moment he entered the Cao family. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to get through a single day!
But if it were him, he couldn't let those people have an easy life even if he didn't. Every one of them must die!
Everyone frowned as they listened. Ma Pandi sighed and said sadly, "Pinggu will definitely struggle to get up and serve Cao Da."
She and Pinggu had dug wild vegetables together several times, and after chatting, she found out that they were very similar in their childhood. Since they were born as girls, their parents did not like them. They were beaten, scolded, and forced to work and go hungry. Later, they were sold.
The difference is that she was sold to the Cao family as a servant, and when she reached a certain age, the master decided to marry her off to a servant, regardless of whether he liked it or not;
She was sold to a hunter's family in the mountains. Fortunately, she met a good husband. If his family was as bad as Cao Da's, she would have to endure it for the sake of her children and her life.
"No, Pinggu hasn't gotten up!" Feng Meng said first.
"Is he seriously injured and unable to get up?" Fang Ting asked.
Jiang Dabo carefully recalled Pinggu's expression, shook his head and said in surprise: "No, I don't think so;
Not only did she not get up, she even closed her eyes, as if she hadn't heard Cao Da's words at all;
Cao was furious and lost his temper again, but I saw that her face was fearless and calm.
The others were also very surprised, especially Fang Ting and Ma Pandi.
After a while, Ma Pandi murmured, "Alright, this is fine."
Did Shen Qing think that this was a disaster, and he had let it go? Or did he see Cao Da's selfish and disgusting face clearly and wanted to resist?
Alas, in this dynasty, it is very difficult, especially for servants, to rebel against the head of the family.
However, it is not easy to muster up such courage. She can't help in any other way. She will go back and hand-make two pills for her.
One portion of painkiller and one portion of anti-inflammatory medicine, just like the last time when Boss Zhao had a head injury and a fever, they were broken apart, mixed with flour and sesame powder, and rolled into small pills;
Let Pinggu suffer less pain and recover faster - Cao Da injured his leg and couldn't move, she recovered quickly, Cao Da would have a hard time in her hands~
When we agreed not to go to the city before summer, the men were not there. Now they are back, and the others have been informed one by one.
I originally thought that the men of the Lei family would be worried about the prey and leather, and might be willing to give it a try without fear of danger. Unexpectedly, they nodded calmly and had no objections.
Liu Cuihua touched Shen Qing's arm and said with a smile: "I'll tell you, don't worry."
In the past, the game they hunted had to be sold for silver. The Lei family had no land, so they relied entirely on the silver from the game to buy food, cloth, coarse salt, and the like. It could be said that the game was related to the survival of the whole family, so they had to take the risk to sell it no matter how dangerous it was.
But now that they have the income from selling medicinal herbs, they have enough food, cloth, vegetables, coarse salt, etc., and there are still dozens of taels of silver left in the family. In addition, the skins of prey will be sold to Shen Qing in the future. Even if the meat cannot be sold, the family can still afford to eat it!
Shen Qing was not worried that the Lei family would have to sell their prey, she was only worried that the Lei family would not have enough prey to sell.
After all, the dozen or so households in their village were fine. They had made a lot of smoked meat and bacon from the meat they had stockpiled a few times before, and with the various poultry and livestock they raised, self-sufficiency was not a problem. However, everyone in the village had savings now, and while they had enough to eat, they would naturally want to eat well, so wouldn't they buy some game to satisfy their hunger?
But the Cao family is different. In the past, they could go to the city to buy meat, but now they can neither go nor stock up. Food, vegetables, and meat are all in short supply. There is no way to get the first two, but they can go to the Lei family for meat.
With so many families wanting to buy it, how can we not rely on snatching?
Just as she was about to speak, she saw three figures hurriedly coming down the mountain road.
Cao Junzhu has a slender figure and wears a royal blue gown. His fair face looks anxious.
Following behind him were Cao Wenzhu and Cao Qingzhu, both wearing beige and green gowns.
"Strange, why are Cao Junzhu and the others here?" Liu Cuihua muttered.
Everyone in the village looked at Cao Junzhu and the other two who were jogging towards them in a hurry.
Cao Junzhu ran all the way to the front of the crowd, took a look around, and was most familiar with the Lei family. He bowed and said, "Brother Dafu, I'm really sorry for delaying your shopping today. When can you go again?
My grandma asked me to join you and offer you a glass of wine as a token of gratitude."
The men in the village were used to being carefree. Although they had just complained about Mrs. Cao, they suddenly felt embarrassed when facing the well-mannered and polite Cao Junzhu.
Cao Qingzhu thought of his favorite pork and said, "My grandma is grateful to you, but you can't just rush in and eat it without having tasted it before. Don't delay the shopping!"
Many men: .....They are not in a hurry to drink.
Why did you drink so much?
Seeing the men's unhappy expressions, Cao Wenzhu tried to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright. I'm sure they won't drink without restraint. Let's arrange a date to go to the city to do some shopping."
Cao Qingzhu said without question: "What are we discussing? Let's go tomorrow before it rains or snows!"
He was still waiting to eat meat, and there was not enough food at home.
I wasn't in a hurry before, but after Pinggu was robbed and injured, I didn't know how chaotic the situation would be and how long it would last. Of course, I bought them back while the villagers were in the city.
Many men: ...Who are you? Did they say they were going to the city?!
