Chapter 47: Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers
After I told my family about this, no one raised any questions and they all agreed with a smile on their faces.
Under Wu Yuetang's influence, the whole family accepted the second son of the Ye family. Their own daughter had no objection to having another freeloader, so why should they have any objection?
Then Wu Yuetang took out the rain canvas, and the three brothers were busy setting up a tent for Ye Jingchen. In this way, the Wu family had four tents, and Wu Zhiyun and Ye Jingchen lived in the newly built shed.
Li also took a thinner quilt and handed it to Ye Jingchen.
"Fortunately, the weather is still quite hot. You can just make do with this bed and quilt."
Ye Jingchen took it and looked at the quilt in his hand. This feeling was really familiar.
The Wu family is having a great time, but the atmosphere in the Wu family in Maiduo Village is not so good.
Because they set out a day late, the teams from Maiduo Village and Huaishu Village were unable to reach the mountain before dark, so they found a place to rest at the foot of the mountain.
The entire team was rushing on the road all day, not even stopping to rest at noon, but no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't catch up with the main force.
At this moment, Wu Houfu and Liu were sitting on the rocks, taking off their tattered cloth shoes. Looking at the blisters on the soles of their feet, Liu started cursing again.
"Oh, just looking at the wound on my foot, I think of how unfilial my eldest brother's family is. They have such a nice carriage, but they don't even care about us two elders. It's really a waste of money to support them. They are a bunch of ungrateful wolves. I wish they would be eaten by wild beasts if they spend the night in the mountains!"
Wu Houfu became unhappy when he heard the old woman's scolding.
"Didn't you say last time that you had a way to deal with Wu Yuetang? Why haven't you done anything yet?"
"I've handed the matter over to Aunt Sun. I guess Liuwan Village hasn't yet merged with Dayao Village. Aunt Sun also has a grudge against that girl, so this matter will definitely be accomplished. Humph, by then, let's see how her reputation will be ruined and how she can still be so arrogant! Ouch, why do my feet hurt so much?"
Wu Shouyi and Wu Qingtian were lying on the haystack like upside-down turtles, too lazy to move.
Daughter-in-law Liu endured the pain in her legs and walked towards Liu.
"Mom, what are we eating tonight? We haven't eaten lunch yet, and I'm so hungry."
"What to eat? What's the matter? You still expect an old woman like me to cook dinner for you? If you want to eat, cook it yourself. What's the point of marrying you?"
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she had no place to vent it. Just then, Mrs. Liu came over and took out all her anger on her.
"Okay, then mother, give us some food and we'll make it."
Liu was too lazy to argue with Liu, so she just lowered her head and asked her mother-in-law for food.
Liu rummaged through the cloth bag she was carrying for a long time and took out two handfuls of brown rice and a handful of wild vegetables.
"That's all, go cook."
After saying this, Liu leaned over and lay down to rest.
Liu took the food and quietly returned to her husband and son, started the stove and prepared to cook.
However, there was not much water left in the family's water bags. Looking around, they didn't see any place to get water, so they simply emptied the water in the two water bags, patted the wild vegetables clean, tore them into pieces, and put them into the pot to cook together.
This pot of brown rice porridge was mixed with unwashed wild vegetables, and it looked extremely turbid. There were even specks of dust floating on the surface of the rice soup.
As soon as Liu finished her mouthful of liquid, she started to spit it out repeatedly.
"Pfft, pfft, what the hell are you making? Pig food?"
As she spoke, Liu took out a wild vegetable from the bowl and clearly saw that there was still some dirt on the root of the vegetable, which made her even angrier.
"You are such a good person, Liu! Are you trying to kill us? You cooked the food for us without even washing it? Are you worried that your father and I won't die quickly enough?"
As he said that, he picked up the cloth shoes he had taken off and hit Liu. Liu didn't react until she was hit hard in the face by the big shoe board and then she screamed in surprise.
"Mom! Why are you hitting me? There's no water nearby. How are you going to wash the vegetables? They're just dirt. Eating them won't kill you!"
Seeing Liu talking back, Mrs. Liu became even angrier!
"No water? How did you cook porridge without water? Did you use the water in the water bag to cook porridge?!"
Liu looked at the two empty water bags on her son's side, and she almost fainted from lack of breath!
Wu Shouyi naturally couldn't sleep anymore after hearing such a loud noise. He got up and helped Liu sit down.
"Mom, why are you so angry? We have five or six water bags. It's okay if two are empty. We still have three or four left, right?"
Wu Houfu had a gloomy face and began to check everyone's water bags. Finally, he said seriously.
"Let's drink less water on the way back. We still have three water bags, and each is only half full. If we can make it to the snowy mountains, we can boil some snow water to drink."
When Liu heard this, she felt even more upset. She had calmed down a bit, but now she was being held down by her son. Her legs were still flapping in the air, and every kick she made was aimed at Liu with all her might.
Liu dodged again and again. Although she did not resist on the surface, she was already dissatisfied in her heart.
"Why did you have to make such a fuss with the old family? If the family hadn't been divided, wouldn't we be able to enjoy the good life together now?"
Liu muttered softly as she moved towards her son Wu Qingtian.
The other villagers in Maiduo Village all looked at the Wu family with a look of good intentions, and they felt happy to see them suffering.
The old Wu family, relying on the fact that they have a educated grandson, often bullies others in the village and even forced Boss Wu to separate from them. Now that Boss Wu's family is living a good life, they actually blame this family for not caring about them.
Of course, the villagers just watched for fun and no one cared at all, just treating it as entertainment before bed.
In this way, everyone woke up to the sounds of insects and birds. The early morning sun was still dazzling. When Wu Yuetang crawled out of the tent, Ye Jingchen had already started to build the firewood and start the fire.
Wu Yuetang blinked her eyes. She hadn't planned to cook in the morning.
"You're up so early?"
"Well, do you want to cook? The fire is lit."
Ye Jingchen hurried over. In Wu Yuetang's eyes, he looked like a Doberman wagging its tail. Was he trying to take credit?
"I wasn't planning on cooking, but forget it, the fire's already lit, let's just eat something."
Wu Yuetang crawled into the tent and entered the space with his consciousness. He spent fifty points to exchange for a whole bag of dragon beard noodles in the space mall, and then took some bok choy and eggs from the farmland warehouse. He filled the water bag with water and walked out.
He asked Ye Jingchen to set up the stove, start frying eggs and boiling cabbage, and wait until the water boils before putting the dragon beard noodles in the pot and cooking them.
This breakfast was prepared unusually quickly, perhaps because Ye Jingchen was helping out?
After all the family members came out of the tent, bowl after bowl of fragrant dragon beard noodles came out of the pot. Wu Yuetang also dripped a few drops of sesame oil on each bowl of noodles. As the heat evaporated, the aroma was so fragrant that it was almost tormenting.
Wu Zhiyun was the happiest. On the first day Ye Jingchen came, he didn't have to get up early to work and could even sleep in comfortably.
Maybe it would be a good idea to keep this freeloader.
No one knew what Wu Zhiyun was thinking, they only knew that he ate his breakfast very happily this morning.
