Chapter 47 Chen Juxiang brought disgrace upon herself (1)
Chen Juxiang and Li Cuier coaxed Guicai to go to the big house, while they went to the village committee.
It was the autumn harvest season. During the day, everyone in the village went to the fields to harvest and did not return home until dark... Everyone was exhausted!
At this time, most families had already eaten dinner and were preparing to pack up and go to bed early, because the production team had a strict rule - they had to get up at five o'clock every morning to gather and go to work.
Chen Juxiang stood in the small square at the entrance of the village committee, took a deep breath, and howled loudly -
"Murder! Help!"
The village committee square is the most central place in the village, surrounded by more than a dozen villagers' homes, and behind it is the courtyard of the Youth Educated Station...
Almost as soon as Chen Juxiang screamed, someone in the distance shouted, "What happened? Who killed someone?"
People in the distance and nearby opened their courtyard doors and walked towards this side in their clothes.
Chen Juxiang began her performance, "Damn Bai Zhenggan! He instigated his daughter-in-law and his silly daughter... to destroy my family's valuables! Folks, come and give us some justice!"
As she said that, she kicked Li Cui'er hard: Cry, shout, and make a fuss for me!
Li Cui'er reacted, took out a handkerchief to cover her face, and burst into tears, "Oh my precious treasure... you are so young! You are... finished..."
Chen Juxiang was almost pissed off by Li Cui'er, so she cursed in a low voice: "Guicai is not dead yet, why are you crying?"
Li Cui'er was stunned, cleared her throat twice, and started to howl again, "Damn Tan Fenghui! Damn Bai Taotao...they ruined my family's wealth..."
But for a moment, she was too embarrassed to say anything about the little thing, so she just glossed over it, "Oh, this is terrible! We can't live like this anymore, help me..."
As a result, a few villagers who were originally preparing to come over to watch the fun were shocked when they heard Chen Juxiang and Li Cuier call out the names of Bai Zhenggan, Tan Fenghui and Bai Taotao?
Everyone cursed:
"What bad luck! Met these two unlucky people! Let's go!"
"Dongsheng's wife has to take care of the baby, Taozi is so skinny that there is not much flesh left, but your Guicai is as fat as a cow. How can they bully you Guicai? I'm afraid your Guicai bullied her sister-in-law, and now you are here to blame her, right?"
"Don't associate with this kind of person. If she sets her sights on you, you never know when she'll come and blackmail you! Go away, go away!"
"We all trust Zhenggan's sister-in-law and her family, but you are the one who scams people all day long to extort money..."
"Everyone, don't come over here. Go back and rest early... Aren't you tired after harvesting the millet all day?"
Just like that, the crowd dispersed spontaneously before it even gathered.
Chen Juxiang and Li Cui'er were dumbfounded.
Chen Juxiang didn't believe it and continued to shout, "Hey! Are you just watching the village cadres bully people? Bai Zhenggan is bullying people by taking advantage of his power! The people in his house beat our Guicai, and we asked him for compensation. What's wrong? Village chief! Fourth uncle! Seventh grandmother! Come out... Come out and give us justice!"
No one paid any attention to her.
Chen Juxiang was stunned. She started shouting frantically, "Help! Murder! Murder! Murder! Murder!"
As a result, she kept shouting until her throat was dry and hoarse, but no one paid any attention to her?
Li Cui'er squatted aside and whispered: "Why don't we go back? It's so embarrassing..."
Chen Juxiang glared at Li Cui'er fiercely and said angrily, "They don't want to come out? They don't want to take care of my business? No way! I'll go find them!"
Then he ran to the village chief's house angrily and banged on the door, "Village chief, come out! I want to ask you, if Bai Zheng killed someone, do you care? Do you care?"
The village chief's yard was quiet and no one spoke.
The village chief's mother, however, spoke up in the courtyard with a stern voice, "Which mad dog is barking outside? Erwa, throw some junk out there to scare the dog!"
"Choo--Pah!"
Something fell from the sky and landed right at the feet of Chen Juxiang and Li Cui'er, making a sound of liquid hitting the ground...
Along with it came a...particularly unpleasant smell?
The village chief's mother asked, "Erwa, what did you throw out?"
A childish voice rang out, "Grandpa, my little brother pooped, I tore off a leaf to wrap up his poop and threw it out..."
The village chief’s mother was furious. “You threw the shit out? Doesn’t that mean… your father and your brothers will step on shit when they go out tomorrow? I’ll beat you to death, you little bastard!”
Suddenly, the yard became lively. Some were advising their mother, some were scolding their son, some were laughing, and some were crying. But no one paid any attention to Chen Juxiang who was desperately knocking on the door.
Chen Juxiang was so angry that she stepped on the shit and turned away.
She went to look for other village cadres and clan elders, but no one was willing to pay attention to her.
Chen Juxiang was so angry that her eyes went dark——
She took two deep breaths, covered her chest, and fell down softly.
Li Cui'er was startled, "Mom? Mom, are you okay..."
==
But Guicai slowly moved to the gate of the Dafang family's courtyard. He wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't dare.
He could vaguely hear the laughter of his uncle, aunt, cousins, and their babyish voices...
Although I couldn't hear clearly what they said, I could tell that my uncle and aunt's tone was doting and somewhat scolding, as if they were helpless with all the children in the room. My cousin's wife's voice was very gentle, as if she was trying to persuade and comfort her? My cousins’ laughter is so sweet that it makes people smile. And Hongdou, her voice is loud and clear!
Thanks to Hongdou who was talking, Guicai finally understood what the eldest family was talking about - they were talking about raising fish in the rice fields or something? Then, from "Why can we only raise fish and not shrimps and crabs?" to "Won't they escape?", and then to "Auntie, besides braising, stewing, and steaming, what other ways can we cook fish?"...
The courtyard of the big house was filled with laughter.
Guicai was stunned.
His mind was a little confused.
——Chen Juxiang just came to cause trouble, why didn’t the first wife’s family take it seriously, and instead were discussing raising fish and shrimps, stewing soup and braising vegetables?
In the eyes of the eldest wife, does she look down upon Chen Juxiang and the fourth wife?
But in the eyes of his grandmother Chen Juxiang and his mother Li Cuier, there is only the first wife.
They kept saying that if the main house had not been divided out, there would be someone to cook, collect firewood, wash clothes and fetch water! If the main house hadn't been divided out yet, I wouldn't have to be so tired every day! Why are we eating wild vegetable porridge again today? If the eldest house hadn't been divided up yet, even if it was just wild vegetable porridge, it would be better than this pig food...
In addition, Chen Juxiang and Li Cuier also calculated the income of the eldest wife every day - today Tang Liren and Bai Lili went to work, Tang Liren was counted as 8 work points, Bai Lili only 7 work points, Taotao was in charge of the library and was counted as 2 work points a day, and Taotao and Xingxing also had to cut grass for pigs every day, the two of them together could earn 5 work points a day...
There is also Song Zhi’s work points, but I don’t know how Song Zhi gave them to Dafang... If you calculate it this way, Dafang can earn at least 20 work points a day!
But at the ancestral home, the third and fourth brothers work, each earning 10 work points a day, and Chen Juxiang can earn 5 work points a day. Adding them together, they can earn 25 work points a day?
It seems that the income from the ancestral home is better than that from the main house.
But Guicai knew that Chen Juxiang and Li Cuier calculated the eldest wife's income every day for only one reason - they were jealous of the eldest wife. It seems that the eldest wife's life is better than that of the ancestral home?
It has only been half a year since the separation, but Hongdou and Huangdou have grown taller; the three cousins are no longer the pale, thin and malnourished look they used to be. They are plumper, with fair skin and a healthy pink on their cheeks. Their dry hair has become smooth and beautiful... Even my aunt, Tang Liren, who works in the fields every day, has a much whiter skin, brighter eyes, and the nasolabial lines at the corners of her mouth seem to have faded.
If they weren't rich, well-fed and well-fed, how could they have changed so drastically in such a short period of time?
I don't know what Hongdou said, there was a lot of chatter, and then everyone in the big room burst into laughter again.
Guicai couldn't help but think of Hongdou again.
Hongdou has always been brave. She has a cheerful, lively and generous personality. There is no one in the village who doesn't like her.
Although Guicai and Hongdou are uncle and nephew, one is eight years old and the other is six years old. There is a big difference in their body shapes, but their ages are actually not that different. Guicai sometimes thinks that grandma always says he is a golden grandson with a penis, and Hongdou is a money-loser...
But why do the villagers like Hongdou and hate him?
At this moment Guicai suddenly understood.
——Hongdou dares to speak and act, and never thinks that she is a money-loser, nor does she think that she is worse than him, the grandson with a penis... It is because of her family that gives her the courage!
The uncle and aunt of the first wife both love girls very much.
Then, why do my uncle and aunt love girls so much?
To be honest, Guicai doesn't think there's anything good about having a penis. His eldest brother Fugui'er and second brother Fugui'er are also male. One is seventeen and the other fifteen years old. They are the rare fat men in the village, but what's the use? They don't work and just wait for food and clothes to be provided for them every day.
Guicai, on the other hand, was the youngest and was often ordered around by his family to do chores...
Guicai is very cunning. The White Pearl in the third room is the best example! Bai Zhenzhu followed her third uncle to work in the fields at a young age and worked hard to support the family, but how did the third wife treat her?
Guicai will never suffer such a loss!
So whenever Guicai was ordered by his family to do work, he would refuse to do it, and even imitated his brothers and cursed at his grandmother and mother.
Compared with his two bad-tempered and lazy brothers, his mother who is sarcastic, takes advantage of others and always blames her parents for everything, and his grandmother with a fickle temper; and then looking at the sisters in the eldest wife's family who are competing to do the work... Guicai still longs to have a family like the eldest wife's.
It was late at night and the cold was penetrating into my bones.
Guicai unconsciously gathered his clothes and knocked on the gate with a smug look on his face, "Uncle! Auntie... please be kind and open the door for me!"
The laughter in the yard paused.
In the main room, Bai Zhenggan asked doubtfully, "I seem to hear Guicai's voice? Let's go and have a look, wife."
Tang Liren responded and was about to stand up——
Xing Xing held Tang Liren down and said, "Mom, you are exhausted today. Go take a hot bath. I will go outside to watch."
As she spoke, Xing Xing hurried out of the main room, picked up the bolt leaning beside her, and opened the gate.
She saw Guicai standing at the bottom of the steps.
Guicai said pitifully, "Fifth sister, I, I haven't had dinner yet... Give it to Stutter!"
Xing Xing raised her eyebrows, "My family owes you? You and your mother and your grandmother are in cahoots with each other. You just came to our house to extort money, and now you have the nerve to beg for food? How can you be so shameless! Get out! If you don't get out, I'll break your legs!"
Having said that, Xing Xing prepared to close the door.
Guicai wanted to try harder, "Fifth sister, listen to me——"
"Bang!"
Xing Xing closed the door.
Guicai suffered a setback.
Tang Liren raised her voice and asked, "Who is it?"
Xing Xing said with a smile: "No one! My dad heard wrong! Humph, how could anyone want to come to our house at this time? If someone really dares to come and eat and drink for free, I will beat him to death!"
Tang Liren frowned, "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing!"
Taotao and Xingxing went to boil some hot water and asked a few strong laborers to take a hot bath, and then the whole family went to rest.
No one paid any attention to the valuables outside the door.
Guicai wants to leave——
But somehow, when he thought about returning to that dirty, messy home, he felt very upset, so he thought it would be better to stay outside the yard of the big house, at least to listen to their laughter...
As a result, he didn't even know how he fell asleep!
The eldest family got up early in the morning before dawn.
Taotao went to the kitchen to make potato flour, Lili went to the back of the kitchen to wash clothes, and Xingxing swept the yard with a big broom. After sweeping the yard, she carried the broom and wanted to sweep the path outside the yard.
As soon as the door opened, someone rolled in!
Xingxing was startled and looked carefully - was it Guicai?
"Why are you still here?" Xing Xing said with a frown.
Guicai rolled on the ground and was still unconscious. Normally he would sleep until about ten in the morning every day. He subconsciously rubbed the back of his head which was hurt from the fall, crossed his arms over his chest, and fell asleep again, even snoring a little?
Xing Xing slapped him with a broom and cursed, "I'm giving you a chance, right? I just told you yesterday that if you dare to step into my house, I'll beat you to death! Do you think I'm kidding you?"
As he was talking, a few brooms were slapped down, and Guicai was awakened by the pain. He cried out, jumped up and looked around, and felt strange, "...why am I here?"
Xing Xing continued to beat people with the broom, "Get out of here!"
Guicai escaped from the yard.
Xingxing was so angry that she chased him out and chased him all the way to the intersection, then she came back angrily. Holding his breath, he swept the path in two or three strokes. As soon as he entered the yard, he threw the broom away and cursed, "What bad luck!"
Tang Liren came out from the inner room and asked her, "What are you doing? Why are you so crazy so early in the morning?"
Xing Xing: ...
Taotao shouted in the kitchen, "Xingzi! Xingzi, come here!"
Xing Xing turned and ran into the kitchen, "What are you doing?"
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Hongdou and Huangdou sitting aside. The brother and sister were peeling the meat off the bones - Huangdou used chopsticks to hold the bones down to keep them fixed on the plate, while Hongdou held the chopsticks in one hand and a spoon in the other, constantly peeling the meat off the bones.
Tao Tao was standing in front of the stove in a flowered apron. She picked up a noodle from the pot with chopsticks in one hand and held it with the other hand. She told Xing Xing, "Open your mouth quickly and help me test whether the potato noodles are cooked and whether they have enough salt!"
Xing Xing was sizzling from being burned. After tasting it, she nodded seriously, "It's cooked, delicious!"
Taotao was quite happy.
Because this was her first time trying to make potato flour, and it turned out to be so delicious!
"Go to the vegetable garden and help me break off some vegetable leaves, pick some green onions, and wash them for me!" Taotao said.
Xingxing responded and turned to go to the vegetable garden.
Huang Dou licked his lips and whispered, "Auntie! Try it!"
Tao Tao smiled and said, "You have to tell me everything so I can understand."
Huang Dou was so anxious that his face turned red. "Fourth...Aunt! Let me...try!"
Taotao certainly wouldn't really embarrass Huangdou, so she smiled and fed each of Hongdou and Huangdou a stick of potato flour, and asked again, "Is it delicious?"
The little brother and sister nodded vigorously, their eyes sparkling.
Soon, Xingxing brought the washed vegetable leaves and green onions. Taotao tore the vegetable leaves into pieces and threw them into the pot, then chopped the shallots into small pieces and threw them into the pot as well.
A big pot of fragrant pork shank bone soup and potato noodles is ready.
Taotao and Xingxing worked together to move the big soup pot down from the stove, and then put a tin pot on the stove to boil water so that they could fill the kettle at home, so that the family could drink hot water whenever they wanted.
On the other side, Red Bean and Yellow Bean had already removed the meat from the bones.
There was actually a full plate.
Taotao brought over some shrimp chili sauce. The boneless meat, which had been stewed to the point of melting, tasted best when dipped in the chili sauce!
By this time Song Zhi had finished washing up, and the whole family sat together in the main room and began to eat breakfast.
The fragrant and delicious pork bone soup, paired with the soft, refreshing and slightly chewy potato noodles...it's so delicious!
Tang Liren sighed, "Raising a daughter is great! Every time Taotao goes to the city, she learns a lot of skills. For example, potatoes, how could we have known that we could add flour to make potato noodles like this? When the weather is cold, eating a bowl of hot noodles with soup is really refreshing!"
Bai Zhenggan said, "The potato noodles are delicious, but they also need this bone soup to enhance the flavor! With broth, how can it not be delicious!"
Tao Tao interrupted, "You don't know, I stewed this bone last night, but when I opened the lid of the pot in the morning, I was shocked to see a thick layer of lard floating on the soup! I broke it all up and put it in the pig pot. It turns out that bones can have so much fat?"
Tang Liren, "Pig intestines also have a lot of oil, but that oil... doesn't taste good!"
Xing Xing, "I think pork shank bones are much tastier than pig intestines. Let's buy more pork shank bones in the future!"
The whole family chatted and laughed, and finished a big pot of bone and potato noodle soup.
Tang Liren, Bai Lili and Song Zhi prepared to go out to work.
Bai Zhenggan called Huang Dou over and asked his grandson to put on his shoes.
Tang Liren asked him, "Where are you going out too?"
Bai Zhenggan said, "I'll go to the village committee to take a look."
——Since Chen Juxiang and Li Cuier left yesterday, everything has been calm. But given the character of these two troublemakers, they won't stop until they have made a big fuss.
Instead of letting them cause trouble at home, it is better to go to the village committee.
Tang Liren: "Then I'll go with you!"
Bai Zhenggan, "Go to work! Harvesting grain is a big deal, and you and I are both village cadres, so you have to take the lead. Besides, Chen is causing trouble, and your identity as a stepdaughter-in-law is even more embarrassing than mine. If you go, it will have a counterproductive effect... I'm fine, I have Taozi, Xingzi and Hui'er on my side, and several elders in the village are on my side... I'm really fine, you can leave now!"
Tang Liren instructed Taotao and Xingxing, "If anything happens, one of you can call me and tell me!"
The daughters agreed.
Tang Liren was ready to leave first with Bai Lili and Song Zhi.
However, as soon as the three of them walked out of the yard, they saw... Guicai?
Guicai tried to run in a panic, but his left foot stepped on his right foot and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Your wealth?" Tang Liren frowned.
Guicai got up again and greeted Tang Liren and her group in a coy manner, "Good morning, Auntie... Good morning, Third Sister, Good morning, Brother Song Zhi... Good morning."
"What are you doing here?" Tang Liren asked.
Guicai hadn't eaten dinner yesterday, nor breakfast today, and was already starving. He waited in front of the main courtyard door early in the morning, listening to them talking and laughing inside, and smelling the rich aroma of pork bone soup...
He couldn't stand up anymore and said humbly, "Aunt, please give me something to eat. I'm so hungry that I'm going to do something else."
Tang Liren was angry when she thought of what happened last night. Chen Juxiang and Li Cuier would definitely cause trouble today, which made her even more upset. She couldn't get a good attitude. "You have no food to eat, so you go to other people's houses to beg? Is your mother dead?"
Guicai: ...
Taotao leaned against the gate and stuck her head out to take a look.
Song Zhi said to Tang Liren, "Aunt, you and Third Sister go first. I want to talk to Guicai."
Tang Liren, "Don't get too close to them... Anyone who has spoken to them for a few more words will end up getting scammed and blackmailed by them!"
Song Zhi, "You guys go first."
Tang Liren sighed and left with Lili.
Song Zhi called Guicai aside. No one knew what he said to Guicai. Guicai nodded, and his expression actually looked a little sad?
Song Zhi then raised his voice and said, "Taotao, go get a roasted sweet potato."
——Because they were afraid that the strong laborers would be hungry when they went to work, the sisters would put a few sweet potatoes next to the stove when they cooked every morning. By the time the meal was ready, the sweet potatoes were also baked. When the strong laborers go to work, each of them will bring a roasted sweet potato with them.
Roasted sweet potatoes are sweet and can be used as a snack while being filling.
There are children like red beans and yellow beans at home, and the sisters-in-law also like to eat snacks, so the sisters often bake a few more and put them at home, and whoever is greedy or hungry can eat a little...
Taotao leaned against the door and looked at Song Zhi with disapproval.
But seeing Song Zhi was very persistent...
Taotao had no choice but to pout and run to the kitchen to get a roasted sweet potato.
Song Zhi took it and handed it to Guicai, "I lent this to you, you have to return it to me later."
Guicai was almost going crazy with hunger. Looking at the fragrant and steaming hot roasted sweet potatoes, his eyes lit up and he nodded randomly. He grabbed the red roasted sweet potato and stuffed it directly into his mouth... He was reluctant to even peel the skin? !
Taotao was frightened by his ferocious eating style.
Song Zhi said to her softly, "Go back to your room... It looks like the weather is going to change today, so put on more clothes. I'll take Guicai to work."
Taotao opened her eyes wide: You’re taking him to work?
She looked at Guicai again.
——Guicai ate two roasted sweet potatoes as big as his fist in just two or three bites. He was choking, but he kept nodding his head?
Song Zhi left with his valuables.
Taotao stared at the backs of Song Zhi and Guicai, a little confused.
However, it was good that Song Zhi took Guicai away. When she, her father, sister-in-law, and sister went out later, she wouldn't have to worry about anyone coming to knock on her door.
Bai Zhenggan injured his waist and moved slowly, lagging behind and slowly walking out of the door.
Taotao told him that Guicai came to her house early in the morning for some unknown reason.
Xing Xing opened her eyes wide, "He's here again? He was guarding our door last night, and I chased him away this morning when I went outside to sweep the floor! Fourth sister, what do you think he means? His family has been destroyed, he has no home, so he comes to worry about our family?"
"Xingzi, shut up!" Bai Zhenggan shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Xing Xing stopped talking awkwardly.
Bai Zhenggan also found it very strange. "Guicai is still a child after all. Why doesn't he go home so late at night? Why don't his parents care?"
As they were talking, the family walked to the village committee.
There are three production teams in Ruyi Village. Most people received their farm tools and left, but a few groups fell behind.
The villagers gathered together, whispering, reluctant to leave. The village cadres and brigade cadres kept urging the villagers to leave, looking back every few steps.
Suddenly saw Bai Zhenggan coming over?
The villagers hurriedly greeted him in a low voice:
"Secretary, Chen Juxiang is here to cause trouble again!"
"Secretary, can I call the fourth one over for you?"
"Secretary, you are not feeling well, so please ignore this crazy woman and go back to rest!"
"Secretary, Chen Juxiang is ill, please don't make trouble with him..."
Taotao has already run over.
In the middle of the crowd, Chen Juxiang was kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair, a white cloth tied on her forehead, and in her arms was... the tablet of Taotao's grandfather? ? ?
Bai Zhenggan also came over slowly with a cane.
When Bai Zhenggan saw Chen Juxiang's attitude, he was so angry that his face turned blue!
The fourth uncle and the seventh grandmother and other clan elders were sitting on the side, trying to persuade Chen Juxiang earnestly.
"Juxiang, if you have anything to say, just say it nicely!"
"Zheng Gan is not an unreasonable person, just talk to him nicely!"
"Juxiang, please leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future!"
"Why did you come here? We are a family, and you have made things like this... We won't even be able to talk properly to each other anymore!"
At this time, Chen Juxiang had already seen Bai Zhenggan.
A crazy and vicious light flashed in her eyes. She suddenly raised the tablet of Taotao's grandfather and said loudly: "God, please open your eyes! Master, if you know about this in the underworld, please show up... Take a good look at how your good son treats us, an orphan and a widow!"
Tao Tao immediately ordered Xing Xing, "Go find Song Zhi right away and tell him about the situation here. Then tell him that I asked him to bring the treasure over!"
Xing Xing, "What's the point of calling Song Zhi? We should call our mom for this, right?"
Tao Tao was so anxious that she hit Xing Xing, "Our mom is the daughter-in-law, and Chen Juxiang is the stepmother... Our mom will only suffer if she goes against Chen Juxiang! Go find Song Zhi!"
Xingxing had no choice but to run away!
On the other side, Bai Zhenggan had calmed down. He motioned Hongdou to find a stool and sat down on it with the help of his crutches.
Chen Juxiang sneered, "I am your mother and I am still kneeling. How dare you sit down? You want to be on the same level as your dead father? Bai Zhenggan, you rebellious son! Kneel down, kneel down!"
Bai Zhenggan said calmly, "It's a new society now. We should respect our parents in our hearts. Don't kneel or kowtow to them all the time. These are feudal ideas and should be eradicated. We should learn modern civilization and carry out the four modernizations. By the way, why are you kneeling here?"
Chen Juxiang, "What am I doing this for? Don't you have any idea?"
"I have no idea."
Chen Juxiang sneered, "Yesterday, your daughter-in-law Tan Fenghui and your daughter Bai Taotao threw stones at my grandson Guicai's crucian carp, which was completely smashed! My grandson is ruined like this... Do you want to get away with it?"
Bai Zhenggan, "So what?"
"Pay—money!" Chen Juxiang yelled with all her strength.
Bai Zheng laughed dryly, "How much compensation?"
Chen Juxiang stared at Bai Zhenggan with a cold look in her eyes, "I want you to compensate me... one hundred thousand yuan!"
The villagers who were watching all gasped!
Bai Zhenggan found it more and more funny, "Do you know how much one hundred thousand yuan is?"
Chen Juxiang: ...
Bai Zhenggan said seriously: "One hundred thousand yuan requires all the strong laborers in our village to work 365 days a year without missing a day, and to complete 12 work points every day. And then they have to not eat or drink and not spend a penny..."
Chen Juxiang yelled hysterically, "It's none of my business! You ruined my grandson's life! You'll have to pay for the rest of your life! Not only you, but also your wife, your son, your daughter-in-law, your daughter's sons-in-law, and their children... you'll have to pay for this in all your lives! You'll have to work all your life to support us!"
The villagers who were watching were in an uproar.
Taotao clenched her fists.
——She now had some understanding of why her brother Nansheng was so cruel and crazy.
Facing such an unreasonable, crazy and arrogant old woman, she simply confuses white with black, making it impossible to reason with her calmly.
Bai Zhenggan asked again, "Where is Guicai? Why don't you call him out and ask him what's going on?"
Chen Juxiang, "How dare you ask me?"
——Guicai did not come back last night. Chen Juxiang thought that he must have sneaked into the main room. Given Guicai's domineering personality, the Dafang family has no way of dealing with him.
Judging from Guicai's usual living habits, he should still be sleeping now. If anyone dares to disturb him, he will just tear the roof off!
So Chen Juxiang was calm and said, "Ask him yourself!"
Bai Zhenggan frowned.
But Xingxing ran to the field quickly, and saw Song Zhi and Guicai bending over with sickles to cut rice together?
"Brother Song Zhi——"
Xing Xing ran over and briefly described the scene of Chen Juxiang causing trouble in the village committee, and then said, "My fourth sister told you to take Guicai over there immediately!"
Song Zhi nodded and called Guicai.
Guicai came over very obediently, sat beside the field with Song Zhi, washed his feet, put on his shoes and socks, and the two walked towards the village committee, whispering to each other from time to time.
Xingxing followed behind, looking at the two people in front with surprise and suspicion.
Is this a ghost?
Why is Guicai still going to the fields to harvest millet?
"Xingzi!" Tang Liren yelled.
Xing Xing was startled awake, stopped, turned around and looked at her mother in amazement.
Tang Liren, "What happened?"
Xing Xing bit her lower lip.
I couldn't help but tell him again what happened at the village committee.
Tang Liren was almost angry to death. After thinking for a moment, she gave Lili a few instructions, then washed her feet, put on her shoes and socks and came up.
Xing Xing, "Mom! Where are you going?"
Tang Liren, "Don't worry about me, go to the village committee! If that old woman dares to touch your father, you... pick up a few stones to protect yourself! If she dares to touch your father, you will beat her to death!"
Xingxing quickly picked up a few more stones and ran towards the village committee.
At this time, Taotao had been guarding her father, watching Bai Zhenggan negotiate with Chen Juxiang.
She vaguely realized that Chen Juxiang was so arrogant just to anger her father.
——Even if Chen Juxiang is a stepmother, she is still an elder. If Bai Zhenggan was provoked and said or did something inappropriate in public, he would be at a disadvantage.
After all, Bai Zhenggan has been a class leader for more than ten years. He has seen the world and dealt with many critical incidents. He has both experience and skills. He became calmer and more talkative...
Chen Juxiang was compared to the one who was making unreasonable trouble.
At this time, Guicai and Song Zhi hurried over.
When the fourth uncle saw him, he hurriedly called him, "Guicai, come here! Tell the great uncle the truth, are you... injured?"
Guicai’s face turned black.
——Although he was mentally prepared, once he knew that Chen Juxiang was still making a fuss about this matter, he was so angry that he asked with a sullen face: "Who said I was injured?"
Seventh Uncle's Wife, "Your grandma! She said your crucian carp was smashed to pieces? You're doomed for the rest of your life? Did someone really smash you?"
Over there, Chen Juxiang was still desperately winking at Guicai.
Guicai was furious. He glared at Chen Juxiang and cursed, "Bullshit!"
Li Cui'er had been hiding aside, but seeing that the situation was not good, she quickly ran over, pulled Guicai aside, and begged him in a low voice, "My little ancestor, can you please not speak? Whether we can get the money depends on your grandma today!"
When everyone saw that Guicai was standing well and had just jumped three feet high in anger, and that he didn't look like he had been smashed to pieces at all, they stopped believing Chen Juxiang's words.
Bai Zhenggan said, "Is Guicai injured? What happened yesterday? Let him tell us! He is one of the people involved!"
In order to drown out Bai Zhenggan's words, Chen Juxiang shouted at Guicai, "Guicai, don't be afraid. I'll take care of things for you! When we have money, we can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. It won't be a problem for us to treat your illness..."
When Guicai heard this, he was surprised to see this old woman still talking about this matter? He was so angry that he pushed Li Cui'er's hand away, rushed over and kicked Chen Juxiang in the heart!
Chen Juxiang, who had been kneeling for nearly an hour in order to perpetrate a torture scheme, had never expected such a sudden turn of events to occur. She did not even try to dodge and took the kick, then collapsed limply to the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
Guicai was still not satisfied, and pointed at Chen Juxiang and cursed, "Didn't I tell you last night that if you want to get money for Fugui to marry, just say that someone from the first house smashed Fugui's mouth with a rock! Don't bring me into this! Didn't I say that? Didn't I? You bastards are still using me to make things worse. I'm telling you, if you dare to say one more word, I'll tear down your house and kick you out! You old bastard!"
Guicai then said to the onlookers, "Well, I will only tell you the story once. Yesterday, my mother took me to smash my uncle's yard. We wanted to take advantage of the fact that my uncle's family was not at home and steal something. But then my cousin's wife and her family came back! My mother asked me to take off my pants to scare my cousin's wife and her family..."
"Later..." At this point, Guicai was too embarrassed to say that he showed his little crucian carp to his mother, so he glossed over it and continued, "Later, my mother hit me with a stone. It hurt a little at the time, but I'm fine now!"
As he spoke, Guicai jumped a few times to show that he was fine. "I'll say it again, I'm fine! From now on, if anyone dares to say that I'm not good enough, I'll tear down their house!"
The villagers who were watching were talking about it.
"It turns out they want to get money and marry Fugui!"
"No way, Chen Juxiang is too shameless, she is just saying that!"
"What a confusing mix of right and wrong! This kind of person is really too much!"
"She is so shameless that she even dares to ask for 100,000..."
"I feel ashamed to be in the same village with such people!"
Chen Juxiang collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.
Li Cui'er was also shocked. She murmured "Guicai". She wanted to ask "Are you possessed by a ghost?", but she didn't dare to say it, for fear that he would reveal more about how she and Chen Juxiang usually scolded and plotted against the eldest wife...
Bai Zhenggan was also a little confused as to why Guicai would turn against him. But this is good for our family.
