Chapter 038 Otherwise I will never be done with you
The people who came were none other than the old lady of the Wen family and a group of people.
It turned out that she had always been thinking about exchanging thatch for money.
After sleeping for a while, I got up and remembered this matter, and kept calculating in my mind: If the second brother’s family does not have enough straw for thatching their roofs, they will definitely be very anxious.
I used to sell my own thatched straw to them at one cent a bundle, no, two cents a bundle.
The more she thought about it, the prouder she felt, and her body seemed to feel a lot lighter.
I walked out of the house and into the yard, leaning on a fire poker. I wondered where my old girl had gone.
She wanted to see how many bundles of thatch there were in the yard so she would have an idea of how many there were.
When she came to the place where the thatch straw was piled, she suddenly found that all the thatch straw had disappeared.
She was immediately furious. Could it be that the brats from the second room stole the thatch?
Just as I was about to start cursing, I saw the three children from the eldest house squatting together in the corner of the yard, playing and eating candy.
Although her eyes were blurry due to her old age, she quickly saw that it was White Rabbit Milk Candy.
What made her even more dizzy was that her three precious grandsons were still holding a lot of candy wrappers in their hands.
Of course she knew that White Rabbit milk candy was valuable. It was a good thing that was hard to buy even if you had money, and I heard that you needed a ticket to buy it.
How come a few brats have so many?
She waved the fire stick in her hand, stared at him and asked, "Who gave you the White Rabbit candy?"
The three boys from the Wen family's eldest branch found out that their grandmother was angry and they didn't know what to do.
When Old Lady Wen saw her grandchildren acting silly, she felt upset and started hitting them with the fire poker without restraint.
The three boys from the first house were beaten so hard that they started howling like ghosts.
Wen Erzhu was hit on the buttocks and felt the pain, so he immediately raised his hands in surrender.
"Grandma, stop hitting me. I said, it was Daya who said she wanted to exchange the thatch for two pieces of White Rabbit candies or two beautiful glass balls..."
Although the second and third sons of the eldest wife are younger than Wen Kexin, they never call her sister. They have been called Daya like everyone else in the family since they were young.
Old Mrs. Wen was biased and didn't find anything wrong with this. She had gotten used to hearing it.
She immediately gnashed her teeth and cursed: "Daya is instigating you to go home and steal thatch because I don't want to change it for her, you idiots!"
Erzhu and Sanzhu immediately retorted, "Grandma, you are wrong. Daya was talking to a bunch of us kids. Many of us went to change the thatched roofs, and everyone said it was suitable."
Old Lady Wen immediately jumped up and cursed, waving the fire stick and continued to curse: "You idiots, you are still helping others count money after being sold, hurry up and come with me to settle the score with Daya. Take these glass balls and candy wrappers, and exchange them for the thatch. I would rather stuff the thatch into the stove to make a fire than give it to those ungrateful wolves."
Erzhu and Sanzhu were beaten so badly that they cried like wolves and ghosts.
At this time, Zhang Guihua came back and soon found out about this.
Old Mrs. Wen said angrily, "Old lady, let's go find Daya and ask her to pay five yuan for the thatched roof. Otherwise, there will be no end."
Zhang Guihua found that all the White Rabbit milk candies had been eaten up by her sons, and the glass balls, although beautiful, were useless.
She rolled her eyes and fully agreed with her mother-in-law's proposal.
In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took Erzhu and Sanzhu to the house where the second wife currently lived.
They were noisy and attracted many curious onlookers.
In this way, the team grew bigger like a snowball. The leading old lady Wen and her daughter-in-law thought that they had supporters behind them, so they walked in front with their heads held high and slapped the two prodigal boys from time to time.
Erzhu and Sanzhu felt as bitter as if they had eaten coptis chinensis, and were pushed over crying all the way.
As for Dazhu, he ate a lot of White Rabbit milk candy.
When he found out that his two younger brothers were being beaten, he didn't want to get involved, so he slipped away.
At this moment, Wen Kexin took a few quick steps, stood at the gate, and looked at the group of people with a playful look.
"Grandma, aunt, we have just separated for two days, and you have brought a lot of people to my house every day. Why are you howling like wolves and ghosts? I knew you wanted to take advantage of me, but I thought you were here to announce my death. Tell me, what happened at home?"
To be honest, the people who followed had no idea what was going on.
They just followed to watch the fun.
Life in the countryside is boring, and when we finally get a chance to eat melons, everyone wants to know what's going on.
After hearing this, everyone felt that what the eldest girl from the second branch of the Wen family said made sense. They had already separated the family, so why did the old woman bring people here to make trouble every day?
Don’t blame this girl for her vicious mouth!
When Old Lady Wen and Zhang Guihua heard this, they were so angry that their hearts, livers, spleens and lungs almost exploded.
Zhang Guihua rushed to the front and cursed: "Daya, you are such a heartless loser. You schemed against your cousin to steal things. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning..."
Wen Kexin interrupted her without hesitation and argued, "My aunt is so arrogant that she came to my house and said I was a money-loser. Are you used to being called a money-loser since you were a child? Do you admit that you are one?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Wen Kexin glanced at everyone and continued, "As for what you said about scheming against my cousin, I didn't do it and I won't admit it."
Zhang Guihua said angrily: "You are such a quibble. Didn't you use candy and glass balls to exchange thatch from the children?"
"I have done this before! Everyone knows that a bundle of thatch costs two cents, but two pieces of White Rabbit candy can't be bought for five cents, and two colored glass balls can't be bought for five cents either. Not only did I not take advantage of the children, but I actually lost out. It can be said that I didn't take advantage of anyone."
The people who followed finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wen family brought their children here to discuss the matter of thatching the house, and they also had their own children who exchanged for a few candies.
Aunt Zhao, Aunt Wang and others immediately started discussing, "Daya is a kind person, she is right, she did suffer a loss."
"You beat the child just because of this? And you came to my house making a fuss. Are you being stupid?"
When the Wen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard everyone's discussions, they suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Old Madam Wen pushed Zhang Guihua aside, stood in front and said unreasonably: "Daya, what do you know as a child? Didn't you say you would exchange it with grandma for money? I want to exchange it now, but the exchange of these two brats doesn't count."
Wen Kexin was so angry that she laughed. This was really a case of there being no gain without pain!
Calculated at two cents, the thatch on the Wen family's roof was only worth a little over one yuan. The old man not only kept thinking about it, but also wanted to get his hands on the money.
She said sarcastically, "Grandma, I came to you first this afternoon, but you said you didn't want to exchange it for two cents, but ten cents a bundle. I'm not a fool, so I didn't agree to your request. I was thinking of collecting some thatch grass in the village. It was your two grandsons who took the initiative to ask me to exchange it for candy and glass balls. You're going back on your word now, you don't want to exchange it for ten cents a bundle, do you?"
If some people at the scene did not believe Wen Kexin’s explanation just now.
Now I understand what Mrs. Wen is planning.
Mrs. Wen was still thinking about asking for two cents in exchange for a bundle of thatch straw, but she felt the glaring gazes of the crowd.
He didn't dare to continue to offer a high price, but stood up and said fiercely: "The child's exchange does not count, I want 10 cents for each bundle of straw, you have to give me 5 yuan in total, otherwise I will never let you go!"
