"Yeah, the way both parents dress doesn't look like they're short of money."
Zhou Jingli said, "I really don't know how these two families knew Li Mingqing. It's completely inexplicable. They also gave him a lot of gifts."
Wang Dazhu stopped swinging the hoe.
Said: "How dare you make up such nonsense? Your face is not healed yet."
"none of your business!"
"I'm just laughing at the joke, why are you so anxious? Li Mingqing went to the capital, went abroad, and was even in the newspapers. You can't compare to him."
Zhao Youcai and Wu Shengli looked at each other, quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and made way for the two to fight.
Liu Jiajia looked at the two of them with disdain.
The two didn't fight in the end, they just had a few arguments.
The villagers were not surprised because the two had quarreled a lot because of Liu Jiajia.
Days passed, and in the blink of an eye it was time to harvest wheat.
Even the schools were closed so that the children could return to the village to help.
The day before the summer harvest, the village chief reminded the villagers to sharpen their sickles with whetstones.
He went east to his private plot and picked seven or eight ears of green wheat and gave them to Li Mingqing.
"Uncle, it's delicious when roasted."
"Where did you get this?"
"It's in our family's private plot. If we don't eat it now, it will become too old to eat."
When the wheat ears turn yellow, they become very hard and not as delicious as when they are green.
Li Mingqing looked at the roasted wheat ears and said with a smile, "Then I have to try it."
It’s really delicious.
Sun Jiaxue said, "I think the wheat in our family's private plot will take another five or six days to ripen. If you like it, go pick some and roast it."
The time for planting wheat in our family’s private plot is later than that of other families.
Otherwise it would be more tiring if it were done at the same time as the summer harvest.
Most villagers plant their crops at staggered times.
The big girl said, "Uncle, aunt, let's go to the field and pick up wheat ears first."
Several children trotted away together.
"Wife, I saw a lot of mugwort behind the house yesterday. I'll go get some."
"I'll go with you."
Li Mingqing took a basket and a shovel and went out.
Sun Jiaxue came out holding Niu Niu. She had just sprayed some mosquito repellent in the room to prevent the child from being bitten by mosquitoes.
When I arrived at the open space behind the house, I saw Wang Dazhu digging mugwort.
The sun rose from the west, and he was still working.
"Oh my God, Mingqing, you actually came out to work. I thought I was seeing things just now. You even came out with your family."
"Why did you come out?"
"Of course we're here to dig mugwort. There are a lot of mosquitoes right now. Fortunately, it hasn't rained yet. If it rains again, it will be terrible. The mosquitoes can eat people."
He continued digging mugwort while complaining.
There are weeds growing all around the City God Temple, and the family didn't clear the weeds, so it's normal that there are many mosquitoes.
After a while, Liu Jiajia came over with a bag.
Seeing Li Mingqing, he immediately said, "What a coincidence! You guys are just digging mugwort. What a pity, we have dug up all the mugwort here. You should go somewhere else."
It's just mugwort, not gold.
Besides, the slope ahead is covered with mugwort, so there’s no need to go anywhere else.
“That’s a lot.”
"We were here first."
"What's wrong with you being here first? This isn't your home. Anyone can come here. Do you think you have to sort firewood by first come, first served when you go to the mountains? Whoever picks it up first gets it."
Wang Dazhu squatted on the ground until his legs were numb.
"Jia Jia, hurry up and dig! I'm so tired! We can't finish digging so much mugwort even in two days."
Liu Jiajia raised her foot and kicked him hard.
How can I not tell the difference between close and distant relatives?
You're sticking your elbows outward, you really deserve a beating.
"You damn bitch, are you crazy? I worked myself to death and you just kicked me. If you can do it, then do it yourself. It's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist."
"Did I marry you to work? Go away."
"You don't do any work at home, and you don't do any work outside. I'm afraid you're going to die."
"If you have the ability, this won't be a problem, you wimp."
Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue quickly moved aside.
He took a shovel and started to work with the mugwort.
With pieces of mugwort, a basket is full in ten minutes.
Sun Jiaxue said, "Brother Mingqing, this is almost enough, let's go back."
"Okay, I'll pick more after I use it up."
There is plenty of mugwort in the wild and on the roadside.
Wang Dazhu still quarreled with Liu Jiajia from time to time.
When he saw Li Mingqing getting up, he said, "Are you leaving so soon? You really can't endure hardship. You've only been here for a short time."
"That's more than enough."
"How lazy! Look how much we've made between the two of us."
"That can't be helped. Who made you live in a pile of weeds? I'm different from you. My home is clean and there aren't many mosquitoes."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiajia glared at him angrily.
The more she thought about it, the more unlucky she felt.
Wang Dazhu added, "I really don't know what you're thinking. You're giving a little girl such new clothes, and your wife does nothing at home all day, eating for free. Aren't you just a big complainer?"
"Wait until you become a father before you worry about this."
After saying that, Li Mingqing and Sun Jiaxue left.
The killing power of his words was extremely great, and Wang Dazhu was instantly defeated.
Yes, Liu Jiajia’s belly hasn’t moved at all after being married for such a long time.
Could it be that what his mother said was true, and that she had really beaten the child before and was getting her retribution?
"Jia Jia, have you ever hit a child before?"
Liu Jiajia reflexively denied it: "Bullshit, you're the one who hit the child."
