Cheng Mingyue curled her lips and said nothing more.
The group soon arrived at Li Da Laba's stall.
There were many people picking and choosing, but there was no sign of Carpenter Li, which made Li Da Laba very angry.
"What a useless bastard! He disappeared at such an important moment today. I'm going to kill him when I get back!"
Wang Guihua and the others just said a few words of comfort and then went to visit other places.
Li Da Laba hurriedly grabbed Wang Guihua's arm, glanced at Cheng Mingyue secretly, and whispered:
"Sister-in-law Cheng, please don't buy any more wooden basins, and that wooden barrel that Mingyue likes. When we get back, I'll have my dead son send them to your house as an apology for what happened today."
Wang Guihua waved her hands repeatedly, "That's impossible. Carpenter Li spent a lot of time making those things. Don't even mention giving them as gifts. Just make it cheaper than the guy just now."
Li Da Laba happily held Wang Guihua's hand and didn't know what to say.
"No wonder you're the village chief's wife. Your ideological awareness is higher than mine!"
Li Da Laba continued to talk a lot, and just when Cheng Mingyue was getting a little impatient, she let go of Wang Guihua's hand.
After walking around for a while, Cheng Xiaolong and Cheng Xiaohu started to cry out for pee. Cheng Mingyue was a little bored with the stroll, so she took the two little guys to the toilet in the village.
After using the toilet, the two little guys ran happily to the market again.
Cheng Mingyue followed them and was about to turn into the market when she glanced to the side and vaguely saw Carpenter Li talking to a woman at the corner.
The woman only showed half of her face, and Cheng Mingyue didn't see her appearance clearly. She was also afraid that there were too many people in the market and the two little guys would bump into each other, so she didn't look at them any more and ran after the two little monkeys.
After Cheng Mingyue disappeared into the crowd, the woman came out from the corner.
"Brother Li, how have you been lately?"
"Don't mention it. I'm almost going crazy because of that evil woman. Tell me, other than telling you that I sent you some gifts, have I done anything to offend her?!
She, on the other hand, took advantage of my mistakes and used them as a token of authority to punish me to death.
Not only do I have to do carpentry work every day, but she also throws all the family meals to me. Not only that, but she also bullies me about our affairs every day. I've really had enough of that wicked woman."
When Carpenter Li mentioned Li Da Laba, he couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart.
He had been being humble and subservient to Li Da Laba at home recently, and now he met Widow Wang again, and was so concerned by her gentle words. Carpenter Li felt that Widow Wang was the only one in the world who understood him.
That’s right, the woman who was hiding here and talking to Carpenter Li was none other than Widow Wang, who had been forcibly sent back to her parents’ home.
Widow Wang's hard life began after she was driven back to her parents' home.
There is endless work to do every day, and she has to help the whole family with washing clothes and cooking. That's fine, but the annoying thing is that anyone in the family who is unhappy will pick on her.
He said that she had brought shame to her family and made them be bullied by others. She was a bit of a hot-tempered girl, but as soon as she talked back, she was slapped several times by her brother, and her back teeth were loosened.
Recently, her family has been getting close to a matchmaker in the village. She overheard their conversation and heard that they wanted to sell her to an old widower in the mountains.
She is only in her thirties and has a lot of life to live. There is no way she would marry that kind of person.
Widow Wang thought about it carefully before deciding to go find Carpenter Li.
In her impression, Carpenter Li was an honest man with excellent carpentry skills. However, he had never had a happy life after meeting a vicious woman like Li Danlaba. It was only because of Li Danlaba's intentional or unintentional seduction that he sent things to her behind Li Danlaba's back.
Widow Wang saw that Carpenter Li looked like he wished Li Da Laba dead, and she thought again,
"Brother Li, I really feel sorry for you. That Li Da Laba is too vicious. He even led people to catch Lu Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing in an affair, causing the deaths of young girls and boys at such a young age."
Carpenter Li had been feeling really depressed recently, and now that he saw Widow Wang talking to him, he told her everything that had happened.
Widow Wang widened her eyes and raised her voice unconsciously:
"Brother Li, you said that Cheng Mingyue was the first to discover the affairs of Lu Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing, and that Li Da Laba and the others were the ones Cheng Mingyue went to find?"
Although Carpenter Li didn't know why Widow Wang was so curious about this matter, he nodded.
"I happened to be at home that day and I heard it clearly."
"Brother Li, since Li Da Laba treats you so badly, why don't you think of a way? If only you could be with me. I will never treat you like she did. I will make sure you live happily every day."
After saying this, Widow Wang walked up to Carpenter Li and gently kissed him on the cheek. Then, as if feeling shy, she hurried back to the town.
Carpenter Li covered his old face that was kissed by Widow Wang, and then looked at Widow Wang's graceful figure. It was as if a wild weed had grown in his heart, growing stronger and stronger.
Only when Widow Wang was no longer in sight did Carpenter Li slap his thigh, remembering that he had set up a stall at the market today, and ran towards the market.
Cheng Mingyue walked around the market again before going to the stalls of the two Cheng brothers with Wang Guihua and the others.
Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan had sold everything in their backpacks, and their pockets were filled with Mao Zedong's banknotes. Even on the ground were a lot of things they had just exchanged with the villagers.
When they saw Cheng Mingyue and the others coming, the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
Cheng Xiangnan couldn't wait to get close to Cheng Mingyue's ear and said, "Yue'er, you are really amazing. Today we tried the method you said, and we really sold more and faster than others."
Cheng Mingyue smiled and praised him a few times, then looked at Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lan a little embarrassedly:
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I just told the two Zhang brothers that I would send them some vegetables. Who knew that the eldest and second brothers would sell out so quickly? How can I explain this to the Zhang brothers?!"
Zhang Lan patted Cheng Mingyue's shoulder and said, "It's no big deal! If my brothers really like it, I'll ask your second brother to pick some and send it over tomorrow."
Zhang Hongying also smiled and said: "That's right, my family has bought a bicycle now, so we can come whenever we want, it's very convenient."
A few of them chatted and laughed as they went to Zhang Hongying's house again.
Cheng Mingyue said it to Zhang's brother in person, making everyone laugh.
To be honest, Cheng Mingyue is too honest.
It was almost noon, and the Zhang family was very enthusiastic about inviting them to have dinner at their home, but Wang Guihua refused.
There were really too many of them, about ten people in total, big and small. If we really wanted to eat at their house, they would have to cook a big pot.
Besides, food is too precious nowadays and no one has much surplus food. Why bother causing trouble for others?
