Chapter 100 Are you here to teach me a lesson again?
Zhao Jinchen looked at his father and found that he looked very tired. Concern flashed in his cold eyes. It seemed that things were very troublesome.
"What else can I do? I was also scolded by the commune secretary, who said that I was too soft-hearted and shouldn't have tolerated Granny Li. As for the five of them, they were all kept in the commune, and their treatment was not my responsibility."
Zhao Yaozu pinched his brows tiredly. If the matter got out of hand, he, as the village chief, would be in trouble too. But if he didn't report it, feudal superstition would become so serious that if he, as the village chief, pretended to be ignorant, he would also be punished if he was reported.
"Go home and rest first!"
Zhou Guifang felt sorry for the man and rarely saw him looking tired. During the spring ploughing time, he would lead the villagers to work in the fields for more than ten hours a day, and he was always energetic. How could he look like this now, exhausted both physically and mentally by being tormented by a few old women?
"I'm thirsty. I need some water."
After entering the yard, Zhao Yaozu ran towards the water bucket, picked up the water scoop and prepared to drink.
"Dad, this water was used to wash persimmons. Please sit for a while. I will get you some water."
Zhao Jinchen hurriedly stopped him, poured the water in the bucket into the garden, and carried the bucket out.
"In the house, do we have guests?"
Zhao Yaozu was very careful. When he saw the pool of chicken blood on the ground, he went to the chicken coop to check and found that an old hen with reed catkins was missing. He looked at Zhou Guifang and asked.
"Didn't you see a green car when you entered the village? Jin Chen's comrades are here. I killed a chicken, but they refused to eat it. I'll stew it for you later."
Zhou Guifang pointed at the chicks in the basin. Since there were no guests, she naturally couldn't bear to kill the old hen that laid eggs.
"Jin Chen's comrades are here? Why don't you keep them here?"
Zhao Yaozu was still very hospitable. If he didn't give his son's comrades-in-arms a warm welcome when they came, it would be a slap in his son's face.
"He said there was an emergency at home. Head of the family, I tell you, Jin Chen is an extraordinary comrade-in-arms. He can help Yuying join the art troupe!"
Zhou Guifang happily reported to her husband that her daughter was very ambitious, and as a mother, she naturally wanted her daughter to fly out of the mountains and not be like herself, where there were mountains everywhere, undulating and endless. Staying in the mountains all her life made her feel suffocated, just like a frog in a well.
"Really? Then we should keep him here so I can have a good chat with him."
After hearing this, Zhao Yaozu complained to his wife, saying that when guests came to visit, how could she just leave without eating?
"How can I stay? Pull me away by force?"
Zhou Guifang felt very aggrieved. Zhou Zixu looked like a high-class person. Maybe he didn't want to eat rural food?
"Dad, let me rub your shoulders."
When Zhao Yuying heard her parents talking about her joining the art troupe, she hurried out of the house and pinched Zhao Yaozu's shoulders in a flattering manner, looking like a good girl.
Besides, Zhao Jinchen was walking towards the well with a bucket in his hand, and he saw a fat figure from afar. She was the only ridiculously fat woman in the whole village, so he knew who she was without even looking at her face.
Thinking of the prescription he had memorized, he pursed his lips and walked over.
"Water?"
A deep voice sounded behind her. Li Sihui had just fetched water from the well. She didn't turn around when she heard it. She knew who the person was just by the voice.
"What? Are you here to teach me a lesson again?"
Li Sihui poured the well water into the bucket she brought with her, and spat it out with a sarcastic voice.
She saw it all. After Sun Guodong was beaten by her, he went to him to complain. Now he took advantage of her fetching water to blame her.
I feel really annoyed. Can't this man figure things out before causing trouble for me?
