Chapter 124 Let's settle the matter
Li Jianguo felt distressed, knowing how hard it was for his sister to earn these scarce noodles. She usually had to eat them sparingly and just have a snack to satisfy her cravings. It was such a waste to eat them like this.
"Eat first. I'll go to the mountains and see what I can eat. When the village chief comes back, I'll write a letter of introduction. I need to earn money to buy a big pot."
Li Sihui put the noodles into the bowl without any regrets and stirred them with chopsticks. Her soup contained special ingredients taken out from the space capsule and tasted particularly delicious.
"Hey, is your life good?"
Zhou Changjiang's mother came in with a basket, and when she saw the brother and sister cooking noodles in an iron basin in the yard, her eyes flashed with jealousy.
Every family eats coarse grains, where does her family get the fine grains?
"Auntie, are you here to deliver eggs?"
Li Sihui ignored the jealousy in her words, stood up and wanted to take the basket and make two poached eggs to make the noodles taste better.
"It used to be, but not now."
Zhou Changjiang's mother took a step back and hid the basket behind her, with no intention of giving Li Sihui the chance.
"What? Aren't you afraid that I will sue your son?"
Li Sihui looked at her with a sneer. The original owner was too honest and everyone wanted to bully her.
"How about this, let's make a deal. I won't report you for speculation, and you won't sue my son. How about we make it even?"
Zhou Changjiang's mother rolled her eyes and spoke with certainty, believing that Li Sihui would definitely agree.
"Who is speculating? What did you see me selling?"
Li Sihui didn't expect that she would use this to threaten her, and she was still shocked. Did she reveal her true colors?
Or did that damn Zhou Zixu tell the Zhao family? According to the character of the village chief, as long as he dared to do business privately and go against the wind, he could really send himself to the commune selflessly.
"You must have sold some stuff, otherwise how would you have money to buy noodles?"
Zhou Changjiang's mother was originally trying to defraud Li Sihui, so naturally she couldn't tell what she was selling.
Although she didn't know what she took with her when she left the village yesterday, when she came back, she was brought back by a car.
Li Sihui felt relieved, realizing that she was trying to scare her.
He smiled coldly at her: "This is a gift from my friend. How can I not accept it even if it's given to me for free? Whatever you want, go ahead and sue me! Take the eggs back. I'll go to the commune tomorrow morning. Anyway, everyone saw your son trying to strangle me to death. There are plenty of witnesses."
After Li Sihui finished speaking, she stopped looking at her. Her calmness made Zhou Changjiang's mother feel uneasy.
"You...you're really not afraid."
She asked again unwillingly, but all she got was silence. Li Sihui ignored her and stirred the noodles with chopsticks.
Li Jianguo looked at his sister worriedly, feeling very nervous. His sister went to the city and brought back more than ten kilograms of flour and noodles. He had suspected it before, and now when he heard what Zhou Changjiang's mother said, he became even more scared.
I remember last year, the widow Wang from the village secretly took eggs to the city to sell, and was caught for speculation.
She was almost sentenced, but later the village chief came forward to bail her out, saying that he had a letter of introduction but she forgot to bring it with her.
Unfortunately, the eggs were confiscated, and Widow Wang was frightened to the point of falling seriously ill.
At that time, the village chief convened a general meeting and warned the villagers that if they wanted to sell the eggs, they should go to him for a letter of introduction and sell the eggs through legitimate channels at the supply and marketing cooperatives, and never sell them secretly on the streets.
The flames flickered, blinding people. Zhou Changjiang's mother kept looking at Li Sihui. If she showed any fear, she would save the eggs today.
