Chapter 37: Pigs can be sold for money after they die, but can people be sold for money after they die?



Half an hour later, Yu Sui no longer felt any difficulty breathing.

So she was sure that it was absolutely safe in space.

During the first hour of waiting, Yu Sui was nervous, looking at her watch from time to time and listening to the noise outside.

After waiting for the second hour, she began to feel bored and could only buy newspapers and books to read. Yu Sui discovered some rules of the replacement space. Books and newspapers over 90 kilograms could not be bought - "The set world does not apply."

Yu Sui could only buy some older novels to read.

This was a good way to kill time, so Yu Sui bought a U-shaped pillow that could be used to support her neck, and a miner's lamp that could be tied to her arm, and started reading.

Gradually, I forgot that I was being buried.

Yujiawan is in chaos.

Suddenly, a landslide occurred, burying the three and a half households closest to the back mountain.

They are Yu Laogen, Yu Dagou and Yu Laomao.

That half of the house was a pig shed that was buried by the former accountant Yu Datou.

Fortunately, Zhang Caifeng had been urging everyone to patrol these days. As soon as the landslide occurred, everyone discovered it. They immediately shouted and began to count the people.

This investigation made me cry and sigh.

The houses of Yu Dagou and Yu Laomao were all buried, but no one was hurt.

Because Zhang Caifeng saw that the rain had not stopped in the past few days and was increasingly worried that something would really happen to Yu Sui, she went to Yu Dagou and Yu Laomao's families three times a day to persuade them that if they were unwilling to reinforce the rocks, they might as well live outside for a few days, even if it was just to squeeze in with the educated youth living in the cowshed.

Yu Dagou and Yu Laomao were so frustrated by her that they really went to play with the educated youths during the day and secretly stayed there at night. Unexpectedly, their house was buried during the day.

The two families cried bitterly at the place where their house was buried.

Yu Dagou's wife even knelt down in front of Zhang Caifeng: "Ah... Thank goodness for you, Caifeng, otherwise our whole family would have been buried alive, ahhh, my savior, ahhh!"

Yu Laomao also asked his sons and daughters to kneel down before Zhang Caifeng and said, "From now on, you will be their godmother. If you have any problem, just tell us. If our family says no, we will be struck by lightning."

But Zhang Caifeng didn't have time to say more and was busy asking about other families' situations.

At first, everyone thought that Yu Dachao's family had only had a pig shed knocked down by the rocks, burying at most two pigs, and there shouldn't be any casualties. But then Yu Dachao, with a pale face, shouted, "My wife is feeding the pigs! She's buried! Hurry and save her!"

After saying this, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

At this time, Zhang Caifeng no longer cared that she was just the director of the women's department. Seeing that the acting team leader Yu Fugui was still smoking a pipe, she quickly organized the members to help dig people out.

The worst off family is definitely Yu Laogen's family.

Yu Laogen was removed from his position as team leader. He has been too embarrassed to go out and see people these days, so he stays at home with his wife every day.

Because it was raining, his son and daughter-in-law were also at home.

Someone said: "Luckily, fortunately, at this time, his little grandson is in the brigade primary school, so there is only one boy left!"

Acting Captain Yu Fugui could only sigh and say that Yu Laogen had a bad fate. However, Zhang Caifeng, a woman, stood up and immediately assigned someone to inform Yu Laogen's married daughter:

"Hey, Yu Si, go inform Yu Xi and tell her to come here right away. First, we need to take care of Yu Xiaosong, the only one left. Second, we need to see if her village can bring some people to help us dig out her parents. They've just been buried, and if they're still alive, we need everyone to get out and dig them out!"

This is a big deal.

None of the members refused to help. Men, women, young and old, as long as they had nothing at home, came out to help dig.

Zhang Caifeng also sent someone to the brigade headquarters to notify the secretary and try his best to call other members of the brigade to come to the rescue.

At times like this, the more people there are, the better.

But this is half of the earth mountain that collapsed. It is impossible to fix it by just digging a few times.

After two hours of digging, they still couldn't find any bricks or tiles related to the house. Instead, Sun Yuying frantically searched among the crowd, "Have you seen my Yu Sui? Why is my Yu Sui gone? Yu Sui, Yu Sui, you damn girl, where are you?"

Someone complained: "Yu Sui? She must be sitting at home with her legs crossed. Is that lazy girl going to come and help save people?"

The more Zhang Caifeng interacted with Yu Sui these days, the more she felt that Yu Sui was not that kind of person.

It was Yu Sui who suggested that the villagers reinforce the rocks to prevent landslides. How could she be alone at home when she needed help?

Zhang Caifeng quickly helped Sun Yuying ask about Yu Sui.

Finally, an old woman in her eighties heard that someone had been buried in the back hills. She came out on her bound feet and said, "Ah, I saw a person holding an umbrella and talking to a child at the back window. It sounded like the grandson of Yu Sui and Yu Laogen."

Some people laughed at her: "Grandma Jiu, you must be deaf and heard it wrong. Yu Laogen's grandson is in school, how can Yu Laogen's grandson speak!"

No one bothered about it anymore.

Zhang Caifeng comforted Sun Yuying: "Sister-in-law, Xiaosui must have gone out. Saving people is the most important thing right now. There are two families whose people are buried. We are short of manpower. Let's dig them out first."

Saving lives was indeed the most important thing, so Sun Yuying couldn't say anything more. Her daughter was already unpopular, and if she made a fuss again, people might laugh at her daughter Sui'er behind her back.

Sun Yuying had no choice but to bury her head and help move the soil and dig people out with a worried look on her face.

After working for more than three hours, there was movement at Yu Dachao's house.

Because Yu Dachao's pig shed was buried shallowly, everyone dug to the roof of the pig shed quite quickly.

Relatively speaking, the chances of people on this side surviving were greater, so everyone went all out to dig here first.

At this time, the brigade secretary and everyone else came. Yu Qiu had also come since he was in elementary school. His face was pale, and he kept calling for his mother while digging the soil with everyone else. He looked very pitiful.

Finally, we dug out two pigs.

They are all dead.

Yu Dachao hugged the pig and cried inconsolably.

Although Yu Dachao's son Yu Ke did not cry, he was asking people everywhere whether he could still sell the dead pig at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Some people said yes, some said no, and those with different opinions even started arguing.

Amidst the quarrel, Yu Qiu shouted, "Brother! Is this the right time to talk about this? Mother is still buried down there!"

Yu Ke also shouted, "Do you think I don't know? But what can I do? The pigs are dead, how can my mother still live? If my mother dies, who will arrange my wedding? You, you?"

As soon as the rain stopped, everyone fell silent in the rain.

well!

In times of poverty, no one feels embarrassed to blame anyone else.

To put it bluntly, a pig can be sold for money after it dies, but a person's funeral costs money.

Pigs are definitely important.

This son... haha, he knows what he's doing.

Everyone dug the soil silently again and soon dug out Yu Qiu's mother, Luo Suying.

His mouth and nose were filled with mountain soil, his body was stiff, and he had been dead for a long time.

Yu Qiu threw herself on Luo Suying and cried bitterly.
