Chapter 73
How could you say "I'm having my period" to a married man in front of his daughter?
At this moment, not to mention the village chief and others, even the women's director, who usually had a lot more work to do because of Widow Lin, felt embarrassed for her.
Everyone around them was feeling a bit embarrassed by Weisheng's words, but she stood there as if nothing had happened. Her hand was still clutching the back of Widow Lin's collar, and she looked at the village chief with a smile, all kinds of cute and obedient expressions, as if she couldn't let go, just waiting for him to say something.
In the 1960s, people were ashamed to talk about menstruation, but Widow Lin had always used it as a weapon. She had been unstoppable for several years, but now she had fallen into Weisheng's hands.
If Widow Lin had really had her period today, Weisheng would definitely not have treated her like this. But since she didn't, and she still said such things to Ming Yichen, don't blame Weisheng for letting the whole village know that she said she had her period.
At this moment, not only did the village heads who heard that the naughty kid was causing trouble again know about it, but even Ning Chaoyun who stayed at home was informed by the villagers who were eager to watch the fun.
Although he knew that his daughter knew some martial arts, Ning Chaoyun still dropped the work in his hands and hurried out. As soon as he reached the gate of the yard, he saw Ming Yichen coming back with food.
The couple looked at each other, and finally Ming Yichen told Ning Chaoyun what had just happened with an embarrassed look on his face, and told her: Your daughter wants to eat egg custard.
Ning Chaoyun: “…”
After putting all the food in the small warehouse behind the main hall with Ming Yichen, Ning Chaoyun walked around the house and finally took a fruit knife and went out.
Ming Yichen didn't think it was that likely; with his mother around, his daughter wouldn't suffer any harm. But he was afraid that his persuasion wouldn't just stop her, but would only provoke him. So, he simply asked Ning Chaoyun what she wanted for lunch, saying he had it ready for them to eat when they returned.
After saying a somewhat embarrassing "whatever", Ning Chaoyun hurried off to look for his daughter.
But she was still late.
When she arrived, her daughter had already listened to the village chief's advice and put down her butcher knife. Oh no, she had loosened her hand that was holding onto Widow Lin's collar. She was now gently adjusting Widow Lin's collar, pinching her neck with her fingers, and saying something with a smile on her face:
"I like being bothered. If something like this happens again next time, I won't mind your trouble. As for my dad,"
Weisheng paused, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "My mother and I are reluctant to let him work. If you dare to trouble him, I'm afraid you will never have any trouble again in your life."
After saying that, he patted Widow Lin's face, which had turned pale in an instant, and then walked up to the village chief. "Uncle Village Chief, since you've spoken, I will definitely give you this favor. That's it for today. If she comes back with this or that next time, I will definitely learn from Lei Feng's willingness to help others."
Village chief: This tone of speaking really makes me wonder what to do next.
After giving a wink to the women's director, the village chief was about to take Weisheng to another place to talk.
In peacetime, even if you don't use explosives, bows or crossbows, it's best not to help others at every turn.
"Wait a moment!"
Just when the village chief, Weisheng and Ning Chaoyun were about to leave, the voice of the women's director came from behind them.
Everyone turned around to look, and saw the director of women's affairs pointing at Weisheng, who was also looking back at her, and asking, "Why can't she speak?"
Just as Weisheng and the others were about to leave, the director of women's affairs prepared to send Widow Lin home first, and then do some ideological work on her. If she really needed a man, then she should remarry. If she didn't need a man, then she shouldn't do all those things every day.
Unexpectedly, Widow Lin pointed at her own mouth, then at Weisheng in the crowd, and opened her mouth to speak. Not only could she not speak normally, but she also drooled a lot.
Although she didn't understand why, the director of the women's department instinctively called for help.
"I forgot!" Weisheng looked towards Widow Lin, following the director's hand. Then he remembered that Widow Lin's jaw was still dislocated. So he walked towards Widow Lin, intending to fix her jaw. However, Widow Lin was so frightened when she saw Weisheng coming towards her that she stepped back, and finally, she even scurried behind a nearby male villager.
In an instant, Weisheng and everyone else's expressions changed.
The women's director was closest to Widow Lin, but she ran behind a male villager who was two or three steps away.
Is this Widow Lin's nature, or do you two have some intimate relationship that others don't know about?
No matter what others thought in their hearts or how their faces expressed anger, Weisheng just took a few steps forward, grabbed Widow Lin from behind the male villager with one hand, and pinched Widow Lin's chin with the other hand. After a very small and crisp "click" sound, Widow Lin's mouth, which had just been about to close, was finally closed.
Adhering to the principle of seeing things through to the end, after the chin was installed, Weisheng sent Widow Lin back to the male villager.
"You guys keep going, my mom is calling me home for dinner!"
The male villager: Continue what?
Widow Lin: You little bitch, just wait for me!
Others: ...What a great show.
In the end, Weisheng did not follow the village chief and the others, but followed Ning Chaoyun back to the foot of the mountain.
On the way back, Ning Chaoyun not only asked what Widow Lin had said, but also asked what Ming Yichen's reaction was.
Weisheng told the truth, and Ning Chaoyun didn't say a word against Widow Lin, no matter what she thought. Instead, she gently taught a woman to be independent, self-reliant, and self-respecting.
Weisheng agreed with this view, but he still told Ning Chaoyun that living in the countryside meant not being too particular about appearances. Sometimes, you might be hesitant to argue with someone because of your status, but they might think you're afraid of them and then challenge you even more. And those who don't know the truth might think you're easy to bully.
They were almost at the gate of their own courtyard. Weisheng had almost finished her talk, and then, suddenly thinking of something, she smiled at Ning Chaoyun and said, "It's okay. I'm still here. Having one capable person in our family is enough."
Ning Chaoyun: "But we can't always let you, the only child, take the lead."
She pushed the door open and entered the courtyard, then locked it from the inside. Ning Chaoyun went to the toilet, while Weisheng took a bundle of firewood that she had specially sprinkled with medicine and burned it under the courtyard wall.
Their home is at the foot of the mountain, and when the weather gets cold, the wild animals in the mountains can't find food and will sneak down the mountain. Their courtyard wall is high and strong, but they still need to take more measures to rest assured.
Weisheng prepared some medicinal powder in the space, sprinkled it on the firewood, burned a bundle each time, and then left the ashes in the corner of the wall, which could also have the effect of driving away wild beasts.
However, because there are powder residues all around the courtyard wall, the kittens and chickens at home will definitely not approach the courtyard wall and gate.
But it’s also good this way. Although they can’t run outside, the yard at home is big enough for them to have fun.
After finishing all these, he went into the house with Ning Chaoyun.
Their family was used to using the central hall as a living and dining room. At this moment, Ming Yichen was sitting on the square kang in the central hall, reading the newspaper that the village chief brought back from the town while staring at the food in the pot.
Weisheng wanted to eat egg custard, which Ming Yichen also knew how to make. To please his daughter and wife, Ming Yichen also made a pot of wild boar stewed with cabbage and vermicelli, sweet and sour shredded radish, and stir-fried pork with sour beans.
This matter had nothing to do with Ming Yichen. Ning Chaoyun and Weisheng had no habit of taking their anger out on others. Seeing him like this, they just explained what had just happened, and then they talked about other things tacitly.
We suddenly have two new kittens at home. They're just a month old and already know how to eat and go to the bathroom. They're not afraid of strangers, so they meow at dinner, making dinnertime a little more interesting.
It would have been fine to just eat, but the kitten was too young and had just been dewormed, so after dinner Weisheng put a litter box in her room, preparing to have the kitten poop in the house this winter.
In order to make it easier for them to enter and exit the main room and his own room, Weisheng also opened a hole in the door.
After finishing, he grabbed the two kittens and threw them into the litter box. When they crawled out, he threw them again. He repeated this two or three times before Weisheng stopped paying attention to them.
By the way, two days ago, Ming Yichen bought four kang tables from a villager who did carpentry work.
There is one in the main room, two bedrooms and study.
Just now, the three of them were sitting on the square kang in the main room and having lunch at the kang table.
Weisheng's family is now like everyone else in the village, eating three meals a day during the busy farming season and two meals a day during the slack season. They are currently eating their afternoon meal.
However, Weisheng's family all goes to bed late. Ming Yichen and Ning Chaoyun both have the habit of reading at night. In addition, Weisheng is also a night owl, so at nine or ten o'clock in the evening, their family has to have another midnight snack.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Ning Chaoyun baked three sweet potatoes in a bread oven. Weisheng took advantage of the time when the sweet potatoes were not yet baked to go to the village and collect the firewood pile that was allocated to their family.
In addition to the food rations today, each family also received a pile of firewood made of corn stalks.
Ming Yichen had already taken the rations home, and Weisheng had decided to wait until it was completely dark at night to transport the firewood back using space.
There was nothing they could do about it. The area they lived in was so remote that they couldn't just go and get a few bundles of firewood like the villagers who lived nearby, which was convenient and didn't take up much space.
Around nine o'clock, Weisheng returned to his room after having a meal of rice porridge with roasted sweet potatoes.
After a dreamless night, Weisheng woke up early to look at the two kittens sleeping in her bed, and kept postponing her waking time. Ning Chaoyun came to call Weisheng twice, but seeing that Weisheng had already woken up, he just held the kittens and didn't get up, so he didn't urge her.
There's nothing to do, so just stay in bed if you want.
She had dinner with Ming Yichen in the main hall, and peeled an egg to feed Weisheng in the quilt. After feeding him, she was worried that her daughter's mouth would be dry, so she also gave her a few sips of rice soup.
It directly embodies the word "spoiling".
Weisheng was no longer hungry, so he continued to play with the two kittens in bed. But just when he was having fun, someone blocked him in the bed.
Du Chunni didn't expect that Weisheng hadn't gotten up yet so late. She was a little envious of Weisheng for having such good parents, but at the same time, she sat on the square kang in the main room with Ning Chaoyun and waited for Weisheng to get up.
Weisheng slowly climbed up from the kang, woke up the two kittens, and then threw a wild walnut for them to play with as a ball.
Ten minutes later.
Weisheng took a bowl of porridge and drank it slowly, while Du Chunni, who was sitting on the kang in Weisheng's west room, brought up the old story again and talked about the privately made bows and crossbows.
Weisheng said the same thing, as long as the village chief approved it, she would do it.
Du Chunni had thought of this before she came, so she didn't waste any more words on it. Instead, she changed the subject and told Weisheng what the red sleeves were, how the red sleeves in the town were recruiting, and what would happen if he joined.
Everything she said was about how great and impressive the Red Sleeves were. As long as Weisheng agreed to make a crossbow for her, she would introduce him to the Red Sleeves.
Weisheng: “…”
This is really a great temptation~
He complained in his heart about how ambitious Du Chunni was, but on the surface he still looked confused. "Is the Red Sleeves so good? Then will they pay me a salary for joining the Red Sleeves? How much can I get per month?"
Du Chunni was stunned by the question. She hadn't expected Weisheng to ask whether the Red Sleeves would pay her salary. She felt that Weisheng still didn't understand how powerful the Red Sleeves were, so she told him a lot about what they had been doing recently and how much they had been showing off.
Weisheng: "...You participated too?"
"Yeah." Du Chunni looked proud, and the look she gave Weisheng was filled with a hint of innocence and stupidity. "I also heard about what happened yesterday. People with moral corruption like Widow Lin are the ones we need to crack down on severely."
