Grandma Zhao said hesitantly as she watched Zhao Dafu cleaning up the old grain at home.
"Dafu, didn't the village chief tell us to store all this year's old grain first?
If you sell this grain, the village chief will be furious if he finds out, right?
Hearing this, Zhao Dafu put the packed food at the door, stood up, looked at Chen's mother, and said to her.
"Mom, look how scared you are of the village chief.
Our family sells our own grain, and the village chief won’t know about it.
I sell it secretly and will never be discovered by the village chief.
Besides, I've left some old grain at home, and when the new grain arrives, we might not be able to finish the old grain."
Seeing that Grandma Zhao was still hesitant, Zhao Youqian took Grandma Zhao's hand and lay on the ground, saying something in a rage.
"Grandma, I want to eat meat!
I want to eat meat, and you promised me to buy me meat."
Seeing her eldest grandson acting like a spoiled child, Grandma Zhao's heart softened immediately and she quickly hugged her eldest grandson in her arms.
"Okay, let's eat meat. Grandma will exchange this old grain for money so we can buy meat."
After hearing this, Zhao Youqian nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't know if there was something wrong with his nose, but every day he always felt that the smell of meat was surrounding the house next door, vague and not very clear.
Every time he told his grandma or dad that the neighbors were eating meat, they didn't believe him and insisted that it was an illusion caused by his craving for meat.
Chen Hua's family was the fastest to act. The next day after the village chief said that, they took their old grain to the black market to exchange for money.
Chen Hua went to a big hospital to get some medicine. After her bad breath was cured, she finally took off the mask.
When the villagers saw Chen Hua taking off the mask, they subconsciously covered their noses and took two steps back before Chen Hua could speak.
Chen Hua looked at these people's actions and smiled disdainfully.
"Auntie, why do you have to make such an expression?
I was feeling unwell before, so I had a bad taste in my mouth. I went to the hospital and it’s gone now.”
After hearing this, the aunt tentatively took her hand away. Sure enough, she didn't smell anything. Then she looked at Chen Hua with a smile.
"Chen Hua, don't blame your aunt.
I don't mean anything else, it's just that I've been feeling unwell lately and can't stand smells."
Although Chen Hua was bothered by her aunt's actions just now, there was no dissatisfaction on her face. She looked at her aunt with a smile and said.
"Then Auntie, you must take care of yourself and go to the hospital for a checkup."
In this way, the news that Chen Hua was recovered spread quickly in the village.
Originally, this matter did not attract the attention of the village chief.
It was impossible for him to take care of every detail of what happened to the villagers.
But when the village chief returned home that day, he saw his wife sitting on a chair angrily, looking at her nose and eyebrows as if they were not eyebrows.
The village chief stood there helplessly and looked at his eldest son beside him and asked.
"What did you do to make your mother angry?"
The village chief's eldest son felt wronged because he had done nothing.
At this time, the village chief's wife looked at the village chief and said with a cold snort.
"You have offended me."
“Me?
No, when did I offend you? I just came back from a meeting at the brigade."
At this time, the village chief's wife stood up and walked angrily to the village chief, looked at him and said.
"Didn't you say that we are not allowed to sell the old grain at home?
Now look, I don’t even have money to make new clothes this year.
Chen Hua and her mother stood out in the village in their new dresses.
I wish I could wear that skirt and walk back and forth in the fields 800 times a day, just like whoever has never bought a new skirt, it's all your fault."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault.
Isn't this just in case?
Don't worry, when I have nothing to do in the future, I will definitely find a way to buy you a new dress."
At this point, the village chief was suddenly stunned. He knew what Chen Hua's family conditions were like.
The whole family works in the fields, so how could they have the money to buy new skirts, especially two at a time?
When the village chief thought of this, his face changed instantly and he quickly walked out of the house.
The village chief's wife was still waiting for the village chief to come and coax her, but she didn't expect the village chief to turn around and leave.
At this time, the village chief quickly walked to Chen Hua's house.
As soon as he entered the house and saw Chen Hua's mother and the new dress on Chen Hua, the village chief looked at Chen's father with a serious expression.
"Old Chen, tell me the truth, did your family sell off the old grain?"
Looking at the village chief's expression, Father Chen said innocently.
"Village Chief, what are you talking about?
You said not to sell old grain, so I didn't sell any. The old grain is well kept at home!"
After hearing what Chen's father said, the village chief still spoke with doubt.
"Really? You didn't lie to me?"
Hearing this, Father Chen nodded affirmatively to the village chief.
"Of course I didn't lie to you, why would I lie to you?
Seriously, didn’t I tell you that this old grain is well kept at home?”
After hearing this, the village chief's anger subsided, but he couldn't help but warn Chen's father.
“In the past few years, I didn’t care how you sold your grain.
But this year you must store up food for me.
If you sell the grain without my knowledge, don’t blame me, the village chief, for turning my back on you.”
After saying this, the village chief turned around and left.
After watching the village chief leave, Chen's mother, wearing a new dress, looked at Chen's father with a sad face.
"Old Chen, if we don't listen to the village chief, he'll be so angry if he finds out the truth."
There was no worry on Chen's father's face, and his eyes were full of disdain for the village chief.
"Didn't Li Hujiang just study for two more years and become the village chief by relying on his knowledge of a few words? Look how arrogant he is."
After hearing what Chen's father said, Chen's mother patted his arm anxiously.
"Keep your voice down. No matter how dissatisfied you are with him, he is still the village chief. We can't afford to offend him in this village.
Besides, I'm always worried that the village chief will be angry if he finds out that we sold the grain without telling him."
"What's there to be angry about? Don't worry.
Does it still depend on the village chief whether we sell our grain or not?
Don't worry, there's nothing wrong.
I think it's because he saw that both of us bought new clothes, and as the village chief, he felt unbalanced."
After hearing this, Chen Hua's mother was still a little worried.
To be honest, it feels really good when I wear a skirt.
Especially when walking on the road, the villagers in the village looked at her with envy, which gave Chen's mother's self-esteem an unprecedented satisfaction.
But now, seeing the look on Chen's father's face, Chen's mother was really worried about what would happen to their family if something unexpected really happened.
