It was her fault for being short-sighted. She only saw a corner of the clothes and didn’t know it was Qin Zhiheng’s underwear!
"hehe……"
There is no most embarrassing thing, only more embarrassing. Yu You twitched his mouth and started sewing faster.
In the field.
Plowing the fields was the most strenuous work, and since the team didn't have enough old oxen, this job fell to the stronger laborers. It also earned the highest work points.
In pairs, Qin Zhiheng pulled in front and Liu Xiguo pushed from behind.
"Brother Qin, let's go home for dinner after work. My wife's family sent some tofu dregs yesterday. Call An An and Ning Ning, and we'll make some tofu dregs and vegetable porridge."
Liu Xiguo's wife's brother-in-law grinds tofu in a state-owned tofu shop and can buy tofu dregs at a low price without any tickets.
Qin Zhiheng suddenly thought of the millet porridge last night and the woman who had caused such a big mess this morning.
"Xiguo, we won't go there. Leave it for your boys to eat."
These days, every family doesn’t have enough food, so people generally don’t go to other people’s homes for free meals.
Liu Xiguo knew that Qin Zhiheng didn't like to take advantage of others, but most of the Qin family's food went into Yu You's stomach.
An An and Ning Ning followed them in the cowshed and had nothing to eat or drink.
"Brother Qin, why did you marry such a wife?"
Qin Zhiheng remained silent, thinking about Yu You's words. He realized that he couldn't continue to be depressed like this.
"Xiguo, do you know the location of the black market?"
Liu Xiguo looked around nervously.
Then he whispered, "Brother Qin, please keep your voice down."
"Actually, many people in our village know this. How much can we sell the eggs and beans we've saved at home for at the supply and marketing cooperative? The brave ones secretly take them and sell them on the black market."
So many people? It seems that I have really become "narrow-minded" in recent years!
Qin Zhiheng's eyes flashed: "Tell me about the prices on the black market."
Liu Xiguo...
In another field.
Liu Shuzhen was gossiping with her two sisters-in-law, Zhang Suhua and Yang Meihong.
"Have you seen the second brother and his wife? They both came today and got five-centimeter jobs!"
Yang Meihong was a little worried: "If my second brother and his wife don't work hard to earn work points, we will have to get less food for a strong laborer. How can this family have enough to eat?"
Their fourth family had two young children, and the couple was always good at cheating, so out of the whole family, their fourth family earned the fewest work points.
Zhang Suhua didn't care: "Anyway, no matter whose things are missing, ours won't be missing. No one in our third house eats for free."
Although the third wife did not earn full work points, her two sons were grown up, and what the four of them earned was enough to provide for their family's food and drink.
Liu Shuzhen and Yang Meihong looked embarrassed because their two families had always relied on the work point subsidies from the second house.
Liu Shuzhen said embarrassedly, "You're mistaken. You haven't benefited from the second wife's income. But we haven't split up. If the second wife earns less, won't she be the one benefiting from you?"
"That won't do! Why are you taking advantage of my family?"
Zhang Suhua is a simple-minded person who speaks bluntly, but her principle is simple: to ensure that she does not suffer any loss.
Liu Shuzhen continued her efforts.
"Now that Yu Rou is back, it seems the second brother and his wife want to keep her. Yu Yuan is so young, how many work points can he earn? Their family really eats more and works less these days."
"Sister-in-law, what do you say we should do?"
"What can I do? I still have to rely on my mother."
"Then our mother didn't manage it today. Second brother and his wife don't listen to us anymore."
The three of them shuddered as they recalled the changes in Yu Weimin and Cao Xiu over the past two days. It was hard for Wang Cuihua; they couldn't do anything about it.
Yang Meihong sighed, "If they stay at home like this, we'll have to keep paying for them. It's really worse than nothing. It would be great if we could separate Second Brother's family."
Zhang Suhua raised her head quickly, her eyes lighting up.
"Third sister-in-law, I'm just talking, don't take it seriously."
"What's the big deal? When a tree grows up, it will split. When a son grows up, he will separate. Several families in our village have already split up."
In fact, she also wanted to separate, and she dreamed of living her own life. She might as well take this opportunity to bring it up with her mother-in-law.
"You two help me with this, I'll go talk to Mom."
He threw away the hoe and went to look for Wang Cuihua.
"Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law wants to separate herself, right?"
Liu Shuzhen snorted and laughed: "She's so bold, but she didn't even bother to see if our mother agreed. She's the one who's stupid but bold!"
Sure enough, Zhang Suhua, who was used as a gun, was soon chased and beaten by Wang Cuihua.
The two of them chased each other, causing the whole team to watch the fun.
Yu Tiezhu and the third brother Yu Guanjun quickly chased after them and pulled the two apart.
"Mom, what are you doing with Suhua?"
"Why do you want to hit her? I'm still here, and she wants to divide the family!"
Hearing this, Yu Tiezhu felt his authority was challenged, and he frowned and scolded his son: "Guanjun, you need to control your wife. She is so disrespectful!"
Liu Guanjun always listened to his parents. When he heard this, he slapped Zhang Suhua in the face.
"Are you so full that you have no time to think about splitting up the family?"
Zhang Suhua was very aggressive. She attacked Liu Guanjun and scratched him.
"I'm doing this for our family! My second brother and his family aren't working hard anymore. We can only eat half full, and we'll have to use work points to support them in the future."
"What's wrong with splitting up? Only by splitting up can we have more food!"
The fight was so intense that more and more people gathered around to watch.
"Why did Wang Cuihua beat her daughter-in-law and then Yu Guanjun beat her? What is the Yu family trying to do?"
"I've heard Aunt Wang is overbearing. Look at Yu Weimin and his wife. They went to work even though they were in such a bad state yesterday. They even collapsed in the fields from exhaustion in the afternoon."
…
Yu Tiezhu's face darkened as he slapped Yu Guanjun in the face: "Don't embarrass yourself here, go home first!"
Behind the crowd, Yu Weimin and Cao Xiu had blank expressions on their faces. No one knew they were deeply moved.
Cao Xiu leaned close to Yu Weimin's ear and said, "Old Yu, you're trying to separate us, right?"
Yu Weimin: "I didn't expect they couldn't stand it so soon."
"Should we add fuel to the fire?" Cao Xiu's eyes were full of excitement.
"That's for sure. It's better to separate them sooner rather than later. Xiaorou can't even eat at ease at home. And our son, I can't even cook for him."
"I'm getting anxious when you say that. It's almost noon. Can I do something during lunch?"
"I think it's okay!"
"I'll go get some eggs from the chicken coop! Our eldest daughter is injured, so it's only right that we take care of her. Boiling an egg isn't too much to ask."
Wang Cuihua usually forbade her daughters-in-law from approaching the chicken coop. She even fed the chickens herself, fearing that others might take the eggs.
Yu Weimin praised: "My wife, you are really thoughtful. It is better to marry a virtuous wife."
Cao Xiu was pleased with this.
"We can't easily divide this house. We have to bring some food with us. We also have to move out to live. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to do anything."
"Let's move to a place near Youyou. We can build a house there to make do. We can build a house when we have enough money."
"I think it's okay!"
The couple walked home while discussing, without earning any work points, and headed towards Old Yu's chicken coop.
