Chapter 17: I Saw You in a Dream
Qin Liude, Cao Shuijiang, Liu Yan and Yuan Qiu looked at the little girl who was bleeding non-stop, and their hearts sank.
Jiang Yifa glared at his wife who was standing in the corner at a loss, and scolded loudly: "It turns out that where did you put that half a box of cool oil." โ
Jiang Yifa's wife looked at Qin Liude and them in a panic, and pointed to the dusty wooden beam above her head.
Jiang Yifa walked under the wooden beam, stood on tiptoe and fumbled for a while, took out a round box the size of a fingernail from above, blew the dust on it, and then opened the box.
"Mom B, half a box of cool oil makes you look like golden beans, hidden so high, half a box of cool oil can still attract thieves?"
Jiang Yifa counted his wife down, and at the same time opened the lid of the cool oil, picked out some cool oil with his dusty fingers, and pasted it on his daughter's eyebrows.
"Will this work?" Qin Liude asked uneasily.
"Whatever, she shouldn't have her life if she died, anyway, I'm not bad for this dead girl." Jiang Yifa said with a big grin.
In the other corner stood two girls, one about fifteen or sixteen years old, the other about twelve or thirteen years old, looking at the stranger in the room with curious eyes all the while.
The two girls were dressed in tatters, no different from Hanako.
Qin Liude asked: "Why are these two children at home and not going to school?" โ
Jiang Yifa said impatiently: "She wants to go to me and I have to provide for it, other people's uncles and uncles send thousands of dollars to the family every year, and their uncles and uncles are more slamming the door than one another." โ
Qin Liude said: "People send money to their families, nominally to support their hometown, your situation is different, your mother has already gone to Huaguo Mountain, and your father is in such a situation, why should the brothers give you money again?" โ
Jiang Yifa said angrily: "Don't say it, it's just fucking picking, asking them for a few hundred yuan is like asking for dog meat money." โ
Qin Liude asked again: "What about your second daughter?" Why didn't you see her? โ
Jiang Yifa gritted his teeth and said: "Who knows where the wild has gone, it never pays attention all day long." โ
Qin Liude whispered to Cao Shuijiang and introduced them: "Jiang Yifa also has an eldest daughter, and the second girl is twins, graduated from the Building Materials College the year before last, and worked in the laboratory of Jundu Cement Factory. โ
Liu Yan asked Qin Liude a little puzzled: "Why don't they go out to work?" If a few people go out to work, wouldn't the family's economic conditions be better? โ
Qin Liude said with a look of shame: "Not only their family, but also the entire Lion Village people, none of them are willing to go out to work, I will tell you more about this situation later." โ
Cao Shuijiang didn't say a word, silently walked out of Jiang Yifa's house, went outside, and whispered to Qin Liude: "After I leave, you find a reason to return the cow to him."
As soon as Cao Shuijiang was sent away, Yuan Qiu disappeared.
In the past few days, Yuan Qiu often went to the house of Sun Shufang, a widow who opened a commissary in the east of the village.
The commissary is actually a disguise, and Sun Shufang's house is more like a casino, where many people gather, both men and women.
Jiang Yifa's second girl, Jiang Xiahe, also often nests there, she doesn't gamble, she watches.
Jiang Xiahe is one of the few women in Shishizhai Village who is dressed up quite fashionably, Jiang Xiahe dresses more boldly and avant-garde, and she is also beautiful.
Yuan Qiu wanted to beat her idea.
Jiang Xiahe has a boyfriend, also from Shishizhai Village, named Wang Falin, who is a second-rate son who often gambles at Sun Shufang's house.
But Wang Falin has a way to get money, as long as he goes out for three days and five days, he can get back a lot of money.
Every time Wang Falin went out, he would bring Jiang Xiahe a piece of clothing when he came back, most of which were relatively revealing clothes, and Jiang Xiahe was dressed like a bird.
When Wang Falin was gambling, Jiang Xiahe sat on the tip of his tail, sometimes chewing gum, sometimes whistling, shaking Erlang's legs to watch Wang Falin play cards.
The casino was chaotic and messy, smoky, the ground was full of cigarette butts, and when the men had won, they would lift up the blouse of the woman sitting next to them and touch the woman's breasts and scream: "Touch the milk, win ten dollars." โ
The woman laughed and scolded the man for being old and improper.
Yuan Qiu really wanted to see what Jiang Xiahe's shirt looked like when it was lifted up, but Wang Falin had been losing recently, so Yuan Qiu didn't have a chance to feast his eyes.
Wang Falin always loses because he is absent-minded, since Yuan Qiu came to the casino, Wang Falin often wanders when playing cards, he sees Yuan Qiu's pair of thief eyes always looking at Jiang Xiahe's body somewhere, and his heart is uncomfortable.
Wang Falin lost a little too much today, and he was very panicked in his heart, and when he saw Yuan Qiu coming, a pair of eyes were restlessly looking at Jiang Xiahe for a moment, and he became angry:
"You're blind like a cat again, and I've gouged out your eyes."
Yuan Qiu naturally refused to show weakness: "Why don't you let me see, this is the territory of the Communist Party, not your Wang Falin's territory, I can look at it as much as I want, and I can look at it as much as I want." โ
Yuan Qiu's implication is that I am a cadre of the Communist Party and an official, and you are just a flat-headed ordinary person, can your conditions be compared with mine? Don't look at Jiang Xiahe who is good to you now, who may be with you in the future.
Of course, Wang Falin could hear that Yuan Qiu was arguing with him.
So Wang Falin was even more annoyed, and he picked up the small stool under his ass and was about to smash Yuan Qiu, but he was stopped by the card friends.
"Wang Falin, what are you angry about, what can he do, can he still see Jiang Xiahe? It is also a vain look, supporting the dead eye, starving the bird. โ
Seeing that Wang Falin was still staring at him, Jiang Xiahe on the side persuaded: "Why are you angry with him?" I didn't dare to really hit him. โ
Wang Falin said angrily: "If his kid has ulterior motives for you, I won't be able to kill him." โ
Jiang Xiahe said: "You are barbaric, it is not easy to clean him up." โ
Jiang Xiahe whispered a few words next to Wang Falin's ear, and Wang Falin gritted his teeth and smiled: "Damn!" Or do you have a way. โ

Yuan Qiu left, Qin Liude had no choice but to send cattle to Jiang Yi with Liu Yan, in fact, Qin Liude wished that Yuan Qiu was not there, let him go with him, maybe something would cause something else, it would be better if he didn't get involved.
Qin Liude led the cow, Liu Yan followed, and slowly came to Jiang Yifa's house.
Jiang Yifa seemed to have just finished taking a nap, staring at his cow in a daze, without saying a word.
Qin Liude raised the reins of the cow and scolded: "Mom B, the cow has been brought to you, what big egg are you dragging, why don't you hurry up and take it?" โ
Jiang Yifa looked at the cow, suddenly his eyes widened, and he shouted at Qin Liude: "You take this cow away for me, I don't want it." โ
Qin Liude scolded again: "Mom B, you haven't woken up yet, why are you still hysterical, don't you want the cow to bring you?" โ
"Don't want it," Jiang Yifa's eyes widened and widened, "When you took the cow away, it was a body of fat, you see what it has become now, there is only a skeleton of bones left, can you want it?" โ
Qin Liude was stunned, looking at Jiang Yifa's attitude, he was neither hysterical nor joking, this guy was ready to rely on it.
