Chapter 42 You Settle the Bill
Without Cheng's, Cheng Dagui couldn't cook, so he had to nibble on a hard cake with Niu Niu and eat it with cold water.
Barely until dawn, Cheng Dagui got up uncomfortably, tried to make a fire to cook, and after a long time, there was only a room of smoke, and finally Cheng Dagui had to run out, why is it so difficult to make a fire?
If he can't make a fire, he can't cook, but he doesn't want to eat raw bread either.
I couldn't help but feel even more annoyed with Cheng, as long as she dared to come back, he would definitely break her legs, and she dared to run around, she really didn't go to the house for three days.
Hearing the cry of Niu Niu from the house, Cheng Dagui's mood became even worse, and he walked into the house in annoyance.
"What are you crying about, cry again, I'll sew your mouth up."
Cheng Niuniu closed his mouth wide when he heard this, his face was full of tears, and he looked aggrieved.
Cheng Dagui was in a bad mood, but when he saw the dirty Niu Niu, his eyes rolled and he suddenly thought of an idea.
"Niu Niu, your mother ran away with someone, and your father can't cook, if you want to eat a hot meal, you can take a bowl and go to Uncle Feng's house next door now, if they don't give you food, you just sit on the ground and cry until they give you food."
Niu Niu glanced at Cheng Dagui timidly, nodded with difficulty, and then took a big bowl and went out.
Cheng Dagui saw Niu Niu walking out, and hurriedly leaned against the wall to listen closely to their movements.
Sure enough, after a while, there was Niu Niu's cry, Cheng Dagui was a little dissatisfied, this Feng Xiaoli family is really, a child takes a bowl to eat, just give it a sting, and you have to let Niu Niu cry, it's really stingy.
After listening for a while, he felt that there was no movement next door, Cheng Dagui hurriedly walked into the house, sat on the stool, and waited quietly with Erlang's legs crossed.
Also coming back with Niuniu was Feng Xiaoli, and when he saw Cheng Dagui sitting there, leisurely like a county master, his face changed instantly.
"Brother Gui, you're also at home."
"Eh, it's Xiaoli, why are you here?"
"Brother Gui, this Niu Niu doesn't know what's going on, he came to our house and started to sit on the ground and cry, we thought you weren't at home, I saw that he had a bowl in his hand, so I gave him some food, no, I sent him back, I'm afraid he accidentally spilled it."
Cheng Dagui looked at the rice in the Niu Niu bowl, and his face immediately sank, this is a little rice, it's really a meal.
Such a big bowl, not even a small half bowl, I'm afraid it's only enough for Niu Niu to eat alone.
"Xiaoli, I really won't tell you, my mother-in-law ran away with someone, and I'm a big man, and I'm not very good at cooking. Last night, Niu Niu and I ate cold cakes, maybe Niu Niu couldn't stand it, so I took the bowl to your house. ”
"Huh? Sister-in-law not at home? ”
Feng Xiaoli asked in surprise, they really didn't know about this.
He often went to the town to do odd jobs, and when he came back two days ago, his family told him what Cheng Dagui and his wife were doing, which made him very angry.
As a villager of Baihu Village, I was taught to cherish my children from an early age, because children are all hopes.
Even if they are poor and have no money, they will pay more attention than other villages.
As neighbors, they are also clear about how the Cheng family treats the two children, but they have not touched the bottom line, so everyone turns a blind eye.
But I didn't expect that the Cheng family was very bold, and they even thought about selling the child, stealing chickens and rice, and the child was also eaten by wolves.
"Well, since she knew she had done something wrong, she secretly ran away, and I only found out yesterday."
Cheng Dagui felt a little embarrassed when he said it, but in order to continue to eat in the future, he had to say everything, maybe this Feng Xiaoli family would help them.
"Didn't the eldest brother eat either? Why don't you come to our house and eat?! ”
"Thank you so much."
When Feng Xiaoli came back, he still took Cheng Dagui with him, which made the family stunned and a little incomprehensible.
"Father, mother, daughter-in-law, Cheng's ran away, and the eldest brother didn't eat, so I called him to our house."
After hearing this, Feng Xiaoli's mother hurriedly got up and went to fill a bowl of rice:
"Then let's eat here first."
For Feng Xiaoli's family's unpopularity, Cheng Daguiquan didn't see it, and added bowl after bowl, a full four bowls of rice, and the one to eat was comfortable.
On the other hand, Feng Xiaoli's family, their faces were even worse than before, they had cooked so many meals in total, and they all went into Cheng Dagui's stomach in a blink of an eye, so it was strange that they could be happy.
Cheng Dagui left with Niu Niu unknowingly, and when he returned home, he fell asleep.
And Feng Xiaoli's family, Feng Xiaoli's father and mother all looked at Feng Xiaoli fiercely, he didn't know that the eldest brother could eat so much, after hearing that the eldest brother's daughter-in-law ran away, he relented for a moment and wanted to let him come back for some food, but he didn't expect the eldest brother to be so unpolite.
"Xiaoli, it's not that my father and mother won't let you help, kindness is a good thing, but if you don't distinguish between people and meet a white-eyed wolf, sooner or later you will hurt yourself."
"Dad, it shouldn't be that serious, right?!"
Feng Xiaoli swallowed his saliva,
"It's just to let the eldest brother come to our house for a meal, how can it be so terrifying as you say?"
"A meal? Do you believe that at noon, he will come over to eat? What kind of person he is, you don't know what, even his own children can do it, how good do you think he can be? ”
Feng Youlai said earnestly, how did he give birth to such a stupid son, it stands to reason that he has been doing odd jobs in the town for so long, why does he still not know people?
"I see, Dad."
Feng Xiaoli was taught a lesson by his father, Cheng Dagui was sleeping dimly at home, and when he was dreaming, he suddenly heard a loud noise, which frightened Cheng Dagui into drowsiness in an instant.
"Who is not long-eyed and dares to disturb Lao Tzu's sweet dream."
"Cheng Dagui, you have such a big mouth."
The person who came was not angry because of Cheng Dagui's words, but smiled and knocked on the wooden stick in his hand.
When Cheng Dagui saw who it was, his face turned pale.
"Second Master Huang, why are you here?"
"What do you say? At that time, we wrote clearly in black and white, we will give you thirty taels of silver, and you will sell your Qingqing girl to us, but as a result, you received the silver, but no one gave it to us. ”
"No, Second Master, they also saw the Second Tiger at that time, we really loaded Qingqing on the ox cart, but we didn't expect it to be taken away by the wolf, this was purely an accident."
"Since there is an accident, then it is better to say, return the silver to us, according to the signed note, if you breach the contract, you will pay us a hundred taels of silver."
"A hundred taels? How so? ”
"What, you think I'm lying to you? Our Huang family is not short of one hundred taels of silver, but the most annoying thing is being deceived. Originally, we thought that the child was eaten by wolves, and we blamed the poor one, and we didn't plan to ask you for money. But yesterday, how did I hear that the wolf was commanded by you? ”
"No, second master, I wouldn't dare to do that even if I ate the bear's heart and leopard gall."
Cheng Dagui's head shook like a rattle, why didn't he know that there was such a thing?
