Chapter 21: The Rogue Tang Cripple
At the end, smacking the juice from the corner of her mouth, she smiled from ear to ear.
"Chu Yao's father, you can also taste it, this chicken soup is really good, it doesn't taste medicinal at all, but it tastes extraordinarily delicious."
Without waiting for Rou to finish speaking, the soup bowl in front of Tang Chunren had already bottomed out.
For so many years, he has always slept outside the home, and although he can eat hot meals when he comes home, he has never had such ironed meals.
Touching his full belly, he looked satisfied.
"Chu Yao's cooking skills are getting better and better, and we will have a good mouth in the future."
Under the soft halo, the family is harmonious.
The next day, Tang Chuyao got up early in the morning, and hurried out of the door after making breakfast.
The prey that his father exchanged for one leg still had to come back.
Next to the old locust tree at the east end of the village, in a dilapidated mud house.
Tang Cripple was lying leisurely on the recliner in the courtyard basking in the sun, spit out a few melon seed skins from his mouth from time to time.
"Old woman, do you think Tang Chunren will also become a cripple?"
"Who knows?"
A rough woman's voice came from inside the room.
Hearing this, Tang Cripple took a hard puff of his homemade cigarette gun and laughed coldly.
"Hmph, I don't think I can save it, you didn't see the bloody legs, you can see the white bones, it is estimated that it is wasted!"
As soon as he swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, Tang Cripple's expression was leisurely, and there was more cunning between his eyebrows.
"Who will dare to laugh at me for being a cripple in the future?"
Tang Chunren originally had nothing to be superior except for a good strength and a good body, but now he even lost his legs, which was worse than Tang Cripple.
He was lame, but he could still walk.
Tang Chunren is like this, maybe he will lie in bed and become a paralyzed waste person for a lifetime!
Outside the courtyard, Tang Chuyao was just about to raise his hand and knock on the door, when he heard the gloating conversation in the courtyard, his face immediately became gloomy.
Why is this crippled man's mind so vicious?
Looking forward to her father becoming a cripple and being his companion?!
Tang Chuyao clenched his fists and slammed them the cracked wooden door.
There were a few knocks on the door, dull and heavy.
Tang was stunned for a moment, then put down the cigarette gun, and dragged a lame leg towards the door.
"Who? What are you doing in such a hurry so early in the morning? β
With a few mutters, the door opened.
Seeing the visitor, Tang Cripple subconsciously wanted to close the door.
He has seen this girl, but it's not the girl in Tang Chunren's family.
"Uncle Tang, why did you close the door when you saw me, everyone is also a fellow villager, why are you so unwelcome to me?"
Tang Chuyao pressed on the door panel, her toes against the crack in the door.
Seeing that he couldn't close it, Tang Cripple simply opened the door.
He chuckled twice, revealing a mouthful of ragged yellow teeth.
"Don't be surprised by the eldest niece, your Uncle Tang and I didn't see it clearly just now, and I thought it was from outside to beg for food."
Open your eyes and tell nonsense, and the ghost will believe!
Tang Chuyao snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't care about it on his face.
"Uncle Tang, you also know about my father, he said that the harvest on the day of the hunting was stored in you, do you think it is convenient for me to take it back?"
Hearing this, Tang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes dodged, looking like he was not smiling.
"What harvest? Is the eldest niece mistaken? Your dad doesn't have anything to store with me. β
After speaking, Tang Cripple was a little weak-hearted, and his eyes glanced towards the stove room from time to time.
I'm really afraid of something!
As soon as the lame Tang wanted to cover it up, his mother-in-law walked out happily with a bowl of broth.
"Dead ghost, come and taste this pheasant soup, it's delicious! Don't say it, Donald doesn't have any other skills, he is a good hunter, but this time he has gained a lot! β
As she spoke, the lame mother-in-law sniffed her nose and licked her mouth.
Seeing Tang Cripple blinking desperately, his mother-in-law was stunned and didn't understand.
"What's going on? What's on your eyelids? β
She put down the soup bowl and hurriedly stepped forward to check Tang Cripple's eyelids.
As soon as the lame Tang rolled her eyes, she raised her hand and knocked her mother-in-law's outstretched hand away.
"You dead mother-in-law is blind, aren't you, what are you yelling about! Don't see any guests? β
Hearing this, his mother-in-law noticed Tang Chuyao on the side, and her fat lips couldn't help but tremble.
"Don ...... The daughter of Donald's second family? How did she get here? β
Tang Chuyao clasped his arms in his hands and looked at Tang Cripple with interest.
"Uncle Tang, this pheasant is so fragrant, it seems that your life at home is very moist!"
The corners of Tang Cripple's mouth twitched twice, and his face was embarrassed.
"Why don't you have some food together? After a while, I asked your aunt to bring you two white-flour steamed buns, but I can't ask you to come here for nothing! β
It's all at this time, and Tang Cripple still wants to pretend to be stupid?!
Tang Chuyao snorted coldly, strode forward, picked up the bowl of pheasant soup and shook it in front of Tang Cripple.
"Uncle Tang, don't tell me that you went up the mountain to hunt and came back, when my aunt spoke just now, I seemed to hear something."
As he spoke, Tang Chuyao's eyes deliberately looked back and forth on Tang Cripple's legs.
Who in this Taolin Village doesn't know that this Tang lame man is a wasted person, where can he still hunt?
The cripple Tang seemed to have been greatly humiliated, and the whole person became extremely ashamed.
"Dead girl, who do you look down on? My lame Tang is lame and can't hunt, this pheasant was given to me by your father, can't it? β
Seeing that Tang Cripple was no longer polite, Tang Chuyao didn't bother to pretend to be submissive, she coldly forced her eyes to take a few steps forward.
"Oh? Is it? Why didn't I hear my dad say he gave you pheasants? β
Tang Cripple was shocked by Tang Chuyao's momentum, and his heart became more and more empty.
It's just that his mother-in-law saw that Tang Cripple was suppressed by a yellow-haired girl one by one, and she rushed to the top of her head with a fierce anger.
"It's all said that it was sent, is it difficult to want to go back, how can there be such a reason? I think you don't know the rules, and your eyelids are too shallow! β
Tang Cripple's mother-in-law turned around and snatched the soup bowl from Tang Chuyao's hand.
"You don't have to be embarrassed, we still want it, get out of here, Donald has been loyal all his life, why did he give birth to such a cunning thing as you."
Tang Chuyao didn't expect Tang Cripple's mother-in-law to be so rude, her slender body didn't pay attention to it, and she staggered a few steps.
"Aren't you robbing openly? What's the difference between this and banditry? β
Tang Chuyao was no longer patient, she reached out and grabbed the other side of the soup bowl.
"Ahh
Caught off guard, Tang Cripple's mother-in-law spat into the soup bowl with a mouthful of saliva, and then raised her eyebrows at Tang Chuyao triumphantly.
"Dead girl, if you want to eat it, take it back! Look at not eating you. β
It's too much!
This family is simply vexatious!
Putting the soup bowl on the patio table, Tang Chuyao glanced at the chicken soup in the bowl with disgust.
Although the chicken soup is very delicious, there is a mouthful of thick phlegm wafting on it, which makes people very disgusting to watch.
Even if you take something like this, you can only throw it away.
"Who is rare! People are watching the sky, and the retribution is not happy, let's see. β
Tang Chuyao threw down a cruel word, turned his head and left.
For the sake of such prey, she didn't want to make the matter known to everyone, so it was better to put her father's first.
But all these people who have bullied her, she has to get them back little by little!
When she returned home, Tang Chuyao took advantage of Tang Chunren's change of medicine to give a serious warning.
"Dad, don't have much to do with that cripple in the future, their family is full of ungrateful people."
"What's going on? As soon as I came back, I was furious. Tang Chunren was a little surprised.
Hearing this, Tang Chuyao told Tang Chunren everything he saw and heard at Tang Cripple's house today.
After listening, Tang Chunren was first annoyed, and then a little helpless.
"Chu Yao, forget it, more is better than less, don't worry so much."
Hearing this, Tang Chuyao was a little angry, and her bandaged hand was slightly forced.
"Dad, you are a good old man, you swallow everything, this will encourage the arrogance of others, and you will use us as soft persimmons!"
Seeing that Tang Chunren was still soft, Tang Chuyao had to sigh helplessly.
Her father is so soft-hearted, I'm afraid he can't be relied on.
She's got to be strong!
After changing the medicine, Tang Chuyao just went out, and a piece of candy paper fell out of nowhere.
By the way, she also has a lot of candy to try her luck in town.
Out of the village, the ox cart walked more than ten miles of paths, and Tang Chuyao came to the densely populated town.
After searching for a while, she stopped in front of a luxuriously decorated shop.
Raising her eyes, three agarwood signboards inlaid with gold edges appeared above her head.
It's so dazzling!
Sure enough, it's a shop that only rich people can afford!
Pulling the placket of the plain white clothes on her body, she raised her head and strode in.
What catches the eye is the colorful and tight candy plates, each with flowers on the base.
The petals set off the candy on it are more and more delicate and attractive.
The best adhesive paper for candy paper is strewn with diamond-shaped shards of tin foil, which shines in the sunlight.
At this time, the guy in plain blue clothes looked over and looked Tang Chuyao up and down.
Seeing that she was dressed in a poor sour, she immediately looked disdainful: "Where did you come from, poor girl, go aside, this is not the place you should come!" β
Tang Chuyao smiled faintly, not annoyed.
"Can you taste the candy in your shop?"
Hearing this, the guy snorted fiercely.
"Of course you can taste it, but these are all things bought by rich and noble people, if you want to come to eat and drink, it is a daydream, hurry away and stay away, don't delay our business!"
As he spoke, he was going to drive people out.
"Waitβ" A clear voice came and stopped the man.
Tang Chuyao looked back, and the woman who came in had a delicate face, wearing a goose-yellow rolled yarn dress wrapped around the willow waist, and she had the temperament of a lady.
With a faint smile towards Tang Chuyao, she spoke again: "Girl, you can taste the sugar here casually, and I will pay for it in a while." β
Seeing that this woman was friendly, Tang Chuyao was not polite, and reached out and took a few different types of candy to taste them one by one.
At first, the sugar is very sweet, but the later it goes, the taste is the same.
After tasting it for a while, she finally stopped and said, "These candies taste very ordinary." β
