Chapter 34: Auntie, I advise you to be kind
The next day, when the three members of the Song family had breakfast, they smelled the smell of burning, and Chen put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at the black fog in the sky with a worried face, and the whole village was shrouded in a sense of ominousness.
Qingzhi felt suffocated, and he didn't know if it was because of the black fog or the pressure, so he also put down the bowl and stood with Chen for a while.
The black fog slowly cleared by late afternoon, but the smell of burning plants remained in the air.
There was still half of the chicken roasted yesterday, and there was still more than half of the bread, and the Song family did not make a fire to cook that day, and the Chen family was sewing in the courtyard, still refusing to talk to the daughter who killed the chicken.
It was about the villagers who were stabbed and excited, and from time to time there was a loud voice outside the gate, and the noise became heavier and heavier, and it sounded like a group of people had gathered in front of the Song family.
Qingzhi was surprised, guessing that someone was not angry, so he came to the door and took a stubby rolling pin and hid it in his sleeve.
Sure enough, the door was quickly kicked open, and a thin middle-aged man walked in, and said with a calm face: "Chen, Song Qingzhi, Song Qingdou, the village chief is looking for you to go to the ancestral hall to talk." ”
Most of the Song family's surname is Song, and it is said that the ancestors are all of the same clan, and the village chief is also the patriarch.
When Qingzhi heard this, she was a little relieved: Call to talk, it's okay, there is no male in the orphans and widows of the Song family, and what she was most afraid of before was being beaten by the villagers.
Chen already knew in his heart that this moment would happen sooner or later, so he quickly agreed, pulled the green beans and called the green branches to go out, when a voice said, "Wait! What does it taste like? ”
Nima, who didn't admit that she stole aloe vera, has the most smart nose, and she yelled at the roast chicken last time.
Aunt Zhang's family only participated in the sharing of aloe vera once, but the fields at home were infected with pests in general, and when she hated the Song family, especially Qingzhi, she smelled the smell of barbecue and said: "What a shame!" Today, all the crops in the village are burned, and your family is still gloating and eating meat to celebrate! ”
She walked to the kitchen a few times, took out the half of the chicken on the big plate, turned around under everyone's noses, and said triumphantly: "I just said that the people of the Song family are not well-intentioned!" Song Qingzhi, why did she go to the mountains to dig aloe vera? It's just to see that everyone is living a good life, and deliberately find aloe vera infected with pests to harm us! ”
The onlookers immediately began to exchange ears.
Aunt Gu, the mother of the second girl, couldn't look at it, and said, "Look at what this sister-in-law said!" Even the village chief had seen the aloe vera transplant in the public field, but how could he find any insects? Could it be that Qingzhi is better than the village chief? You said that she deliberately didn't believe me, this thing is an unintentional mistake! ”
About half of the onlookers nodded in agreement.
Qingzhi saw that Aunt Zhang's arrogance was suppressed a little, so she stepped forward and snatched the plate of roast chicken and put it back in the kitchen.
When she came back, Chen was weakly explaining to everyone that Qingzhi was roasting chicken in order to replenish her body.
There was a look of indifference on everyone's faces, Qingzhi shook his head, signaling that Chen didn't need to explain anymore, Chen glared at her again, and the mother and daughter took Qingdou to the ancestral hall with everyone.
Every New Year in Song Village, except for the new widow and seriously ill people, the rest of the people come to the ancestral hall for dinner.
Qingzhi saw that there was a high case in the local area, and there was a chair next to the case, with the village chief sitting on the left and Dong Zhan on the right, drinking tea slowly.
The villagers all crowded into the ancestral hall to see how the village chief and the young master of the Dong family helped them out of this breath.
The village chief glanced at Dong Zhan first, and saw that he didn't mean to speak, so he said to Chen with a pleasant face: "Sister-in-law of the Song family, you have caused pests, you really did a bad job!" I think that when your man was gone, the village took pity on your family, and whoever couldn't help would help? You say it is like this, alas! How bad......"
Chen's face was blue, he lowered his head and didn't speak, Qingdou was so frightened that he hugged his mother's legs, and Qingzhi was about to say something, but was pulled by Chen.
The village chief took a sip of tea and said bitterly: "I burned the crops today, and the big guy feels uncomfortable......
There was a bang around, everyone was really aggrieved, you said that if it was a natural disaster, you would scold the thief for not giving the poor a few words, why should you go, this is a man-made disaster! Angry! Plug the heart!
Dong Zhan raised his hand to stop everyone and motioned to the village chief to continue.
The village chief said: "You orphans and widows, it is not easy to live, who really wants you to compensate?" But I'm thinking, you can't be too many, the villagers are kind and soft-hearted, and we have to be conscious, right? As for me, I suggest that you might as well sell the two acres of land, and the money obtained will be divided among each household that has suffered losses, in fact, how can you compensate for the loss, but it's just ......"
"No way!" Song Qingzhi couldn't help but object loudly: "At first, my family's aloe vera only wanted to be planted in the yard of the house, and the subsidy was enough to live."
You are red-eyed, and you asked the village chief to come to the door and persuade us to take out aloe vera and plant it in the public field, our mother and daughter have never touched aloe vera on their hands, and now who knows if you didn't do it properly to grow worms?
Besides, huh! Who is there who hasn't gotten the benefits of aloe vera?!
If there is a benefit, everyone is divided, and if there is a mistake, how can it become my fault alone? Is this still reasonable? ”
The surroundings were quiet for a while, and Aunt Wang, Gu Erniang and the others all felt in their hearts that Qingzhi was reasonable, although they didn't make a sound, they also nodded slightly.
Aunt Zhang sneered: "This girl is a scourge!" What kind of good thing is a sharp tooth and a sharp mouth? The crops were burned in the village today, and everyone couldn't even eat, so why did you hide the celebration of your mother's chicken stew? ”
There was a gasp of cold air around, and even Dong Zhan couldn't help but glance at Qingzhi strangely.
"This thing is really not authentic, Song Qingzhi, this girl is too ignorant."
"That's it, kill her father, and kill the whole village."
"I look evil, too! Didn't you say that the Bodhisattva gave her a dream? I don't think so, anyway, this girl has been strange everywhere lately, isn't it a scourge? ”
I don't know how the scourge resonated with everyone, and for a while the villagers said so.
Chen stood in the middle of the ancestral hall, if his daughter got the name of a scourge, she would never want to raise her head and be a human being in her life.
She was frightened and angry, her body trembled slightly, and she said, "Qingzhi is a little girl, you are embarrassed to spill your anger on her head!" is full of slander like this, do you still want to be faced? It's normal for crops to grow worms, and who doesn't feel distressed when they burn the ground? You arrested our orphans and widows to insult and be angry, I thought that everyone was kind in the year since the man died, so I endured it, but you all grew up watching Qingzhi, so don't you fear retribution when you say this? ”
She protected Qingzhi in front of her, like a mother beast protecting her cubs, Qingdou saw that her mother and sister were excited, and she was also in tears, and she couldn't stop sobbing.
"Actually, the Song family is not easy, orphans and widows."
"Yes, Qingzhi, this kid is honest and quiet."
"It's no wonder that the Song family is talking about this in detail, and the worm only came out this time."
When Aunt Zhang heard that the direction of public opinion had changed, she was not happy, and sat on the ground and cried: "There is no justice in this world!" My family relies on these acres of land all year round, and now that it has been burned, who knows if the insects will be eliminated in the coming year? Maybe there will be no dealer output for several years, and then a family will be hanged! It's all your girl's fault! You're embarrassed to eat meat every day! Gongtian, your family didn't contribute money or effort, you have the most money, you have a lot of eyes, you are not a good person! I'm miserable! In this world, the good suffer, and the wicked rejoice! ”
Song Qingzhi: Do you call yourself a good person and I a wicked person?
Auntie, I advise you to be kind.
