Chapter Seventy-One: Dead Skin
Aunt Du's face turned red all of a sudden. also forcibly argued: "That's all because they're jealous of me, talking nonsense, you can't believe Qiange!"
Mu Qiange didn't bother to argue with her anymore, so he turned his head directly and said to Zhuangzi's mother: "Aunt Li, I'm not helping you, you are a good farmer, who in the village doesn't know?" Besides, my fields are empty and empty, and if you plant them, I can still get some food every year. As long as you don't think I, a junior, is businesslike and not accommodating at all. β
Aunt Li's face flushed with shame from her joke, and she waved her hand and was about to refuse, when she heard a weak voice behind her.
"Zhuangzi, mother, agree."
Zhuangzi's father turned pale, and waved his hand to stop his son, who was about to come forward to support him.
"Damn, I know what you're worried about, but our lives are like this, so don't care about your face."
After that, he sighed and said to Mu Qiange: "Qiange, I'm not afraid of your jokes." After beating my old man and wounding him, I scattered all my wealth to treat him, but all the cash in my hand was used up, and I also sold some of the land, but the pillars of the family collapsed, and the days were getting worse and worse. β
When Aunt Du heard this, she suddenly felt a little schadenfreude, slapped the table with her oily hand, and glared: "The snow disaster in our village was more or less affected, and now other people's families don't say how good it is, but they still don't worry about food and clothing, you live like this, but you can't complain that the people in the village have not helped you, even if they do, they may not be able to help you up."
"Sister-in-law Du, don't be annoyed, you don't want the people in the village to have a good day."
Zhuangzi's father spoke weakly: "These days, no matter how the days are, we have no complaints, always thinking that we are a family, if we are divided, the underground father and mother will not be able to turn a blind eye." But you shouldn't have withheld the grain we paid for taxes behind our backs, otherwise would we be worse off this day? What qualifications do you have to do such a thing. β
Mu Qiange and Da Yang looked at each other, and finally understood the ins and outs of this matter, it seems that this Aunt Du is really a villain, I don't know how much food I have eaten in the village for nothing.
"Today, I don't care about the ugliness of my family, and I have to say this."
Zhuangzi's father looked at Aunt Li, with tears in his eyes: "Mother, you can go, we still have a strong son to eat, even if it is not for me, but also for the children to be able to eat!"
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, Zhuangzi ran to hug his father's thigh, and cried out: "Dad, Sister Qiange gave me a snowflake cake today, I only ate one piece, and the rest is kept for my father, so that my father can make up for his body, so that my father will not faint again next time."
He was already thin and cried fiercely, which made people feel very distressed.
Aunt Li trembled her lips and burst into tears.
Aunt Li was silent for a long time, Mu Qiange was not good at interfering in other people's housework, and Da Yang felt very uncomfortable, holding Xiao Yang's hand, and was speechless for a long time.
"Yo!"
Aunt Du is not happy, she can say with her mouth, and she is quite liked by the people in the village. This Aunt Li was not like this before, but now the family is a saw-mouth gourd, and she can't beat a fart with three poles, and she is relying on this to bully this pair of good people in every way. didn't think about it, but today he called his father, who has always been silent, to rob him. γ...... ~Β₯ Better Update Fasterγ
This is not a master who can suffer, with a straight face: "Obviously, you have no ability to pay taxes, but you made it clear at the time, and you didn't put forward a single opinion!" What's the matter now, is it because you see someone supporting you? β
Her little mung bean eyes stared at Zhuangzi, like flies sticking to her face, disgusting.
"Zhuangzi, as far as your ghost ideas are concerned, say, did your father and mother say this? I knew that I should have asked your mother to strangle you in the first place, save ......"
"Enough!"
Aunt Li slapped the table hard, and the frightened Aunt Du's words immediately swallowed in, and she stared at him stupidly.
Or that honest people generally don't get angry, but they can start a fire to scare people to death.
Aunt Li looked up slowly, looking much older.
"Qiange, Da Yang, it's so easy for you to come to your house and tell you to see the joke."
Mu Qiange said with a smile: "When I say this, I will see the outside, Zhuangzi, this child is liked by our family, and in the past, our two families moved around less, and it was not mine." In the future, we will also interact more, and we will help each other in everything. β
"Our family, what can we help, but it's going to drag down Qiange."
Aunt Li smiled bitterly: "It's just Qiange, you said that, I agreed."
Mu Qiange's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Aunt Li continue: "It's just that I don't agree with this division."
Aunt Du sneered: "Why, it's too little." As soon as they praised you, the fox's tail was revealed. β
Mu Qiange's face did not change: "If the in-laws have any ideas, they naturally have to talk about it, after all, this is a matter for both parties, and you have to feel comfortable."
"Everyone in the village knows that your three acres of land are all good paddy fields, what you plant, what you do, the yield is still high, and you don't have to worry about it. This is a big bargain I picked up, so this division, I can't be too greedy, every year in the field, I take out forty percent of the grain for Qiange to keep for you. Whether to sell it or send it to the town, Qiange, you have the final say. β
"That's not going to work." Mu Qiange refused: "From planting to harvesting, I can't do anything, it's already good to take 20%, if you take 40%, what is the difference between it and those who took advantage of you in the past."
Aunt Du's face changed, and she wanted to speak, but where could she speak.
Who knew that Aunt Li was also very stubborn: "Qiange, if you shouldn't, I can't either."
There was a stalemate for a while, and the situation was very embarrassing.
Eventually, he spoke.
"Sister Qiange, you can listen to my mother about this matter."
Zhuangzi's eyes were quite moved: "Sister Qiange is like our family."
It's enough to have another parent and help our family so much. No matter how much there is, our family will have a hard conscience. β
Mu Qiange knew that it could only be like this at present, and sighed: "Aunt Li, then I will take advantage of this cheapness."
Sure enough, someone outside the courtyard came over and called Mu Qiange, saying that Aunt Li Zhang had invited her to come over.
"It's estimated that Xiao Yang went to borrow rice noodles just now, it's hard to find Da Yang, I heard that she was here, so I hurried to find her."
Mu Qiange stood up and said to Aunt Li with a smile, "I'll come when Brother Yang and I go." β
Aunt Li also knew that Mu Qiange was a grateful child, so she quickly nodded and said yes.
After Mu Qiange and Da Yang left, only Xiao Yang stayed there, and Aunt Du had nothing to fear, she pretended to laugh with him, and tugged at his sleeve: "Xiao Yang, tell your aunt quickly, your business in the town is so good?" How much money do you have to make on this day? β
Xiao Yang said indifferently: "I can't make a lot of money, but it's just a matter of making a living."
"Pretend, you pretend to be another one with your aunt!" Aunt Du pouted: "Xiao Yang, I heard everything you said in the house during the day." For a month, your sister Qiange gave you this amount of pocket money, which is our living expenses for a month. β
After that, he stretched out two fingers, gestured clearly in front of her, and said awkwardly: "If you don't make money, can I give you so much?"
Xiao Yang secretly regretted his gaffe, and at that time he just wanted to tell Aunt Li's family to have a better life in the future, but he forgot that there was an outsider sitting next to him.
Seeing Xiao Yang's ugly face, Aunt Du suddenly became proud: "Xiao Yang, your life is better now, but you can't be ungrateful, right?" In this way, ask Sister Gui Zhi to follow you to the town for two days, you brothers and sisters, it's okay to be companions and talk, right? β
"No way!"
As soon as Xiao Yang spoke, Aunt Du raised her eyebrows: "What, Xiao Yang, okay you, you are really stiff now, and the villagers don't recognize it?"
After that, as soon as he sat on the ground, he began to cry and wipe his tears: "When your family had no food to eat, who gave you taro?" Without my half of the taro, you would have starved to death. Now that she has a rich sister, she doesn't recognize her life-saving benefactor. Xiao Yang, you are really a loss, and you are not afraid of the people in the village poking you two brothers in the backbone and scolding you. β
As soon as Xiao Yang was about to speak, Mu Qiange, who had just come back, was stopped: "Yo, her aunt, what do you mean, are you asking Gui Zhi to go to my house for a few days?"
"It's not like I'm going to live in vain." Aunt Du saw that the main master had taken care of it, and she couldn't even take care of the howl: "Qiange, our Guizhi, we are ingenious, and we don't know where to go better than Brother Xiao Yang." Ask her to go to your house to help you, and turn around, symbolizing that you can give three or five taels. We're all folks, so you're welcome. β
As soon as Mu Qiange heard it, he was happy.
I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.
If she doesn't treat her today, she will return
It's really going to go to the wall.
"Okay!"
Seeing Mu Qiange's promise, Xiao Yang suddenly became anxious, but was stopped by Da Yang: "When did you see your sister Qiange talking so well, the more happy she usually laughs, the more people are going to suffer."
Mu Qiange smiled and said, "Come and help, but there are some rules that need to be explained clearly in advance."
Looking at Guizhi, he counted one by one: "Our family is open, and things are easy to spoil this summer, so for the freshness of things, I have to get up every morning, make a fire to make marinade, and then make the meat of the first day to be sauced, and then cook for the family." It's almost noon, and there are guests coming, and from time to time they have to prepare a few small stir-fried dishes, and the same is true in the evening. The end of the first and fifteenth day of each month will be busy, and everyone will have to go into battle at that time. But don't worry, I'm tired for a few days. β
Gui Zhi's complexion changed suddenly: "What, you have to do so much work!"
Then he turned to Aunt Du and said unhappily: "Mother, you have to go by yourself, I won't go." I want to marry someone and become a rich wife in the future, and I can't do the work of serving people. β
Aunt Du's face was not very good when she heard it, their mother and daughter have always been worried, and they can't wait to lie down for half an hour when they cook a meal, and they suddenly became embarrassed when they heard it: "Qiange girl, why do you have so much work in your family."
"Those who open restaurants don't live much, where is the business?"
Mu Qiange sighed: "Her aunt, you only saw the thief eating meat, but you didn't see the thief being beaten." Da Yang is still a strong man, he can't get out of bed if he's not tired these days, I feel distressed when I look at it, otherwise, do you think silver is so easy to earn? You have to pay a face to slap your mouth, don't you? How can you take advantage of all the benefits? β
Aunt Du heard Mu Qiange at this time
was mocking himself, and he suddenly twisted his eyebrows and waisted and wanted to get angry, but in the end he endured it because he wanted to hug Mu Qiange's thick thighs.
"Sister Qiange is right!" Zhuangzi echoed indignantly: "Some people just want to get something for nothing, and they always want to take advantage of others. But I don't want to, but I don't want to think about it, even if a pie falls from the sky, how can it be so coincidental to hit her. β
