Chapter 20 Wang Jing is a thief
After being hungry for a few days, she taught her mother-in-law a lesson, knowing the preciousness of food, and then she went back to her parents' house to borrow rice to survive.
Although her mother's family is also poor, she still has some rice.
Daddy can't watch her starve to death, right?
Wu Hui made up her mind, so she no longer bothered about Liu Wan's crazy food every day.
Wang Jing, as usual, went to Uncle Wang's house to learn carpentry after eating in the morning.
But unlike usual, today he has a different task, he has to find time to make a tea oil press.
My mother told him in detail about the method of pressing, and it was not difficult, but it needed tools and wood.
Since it is for household use, the wood does not need much, just take some waste wood that Uncle Wang usually uses.
Uncle Wang is a red-faced fat man who usually likes to drink a little wine.
After drinking wine, he began to work, and then he instructed his apostles to cut wood and chop wood, but never taught them the craft.
After Wang Jing for a long time, he saw that Uncle Wang was using them as free laborers.
Although he saw this clearly, he was unwilling to serve Uncle Wang for a year in vain, so he always used the inspirational experience of his friends to cheer himself up.
For example, Goudan went to the town to learn to make clothes, and the master didn't teach him at the beginning, but then once the master was sick, and Goudanyi served him untiedly, and the master was moved, so he taught the craft to Goudan.
Now Goudan has also opened a ready-to-wear store in the town, and every time he goes back to the village, he wears new clothes, and there are five people and six people.
Wang Jing felt that one day he would have the same good luck as a dog's egg, and he would always be able to move the master, and when the master taught him all the crafts, he would learn the craft, and he would also honor the master......
Rural babies are supported by dreams one by one.
So when the eldest brother Wang Xiao persuaded him to leave Uncle Wang's house, he refused to leave, but still had hope and decided to gamble.
After a year of delay, I didn't learn some craft, and I couldn't get over it after all.
Now his mother has asked him to make an oil press, if he can't finish what his mother has assigned, she will find that she has nothing to learn here, and she probably won't let herself stay any longer.
Wang Jing knew that his mother was the most realistic.
If he knew that he hadn't learned the trade, he would definitely let him go home, and then he could only look for pigweed, plant fields, and find a chance to make a fortune in this life.
No, he must complete the things assigned by his mother.
Third Uncle Wang drank two more glasses at lunchtime, and when Wang Jing saw this, he felt that this was an opportunity, so he took the initiative to persuade Third Uncle Wang to drink:
"Third uncle, the weather is good today, don't you drink two more glasses? I'll do the rest, so you can drink it with confidence. ”
"Yo, you kid, you understand my heart more and more? Haha, in a few years, I will teach you all the craft, you take my mantle, don't kick me to the side. ”
Third Uncle Wang looked quite happy.
Wang Jing pursed his lips and smiled, brought him several more glasses of wine, and said, "Master, don't worry, if I make money, I will definitely honor you." ”
Uncle Wang was so drunk that he soon went back to the house and fell asleep.
Uncle Wang's carpentry workshop was in the side yard on the left side of his house, Wang Jing looked left and right, and found that another guy happened to have something to do at home today, and he was the only one in the workshop.
Estimating that Uncle Wang was going to sleep until the evening, Wang Jing boldly took the wood and made it according to the style of the oil press that his mother said.
Uncle Wang didn't know that Wang Jing "stealed" every day, and he really learned some kung fu......
Liu Wan was tidying up the yard in front of the house, the yard was weededs, it hadn't been cleaned up for a few days, it felt like a barren field, she used a hoe to slowly shovel the grass, ready to call a few children to help in a while, and clean up the yard so that people can see people.
At this moment, Wang Li and Wang Lian ran from the village crying.
When the two of them saw Liu Wan in front of the courtyard, they were out of breath, their little faces were crying, and they couldn't speak for a while.
Liu Wan looked at their panicked looks, her heart sank, and she asked:
"What's wrong? Who bullied you? ”
"It's not who bullied us, it's the third brother who was arrested by Uncle Wang and tied up in the ancestral hall, Uncle Wang said that the brother is a thief and steals his family's things, and he wants to let the chief make the ancestral family law deal with the third brother."
"What? Third Uncle Wang actually said that your third brother is a thief? ”
Liu Wan was taken aback.
She knew that Wang Jingai was clever, but he was by no means a person of bad character.
These children, the most gratifying thing for her is that they have not become crooked, how can Wang Jing steal things?
And he was tied to the ancestral hall as soon as he was tied up by Uncle Wang, which is a very serious matter.
If it turns out that Wang Jing is a thief, he may be removed from the clan and driven out of the village.
This third uncle Wang is too ruthless, right?
Liu Wan didn't have time to say more, so she pulled her legs and ran to the ancestral hall, and after running for a while, she stopped, turned around and instructed the two little ones to say:
"Don't worry, hurry up and find your eldest brother in the field, let them go to the ancestral hall, your sister-in-law will take her body, let her go home and wait, don't go to the ancestral hall."
By the way, you go to call your grandfather separately, and let your three uncles go to the ancestral hall together, things are very important, you must remember. ”
"Okay."
The two children saw their mother stand up, and they felt a lot less panicked, wiped away their tears and went separately to find someone.
Liu Wan followed the memory of the original body, walked quickly all the way to the ancestral hall, and saw that the door of the ancestral hall, which was usually closed, was wide open at this time, and many people were surrounded inside and outside.
"I didn't steal Uncle Wang's things!" Wang Jing's crying voice came out.
"Nonsense, you kid is not authentic, as soon as I drink today, you will persuade me, saying that I should drink two more glasses.
At first, I thought you were filial, but then I saw that you persuaded you frequently, and I became suspicious.
So I pretended to drink, but I didn't drink much, and when I pretended to fall asleep with my eyes closed, this kid stole my wood for personal work. ”
Carpenter Wang's hearty voice came from the crowd.
When Liu Wan heard this, her heart sank, and she forcefully separated the crowd and squeezed in.
Everyone saw that it was Liu Wan, and after being stunned, they also retreated to both sides.
When Liu Wan entered the core of the crowd, she saw Wang Jing being tied with a straw rope and kneeling on the ground.
And the carpenter Wang on the side was arrogant, pointing at Wang Jing and scolding, and he also stepped forward to "snap" and slapped Wang Jing's face from time to time.
Wang carpenter hit, Wang Jing stubbornly refused to hide, and every slap hit him in the face.
The slap "snapped", and the first sound fell on Liu Wan's heart.
She was distressed.
"This kid usually looks quite honest, how could he do such a thing?"
Someone asked.
"Don't look at him as honest on the surface, but he is good in his heart, and he secretly learned the skills of Wang Carpenter."
"Alas, you say, what kind of good can the son of a rotten gambler be? Like his father, the mud couldn't hold up the wall. ”
The surrounding villagers were all talking, with disdain on their faces, and some people spat at Wang Jing.
