Chapter 123: Old Woman Chen's Influence
Fruit dumplings are the most delicious of the three fillings, and they have been well received, and Sister Ling wants to eat them tomorrow, but she gives up because other people's tastes don't like it.
It's okay, (#^.^#) grandmother will cook other delicious food anyway.
So, in the afternoon, Tang Zangyue made pork jerky.
The pork is made of lean meat, which needs to be beaten with a mallet, This work was done by Wang Xiaoliu and Xiao Jinghuan, and even Qian Aniu thought it was fun and came to help.
The beating process was very long, and Tang Zangyue went to the town and took the wooden table that had been customized from the gold carpenter. The wooden table is not very special, just because there are only two tables at home, and Sister Ling's birthday banquet can't be opened, so Tang Zangyue specially asked a gold carpenter to customize several round tables, and the middle of the round table is hollowed out to facilitate the placement of pots. Naturally, there are also unhollowed out ones, ready to be there.
I didn't buy much pot, but Sister Zhang relied on her own connections to help the Xiao family say in advance, and Sister Ling borrowed it in the village on her birthday. Those who borrow a big iron pot are happy, after all, their children want to have a good meal at the Xiao family, who is not short of food? What's more, the Xiao family is generous.
In addition to tables, chairs, and pots, there are also copper buckets that are convenient for throwing firewood or charcoal into the pots, and I also bought dried vegetables from other seasons.
After buying a lot of them and returning to Jiuli Village, I heard about Mrs. Chen's son, and it caused a lot of uproar, and even spread to the next village. After a long time, it can't be spread farther? For the sake of the reputation of Jiuli Village, the villagers went to the village chief's house to wait, asking for an explanation.
What is the statement?
There are marriages between villages and villages, and the daughter of this family marries that man, and it is prosperous for a long time. Jiuli Village's reputation is bad, will there be other village girls marrying in? In the future, it can only be produced and sold? How can that work!
Who doesn't have a dirty one? After getting along for a long time, they still get tired of each other, can they suffer this grievance because of an old woman Chen? Restricted because of Mrs. Chen?
Naturally, I want to ask for an explanation!
The one who didn't know the news, seeing the situation of the people in the village, thought that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
"You don't know yet, do you? The old lady Chen in our village has brought the atmosphere of the village bad, I went to my mother's house today, and my mother's family still inquired with me and asked me if the old woman Chen was ......."
"Isn't it what?"
"I don't even have that old face to say! Didn't her daughter-in-law take Dr. Tang's carriage to the town and let Dr. Xue help deliver the baby. When it was over, the two girls who watched the birth turned their faces and didn't recognize anyone, and they slandered Dr. Xue for seeing the light...... Ouch feed me go! I've never seen anything like this since I've grown up! For the sake of that idea, my daughter-in-law's reputation is gone, and my own face is gone! If it weren't for the fact that Dr. Xue was just a pulse at that time, and asked his daughter-in-law to help the little lady of the Chen family deliver the baby, I was afraid that he would have been falsely accused!
Originally, there was a scarcity of border doctors, what do you say she is trying to do? Even if you offend Dr. Tang, Dr. Xue dares to lie to it! An old-eyed thing! I see if she will have a serious illness or something at home in the future! ”
"You mean ......"
"There was a follow-up! Seeing that Dr. Xue's family has a big business and can't afford to pay the bill, she still wants the Xiao family's carriage to pull her to buy in the town and then go back to the village! ”
"Why are you so thick-skinned?"
"yes, I've never seen an old face so thick. However, Dr. Tang is not easy to bully, Dr. Xue asked people to come to ask for medical fees, and Wang Xiaoliu also came to ask for carriage fees. ”
"Carriage fees? How much, how much? ”
"Twenty copper plates."
The man gasped when he heard this, "Why is it so expensive?" ”
"Who's to say it isn't. Uncle Zhao's ox cart only needs one or two copper plates to catch the return trip, and now Uncle Zhao doesn't drive the ox cart anymore, and drives the Xiao family's carriage instead, so I can only walk a few hours to the town. I thought that if the carriage fare was cheaper, I could save some leg effort by taking a ride along the way, who would have thought it would be so expensive. ”
"Hitchhiker...... You are beautiful, people buy carriages for speed, and secondly, they do business in the town, and a lot of things need to be moved, let's go and rub it, even if we can afford to give those twenty copper plates, people don't have much space for you to sit on. ”
"That's just as well."
"Let's go for a walk, let's stop talking, let's go to the village chief's house together and ask for an explanation. If you don't treat Mrs. Chen well, the atmosphere in our Jiuli Village will be bad sooner or later! ”
"Wait for me."
……
The village chief felt a headache, if it weren't for the number of bowls at home, he would have to buy one of them, and he would have to smash the pots and pans at home like a vent.
"What is this for! I have to say something nice, don't you? ”
This ironic tone made Sister Zhang's temples twitch when she heard it.
Sister Zhang had to comfort: "This old woman Chen is indeed excessive, and she is not afraid of thunder." The reputation of the village is ruined, and I am afraid that my grandchildren will be harmed in the future, so the big guy is so scorched, and then he meets Mao Dong, and he has nothing to do...... You are good at persuading, they are all from the villagers, everyone is reasonable, but it is really not good, discuss with the clan uncle and them, and give the old woman Chen a little hardship. ”
The village chief gritted his teeth.
Now he doesn't just want to give the other party a little hardship, and the idea of expelling people from the family tree has it. But in the final analysis, this matter is a big problem, and it is only a matter of reputation, and behind closed doors, it is also her Chen family's own business.
Don't look at the people in the village who are making trouble with themselves now, but once the punishment is heavy, these people who are full and have nothing to do will blame him for being ruthless, and even think that if he encounters the same problem in the future, will he end up worse than Mrs. Chen.
Anyway, it's difficult to be the head of this village, you have to be fair and just, otherwise no one below will obey you.
provoked the annoyance, made trouble to the clan uncle, and took his hat off, and the next village chief might find trouble in office.
The village chief took a bite of the raw radish, bit it and stuffed the rest into Sister Zhang's hand, and said, "Okay, you hurry up and get busy with yours, I'll take a look." ”
The door was open, and the villagers were measured, and they didn't make a fuss in the courtyard, but the noise of conversation and commotion was mixed together, and it was more annoying than the chirping of cicadas in summer.
Village Chief: "Folks! I know that Mrs. Chen's approach this time has gone too far, and everyone wants to explain it...... But it's also their own business that people close the door, and we go with such fanfare, I'm afraid that we will have a reputation for bullying more and less. In this way, just one or two follow me to persuade and persuade, and the others will disperse! ”
"You can't just leave it at that!"
"That's right! Chief! You must give that old goddess a little hardship! Just because of her, my niece said that she would marry in our village, but as soon as I passed today, people turned around and said that they went to other villages! That's my niece! They can all change their minds! ”
"Village Chief! I don't want my son to be unable to talk about his family in the future! ”
"Yes, village chief, let her bleed! Otherwise, I don't know how thick the sky is! ”
When Mrs. Chen killed her two daughters-in-law, the village was not so lively, and it wasn't her broken reputation that affected the whole village? Otherwise, who is still in charge of other people's family affairs? Who doesn't live by themselves behind closed doors?
The village chief had no choice but to lead someone to knock on the door of the Chen family, and the others also wanted to follow, but they were all persuaded by the village chief to retreat.
The main thing is that I don't want to be named a bully.
Mrs. Chen scolded Dongju and Dongmei in the yard at this time, "The two of them lost money!" Who told you to feed her? I don't have a stomach and I gave birth to two money-losing goods! I also went to my home for most of the year's income! Why don't you kill that short-lived ghost! I'm miserable......"
