Chapter 18 Shovel people away
Chapter 18 Mrs. An is really going to cry and faint
At this time, the village chief came to Zeng Tian's house with a group of people, but there was no one from Lao An's family.
"Xiu Yuan's daughter-in-law, we'll get people away now."
Zeng Tian saw a few strong laborers, each holding a shovel in their hands, shouting slogans, shoveling Zhang Hemiao onto a wooden board in one go, as easy as shoveling soil.
"Let's go, send people back to Lao An's house first."
Zeng Tian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as she didn't send people to the hospital, so that she could let Zhang Hemiao continue to live in this lie.
"Aunt Chunmei, what will happen to my sister-in-law in the future?"
Han Chunmei looked outside the courtyard and closed the courtyard door before whispering to Zeng Tian.
"I asked your uncle just now, and he said that the result of the discussion in the brigade was that this matter should be suppressed, and Zhang Hemiao would lock up Lao An's house for a period of time."
"Aren't you going to the hospital?"
"What do you see, don't say that Lao An's family won't pay for her, if it's really a monster, our brigade will not be famous, and in the future, who will be willing to marry in other brigades."
Can it involve the marriage of the brigade? This was something Zeng Tian didn't expect.
"Girl, you have a good rest, and when you are free, go to my aunt's house to chat with me. I also have a girl who is about your age, and she comes back from the county school every week, so you two can be friends everywhere when the time comes. ”
"Okay, I don't have a friend yet."
Han Chunmei patted her arm with pity when she thought of the life this child had spent in her mother's house.
"You can slowly make friends in the future, there are still a lot of good children in our brigade."
Zeng Tian sent people away with a smile, closed the door and went to the kitchen to start boiling water and stewing chicken soup, and now the stew does not delay a good meal in the evening.
As for the results of Lao An's family's search of the whole village, she didn't care, but thinking of the space, Zeng Tian felt that she had an excuse to go to the county seat.
Zeng Tian immediately became full of vitality, picked up the pheasant and smelled it, soaked the chicken in boiling water and awkwardly plucked the chicken feathers.
In her previous life, she had a nanny to solve her meals, and her cooking skills were still learned in the three months of rebirth, and things like killing chickens and pulling chicken feathers were generally handled by selling chickens.
As long as the original owner's family eats chickens, her stepmother will usually take over it herself, so she doesn't have this skill in her memory, and she has only seen the process of killing chickens.
When Zeng Tian disposed of the whole chicken, her waist would be tired, and she swore that she would leave these things to others in the future, otherwise she would never suffer from wild things again, anyway, the chickens handled in her space could be piled up into a mountain.
The only thing that can be fishy at home is ginger, stewed chicken soup with clear water, the original taste, I hope it tastes good.
After taking care of everything and letting the chicken soup simmer slowly, Zeng Tian was really hot and closed the kitchen door and went back to the house to lie down for a while.
People can't sleep, and they have been thinking about the arrangements to go to the county seat in their minds, and they don't know how An Xiuyuan will react when he hears what is going on at home.
"How did you get people here?"
Mrs. An went home with a dead face, because the whole village searched and did not see her treasure box. As soon as they entered the house, they saw the eldest daughter-in-law lying in the yard, and immediately shouted at the village chief.
The village chief, the brigade and the branch secretary all looked at Mrs. An lazily, as if they were ready to fight her.
"Your people don't get anywhere in your house."
"Bad luck thing, you can throw it wherever you want."
"Hmph, I knew you were a bad guy before, but now it seems that you are poisonous, I really don't know why An Honglin married you like this."
An Chengfeng, the village party secretary, is the oldest, and he can be regarded as the brother of the deceased An Honglin, who has not been born in five suits, and he can have the highest prestige among those surnamed An.
Mrs. An's face was dark, and she even mentioned that person with hatred in her eyes.
"I'm poisonous, yes, I have to be poisoned, how can I raise these children without poison. He An Honglin left us early, he was comfortable with himself, who thought about my suffering. ”
The old branch secretary stood up angrily, and pointed at Mrs. An's hands trembling.
"Honglin didn't leave you a large amount of compensation, not to mention raising four children, even if it is enough to raise ten, the whole village will be comfortable for you."
Mrs. An does not deny this, anyway, she has never lacked money in her hands, but who can understand her suffering, the little girl has been widowed since she was one year old.
The old branch secretary was a little more angry when he saw that Mrs. An didn't speak, but her tone was very tough.
"Honglin's family, a few of us are here to inform you. Your eldest daughter-in-law is locked in the house from now on, and you can't let people out of the house until we think of a way to deal with it, and you can't let people go hungry. ”
"No, we don't want a waste that can't do anything, you can send her back to her parents' house directly, I decided to divorce my eldest family."
"Nonsense, how can you divorce casually when you have two children, and Zhang He Miao's family can agree?"
Mrs. An threw her hands directly into the house, she didn't care, now that the family has no money, she won't raise waste.
"Stop, who allowed you to leave?"
This time it was Li Mutian who opened the mouth of the brigade, and the person who was in charge of all the work issues in the entire brigade, Mrs. An really didn't dare to offend.
"We spent nothing with you in the brigade this afternoon, but you didn't find anything, and you still want us to help you take care of your daughter-in-law, don't you?
Do you want me to punish your whole family for living in a barn from today, and I will directly deduct your family's work when we distribute the grain? ”
Murakami smoked a dry cigarette on the sidelines, and he didn't even lift his eyelids. In the past, no one looked for trouble with Lao An's family, and that was because An Xiuyuan, the child, saved everyone's lives when the village was in trouble, but only the three of them and a few old people knew about it.
Otherwise, the old An family will only be more rampant, but now An Xiuyuan personally told him that he will not participate in the affairs of the An family in the future, and he will not care, let alone save face for him, so what else is he polite, he has already endured enough.
"You see, I didn't say anything, I can't listen to you. The eldest and second hurriedly carried this mourning star to the firewood room, locked the door for me, and didn't hurt the children. ”
An Xiucheng and An Xiuming hesitated and didn't dare to step forward.
"Don't hurry up yet."
The team can't look down on waste, it's not good to work, it's not good to be brave, it's embarrassing to lose a man's face, how can it be a family with such a good child as Xiuyuan.
After the watcher was carried in, the captain motioned to the old branch secretary to continue, and after speaking, he could go to do some more work.
"Lao An's family, the team has already discussed it, today's incident is because of your family, and if you don't find it, you will compensate everyone for their work, or everyone has it."
As soon as Mrs. An wanted to sit on the ground and howl, she was glared at by the captain fiercely, and her open mouth quickly closed.
"The whole brigade has a total of 849 people, except for children and people who cannot go to work, and each person will be compensated 10 points, so you will be deducted 8,490 points."
"Well, I don't agree, and we don't have that much work."
"If you don't agree, you will move out of the brigade with your family, and I will immediately remove your household registration."
Mrs. An really didn't care about anything, so she just sat on the ground and howled.
"The third child, come back and save your mother, they want to bully the dead mother."
The village chief tapped the leg of the chair with his cigarette stick, but the howl did not become quieter at all.
"Hmph, don't talk about An Xiuyuan this time, it's useless even if the county leaders come. This year's work points are all deducted, and the remaining ones are not enough, and they will be paid within seven days. ”
After saying that, the three of them left, and Mrs. An really cried this time. Not to mention that the money is gone, you have to lose money, and there are still three patients lying at home, how can you live this life.
"Milk, I'm hungry."
"I'm hungry too."
A few children gathered around again.
"Get out, get out of here."
And Zhang Hemiao, who was lying in the firewood room, also closed her eyes and shed tears, she saw her mother-in-law's words and her man's behavior just now, and she also remembered it in her heart.
Zeng Tian finally drank the chicken soup she had been thinking about, although it only sprinkled some salt, it tasted quite good, the soup was stewed white, and she drank two large bowls in one breath to be satisfied.
There is still enough left in the pot for her to eat two meals, and she will go to the county seat after lunch tomorrow, so maybe she will not come at night, and she will pester An Xiuyuan to sleep for another night.
Late at night, An Xiuyuan lay on the bed in the dormitory and couldn't fall asleep, he dreamed in his dream last night that his daughter-in-law was being bullied and cried non-stop, and kept calling his name to say help her, so he was a little afraid to sleep tonight.
Although he knew that it was unlikely that his daughter-in-law would be bullied, because he had just taught his second brother a lesson, his eldest brother in the family was even more cowardly, and the village chief would also go over to see it from time to time.
But he didn't know what was going on, he just didn't dare to sleep, and it was already one o'clock in the morning when he looked at his watch. Sighing, I sat up and didn't sleep at all, turned on the lamp and lay down in front of the desk to draw.
I didn't feel sleepy until almost four o'clock, and I quickly fell asleep when I got back into bed. But his daughter-in-law's crying still didn't let him go, and when the bell rang to get up, he had a terrible headache.
sat up and slowed down for a while, but An Xiuyuan's heart became more and more uneasy, so he quickly got up and went to the workshop to wash up briefly, he had to hurry up and see if he could go back tonight.
Zeng Tian slept well all night, she got up early and went to the backyard of the house to start exercising, this body can't fully exert her true strength now, so the exercise plan starts today.
After only practicing the combination twice, he couldn't hold on, and his legs trembled. Zeng Tian reluctantly insisted on finishing the stretch before stopping.
"Xiu Yuan's daughter-in-law, Xiu Yuan's daughter-in-law."
Zeng Tian heard the voice as if it was Aunt Chunmei, and ran to open the door without bothering to wipe his sweat.
"Yo, what's wrong with you, why is your face so red?"
Han Chunmei worriedly reached out to probe Zeng Tian's forehead, but touched the sweat on her hand.
"I'm just idle and tidy up the house, maybe it's too empty to be tired after a while."
"Look at you, they all say that you should have a good rest, when will you not be able to do your work."
Zeng Tian smiled patiently and listened to the teachings, it turned out that listening to the elders' preaching was like this, and she still felt that it sounded good.
Han Chunmei also likes Zeng Tian, no matter what she says, she nods obediently.
"Girl, I came because your uncle asked me to pass a message to you."
She roughly talked about the situation of Lao An's house yesterday.
"What your uncle means is that you have to go and give Xiu Yuan a reminder, the current situation of the Lao An family can't wait for Xiu Yuan to come back next time, what if they shamelessly go to the unit to make trouble with him?"
If he was really sleepy, someone would send him a pillow, Zeng Tian looked worried.
"Auntie, I'll go now, can you tell me how to get to the county seat? I haven't been there yet. ”
"You haven't been to the county seat?"
This poor child, their family has even been there for a few years old.
"Then I'll go with you, don't let you get lost and get in trouble."
"No, no, I can ask people when I get to the county seat, as long as I know how to get there."
The two talked for a long time before Han Chunmei reluctantly agreed, and told the way to the county seat several times before she was relieved.
"Here, this is a letter of introduction from your uncle, and you can stay in a guest house if you can't come back at night."
Zeng Tian quickly scanned the letter of introduction with wide eyes, and it seemed that it would be inconvenient to go out in the future.
After sending off the person and showing off two bowls of chicken soup, Zeng Tian put a layer of sunscreen on his face before going out, and he would wait to bask in the sun for an hour or two.
When she passed by the old house, she hated to fly over, so as not to be entangled by anyone who saw her again. But she still heard the crying in the old house, and in an instant she was in a good mood and almost hummed a little song.
Aunt Chunmei said that the ox cart for the brigade to go to the county seat is only once a week, and it is still available every Friday morning, and today happens to be Thursday, and it can only rely on two legs.
Along the way, Zeng Tian rested twice before arriving at the county seat, looking for a stone to sit on the side of the road, looking at the block of the county seat at a glance to the end, state-owned hotels, supply and marketing cooperatives, and post offices are not far away, the rest is pedestrians dressed in shabby clothes, and from time to time there are proud people riding bicycles passing by.
But such a small county town makes Zeng Tian very satisfied, at least there is a place to go shopping, how can a girl not like shopping, it is better than staring at home all day long.
She didn't rush to find An Xiuyuan, but first prepared to visit the county seat.
The supply and marketing cooperatives are the first ones who want to visit, but after walking in, it is completely different from what Zeng Tian thought, there are two clerks, and the counter is still built with wooden boards, and you can see all the goods at a glance.
There are three kinds of pastries, two water bottles, a stack of tea jars, and some matches, candles, needles and threads.
The condiments are all in large barrels, and whoever wants to take as many bottles as they want. Wine comes in bottles and in bulk, but don't think about what kind of wine it is.
Five types of fabrics, three types of shoes, black cloth shoes, liberation shoes, and rubber shoes.
It's over, and that's it, there's nothing. Zeng Tian suddenly had a feeling that she couldn't spend any money, and left in a circle in disappointment.
Looking down at the ready-to-wear clothes on his body, he didn't know where An Xiuyuan bought it, anyway, he didn't see anything sold in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Just when Zeng Tian was wandering aimlessly, two familiar faces suddenly flashed in his mind, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be the stepmother and stepsister of the original owner.
She quickly turned around and walked to the alley next to her, now is not the time to directly confront them, when she is stronger, she will meet them in person, after all, the life of the original owner is dead in their hands, and it can be regarded as a bond with the original owner.
