Chapter 59 A new member of the Li family
Chapter 59 New members of the Li family
“Who knows?” The scolding woman was not someone to be bullied, so she banged the pots and pans hard.
"Who has a gambler living in his house, don't you know? Everyone should be careful when putting things away. They are afraid of being touched accidentally! They don't feel the smell themselves, so they just open their eyes and pretend to be confused!"
“That’s it!” Another woman also echoed.
"Just now, I saw with my own eyes a certain gambler walking away with grain on his back. Needless to say, what he was doing was selling the grain to play a few games! Everyone thinks that everyone is just like your family, carrying a few kilograms of grain as a treasure !”
Some people even called the host’s old lady.
"Ms. Gao, what kind of hard work did you find? You can't ignore everyone just because of her. We have been renting your house for several years! Who can offend such a donkey dung egg that spoils a pot of soup? It’s not a comfortable stay.”
The old lady who is also the landlord of this courtyard glared at Wu Cuihua and snorted coldly.
"Shut your **** mouth, if you dare to cause trouble again, I'll knock your teeth out! Have you finished washing your clothes today? Why don't you go to work!"
Wu Cuihua was furious, but she was even more afraid of how she would survive the next month without food!
Shamelessly, she stepped forward and begged the old lady for a long time, and then she withdrew another ten kilograms of grain. From now on, she would deduct one kilogram every month and make up for it slowly.
There was a fuss and an hour wasted. She worked until dark before she finished all the work.
At midnight, Wu Ergou came back dejected.
As a result, the house is cold and the stove is cold. Not to mention the food, there was not even a sip of hot water.
He became angry and got angry!
“What do you do at home all day? Why don’t you cook or boil water?”
Wu Cuihua jumped up directly from the cold bed.
“You still have the nerve to say that? I want to cook, but how? Where is the food! Where did you take the food! Return it to me quickly!”
Wu Ergou woke up and then remembered that he had sold the grain.
His eyes rolled around as he responded.
“How do I know? Did you forget where to put it?”
Wu Cuihua couldn't bear it anymore, so she stepped forward and gave him a slap in the face.
"You're a murderer, you only know how to gamble! That's my monthly ration, you dare to steal even this! What will you do in the future, drink the northwest wind? You still have the nerve to eat when you enter the house! You have been eating It’s my food!”
Wu Ergou was hurt by the beating and was unhappy, so he threw his sister away.
"What are you making a fuss about? Isn't it just a little grain? I will buy you two hundred catties if I win money later!"
“Why don’t you die! You still have two hundred catties, but I haven’t seen two catties! What will we do in the future, shall we starve to death together?”
Wu Cuihua sat on the kang and cried loudly. I really don’t know why I got such a gambling brother.
The family is so single, her parents are both dead, how can she really kill her younger brother?
Obviously, Wu Ergou also knew this. He lay down on the bed and didn't care how his sister cried.
He yawned while giving an idea, "Tomorrow, just go back to Li's house and ask for some."
Wu Cuihua turned around and kicked him.
"How dare you say that! I was kicked out of the Li family, who should I blame? It's not you who got involved!"
Wu Ergou didn't care, "You gave birth to two grandsons for the Li family. They really dare to starve you to death!"
Wu Cuihua didn't say anything. Thinking about Mrs. Li and Mr. Li, she was really frightened.
But if the food is gone, we can’t starve to death.
Finally she stayed up all night, and the next day with her rumbling stomach, she was so cruel that she kowtowed to the old lady of the host family, finally asked for a half-day leave, and returned to Qingshui Village.
The weather is warm, and the villagers can't sit still. Old and young people go to the fields from time to time.
As a result, everyone looked strange when they met Wu Cuihua on the road.
Some people guessed that Wu Cuihua came back to cause trouble, so they took a detour to the back road and ran away.
Old Mrs. Li carried the good news on her back with a bamboo pole and was also tidying up the vegetable garden behind.
Even though a few old men promised to do the work in the vegetable garden, they were either without arms or legs, and no one could bear to see them.
So, if you can help more, leave less for them.
The villagers came running and shouted from afar, "Madam, Wu Cuihua is back. Looking at her like that, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
Mrs. Li frowned and the villagers thanked her. She hurried back to the front yard, where Jiaxi Jiaan was chopping firewood, and she was not honest in her work.
The two competed to see who could chop the firewood into finer pieces, and almost smashed their fingers.
Just when they were getting scared, they saw grandma coming out in a hurry, and they were startled.
Without waiting to say anything, Wu Cuihua had already arrived at the door, "Mom, um... I'll come back to see you!"
Without saying a word, Mrs. Li picked up the pole in the corner of the courtyard and rushed out.
Jiaxi Jiaan was stunned for a moment, and then touched the door bolt and the sweeping broom.
Three grandparents, plus a good news, Wu Cuihua was beaten like a mouse running away.
She didn’t expect that her family would be so cruel and would beat her whenever they saw her.
At this moment, I wished I could spread my legs more, but I was still hit by two carrying poles, and the pain was excruciating.
She wanted to wait for her son to come back and help him to plead for mercy, but she waited until noon and saw no one.
After finally asking the villagers, she found out that Jiaren had not returned from studying and Jiayi had gone to work as a escort.
This is hopeless!
Wu Cuihua also wanted to lose her face and go to the door of Li's house to cause trouble.
As a result, Li Laoer and Li Laosi drove a strong mule back from a distance.
She was so frightened that she hid quickly!
Li Laoer made it clear when he sent her to do hard work.
If she dared to go home and cause trouble, he would strangle her to death and throw her into the river.
She has no support from her natal family, and her younger brother is selfish.
At that time, no one will dare to stand up for her, and his death will be in vain!
At that moment, the hatred and disgust in Li Laoer's eyes made her dare not doubt...
The courtyard door of the Li family was finally opened because the son came back.
The villagers followed, and at this time they all poured into the yard to watch the fun.
"How much money was spent on this mule? It is so strong."
“Yes, it won’t be a problem to use it for seven or eight years.”
"This is much more useful than the village chief's donkey."
Li Laosi didn't like it, so he gave the mule water and brushed its fur.
Jiaxi Jiaan also wanted to come forward, but was pulled aside by Li Laoer.
"Be careful of getting kicked! When there is green grass in a few days, you can lead it out more often. Once it gets familiar with you, it won't kick around."
Jiaxi Jiaan nodded quickly and watched from a distance.
Jia'an couldn't help but shouted, "Dad, let me ride."
Li Laosi is the most pampered child. He hugged his nephew and son and sat on the back of the mule with a smile.
The two boys were so happy that they didn’t dare to move. It was very funny.
But in the village, the children's eyes were red with envy, and they desperately grabbed their father's hand and shook it as hard as they could.
Finally, all the naughty boys present were picked up and made into little warriors riding donkeys.
The mule has a bad temper. He turns his lips and is very irritable.
Fortunately, Mrs. Li found a cabbage and threw it over.
When the mule has good food, he can tolerate the naughty boys.
The old men next door heard the commotion and came over to watch the fun.
They are people who have been on the battlefield, and they are more intimate with animals.
Uncle Zhao simply said, "Fourth brother, there are many children in your yard. It is inconvenient to raise such a big animal. Why not put it in our yard and we will help take care of it."
"Yeah, you don't have to worry about cleaning the manure and feeding the grass. We can still do such small tasks." The other old men also agreed.
