Chapter 47 The Village Chief Calls
Chapter 47 The village chief came
The car passed the official road and walked onto the stone path in the village. Wang Cuihua finally couldn't help it and asked Lin Gui: "Uncle Gui, your business has been good recently, you bought so much cloth!"
The woman next to her also laughed and said: "It seems that there is still business in driving oxcarts. I am a widow and it is difficult to eat. If I had a skill, I wouldn't have to live like this."
"Yes, many people in the village have been going to town recently. Those doing business and looking for work have to ride in bullock carts. Uncle Gui is fifty this year, right? After your wife left, you didn't think about looking for her again.
one?"
"..."
Lin Gui had a dark look on his face, and his conniving expression became very cold.
He looked at the two of them and said in a cold tone: "I am half buried in the loess, and you are still talking to me! You are making fun of my old man!"
"Aunt Jiang bought these things, I'm just a driver."
Lin Gui spat angrily and whipped Lao Niu. These jealous village women! If he weren't a big man, he would have scolded them.
Don't think that he doesn't know what this widow is planning! They are all widows, but Aunt Jiang is much more honest!
"What are you talking about? Jiang Yan bought it! Her? How is that possible!" Wang Cuihua shouted in disbelief. The old cow got slapped in the hair and ran forward a few steps, almost knocking her down.
She lowered her head to look at the brand-new fabric, and then stared at Jiang Yan, wishing she could poke a hole in it! How could Jiang Yan still have money? All her money was clearly spent on Wenhan's education! Could it be that the old widow was hiding her private money?
Jiang Yan grinned.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? You didn't expect it to be mine, did you?"
"Tsk tsk, I guess you are thinking, how do I still have money? Why don't I give it all to your son Lin Wenhan?" As she said that, Jiang Yan turned her face aside and said fiercely: "Except this fabric belongs to me, you pinched it several times just now.
The bag is mine too! It’s full of brown rice! But these have nothing to do with your Lao Lin family!”
Wang Cuihua's eyes were on fire and her face was contorted with anger. Without answering Jiang Yan's words, she said that the bag didn't look like buckwheat or corn when pinched. It turned out that half of the bag was made of brown rice.
For the sake of Wen Han's support, their family has been eating wild vegetables and steamed buns every day for the past two months. They haven't had a full stomach for a long time, let alone brown rice! But this damn Jiang Yan! She actually has money to buy so much rice!
"Aunt Jiang, are you getting rich? Are your tofu sales so good?" The woman on the side was extremely jealous. She had no grudge against Jiang Yan, so she immediately moved her buttocks and deliberately sat closer to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan pretended to be warm and said: "Hi~, I met a big customer today and bought a lot for my family to eat. Otherwise we wouldn't close the stall so quickly. If it were a weekday, we would have to wait until the afternoon!"
The two of them chatted incessantly, and Jiang Yan just responded to whatever the woman asked.
Jealousy makes people look beyond recognition. Wang Cuihua gritted her teeth when she heard this, wishing she could take all these things home!
Looking at Jiang Yan, she smiled coldly and told the old lady when she got back, "I don't believe it. I can't cure you, and the old lady can't cure you!"
Jiang Yan's family had just returned home, and the whole village knew about the money she had made. All of a sudden, everyone started gossiping, and some were already wandering around Lin's house.
"Mom, the village chief came to look for you this morning, but he went back when you weren't there." Wang Jinhua laid out the table and prepared rice while telling Jiang Yan about the village affairs.
"I understand. Let's eat first. I'll go find the village chief after dinner."
Wang Jinhua and Xiao Meng looked sad: "The water in the village has been cut off today, and many people have gone to other villages to borrow water."
"Right now, Jiangjiazhai and Liujiacun have a lot of water, and the nearby villages that don't have water have to borrow it from them."
Jiang Yan nodded and asked: "How to borrow it? Should I exchange it with food? Or use money? What is the exchange method?"
"They want everything. Food can be exchanged for copper coins. If food is given, it is two kilograms of corn and one load of water. If it is given in copper coins, it is five cents per bucket and ten cents per load of water."
Jiang Yan frowned. To the villagers, this was simply robbery. This value was neither too low nor too high, just within the range that Lin Village could accept.
If you save two pounds of corn, you can eat a few meals for your family. But you can go without food or water for several days, but there is no way not to drink water. Even if the villagers are angry and can no longer accept it, they can only borrow water obediently.
"Boss, you feed the old cow. After eating, you go to Jiangjiazhai, return the old cow to Lao Litou's family, and then borrow a load of water back."
Jiang Yan went back to her room, bought five kilograms of corn in the mall, and then came out and handed it to Lin Dong: "I was able to find Xiao Wu last time, thanks to Lao Niu from Lao Li Tou's family. There are five kilograms of corn here, two kilograms for you.
Borrow the water and give the rest to Lao Litou."
Lin Dong nodded, took the rice bag, and said seriously: "Mom, don't worry, I will send the cow back in a while, and I will also thank Grandpa Li properly."
The meals were all prepared, and some pigs were left in the water yesterday. The eldest daughter-in-law was reluctant to eat them, so Jiang Yan brought them all to the table. In this weather, they wouldn't last long, so she ate everything that could be eaten.
Just as we were about to start dinner, Xiaozizi walked in with his clothes in his pocket: "Xiaodouzi, Xiaodouzi... Grandma asked me to bring you eggs."
Xiaodouzi ran into the yard in a hurry, rummaged around in Xiaodouzi's clothes pocket, and took out two round eggs.
"Thank you for the eggs, Coyotito. Your snot dripped onto your mouth again. My grandma said that eating too much snot will cause diarrhea! Suck it back quickly!"
As soon as Xiaodouzi raised his head, he saw Coyotito's translucent and white snot. He had a look of disgust on his face, his little face squeezed out a bunch of wrinkles, and he kept asking Coyotito to suck it back.
Coyotito was also obedient. He listened to Xiaodouzi's instructions and tried his best to suck it back in! His little body swayed due to too much force, and he sneezed out, and then he blew a snot bubble from his nose!
Jiang Yan was shocked to see it!
He immediately looked away and suppressed his nausea.
"Jinhua, hurry up, cut a bowl of pork into the water, and send this little guy home with you!" Otherwise, I won't be able to eat! I really won't be able to eat!
Wang Jinhua hurriedly ran to cut the meat. Seeing her mother-in-law's forbearing look, she didn't know why it was funny, but she didn't dare to laugh, so she had to hold it in hard, and then sent Coyotito home.
Lin Bei's mind turned around and he said with a smile: "Auntie! Did you see Coyotito blowing his nose to make bubbles? Let me tell you, I also saw him blowing a bigger one. After the bubbles in his nose were broken, he was mushy.
Give him a slap in the face..."
!!
"Okay! Stop talking!"
It feels like a picture!
"We'll wait until Jinhua comes back before eating. I'll feed Erbi. Xiaosi, you feed Xiaowu first. Make sure he finishes eating."
She carried the bowl into the back room. Jiang Erbi was still lying on the bed, with his dark eyes open. After applying medicine, they were not so swollen today, and he could vaguely see that he was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Are you feeling better today?"
"Okay, okay, little aunt, I got out of bed today, but my sister-in-law and the others won't let me come down." Erbi smiled lightly, his heart full of gratitude to Jiang Yan, and he wished he could help now.
Work at home so that you can repay Jiang Yan immediately.
