Chapter 198 Complaint
Chapter 198 Complaint
Before he came here, he only had a little thought about Jiang's snack shop.
But seeing so many customers in the shop, even on a hot day.
There were actually a dozen people who would rather stand outside in the sun and sweat all over than not queue up to eat.
He was stunned.
Therefore, he became more and more eager to take possession of the food from Jiang's snack shop.
"It's that seasoning. I don't know what's in it, but it should be salt and chili pepper. I also smell a hint of pepper, but pepper is only sold in a spice shop in Wanliang Lane, Caishi Street.
But it's very expensive. A small bag costs one or two taels of silver. Would the Jiang family be willing to use such expensive spices to grill meat and vegetables? They wouldn't make any money. So I'm not sure what seasoning was used in the barbecue. It smells really good. No wonder so many people line up to eat it."
Wan tutted.
She smacked her lips.
Some greedy.
"Look at your surprised look. I thought it was something else. It's just a spice. It's simple. They live outside the city. They have to leave before the city gate closes. Didn't you say they have a bullock cart? I just took a quick look and the bed in the backyard of the shop was full of things. No one must be staying there at night.
Tonight, let's go and search for it while it's dark, and we'll find out. My son is at home today, so bring him along and I'll be on the lookout. If anyone sees any seasoning, just steal it. As long as we don't say anything, no one will know it was us who stole it."
Bai Qianshan's eyes rolled.
I thought of a solution.
For safety reasons, he didn't plan to go in. If he was caught, he would have to go to jail.
At that time, he would stand outside to keep watch and run away when he saw someone coming.
As for the daughter-in-law and son.
He is too lazy to care.
Anyway, this son is useless, so at worst he can raise a grandson.
Besides, he was planning to marry a new wife and have a few more sons.
Wanzhen didn't know what Bai Qianshan was thinking.
She nodded.
agreed.
The two then left the alley and headed home.
At the same time, in Jiangjia Village outside the city.
Jiang Guangyi and Chen Qiuju, who had just finished their farm work, returned home dragging their tired bodies.
The two were as tired as dead dogs.
In the past, when the eldest son and his family were around, they didn't have to do any work in the fields.
Chen Qiuju, who had enjoyed a happy life at home for almost ten years, almost fainted from exhaustion.
They were only weeding the fields and watering the plants, but this easy job almost cost them their lives.
The other villagers had finished their work in the morning and went home.
It was just the two of them, and they worked until almost noon.
The sun was burning like fire.
The crops in the fields are all wilting due to the sun.
Not to mention them.
There was not a dry spot on the two men's bodies.
His clothes were soaked with sweat and his hair was like a newborn puppy, sticking tightly to his scalp.
As soon as the sun shines.
All reflective.
"Erniu, bring me and your grandfather some water. Make sure it's cold, and hurry up."
Just got home.
Chen Qiuju slumped on the bench.
She was breathing heavily.
The old face flushed red.
The tone was also extremely impatient.
Zhou Gai'er's eldest daughter Jiang Erniu was originally chopping firewood in the backyard.
She heard her grandma calling her.
He quickly put down the hatchet and went to the kitchen to get a basin.
The water tank is in the yard.
She lifted the wooden lid and scooped half a basin of water over.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiuju became furious.
She raised the basin and poured water all over Jiang Erniu.
"You idiot, your grandfather and I are dying of thirst. I asked you to bring some water, but you put it in a basin. How can we drink it? You are dumber than a pig. On normal days, you can't get anything out of it with a stick. Now I ask you to do some work as if you are asking for your life. Hurry up and get a ladle and scoop some water. Do you want us to die of thirst?"
Jiang Erniu picked up the basin tremblingly and turned to change the ladle. She didn't dare to say a word.
Chen Qiuju was still cursing.
"You are such an ungrateful bastard. We raised you with so much effort, and this is how you repay us? You just eat and sleep all day long. What other girl is like you? You can't do anything and don't know how to help us. Your mother is sick, do you want to learn to be lazy like your mother? I think you are too stubborn and you deserve a beating!"
The more Chen Qiuju talked, the more excited she became.
She picked up a broom and waited for Jiang Erniu to bring water so that she could hit her.
Jiang Erniu had tears in her eyes.
Her mouth opened slightly, but she didn't say a word.
She was not lazy. She did everything. She got up before dawn to feed the chickens and wash clothes. She also had to go to the mountain to chop wood and find food for the chickens. There was a lot of work waiting for her to do. How could she be lazy?
She has been working for as long as she can remember.
Two tears as big as pearls fell into the water tank.
As long as she goes over.
I will definitely be beaten by grandma.
Jiang Erniu was extremely scared.
Just as she took several deep breaths and prepared to go over with the ladle to greet the broom.
My younger sister Si Niu ran to grandma and complained.
"Oh no, grandma. My third sister let mom and my brother go. When my second sister and I went to the mountain to chop wood and dig wild vegetables, I forgot to bring a basket, so I went back to ask for it. I saw it by chance. My third sister also told mom to run faster so that you won't find her. Mom is probably already in town."
Jiang Siniu originally didn't want to tell this matter.
But she couldn't bear to see her second sister being beaten.
I can only ask grandma to find someone else to beat her.
"what?"
Chen Qiuju didn't even have time to drink the water.
She threw the broom away.
He stood up from the stool, holding onto the door frame.
Rushed into the youngest son's room.
Looked around.
There is no one inside.
Not only that.
The cupboards in the room were all open.
There was not a single piece of clothing left inside.
"This damn bitch just left us like this. She's fine, she's gone to enjoy herself, leaving so many acres of land for us old couple to work on. How can we do it? Where's Sanniu? Where's that damn girl? Before I left this morning, I asked her to clean the yard at home, why is she nowhere to be seen?"
Chen Qiuju slapped her thigh.
Crying and singing.
Her anger reached its peak.
The thin broom was thrown away by her.
She ran to the backyard, found a piece of thick firewood, and looked everywhere for Sanniu.
Coincidentally.
Seeing that no one was at home, Jiang Sanniu, who had sneaked out to play, just came back.
"You damned girl, how dare you come back? Erniu, close the door quickly!"
Chen Qiuju shouted loudly.
Jiang Erniu quickly closed the door.
Jiang Sanniu took several steps back, her heart skipping a beat.
Secret passage is not good.
"Bang——" Just as she was about to beg for mercy, Chen Qiuju hit her on the butt with a stick.
The burning pain made her unable to stand.
Sitting paralyzed on the ground.
"Wow, it hurts, it hurts so much, don't hit me, grandma, I didn't do anything, I wasn't lazy, I went to the mountain to pick wild vegetables, don't hit me, it must be my sister who was lazy, it was her, I was working the whole time."
Jiang Sanniu was crying.
In the past, whenever she used this trick, Jiang Siniu always had to take the blame.
Unfortunately, this trick doesn’t work today.
After all, Jiang Siniu filed the complaint first.
