Protagonist:
Chai Mi
Even Chai Zhongxiao, who had lived sixty-odd years, was seeing something this disgusting for the first time in his life.
No, that's not right.
It was a situation this disgusting……
Wang Huirong had a head full of cow dung soup, and the most crucial thing was……
Chai Zhongxiao finally had the three-lifetime fortune to see a genuine…… person who sprayed shit from their mouth.
Although this person was his wife, Wang Huirong.
Wang Huirong, who was currently spraying shit from her mouth, had also already disgusted herself into a stupor; she clutched her head bleeding from glass shards with one hand while retching dryly with the other, her hair and clothes also messed up disgustingly.
Chai You De, who had been sleeping inside the house, listened dazedly to the noise outside, then leaned on the window trying to see what was going on.
As a result……
The window had no glass, and he tumbled out head-over-heels directly.
Chai You De's leg still hadn't healed; when the pain made him cry out in alarm, he saw his mother transforming into a dung-spraying warrior……
Chai You De's face twisted completely……
Perhaps the alcohol Chai You De drank hadn't worn off yet, and he came out with: "Mom, what are you doing? How come you're grabbing cow dung to eat? Our family hasn't fallen to that level yet……"
Wang Huirong was already in a sorry state, and now she flew into a rage and cursed viciously: "Don't know which son of a bitch used a ladle to scoop up watery cow dung!"
Chai You De: "Uh……"
What's wrong with being hardworking and brave? The cow dung in the ladle was put there by Chai You De, but Chai You De didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
That ladle was just placed there……
Anyone with eyes could see it……
But Chai You De could also tell Wang Huirong's temper was huge today; he didn't want to invite bad luck, so he cursed along: "It must be my eldest brother who sent the cow dung for you, Mom……"
"My eldest brother did this on purpose! He just wants to make you eat cow dung!!!"
Anyway, Chai You De didn't think anyone would believe it was because he was diligent today; after all, Chai You De drank three times a day, either drunk or on the road to getting drunk.
Rather, it was Chai Youqing who often sent firewood to the old house.
With Chai You De saying this, Wang Huirong actually believed it.
Wang Huirong didn't dare curse Chai Zhongxiao for slapping her with a big slap causing her to eat cow dung; she only dared curse Chai Youqing: "Chai Youqing, you turtle bastard, I raised you with handfuls of shit and piss, and look at you now, deliberately pulling this……"
Piling up this heap of watery cow dung to make me eat it?
To repay me for raising you with handfuls of shit and piss?
This is utterly heartless!!!"
He's truly "filial"!!!"
Chai You De also added fuel to the fire from the side: "Mom, let me tell you, my eldest brother is passable, mainly that girl Chai Mi, she truly doesn't recognize her six relatives and her heart is full of nothing but vicious schemes! Look at what she's done recently: first she broke my leg, I'm magnanimous so I didn't hold it against her, but she escalated further, injured Dajun's leg with a sickle, and incited my second sister-in-law to fight you. Chai Mi is simply rotten to the core!!! She's even worse than that ancient Wu Zetian, even more ne!"
(ne, dialect. A word even more severe than bad and evil.)
Then Chai You De shifted his tone: "With Chai Mi like this, no one dares speak of her. Later when she finds a husband's family, won't she cause chaos and disorder."
"Who wants her, tall and skinny like a bamboo pole." Wang Huirong said impatiently: "I also think it was that turtle bastard Chai Mi's idea, making the eldest stir up trouble. Raised a family of white-eyed wolves."
Then Wang Huirong hurried into the room, washing her face with a basin.
As a result……
The smoke inside the room was too heavy.
It choked her back out again.
Causing her to have washed her face, but not washed it clean.
Face covered in patches of shit and streaks of blood, wretched to the extreme.
And the room puffed smoke outward, also covering Wang Huirong's face in black stove ash, truly like Taishui descending to the mortal world.
Abstract to the extreme.
Wang Huirong had just wiped her tears and come out, when the next second a bicycle stopped at the doorway.
Two people on the bike.
One wearing yellow rubber shoes and green labor insurance clothing, a small green cap worn crookedly, holding a green canvas bag in hand.
Actually this is also a characteristic of this era.
Lots of green labor insurance clothing.
This isn't the same term as later generations describing green hats, because green labor insurance clothing and green caps, in this era, were still very common, and wouldn't cause people's discomfort.
This is a man, precisely Chai Zhongxiao's eldest daughter Chai Chunfang's son-in-law Sun Yuguang.
Sun Yuguang medium build, slightly thin frame, dark complexion, doesn't grow a beard.
If forced to say he has any feature, it's that he wears green all year round.
From afar, a green blur.
The other person slightly plump, not tall, wearing a thermal white sleeveless vest, black cloth pants, a pair of black rubber shoes.
Hair not long, just right shoulder-length.
Complexion also somewhat dark, and face full of ravine-like wrinkles, especially the forehead wrinkles particularly deep.
This person is precisely Chai Zhongxiao's eldest daughter, Chai Chunfang.
Among Chai Zhongxiao's six children, Chai Youqing is the oldest, already thirty-nine this year.
Chai Chunfang was only one year younger than Chai Youqing, thirty-eight this year, right at a good age.
But judging by her face, Chai Chunfang looked like a fifty-something Old Man.
Even, Chai Chunfang's face was older than Wang Huirong's by some.
As for Sun Yuguang, he was just dark, but not particularly aged-looking.
Chai Chunfang and Sun Yuguang lived in Shang Taizi Group, also belonging to Sanjiacun.
But Old Sun's family was only those three or two households, living in a ditch on the far east of Santiaozizu, terrain very poor.
When it didn't rain you still couldn't see the sun, when it rained you even more couldn't see the sun.
Chai Chunfang and husband had two daughters, but both daughters seemed a year or two younger than Chai Mi.
Actually Chai Chunfang married much earlier than Chai Youqing, but because the first child was a boy and died young, it caused the later children to be younger than Chai Youqing's children who married later.
Chai Chunfang and husband mainly relied on raising sheep for a living.
Shang Taizi Group side had many barren mountains, and also a Small River, raising cattle and sheep especially free. Could be called a no-capital ten-thousand-profit Business/Trade.
Usually Chai Chunfang also planted some Corn in Dagou to eat.
Beside Dagou naturally grew some Jujube Trees, apricot trees, also could have some Harvest.
Days passed generally, not bad not good.
Chai Chunfang was also a capable person, just didn't let days get poor.
As for Sun Yuguang usually besides working, herding sheep.
He also had a particularly magical occupation — Chuxian.
Actually just a fortune-teller.
But this Sun Yuguang claimed to be self-taught.
Legend says his family has a half Book of Changes passed down from Ancient Times, he knows characters, so can tell fortunes, also calls himself Chuxian.
But his fortune-telling level, so-so.
Mainly others tell fortunes by Ying Gua, he has to read the book...
As long as a normal person, wouldn't go find a person who reads books to tell fortunes to tell fortunes!
With that effort, read the book yourself, not good?
So in the jianghu, also call Sun Yuguang a Banshen Gun.
This Northeast land, very magical.
Many who haven't come or half-understand all write Bai Shan Hei Shui something Chuxianxian.
Actually, this title is especially one-sided.
Actually Chuxian generally specifically refers to Manchu side's Shaman, Shaman called Chuxian. Mongol called Dashen, Han called Yin-Yang Master, commoners called fortune-tellers, more vulgar called blind men.
Anyway most fortune-tellers are blind men.
Actually many places also have "watch incense", "watch fate", "watch matters".
And vast majority of times, everyone seeks "watch incense".
Because "watch incense" is Cheap, give however much money works.
Feature is pulling your hand, hard chatting with you... up to Pangu creating heaven and earth, down to Yama which day comes menstruation, they all know.
All because customs caused, have fame then give self install a title. Just like Ancient Times rebels, all would find selves a better Ancestor.
Fortune-tellers then start finding selves a good dad or good mom...
Like fox dog, weasel, Changchang (snake), Ciciwei etc.
Among them weasel's Huangxian especially many.
Why Huangxian many?
Because weasel this Plaything grows good-looking...
Weasel grows very like small squirrel, fluffy quite cute. And not too scary, usually catches mice, starved catches Chicken.
And this thing IQ high.
Habits especially Bizarre.
Sun Yuguang says he is Huangxian reincarnation.
Because their family Firewood Pile has a nest of weasels.
Weasels generally don't settle where people live, but once settled, shows this place safe and secluded enough. And it will Chang Zhu, one stay ten-plus years or even longer.
It also often catches mice to eat, is a good Animal.
Although it also steals Chicken.
But if you don't raise Chicken, then don't need to Worry.
Sun Yuguang and Chai Chunfang couple pushing Bicycle entered Chai Family Laozhai, at a glance saw Wang Huirong's sorry state.
Chai Chunfang hurriedly ran over, urgently asked: "Ma, what happened to you? Also, what situation is our family? Let bandits smash soldier-disaster?"
With Chai Family Laozhai's current state, isn't it just like when bandits entered village?
Although not to the point of House Dao Wu Ta, but Glass all shattered, whole house smoking, people also made extremely bedraggled, isn't it just like bandits robbed?
Wang Huirong face not clean, face color even worse, seeing self make fool before own daughter, also some embarrassment, more is anger, she shouted: "Still Chai Mi that damn thousand-cuts turtle-son did, that Little Girl piece, too not a Plaything. Our family this ghost appearance, all Bai Suo Ci."
Anyway regardless evidence or not, first push responsibility to Chai Mi is Wang Huirong consistent practice.
Chai Chunfang hearing mother say this, Immediately got temper, said: "Chai Mi a junior, this too no upbringing. Too unlike words, my big brother doesn't manage?"
Chai Zhongxiao silent not speaking.
Chai You De silent not making sound.
Wang Huirong then Ya Chi Qie Chi cursed: "Your big brother no longer your that year's big brother, your big brother also not a thing!"
Chai Chunfang expression Dai Zhuang, don't know think what.
After a while, Chai Chunfang said, "Mom, you should still go to the hospital and have a look, your face is full of injuries."
Go to the hospital?
If Wang Huirong had money, she would have gone to the hospital long ago.
Last time she prepared to swindle some money out of Chai Youfu, but ended up getting a beating from the Old Song Family, beaten until Wang Huirong doubted her own existence.
As for Chai Youqing, Wang Huirong held no hope now; she knew that with Chai Mi around, Chai Youqing's word didn't count.
And even if the younger son had money, Wang Huirong would never take Chai You De's money.
So, Wang Huirong fundamentally had no money to go to the hospital.
"Where would the money come from? We're scraping by day to day."
With Wang Huirong saying this, Chai Chunfang immediately felt awkward.
Turns out Mom was waiting here for me...
Chai Chunfang couldn't help but grow suspicious; after all, she hadn't planned to return to her mother's family this time — it was Chai Zhongxiao who had someone send word telling her to come back.
But judging from Wang Huirong's talk, Chai Chunfang estimated in her heart that this old couple wanted to make her the fall guy.
Although Chai Chunfang had also received some favors from Chai Zhongxiao. When Chai Chunfang first got married, they were poor as church mice.
The porridge they made was so thin you could see a person's reflection in it.
Visibly showing how straitened their life was.
Fortunately, Chai Zhongxiao made a sweeping gesture and gave Chai Chunfang the few lambs Chai Youqing was raising.
By rights, those lambs belonged to Chai Mi's household; Chai Chunfang should have thanked Chai Mi's family.
But Chai Chunfang didn't see it that way; after all, it was Chai Zhongxiao taking Chai Mi's family's things to give as a gift, so she should thank Chai Zhongxiao even more.
You have to understand, back in the seventies twenty-odd years ago, a few lambs were also extremely precious. Later, because Chai Chunfang's family had a good geographical location, grazing cattle and sheep cost nothing.
The mountain slope had grass; the sheep hardly needed anything but Sun Yuguang to herd them, and they could eat their fill and grow fat.
Slowly the lambs grew up too, step by step, becoming several dozen sheep.
Chai Chunfang's days also improved somewhat.
But Chai Chunfang believed it was all her own effort and hard work that made her days better.
Now Wang Huirong saying she had no money — that was plainly telling her to spend money.
Chai Chunfang didn't want to spend money.
Although this is her birth mother...
But she couldn't bring herself to say it directly, so she said, "My eldest brother, as the head of the family, Mom is like this and he still won't spend money?"
"Him..." Wang Huirong thought of Chai Youqing's recent behavior and felt uncomfortable: "He's been bewitched by Chai Mi, pestering me every day for famine relief. How could he give me money? I don't have this son."
"Then what about the second..."
"The second..." Wang Huirong then told Chai Chunfang about her own beating.
Chai Chunfang flew into a rage upon hearing this: "How can the eldest and second treat you two like this? Is there no law left? Mom, leave this to me, I'll go demand medical expenses for you."
Although Chai Chunfang didn't really want to take full responsibility, she didn't want to pay out of pocket either, so she had to find an excuse.
Sun Yuguang also said: "The Master said: A disciple, at home be filial, abroad be fraternal, careful and trustworthy, love all broadly and draw close to the benevolent. The eldest brother is being unfilial..."
Wang Huirong frowned; she didn't know any 'Master said', but the eldest was indeed unfilial.
Chai Zhongxiao, however, felt Sun Yuguang was cultured, and nodded: "Son-in-law, then you tell me, how to handle it?"
Sun Yuguang put on an air of profundity, pulled out that half-copy of the I Ching from his tattered cloth bag, and began consulting it.
He consulted for half a day, finally finding a countermeasure: "The Master said: Use the other person's own method to deal with their body."
"Since the eldest brother is unfilial, then we needn't fear airing family ugliness; we'll make this public, blow the matter up, and see if he's afraid of losing face."
Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong listened in a fog, and asked: "Then specifically what to do?"
Sun Yuguang couldn't think of a plan for the moment, and said: "The Master said: Heaven's secrets must not be divulged."
