Protagonist:
Chai Mi
Chai Mi actually didn't advise Song Qiushui to do that, after all last time it was because Song Qiushui took a megaphone and caused a ruckus all over the camp that Chai Youfu got angry and stole from Song Qiushui's house to retaliate against Song Qiushui.
"Alright, didn't you already pull a stunt last time? Pull another one and there's no novelty left." Chai Mi felt it was better to do less of this: "If things get too stiff, it's not good for you, not good for him. It's about enough now, let's turn the page. My dad threw two hundred yuan at him, and we two even went to see him. That's more than enough..."
"If he still puts on a black face and acts shameless, we'll go to the school, take a megaphone and mess with him. You see if he's scared or not..."
"That won't do." Song Qiushui directly refused: "I'm not stupid, isn't that smashing his rice bowl? Then my Second Uncle would definitely get furious. However, I can scare him into going to the No. 1 Middle School gate with a big megaphone to shout, just say Chai Min's dad this and that..."
Chai Mi sprayed out the soup she had just drunk into her mouth, she hurriedly wiped her mouth: "Isn't that even more vicious? Qiu Shui ah, how come I feel like you seem to have a fate clash with that sickly one? You seem to have an obsession with that cousin of mine."
"Sixth sense. I feel Chai Min isn't normal." Song Qiushui spoke and recalled an incident: "Chai Min wasn't like this before, before she was sickly, but looking at me, she was so affectionate. But now looking at me, heh, just like looking at an enemy. During New Year last year, I fucking even gave Chai Min lucky money... At that time Chai Min came to my house to pay New Year respects, kowtowed directly to my dad, my dad my mom and me, all gave lucky money."
Before, Song Qiushui and Chai Min had an even closer relationship.
It was far better than her relationship with Chai Mi.
Chai Mi lowered her head to drink soup: "Mm."
Chai Mi also felt Chai Min seemed a bit different from her memory.
Very strange.
You have to know, before Chai Min studied very diligently, otherwise she couldn't have tested into high school. In this era, testing into high school is very hard.
Chai Mi herself didn't even test in.
Of course, mainly Chai Mi had a severe subject bias, and the bias was severe.
English was completely incomprehensible to her.
All other grades were especially good, but English was a doorless door.
"Don't mind her." Chai Mi ate her rice: "I don't have money to give this cousin lucky money anyway. Our Old Chai Family, during New Year there's no lucky money. I never received any, Xiu'er never received any either. Who told you to have money..."
Song Qiushui hmphed: "In the future I'll also have less to do with her."
"We didn't give them lucky money either, so it's not a loss, the family's all poor." Su Wan seemed to recall something: "I went to Big Aunt's place today too, to see her. Guess who I saw? I saw your cousin Chunyan and her son-in-law."
Chai Mi's maternal aunt Su Jin has two daughters and one son, the son is Liu San. The two daughters are Liu Chunwen and Liu Chunyan respectively.
Liu Chunyan married into Shang Taizi in the same village.
Right on the northwest side of Chai Mi's home, a place, the place isn't too far, but they don't interact much.
Chai Mi frowned: "They both went to my Big Aunt's too? Isn't that very normal? Going back to mother's family to take a look, too normal."
But Chai Xiu said: "No ah Sister, it's that they two aren't the same ah."
Chai Xiu pouted, gesturing with her small hand: "That guy's, Second Sister Chunyan ah, dressed up all flowery and flashy, little leather shoes little leather pants big red jacket hair even permed..."
Chai Mi gasped: Fuck! Isn't that hot? This autumn is indeed a bit cool, but leather pants is a bit excessive right.
But wearing leather shoes...
Chai Mi looked at Song Qiushui...
Song Qiushui rolled her eyes at Chai Mi, she was also wearing little high heels, blue skirt, tight blue denim top... just her hair wasn't permed...
"What are you staring at me for? I don't wear leather pants, that broken thing isn't breathable, fucking uncomfortable."
Chai Xiu also went to Big Aunt's with mother Su Wan today, arrived at Big Aunt's, that Chunyan dressed flowery and flashy not to mention, also had an air of arrogance, just made Chai Xiu feel not right.
Chai Xiu slammed half a corn cob onto the table, oily hands gesturing: "Oh my god, that's not even the main thing! The key is Second Sister Chunyan's mouth, babbling non-stop! Saying her man is so capable, when he went up the mountain to work, he dug up a treasure!"
"Treasure?" Song Qiushui was just gnawing red braised pork, hearing this, her ears perked up, "What treasure? Gold ingots ah?"
"That wasn't said," Chai Xiu pouted, "just said it's some old object, copper, with green rust, and has characters! All mysterious, said it's worth a shitload of money! Also said what... Ming Dynasty's!"
"Ming Dynasty?" Chai Mi picked up a chopstick of egg sauce mixed rice, didn't even lift her eyelids, "Just that Shang Taizi place, could dig up Ming Dynasty stuff? Isn't it more like dug up some family's ancestral tomb copper money jar? That thing you can't take, bad luck."
Su Wan also put down her chopsticks, a bit worried: "Exactly! That Chunyan child, from little loved to show off, speaks without a filter. If this thing is real, and she blabs it out, better not invite any trouble."
"Oh, Mom doesn't really understand that. Mainly Chunyan shows off a whole meal's worth not to mention, there's also that Sun Guoyou ah, oh my god, whole big back hair all oiled, shiny, big leather shoes big western suit, dressed up like a proper person." Chai Xiu spoke seriously: "He just said he dug up a treasure, also quite mysterious, even Liu San was tempted. Also said seems like there's some Zhu San Taizi's tomb, when Ming Dynasty fell, hid treasure, prepared to use for anti-Qing restore-Ming, so many fun things......"
Liu Chunyan's that partner is called Sun Guoyou.
Song Qiushui heard this: "Ming Dynasty treasure? I recently seem to have heard this thing too...... Said someone discovered Ming Dynasty treasure, similar to what Xiu'er said, afterwards treasure too much, one person definitely can't finish digging, need to find a few more people, dig together...... If that thing gets dug out, so many fun things. Any random old object, all super valuable."
Chai Youqing was originally drinking soup with head down, hearing "worth money" two words, eyes brightened a bit: "Really... really dug up treasure? What kind ah? If it's copper, selling scrap copper can also exchange for some money right?"
"Dad!" Chai Xiu called out dissatisfied, "You only know money! Chunyan Sister said, that's antique! Antique understand? Priced by piece!"
"What by piece by catty," Chai Mi sneered, pointed at table with chopsticks, "That Shang Taizi area, early years was just a river beach wasteland, later slowly people lived there. Former Qing era was already scorching with human habitation, still Ming Dynasty? Talking nonsense. Eighty percent dug up some family's previously buried broken copper rotten iron, at most a few copper coins."
Song Qiushui got excited: "Copper coins also work ah! Chai Mi, you know not, I heard now someone specializes in collecting this stuff, one can sell for several yuan! If the years are long, even more valuable! Why don't... we also go poke around? What if our family land also has it?" Her eyes shone looking at Chai Mi, "Anyway corn now also let people ruin almost done, idle is also idle!"
Chai Mi hadn't spoken yet, Su Wan got anxious first: "Oh Qiu Shui, you stop it! That thing is randomly dug? Besides, our family ancestral tombs are all in old ancestral graveyard, what could land have? Just dreaming! Don't mess around, don't invite some unclean thing!"
"Mom, what era is it still superstition." Chai Xiu was a bit tempted, muttered quietly, "If really can dig up a few, sell for money give our family calf buy some concentrated feed to supplement how good..."
Chai Youqing also followed muttering: "Just... what if... anyway land idle..."
Chai Mi shoveled the last mouthful of rice into mouth, wiped mouth: "Alright, all stop dreaming. Chunyan that person speaks, ten sentences eight sentences water content. If really that valuable treasure, she could shout all over world? Long would've hid it and secretly sold it. I see, at most just a few rotten copper coins (copper coins), she took them out to show off. Eat eat, soup almost cold."
Chai Mi felt this matter, eighty percent is cheating people, or being cheated.
Just this Sanjiacun place, Ming Dynasty time, didn't exist yet......
That was Great Qing time, people Crossing the Pass came over.
Besides, what Zhu San Taizi what Ming Dynasty treasure, making up lies don't even know how to make up lies.
Great Ming was destroyed by Qing Dynasty, and this Northeast piece, is Qing Dynasty's homeland/base camp ah, Ming Dynasty even if had treasure, how bury into Qing Dynasty's heartland?
Fought over?
If could fight over, Great Ming still could fall?
So, this matter and later generations': I am Qin Shi Huang, Venmo me fifty, I appoint you Universe Commander-in-Chief is the same logic.
Pure deception.
Song Qiushui still wouldn't give up: "Chai Mi, don't be so stubborn! Tomorrow we'll come back early from setting up the stall, let's take a detour past Shang Taizi and have a look? Just treat it as watching the excitement! It's not far anyway."
"What excitement to watch? Watch Liu Chunyan wear leather pants and dance the yangge?" Chai Mi said irritably, "If you're that bored, come with me this afternoon to organize those sacks of seasoning in the storage room, they've all gathered dust."
"Not going, not going!" Song Qiushui immediately wilted, hurriedly changing the subject, "Hey, Chai Mi, how many boyfriends does that girl Chai Min actually have at school? The more I think about it, the more I feel something's off with her!"
The topic swerved back to Chai Min again. Su Wan sighed: "Ai, a young lady, studying is what matters, what boyfriends... her mother doesn't care either."
"Care? Second Aunt is counting on Chai Min to climb a high branch!" Chai Xiu cut in, "Haven't you heard her always say before, her Chai Min is scholar material, will marry a city person in the future!"
"Forget it," Song Qiushui's face full of disdain, "With her like that? A gust of wind would knock her over, and she's sickly too, would a city person be blind? I think she just has ambitions higher than the sky! Who knows what she's up to at school. That big dark-skinned boy last time......."
Who Song Qiushui spoke of was naturally Teng Ye.
Chai Mi frowned slightly: "I didn't see it, don't you go talking nonsense."
"It's true!" Song Qiushui said firmly: "Classmates my ass, the two of them even hugged......"
Su Wan listened shaking her head: "Ai ya, this isn't good... her dad's leg is still broken in the hospital, if she really doesn't study properly at school and just messes around with these things... if her dad finds out won't he be angered to death?"
"Angered to death would be even better, saves him thinking about stealing our family's things all day." Song Qiushui's mouth was fast.
"Qiu Shui!" Chai Mi glared at her, "Accumulate some virtue on your mouth."
Song Qiushui shrank her neck, muttering quietly: "I didn't say anything wrong......"
Just as they were speaking, the courtyard gate was slapped pa-pa loudly, a coarse voice shouting: "Chai Mi! Is Chai Mi home?"
It was Village Chief Liu Zhanggui's voice, sounding quite urgent too.
Chai Mi answered: "Here, Village Chief, come in!"
Liu Zhanggui pushed the door in, a layer of sweat on his forehead, couldn't bother with pleasantries, directly said: "Chai Mi, quick, lend me your inverted donkey! Urgent matter!"
"What happened, Village Chief?" Chai Mi stood up, "What's up so urgent? The vehicle's in the storage room."
"Ai! Don't mention it!" Liu Zhanggui slapped his thigh, "Chai Zhongming! That old bachelor Chai Zhongming, don't know how, got into a fight with Liu Xiaochun! Got beaten up by that mixed ball Liu Xiaochun! Head split open! Blood gushing! Looks pretty scary! Gotta rush him to the county hospital to have a look!"
"Ah? They fought?" Everyone in the room froze.
"Why?" Chai Youqing's face full of bewilderment, "The two of them... what are they fighting for? Liu Xiaochun calls him Second Granduncle!"
"Who knows why these two mixed balls! Dog bites dog, a mouthful of hair!" Liu Zhanggui's face full of ill luck, "Heard it's that worthless wretch Liu Xiaochun lacking money and gone crazy, ran to Chai Zhongming's place to rob! That old thing Chai Zhongming isn't a fuel-efficient lamp either, three sentences didn't match and they started grappling! Liu Xiaochun young and strong, how is Chai Zhongming a match? Beaten badly! Person's lying at Chai Zhongming's doorway groaning right now! Da Zhi drove the tractor to Houtun, won't be back for a while, only your family's inverted donkey is most convenient! Quick, give me the key!"
Chai Mi hurried to get the key: "How's the person now? Can he move? Can he be carried on our vehicle? Don't jolt him worse."
"Can't care about that! Better than waiting dry!" Liu Zhanggui took the key, "Right at Chai Zhongming's doorway! I'll go push the vehicle now! Youqing brother, lend a hand? Help carry the person?"
Chai Youqing hesitated a bit, looked at Chai Mi. Chai Mi nodded: "Dad, you go help, be careful."
"Ai, ai!" Chai Youqing hurriedly got off the kang and put on shoes.
Liu Zhanggui and Chai Youqing left in a rush. The courtyard fell quiet at once.
Su Wan worried: "These two... neither are good things. One steals, one robs, dog bites dog!"
Song Qiushui curled her lip: "Hmph, serves them right! That old thing Chai Zhongming isn't any good bird either, who knows maybe both of them stole our corn together! Fight, fight hard! Beat one to death, one less scourge!"
Chai Mi organizing the bowls and chopsticks, movements paused: "Probably just driven crazy by poverty, infighting in the nest, nothing to do with us." She called to Chai Xiu, "Xiu'er, clean up the table, wash the bowls." Then said to Song Qiushui, "Qiu Shui, come, go with me to organize that pile of sacks, save you always thinking east and west."
Song Qiushui wailed, unwillingly following Chai Mi to the storage room.
By the time Chai Mi and them finished organizing the sacks and came out, strolling to near Chai Zhongming's place, the person had already been taken away.
Liu Zhanggui and Chai Youqing, plus two other strong laborers from the village, were using the inverted donkey to pull the groaning Chai Zhongming toward the county.
Chai Zhongming's head haphazardly wrapped with a piece of dirty cloth, seeping blood, face both blood and dirt, looked pretty miserable. Surrounding them still several villagers watching the excitement pointing and gesturing.
"Head cracked open, this time Liu Xiaochun's in trouble, hacked with a kitchen knife."
"Fuck! That's gotta go squat the fence!"
"These two are both quite interesting, the kitchen knife was brought out by Chai Zhongming, he hacked Liu Xiaochun first, result... didn't fucking beat the other person, instead had the kitchen knife snatched away, and his own head was hacked instead."
"Liu Xiaochun won't end up well either, hand tendons seem to be broken too......"
