Chapter 850: Fighting
The sky was overcast, and don't know when it would rain again. Ye Yaodong took a small path, intending to go back early.
The road was not good, it didn't matter, anyway he was wearing rain boots, and the soil on the back of his heels was almost thrown to his buttocks, and he had to change his pants when he went back.
However, suddenly remembering Ye Xiaoxi asking him to buy white sugar on the way, he turned to the main road.
At noon, after she finished eating, she sat on a small stool, her buttocks twisting and shaking the stool mischievously, but as a result, she accidentally shook the stool over, fell to the ground, and bit her lip directly.
That wailing sound almost lifted the roof, crying so miserably, tears falling drop by drop.
He hurriedly took white sugar and applied it to the wound on her lip to stop the bleeding.
Didn't expect that the bleeding didn't stop, but the crying stopped.
Her little tongue licked, directly rolled the white sugar into her mouth and ate it, tears were still hanging on the corners of her eyes, her mouth was eating with relish, and after eating, she opened her mouth and "ah" a bit.
Sweet, no child doesn't like to eat.
He was torn between laughter and tears, had to pinch a small pinch and put it on her lip, and told her not to lick it.
But, before the words fell, it was licked away again.
There wasn't much white sugar in total, she licked it back and forth, it was gone in two strokes, and it wasn't enough to eat, and she kept hanging tears and calling for sugar.
He had to coax her, saying that he would come out to buy it for her when the rain stopped.
Thinking of her following him when he came out just now, and sitting on the threshold waiting for him, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he walked to the shop with light steps.
Later, he could also buy some rock sugar, let her hold it and eat it for a long time.
Just as he walked to the shop, he heard everyone discussing from whether his family was rich or A Guang's family was richer, directly turning into the news of Rat's mother-in-law and Rat's mother fighting.
This shocked him!
Just now when he came out, nothing happened, and in such a short while, they actually fought.
"Hey, hey, Auntie, how did you fight, when did you fight?"
"Just now, fought when the rain stopped, oh my, it was scary, the two old women fought by pulling hair, pulling clothes, and rolling on the ground into two mud people."
Ye Yaodong's heart ignited with a raging fire of gossip, "Why did you fight? Whose house did you fight at? What happened later?"
"Heard it was Old Man Wang's wife who went to Rat's house to ask for medical expenses, saying that their family's eight or nine men were all beaten half to death, lying in bed and couldn't get down, all because of them..."
The speaker paused, and then remembered that the person asking was Ye Yaodong, and then hesitated before saying.
"Said it was all because of supporting Rat, making trouble at your house, so they were retaliated against, and someone was found to beat them. Now your family doesn't admit it, they don't have evidence, can only find Rat's family to ask for medical expenses."
"Then, Rat's family couldn't take out the money, wouldn't admit it, his mother was also aggressive, saying that what he earned usually was subsidized to her maternal family by his wife, but her maternal family offended people, instead blamed them, and wanted them to compensate, scolding them for being shameless."
"Also scolded his wife for being a prodigal woman, a stirrer, the two families' women started pointing at each other's noses and scolding..."
"Right, right, right, that's it, when they fought, I happened to pass by their door, heard from beginning to end, the two fought so miserably, couldn't pull them apart, the people who helped pull the fight were also made into mud."
"Later, even the women of the two families rushed over, becoming a group fight..."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Men finished fighting, women fight, estimated that there will be more trouble later."
Indeed there will be trouble, there will be more to talk about, the people in the village have new topics to talk about after tea and dinner.
"Then finished fighting and separated now?"
"Finished fighting, the village committee and the women's federation came to pull the fight, it took a long time to pull them apart, oh, right, your mother was also there, I also saw your mother accidentally pull someone into the ditch..."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
"Just sent people back, estimated that you can still hear the scolding if you go to their door now."
"This rain is good, otherwise the area around Old Wang's house yesterday was stinking to high heaven, and that stinky ditch, was scolded by a bunch of people for being wicked, everyone didn't dare to walk past his door, would rather take a detour."
"Heard it was washed from morning to night yesterday..."
"Isn't it washing from morning to night, inside and outside all have to be washed and scrubbed, otherwise how to live?"
"Yesterday those dirty water flowed into the stinky ditch, the village was also stinking to high heaven everywhere, people from the neighboring village heard about it, and ran over to watch..."
"Don't mention it, disgusting enough, hope this rain falls for two more days to wash it, otherwise there is a smell everywhere."
"Originally our village should be fishy and seafood, but yesterday it became the smell of shit, people from the neighboring village heard about it, and ran over to watch..."
Ye Yaodong took advantage of the gap of buying white sugar, stood there and listened for a while, everyone talked with great relish.
After he took the glass jar full of white sugar home, he didn't see his mother, estimated that she hadn't come back yet.
Lin Xiuqing curiously asked: "Adong, heard that Rat's mother and mother-in-law fought, really or fake? You didn't see it when you went out just now?"
"Didn't see it, I went to A Guang's house to sit for a long time before, just heard about it when I went to the shop to buy white sugar, and it was already finished, and they were all sent home."
He wanted to explain the reason for their fight, which made Aqing sigh endlessly.
"This is thinking that they can't be beaten for nothing, can't extort anything from us, then want some compensation from the son-in-law's house, originally it was because of them that they suffered."
"Hmm, dogs biting dogs, a mouthful of hair."
"This will have trouble for both families, didn't expect that just smashing the foot could develop into this, if it continues to make trouble, the two families are estimated to be old and dead without contact."
"This is a good thing, old and dead without contact, then don't need to subsidize the maternal family, Rat is a blessing in disguise."
Thinking about it this way, he actually did a good deed.
Lin Xiuqing glanced at him reproachfully, "The biological daughter can't say no contact, others can not contact, his wife can't."
Ye Yaodong pursed his lips, "Then continue to make trouble, anyway it has nothing to do with us."
"All are not worry-free."
"Anyway, the group of men in the Wang family can only lie on the bed, otherwise if they make trouble at the door, it is enough for Rat to drink a pot, now it is just women fighting and scolding, it is still okay."
"Don't worry about others, let them make trouble, anyway don't find us. You went to A Guang's house to talk about the big boat, is it agreed?"
"Agreed, wait until the boat is opened back on the summer solstice on the 21st, we will go out together, go for a few days to try."
His boat is not much different from A Guang's boat, just the length is two meters different, the important configuration is one grade, the unimportant deleted and reduced a little, fuel consumption should be smaller.
Just right to familiarize and understand in advance, wait until the end of the year if it is delivered, it will be better to get started.
"Then you explain well to Father."
"Hmm, where is my daughter?"
"Fell asleep waiting for your white sugar."
"Oh, then when she wakes up, she is estimated to have forgotten."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, seeing that there was nothing to do, he walked to the door again.
The old lady was sitting at the door, with a radio on the side listening to the play, and a round bamboo flat on her knees, which was the shrimp that had been dried and crushed.
Two days ago, his father brought back two buckets of worthless small shrimp, he boiled them and put them outside to dry for two days, and they were dried through, just collected yesterday evening, and it didn't affect at all when it rained today.
The shrimp in the bamboo flat had also been crushed with a rolling pin, everywhere was broken shells, but still had to be picked, and the shells that were not removed had to be broken off, so that the meat could be picked out.
A soup basin on the side had already been filled with quite a lot.
"Is the dried shrimp all here?"
"No, there is a basket in the house that hasn't been crushed, bring it to peel after crushing. You go busy with yours, or go to sleep, I have nothing to do, just peel it for me."
Ye Yaodong went into the house and asked Aqing, Aqing took down the basket hanging on the wall and gave it to him, "Two large buckets dried into two baskets, crushed a basket in the morning."
"Then peel the rest together, and then pack it with a nylon bag and tie it up, save it from being damp if it is just placed like this."
"Then you peel it, I will mend the fishing net, the rolling pin is on the stove."
He looked at the thin rolling pin, this is used to roll dough to wrap dumplings, where is it easy to use?
Scanning in the house, he saw the pestle in a basin at the bottom of the basin rack.
Using a pestle to beat and remove the shell is faster.
He walked to the door, took a fishing net, poured half of the dried shrimp in, wrapped it with the fishing net, and then put it on the stool to beat.
"Hey, using a pestle looks really faster than crushing with a rolling pin."
The old lady smiled and said: "Don't pour away the shrimp that can't be eaten next time, every day a large basin and a large basin are taken to pour, it is a pity."
"If you can't eat it, take it out and dry it for two days, also knock it with a pestle, remove the shell, the dried shrimp meat can also be fried or cooked noodles, and save the children from having to peel for a long time if they want to eat."
Lin Xiuqing echoed, "Then next time the small ones that no one wants, also take them to dry a little, don't feed the dogs, anyway you sit at the door all day and have nothing to do."
"Good, good, good, then peel the shell for me, otherwise I have nothing to do sitting at the door all day."
Since the old lady saw with her own eyes that gold was buried in the vegetable field, she sat at the door from morning to night for a longer time, and even the TV set couldn't attract her...
Occasionally, the sister-in-law and second sister-in-law next door wanted to come over to pick two peppers or pick a few tomatoes, and the old lady stared like a great enemy.
Also told them to have nothing to do, and plant more by themselves when they are free.
It actually caused the two sisters-in-law to grumble behind her back, saying the old lady was more biased and stingy, feeling pained that they had taken advantage of her by picking a few vegetables.
Ye Yaodong knew the old lady's little thoughts, and couldn't help but say in a low voice: "You don't have to stare at the door all the time, no outsiders come over, just do what you should do..."
"That's hard to say, I am sitting at the door now, looking at everyone like a thief, anyway I usually sit at the door, just watch for you."
He shook his head, helpless.
The old lady took the fishing net in his hand, poured the shrimp inside into the bamboo flat on her knees, and also stopped him from picking.
"Your hands are tender, this shrimp shell is dried and pricked, I will pick it."
Ye Yaodong looked at the thin calluses that had just grown on his palms in these two years, and then looked at the old lady's rough hands like tree bark, and compared them, they were really tender, just tanned a little.
Compared with Aqing's hands, maybe they are more tender, after all, counting, he has only really worked for two years, can't compare with their long-term labor.
Really a bit ashamed.
He had to continue to crush the remaining half of the dried shrimp first, and pick it together later.
Just when they were each performing their duties and busy, Ye Mu came over.
And as soon as she entered the courtyard door, she said: "The two families are fighting now, there is a good show to watch, let them bite dogs."
"Did Mother go to pull the fight just now?"
"I just pretended, didn't expect to really fall into the ditch, but fortunately, she didn't know who did it, and after climbing up, she scolded wildly again. We just left Old Wang's house, and we could still hear the scolding behind us."
"Don't worry about them, just watch the fun."
Ye Mu also moved a stool out to pick shrimp together.
"Do you want to sell these?"
"Keep it for yourself, the size is a bit small, just right for frying eggs, one bite for each of the little ones."
"Look at your sister-in-law who has been stinking for the past few days, your second sister-in-law said it's like someone owes her money, do you want to share a share of your new boat with them..."
"No."
Ye Yaodong refused directly.
What a joke? And it's not that he owes her?
His mother is a bit funny.
"What are you thinking, Mother? This was set by me long ago, the risk is all borne by me, why do I still have to share it? This is clearly a free gift, where is such a good thing."
"This is thinking that you two brothers occupy more or less, A Guang's boat has a share, but your eldest brother has nothing..."
"Big brother has a shop, and he has Dad's boat, plus the boat I partnered with him on. Even though it's split between three people, it's not like he has nothing. Do you think you're robbing the rich to help the poor?"
"Then forget it, forget it, treat it as I didn't say."
Ye Mu also felt that she was asking for trouble, and shouldn't have asked this.
"If Eldest brother has ideas, he can also order a boat, anyway, he only needs to pay a deposit in the early stage, find a few more people to join, right? This way, one person doesn't pay much, and there is time to buffer."
"Where is that suitable, where is it said that you can do it, they are not willing? So expensive, the family background is hollowed out and filled in, it is not enough, if you can participate in a share, it is okay."
"Late."
"Then forget it, don't worry about them, let them toss themselves. A mouse club, didn't see anything, but very willing, said to pay money, but not willing to buy a boat and participate in shares."
Ye Yaodong didn't answer, his mother is also good at being a post-mortem.
"Why don't you take it into the house to do it, and you can watch TV by the way."
"The TV is not turned on during the day these two days, the children have to take the final exam on Monday, so they are not allowed to watch."
"Don't let them watch TV, and didn't see them reading at home, they ran away as soon as the rain stopped."
"There is no signal, the signal is not good when it rains, can't receive it."
Ye Mu had nothing to say this time, no signal, can't watch it. ===== CHAPTER 851 =====
