Chapter 858: Good at making trouble
At lunch, Ye Yaodong also asked Lin Xiuqing if anything happened in the village all morning.
After all, after watching the fun of the old Wang family and knowing who threw the anonymous letter, they were driven away, and he immediately went to the town to send gifts, and didn't know what happened afterwards.
Without waiting for Lin Xiuqing to speak, Ye Mu immediately said excitedly: "You don't know yet, right? That friend of yours had a fight with his wife. Because his legs and feet were inconvenient, he was even pressed and beaten by his wife, who also scolded him for being useless, a good-for-nothing, and so on."
"Fortunately, his mother lived next door, heard the movement, ran over, and stopped them. Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a big fight, and half the village went to watch again."
"These few days, these two families have been fighting in turns. It's not to mention how exciting it is. There hasn't been such excitement all year round. Everyone runs back and forth, and it's too late to watch the fun."
Ye Yaodong was extremely surprised. "So exciting? Was it that they started fighting not long after his wife went back?"
"I heard from their neighbors, it seems like his mother-in-law scolded her for being meddlesome, writing some report letter. Alright, now the whole village knows she did it, and she will be scolded to death when she goes out. Then after arguing at the door, she went back to the room and vented her anger on Haozi. The couple fought not long after."
"Some people couldn't run fast enough. As soon as they came out of the old Wang family, they went straight to their house. This fun was one after another, endless, and it's estimated that there's still more to make trouble."
"Our family was also watched for fun. Yesterday, more than half of the village came to our door to watch, which also added bricks and tiles to the gossip business of this village," Ye Yaodong shoveled the rice and dishes in the bowl, and also knocked on the bowl twice, "Also gave people food."
"So it's said they deserve it, looking for trouble for nothing, tossing this out, just to be laughed at by people."
"Then, did they spread that I'm back?"
"Of course there is. Everyone says his wife lifted a rock and dropped it on her own feet, saying that what you do is all legitimate business, there is no speculation and profiteering at all, and you also know big figures. With a random phone call, you came back the same day, and didn't even need to stay overnight."
Ye Yaodong was surprised. "Eh, how do everyone know about the phone call?"
Ye Mu's expression was unnatural for a moment, and she said a bit embarrassedly: "I said it when I went to work this morning. Originally, it was a fact. We just know big figures, and after a phone call, you came back. I didn't brag either."
As she spoke, she became righteous.
"No wonder."
Lin Xiuqing interrupted: "It's okay, right? Anyway, the villagers know that big figures have been to our house several times, and it's normal to know that we know people."
"Hmm, it's okay. It can also make some people who are jealous of me weigh it up in their hearts. We also have people behind us, not something that can be messed with just because they want to. If you are not careful, it's easy to steal a chicken but lose the rice, just like Haozi's wife."
Ye Mu hurriedly nodded and echoed, "Right, that's exactly it. That's what I thought, so I just said it to everyone, to avoid them talking about you as if you had been in jail..."
Ye Yaodong pouted. Bragging is bragging, can't he know his mother? Anyway, it didn't matter.
"Just afraid that the rumors will spread more and more exaggeratedly, and it will spread that as long as I say a word, I can fish people out of jail. By then, the eldest aunt will have to break our threshold, and there will be more to say."
Ye Mu's face became ugly again. "Don't worry about her. Think you are a big official? Deserve to owe her? They are all from the same grandfather, can we help and deliberately not help?"
"Alright, stop talking, and talk nonsense again." The old lady was also unhappy.
Lin Xiuqing looked left and right, and changed the topic. "Mom forgot to say, later Haozi's wife ran back to her maiden family after being beaten by her mother-in-law, wanting to find her maiden family to help her stand up."
"As a result, her mother had just lain down and hadn't slept for a while before being awakened by her. Originally, she hadn't slept all night, and had been repeatedly tossing and washing the house."
"Alright, she scolded her severely, feeling that she was too unlucky, and that things were all caused by her, which implicated the family, so the family hadn't been smooth these few days, was splashed with feces and beaten, and directly drove her out."
"Then she returned to her own house with snot and tears, and kept throwing things all morning, and the scolding in the house was endless."
"Tsk tsk tsk, really exciting!"
"Isn't it? It's like singing a big play back and forth!" Ye Mu also gloated.
Ye Chenghu had been pricking up his ears to listen to the adults talking, poking the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, and said fiercely: "Dare to report my daddy, I will go smash their house's glass tonight, and beat Chen Jianxing until he falls to the ground tomorrow."
Chen Jianxing was Haozi's eldest son, one year younger than Chenghu.
Lin Xiuqing glared at him. "Adults' business, children don't interfere. Hurry up and eat your rice. If you don't listen, don't think about going to the city, and don't think about buying a soccer ball."
Ye Chenghu hummed twice unconvinced, and then started to scrape the rice in the bowl.
She looked at Ye Yaodong again and said: "I heard that people from other villages have already spread that you were caught in jail and will be sentenced in two days."
"Grass, spread so fast."
"What's more outrageous is that someone came over this morning to ask if I wanted to sell the boat. You hadn't woken up yet, and I drove them out directly. On the way to the old Wang family, someone asked me, and after you showed your face later, some people really believed you were back."
"They all thought I couldn't come back, wanting to pick up a ready-made bargain."
"Isn't it."
Ye Mu said with disdain: "Each one wants to fart, even if selling, it won't be their turn."
"Right, even if it's gang-rape, it won't be their turn."
Lin Xiuqing sprayed a mouthful of soup directly, and the old lady also coughed violently.
Ye Mu glared at him fiercely. "What kind of words are you speaking! Your mouth has no door all day, the children are still there, speaking such words."
The old lady sat beside him, and after recovering, hit him twice.
Lin Xiuqing also kicked him under the table. "Speaking nonsense."
"Hmm, eat, eat, stop talking."
All the women at the table glared at him fiercely.
After the meal, Ye Yaodong, who had nothing to do, took Ye Xiaoxi and carried a basket to the courtyard to pick tomatoes, intending to use them as after-meal fruit.
When he came back before, he saw a ridge of tomatoes in the courtyard, red and hanging in the corner like red lanterns, looking particularly pleasing.
Ye Xiaoxi was as happy as a flower butterfly, swinging the basket, which was a small bamboo basket his brothers took to the sea.
"Slow down... haven't washed yet... forget it, eat if you want, anyway, it's pure natural and pollution-free."
As soon as she ran to the small piece of land where tomatoes were planted, she picked one and stuffed it into her mouth, biting it so that the juice splashed everywhere, and her chin and nose were covered in tomato juice, but her expression was sour, her brows were tightly wrinkled, but she chewed particularly deliciously in her mouth.
Then she gnawed one bite after another, and the collar of her clothes was stained with pink tomato juice.
Ye Yaodong smiled at her greedy look, and also picked one casually, wiped it on his body, and gnawed it directly, exploding with juice in one bite, sour and sweet.
"Is it delicious?"
Her mouth was stuffed full, no time to speak, gnawing on the tomato and nodding.
Ye Yaodong finished gnawing the one in his hand in two or three bites, and then started picking. Ye Xiaoxi followed behind him like a flower child, carrying the basket to catch them.
Until the small basket was half full and she couldn't carry it, Ye Yaodong took it over.
"You didn't come to pick, you came to eat."
She gnawed one after another, her mouth didn't stop, just nodding.
Ye Yaodong held her hand and went home, and then walked to the back door. Two ridges of tomatoes, a ridge of eggplants, and two ridges of sweet potatoes were also planted on the small hillside at the back door, and vines of winter melon, pumpkin, and watermelon were crawling everywhere.
The surroundings of the house were surrounded by these vegetables, planted full, picking whatever was mature.
He also checked the cherry seeds planted a few days ago by the way. They had sprouted quite a few, and the small seedlings were seven or eight centimeters high. Wait for them to grow longer and bigger before separating them, the survival rate would be higher.
In the corner under the dirt slope, there were also many dirt mounds piled up. Each dirt mound gathered a large handful of cherry seedlings, eight children had eight mounds.
Planted so densely, I don't know if it will be easy to separate and transplant later. This is quite easy to sprout, but I don't know if it's easy to live.
A small group of geese were wandering around, pecking for food everywhere. He was a bit worried if these seedlings would be pecked directly by these geese?
Thinking about it, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so he simply went to the courtyard to take those branches and firewood, wrapped them with rope, made a small fence-like thing, and surrounded those cherry seedlings. Fortunately, they were all planted in the corner at that time.
Let them grow longer, and then see where to plant them and separate them.
Lin Xiuqing watched him tossing back and forth there, smiled, leaned against the door, and gnawed on a tomato. "If this can grow up, then in a few years, won't there be a piece of cherry trees? That will be enough to eat."
"Who knows if it can grow up, if it can live? But with so many, at least one or two can live, right? Anyway, it was planted by this group of children themselves, so they should be proud when they grow up."
"What's there to be proud of? I also planted two banana trees when I was young. Every year I can cut a pile, and I can't finish eating them at all."
"Wait until the sun is not so big in the afternoon, I will go to Huimei's place to take a look, see if there is anything to help with, and by the way, cut a few bananas and pick a few watermelons back. The watermelons on the dirt slope were planted too late, haven't matured yet, and didn't bear many."
"Then there will be more to eat, and the mouth doesn't need to stop all day."
She said while smiling, took a handkerchief and wiped the face of Ye Xiaoxi, who was sitting on the threshold, full of tomato juice.
Ye Xiaoxi thought she was talking to her, held the tomato, raised her head and nodded violently, making the couple happy.
"Didn't talk to you, what are you nodding for."
"Eat... eat..."
"Only know how to eat, haven't even grown a few teeth yet, hurry up and finish eating, change your clothes, go to bed and play for a while."
"Don't!"
After Ye Yaodong finished his work, he washed his hands and lifted the little girl up high. She giggled happily, and the tomato smashed down from the top of his head.
"Ouch~"
"Stop making trouble, take her into the house to sleep. The noon sun is big, don't let her run around."
"Sleep, sleep~" ===== CHAPTER 859 =====
