Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Li Xiulan worked on the farm all afternoon, returning home before the sun went down.
She said to Wang Zhanggen:
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
Wang Zhanggen just said:
"Just cook some cured meat!"
Li Xiulan went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to look.
She was immediately stunned.
Only to see inside the refrigerator, only vegetables were left!
The meat in the freezer had all vanished without a trace!
"Where's the meat I put in the refrigerator? How is it all gone?"
Li Xiulan returned to the living room and asked Wang Zhanggen, who was watching an Anti-Japanese Divine Drama, a sentence.
"Wasn't it right there? How could it be gone?"
Wang Zhanggen had a speechless expression.
Li Xiulan was huffing with anger:
"It really is gone! Could our home have been burgled? Weren't you at home the whole time? How do you not know what happened?"
Wang Zhanggen was stunned for a moment, then recalled Yang Xiaocai coming to borrow rice today.
So he slapped his thigh:
"It must be that bastard Yang Xiaocai who swiped it! This afternoon he came and borrowed ten jin of rice!"
Li Xiulan got even angrier:
"Why did you lend to him? Last time you lent him salt, he also swiped a big bottle of our peanut oil! This bastard, he's just no good!"
Wang Zhanggen was extremely depressed:
"I thought a bit of rice isn't worth much, so lending it was fine, to avoid people saying we're stingy!"
Li Xiulan then said:
"Now it's done for, tonight we can only eat vegetables!"
Then she also said:
"Don't lend things to Yang Xiaocai anymore in the future, that guy is just no good! Have less to do with him!"
Li Xiulan even suspected that Wang Zhanggen gambling on Liucun was because Yang Xiaocai led him astray.
"Knowing, knowing, next time I won't lend to him, that's fine, why are you so angry!"
Wang Zhanggen impatiently said this one sentence, then busily urged:
"Hurry up and cook, I'm starving to death!"
"Starve to death, serves you right!"
Li Xiulan scolded a sentence, then turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.
While cooking, she then discovered the soy sauce was also gone.
Li Xiulan grew angrier the more she thought about it.
Last time Yang Xiaocai swiped things from her kitchen, she could let it slide.
This time Yang Xiaocai actually went from bad to worse, saying he was borrowing rice, but the result was all the meat was taken by him; taking the meat would have been fine, but he took the soy sauce too!
Without soy sauce, how to cook dishes tonight?
So Li Xiulan couldn't swallow her anger, rolled up her sleeves, and angrily hurried to Yang Xiaocai's home!
"Yang Xiaocai, you get out here!"
Li Xiulan flared up in a huge rage!
She hadn't been this angry in a long time.
Yang Xiaocai was at this time eating cured meat in big mouthfuls; hearing Li Xiulan's shouting voice, he knew the jig was up.
So he hurriedly hid the cooked cured meat under the nearby broken wooden sofa.
"What's this about?"
Yang Xiaocai pretended nothing was wrong and came out to ask.
Li Xiulan angrily interrogated:
"Yang Xiaocai, was it you who took the meat from my refrigerator!"
Yang Xiaocai had an innocent face:
"You mustn't wrong a good person! This afternoon I only borrowed ten jin of rice from your family, I didn't take any meat!"
After saying this, he still couldn't help picking his teeth with his pinky finger.
Because the cured meat got stuck in his teeth, making his teeth a bit uncomfortable.
"You bastard, we lent you things out of kindness, yet you're insatiably greedy, taking this and taking that! Don't come to my house anymore!"
Li Xiulan was huffing with anger; the words she spoke gave Yang Xiaocai not a shred of face.
Before, when building the new building required passing by Yang Xiaocai's house, she didn't give Yang Xiaocai face; how much less now?
Now Li Xiulan's three sons are all promising, and the house is already built, so she has even more confidence!
"What kind of person are you? I said I didn't take it, so I didn't take it. Who do you take me for? Would I take that bit of meat from your house?"
Yang Xiaocai continued to quibble.
As long as he wasn't caught with evidence, he would absolutely deny it to the death.
"Your mouth still reeks of cured meat, and you have the nerve to quibble! I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you! Don't come to my house again!"
Having said this, Li Xiulan turned around and left.
Because she knew, getting Yang Xiaocai to obediently return the meat was impossible.
And she didn't want it either; things Yang Xiaocai had touched, she found filthy!
Because of this matter, Li Xiulan felt this spacious house was a bit unsafe.
So she absolutely had to raise a few dogs to guard the house!
Back when she lived at the old house, she had raised a dog, but later that dog was stolen by dog thieves in winter, and she hadn't raised one since.
Now it seemed very necessary to raise dogs again.
So the next day, early in the morning, Li Xiulan went to the Market in Town.
At the Market, she bought three little native dogs.
One yellow, one white, one black.
She just called them Xiao Huang, Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei!
"Xiao Huang, Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei, from now on you must guard this house well for me. If a thief comes in, bite him to death, understand?"
The three puppies' eyes were dazed and bewildered, wagging their tails happily, not knowing whether they understood Li Xiulan's words or not.
Seeing Li Xiulan buy so many dogs back at once, Wang Zhanggen was very unwilling:
"What did you buy so many dogs for? Making the house all messy and dirty!"
Li Xiulan said:
"Isn't it because you can't watch the house! Yang Xiaocai stole oil last time, stole meat this time, who knows he might steal our money next time!"
Li Xiulan's words had a bit of reason.
A good-for-nothing old thing like Yang Xiaocai really could do anything.
Especially since he took advantage of you, sees you can't do anything to him, he'll push his luck!
"No need to raise that many either, raising one is just fine!"
Wang Zhanggen didn't like dogs much.
Because dogs easily get lice.
But he quite liked dog meat!
Every year in winter, when other families killed dogs, he would go freeload a few mouthfuls of the aroma.
"I'm just going to raise three. One to guard the house, two to guard the Farm. If the house gets messy, you don't have to clean it, where do you get off having so much nonsense to say!"
With Li Xiulan putting it like this, Wang Zhanggen couldn't say anything more.
Face dark, not a word spoken.
Mainly because his broken leg was still in a Plaster Cast, movement inconvenient.
Even urinating required Li Xiulan to support him to go, bathing also needed Li Xiulan to help wipe his body.
If he angered Li Xiulan, and Li Xiulan didn't support him to urinate, didn't help him wipe his body, he would suffer terribly.
But this also made him sigh all the more.
Family status, dropped another level!
In this family, he really had less and less Decision-making Authority!
Before he scolded his sons, now he is scolded by his sons.
Before he bullied Li Xiulan, now he is given the cold shoulder by Li Xiulan.
The wheel of fortune turns!
This made him feel, the family built a three-story tall Dabie Villa, but it had no flavor.
"Sigh, being alive ah, is getting more and more meaningless!"
Wang Zhanggen suddenly exclaimed with emotion.
He thought Li Xiulan hearing his lament would soften her heart, would say nice words to him.
Unexpectedly Li Xiulan directly retorted with a line:
"Then hurry up and die!"
Wang Zhanggen's face turned even darker.
Yet he couldn't say a single word.
Li Xiulan continued scolding him:
"Acting sentimental all day long, someone waiting on you and you're still like this, I see you're really tired of living!"
