Chapter 1107: Kicking over the traces

~7 min read 1,305 words

The third day of the first lunar month

Cao Weiguo went to the cemetery early in the morning, set up offerings, and then slowly burned paper money.

While burning the paper money, he muttered to himself, telling his parents that he was living well now, had married a wife, didn't have to worry about food and clothing, everything at home was fine, and they should also be well down there... Because of the environment, Cao Weiguo only kowtowed after burning the paper and did not set off firecrackers.

On this day, people came and went in the cemetery, and Cao Weiguo even met some "acquaintances."

These people were either his father's comrades-in-arms or the children of his father's comrades-in-arms.

After a few pleasantries, Cao Weiguo left the cemetery.

On the way, Cao Weiguo entered the farm silently.

An endless paradise, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers fragrant.

The reward for checking in during the New Year was very simple and crude: 100 mu each of farmland, forest land, grassland, and pond.

This round of rewards also gave the farm a new atmosphere!

On the fertile land, Cao Weiguo skillfully sowed seeds of various crops.

In addition, he also created several orchards, planting grapes, muskmelons, watermelons, strawberries, etc., respectively...

By the time he came out of the farm, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Cao Weiguo went in and bought a piece of glass.

When buying things, he also ran into Yan Jiecheng and his wife.

Seeing Cao Weiguo, Yan Jiecheng ignored him, lowered his head to pack things, and didn't even say hello.

Cao Weiguo didn't care about this, after all, he had pried away his wife.

Subconsciously, he looked at the top of Yan Jiecheng's head; if there was a chance, he should give him a hat.

Back home, Cao Weiguo took off the wooden board that was blocking the wind and replaced it with bright new glass.

Banggeng and his two younger sisters were playing in the backyard. Seeing that Cao Weiguo had replaced the glass, his teeth itched with hatred.

Because of what happened yesterday, he had been beaten up, and his bottom was still burning with pain.

Banggeng muttered viciously: "Detestable Cao Weiguo! Iron rooster! I'm not finished with you!"

Just when Banggeng was full of resentment, bursts of fragrance drifted out from the Cao family.

"Stewed chicken with mushrooms! This damn Cao Weiguo is stewing chicken again!"

The little white-eyed wolf was instantly tempted to swallow his saliva, his small eyes glowing green.

Even though there was no shortage of food during the New Year, he couldn't stand Cao Weiguo's good cooking, and he couldn't stand how much Banggeng loved eating chicken.

The bursts of fragrance couldn't stop him from clenching his nose, and Banggeng swallowed his saliva in big gulps.

No way!

This smell was too intoxicating!

It was going to starve me to death!

Banggeng swallowed his saliva, limped home, and shouted: "Mom! Grandma! I want to eat stewed chicken! That iron rooster Cao Weiguo is stewing chicken, it smells so good, I want to eat it too!"

Jia Zhangshi cursed as soon as she opened her mouth: "This black-hearted beast! He only cares about eating and drinking by himself, and doesn't know how to share some with his neighbors. He isn't afraid of bursting from eating too much!"

Qin Huairu held a spoon and stirred the rice porridge in the pot, lowering her head and remaining silent.

However, even if she didn't make a sound, Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi wouldn't let her go.

Banggeng ran over and hugged Qin Huairu's thigh: "Mom! I'm starving to death! I want to eat stewed chicken!"

Jia Zhangshi pulled a long face: "Qin Huairu, say something! Aren't you usually quite good at talking! Why are you pretending to be a mute now! Didn't you hear my eldest grandson say he wants to eat stewed chicken!"

Qin Huairu said unpleasantly: "Even if you want to eat it, we don't have any at home. Don't you know what our family's situation is! Also! Banggeng, you just caused trouble and still want to eat chicken? Do you want a slap in the face!"

Banggeng retreated in fear, stomping his feet angrily: "I want to eat chicken! I want to eat chicken! If I don't have chicken, I won't eat!"

Qin Huairu said with a cold face: "Suit yourself, if you don't eat, it'll just save food for the family."

Banggeng turned and ran over to hug Jia Zhangshi's waist: "Wuwuwu! Grandma! I want to eat chicken! I want to eat chicken!"

Jia Zhangshi glared at Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, you are too incompetent as a mother! During the New Year, your son wants to eat a piece of chicken and you can't even satisfy him. Are you ashamed to be a mother? My Jia family really had the worst luck for eight generations, how did we get blind and marry a useless woman like you? You can't do anything, you only know how to show off at home."

"It's me who is useless! I'm useless! Fine! Aren't you just annoyed by me! Want to drive me away! I'll go! You can marry a capable daughter-in-law for the Jia family! Find a capable mother for Banggeng!"

Qin Huairu threw the spoon into the pot, turned around with a face full of resentment, and walked out of the room.

This suddenly left Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng dumbfounded, standing there like wooden chickens.

After a while, Banggeng looked up at Jia Zhangshi: "Grandma! Did my mom leave?"

Jia Zhangshi said with a dazed head: "Yes! I think so!"

Immediately after, Jia Zhangshi came to her senses and cursed furiously: "Ouch! This shameless bitch! Her wings have hardened! She actually dares to kick over the traces at me! Eldest grandson, come with grandma to go out and scold your mother!"

Banggeng said timidly: "Grandma, I'm afraid my mom will hit me."

"Useless thing! Get out!"

Jia Zhangshi pushed Banggeng away and chased out aggressively.

Banggeng stood in the room, gnashing his teeth with hatred: "It's all Cao Weiguo's fault! If he hadn't stewed chicken to tempt me, my mom wouldn't have left. Detestable guy, I'll make you look good sooner or later!"

Jia Zhangshi chased out of the house, but her old arms and legs couldn't catch up with Qin Huairu.

By the time she walked to the courtyard, Qin Huairu was long gone.

She hurriedly ran to the alley, grabbed the Second Aunt who was returning from outside, and asked: "Second Aunt, did you see Qin Huairu!"

The Second Aunt said gloatingly: "I saw her running away while wiping her tears, you must have abused her again."

Jia Zhangshi said with a gloomy face: "This shameless woman doesn't have much ability but her temper is growing. I just said a few words to her, and she turned around and kicked over the traces!"

The Second Aunt said: "Jia Zhangshi, it's not that I'm lecturing you, you are just heartless. Qin Huairu manages the food, drink, and daily life of the whole family by herself, how difficult it is. It's one thing that you don't feel sorry for her, but you also abuse her every few days. Anyone would run away."

"My family's business doesn't need you to worry about it."

Jia Zhangshi glanced at the Second Aunt, dropped a sentence, and went to chase Qin Huairu.

Chasing all the way to the bus stop, panting, Qin Huairu was standing there waiting for the bus.

At this time, Jia Zhangshi was both angry and afraid.

She was angry that Qin Huairu was throwing a temper tantrum at her.

She was even more afraid that Qin Huairu would just leave. ===== CHAPTER 1109 =====
