Chapter 35 Instigation
Shui Qing wondered if she had opened her mouth before?
Why did you just say don’t do anything wrong last night, but you will do anything wrong today!
Urgent shouts came from the distance. Shui Qing stood up quickly. After standing up suddenly, her head felt dizzy. After calming down, she walked towards the thatched house.
Five little children followed nervously.
The person who came was Zhang Xiaocao.
The fifteen-year-old girl's yellow and thin face was full of worry. When she saw Shui Qing, she took a few big steps forward and said: "Sister-in-law Shui Qing, Uncle Damu came to my grandma and said that your family has no rice at all. It can be exchanged, just to deceive our chicken head rice;
My mother-in-law didn’t believe it. She said that your mother-in-law confirmed it with her mother-in-law. She told us not to believe what you said about changing rice. She also told us to come and get the chicken head rice quickly. Otherwise, if we don’t get the rice later, the chicken head rice will be given away to your house for free. . "
Shuiqing's temples jumped.
Her mother-in-law who can be a demon.
She has no ability and never lags behind others when trying to hold her son and wife back. No, she is more active than strangers!
Xinghui reacted quickly and asked, "Sister Xiaocao, what did your mother-in-law say?"
"My grandma said she believed in you! Our family is so poor that we don't even have enough to eat when the rats come. If they are trying to cheat us out of food, why would they come to us in the first place?
What's the point of cheating on something worthless? Besides, if you cheat once, won't the secret be revealed?
Second Uncle Fan and Sister-in-law Shui Qing are not stupid people. They can't stay in the village for a little chicken head rice. "Zhang Xiaocao said her mother-in-law's words intact.
Shui Qing was impressed by Aunt Zhang, a rural woman.
Such a person who can see clearly is really dragged down by the gambler.
Otherwise, with her hard work and clear mind, she would never have become the poorest family in Shanshui Village, living a life without a meal.
She opened her mouth and comforted her: "Xiaocao, please relax, our family will not cheat the chicken head rice. Your second uncle Fan has already gone to Fucheng to carry rice back."
Zhang Xiaocao felt relieved for his family when he heard that Uncle Fan was returning from Fucheng to carry rice.
She warned uneasily: "Sister-in-law, although my mother-in-law doesn't believe it, it seems that several families in the village do!
They may have to come to you to retreat together, and if you include those who are not firm, the situation may become chaotic.
My grandma said you should be prepared and don’t let anyone take advantage of your house. "
Shui Qing's heart felt warm, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said gratefully: "Xiaocao, sister-in-law, thank you for coming to tell me this in advance. When you go home, thank your mother for me and tell her that I know.
Don’t worry, my sister-in-law knows what’s going on. "
When doing acquisition business, especially when dealing with poor people, it is normal to encounter things.
After all, for them, a trivial matter can become a big deal, and a slight disturbance can easily be incited by someone with a deliberate intention.
Zhang Xiaocao was still worried, but looking at Shui Qingyun's calm demeanor, his uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
For some reason, she felt that Sister-in-law Shuiqing looked like someone who had done a big business!
She gave herself the feeling that she didn't take these petty gains seriously.
But Uncle Damu is a well-known shrewd person in the village. He stood up and said that Uncle Fan's family was cheating and they didn't have rice. Many people would believe it.
There will also be many people following him to make noise.
At that time, if everyone rushes in to grab rice, and then grabs things in a chaotic manner, how can Sister-in-law Shui Qing and a few children stop them...
Seeing Zhang Xiaocao turn around and leave, the smile on Shui Qing's face disappeared.
Her mother-in-law and the eldest brother of the Fan family, Fan Damu, right?
Maybe Sun Jinhua also contributed to the situation.
very good.
They agitated hard. How many people they instigated to ask for rice today, how much these people will hate them in the future!
I'm afraid that in the days to come, these families will no longer have peace.
She picked up a bamboo basket and told the two elders: "Yan Qiu, Xing Hui, I'm going out for a while. If someone comes, you kids, don't rush forward. No matter what, your own safety is the most important thing;
No matter how big the deal is, just wait until grandma comes back, you know? "
Yan Qiu and Xing Hui took their three younger brothers and nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, we are not annoyed! We will definitely not make any noise with them."
"We'll just keep growing the vegetable garden."
"Auntie, don't worry."
Thinking of what he had to do, Shui Qing had to go out even if he felt uneasy.
There is no way, there is no communication tool these days, so there is no way to inform Fan Jin in advance.
She could only rush to the agreed place agreed upon last night - otherwise when Fan Damu brought someone over later, she, the 'key person', would not be able to escape at all.
And if Fan Jin, who had been waiting for her for a long time, came back with an empty oxcart, wouldn't he have confirmed their lie?
Shui Qing took a deep breath and hurried to the agreed grove, silently praying to God to bless Fan Jin in his trip and to come back soon...
·
In the village, Fan's mother, Fan Damu and Fan Qian led a group of people to the last and most important house - the old village head's house.
The old village chief heard the news from his grandson a long time ago and stood under the eaves with a cane.
"Grandpa, please sit down, they are still making trouble." Li Changlin was wearing a scholar's gown. He was the only one among the younger generation in Shanshui Village who went to school.
The old village chief touched his grandson's furry head lovingly and asked casually: "Do you believe it?"
Li Changlin smiled at the corner of his mouth and replied loudly: "Master, I don't believe it! Second Uncle Fan just couldn't pass the imperial examination, his knowledge and character are nothing to say;
It was he who enlightened his grandson. Books are expensive, and it was he who bought the paper, bound it and copied it for you;
If he is a person who is greedy for money, he will not just buy the paper. If he is a person who is greedy for fame, he will not send it secretly without letting the villagers know. If he is a person who is greedy for repaying kindness, he will not say that he received the paper. We don’t owe him money or favors;
Moreover, when the teachers in the academy examined my knowledge, they said that I had a solid foundation and that the person who taught me not only had excellent knowledge but also taught very well!
Second Uncle Fan is talented and knowledgeable. If he is greedy for money, he can go to a noble man's house to find a job. Why fight for these petty profits in the village?
My grandson feels that Uncle Fan really wants to help our village! "
The old village chief's eyes were even more loving, and he hummed inaudibly.
He raised his wrinkled eyes and looked at the bustling crowd outside the adobe wall.
These people, what his twelve-year-old grandson understands, they still don’t understand.
It won't be long before they realize what they've missed...
"Old village chief, you have to make the decision for us!"
"A big disaster has happened in our village. Most of the people have been cheated. It's terrible."
"We must let Fan Jin and his wife return the things to us! If we dare not to return them, our village will not be able to accommodate their family!"
