Chapter 59: Leaving Fan Jin's family without a place to stand
There was lively chatter in the open space, and as soon as the water cleared, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
This is a tacit understanding formed when selling chicken heads and rice. After all, there are many people, and if there is a little noise when weighing and counting, it may interrupt or make mistakes.
Everyone spontaneously closed their mouths and waited quietly.
Shui Qing looked at the neat rows and rows of bamboo baskets in the open space, and the joy in her eyes was even greater than that of everyone else.
She first announced the number of kilograms of rice she would exchange for: "The open bamboo mushrooms have much less flavor and texture, and the kilograms of rice that can be exchanged are the least."
When the women waiting in line heard this, their hearts that were so nervous gradually relaxed.
The open bamboo mushrooms are not as delicious anymore, so it is normal not to exchange them for a few taels of rice. After all, they themselves pick the tender ones to make soup.
Chop it, chop it, and feed it to the chickens and ducks.
"So, the bamboo mushrooms that open the umbrella are exchanged for three kilograms of rice."
Many women opened their mouths in surprise, including the boss: Can you take back the bamboo mushrooms that you fed to the chickens and ducks?
One pound of bamboo mushrooms can be exchanged for three pounds of rice. Ouch, I suddenly feel that the chickens and ducks at home are so expensive!
Shui Qing continued: "One pound of unopened umbrellas is exchanged for four pounds, and skirt mushrooms are exchanged for one pound for four pounds. Do you hear me clearly? If you have any ideas, you can put them forward directly."
"Is it dried or fresh?"
Shuiqing replied: "Fresh." Most mushrooms still like to eat fresh.
Hearing that it was new, Aunt Li excitedly held her daughter's hand and stammered: "Hurry, my daughter, hurry up, go back and tell the whole family to go pick mushrooms on the mountain!"
Li Tiantian didn't wait for her mother to finish speaking, and ran towards home quickly with her legs.
The other women were both happy and anxious at the moment. They just wished that there was no sound transmission from thousands of miles away, so they couldn't tell their families to stop having lunch and go up the mountain to pick mushrooms!
One pound for four pounds of rice! I have to pick up the torches tonight.
"God bless me, and it will rain every day."
"It really doesn't work, even if it rains every three days!"
The people who lined up to be weighed no longer felt as relaxed as before, and ran home with a puff of smoke on their soles as if they were greased.
I am afraid that if I say more words, I will miss a mushroom.
There are mushrooms to pick up, and the mushrooms you pick can be exchanged for real food. The whole village is filled with joy.
At the same time, Fan Damu and Fan Qian Wang Mazi's face was also filled with joy, sweeping away the gloom of the previous ten days.
These days, except for Zhang Tuzi who is still too lazy to go to heaven and has not been affected much, the three of them have been having a hard time.
Especially Wang Mazi, his life at home for the past half month can be said to be very sad.
In the past, he was in charge of the whole family and always said the right thing. Which son and daughter-in-law would dare to disobey him? Who dares to talk back?
But after returning the goods last time, Fan Jin no longer accepted the chicken head rice from his family no matter what. Apart from his family, other families in the village were in full swing. Even if he deliberately tried to provoke them, they would not pay attention to him!
His family members were even more sarcastic and scolded him, especially his daughters-in-law, who dared to openly say that he was an old fool, blinded by lard, and greedy. He asked his son to beat his wife severely with a stick, and the son actually said that he When you get old, you should have a good rest. Don't make your family miserable.
Was it him? It was obvious that none of his daughters-in-law respected him as a father-in-law!
He looked at the fat man wearing a red and purple gown who was walking at the front, and whispered to Fan Qian beside him: "Today Fan Er's classmate is here, let's see how he can still quibble!"
Fan Qian understood the idea and was equally proud: "We will expose his trick in front of the villagers later!
Not only will he be unable to stay in our village, he will also no longer have a place in the academy, in the city, or in front of his classmates. "
Fan Damu, who was leading the way, heard the conversation between the two people behind him and said sadly: "I didn't expect that my cousin, as a scholar, didn't learn etiquette, justice and integrity, but actually learned to deceive and pretend to be fat!
But he didn't want to think about it. After all, this was not a long-term solution. The food he exchanged could only last for a while. If time went by and there was no more food to replace, why shouldn't he be exposed? Besides, the food might have come on credit in the name of Brother Fugui! "
"He just wanted to ruin his reputation, but now he drags Brother Fugui into the water. He has evil intentions."
Zhao Fugui heard that it made sense, and the big head nodded in approval.
It was raining, and his brocade shoes were extremely dirty when he walked on the dirt. Even the hem of his gown was splattered with mud. He was getting angry at first, but after hearing Fan Damu's words, he suddenly felt that the dirt on his clothes and shoes was the same as the dirt on his clothes and shoes. Compared with muddy ideas, stains on reputation are intolerable.
"We must not let Fan Jin use my name to cheat!"
"I originally wanted to let him go when we were classmates, but then I thought about it. He deceived the villagers in this way and ruined not only his reputation and mine, but also the reputation of our college masters and the reputation of scholars all over the world!"
Fan Damu and the other three people echoed: "Yes, yes! Brother Fugui is really selfless."
"Master Zhao said it well."
"The reputation of scholars in the world must not be ruined by Fan Jin."
When passing by their homes, in order to increase the momentum, they went home and gathered their families.
Fan Qian and Fan Damu's family all showed up, but Wang Mazi's sons and daughters-in-law were determined not to listen to him this time.
Angry, Wang Mazi jumped at the door and insulted: "A bunch of ignorant people, they can't even keep up with the heat of eating shit!"
"When I get rich, don't blame me for disowning you if you approach me again."
"If you don't want to admit it, then don't admit it! Dad, can you please stop being a demon and stop harming your children at such an old age?"
"My daughter-in-law advises Dad to be more content. Life at home is not bad, why do you have to do things that will not end well?"
"Fuck you! You dare to teach me how to do things?"
Seeing that Wang Mazi was not a man who would listen to advice, the scolding became more and more unpleasant, and the doors of each room were slammed shut.
"I will beat you to death when I come back!" Wang Mazi saw that he could not call his son and daughter-in-law, so he scolded for a while, and left with a dark face and a fierce word.
The old man who was left to cook for the neighbors shook his head secretly.
The old man is good, and it is easier for a family to live in peace.
Wang Mazi is going to make the family restless. I am afraid that he will be like the youngest son of the Fan family in the future and will have to separate and live separately.
But it's better to split up the family. With such a father who doesn't know how to deal with things and likes to listen to him in everything, how can the son and daughter-in-law live happily together...
Zhang Baldy was a little tempted, but after thinking about the words of the old village chief, he was too lazy to move.
Why so diligent?
It's better to lie down. He just needs a place to lie down. It doesn't matter whether he eats well or not.
Seeing that Zhang Baldy couldn't be called, Fan Qianji cursed angrily.
Finally, after integrating them, Wang Mazi's family only had him, Fan Damu's family had thirteen people, old and young, and Fan Qian's family had nine people.
Bai Ziqian was also there.
He looked at the fat man in front, wearing a purple-red long gown and looking arrogant, with a heavy look in his eyes.
