Chapter 11: poking sore feet
Chapter 11 is dedicated to poking the sore feet
When the goldfish-eyed woman heard this, two sparse eyebrows immediately stood up, and she stared at Ye Anlan, "How dare you!"
Ye Anlan nodded calmly, "You are right, I dare."
Everyone: .
The goldfish-eyed woman rolled her eyes angrily at Ye Anlan's strange way of taking threats as affirmations. She was about to say a few more words, but Lao Li was impatiently listening to her in the cold wind.
He said to the golden fish-eyed woman: "There are many people who can prove that your daughter pushed Yuanniang into the river. If you insist on continuing to make trouble, then my old man will not go to the town today. Let's call the villagers who were there that day." Find them all, and then invite a few village elders to come over and discuss together to see how much silver taels your family should pay the Ye family."
The goldfish-eyed woman glared and wanted to accuse the old man of favoring the Ye family, but the old man said again: "Of course, I will not favor the Ye family. Let's discuss it and see how much she should pay you so that you can consult a doctor."
The goldfish-eyed woman stopped talking immediately.
Although Ye Anlan slapped her, Ye Anlan has good control. If the old man invites a doctor to examine her injuries, 99% of the time the doctor will not prescribe medicine for the goldfish-eyed woman.
Compared to Ye Anlan being so ill that the Ye family and his wife could only sell the house to raise money, her minor injury is nothing worth mentioning.
If this really puts the matter on the table, and the two families pay each other their money under the witness of Li Zheng and the village elder, wouldn't they be the ones who end up homeless in the end?
This is not okay!
As for refusing to admit that Ye Anlan's falling into the water was caused by her daughter, she just clung to today's incident. It's not that the goldfish-eyed woman could not have imagined this trick, but she just didn't dare, and didn't dare to be under the noses of Li Zhenghe and the village elders. , showing their rogue attributes.
Jinyuyan's mother and daughter were forced to die due to the situation, Ye Anlan and Li Shi took advantage of it and just accepted it. The two groups of people ended the fight hastily under Li Zheng's simple mediation.
Of course, this is only temporary, and the two will definitely continue to have conflicts afterwards.
***
"Mother, you sit here." Before Jinyuyan's mother and daughter could react, Ye Anlan had already handed over the copper coins and picked a good seat for Li Shi and herself on the bullock cart.
Seeing this, Lao Li got back into the bullock cart with the help of his grandson.
Other people who were waiting for the car (watching a play) at the entrance of the village met, so they also handed over the copper coins, and got on the bullock cart with unsatisfactory intentions, and divided up the remaining few good seats.
The Jinyuyan mother and daughter who reacted the slowest could only hold back their stomachs and sat down against the cold wind to sit in the two seats side by side with Lin Erbo, the owner of the bullock cart.
The bullock cart was moving very slowly, and because of the road conditions, it was very bumpy to sit on. If it wasn't for Li Shi, Ye Anlan really didn't want to suffer this crime.
Especially those who were in the same car with them, and the goldfish-eyed mother and daughter who couldn't beat her but were unwilling to admit defeat.
The mother and daughter had not been in the bullock cart for a cup of tea, but the woman with golden fish eyes provoked Ye Anlan and her daughter again, separated by two villagers.
"There are some people who don't even look at who they are. The poor rats in their families don't even come to the door, and they still dream of marrying the master Juren. Pooh, she doesn't even look at whether she is that material! Let me tell you, this is a high branch, not everyone has the ability to climb it smoothly. Some people, even if they climb up for a while, they are not abandoned in the end!"
Everyone in the car realized who the goldfish-eyed woman was talking about when they heard the words "Master Juren".
Mrs. Li, who was eager to nurse her daughter, almost jumped up and beat people, while Lao Lizheng, who was tired of the goldfish-eyed woman who kept looking for trouble, frowned and wanted to reprimand him, but before the two of them could react, Ye Anlan snatched him away Stabbed back in the front.
Her tone was flat, her face was expressionless, she didn't know she thought it was an emotive word machine, "Some people don't even look at who they are, the poor rats at home don't even come to the door, and they still have the face to chew on here She misses others. Pooh, she doesn’t even look at what kind of life she’s living! Let me tell you, it’s sarcastic. Not everyone has the qualifications to stand up and make fun of people. Some people , I don’t know if their family has enough food to eat, whether there is enough firewood to burn, whether they have made thick cotton clothes and thick quilts, can the elderly and children in the family have a bite of meat during the Chinese New Year?”
Everyone: Good guy, this is really a good guy.
The goldfish-eyed woman was stabbed in the sore foot by Ye Anlan several times, she opened her mouth, and stabbed the other side a few more times, but Lao Lizheng pulled her in the face and told her to "get out of here if you're looking for trouble again" stopped.
***
After finally arriving in the town in the biting cold wind with everyone, Ye Anlan couldn't wait to help Li Shi get out of the ox cart.
The mother and daughter first went to the two rows of shops along the street to buy needlework, coarse salt, soy sauce, flour, red dates, sugar cubes, mung bean cakes, and then went to the market to buy two chickens, two catties of pork ribs, ten catties of pork belly, ten catties of Suet and a basket of eggs.
After coming out of the market, Ye Anlan bought a few bunches of candied haws for her younger siblings with Li Shi's disapproving eyes.
The mother and daughter acted very quickly. After staying in the town for about half an hour, they took the back basket for carrying things and went to the place appointed with the owner of the bullock cart, Lin Erbo, to wait for the cart.
Standing at the temporary "waiting point", with the howling cold wind blowing in front of her face, Ye Anlan changed her mind in a second.
She couldn't help but pull Mrs. Li into the small noodle shop diagonally opposite the "waiting point", "Please bring us two bowls of hot noodle soup."
Li Shi: .
Li Shi, who failed to stop Ye Anlan from spending money last time, held the big thick porcelain bowl brought by the store, warmed his hands while carefully eating the hot clear soup hand-rolled noodles in the bowl.
After finally lingering in the noodle shop, Lin Erbo came to pick him up in an ox cart, and Ye Anlan took Li Shi, who was so pained by her spending money, out to take the car.
There were other people in the car, and it was difficult for Mrs. Li to teach her prodigal daughter a lesson, so she could only silently save the earnest admonition of "diligent and thrifty housekeeping" until she got home.
That night, because Mrs. Li ate a small stove in the town, she couldn't stop her prodigal daughter from distributing mung bean cakes and candied haws to other children.
Not only was she unable to stop her, she was even fooled by the eldest daughter, and she just took out a bowl of oil residue to satisfy the children's cravings.
In the next two days, the Ye family first used white bread to make large dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, then steamed a basket of white flour buns, and stewed a pot of sauerkraut vermicelli with oil residue.
The corners of the children's mouths are dripping with oil, and their enthusiasm for literacy and martial arts is unprecedentedly high-Ye Anlan said that if the children can complete the tasks she assigns every day for ten days in a row, then she will ask Mrs. Li to help them. Children eat stew.
