Chapter 015: Unhappy Retribution

Feng Yue and Feng Mei also saw Li, and were unwilling to deal with her, so she left with a basket.

"stop!"

Li had been so angry that when he saw these girls ignoring her, he suddenly became angry and strode to the people.

"Damn girl, are you blind? Didn't you see me standing here?" She glanced at the weeds in the baskets in several people's hands. In her eyes, she immediately said disdainfully: "Your mother walked so much money from my hands. Why can't you afford to eat? She actually came to dig such weeds that even pigs didn't eat."

“This is not weed.”

Feng Mei retorted angrily. Feng Yue touched her arm and signaled her not to speak, and then smiled and said, "It's Aunt Li, sorry, we didn't see it just now. Are you going up the mountain? Then we won't delay you, please."

She is older and has a more stable temperament. She will only have endless conflicts with people like Li. If you can't afford to offend, can't you still avoid it?

Li did not give up. Seeing them put the basket beside them like treasures, they felt more and more suspicious.

"What's not a weed?" She looked at Ji Wan contemptuously and resentfully, "I always know that I pretend to be pitiful like your charming girl. Who doesn't know that your family is the richest in the village..."

"Aunt San!"

Ji Wan interrupted her coldly, "God is above, good and evil will be rewarded. As a human being, it is best to keep your mouth clean, otherwise you will go to the hell of tongue pulling out your tongue in the future, but you will never even have the chance to shout for help."

"Damn girl, you dare to curse me."

Li was a little guilty when she said it, and was so angry that she wanted to step forward and beat her.

Feng Yue and Feng Mei were about to come forward to help immediately. Ji Wan sneered and grabbed her wrist directly.

"Aunt San, you are an elder, and your behavior of hitting people at any time will not sound so good when it is spread. Uncle San is angry and will not be sure if you will have a break because of your future."

She knew that when she was separated that day, Uncle San said that she had divorced her wife.

Li's pupils shrank, and she was obviously afraid. She glared at Ji Wan with resentment, "Damn girl, don't be too proud too soon. Sooner or later I want you to look good. Let me go!"

I don’t know where this dead girl got so much strength, so she couldn’t break free.

Ji Wan snorted coldly and let go.

Li took two steps back inertially, noticing that there was a small stone under his feet. His heel was immediately tripped, and his body tilted and fell to the ground.

"Ouch--"

The palm of her palm was cut by a stone, which made her scream in pain.

"Let's go."

Ji Wan didn't plan to pay attention to her, so she took the two little sisters to go elsewhere and continued to dig wild vegetables. Each of them dug a large basket and took it home.

"Is this the wild vegetables that can be eaten?"

Ji Rong took his younger brother to come over to see him curiously. Since he was in the countryside, he has seen winter vegetables and shepherd's purse. But he didn't know how to eat these two kinds of wild vegetables before, so he was all considered wild grass.

"Um."

Ji Wan put the wild vegetables into the kitchen, "I will make them for you to eat tonight."

"good."

Ji Rong nodded happily.

Ji Heng handed her a chestnut, "Second sister, eat chestnuts."

Ji Wan bought two kilograms of chestnuts today, and spent twenty-four cents, two kilograms of tofu, ten kilograms, and two kilograms of maltose, totaling twenty-six cents.

After having an income, Zhou did not blame his daughter for spending more money. At dinner, he said that the matter of building a house was settled and construction could start tomorrow.

Ji Wan said: "Well, in this way, we can celebrate the New Year in our new house this year."

Ji Rong's eyes were bright, "It's great, so it won't be a problem for grandma and the others to always come and cause trouble." Although the north slope is not far away, it's better than just a wall now.

"Sister, the dishes you cooked are so delicious." Ji Rong praised while eating, "It's a pity that the hot dishes cannot be sold in the town."

She spoke unintentionally, but Ji Wan felt aroused in her heart when she heard it.

Hot dishes cannot be sold on a single basis, but the recipe is OK. Many modern dishes are not available in this era.

I had this idea in my mind, but she didn't say it for the time being. Things have to be done step by step, and I will sell scallion pancakes first.

Early the next morning, she got up, and her mother and sister came to help. Ji Rong set fire to the fire, Ji Wan knead the noodles, fried scallion oil, Zhou's cake embryos and pancakes. The three of them divided the work and cooperated quickly to prepare forty-eight scallion oil pancakes.

Then take out a wooden basin, lay a layer of cloth inside, put the scallion pancake in, and cover it.

When Ji Ping and Ji Cheng came, Ji Wan just put the wooden basin into the basket.

"Brother, second brother, please trouble you."

Ji Wan thanked her with a smile.

"Yesterday you asked Arong to send over a dozen scallion pancakes, which are worth 21 cents. We should thank us."

Ji Ping said embarrassedly.

Zhou walked out and reminded: "Aping, Acheng, you must be careful on the way, come back quickly after selling the cakes."

"Second Aunt, don't worry."

Ji Ping and Ji Cheng left with scallion pancakes.

After a while, Miao came over again, "Yuqiong, I've just arrived here and said I'm going to push the house. I'll let your elder brother come over and watch it, so you can rest assured."

As the saying goes, there are many troubles in front of a widow, and Zhou is also beautiful. The people who build houses are all men, and she is indeed not suitable for her to come forward in person.

"Sister-in-law, thank you."

Zhou was really grateful and handed over the twelve taels of silver that his daughter gave her last night to Miao. "This is the money and wages for buying materials. If it is not enough, you can say it again."

"The house you built is not big, so you can't use that much, ten taels are enough."

Miao gave her two taels of silver, "You can collect it first. If it is really not enough, I will come to you again."

"OK."

Zhou took it with a smile.

Zhou's family wanted to build a new house, and everyone in the village was alarmed and ran to the north slope to watch the fun.

"Ji's family has only been separated for a few days, and Zhou's family is going to build a new house this time?"

"The Zhou family has divided about ten taels of silver, which is enough."

"The New Year is coming soon, and all the money is used to build a house, so what else can I eat?"

"They have chickens, ducks and pigs. They sell them for nearly two taels of silver, and hundreds of kilograms of white flour, black noodles and sweet potatoes. It will not be a problem to eat them until the autumn harvest next year."

"Don't Zhou's four girls have a place to live? Why do you have to waste money to build a house again?"

"I heard that Aunt Liu and Li from the third family of Ji Lao San were unwilling to share so much money for Zhou. They went to her house every day to make trouble, bullying the orphans and widows, and also snatching food from others. Zhou was probably afraid, so he had to spend money to change the place and build a house again and ask for peace."

"As these days, even if you have money, you can't live a good life."

"That's not? Ji Laosan's money for studying is given by his brother and sister-in-law. Ji Laos' second child died. His wife bullied his sister-in-law and niece every day. She was really heartless. Zhou was also pitiful."

"That's right, yesterday I went to pick up firewood. From a distance, I saw Li blocking the second girl from the Zhou family and the two big girls from the Feng family, wanting to beat someone, but I ended up falling and eating mud."

"She deserves it." The woman who spoke spat, "When she used to be like a young lady at home, she now uses the chopping firewood, washing clothes, and cooking every day, and she knows what retribution means."

Li's harshness is famous, and his popularity is quite poor in the village. Once he is down and out, he will naturally be scolded by thousands of people.

Not far away, Aunt Ding, who was going to fetch water from the river, heard the discussion here, and then looked at a group of men pushing a thatched hut on the north slope, with their eyes flashing. She hurried back home, then hurried out to find Chen, the third daughter who had been a widow for several years.
