Chapter 93
After arranging the food properly, the big stone weighing on the family's chest finally fell.
Just as the Qin family was busy every night, Ding's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, two talkative women, spread the news to the whole village that the old Qin family's cellar was filled with white rice and flour.
"Her family is so smart that they collected all the grain before the hailstorm. She also made a fortune somewhere and bought a cart of grain. My wife and I saw it with our own eyes!"
"You're so far away, you don't know. My house is right next door to her house. Every day I see her chimney burning brightly, and the smell of rice mixed with the smell of meat comes straight to my yard!"
When everyone heard this at first, they all felt that Ding's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were extremely boring.
"What does it have to do with us that people have food in their houses? Hurry up and pick up the leaves in the mountains. By the end of the day, the bark will be gone."
Mrs. Ding put on her old face and pretended to be pitiful, "Hey, Lao Fang and I, our son and wife, are doing nothing by chewing tree bark every day, but isn't my old lady bedridden? If she keeps going like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive this."
It's winter.
Her old lady smelled the fragrance coming from next door every day, and she was so greedy that her pillow was wet with saliva.
A few days ago, I had this old face, thinking about my neighbors for so many years, and asked them to borrow some grain and cook some paste for my old woman to eat. Who would have thought that the Wang family didn't just want to borrow grain, but actually took two pieces of beef?
Give me shit! Is it so insulting!"
When the villagers heard this, they also felt that Wang Fengying was bad, "Well, even if Wang has always been fierce, how can she be so wicked?"
"There is food at home, let's shake it." Ms. Ding sneered, "You don't know, for fear that others will rob her, you won't even let me in through the courtyard door!"
Among the crowd listening to the excitement, there happened to be Sun Guangping's wife Qian.
The Qian family suffered a lot at the hands of Wang Fengying for breeding donkeys, and she still holds a grudge against her.
It happened that her family had been short of food for a long time. She had been swallowing wild vegetables and chewing tree bark every day, and her throat was almost bleeding. When she heard that Lao Qin's family had white flour and white rice, she immediately became interested.
"In a village, you can't see what you see when you look up. Don't you think Wang is so picky? I'm going to try it today and see if I can borrow two bowls of rice to make porridge for my wife. My wife is six months pregnant.
It’s just that I don’t have any oil or water, I can’t even drink porridge, what a sin!”
As soon as Qian said this, several women who were also interested in the Qin family's food supply agreed.
"My grandson is only four months old, and his mother is so hungry that she doesn't have a drop of milk. I went to borrow a bowl of flour from Sister Wang to see if I could give his mother some milk."
"My family has been suffering from colds recently. I can't eat anything every day. I just want to drink porridge. I'll try it too."
After a while, Ding actually gathered a dozen women and came to the door of Qin's house.
Hum, I asked you to give me cow dung cake, there are so many people, how can you still not get even a hair out of it?
When Mrs. Qin opened the door, she was frightened by the thick crowd of heads at the door. She thought something had happened to the village.
"What's going on?"
Ding and Qian took the lead and walked up, "Auntie, we are here to borrow food."
Mrs. Qin glanced at the ten or so people who were approaching menacingly, and coupled with Ding's proud look, she guessed that these people were all brought here by her provocation.
Oh, luckily I listened to Jin Yatou and moved all the food from home.
If you don't look at this posture and don't provide food, Ding will definitely cause trouble.
He immediately smiled and said, "It's cold outside, come in and sit down. Jinya, please boil some hot water for the aunts."
Wang Fengying and the others have all gone out, and she and Zhao Jin'er are the only ones staying at home today.
