Chapter 10: A Big Eater Scares People to Death
A night of silence.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" In the loud singing voice of the big roosters in the village, Peach Blossom Village, which had been sleeping all night, gradually woke up.
The daughters-in-law from each family got off the bed one after another and immediately got into the kitchen.
Before daybreak, streaks of gray smoke floated over the smoky village.
At the dinner table, Liu Laohan was rolling his eyes at Liu Shuisheng.
Ever since Liu Shuisheng moved into his house, Liu Laohan would have a stomachache every time it was time to eat.
It is true that this guy works hard, but his appetite is also terrifying. He has to eat three large steamed buns in one meal, which is something Liu Laohan, who has always been careful about money, will never tolerate.
"You are really a starving ghost who was reincarnated. You can drink two bowls of whole grain rice like corn mush. You were born to do farm work!" Liu Laohan muttered as if he hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"Uh!" Liu Shuisheng raised his head, touched his head and said, "Dad, do you mean to let me eat less?"
Liu Laohan glanced at Liu Xing'er who was lowering her head and snickering, glared at her fiercely, and waved her hand helplessly: "Eat, eat, as many bowls as you can eat, I'm not a big girl."
,well!"
Liu Laohan also knew in his heart that Liu Shuisheng was not allowed to eat during the day, and Liu Xing'er would open a small stove for him at night. The eggs that had been stored at home for more than a year were eaten by him. In total, it was better to let him eat
How many more bowls of rice does he eat?
Liu Xing'er is the youngest in the family, and Liu Laohan can't bear to scold her. In fact, he doesn't dare to scold her even if he wants to. This girl is usually silent and very naughty, but Liu Laohan can't do anything to her.
"Shui Sheng, after dinner, help me do something!" Zhou Shufen was still not used to treating him as her son.
"Mom, what's the matter? Just ask!" Liu Shuisheng raised his head from the bowl, still swallowing the corn paste in his mouth.
Zhou Shufen said: "Your Aunt Shuli borrowed our hoe from me yesterday. I wanted to send it to her, but then it rained and it was delayed. You can send it to her house after dinner!"
The Aunt Shuli she mentioned was actually her biological sister.
As soon as he heard the word "Shu Li", Liu Laohan's triangular eyes suddenly lit up, he coughed and said, "Shui Sheng has never been to Shu Li's house. I don't know the way, so I'd better go and see her off!"
Zhou Shufen glared at him unhappily: "Where are you going? Shuli is a widow. Is it appropriate for you, a man, to go to her house?"
"I'm not afraid of slanted shadows, so what am I afraid of?" Liu Laohan seemed to be very enthusiastic about this matter: "Besides, I'm still her brother-in-law. Whoever dares to make irresponsible remarks will see if I don't slap him to death with the sole of my shoe!"
"You can do it at home, but when you go out, you don't even dare to say a word. You can't go anyway!" Zhou Shufen, who always obeyed Liu Laohan's words, had a tough attitude this time and told Liu Shuisheng: "Shui Sheng,
You go straight west along the village. There is a mud house next to the end of the village. The fence outside the courtyard is your aunt's house. You can go after dinner!"
Liu Shuisheng responded, and Liu Laohan clicked his tongue twice as if he had a toothache, his face full of disappointment and unwillingness.
"Mom, let me go with Shuisheng. I haven't seen Aunt Shuli for a long time. I miss her so much!" Liu Xing'er gave Liu Shuisheng a meaningful look and said.
Just when Zhou Shuli was about to agree, Liu Laohan frowned and said, "You're not allowed to go!"
"Why?" Liu Xinger asked strangely.
Liu Shuisheng pretended to be oblivious to what was going on outside the window and was still eating his meal. In fact, his heart was already jumping up and down. He was very afraid that Liu Xing'er would complain to Liu Laohan and accuse him of yesterday.
The late crimes were shaken out.
If this is the case, then he can only commit suicide by hitting the wall to thank the world.
"You are about to get married. What do you mean by following Shui Sheng around the mountains all day long? If Dong Jun finds out, how can you not think about it?" Liu Laohan glared at her and said, "There is no work in the fields today, so you are at home.
Follow your mother's example and you won't be able to go anywhere!"
When Liu Xing'er heard this, her originally cheerful face suddenly turned gloomy. After a moment of silence, she then said with a sharp mouth: "I don't want to marry Dong Jun!"
"What?" Liu Laohan and Zhou Shufen looked at her at the same time, seeming very surprised: "What did you say? Don't marry him? Say it again!"
"I said, I won't marry Dong Jun, I don't like him!" Liu Xinger raised her voice, declaring her determination.
"Girl! What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Laohan glanced at Liu Shuisheng and knew that this kid was responsible for the trouble. He said angrily: "We have accepted the bride price, and now you say you don't want to marry.
Isn't this nonsense if you don't marry? What's wrong with Dong Jun? The young man is fair and fair, and his family conditions are good. His father is a teacher in the town, which is an iron rice bowl! If you marry, you can still
Did I lose you?"
When Liu Xing'er heard this, she became angry and suddenly stood up and said: "Are you marrying your daughter or selling something? Do I have to marry him because his family is well off? Anyway, I don't like him, so I want to marry him.
Marry yourself."
Liu Laohan was so angry that his beard stood up, his skinny chest bulged, and the veins on his forehead jumped high.
Before he could get angry, Liu Xing'er said again: "Dad, I have tolerated these words from you for a long time. You only care about money and don't care about the life and death of our three sisters. You know better than me how the eldest sister is living now.
Has she ever had a peaceful life since marrying Song Baokun? The second sister hasn’t been home for how many days. Aren’t you angry with you? If you dare to force me again, I will die for you.”
After saying that, she didn't even eat, got up, left her seat, and went into her room angrily.
"You, you" Liu Laohan's face turned red and his eyeballs bulged out.
He started to stutter when he was angry. After saying "you" for a long time, he suddenly turned his head and threw his anger at Zhou Shufen: "I'm so mad at you. It doesn't matter what kind of daughter you raised. Just die. Just die. Just treat me as if I'm not."
Give birth to this third girl!"
Zhou Shufen lowered her head and said nothing, while Liu Shuisheng drank the paste in small sips, but his heart was filled with joy.
"You're laughing your ass off, you're laughing, I won't marry you even if I let her be an old girl for the rest of her life." Liu Laohan scolded Liu Shuisheng, picked up his pipe and pot and went out for a walk to relax.
"Am I so bad?" Liu Shuisheng looked at Zhou Shufen, looking very shocked.
"Alas!" Zhou Shufen shook her head and sighed, giving him a sympathetic look.
As Liu Xing'er's mother, how could Zhou Shufen not understand her daughter's thoughts!
In fact, she quite likes Liu Shuisheng. She thinks this guy is handsome, down-to-earth and hard-working, and has no bad habits. Myolie will definitely not be wronged in the future if she marries him.
But in the Liu family, she had no right to speak. Liu Laohan was the most greedy man in the village. He wanted to break every penny in half and spend it. Even if an ant crawled in front of him, he had to find a way to get two pieces of meat.
He only has money in his eyes, and the conditions for choosing a son-in-law are also very specific. First, the family must have three large tile-roofed houses, his parents must be young and capable, he must be famous in his own village, and preferably he must have a decent job.
As for their son's character, appearance, and inconsistency, it was not within his scope at all.
Liu Laohan is a very face-conscious person and always wants to be treated as a prominent figure in the village.
But he always says some outrageous things and does some unreliable things. He wants to take care of everything, but nothing can be done well.
Everyone in the village scolded him for his defective eyes behind his back, but never regarded him as a piece of cake.
Liu Laohan also knew that relying on his own abilities, he would not be able to make a mark in the village. So he thought of marrying all three of his daughters to more "powerful" people so that he could rise with the tide.
Increase your "worth" in the village.
To put it nicely, Liu Shuisheng is their "godson"; to put it worst, he is their family's free long-term helper. For a street kid like this who has nothing and can't even figure out his own life experience, he is the one who makes Liu Xing
If my son marries a beggar, he will not marry Liu Shuisheng.
