Chapter 60

Qin Daping and his wife did not return until noon, when a donkey cart was full.

Rice, thick noodles, potato, Chinese cabbage, mustard.

There is also fifty pounds of pork that the whole family is looking forward to.

Wang Fengying has a bad temper. She has been married to Lao Qin's family for so many years. Although she has never been short of food and drink, this is the first time she has spent so much money on rice, noodles, meat and vegetables.

I deliberately parked the donkey cart at the door so that my neighbors could see it.

Sure enough, the movement of the donkey cart soon attracted the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the old Fang family next door to watch.

Mrs. Ding, the old lady, leaned at the door of her house and said in a fuss,

"Oh! What a windfall the Daping family has made recently! They added a donkey cart, a goat, and such a big cart. What a good thing. Open it up and let us open our eyes!"

Just when Wang Fengying wanted to show off, she was stopped by Mrs. Qin who was driving out.

"There's nothing good! Winter is about to begin. My Asiu is weak and cannot use firewood very hard. His eldest and second brothers collected a cart of firewood nearby and dried it. Let's bring it back together today."

Saying that, he gave Qin Daping a wink.

Qin Daping quickly pulled the donkey cart into the yard.

Ding stared at the donkey cart until her eyes almost bled.

"My aunt will tell us that the firewood needs to be covered so tightly? If we take a look at it, we can't show you a piece of meat missing, so why are you so stingy?"

Wang Fengying saw that her words were getting more and more bitter and she didn't want to show off anymore.

He immediately responded half jokingly and half seriously, "Old Ding, if you have the skills, go get some firewood for your mother-in-law to burn the kang. It's a pity that your mother-in-law used to work as a cow and a horse for you, and now she is paralyzed in bed.

No one cares about your excrement and urine, and you are not afraid that your wife will follow your example and not serve you in the future?"

Ms. Ding's face turned red and white as she spoke, "You stay under my bed every day. Do you know that my old lady has no one to care about her urine?"

"Do you need to guard under your bed? I can smell it when I pass by your door! Are you a fellow villager who doesn't even have a nose?"

"Neuropathy!"

Mrs. Ding was so angry that she shook her sleeves, took her daughter-in-law and went back, "What a good thing, don't read it!"

"You are crazy!"

Just as Wang Fengying was about to jump up and yell back, she was pulled into the yard by Mrs. Qin.

"Isn't it eye-catching enough?"

Wang Fengying felt aggrieved, "I don't hate her for being disrespectful to you."

"I'm not the old feudal lord of a wealthy family. I don't care whether she respects me or not."

Old Mrs. Qin gave her a blank look, "It's you, why did you park the donkey cart at the door? This year is a disaster year, and every household is short of rice and food. Aren't you deliberately trying to make people hate you?"

"Mom, what you said is what you said! I didn't think that our family has been in the village for so many years and has no place to stand out. This time it is rare to make a little money with two wild boars. If we can live a prosperous year, let people see it!"

"

Old Mrs. Qin knocked her on the head, "They say you are a smart person who acts stupidly at critical moments! You don't want to think about what will happen in another two months. By then, every household will probably have to eat tree bark. You know, we

With so much food stored at home, it’s a trivial matter to come to borrow it from your door, but if it’s stolen from you in the middle of the night, you don’t even know what’s going on!”

Wang Fengying turned pale with fright, "No, it can't be?"

"Why not? You are young and careless. When I was nine years old, it was also a year of disaster. I survived until the end, talking about tree bark, and was so hungry that even human flesh was eaten!"

The whole family seemed to have heard a ghost story, and they were all frightened.

Wang Fengying didn't dare to say anything anymore, "Then let's hide the food in the cellar quickly, but be sure not to let anyone see it."

After hiding the food, after lunch, Wang Fengying took her two daughters-in-law to pack the pork and the pheasants they had hunted a few days ago.

Zhao Jiner plucked chicken feathers, while Liu Meiyu used tweezers to pinch pig hairs.

"mother......"

Seeing that Wang Fengying was in a good mood and humming a little tune, Liu Meiyu shouted angrily.
