"What's the use of going to the village chief? Apart from these twenty eggs, it's just a joke." Back at Ye Chuqiu's home, Li Youmei said angrily.
"There is no other use, but it can prevent you from being too much trouble when Wu Ming and others make big mistakes." Ye Chuqiu answered.
What she could foresee was that before Wu Ming lived in the village, he was at least restrained, but now, he has become the king of the mountain, and he is afraid that he will not let go even the villagers of Lin'an Village in the future.
He has attacked the villagers of Lin'an Village again and again. How can the villagers not hate them? They will definitely turn their anger on himself and others. Now, he takes Li Youmei to visit the house leader's house to give everyone a vaccination in advance. If it really happens
Whatever happened, it might as well alleviate the villagers' resentment towards them.
"Sister-in-law, we all understand what you are saying, but the problem now is that Wu Ming and his gang can't be caught, and we don't have the financial resources to report to the government. Now my family has nothing, what should I do?" Lin Qingyun raised his head and looked at Ye
Early autumn.
"It's easy to handle. You go to the mountains to find Wu Ming and ask him to return the money to you. That'll be it." Ye Chuqiu glanced at him and said calmly.
"Sister-in-law, what you said is so easy. We don't know where Wu Ming went." Lin Qingyun said.
"Wherever they robbed before, they will definitely be there in the future." Ye Chuqiu said: "You don't know anything about the places where they robbed homes, right?"
Lin Qingyun lowered his head, "They are going to rob homes. If we ask, then we won't be their accomplices."
"Oh, so you just ignored it and deceived yourself and others."
This truth angered Lin Qingyun and his wife again, but now that they wanted something from Ye Chuqiu, they naturally did not dare to get angry at her. They just cried and said sarcastically: "Sister-in-law, we are all like this, can you please stop hitting us?"
Is it true? I know we are obsessed with it, but we didn’t expect these things."
"Yes, sister-in-law, we have all gone to the mayor's house with you. Do you allow us to borrow money?" Li Youmei also asked again.
"It's okay to borrow money, but I told you that you must write down the date of repayment. It's not difficult to borrow money again. If you haven't paid it back by the time limit, you have to come work for me." Ye Chuqiu said.
.
"Sister-in-law, we don't have any land now, and we can't pay you back. Otherwise, our whole family will just come to you as long-term workers after the Chinese New Year." Lin Qingyun said.
"Forget it, I'll lend you the money, just write the IOU."
As Ye Chuqiu said that, he also walked into the house, took out five taels of silver, wrote an IOU and asked them to sign it, and then said: "I know you have no way to pay back the money now, why did I force you just now?"
I have to write down the repayment date because I am afraid that you will become inert and think of relying on us instead of making progress.
But then I thought about it, you are all adults, and I just forced you to write down the date of repayment. You may still resent me and feel that I am unwilling to help you when you are in trouble, so this money
, I’d better lend it to you directly. You can pay it back whenever you want. If you don’t want to pay it back, I won’t ask for it.”
"Sister-in-law..."
Hearing Ye Chuqiu's words, Lin Qingyun and his wife felt a little ashamed. In fact, their intention was not to pay back the money, otherwise they would not have just borrowed five taels of silver.
When Ye Chuqiu said this, Lin Qingyun only handed over three taels of silver and said: "During the Chinese New Year, we should have spent two taels of silver. After the New Year, I will take the children to cultivate two acres."
It's really not possible to live in wasteland, so just like Lao San, you can still make a living by burning charcoal."
"If you have really learned a lesson this time, I still have many skills here. It just depends on whether you are willing to work hard and learn." Ye Chuqiu said.
"We are willing to learn. We are willing to learn. After the Chinese New Year, we will come to sister-in-law to learn skills from you. But at that time, I hope you will not find us annoying."
"As long as you are willing to study hard." Ye Chuqiu said lightly, and then said to Zhao Hehua: "Hehua, go to the house to decorate the New Year's goods for them, and let their family celebrate the New Year."
"yes."
Zhao Hehua went into the kitchen, gave them some rice, flour, meat, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other items, filled a box full, and asked them to take it away.
It was originally a good year, although there was a bit of haze due to the incident with the second wife, but at night, when seeing the table full of sumptuous meals, Ye Chuqiu's heart all the haze disappeared, and he only focused on the food.
The family had a good time drinking together.
The wine is newly brewed rice wine, sweet, mellow and fragrant, so delicious that even children can take a sip.
Dishes include roasted chicken, braised duck, braised pork, stir-fried donkey meat, steamed bacon with pickles, fish in vinegar, stuffed tofu, radish ball soup, stir-fried cabbage, etc.
The dishes are all cooked in iron pots, farmhouse earthen pots and earthen stoves, and the dishes cooked out are extremely fragrant. Especially when Zhao Hehua was cooking these dishes, Ye Chuqiu specially reminded her to be willing to add oil, so this dish
The taste is three points more delicious than usual, not inferior to that of a restaurant chef.
Even Zhao Hehua herself couldn't believe that such a delicious meal was made by her. You must know that the meals she made before were not so delicious.
Ye Chuqiu heard her question and said, "You usually just brush some oil on the radish stalks, and the dishes you make will be delicious. Without my supervision today, you will definitely not be able to make such delicious dishes."
"Yes, that's what mother taught you." Zhao Hehua nodded repeatedly and said, "The cooking is delicious, but it consumes oil too quickly. I'm afraid the elders in the village won't be willing to use oil like us, right?"
"What do you care about other people's homes? Our family can afford it anyway."
Ye Chuqiu said: "You all know how much money the family has made during this period. It is enough to have some good food and good food. Besides, if there is a famine and food prices rise sharply, then a pound of white rice can be sold."
For the price of two pounds of fat meat, it’s better to take advantage of the current stable food prices to buy more vegetables and eat better, don’t you think this makes sense?”
"That's the truth. Mom is right, you should eat better."
Regarding Ye Chuqiu's words, Lin Sihu was the first to applaud and agree. Although Wufeng on the side did not speak, he also clapped his hands in agreement.
Seeing them like this, Zhao Hehua shook his head helplessly. These children don't know how to feel sad. Even if they have to go begging the next day, they are probably happy.
"Don't worry, my mother won't let everyone suffer from poverty in the future. Our lives will be better and better in the future. We don't need to save money just for one bite." Ye Chuqiu said, picking up the wine glass again, "Here,
Celebrating the New Year.”
Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them with her. Ye Chuqiu drank the wine in one gulp, poured another glass and drank it herself, thinking in her heart: celebrating the new life.
