Chapter 18 The daughter-in-law's drowned daughter (18)
When Jiang Hongxiu woke up the next day, her eyes were severely swollen. If it were normal times, her mother would have come over to care about her.
But little did he know that after Shi Jiang went on strike, Liu Xiaocao was doing all the housework at home.
She woke up early in the morning and had not rested for the past two days. Liu Xiaocao, who had not worked so hard for a long time, was exhausted mentally and physically. How could he have the time to care about whether his daughter's eyelids were swollen or not.
Every time she wanted to throw things instead of curse, she thought about her little treasury and what Jiang Fugui said while holding her last night. Only then did Liu Xiaocao grit her teeth and endure it.
.
The most important thing is that after Jiang Fugui got up early in the morning, he asked Shi Jiang to go to work in the fields. Even if she scolded people for not doing the work, no one scolded her, let alone helped her do it.
Even when I saw Jiang Hong showing off, I complained a lot in my heart, feeling that my daughter didn't worry at all and didn't know how to get up early and help her with some work.
She completely forgot that she had deliberately condoned Jiang Hongxiu's behavior in the past.
At that time, Shi Jiang went to bed later than a dog and got up earlier than a chicken.
Get up to work before dawn, and when they get up, just sit down and eat.
If she didn't do anything to her liking, Shi Jiang would be beaten or scolded.
I don’t know if that dead girl fell into the river and was drowned, but now she can throw bowls and chopsticks if she says anything she doesn’t like.
Thinking of Shi Jiang who used to be so obedient and hard-working, Liu Xiaocao felt some complaints in his heart.
She felt that if the people in the village hadn't been so nosy, this damn girl would have drowned a long time ago. How could she have treated her family like this?
However, it’s only for a few days, so bear with it!
If it weren't for money, she wouldn't have tolerated this damn girl sitting on top of her head and dominating her.
Just when Liu Xiaocao thought that Shi Jiang going to the fields with Jiang Fugui would be more tiring than doing housework at home, he didn't know that when Shi Jiang arrived at the edge of the field, he immediately fainted.
Fortunately, it was not during the busy farming season. When everyone saw her, they quickly dropped their work and hurriedly carried Shi Jiang to the health center.
Jiang Fugui's face turned dark, but in front of the big guys, he could do nothing.
Even after arriving at the health center, the doctor examined Shi Jiang and said that the child was severely malnourished and frail due to physical strain and needed to make up for his time. Jiang Fugui spread his hands and said directly that he had no money.
Everyone who followed him looked sideways. Wu Tiejun was angry when he saw Jiang Fugui's rogue appearance, and it showed on his face.
Just say with a straight face, the money team will be paid first, and when the time comes to divide the work, it will be deducted directly from the work points.
Seeing the team leader taking out the money and asking the doctor at the health center to give Shi Jiang some salt water first, Jiang Fugui felt his heart bleed.
This money will have to be paid back by my family in the future.
Well, Shijiang people haven't even gone to work in the fields yet, so they haven't earned any work points, so now they have to pay so much out of pocket.
Suddenly, a trace of complaint against Liu Xiaocao flashed in Jiang Fugui's heart. If she hadn't kept nagging and blowing the pillow last night and felt that Shi Jiang couldn't be so comfortable at home doing nothing, he wouldn't have treated Shi Jiang.
Jiang was brought to the ground together.
If Shi Jiang didn't go to the ground, even if she fainted at home, no one would take care of her, let alone spend so much money to send her to a health center.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fugui became irritated.
After Wu Tiejun paid the money, he called everyone back to work in the fields again.
Although it is not busy farming now, you still have to complete the tasks that you should do. If you don't do it, your work points will be deducted.
Jiang Fugui originally wanted to be lazy, but when he heard that his work points would not be deducted, he was still willing to stay.
Wu Tiejun didn't care. Shi Jiang was such a grown-up person, so leaving her alone in the health center was no big deal.
He just left a message for Shi Jiang, asking her to hang up the salt water and go home quickly.
As soon as Jiang Fugui and others left, Shi Jiang woke up.
After touching the money in her pocket, after hanging the salt water, she turned around and headed towards the town.
Shi Jiang's body is indeed malnourished, but this is a problem caused by long-term hunger.
Even if there is such a bottle of salt water, it cannot be replenished.
If you want to be in good health, you must not let yourself go hungry in the future.
Now that Shi Jiang has money, how can he treat himself badly?
The town is not big, just one street, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
Thinking of the candy that Aunt Zhao had stuffed into her hand, the sweet fragrance seemed to be lingering on the tip of her nose.
It's a pity that when Shi Jiang went into the store to ask about the price of candy, he not only asked for money, but also asked for candy coupons.
Shi Jiang was stunned for a moment, and he felt a little regretful when he thought of the iron box containing money notes that he had stuffed back into Jiang Fugui's clothes box.
If she had known earlier, she would have gotten the necessary tickets. She didn't give up and asked several questions. Sure enough, they all required tickets.
Shi Jiang could only turn around and go out. Fortunately, the hotel next door offered free tickets, but the price was much more expensive.
When he heard that he didn't want to vote, Shi Jiang ordered a large bowl of braised pork noodles and five steamed buns.
That steamed bun was as big as two fists of an adult man. After eating these things, Shi Jiang finally burped. There is no more comfortable feeling than eating a full meal.
It's a pity that these things can't be taken back and eaten openly now.
Thinking of the life he had lived in the past, Shi Jiang felt that his fists became hard.
However, at least these days, she could excuse herself from dizziness and go to the health center to get some salt water, and then sneak into town to eat some good food to replenish her body.
When she got home, she didn't know if it was because Jiang Fugui lost his temper at Liu Xiaocao again when he came back.
Although Liu Xiaocao's eyes were red and she was staring at Shi Jiang with hatred in her eyes, she surprisingly did not scold him.
Shi Jiang had already made up his mind to leave this home, so he didn't worry about his hatred for Liu Xiaocao.
However, now that she and Jiang Fugui were still involved in their identities, she couldn't break up with them for a while, so it was better to maintain the superficial stability before leaving.
It would be fine if Liu Xiaocao and the others didn't harm her. If they had that kind of malice, don't blame her for fighting back.
Only three days had passed in such seemingly peaceful days, and as expected, the Liu family came to visit soon.
When Liu's mother arrived at the door of Jiang's house, Jiang was washing the clothes he had worn for several days and hanging them to dry in the yard.
Shi Jiang looked coldly at the woman who came in. Her skin was dark and she was dry. Because of her thinness, the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed and drooped down. Her eyelids were also formed into triangles, giving her a mean look at first glance.
"Xiaocao, how come this damn girl has no manners at all? When she saw me coming in, she didn't call anyone or pour a glass of water to moisten my throat."
Mother Liu didn't know what happened to the Jiang family yet. She was not very familiar with Shi Jiang, but she was not unfamiliar either.
After all, the few times she came to Jiang's house, Jiang was always busy working at home.
In her opinion, her daughter pinched her son-in-law so hard that her daughter was willing to feed her son-in-law, who was a scumbag, which was a sign of her great conscience.
