Poor family mother and son

Chapter 11 Eat your rice?
After breakfast, Chu Qing put on the basket again, and Xiaobao was sitting in the basket.Grab the hatchet and prepare to go out.

I met Mr. Xie's old wife carrying vegetables and meat into the hospital.

"Morning, aunt!" Chu Qing greeted.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" Aunt Xie looked at Chu Qing's "equipment".

"There isn't much firewood in the kitchen, I'll go up the mountain and cut some."

"How can you go chopping firewood with a child! Then drop the child! Just go and tell the village chief, and he will send someone to bring it."

"Hey, thank you, auntie." Chu Qing put the hatchet back, "Then I'll go to the village chief's house."

"Go, go, take care of the child."

Chu Qing met Village Chief Wu and Wu Dalang at the village chief's house, and said that he needed firewood.

Wu Dalang said directly that if he needs firewood in the future, he can send someone to tell him, and he will deliver it himself.

Thinking of the task she took last night, Chu Qing felt that it was better this way.I also asked the village head where I could buy some daily necessities, and learned that the village is a bit far from the county seat, and it would take a long time to walk back and forth on two legs.

But the headman of Li Village has a grocery store, where he can buy ready-made needles, threads and brains.It is said that the son-in-law of village chief Li has a grocery store in the county, and the goods that are usually unsalable are sold at a discount in the village.This can not only save capital, but also facilitate the villagers.

After inquiring clearly about the location, Chu Qing was ready to take a look.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a fat woman standing there. Seeing Chu Qing approaching, she refused to let her go. She blocked the gate of the village head's house and looked at Chu Qing unscrupulously up and down. Her eyes were more like a scanner than a scanner.

Just as Chu Qing was about to ask her to make way, she heard the other party say, "Is this a blatant way of blocking someone's door to hook up?"

Chu Qing didn't react, but the other party didn't like Chu Qing, so she planned to squeeze past her.

This is always the case between people. Some people feel friendly at first glance and want to get closer;The woman in front of me belongs to the latter.

Unexpectedly, the woman grabbed Chu Qing's arm: "What about you, where are you going?"

Aiya, I go!Another social cow?Didn't the ancients have a low status for women, so they could be so arrogant?
"Flash away!" Chu Qing said, shaking off the woman's hand.

"Yo ha ha, look, look, are you guilty? How about you run away from someone's door and try to hook up with him, don't you want to show your face?" It was as if he had really caught a rape, and his pride was beyond words.

Chu Qing took a step back, imitating the way the woman did just now, and scanned her from head to toe.

The woman put her hands on her waist and took a step forward, her fat body just blocked the door tightly, and said arrogantly: "What are you looking at!"

Chu Qing pursed her lips, abruptly holding back the classic line "What are you doing", afraid to speak, afraid of laughing.Then he said again: "Flash away!"

This time it was louder.He heard footsteps behind him.Behind the fat woman, there are villagers approaching curiously.

"What about you, blocking people's doors early in the morning and beating them repeatedly?" The fat woman was confident.

"Who is it?" Chu Qing asked in surprise.

"You!"

"What's up?"

"Blocking doors early in the morning to hook up with people!"

"Who is it?"

"you!"

"What's up?"

"You blocked the door to hook up with someone!"

"Who is it?"

"Say you blocked the door..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of shouting: "San Pang's family! What are you doing blocking the door of my house?!"

The village chief's loud voice exploded suddenly, causing the fat woman who hadn't had time to stop to babble out the rest of her words, "... hooking up with someone".

"Hahahahaha..." A burst of laughter sounded from behind the woman.

The surrounding villagers were overjoyed.There are also those who are choked and coughed by their own laughter.

The fat woman blushed instantly, and her neck was thick, and she became angry from embarrassment:

"What are you laughing at? Didn't you see this widow and girl blocking the door of someone's house early in the morning, just to hook up with Wu Dalang?"

Ouch, this is all by name.

Chu Qing remained silent, looking at her leisurely.

"San Pang's family, is your mouth made of farting?" Village Chief Wu was furious. Isn't this pouring dirty water on his house!Saposa came here, I owe it to you, this is it!
"Then, did I say something wrong? She and a widow came to block the door early in the morning..." Seeing that the village chief was really angry, the fat woman felt a little nervous, but she didn't want to lose face, so she continued to grieve. .

"Who is blocking the door now?" the village chief asked.

"I'm not... no, I mean she's a widow..." The fat woman wanted to defend herself.

"The three fat guys are back?" the village head asked.

"No." The fat woman was puzzled.

"Then she is a widow, what are you?" The village head pointed to the fat woman clearly.

"I, my man is not dead!" The fat woman said confidently.

"Then her man is dead? You killed him? Is there any difference between you and her now?" the village chief asked three times.

"..." The fat woman was speechless.

Chu Qing likes this, if she can eat melons, she won't blah.Too much trouble.

"Doesn't that mean that her man has met a bandit, so he still has to live?" The fat woman still refused to accept it.

"Your man sees the sky and meets the enemy, do you have a life?" The village chief sprayed back!
"Every day, if you don't cause trouble, you can't eat!" Is the village chief defining the fat woman?
Although Chu Qing was very happy when this fat woman was sprayed and laughed at, and she was not annoyed by her scolding, but Chu Qing wondered why this woman was picking on her?I have never seen her, let alone offended her.

At this time, a woman's voice came from the crowd: "What San Pang's family said is not wrong, even if you didn't see her hooking up with someone, but it's not a good thing to cause trouble just after arriving in our village. "

Yo, it seems that Chu Qing has been cleared up.

"Tell me, what did I do wrong?" Chu Qing started the interview.

"You..." The woman who spoke just now had a thin and long face, and her appearance was quite upright, except that her cheekbones were a little high and flared out.Seeing Chu Qing staring at her sharply in the crowd, he felt a little guilty.

"When you first came to the village, you took care of things. You are right. You are a cook, and you don't let your children eat. It's not your children who are hungry, you don't feel sorry for them, do you?"

"Which meal did they not receive?" Chu Qing asked knowingly.

"They, no, I mean, they told you to kick them out after all their children entered the kitchen, and they told you to wait after they were kicked out, why didn't they listen to you and didn't give them food? We all paid money and food. of!"

This remark aroused the echo of several onlookers.

People think that when the children grow up, they can't bear the hunger, so they shouldn't be kicked out.Now that the children are here, let the children eat immediately.

Chu Qing recalled the situation that day.The person who was directly kicked out that day was a chubby eight or nine-year-old boy, the son of the village head Zhang.

"You are the son of Village Chief Zhang...?" Chu Qing asked.

"I'm his aunt, and he's my nephew, what's wrong?" Mentioning the head of Zhang Village, the long face and high cheekbones felt confident.

Village head Zhang is the elder brother of that three fat family, and this high cheekbones is just the cousin of village head Zhang.But the cousin is also an aunt, she is talking to San Pang's family.

"It's not good. The village chiefs of the three villages didn't have any objections to what happened that day. Do you have any objections?" Humph, Chu Qing began to feel troublesome again.

"Did I, our baby eat your rice? You meddle in your own business! My baby didn't even get enough to eat." Gao Cheekbone said.

"That's it!" The fat woman regained her spirits, "Usually our children can eat enough, but you won't be able to eat enough when you come here. Tell me, do you put all the money and food in your own pocket?"

This is not to be taken for granted.Chu Qing was a little irritable, she was not good at quarreling, especially with this kind of people who made a living out of quarrels.

"Each person has 6 catties of rice per month, and the average meal is three and a half rice. How big is a bowl of three and two halves? How much rice does your family eat in one meal? Usually your children can eat enough. After I come, they If they can’t get enough to eat, how much do they usually eat? Whose children have taken advantage of the rice that exceeds 3 taels? No interruptions allowed.

"I don't openly settle the accounts with you so that the villagers don't resent each other, but if you use this matter to pour dirty water on me, then you have to settle the accounts with me. Tell me, how much do your children usually eat? ? The rules set by the three village chiefs and Mr. Xie unanimously, if you have any opinions, why don’t you speak to the village chief?”

The crowd fell silent, and soon someone whispered again: "My baby usually only gets half a bowl of rice, and it would be nice to have 2 vegetable leaves." Let’s eat.” “My family too…”

Chu Qing curled her lips, she really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing!
"Are you in a hurry? Are you done with the field work?" The village chief yelled at this time.The crowd dispersed in a rush, and the fat woman and the high cheekbones left angrily. Before leaving, they threatened: "You wait for me!"

"Speak up, what are you talking about?" Chu Qing raised the volume.

The two women walked away quickly.
