Chapter 83

"Who is it? Who stole our cart and my fairy water?"

Old Jiangtou yelled and looked around with his eyes, trying to find the thief who stole from him and recover the fairy water from his house.

He searched around the place where people from Xinglin Village gathered two or three times without success, and then went to the place where people from other villages gathered tens of meters away.

No, no, still no.

Old Jiang's head went crazy. With red eyes, he grabbed Fang's Villager by the collar and asked, "Is that you? Did you Fangjia Villagers steal my cart and my fairy water?"

The Fang family villager stared wide-eyed: "You lunatic, let me go quickly! Which eye of yours saw me stealing from your house? Talk nonsense again, be careful that I'm not polite to you!"

Someone advised Fang's villager Zheng, "Don't be as knowledgeable as him. Didn't you hear him shouting? He lost the fairy water that can save his life, so he was in such a hurry."

Fang's village is breaking away Jiangtou's hand and pushing him aside.

"No matter how anxious you are, you can't wrong people indiscriminately! I don't owe him anything."

Old Jiangtou was pushed away by Fang's villager, and grabbed another villager who had an old grudge with him.

"Is it you? Did you steal something from my house?"

The outsider laughed gloatingly.

"I didn't steal it, but I know who stole it. I saw it. It was stolen by your eldest son."

Old Jiang couldn't believe it, and scolded the outsider, "Fuck your mother! Why did my eldest son steal things from our own house?"

"Why did he steal, you ask him! Oh, you can't ask, he has already run away."

The outsider slapped Old Jiangtou's hands off his collar, and said, "Believe it or not! Anyway, I just saw it.

In the middle of the night, your eldest son pushed the cart, and your eldest grandson and granddaughter followed behind him with a load on their backs.

After your eldest daughter-in-law piled up all the odds and ends of your house on the cart, she even touched your mother-in-law's arms, took a bag of something and left.

As for what that thing was, it was too far away, so I didn't see it clearly. "

Mrs. Jiang, who had just rushed over to look for Lao Jiangtou, immediately touched the part where she hid the broken silver.

"It's gone, my silver is gone! Xin Lamei who killed a thousand swords! She really stole my silver..."

Old Jiangtou and Mrs. Jiang continued to quarrel for half an hour before finally accepting the reality.

Their eldest son's family really took away all their belongings, and ran away with the fairy water they bought with 200 taels of silver notes!
Old lady Jiang was tired of cursing, she sat on the side, leaning against Jiang Dongliang's back in a daze.

Old Jiang drooped his shoulders, and suddenly seemed to be ten years older.The feeling of being betrayed by his own son is too uncomfortable.

Jiang Dongliang touched his "cuckling" stomach, and looked at Jiang Erya's stove frequently.

He turned back to Mrs. Jiang and said, "Mother, the sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing. Please sit down first, I'll go to Erya's house to ask for a meal."

After a while, Jiang Dongliang left and returned.

Seeing that Jiang Dongliang was holding a large bowl of porridge with wild vegetables and a bag of grain on his shoulder, old lady Jiang felt better.

She said to Old Jiangtou: "Even if he Jiang Erniu has a conscience, he also knows to send a bag of grain to the three of us. At least we didn't raise him in vain.

It's just that food alone is not enough, our pots and pans have been stolen by that damned Xin Lamei, without these cooking guys, we can't cook at all. "

Old Jiang raised his head and said, "You go to Erya, she has two pots, one for cooking and one for soup and stew, you ask her to spare one for us to use.

In addition to the pot, there is also oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and they all asked her for some.

If she doesn't give it, you can ask Er Niu for it.

As long as Erniu is willing to give it, Erya will not be able to resist Erniu, who is a father. "

Mrs. Jiang responded and was about to go to where Jiang Erya was, but Jiang Dongliang hurriedly stopped her.

He squeaked and said, "The porridge and food in my hand were not given to us by Erniu brother. I took the land lease of our half-acre paddy field and exchanged it with Erya.

Erya said that she still has a bag of grain and a brand new set of cooking utensils. If she wants, she can exchange it with another acre of paddy fields.

One mu is a bit too much, so I didn't dare to accept it privately..."

When Old Jiang heard it, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"This black-hearted Jiang Erya!
Such a bag of grain is usually worth at most two hundred coins. Even if it is a special situation now, and the price of grain has increased several times, it is only worth about one tael of silver.

How dare she accept half an acre of paddy fields from you! "

Mrs. Jiang punched Jiang Dongliang. This was the first time in her life that she punched Jiang Dongliang. In the past, only Jiang Dashan and Jiang Erniu could enjoy this "benefit".

She cursed loudly: "You stupid, heartless bastard!

Even if you want to exchange the paddy fields at home for food, you can't suffer such a big loss!

Go, go, take that bag of grain back quickly, I want to find Jiang Erya, a black-hearted ghost, to exchange the paddy fields.

I would rather starve to death than eat her food..."

Jiang Erya said, "Very good, you have a backbone, I'll exchange the things for you right away."

She carried the food back to her cart, and handed over the land deed for the half-acre paddy field to Mrs. Jiang, telling Mrs. Jiang, "Don't come to me again next time, did you hear me?"

Mrs. Jiang snorted, "Who would look for you, a black-hearted ghost? Whoever looks for you is a big bastard, a big fool!"

Mrs. Jiang was full of words, thinking that she would never come back to find Jiang Erya one day.

She thinks well.

She can use the land lease of the half-acre paddy field as collateral to borrow grain from other families in Xinglin Village.

Or, the three of them could go hunting and dig wild vegetables.

No matter how bad it is, just eat grass roots and bark.

There are so many ways, as long as people are diligent, they will never starve to death.

But when she took the land deed to mortgage to borrow grain, she found that, except for Jiang Erya and Li Zheng's family, no one had any surplus grain.

Li Zheng's family was willing to take the land deed from her and give her a bag of grain, but Lao Jiangtou suddenly became stubborn.

He is unwilling to accept disguised aid from his old opponent.

Old Jiangtou had originally planned to sell the fairy water and become the richest man in Xinglin Village, so he could stay away from Li Zheng.

But Jiang Dashan directly swept away the dozens of bags of fairy water, which made his dream of becoming the richest man in Xinglin Village shattered.

He looked at Lizheng now, even if Lizheng had no expression on his face, he felt that Lizheng was laughing at him.

His self-esteem does not allow him to accept Li Zheng's sympathy and help, and he really can't swallow the food of Li Zheng's family.

Mrs. Jiang couldn't resist Old Jiang's head, so she had to take Jiang Dongliang to dig wild vegetables and grass roots while others were resting.

The mother and son wandered around for a long time, but found nothing.

Old Jiangtou watched them return empty-handed, and asked, "What? You didn't dig?"

Mrs. Jiang said with a bitter face, "The severe drought has only passed for a few days, wild vegetables have not had time to grow back, and the grass roots and bark have been eaten up by the victims who passed by before..."
