Chapter 5 Dealing with Ma Xiaobao

"Yeah, a kind person just bought half of it, maybe because he thought I couldn't sell it. But the rest can't be sold, so I can only go home and cook it myself." She also said it. White lie.

"It seems like there is a kind-hearted person. We also have people selling wild vegetables here. It took a long time to sell them for a penny, and they still worked hard to carry them."

"Aunt Zhang, do you know where there is a food store in this town? I want to buy some beans and eat them for a few more days." She quickly changed the subject.

"It's not cost-effective to buy this grain in the town. You might as well go to the village to buy it. Many people want to sell it. Didn't they just harvest the grain?"

"But I don't have much money. I only have five cents from the wild vegetables I just sold." She decided to buy some secretly next time. This was not the time to show off her wealth. She couldn't tell others the real amount of money she made.

"You can buy it for five cents. Why don't you buy it at my house? I'll give you two cents per pound of soybeans, and I'll give you some rice bran to go with it. It'll taste better too."

Rice bran, Xichun thought that she seemed to have eaten this way in the Ma family before, but for a modern person like her, eating rice bran was a bit throaty, and it was usually eaten by cows.

But you can't refuse other people's wishes, so she agreed.

"When I dig some wild vegetables next time, I also want to buy some seeds and open a piece of land in my yard so that I can eat Chinese cabbage in the future."

"Why don't you buy this? I have the seeds I saved at home, as well as cucumber seeds, loofah seeds, and eggplants. I will give you some when I get home.

Xichun, you kid is really a person who knows how to live a good life. It’s good to think of this. Anyway, the crops have been harvested now. When the time comes, I will dig with you. Your little kid doesn’t understand. "

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang." Xichun didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic, and he felt a little better about the village.

"Hey, you are a miserable child, you have to be economical in everything. Your mother can't handle it, and your grandmother's family is like that. You are really a miserable child soaked in bitter water. If there is anything we can do in the future, If you want help, come to me."

Aunt Zhang saw that she was so sensible and really liked her.

Xichun felt a lot of resentment when she heard her mention her grandmother's house.

His father is the second son in the family, with an older brother and younger brothers and sisters, so he has been ignored since he was a child.

Because she only gave birth to a girl, Xi Chun, Xi Chun's grandma never liked the Wang family. She was also the one who did the most work in the family, and she suffered a lot after she got married.

When Xichun's father was alive, the only time he rebelled against his mother was because of the family separation. For this reason, their family received the least things among the brothers.

Unexpectedly, just when they thought their life was getting better, Xichun's father got sick. Xichun and her mother went to ask their grandma to borrow money for treatment, but they turned away.

In desperation, they had no choice but to sell out the land, but unfortunately they still couldn't cure it.

In order to prevent the two of them from raising money, Xichun's father hanged himself. Before leaving, he also asked Xichun's mother to find a good family to marry after his death so that Xichun could grow up in peace.

"Xichun, what Auntie said is a bit harsh. Don't be sad. Life is lived by people. At the beginning, Uncle Zhang and I didn't work hand in hand. I see your hard work, and we will definitely do it in the future. You can live your life well.”

Just when Xichun was thinking about something, Aunt Zhang brought her back to her senses.

"Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I believe in myself too." The two looked at each other and smiled.

When she arrived at Aunt Zhang's house, Xichun took out five cents. Aunt Zhang not only gave her three kilograms of beans, but also some rice bran and various seeds.

"Xichun, I will open land with you another day." Aunt Zhang said this when sending her out.Seeing Xichun walking back home, Uncle Zhang stared at Aunt Zhang curiously.

"I see you haven't been this way towards Xi Chun before. Why did you become so positive after just one trip to town?"

"You guys, what do you know? In the past, her mother was protecting her, and we outsiders are not suitable to take care of it. Now that she has set up her own business, we will be neighbors in the future, so we naturally have to take care of her."

"Let me tell you, this girl is indeed a good one. I think these days, she goes out early and works so hard every day. If she didn't have a mother who can't handle things, she wouldn't be like this."

"I can help you a little bit, but it's just a matter of a bowl or two of beans."

Xichun didn't know about their conversation. In the past few days, she had been leaving early and coming back late. She became more active after knowing that medicinal materials could indeed be exchanged for money.

She was everywhere in the mountains and in the fields. Everyone thought she was digging wild vegetables to eat, so they stopped paying attention.

During this period, she went to the town again, and took the dandelions, purple field flowers, horse chestnuts, etc. she dug to the town to sell, and bought some food by the way. This is how people live.

That day, she was digging dandelions in the ground, and a little fat man saw her in the distance.

"Hmph, Chen Xichun, you dare to hit my grandma, let's see how I teach you today." This person is Ma Dawei's son Ma Xiaobao.

He casually picked up a clod of soil in the field and was about to hit Chen Xichun on the head. Fortunately, Chen Xichun moved and the clod brushed against her body.

"Ma Xiaobao, why are you hitting me with rubbish?" Chen Xichun turned around and saw that it was Ma Xiaobao, and he was still smiling at him.

"Who told you, little bitch, to beat my grandma? You deserve it!"

"Wait for me." Chen Xichun casually lifted a wormwood stick from the field ridge, put down the basket and ran towards him.

She had developed a good speed over the years of hard work, and she quickly caught up with the fat little Ma Xiaobao.

Use a mugwort stick to hit his calves. Although this long and thin stick looks soft, it is very painful when slapped on his legs.

"Oh, oh, if you dare to hit me again, I will tell my grandma." Ma Xiaobao burst into tears when he saw that she was running so fast and he was no match.

"You are a boy after all, and you are so unmanly to sue your grandma at every turn. You provoked me first today, and I was just fighting back. If you still dare to bully me, see if I will continue to beat you."

Chen Xichun said, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

"No more, no more, I won't tell my grandma anymore, don't hit me."

"What happened before, did you tell your grandma that I saw you squirting?" She didn't even ask about what happened before, but he came to her door.

"No, it wasn't me, it was Ma Daming. They were talking outside and my grandma heard them."

"Then tell them that if they talk nonsense again, I will deal with them one by one. Didn't you see me beating your grandma that day? That's it."

"Ouch, ouch, don't fight, don't fight, I was wrong." He saw Chen Xichun stop and ran away.
