Chapter 149 No Silver Received
Wu Hong pretended not to hear what she said. Anyway, this wasn't the first time Wen Zhuzi had leg pain. It wouldn't kill him from the pain, and it would be better if he died from the pain!
The aroma of braised potatoes wafted from the kitchen. She took several deep breaths, about to ask where Wen Youcai had come from, when she suddenly burst out shouting:
"Smells good! Smells good! Smells good! Milk! I want some!"
He yelled and followed the aroma wafting out to the kitchen, lifted the pot lid covered with a thick layer of ash, threw it on the ground, and reached inside.
Old Zhou was terrified, but her movements were nowhere near as fast as Wen Youcai's. He scooped up a potato as if it were hot and put it in his mouth.
"Ah! My grandson!" Old Zhou screamed, hurriedly trying to check on Wen Youcai's condition.
Wen Youcai's mouth was covered in blisters from the scalding hot potatoes, and the hand he had just put into the pot was now as red as if it had been cooked.
"Waaaaah, milk! It hurts so much!"
Wen Youcai stuck out his tongue in a wronged manner, and Wu Hong jumped up after seeing it.
Good heavens! How did I get so many blisters?! That's terrifying! What an idiot to put his hand directly into a hot pot!
Old Mrs. Zhou pulled Wen Youcai aside with heartache and comforted him. At this point, she didn't care about potatoes anymore; all she knew was that her eldest grandson was injured.
"Don't cry, don't cry, Grandma will blow on it and it'll be fine."
She pouted and blew air at him, but Wen Youcai pushed her away and became even more agitated, shouting, "Stinky! Stinky! It stinks so bad, I don't like it!"
Old Mrs. Zhou was extremely embarrassed and had no choice but to give up. Seeing that his mouth was full of blisters, she simply pulled him up and walked out of the yard. "My dear Cai'er! Grandma will take you to see Doctor Hu to have him take a look!"
Wen Youcai followed her, and now that his mouth and hands were killing him, he no longer cared about eating.
Wu Hong was overjoyed when she saw the two of them leave. She patted her stomach, which was barely half full, and ran into the kitchen.
The potatoes in the pot cooled down a bit in the short time it took.
She snorted coldly. Wen Youcai was such a big idiot, she wasn't as stupid as him! She took a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, resisting the urge to drool, and filled the large bowl to the brim.
After finishing that bowl, there were practically no potatoes left in the pot. She didn't care about anything else; as long as she filled her stomach, that was enough.
Old Zhou couldn't find Doctor Hu, so she had to coax Wen Youcai home again, thinking that he could just chew some mint leaves on his own later.
Back in the kitchen, she nearly fainted from anger when she saw the empty pot.
"Who! Who ate all my potatoes?!"
She stood with her hands on her hips at the threshold of the main room, only to be met with the deafening snores of her two sons.
Wen Youcai started yelling in the yard again. It turned out he had wet his pants and was now rolling on the ground, covered in dirt and urine.
In that instant, she felt she didn't even have the strength to hang herself, but she still ran out of the house to comfort Wen Youcai.
Wen Pandi watched coldly from the pile of firewood, and couldn't help but laugh when she saw their expressions.
They initially looked down on potatoes, and didn't even ask for a single seed, so naturally they couldn't grow them.
No one knows whose land Old Zhou stole from, but she didn't get to eat any of it herself, while Wu Hong ate it all up, leaving not a single crumb.
She touched her round belly with a happy expression. She didn't go to her second uncle's place, so Da Ya brought her the food directly. There was still plenty left, so she wouldn't have to worry about not having enough for dinner.
A light gradually rose in Pandi's eyes. She would run away after selling the handkerchiefs she had collected in two days!
She didn't want to be with these vampires! She was sure she could survive on her own. Once she got out, Wu Hong would never slap her for no reason again, and Old Zhou would never call her a money-losing jinx again!
While everyone was still eating in Wenluozhi's area, the village chief looked at the tables laden with good food and wine, raised a bowl full of wine, and shouted, "Everyone, you'd better put in your best effort now! This meat is really generous!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers raised their glasses in a toast, ate their meal, rested briefly, and then continued working.
As dusk fell, Qian Zhaodi groped her way back to the village and saw them still working. She couldn't help but spit out her drink.
Bah! A bunch of short-sighted fools! All rushing around like that! They didn't even offer you any money!
When the topic of money came up, her face was filled with distress. She had indeed gone to Yang Xiu's house, but no matter how much she begged, she hadn't gotten any money!
That family was incredibly vicious; she was almost surrounded and beaten by them!
Having no other choice, she went back to her parents' home. Upon hearing that her son had become mentally unstable, she was first mocked mercilessly and then kicked her out of the house.
She hadn't eaten for several meals and felt like she had lost dozens of pounds on this trip.
How can this be allowed to continue?! Meat was her blessing! Now she has lost her blessing.
All of this was caused by the Wen family! If they had said a few words in the shop, her son wouldn't have been locked up in jail!
Of course, he wouldn't turn into a stupid, silly, or crazy person, and his family wouldn't need to sell several plots of land to raise money to get him out!
And that little bitch Yang Xiu, she actually ran away like that! If she catches her, I'll beat her to death!
These people deserve to die! She cursed them to go to the deepest hell after they died!
She cursed as she walked toward the old house, and when she reached the gate of the courtyard, she ran into Old Zhou collecting clothes.
"Dazhuang's wife, come here quickly, this old woman wants to say a few words to you."
She put down the basket in her hand and waved to her with a pleasant expression. The first thing she said was not to ask Qian Zhaodi if she had brought the silver back.
Qian Zhaodi was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. She had thought she would be scolded as soon as she got home! She never expected her mother-in-law to be so kind and gentle.
She walked over happily and said, "What do you want to tell me, Mom?"
Old Mrs. Zhou was still smiling, but her hand had already reached for the washboard in the basket. Taking advantage of Qian Zhaodi's proximity, she suddenly smashed it against her.
"I'll teach you to be lazy, you good-for-nothing!"
"That'll teach you to be lazy!"
"That'll teach you to be lazy!"
The washboard pounded on Qian Zhaodi, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chased each other around the yard.
"Why did you hit me, Mom! I just got back! What happened to me?!"
Qian Zhaodi was confused and kept asking questions as she ran.
Old Mrs. Zhou was also tired of chasing and only managed to hit him a few times without success. She simply stopped and put her hands on her hips.
"I told you to go weed the fields! How could you do any work, you lazy bum?!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhaodi broke out in a cold sweat. What did he do? Of course, he found a shady spot to hide and slack off until it was time to eat!
You praised me for being capable back then! But she didn't dare say that.
"Mom, just do what you're supposed to do. I haven't been slacking off! I've gone every single time!"
She just goes every time, she doesn't care! She said stubbornly.
Old Zhou was so angry she laughed and cursed, "The weeds in that field are taller than the grass on your grave that's been dead for two years! What are you doing weeding for me?! Don't spew nonsense at me!"
