Exile at the beginning: I rule the world by drawing cards

Chapter 7
The next day, the morning light faded and the sky cleared after the rain.

Qin Mengshang didn't sleep well that night. She always felt like someone was watching her at night.I finally fell asleep, but within two hours I woke up hungry again, so I simply got up to make breakfast.

Working on the river bank only provides one meal, and you have to take care of the rest yourself, but even so, this is a popular job.

This not only saves a meal for the family, but also makes money, and the work is not tiring.Besides, the kitchen is a good place to make money. Many people in the village couldn't even try to stuff their daughters in, but it happened that such a good job fell to Qin Mengshang.

The party had just warmed up the leftover porridge from yesterday when a cry suddenly came from outside the yard:
"Is the Zhou family's wife here? It's time to go to work on the river embankment -"

Qin Mengshang was surprised that it was too early, so he put down his things and walked outside the house.

A woman in a sarong stood outside the low fence, holding a basket in her arms and looking inside.

Seeing someone coming out of the house, the woman stood up straight and said, "Are you the Zhou family's wife? Li Zheng came to my house yesterday and asked me to call you when I went to work on the river embankment this morning. My home is on the field over there, my man’s surname is Zhao, just call me Sister-in-law Zhao.”

Ji looked at her with no malicious eyes.

Qin Mengshang: "Okay, I'll be back as soon as I finish cleaning up. Please sister-in-law, please wait for me for a while."

Seeing that she had a gentle temperament and good manners, Mrs. Ji felt a little patient in her heart and nodded in agreement.

Qin Mengshang walked into the kitchen, drank two mouthfuls of porridge quickly, put on his bamboo hat and prepared to go out.

Zhou Lingqi was in pain all night and didn't fall asleep until dawn. When he saw her hurriedly going out, he asked with half a breath, "Where are you going?"

Qin Meng Shang's words were concise and concise: "Go to work."

"What are you going to do—"

"Breakfast is warming on the stove. Sister-in-law Zhao is still waiting for me. Let's go first."

Before he finished speaking, the person had disappeared.

Zhou Lingqi pressed his shoulders and coughed twice, his face as pale as paper.

When dealing with the two thieves last night, I accidentally pulled my shoulder and it started to bleed a little. I don't know where Qin Mengshang found the herbal medicine, but it was somewhat useful.

Listening to the conversation between the two people, they were probably from the village. He injured one of them with the rusty arrow left by the hunter. He should not come to him again in a short time, but it is always a disaster if he keeps it.

Qin Mengshang didn't know the specific reason, but he just thought it was a thief last night.

When passing by the village, a group of people were chattering around. The people inside were crying and cursing, making the whole village uneasy.

Qin Mengshang asked curiously: "What happened?"

Talking about gossip, Ji opened the conversation unconsciously: "I heard that Chen Ergou came back last night with his face covered in blood and one of his eyes blinded. I don't know who he messed with outside to end up like this. field……"

Qin Mengshang remembered that the thief who came to the door last night just covered his eyes and ran away. When he woke up in the morning, the pool of blood at the door was still not dry.

She couldn't help but look over there twice.

Mrs. Zhu sat on the ground and cried loudly: "Why are our lives so miserable! Chen Yingcai, you bastard, you lost all your family's money, and in the end you even lost your life to the gambling house! It would be better if you died. Clean, now my son has been implicated by you and has been poked blind!"

Ji whispered to Qin Mengshang: "Back then, Ergou Daddy owed a lot of debt outside. He was forced into desperation by the people in the gambling house. He took the family's money and tried to escape. As a result, he accidentally slipped down the river embankment and fell. He drowned in the river! The money he had with him was washed away by the water. In the end, even the money to buy the coffin was raised by the village."

"Is there such a thing?"

Qin Mengshang pretended to be surprised, but he thought of something in his heart.

Over there, Mrs. Zhu finished scolding the father, and then started scolding the people in the gambling house: "Those vicious thugs! It's not enough to force me to death, but I have to force my son to death! Is there any law left?"

People around sighed.

"Chen Yingcai is really not a thing! Not only has he ruined his family fortune, but he has also dragged down his family members!" "It's pitiful that Sister-in-law Zhu has such a man. Ergou is such a good child. He was harmed by his father all his life."

In addition to those who pity the mother and son, there are also those who make sarcastic remarks: "Chen Ergou didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Why did he run outside? I'm afraid he did something wrong and got retribution——"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhu immediately jumped up: "Lei Dapao, what are you talking about! My second dog is honest and capable, unlike his short-lived father! I think you have eaten a mouth full of shit, and you left it here so early in the morning. Spray shit!"

Lei Dapao was pointed at the nose and scolded by a woman, and his temper got worse: "What are you talking about, you bitch!"

Seeing that something was wrong, several people quickly stepped forward to persuade them, fearing that the two of them would start to fight.

"Ergou, if you can move, come out and persuade your mother!"

Chen Ergou couldn't steal the chicken but lost the rice. After he came back, he kept huddled in the house. Hearing the noise outside, he felt irritable.

His mother had a loud voice, and by making such a fuss, the whole village probably knew that he was blind.If people knew that he was blinded because he was thinking about his wife, they might laugh at him.

"Mom, stop making trouble"

When Mrs. Zhu saw her son, she patted her legs and sat down on the ground, crying so hard that her heart broke: "Your father cruelly left us orphans and widowed mothers, and we were bullied for nothing! How will you live the rest of your life -"

Qin Mengshang saw Chen Ergou covering his left eye and confirmed his suspicion.

Wherever the creditors came to visit, it was clear that Chen Ergou had a guilty conscience and used the gambling house as an excuse.

Mrs. Ji was also frightened: "It looks scary. Do you have to go to the town and ask a doctor to take a look? That won't be cheap."

Upon hearing that a doctor was about to be called, Chen San's daughter-in-law next to her immediately said: "Last time Ergou's father was buried, my family contributed money and effort. The one tael of silver we owed has not been repaid yet. This time Ergou is seeing a doctor. My family Won’t come out.”

Someone joked: "Sister-in-law Chen San, we all pooled together the money to buy the coffin for Father Ergou. Uncle Li Zheng paid for your share, so Chen Laosan came to help during the burial."

After being exposed in public, Mrs. Fang blushed and said harshly: "My man wasted up half a day's work to help out and made twenty cash less. That's not money!"

"We are all from the same village, so we are quite clear about helping each other. Who in the village will dare her man to help her in the future?"

Others looked at him with disdain.

Mrs. Chen lowered her face and pinched her daughter-in-law's arm: "No one will think you are mute if you don't speak! Go back and wash the clothes."

Fang felt aggrieved and was afraid of offending her mother-in-law, so she ran away in despair.

Mr. Ji spat at her back: "Er Gou calls Li Zheng uncle anyway, why is she so unbecoming? She has ruined Li Zheng's reputation in vain!"

Qin Mengshang's attention was all on Zhu's mother and son, and he didn't listen carefully.

They just arrived in Sanjiang Village yesterday. Their family is very poor. What can they steal?

Chen Ergou was afraid that if Zhou Lingqi heard about something else, he would lose one of his eyes.

She didn't want to continue reading: "Sister-in-law Zhao, it's getting late, we have to go to the river embankment to work."

Ji slapped her thigh: "I just watched the fun and almost forgot about the real thing! Let's go, let's go."

After the two left, the pair of spiteful eyes hidden behind the tree withdrew their sight, bent their backs, and slowly walked over there.
