Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 235: Trying every means to make a living (5) [-in-]

At the entrance of the village, under the century-old banyan tree.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, a group of unemployed old men and women sat nearby and started chatting, chatting about their parents' problems and complaining about their daughters-in-law or sisters-in-law.

Children who are not in school are playing nearby.

It's quite safe for the big one to take the small one.

At this moment, an old lady wearing a gray coat and homemade mille-layer cloth shoes ran over with a surprised look on her face, panting heavily, and then started sharing in a hurry without even waiting for herself to recover. Gossip:
"Listen to me, I just went to visit Liu Weiguo's country. The person who came back with the rich old lady at noon was Liu Weiguo's mother and Dafei's wife.

Two people are sitting at the door eating chicken!
Oh no, it was Da Fei's wife who was eating. The old lady didn't eat. She was watching from the side and drank some chicken soup. "

Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, there have been people there since they finished their farm work in the morning. Only during lunch and evening, there will be fewer people, and they will all go home after dark.

This road is the only exit to the town.

Of course, this refers to the normal situation. If you have to take a detour and go over the graveyard or other roads that are not roads, you can go to the town, but unless you want to do something shameful, there is no need to take such a detour.

Bai Sheng went out through this road in the morning.

I also came back from this road at noon, including Huang Juan who went out to buy chickens and brought chickens along this road.

When Bai Sheng went out in the morning, no one noticed him because he went early and was in a hurry. But when he came back at noon, it happened to be half an hour before dinner, and there were many people under the big banyan tree.

In addition, although Huang Juan's family is not as good as some rich people, it is still quite good in the local area. There are few households with ten thousand yuan these days. Her family has only twenty thousand yuan in savings. It is conceivable that the conditions are not bad, so she His clothes are obviously different from others, and you can tell at a glance that they are quite expensive.

Not to mention she was still a strange outsider.

So of course it's eye-catching.

As for Bai Sheng, the villagers didn't recognize her at all at first. They only thought the clothes she was wearing were familiar, until someone saw them entering Liu Wei's country.

After some discussion, I realized that the person who was not well-dressed, but had a good temperament, looked healthy, and seemed a bit familiar, was probably Liu Weiguo's mother.

Liu Dafei's wife.

However, some people objected, and the reason for the objection was quite simple. Although they had not seen Liu Dafei's wife for half a month, they had never seen her before. At that time, Dafei's wife was obviously sallow, and she looked younger than other people of the same age in the village. He is already older, and he is completely different from the one he just met. The gap is too big.

At that time, the villagers had a little discussion.

Didn’t delve too deeply into it.

Until Huang Juan left and came back with two old hens, some people said that the smell of stewed chicken came from Liu Wei's country, and they didn't know why his family ate chicken.

This further aroused the curiosity of the villagers.

Immediately afterwards, someone encouraged people to sneak over and have a look to see if the person they saw earlier was Da Fei's wife and what her family was doing!
What is the relationship between the rich old lady and her family?
No, the one who went to inquire about the news came back with a report.

"The relationship is really great!"

"It shouldn't be. I met Aunt Bai half a month ago. She was completely different at that time than she is now. She just seemed like a different person. Even if she was eating chicken at home every day for half a month, she still didn't look like this. Come on."

"What kind of elixir can't you take?"

"What's even more strange is who is the old lady who came back with her today? What is her relationship with her? Why did she bring her old hens to eat? We basically all know Da Fei's wife's relatives, but there is no such person."

"Back then, when I was in confinement after giving birth, the most generous relatives at home only gave me half a catty of brown sugar."

"When was that time? You were in confinement more than ten or twenty years ago. At that time, everyone was poor. Half a pound of brown sugar was good. I didn't even eat egg custard when I was in confinement. , drink porridge every day.”

"Ouch, I didn't tell you everything just now.

Two chickens. The two chickens that the old lady brought over were stewed. The two full pots were placed in front of Da Fei's wife. She ate alone. The old lady sat next to him with a small bowl and drank some chicken soup. , so strange, I have never seen such luxury, nor have I seen such hospitality. "

Niu Dahua, who came to report the news, kept emphasizing in surprise while comparing the two chickens.

Although our lives have become much better in recent years, eating meat is still not an easy task. If we buy half a catty of meat on a Monday, we are already living a good life. Unless we have chicken at home, we are already living a good life. Women who are giving birth, or someone who is seriously ill, or they will only be killed during the holidays, otherwise they will only eat some eggs.

Kill two chickens at once and still eat them alone.

And it's a bad old woman eating it.

This seems to everyone to be an extremely abnormal and unreasonable thing. Among the old men and women here, which family kills chickens and doesn’t eat them first for their sons and grandsons, and then eat some scraps for themselves, such as chicken livers? , chicken heads, chicken butts, chicken intestines, whatever.

In addition, the guests came to visit with heavy gifts, but ended up killing the chickens and eating them themselves, and only gave them soup. This was also extremely abnormal in their view.

All in all, the whole thing is pretty weird.

At least it seemed quite strange to the villagers.

"You killed both chickens and stewed them?"

"Oh my god, Da Fei's wife is crazy. She can't survive. She still eats by herself. Those two chickens weigh ten kilograms in total. She's not afraid of dying!"

"I've never seen such a selfish person. She stewed two chickens and didn't share any portion with her daughter-in-law. She just didn't share it with her daughter-in-law. She didn't even share it with her grandchildren. Oh, when she gets old, how will her daughter-in-law and grandchildren be filial to her? Unfilial."

"No, I remember Da Fei's wife was not this kind of person before. Could it be that she is possessed by a ghost?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's scary..."

"The strangest thing is, who is the old lady who sent the chicken? Why did she send two chickens to Da Fei's wife? Why don't we go directly to her door to ask about the specific situation?"

"No, let's go back and ask her daughter-in-law."

"You think there's no trouble at home..."

"As you said, she and her second daughter-in-law live together. They stewed two chickens. How can her second daughter-in-law not see or smell them? They would have started a quarrel long ago. The eldest daughter-in-law is far away. Don’t know what’s normal.”

While they were chatting, Huang Juan had already packed up and left. Those who were chatting lively under the big banyan tree immediately reminded each other when they saw Huang Juan's figure. They didn't discuss it again until they watched Huang Juan leave.

"Did you see it? It's her..."

"That's weird. How could someone be so unjust as to give two chickens to Da Fei's wife? Are rich people so weird?"

"This man looks strangely familiar..."

"Wait a minute, I remembered. Isn't she the wife of Wang Huhu of Dawang Village? She is the Ten Thousand Yuan household in Dawang Village. Seven or eight years ago, it was a Ten Thousand Yuan household. I heard that both sons are doing business in the south. Although I’m away from home all year round, but every time I come back, it’s always lively!”

"The one who came back on a motorcycle last year?"

"That's right, it's his family. That motorcycle is the only motorcycle in our ten miles and eight villages. After hearing the specific price, Wang Laohu even beat his son severely."

"Can we not fight? It's 12,000 yuan. Just that motorcycle, a household worth 10,000 yuan is gone. Oh my God, if I were Wang Laohu, I would be scared to death when I heard this price."

"Most of the young people in our village don't go home all year round, but who can have as much future as them!
Similarly, if you don't go home all year round, people can earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands a year. It's great for young people in our village to bring back a thousand yuan. "

"No, are Wang Laohu's family related to Da Fei's wife's family? Why have I never heard of it? And even if there is a relationship, Da Fei's daughter-in-law should be the one who went to Wang Lao Lao's house to give gifts. Why is it that Wang Lao Lao's daughter-in-law gave it to Da Fei? If your wife gives you a gift, isn’t this going against Tiangang?”

"Yeah, what's going on?"

"Other things are becoming clearer and clearer as time goes by. Why does it seem that the more we delve into this matter, the more confused we become?"

By this time, it was getting dark, and many people were starting to have dinner. It was obviously impossible for them to skip dinner just because of this matter. They had been discussing it all night, and they were too embarrassed to rush directly to Bai Sheng's house to ask questions, so they had no choice but to disperse first.

Let’s discuss it later when we have the opportunity.

At this time, Bai Sheng only ate the chicken wings, chicken feet and chicken legs of the two chickens, leaving the rest untouched.

Although eating more meat will indeed help her practice the Turtle Breath Nourishing Technique and increase the concentration of vitality in her body, these ordinary meats require a large amount for her to effectively improve, and it is quite troublesome for her to eat them. Ten chickens It's not as effective as any of her ordinary qi and blood elixirs.

So of course there is no need to eat them all.

As soon as Huang Juan left, she divided the remaining chicken into two portions. One portion was taken directly to the second daughter-in-law's kitchen on the right side of the house. She said hello and said it was for them to eat, and then took the other portion. The eldest daughter-in-law’s house.

It turns out that there is a certain distance between the eldest son’s home and the second son’s home. Of course, the straight-line distance is quite close, less than 100 meters. However, because there is a river in the middle, you need to take a detour from where there is a bridge, so the actual distance is not It's too close, probably nearly ten minutes away.

However, such a small distance is obviously not a problem for Bai Sheng, who has already recovered.

Seven or eight minutes later, she arrived at her eldest daughter-in-law's house with a bowl of chicken. At this time, her eldest daughter-in-law Li Lihui had already picked up her son from the first grade and was having dinner in the house. When she saw Bai Sheng, she hurriedly greeted him. :

"Mom, have you eaten? How about some?"

Through the dim yellow light, Bai Sheng could clearly see the dinner at his eldest daughter-in-law's house, which consisted of a large bowl of thick porridge and a plate of dried radishes.

The eldest son of the original family is relatively lazy and is far less willing to endure hardships than the second son. The money he brings back every year is also not as much as the second son. Since the family has little other income, the life of the eldest daughter-in-law's family is naturally relatively poor. Fortunately, the eldest daughter-in-law is quite hard-working, so at least she has no problem with basic food and clothing.

But if you want to be too good, it's not very possible.

For three meals a day, I basically eat whatever I grow on my plot. Occasionally, I stew eggs with eggs from the old hens at home, or scramble eggs for nourishment.

I tried to raise pigs two years ago. I worked hard to take care of an old sow for a year, but the old sow gave birth to a piglet in the end. No matter how I calculated it, it was a loss for that year. Then I simply sold it. Now the pig The pen is mainly used for stacking debris, but the chicken pen next to it is well utilized.

Raised about ten chickens.

It can barely be considered an income.

"No, I came here to eat. Someone brought two chickens today. I ate some, and I couldn't finish the rest. I'll give you some. I've already sent them to Lao Er's house. These are for you. Yes, you should eat quickly and remember to bring the bowl back to me tomorrow."

After putting down the bowl of chicken and talking again, Bai Sheng immediately turned around and left. At the same time, she couldn't help but let out a deep sigh in her heart. If she really wanted to let herself eat hot and spicy food, she would watch her two daughters-in-law and their grandchildren eating chaff. vegetable.

It's really hard to be cruel.

Not to mention, there are two sons working outside, and I know that their life will not be too easy while working outside. Although Bai Sheng knows very well, there must be people in the world who are more miserable than his family, and their lives are more difficult. of.

But others are others, and one’s own family is one’s own!
Who is still distant from each other?

Because Bai Sheng spoke too quickly, unlike in the past when she had to dawdle for a while, her eldest daughter-in-law, Li Lihui, really didn't react at first. By the time she came to her senses and wanted to say something, Bai Sheng had already walked away.

As for her son Liu Debao, his face was full of longing, he kept swallowing his saliva, staring at the bowl of chicken, and asked:

"Mom, can I eat it?"

"Eat, but eat less. Don't eat too greasy at night. You can still have two more meals tomorrow."

There is nothing embarrassing about the things that the child's own grandmother brought over, but such a big bowl of chicken cannot be eaten all at once, so Li Lihui picked up the bowl and gave a few pieces to her son, and then took the rest. Seal the small jar and store it in a cool place.

The weather is not hot now. If the temperature is high, you will need to add more salt to preserve it.

On the way back, Bai Sheng thought that maybe she would not consider other ways to make money and just become an internal skill master. Although in this world, other internal skill masters should be liars, she just knew that she was not a liar. Since she was not a liar, , then obtaining funds through this is naturally a serious income.

As for whether to teach the technique to others, let's wait until the time comes. Anyway, her Turtle Breath Nourishing Technique cannot be spread. Without her family's bloodline, especially the soul's bloodline, it is impossible to get started.

But even so, Bai Sheng doesn't intend to be too high-profile, so let's start with Huang Juan to earn some meat!
Just in time to add some nutrition to the grandchildren!

After Huang Juan is completely cured, let her spread the word a little bit, and then the money will not come rolling in. She won't even have to come to make money herself, others will have to come to her to beg her!

Thinking about it this way, the road to become a master of internal strength is not bad.

It can be regarded as the ability to settle down and live in peace!
