Chapter 42 I am your grandfather

Wang Guihua quickly snatched it away and said, "You don't like this, leave it alone. I'll make you some noodles."

Wang Qingyou held the steamed bun and refused to let go, so Wang Guihua naturally couldn't snatch it away.

"Mom, didn't I tell you not to be frugal and waste your energy on eating something that has no nutrition?"

Wang Guihua lowered her head and said, "But we couldn't eat this on the road of escape. I found some wild vegetables and cooked it by the way."

When she was in the county town, she basically ate white rice, so it was a waste to keep this big bag of coarse grains. After Wang Qingyou was gone, she basically ate coarse grains. Who knew that she suddenly came back and she didn't have time to clean up.

"Mom, your body has been in poor health to begin with, and you should take good care of yourself now. Don't eat these things for now." Wang Qingyou gave all the change he had to Wang Guihua.

"Mom, keep this money first. Go buy whatever you want to eat, but make sure you have meat and vegetables for every meal. If you run out of money, come to me for more. You know I still have a lot of money, enough to support the three of us. I'll let Li Wu supervise you. If you eat these again, I won't talk to you anymore."

Speaking of Li Wu, Wang Qingyou remembered that she hadn't seen him for so long since she came back, "Where's Li Wu?"

"He was afraid that someone would steal his bricks, so he slept there at night," Wang Guihua explained.

"Thank you two for your hard work. You should eat something good to replenish your bodies. You need to replenish your bodies, and Li Wu needs to replenish his bodies too. Don't let the two of you collapse from exhaustion after the house is built."

Wang Guihua nodded, "I understand. Let me cook you a bowl of noodles first."

Wang Guihua was naturally worried because her daughter was hungry.

Wang Qingyou shook her head. "Forget it. It's hard to sleep if you eat too much at night. I'll just have some cakes."

She brought it back from the county town specifically for Wang Guihua, but she didn't expect to eat it herself.

Early in the morning, Wang Guihua went to the village chief's house and bought a particularly fat chicken. Since her daughter had come back, she naturally had to make something delicious for her to nourish her body. Working in the escort agency every day was quite tiring.

"Oh, where did you steal another chicken from?" Mrs. Qian sneered coldly.

Wang Guihua didn't expect to meet Mrs. Qian at the door of her house. She lowered her head and just wanted to go home quickly.

There were still many passers-by around, waiting to go to the fields to tend to the crops, but this did not stop them from watching the show. Some of the curious ones asked directly, "What do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Qian glanced at Wang Guihua and said, "She wanted to eat chicken, so she stole my chicken yesterday when I wasn't paying attention. Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise my chicken would be gone."

Everyone in Luoshui Village has lived together for decades. Some of them naturally know about Mrs. Qian's faults. She is stingy, selfish and very lazy. Otherwise, whose chickens would be as thin as hers?

"I think your chickens are so hungry that they have gone out to find food. Why are you still feeding them dirt?"

The people around burst into laughter.

It is said that Mrs. Qian is also incredibly lazy. Her husband died early, leaving only one son to raise. Both of them are equally lazy. She raised a few chickens but was too lazy to feed them. She just put a pot of soil in front of the chickens, hoping that earthworms would crawl out of the soil for the chickens to eat. One of the chickens starved to death, and she realized that the chickens would not live long, so she let the chickens go. She didn't want to find food to feed them, so she let them roam free. The chickens ran out every two or three days. Someone passed by and picked up a chicken, thinking that it was good luck from heaven, but Mrs. Qian squatted by the side, waiting for him to take the chicken away and then jumped out immediately. She wrongly accused others of stealing her chickens, not only to get the chickens back, but also to extort money. Although she never succeeded in extorting money, she always enjoyed it.

Everyone in Luoshui Village knew the truth, but Wang Guihua didn’t. She thought everyone was laughing at her. She couldn’t be wrongly accused of being a thief, so she quickly explained, “This is not a chicken I stole. I bought it from the village chief’s house.”

"This chicken is so greasy and smooth. It must have been raised by the village chief's second daughter-in-law."

"Yeah, I don't know how she raises chickens, they grow well, have lots of meat, and the hens lay lots of eggs."

Wang Guihua finally breathed a sigh of relief knowing that no one had misunderstood her. Although there were people in Luoshui Village who liked to stir up trouble, there were also many sensible people.

She smiled shyly and went into the house.

Mrs. Qian glared at her fiercely, then looked at the people around her, "What are you looking at? What's so good about it? Hurry up and leave. If you don't want to work at home, come and help me dig the ground. I have plenty of things for you to do."

Mrs. Qian was lazy and of course she didn't know how to take good care of the crops. Every year the harvest was only a small amount, and she could only barely survive by relying on the help from her mother's family.

Wang Qingyou was awakened by a burst of fragrance. When she smelled it, her stomach started to growl.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Li Wu washing up. "You're awake. Hurry up and wash up. Your mother's noodles will be ready soon."

Li Wu is not a person who pays attention to the desire for food.

Naturally, he ate the wild vegetable steamed buns with Wang Guihua. After eating tasteless food for a long time, he felt like he was sublimated just by smelling the chicken soup. After asking, he found out that it was Wang Qingyou who came back. No wonder she made chicken soup noodles.

Li Wu naturally blamed Wang Guihua for what she meant. He had lived a hard life before, and things didn't get better until he met Zhang San. It didn't matter to him what he ate, as long as he could fill his stomach. But he wouldn't mind if the taste was better, because who doesn't want to eat good food?

After dinner, Wang Qingyou went to check the progress of the house construction. Wang Qingyou didn't want to cause trouble for Wang Guihua, so he decided that the normal fee for building a house for others was twelve cents a day, and they paid fifteen cents a day, without meals.

"Haozi, don't fall asleep, hurry up and work." A simple and honest young man patted the young man who was dozing off.

Zhou Pinghao yawned, "Hey Uncle Zhuzi, that person has gone home to rest and won't be back in a short time, so just let me sleep for a while."

Wang Qingyou walked over and everyone looked at the little girl. They didn’t know her and thought she might be a disaster victim who had just arrived in the village.

"Where are you going, little girl?" Zhao Zhuzi asked. It would be troublesome if this newcomer was not familiar with the road and took the wrong path, or encountered any danger.

"Uncle Zhuzi, why do you care about her? Just hurry up and lay your bricks." Zhou Pinghao said coldly.

"Who are you?" Wang Qingyou asked Zhou Pinghao.

Zhou Pinghao stood up suddenly, with a dogtail grass hanging from his mouth, "I am your grandfather."
