Chapter 160 Virtue!

Guo Xiumei frowned, went to the wheat store, scooped up half a bag of wheat, and carried it to the mill on a bicycle.

The mill is at the entrance of the village, not far away. Every day, people grind noodles here. The business is good, and the charges are reasonable. A bag of wheat flour is only charged four yuan for electricity. Everyone can bring flour and bran. Walk.

When he got there, Xu Mancang, who was in charge of grinding noodles, waved his hands repeatedly when he saw Guo Xiumei: "What are you doing here, hurry up, I don't want to see you."

"What are you talking about, I'll grind the noodles." Guo Xiumei threw half a bag of wheat on the ground dissatisfied.

"How much credit did you say you had? Last time, last time, it was ten yuan in total. If you give it to me, I'll grind it for you." Xu Mancang reached out and asked for the money.

Guo Xiumei's face turned red all of a sudden, and she said stiffly: "Is it okay to owe it again? Folks in the village, what are you doing? I can still run away. Why don't I just pay you later? Besides, my boss will send you living expenses right away." Now, I'll give you money right away!"

Xu Mancang immediately curled his lips: "It's true that your family Mingzhe sends you living expenses every month, but your family has money from playing cards and gambling every day. I think you can't even pay off the debts owed to outsiders with that little money!"

Xu Guo has a gambling habit, and now everyone in the Xu family village knows about it, and everyone knows that their family owes money everywhere, and they can't even pay for the demolition of the east wall to make up for the west wall.

At this time, who would dare to give credit to their family members rashly, credit would mean throwing money in vain, and there would be no sound.

Guo Xiumei was so choked that she couldn't speak.

I just wanted to say a few words, but Dr. Hao came over at this time, looking for Xu Mancang to buy noodles and go back to roll noodles to eat.

Dr. Hao is a very enthusiastic and friendly doctor in the village. He is loved by the villagers. Xu Mancang also has a smile on his face and hurriedly weighs flour for Dr. Hao.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Doctor Hao gave him three yuan.

"Say something polite, come back if you need anything." Xu Mancang accepted the money and said with a smile.

"What else do you need? What else can you buy besides noodles? What you said is really big!" Guo Xiumei gritted her teeth angrily because Xu Mancang refused to grind flour for her.

Only then did Dr. Hao realize that Guo Xiumei was also here, and he took two quick steps and walked up to him: "Ms. Guo, when did you owe me the medicine last time? , I just met here today, you should give it to me, and the account will be settled soon."

She went out to grind the noodles, but not only failed to grind it, but also ran into two bills, Guo Xiumei also felt that she was unlucky.

"All right, all of you want money, but I don't have any money, so can you force me to death?" Guo Xiumei rolled her eyes, and began to play tricks.

"I don't have the money to pay for wheat! You sell half a bag of wheat to me for [-] cents a catty, and the money in exchange is worth the bill between Dr. Hao and me, and I'll grind the rest into flour for you, how about it?" Xu said. Mancang looked at Guo Xiumei like a shrew, knowing that he would not get the money back, so he had to think of a compromise.

"Forty cents a catty, what are you cheating? They sell for four cents!" Guo Xiumei immediately jumped up, pointed at Xu Mancang's nose and cursed: "Emotions, are you a black shop?"

"It's not up to you alone whether the store is black or not. Hurry up, whether it's worth it or not, I have to be busy!" Xu Mancang said, about to drive Guo Xiumei away.

If you can't grind noodles, that means you can't eat. No matter how tough Guo Xiumei is, she can't eat wheat grains. In desperation, she gritted her teeth and nodded: "Put it higher!"

Xu Mancang gave her a sideways look, and weighed half the bag of wheat.

"There are 53 catties of wheat in total. I deduct 25 catties of wheat from my ten yuan, and deduct [-] catties from Dr. Hao's eight yuan. You still have eight catties of wheat left. Come on, don't turn on the machine if you have so little. A catty of wheat usually has eight or two sides, and two catties of bran, I will weigh it for you directly, and you can take it back!" After Xu Mancang finished speaking, he quickly poured the wheat into the granary, gave Doctor Hao eight yuan, and gave another Guo Xiumei weighed six and a half catties of flour and one and a half catties of bran.

Half a bag of wheat was exchanged for just over six catties of flour. Naturally, Guo Xiumei felt extremely distressed. After taking the flour, she was still cursing: "It's a fraudulent shop!"

Xu Mancang replied dissatisfied: "You eight catties of noodles, I didn't ask you to grind the noodles, and I already gave you face. Don't come here after you think I'm so dirty!"

Guo Xiumei paused slightly.

Xu Mancang was the only noodle grinder in several nearby villages. If Xu Mancang was really offended, he might not even have to eat flour in the future, so he stopped cursing, carried the flour, pushed the bicycle, and left in despair.

"Virtue! A bullying guy!" Xu Mancang spat behind his back.

When Guo Xiumei came home, Xu Guoyou smoked with his legs crossed.

He had no money to buy cigarettes, and because he borrowed money on credit everywhere, the supermarket would no longer give him credit. In desperation, Xu Guoyou had no choice but to go to a nearby village where tobacco leaves were grown, and steal tobacco leaves baked by others from time to time, and take the paper by himself. Wrap it up and make do with it.

Seeing Guo Xiumei come back, Xu Guoyou stared immediately: "Where is the dead old woman? She doesn't make lunch at noon. She wants to starve me to death?"

"I've gone to grind the noodles. If I don't grind the noodles, what do I eat!" Guo Xiumei also had a deep resentment towards Xu Guoyou. Seeing that he didn't do any work all day, she knew that he would go out to gamble and then come back and yell at her, and she was even more unconvinced: "Vegetable field ** eggplant beans, bugs will be eaten up, you don't care!"

"Why do you care about those things? I can win ten yuan at the poker table if I have free time to manage the dishes!" Xu Guoyou coughed, thinking that Guo Xiumei had long hair and short-sightedness, and her shallow eyelids couldn't see anything. .

At the mention of playing cards, Guo Xiumei suddenly became angry.

If it wasn't for Xu Guoyou playing cards, if it wasn't for him losing money, the two of them would still be able to live very well with the 500 yuan that Xu Mingzhe sent home every month.

It's good now, the money has been paid off, not to mention throwing it on the card table, and there are still a lot of debts everywhere, and when I go out, I am always poked in the back and asked when I will pay back the money, it is really embarrassing.

But Xu Guoyou didn't know where he was wrong at all, and he was still obsessed with it, focusing on the poker table.

"Playing cards, playing cards, you know how to play cards. You talk about winning money every day. Where's the money?" Guo Xiumei said angrily, putting her bicycle there.

"Give me ten yuan now, and I'll bring you back 20 yuan in a while!" Xu Guoyou stretched out his hand dissatisfied.

"Bah, if you win, I think you'll lose!" Guo Xiumei spat in disdain.

"Prodigal girls, talk unlucky words, bah bah bah." Xu Guoyou has been unlucky recently, and when he heard Guo Xiumei say that he lost money, he immediately became anxious: "I said, why am I so unlucky at the poker table every day?" , feelings are all talking behind your back, you prodigal bitch!"

"I'll just chant and curse you, lose money, lose money, lose money!" Guo Xiumei was so angry that she threw the flour on the ground and yelled, pointing at Xu Guoyou's nose.
