Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 19
When the crowd dispersed, Zhao Min returned to the yard angrily, picked up the hoe next to the pigsty, and was about to rush out.

Gu Po looked at her coldly, "Stop! What are you doing?"

Zhao Min was obviously very angry, his small chest was bulging with anger, and the hand holding the hoe trembled slightly.

"People are bullying me, should I just sit idly by? I'll settle the score with them."

Saying that, Zhao Min was about to run out again, Gu Po threw the pannier on the ground, "Stop!"

Hearing that Gu Po scolded him so fiercely, Zhao Min felt a little wronged.

She felt that all of this was caused by herself. If it wasn't for herself, the Gu family wouldn't have to suffer from the people in the village criticizing behind their backs, let alone what happened today.

After being scolded by Gu Po, she was immediately angry and anxious. Such an optimistic woman also shed tears.

Seeing the tears on her face, Po Gu also felt that what she just said was a bit too much, she sighed and stepped forward to comfort her.

"I'm not blaming you. You know some things. We keep a low profile as much as we can in this village. Try not to conflict with people. Isn't it just pouring blood on the door? It's worse than that. I have suffered grievances, so what is it? You are still too young, you need to practice more."

Zhao Min was also very surprised, this was the first time that Gu Po had spoken so much to herself, just like an elder.

"Okay, it's getting dark, hurry up and cook, the young master will be back soon."

When Gu Lingqing came back, she must have taken a fancy to the dog blood on the door when she came in, but she didn't say a word after she came in, and she didn't even ask.

Gu Po and Gu Lingqing could pretend that this had never happened, but Zhao Min couldn't.

At night, after hearing Gu Lingqing's even breathing beside him, he got up quietly by himself and walked to Zhao's house at the east end of the village in the dark.

Zhao Min was full of anger, but she forgot one thing, Gu Lingqing is so skilled, how could she not hear her going out?
Sure enough, under the moonlight, there was a figure behind Zhao Min, who had been following her, neither far nor near.

Zhao Min walked all the way, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, because the bucket of things he was carrying smelled too strong.

Zhao Min, who was filled with revenge in his heart, did not feel afraid during this journey.

After walking to the door of Zhao's house, he threw a bucket of feces in his hand on the gate.

"I told you to pour dog blood on my house, but I can't cure you!"

"Slightly slightly slightly" Zhao Min stuck out his tongue towards Zhao's courtyard, and spit out a few more mouthfuls.

Throwing the bucket on the ground, Zhao Min was about to turn around and leave. After walking a few steps, he came back to pick up the bucket. Although it was a bit disgusting, Zhao Min didn't want to leave any evidence.

Gu Lingqing hid in the dark watching Zhao Min's series of childlike actions, couldn't help laughing, and thought it was a bit cute.

Seeing her leave, he quickened his pace and lay down on the bed before she went back.

Zhao Min sneakily placed the barrel next to the hut, and then returned to the room. Seeing that Gu Lingqing did not wake up, she was relieved.

Smelling some smell on her body, Zhao Min saw that Gu Lingqing didn't show any sign of waking up, so she found a clean change of clothes and prepared to wash the smelly clothes tomorrow.

Gu Lingqing heard the sound of someone coming in, but she didn't go to bed for a long time, and there were rustling sounds after a while.

Gu Lingqing couldn't help opening her glasses curiously, and under the moonlight, she saw Zhao Min changing clothes by the bed with her bellyband on her back.

Not long after, Zhao Min changed her clothes and turned around. Gu Lingqing quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Zhao Min, who had been busy for most of the night, was really tired. After a while, Gu Lingqing heard the sound of even breathing coming from her side. She opened her eyes and looked at Zhao Min's side face, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Damn it! Which wicked person poured so much dung on my door!"

Early in the morning, Zhao Xiu'e heard Grandma Zhao yelling at the door, she got up quickly, put on her clothes, and walked to the door to see what happened.

As a result, as soon as the door was opened, there was a stench. Zhao Xiu'e looked disgusted, covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, walked to the door, and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Walking in and taking a look, this is all right, there is no need for Grandma Zhao to answer her, Zhao Xiu'e saw the filth at the door at a glance.

"That little hoof of Zhao Min must have done it!"

With her hands on her hips, Grandma Zhao was so angry that she thumped her crutches on the ground twice, hard.

"I still don't believe this little bitch, I can't cure her anymore, let's go, Xiu'e, let's settle accounts with her!"

The two mother and daughter walked from the east end of the village to the west end of the village in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, from a distance, he saw Zhao Min sitting at the door, gnawing corn leisurely, as if he was waiting for the two of them to come.

For a moment, the two of them didn't know where to start.

It was Zhao Xiu'e who came back to her senses first, stepped forward, pointed at her and yelled at her.

"Zhao Xiu'e, did you pour the dung on my door? You little bitch!"

Zhao Min sat at the door, crossed Erlang's legs and kept shaking his legs, turning a deaf ear to the scolding of the two of them, "Well, it's really delicious, this corn is cooked well."

No matter how the two abused, Zhao Min just turned a deaf ear and did not respond.

Grandma Zhao pulled Xiu'e, "Xiu'e, let's go! Let's go to the village chief to judge, I don't believe this little hoof can't be cured!"

The two ran to the village chief's house in a hurry, insisting on dragging the village chief to judge.

Unexpectedly, along the way, many villagers were attracted, and many people who watched the fun followed behind them.

"Zhao Min, you little hoof..."

Just as Grandma Zhao was about to scold, Zhao Xiu'e tugged at her sleeves. Grandma Zhao realized that the village head and many other villagers were here at the moment, and she turned around with an aggrieved look.

"Village chief, come and criticize! I have cared about her food and housing since I was a child, but I never thought that after she got married, she would throw dung at the door of her mother's house!"

At this time, Zhao Min just finished gnawing a piece of corn, and after swallowing the last bite in his mouth, he walked forward.

"Since the village chief and all the villagers are here, let's discuss this matter properly."

Grandma Zhao stared, "What can I say? Did you spill the dung in my house?"

"Grandma, you need evidence for what you say."

"Who else can it be if it's not you, you must have revenge on me for the fact that I spilled dog blood at your door!"

Grandma Zhao was well-founded, but she didn't realize that she had slipped her mouth.

Zhao Xiu'e looked at her with resentment, and the surrounding villagers also talked about it.

Zhao Min had a clear expression, "Oh, so, it turns out that you spilled dog blood on my house yesterday."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Grandma Zhao's face, knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue just now, but she couldn't lose her momentum, "Yes, it was me who threw it. Do you dare to say that you didn't throw the dung today?"

Zhao Min showed a very blank expression, "Grandma, what are you talking about? What shit? I don't know anything about it."

Grandma Zhao was shocked by Zhao Min's innocent expression, took a step back, pointed at her, "You, you, you..."

"I, I, I'm fine, don't worry about grandma, as long as no one comes to slander me every day, everything will be fine."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the village head hurried out to preside over the overall situation.

"The Zhao family, do you have any evidence? If there is no evidence, everyone will be dispersed."

Zhao Xiu'e also hurried out to help her mother, acting as a peacemaker, "I'm really sorry, village chief, I let you make this trip for nothing, and I will go to your house to make amends another day."

Upon hearing this, the village chief said to the crowd watching the excitement, "Let's go, let's go."

"Wait a moment."

Originally, this matter was over, but upon hearing Zhao Min's words, the village chief frowned, "Miss Gu, what else do you want to say?"

Zhao Min took two steps forward, facing the surrounding folks.

"Folks, everyone heard it just now. Grandma Zhao admitted that she poured blood on my house. How should this matter be counted?"

"Yes, yes, the Zhao family admitted it with their own mouth just now."

"That's right, how can you do such a wicked thing?"

"This is her granddaughter!"

The surrounding folks talked a lot, Grandma Zhao lived most of her life, when was she being discussed in front of her like this?What's even more hateful is that I just admitted to pouring blood on her door.

For a moment, Grandma Zhao felt a little unsteady, and the sun above her head shone on her face, making her feel a little dizzy.
