Xie Jiaojiao was out of breath and ran to the entrance of the town to join Sun Ruhua and the others.
"Why have you been gone for so long?" Sun Ruhua asked with concern.
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hands and did not answer. She got on the bullock cart and waited for a long time before she recovered.
Thinking that she had just beaten that idiot, she felt very happy, but after thinking about it, she should be more careful when going to town in the future, so as not to run into this group of people again. Who did she beat today? Given her character, she would definitely not let her go.
After thinking about it like this, we arrived at the village.
Sun Ruhua thanked Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang smiled and said that she should come to help as soon as possible. Sun Ruhua agreed.
Whichever marriage family in this village has a better relationship will always go there early to help, so that when your family has something to do, someone will come to help you.
When she got home, Sun Ruhua wanted to ask her something else, but she didn't ask her.
After putting down the basket, Sun Ruhua started busy cooking, and asked Xie Jiaojiao to go to the field to pull out two radishes and bring them back to fry them!
On these days, Xie Jiaojiao was fed up with eating either radishes or cabbages every day, but there was nothing she could do about it in ancient times. Unlike before, you could eat fresh vegetables all year round.
During the meal, Sun Ruhua said that in the afternoon she had to clear out the two pieces of land that her cheap father had previously planted. The soybeans that had been planted before were already ripe, and she had not taken the time to harvest them.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded. If the soybeans are harvested, the land can be used to plant a pile of sugar cane tips in the backyard. I just remember that when I was a child, I bought these sugar canes during the Chinese New Year. Leave the tips behind and bury them in the ground. Buds will sprout in spring.
After working all afternoon, the three people finally moved all the soybeans and poles back home.
The main reason why we were able to move all these things back so quickly was because of the barren land and the poor growth of soybeans.
Sun Ruhua cleaned the front yard and piled up the soybean poles. Then she went to Mrs. Wang's house to borrow tools and patted the soybean poles. Xie Jiaojiao had seen this kind of farm tool at home when she was a child, but now she really wants to Can't remember what it's called.
After beating all the soybeans on the surface, Sun Ruhua turned the soybean stem over again.
Xie Jiaojiao stepped forward and took the farm tools from her hand: "Mom, let me do it. You are tired too. Take a rest."
Sun Ruhua didn't argue with her. After all, she was getting older and felt tired when she did some work.
Xie Jiaojiao imitated Sun Ruhua's example and patted the soybean pole clean in a few strokes.
As soon as the soybean stalk is moved away, there are golden soybeans underneath, some of which still have shells, just pinch them with your hands.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Sun Ruhua went to the kitchen to cook.
Xie Zhiyi took the dustpan and picked up all the soybeans on the ground.
While they were still working on it, someone suddenly came to the house.
Xie Jiaojiao was surprised when she saw the people coming from the first and second bedrooms.
Hey, you are a rare visitor. Seeing that it is almost dark, these two families came to the door at the same time, so there must be nothing good going on.
Sun Ruhua also saw it and came out with a spoon.
"What are you doing here!"
As soon as Chen Hongju entered the door, she looked unhappy.
"Mom, after all, our Zhishu was also involved in opening up these two pieces of land, and Zhishu and I planted these soybeans, and you didn't even say a word when you harvested them!"
Xie Zhili also spoke at this time: "That's right! Mom, these soybeans were planted before the family was separated. After all, they are food for our whole family. You can't just eat them all."
After saying that, Xie Zhili and Xie Zhishu looked at each other, took out a cloth bag from their arms, squatted next to Xie Zhiyi, and actively packed the soybeans.
When Xie Zhiyi saw the two brothers, he was reflexively afraid and ran directly to Xie Jiaojiao and hid behind Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the two Xie brothers who were no different from robbers. She grabbed the spoon from Sun Ruhua's hand and hit them both. She also didn't forget to hit the hand that had just been filled with soybeans. Two times.
When Chen Hongju saw her husband being beaten, she rushed up to grab the spoon from Xie Jiaojiao's hand to avoid being beaten a few times too!
"Xie Jiaojiao, you're fucking crazy!"
Xie Jiaojiao pointed a spoon at the three people opposite: "Xie Zhishu, Xie Zhili, do I agree to let you enter my house? As soon as you come in, you will rob my house. I will beat you to death to protect myself!"
"Who robbed you of something? It was originally planted by me, before we split up! Why can't I take it!"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the three people in front of her and sneered: "Don't think that I don't know what you are holding in your stomach!"
"These two pieces of land are right on that slope, and you can see the old house from the yard! You know we are harvesting soybeans, so you want to wait for us to finish harvesting and then come directly to your door to share them for free? Are you dreaming!"
"Since we took all these things back, they all belong to us!"
"Why! Why do you guys take advantage of everything!" Chen Hongju roared, thinking about the pig last time, she still felt distressed. If the pig was raised and sold before the Chinese New Year next month, their big house would be divided between them. How much money!
Sun Ruhua stood up at this time: "It's just me living with them!"
As soon as Sun Ruhua spoke, Chen Hongju didn't dare to challenge her. She didn't dare to say anything, but Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili did.
"Mom, you are living with them, but we two brothers also said at the beginning that we will support you. It was you who insisted on staying with them, and we also provided the money to support you in your old age. At this time, you are like this It’s unreasonable to say, and it’s just soybeans, so you can just give Jiaojiao two acres of reclaimed land. We wanted to share some soybeans, but you didn’t agree. You’re too partial!”
Xie Zhili agreed with Xie Zhishu's words: "Yes."
Sun Ruhua was so angry that she couldn't stand still. Xie Jiaojiao supported her and said to Xie Zhiyi: "Zhiyi, help your mother go back to the house to rest. Don't come out if you hear anything!"
Sun Ruhua glanced at Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded towards her: "Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Sun Ruhua didn't even look at the two brothers before going in.
When Sun Ruhua came in, Xie Jiaojiao said to the three of them, "You saw the benefits there and wanted to take some, right?"
"Are we taking advantage of you? We grew these soybeans, and if we want to take advantage, it's you who takes advantage! A girl is sharing the family's land and the family's food. What else do you want?"
Xie Jiaojiao stared at Xie Zhili: "What's wrong with women? Women are not human beings? Women don't need to eat? Am I a female Bodhisattva?"
Xie Zhili did not answer: "Stop talking about what is available and what is not available. We must divide these soybeans!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay, since we want to divide it, then let's divide this afternoon between my mother and I and Zhiyi's coolie! I remember it right. If you hire a long-term worker for a day, it will cost you ten cents no matter what. Five or six cents, right? The three of us have done all this in a long time, so let’s count it as half! Then it’s twenty-four cents! Give us the money, give us the money, and we’ll divide the soybeans immediately!”
The three of them were not happy, as they still needed money.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the three of them: "What? It's you who have to make the distinction clearly. Now that I've made it clear, it's time to pay, so you should pay!"
Chen Hongju put her hands on her waist and said: "Others are so good at hard work as long-term workers, why do you three have to be so tall?"
"Whatever I say is what it is! Why do you say that? This is my labor, I can't ask for more?"
"If you are willing to take this copper coin, then I will give you a share. If you don't agree, get out immediately!"
The two brothers looked at each other and neither of them wanted to pay. The soybeans were not growing well.
They came here just because they didn’t want Xie Jiaojiao to take advantage of this alone. Such a small amount of soybeans was only half a bag, which was not enough to sell. They had to take the money and go out. Both families were obviously unwilling. .
Xie Zhishu said: "Then you ate food for free at home before, and I didn't calculate the money for you."
The three of them all looked at Xie Jiaojiao, as if she was convinced!
"Xie Zhishu, are you mentally ill? Have your family been separated before? If you had any objections before, you should have said it before! If you don't pay, don't blame me for beating you out!"
Xie Jiaojiao said, waving the spoon in her hand, and the three of them were beaten and retreated to the door.
Chen Hongju scolded: "You two grown men can't beat a woman?"
The two brothers were frightened by Xie Jiaojiao. Is this Xie Jiaojiao just a woman? She is a crazy woman, okay!
Upon hearing what Chen Hongju said, the two of them immediately pushed her in front of Xie Jiaojiao: "You go ahead!"
As soon as Chen Hongju saw Xie Jiaojiao's eyes and the spoon in her hand, she immediately turned into a wimp.
He ran behind the two brothers again.
Xie Jiaojiao was very satisfied with how they were afraid of her, which would prevent them from causing trouble again in the future.
He raised the spoon and closed the door directly: "If you have something to do in the future, don't come to my house, you are not welcome!"
Chen Hongju was still cursing at the door, but seeing that Xie Jiaojiao ignored her at all, she finally followed Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili away, cursing.
