"When I used to watch operas, when the heinous bad guys were being paraded through the streets, the people would throw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves on the prison cars. Why don't they throw them away now?" Ms. Liu stood on the side of the road with her head tilted and curious. asked.
Yang Huamei glanced at Mrs. Liu and said angrily: "Is the thing on your neck your head or your butt? You can't speak beyond your head?"
"Everyone doesn't have enough food to eat right now, and there's not enough wild vegetables to eat. Who has eggs and vegetable leaves to hit people with?"
Mrs. Liu was choked by Yang Huamei and was speechless.
He curled his lips and said, "I didn't ask you!" Then he got to the other side of the crowd and continued to watch the fun.
The women kept watching the prison van leave, chasing after it and scolding it. They chased until they could no longer catch up, and then they supported each other and walked back.
As they walked, they continued to criticize Butcher Chen’s family, scolding all eighteen generations of Butcher Chen’s family.
But men are different.
As soon as the prison van set off, Yang Huazhong took Chang Geng and the others with them and followed the route map provided by Yang Ruoqing until they found the valley where Butcher Chen and the others were hiding.
I found three tents in the valley, and I found dozens of kilograms of rice and half a wild boar inside the tents.
"Take the rice back, weigh it later, and share it with everyone." Yang Huazhong said.
Back in the village, Yang Huazhong and the others weighed the rice and found it weighed fifty kilograms.
The half wild boar was also weighed. Good guy, it actually weighed more than 150 kilograms.
"There are 70 or 80 households in our village, making it the largest village in Shiliba Village." Yang Huazhong said.
"We will add another 30 kilograms of rice from my house later, and we will make up 80 kilograms. No matter how many people are in the family, we will divide it according to the account. Each family will get one kilogram of rice and go back to make porridge."
"A family has two kilograms of wild boar. Let everyone come and line up to get the meat!"
As soon as the news was released, the whole village became as lively as the Chinese New Year.
After the disaster, everyone was very grateful to Yang Ruoqing for getting rice and meat. Although the portion was not much, by mincing the wild boar meat into minced meat and making porridge with rice, even a family of six could enjoy it for two days. Woolen cloth!
So, at noon on this day, in the sky above Changping Village, the smoke from the chimneys curled up, and laughter came from every household.
But one family had no intention of eating.
That's right, that's Wangfu's family.
Wangfu was also sent to the county government for being an accomplice. Granny Xiaoqin was so distraught that she cried on the bed.
"Mom, stop crying. Get up and eat some porridge. There's minced meat porridge!"
Xiaoqin came to the bedside with a bowl and cautiously advised.
"Your father-in-law is about to die, how can I still have the heart to eat minced meat porridge?" Granny Xiaoqin cried.
Xiaoqin frowned, bit her lip lightly, and said, "Mom, my father-in-law and the bad guys like Butcher Chen did that kind of thing. Even if they are caught, they still deserve it..."
"What did you say?"
Grandma Xiaoqin turned around suddenly and stared at Xiaoqin with eyes red from crying.
"If you are not a daughter, you are destined not to be a daughter. My wife is really an outsider," said Granny Xiaoqin.
"Thanks to me treating you like a daughter, now that your father-in-law is in trouble, you still have the heart to eat minced meat porridge? You are so cruel, you are destined to be different from us!"
Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Xiaoqin felt so wronged that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mom, what do you mean my father-in-law is in trouble? What happened this time is that he is creating disaster for others, okay?"
"To massacre the village, he and others came to massacre the village. We all almost died, and you still speak for him?" Xiaoqin asked in shock.
Grandma Xiaoqin raised her hand to wipe the tears and snot from her face, and said to Xiaoqin fiercely: "Even if your father-in-law is really a heinous bad guy, even if the whole village scolds him and curses him to die,"
"We can't either. We are a family. With Daping gone, your father-in-law is the backbone of our family!"
"Without him, our orphans and widowed mothers will be bullied to death. You idiot, you still help outsiders to criticize your father-in-law, you are so wolf-hearted!"
Xiaoqin was pointed at her nose and scolded by her mother-in-law until she couldn't hold her head up.
She really wanted to impulsively tell all the nasty things Wangfu had done to her, but she swallowed the words as they reached her tongue.
"Mom, let's not talk about anything else first. You can eat porridge first..."
Xiaoqin held the porridge bowl in both hands and carefully brought it to Granny Xiaoqin.
"Eat, eat, eat, I will never eat what you, a poisonous woman, made!"
Grandma Xiaoqin suddenly yelled and cursed, and raised her hand to knock the bowl of minced meat porridge to the ground.
"Wow……"
Xiaoqin's little daughter happened to be standing there. There was a stool with a small wooden bowl for the child on it.
There was also minced meat porridge in the small wooden bowl. The child was holding a small wooden spoon in his hand and was standing in front of the stool, scooping up the minced meat porridge into his little mouth.
At this moment, Granny Xiaoqin waved the whole bowl of minced meat porridge over with a wave of her hand, and half of it was splashed on the child.
The child let out a miserable cry.
The hair, face, and chest were all covered in minced meat porridge.
It was hot and radiating heat. The child was crying and stamping his feet on the ground, jumping vigorously.
"Erya!"
Xiaoqin's tone changed, and she stumbled to the child with a pale face, and hurriedly wiped the minced meat porridge off her face.
The child's nostrils and eyes were full of it, and his little face was bright red.
"Erya, Erya!"
Xiaoqin was so anxious that her tears fell down, and she hugged Erya in her arms. Erya cried so hard that she was out of breath.
Xiaoqin was also out of breath crying and didn't know what to do for a while.
Grandma Xiaoqin was so shocked when she saw her little granddaughter being burned that she quickly got out of bed.
"Oh my God, my son, how are you? Come on, come on, don't cry, hurry up and go find Uncle Fu!" Grandma Xiaoqin urged.
Xiaoqin just came to her senses at this time, quickly picked up the child and stumbled out of the door.
…
Yang Ruoqing spent one night in the county town, and returned to the village with Wang Hongtao and Baozhu at noon the next day.
"More than ten of us have made meritorious deeds. Magistrate Zou was very happy and rewarded us specially."
"All the villagers who participated in the arrest of Butcher Chen and the others the night before yesterday are worth ten taels of silver per person! No, the money is all here. Dad, go and call all the people who came over to participate in the arrest that night. I will take care of them one by one. Give me some money!" Yang Ruoqing said and placed a bundle on the table.
Soon, fifteen or six families came.
Yang Ruoqing handed out the money one by one, eight taels per person, and those who received the money were very happy.
"It just so happens that we are running out of rice at home. These eight taels of silver can be used to buy eight buckets of rice in Wa Market, which can last for more than a month!" Yuzhu said excitedly.
Others are also very happy.
Everyone was very happy after receiving the money, which deceived the other people around who came to watch the fun.
Mrs. Liu squeezed in front of Yang Ruoqing and said in a babbling tone: "Qing'er, can I get a share of this reward?"
