Lu Dagui stretched out his hand to rub his head and said with a smile, "There are many dirty things in this world. You are still young. When you grow up, you will be able to see them all."
Yun Cuihe heard this and hurriedly urged everyone.
"After unloading the mule cart, go to the kitchen to eat. Just fry some cabbage rice."
…
After eating, before Lu Dagui had left, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.
"Sister-in-law Yun, are you in the house?"
Yun Cuihe, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, turned around and shouted, "Dagui, go help me see who is outside the door."
"Hey, that's good."
Lu Dagui responded and came to the door and opened it. When he saw the three or five women in front of him, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
These ladies usually don't interact much with Xinghe's family, so why are they here together today?
Uncharacteristically, the women did not look down on Lu Dagui as before, but said with flattering smiles, "Dagui is here too."
Then he was about to enter, but was stopped by Lu Dagui.
"Hey, wait! What are you doing here?"
Some villagers frowned and said, "Lu Dagui, what are you doing? We are all from the same village, why are you stopping us? We don't know how to do anything."
Lu Dagui had no intention of getting out of the way.
"I won't tell you what you are going to do. This is the Xinghe family. You have to tell me what you are going to do, right?"
One person snorted with disdain, "Do you really think you are a guard dog? You don't even think about what kind of virtue you had in the past. You stole other people's money and you still had the nerve to work in someone else's house."
Lu Dagui's face immediately turned cold after hearing this.
Seeing this, several other people hurriedly tugged on the sleeves of the woman who spoke.
"Ms. Li, be careful what you say and don't forget what we came for."
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and ignored Lu Dagui. Instead, she looked into the room and shouted, "Sister-in-law Yun, are you in the room?"
After a long while, Yun Cuihe leisurely walked out of the house carrying a pot of hot dirty water. As soon as she went out, she saw a few familiar faces.
"Hey, why are you guys here?"
When those people saw Yun Cuihe, they smiled and said hello, "Sister-in-law Yun, are you busy?"
"Isn't that right? I have a lot of things to do at home."
Yun Cuihe's expression was a little cold. She had clearly heard Mr. Li scolding Lu Dagui just now. Didn't he just come to find trouble?
Although several people noticed it, they still smiled at each other.
"Sister-in-law Yun, we just want to borrow some food from you. Now everyone has nothing to eat, and the relief food in the town is of no use. Just treat us as pitiful and give us some food."
Yun Cuihe placed the pot in her hand on the ground.
"It's not that I won't lend you food, and my family doesn't have enough food. Today Xinghe went to the town to collect relief food, but the food is really useless and is full of sand."
Hearing this, those people were also filled with anger.
"Yes, I don't know who has a bad heart. He mixed the relief food with sand. It is clear that he wants to cut off our livelihood."
"But Sister-in-law Yun, we are all from the village. Now, your family is a real rich family in our village. We all know that your family still has some surplus food. You can give us a little, just to save your life. You You also know that if it is not a last resort, we will not come to ask for help. In the future, when we recover, we will definitely repay you with a good life. "
The attitude of these people is very good.
The key point is that when they lived in the old house, they had some friendship with him. Last time, they did not make trouble with the villagers because of the well water issue.
Yun Cuihe knew that if she didn't spit out some food today, she might not be able to justify it.
"It's not impossible to let me come out evenly." She looked at Mrs. Li, "But Mrs. Li, you have to apologize to Dagui first. Now that Dagui has turned around and is working in my house again, you just insulted me. He is just wrong, and he doesn’t take my family seriously.”
Lu Dagui, who was silent on the side, was really moved after hearing Yun Cuihe's words. In this village, I am afraid that only Lu Xinghe's family still treats Lu Dagui as a green onion. In the eyes of other people, he is nothing.
"Oh." Mrs. Li stepped forward and held Yun Cuihe's hand, "Sister-in-law Yun, I was just outspoken, but I didn't mean not to take your family seriously."
Yun Cuihe patted her hand.
"I know you don't mean this to my family. We are all fellow villagers. Please apologize to Lu Dagui and let this matter be put aside for now."
Li said angrily, "Sister-in-law Yun, you know I don't mean this, why do you want me to apologize to Lu Dagui?"
To put it bluntly, she still looked down upon people like Lu Dagui in her heart.
After Yun Cuihe heard this, she coldly pushed Li's hand off her arm.
"Then please come back. My family really doesn't have any extra food to lend out." After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the house, "Dagui, see you off!"
Lu Dagui immediately responded, "Okay!"
The other women were anxious and were busy winking at Mr. Li.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li had no choice but to hold Yun Cuihe's hand.
"Sister-in-law Yun, I apologize. Isn't that enough?" The next moment, she looked at Lu Dagui with some discomfort on her face. "Dagui, what I said just now was because of my aunt's indiscretion. I apologize to you."
When Lu Dagui saw this, he didn't agree with her.
"Auntie, you are serious. I know that I have done a lot of bad things in the past. I just hope that everyone will not always look at me in the same light as before. People will change."
Mr. Li looked ashamed.
"What Dagui said is that it's better if you don't argue with your aunt."
Seeing this, Yun Cuihe took out the rice bag that was about to bottom out from the house.
"I can't divide you too much today. I'm afraid that if one family can only share two or three kilograms at most, my family will have to keep ten or twenty kilograms to make ends meet. I don't know what will happen next, but after you go back, you can You must prove to me in the village, my family is really out of food."
After saying that, he gave each of the five women a large bowl of brown rice.
The women knew clearly that Yun Cuihe was afraid that other people would come to her to beg for food.
They all rummaged through their pockets to get rice, and nodded in response to Yun Cuihe's words, "Sister-in-law Yun, don't worry, if someone comes to the house like they did last time asking for water, you can ask Xingping Xingan to go to our house." Let’s talk to our families.”
With the promise from several people, Yun Cuihe also had a smile on her lips.
"Last time Xinghe came back from the county town and told me that there was no food to buy in the town, but there was in the county town. After all, the food in your hands can barely last two or three days. If you still have some money left, you can buy some. Coping with it.”
After all, we are not at the end of the road yet. Although the price of food is a bit high, we can still save our lives. The eldest brother and the second brother also borrowed a mule cart from home to buy some food in the county town a few days ago.
I am not a Bodhisattva. If I can point out a clear path, I have already exhausted my benevolence and righteousness. There is no reason to help repeatedly.
