As the saying goes, where there are people there are rivers and lakes, and there are always a few grains of mouse droppings in a pot of porridge.
Most people in Wangjia Village are relatively satisfied with the small houses they have been assigned, because they already know that this village is relatively poor and everyone lives in similar housing.
But there are still some people whose faces are not good-looking. They lived a good life in their hometowns, but now that they see such a place, they just feel filled with panic.
Even though I know that this place is very poor, it is still difficult to accept it.
There was a family with a mule cart just now. Why not arrange for us to go there? At least we can take the opportunity to build a good relationship and get a ride in the future.
Several dissatisfied people gathered together and muttered.
Just in time for Wang Lizheng, who had just come back from outside, to listen and his face turned dark for a moment.
"If you want to live a good life, just shut your mouth. And you, Wang Dazui, why are you everywhere? Next time you let me hear such words, you all should stay away!"
As his name suggests, Wang Dazui has a big mouth. He doesn't do anything serious all day long and gossips with a group of aunts everywhere. He is also known as the Loud Mouth in Wangjia Village. Anyone who mentions him frowns.
He is obviously a man in his twenties and does not want to work hard to earn money and marry a wife. Every day he knows that his parents are short-sighted and gossipy, which is annoying to others.
This time, he was the only one who escaped death and scattered. He shouted that he was going to die every day, but he was still alive and well here. It's better now, if you don't work, just stir things up.
"I have already discussed with Li Zheng here to borrow some food for emergency use, and then return it to them when the relief food arrives. The relief food allocated to us seems to be coming soon. When the snow stops, we will go In the city.”
"What, you want to return it to them? Why!" Wang Dazui was the first to jump out and retort, why should he return the food he borrowed based on his ability!
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with contempt.
Borrowing something and not returning it is a bad character!
Even the person who just talked to him silently stayed away from him.
I didn’t expect you to be such a person!
We were wrong before!
Wang Dagu regretted his words again and quickly made up for it: "No, I didn't say I won't pay it back. I don't know how much the relief food is. What if it's not enough? We can pay it back when we have enough food."
"Shut up, wait for the relief rations to come, and just take them from it. Also, if any of you has money, you can buy it from them." Wang Lizheng scolded Wang Dazui, and turned around to give instructions to everyone .
"Is it okay to buy it? Then I will buy some fine grains. My little monkey needs to take a good supplement." An aunt in the crowd said quickly.
When she fled the famine, she brought a lot of money with her and hid it well on her body. Although some was stolen and a lot was used on the way, there is not much left now, but it is still enough to buy some food.
"Then I'll buy some too."
"I'm also going to buy some, Li Zheng. Could you please help us talk about it? I also want to buy some eggs to replenish my health."
In response to everyone's request, Wang Lizheng nodded and did not refuse. He also hid some money on his body to buy some things to supplement the children.
"No, you are too boring! Why are you hiding all your money!" Wang Dazui didn't have any money on him. When he saw that everyone around him had money, he immediately became unbalanced.
Everyone's life used to be the same, but now there is such a big gap.
"I told you specifically when we were leaving, don't bring too many big things, just hide some small things, but you didn't listen to us. You deserved to be robbed on the road." Someone mocked.
"That's right, you still brought your iron pot with you. How conspicuous it is. If it weren't for you, we would have been robbed!"
"That pot is only worth ten taels of silver. If you don't rob it, who can you rob it from?"
"What do you mean, why are you blaming me! Third aunt, when you went out, you brought an oxcart with you, and Uncle Ninth, your daughter-in-law also had a gold hairpin stuck in her head. There is..." Not to be outdone, Wang Dazui faced off against more than a dozen people, and still did not fall behind, showing full fighting ability.
If Wang Li hadn't been here, he might have taken action.

Looking at the other side, Niu Ergou, holding a bunch of birds in one hand, walked into the house sideways with his two younger sisters in crab steps. He was extremely arrogant.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'm back. Look what I'm bringing you!" Before anyone arrived, the voice had already spread throughout the house.
"My dear, there are so many~" Grandma Chen's eyes almost popped out of her eyes when she looked at the birds that were still jumping around in her grandchildren's hands.
She originally thought that having a dozen or so would be good, but she didn’t expect so many!
This little girl, Caohua, is really nice and generous!
"Your hands are tired, give them to me quickly, and I'll kill a few tonight to satisfy my cravings." There are so many, enough to eat several meals, Grandma Chen was thinking in her mind.
"I only ate a few. It's not enough to fill my teeth. Grandma, just eat them all." Niuergou stopped after hearing this. He, he, he, he wanted to eat meat.
"Eat it all? You don't dare to eat like this even if you are rich. You three have been tired for a long day. I'm the one who made the decision. You can eat two each tonight, okay." Grandma Chen's face was filled with distress. What a good meat.
"Oh, my son is really capable, and so can the eldest Ya and Er Ya!" He Qiuniang came out of the kitchen and was very happy when she saw so many birds. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time and was very greedy.
So he praised his son, and then looked at his two nieces who looked up at him and praised him too.
"Boss and wife, the three of them have two each, you and the boss have one each, the old man and I have one each, and Qin has one, that's all." Grandma Chen counted them one by one with her fingers.
"Okay." He Qiuniang responded loudly, took the bird and entered the kitchen. Da Ya and Er Ya also followed in to help with the work.
"Auntie, what about me?" Niu Shanma, who was locked in the room, couldn't sit still when he heard this. He pressed his face against the door frame and shouted loudly, indicating that he still hadn't received his share.
He's been having a hard time lately.
I could only eat half-full meals three times a day, and there was no fat or meat at all. I was locked up at home and couldn't go anywhere. Even when I went to the latrine, I had to stay in the house and use a wooden bucket.
I eat less and my bowel movements have become less recent. Life is hard!
The meat-eating at home also neglected him. The birds were all meat. He lay at the door and listened to his mother counting for a long time. Every time he thought he would be the next one, he was not. In the end, he didn't even have his name after counting. , couldn't help but scream.
"It's none of your business!" Grandma Chen replied and stopped talking to him, no matter how much he begged.
Heart of stone!
There is no other way. When I think that today's life is all caused by my younger son, my heart can't help but harden.
