They had already reached the door of Wu's house, and she guessed what was going on from the man's words.
The man was Zhao Guoqing, the accountant of Xigouzitun in Huabei Township. He came to Wu's house to tell Wu Jiangshan that he would help his brother adopt Shitou. Later, Shitou was seriously injured and Wu Jiangshan and his wife passed away one after another. There was no news there.
He was also weird about picking the right time. When the stone was injured, no one was seen. He made sure that the person was healed and there were no sequelae, and then he rushed over. He really wanted to take advantage of it.
Zhao Guoqing came to Wu's house today. Wu Fangfang said that Shitou was not at home and would wait until Shitou came back, so he kept waiting at the entrance of the village.
When the person arrives, Wu Fangfang can take the stone away with just a word from Wu Fangfang.
Shitou stood in the yard looking at Wu Fangfang who was sitting at the door picking beans, waiting for her to speak.
Wu Fangfang didn't look at him. She picked out a bean that was mostly eaten by insects and turned black, and put it into the broken bowl. Just do what you say."
Zhao Guoqing walked over with a smile, put a small cloth bag into the large basin of beans, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, we will take good care of the stones in the future."
Wu Fangfang picked up the cloth bag, opened it, looked at it briefly, wrapped it again and stuffed it into her pocket.
"Shitou, come in, I'll help you pack your things." Wu Fangfang stood up and said to Shitou.
Zhao Guoqing didn't want to waste a minute, so he stopped him and said, "Hey, don't bother me. I've prepared whatever you need over there. I won't bring anything here."
No one listened to him at all.
Shitou entered the house, and Wu Fangfang closed the door, leaving only Zhao Guoqing standing in the yard facing her with an embarrassed smile.
"Little girl, whose family do you belong to?" Zhao Guoqing was speechless.
I don't want to pay attention to him at all, I just want to know if Shitou is willing to go.
There are advantages to going, and there are advantages to staying. No matter which way you choose, there is nothing wrong.
The key is, are there any choices for stones?
He was just a seven-year-old child, and everything had to be arranged by others. No one asked him for his opinion, and no one wanted to know what he thought.
After a while the stone came out with nothing in his hand.
"That's right, you didn't take anything! Come on, good boy, come to my house. We have everything at home." Zhao Guoqing tried to hold Shitou's hand, but Shitou avoided it.
Shitou walked up to her and whispered: "I don't want to go..."
As soon as the word "go" floated into his ears, Shitou grinned and cried "Wow".
It was such a howl that it made her ears hurt.
While crying, he yelled: "Sister, please don't sell me out. I will obey your words from now on. I will do whatever you ask me to do. Please don't sell me out..."
Zhao Guoqing was confused, and Wu Fangfang was even more confused.
No one expected him to come here.
Zhao Guoqing came over and covered Shitou's mouth. Shitou whined and was speechless. Seeing that the plan was about to fail, she screamed, which shocked Zhao Guoqing and Wu Fangfang.
"Help, kill someone, someone wants to kill the stone!"
Running around the yard and shouting, Zhao Guoqing had to let go of Shitou's mouth if he wanted to chase her. Anyway, there was always someone who could call the villagers over.
After a while, the area around Wu's courtyard was crowded with people. It seemed that it was the off-farm season and they all came out to watch the excitement.
Chang Chunsheng and his brothers also came, not knowing what was going on, but they protected her behind them.
She poked her head out from behind Chang Chunsheng and said to Cao Xingwang, who had just arrived: "Wu Fangfang wants to sell the stone to the bad guys, and the bad guys want to kill the stone."
Zhao Guoqing quickly explained that there was no such thing as killing, and there was no such thing as buying and selling. It was about receiving and taking care of people, and it had nothing to do with money at all.
It really doesn’t matter, if it does it’s illegal! Others don't have this legal awareness, so Zhao Guoqing will not be without it. After all, he is the accountant of Yitun.
Before he could finish his explanation, Shitou rushed to Wu Fangfang like a small steel cannon, took out a small cloth bag from her pocket, shook his little hand and scattered money of different denominations on the floor.
"You've already paid for it and it's not a purchase, so why is it a purchase?" She stuck her head out and shouted again.
Chang Chunsheng pressed her head helplessly and said in a normal voice: "What are you messing around with? Who can't see what you can see even as a child, so you think others are stupid?"
Hey, no one can play dumb now!
If you're stupid, you can't pretend to be crazy.
Wu Fangfang covered her face and started sobbing. While crying, she spoke clearly: "Shitou has been lying on the kang for several months and I have been taking care of him. I am sincerely good to him... I am not even twenty years old." How can the girl support him even though she is struggling to survive? If there is a better place to go to, I would be willing to send him there even if I don’t have the money. I am doing this for the sake of the stone..."
clever!
First put on a good person's skin, everyone said she would be suspected of standing and talking without back pain.
Zhao Guoqing is also a human spirit, and in a short period of time, he also took on human skin.
"Hey, it's all for the sake of the children! I thought I could live a better life if I put the stone in my place. I didn't give Fangfang money to buy anyone. I just thought it was not easy for her to be a girl. With money in hand, life would be easier... .Look at what’s going on..."
He was quite helpless when he failed to become a "good guy". The acting was really good.
Everyone had their own reasons, and the quarrel gave Cao Xingwang a headache.
When the time came, she pulled Chang Chunsheng's hand away and stuck her head out.
"Our boss, Sankeliu, can't support a child in our village. Do we have to send him away?" She asked in a loud voice, pretending to be innocent.
Who to ask?
Ask everyone present, the most important thing is to ask Cao Xingwang.
Cao Xingwang seemed to have been hit with a sap, and his blood surged up to the sky.
He is the village director. If he doesn't accept this, it means he is incompetent and has failed to take care of Sankeliu...
"It's all the village director's fault that things have turned out like this. I didn't take into account the difficulties of a girl named Fangfang. No matter what, Shitou follows his mother and marries to our village. He is a member of our village. We can't let him go just because he left." Regardless of the stone... I don’t know how to deal with it in a few words. Let’s do this. Later, I will have a meeting with a few cadres in the village to discuss it and come up with a decent charter. What do you think?”
Of course everyone agreed.
Zhao Guoqing picked up the money and left, and the onlookers dispersed. She and Chang Chunsheng stayed until the end to watch Shitou follow Cao Xingwang and Wu Fangfang into the house before leaving.
When he got home, Mo Lan had already learned what had happened from Chang Wenxi and others who had come back first. He waved her to the kang, then touched her braid and sighed: "You kid... you are so good today." If you offend someone, don't go to Wu's house in the future, and stay away from Wu Fangfang."
"I know... I'm actually a little afraid of her. She looks so weak and she always feels like she could stab someone at any time. It's scary." She said truthfully.
"Who dares to cheat on you? Who dares to cheat on you? Who should I cheat on?" Chang Wen, who had listened to half of the words, shouted defensively.
Everyone in the room was amused by him, even Xiao Wenmo in the stroller chuckled.
Before the laughter stopped, a sound that was familiar but should never appear here at this moment suddenly came from outside.
