happy apocalypse

Chapter 18
At this time, a loud voice rang out outside the courtyard.

A woman in her 50s brought some mountain goods with her hands on her shoulders, followed by a man also in her 50s, pushing a small wheelbarrow full of things.

I didn't like her the first time I saw her.How should I put it, people say that looks come from the heart, this aunt has a sly face, the face shape should be the pig's kidney face mentioned in Zhao Benshan's sketch, the sides of the face are slightly concave inward, highlighting her high cheekbones The bones on both sides of the face drooped slightly due to age.Swollen eyelids, bulging eyes, rolling eyes when seeing people.

Just now she yelled outside the courtyard, and people in the courtyard started whispering.It is said that there is excitement to watch, and the shrew Chen is here and so on.Jiang Zhi and I met our eyes, and we both understood that there might be a little trouble today.

As soon as the aunt came in, she said to the little uncle with a big smile on her face: "Brother Lu, why didn't you tell me about your family's collection of mountain goods? If I hadn't heard about it myself, I would have missed it."

The obvious little uncle didn't want to talk to him, and didn't answer, just puffing on the pipe to himself.

I reckon that if my little uncle knew who told her, he would call his family.It can be seen that the little uncle loves this old lady to the bone.

My aunt couldn't do without talking, so she had no choice but to put down the work in hand, stood up and answered, "Sister-in-law Chen is here too, we don't accept mountain goods, my nephew does."

This Mrs. Chen saw that it was her aunt's words, so she quickly put away the smile on her face, threw the sack in her hand on the ground, ignored her, turned her face to the yard, and looked at the only young man she didn't know. .She said flatteringly, "It's the eldest nephew, you see, as soon as my aunt got the news, she hurriedly brought all the good things from home, without mentioning the quality."

What's going on here, is same-sex repelling, opposite-sex attracting?This is blatant discrimination between men and women.

Before Jiang Zhi could speak, the little uncle said, "We've finished collecting." Then he went back to the house.

The aunt quickly followed suit and said: "Sister-in-law Chen, we have already collected them, so we don't want to accept them anymore. You see, the ones in the courtyard are all freshly collected, and they are old. We have collected enough. If we do it again next time Accept, I will be the first to notify you."

After hearing what my aunt said, Mrs. Chen's face dropped. "What, what a coincidence, as soon as I came to sell the mountain goods, you all collected them."

"That's right, it's such a coincidence." My aunt didn't want to conflict with her at this time, so she laughed along with her.

We can now see that this is because my aunt and uncle don't want to accept her goods. As my aunt and uncle are like people, there must be something wrong with Mrs. Chen, so we didn't say anything.

"Okay, Li Shuju, come with me. Why don't you buy what others have, but you don't accept what's mine. Why don't you divide people into different classes? You're a rich landlord." This sister-in-law Chen came here just for my aunt, but she can really get on the line.

"Sister-in-law Chen, look what you're talking about. Everyone in the village knows who I am. I'm not talking nonsense. We've really finished collecting. If you don't believe me, ask the people present." Auntie really didn't lie , "Today" is really over.

"Don't tell me those useless things, I don't care who you are, but you have collected so many mountain products today, it is impossible to miss my family's. You must collect my family's things. "He raised his head high and added a sentence at the end. "As long as you accept others, you have to accept mine."

I don't know how this Mrs. Chen's head grows, and how her thoughts are so unique.This is not the time when we used to have a big pot of rice. If you have someone else's, you must have your own.Now we are collecting wild goods with our own money. In principle, we should accept whoever we want and whoever we like, and it has nothing to do with her.

But we also thought that we were all from the same village, so we couldn't charge an extra share just because we, outsiders, would wake up.Jiang Zhi went to the side of his aunt and said, "Aunt Chen, you can let us accept it, but we have to check the goods first, and we can only accept them if they are of good quality."

When Mrs. Chen heard Jiang Zhi's words, she first became happy and then froze.I observed her expression, saw the change in her face, and guessed that there might be something wrong with her boobs.

"Isn't everyone's mountain goods the same? You can check them one by one with so many. Don't come to me and find fault." Aunt Chen pointed to the sacks in the yard and said unreasonably.

Jiang Zhi didn't get angry with her either, and said, "Aunt Chen, I'm not targeting you, you can ask everyone present, I opened all the things I received from them."

In fact, we all opened it to see what was there, not to check the quality on purpose, but we can also see that the quality of the mountain products that everyone sells is good.

"Besides, I also collected the mountain goods for others this time. If the quality is not good, they don't want it. I have no place to reason. Aunt Chen, you can't make me lose money, right?" Jiang Zhi told her It has been explained, we are just passing by, and the quality of the goods depends on the receipt.

"Oh, that's fine, don't say it's useless. Hurry up and get the scale done so I can go home early." Seeing that Jiang Zhi didn't get in, she didn't put on a smiley face to get close to him.

After hearing what she said, I couldn't figure out whether I wanted to buy it or she wanted to sell it.

In order to get rid of Mrs. Chen quickly, we quickly started to check the scales.

Mrs. Chen brought a bag by herself first, and opened it for us to see.It's walnuts. Jiang Zhi pulled the top layer with his hands. It looked okay, but some of the green skin on the top hadn't been completely removed. It had to be weighed. We didn't care about this, so we took it away.

Mrs. Chen was very proud when she saw that we accepted it. "Seeing that I say the quality of my things is nothing to say."

When did she say that.

Then I took out the second bag. This time I checked it. I opened it and saw that it was pine nuts. I just grabbed a handful and looked at it. Just about to be weighed, the little uncle came out of the house again and came to pick up the bag. Turned over, stretched his hand in and pulled it up from the bottom. I saw his movements were very strange, but he didn't bother him. When I looked again, I almost fell back out of breath. It's so wicked, the bottom of this bag is full of slag left over from beating pine nuts with pine cones.

My aunt told us next to her that this is the usual trick used by Mrs. Chen to buy mountain goods, and all hawkers who regularly collect mountain goods know that there is such a number one person in Tashan Village.Now she can only deceive the new arrivals.

It seems that they want to deceive us back then.I stared angrily at the middle-aged woman.

When Aunt Chen saw that we had found out, she was embarrassed, and at the end she gave her little uncle a hard look. "This one must have been taken by mistake." He tied the bag, threw it aside, and took a third bag from the wheelbarrow.This time we all checked it carefully, and found no problems at the beginning, but when we smelled it a little closer, there was a musty smell, which could not be eaten if covered.We put her back on the little wheelbarrow again.

Then the other bags that were taken down contained some rice, and Mrs. Chen was so superb that she sold the rice as a mountain product.The little uncle looked at it and said it was old rice.I've taken it, it's excellent.

Mrs. Chen saw that we had finished watching the rice and didn't say anything, so she became anxious and asked while pinching her waist. "What's the matter, the rice is not mixed with anything, and it hasn't been covered."

It seems that in Mrs. Chen's view, as long as things are not mixed with other things, it is good if they are not covered.She may have forgotten that we are collecting mountain goods.

Some of the people present couldn’t stand it. A young man stood up in the crowd and said, “Aunt Chen, you are food, not mountain products. What they collect are mountain products. You are selling it in a wrong way.”

Mrs. Chen immediately yelled at the source of the voice, "You little bastard, you know nothing. The millet grown in our mountains is not a mountain product. Is it grown in the mountains? Is it ours? The people in the mountains raise them, but they are watered by the water in our mountains. Do you see millet that smells like ours outside?"

Mrs. Chen's parallelism is still good.It’s just that there are too many spitting stars in our mouths. For safety, we all took a few steps back secretly to escape the range of being sprayed.Her lethality is too great.

The young man who spoke out just now was scolded for running out of battery, and retreated behind the crowd, but he still muttered softly, "That's also food, not mountain goods."

Others may not be able to hear his muttering, but Jiang Zhi and I can hear it, and we have a good impression of this young man.

The little uncle said: "We collect mountain products, not grain. If we collect grain, everyone will have a granary."

Aunt Chen stopped doing it as soon as she heard it, patted her thigh, and started howling when she sat on the ground, playing a rogue. "Why don't you accept it? Why don't you accept it? Just now the elder nephew said he would accept it if the quality is good. Why don't you accept it now? This is bullying me, an old woman." After saying a word, he slapped his leg vigorously, making a loud slap , she doesn't think it hurts, I feel pain because of her.

This is not over yet, she turned her head and pointed at the man who came behind her and hadn't said a word until now, and cursed: "Chen Dasheng, you are dead, your wife has been bullied like this, you can't live anymore , you can’t even fart, are you still a man? My son, look at you, someone is bullying your mother and me, come back and give me a head.” Cooperatively squeezed out a few tears.

The man didn't make a sound when she said that, and squatted beside the wheelbarrow as if he didn't hear her. I don't think this is the first time he has been scolded in front of so many people.But this is too useless, to be scolded by his wife as not a man in front of so many people, unless he is really not a man, or he should step forward and shave her ears, and give her a good lesson.

I shuddered after hearing Mrs. Chen's words.According to what she said, it means that her son is dead. Is this asking his son to come back to us? For such a small matter, their family is not enough, and they have to be haunted by ghosts.It's really the same as what was said in the sketch, "I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost".

We are here and don't know how to deal with it, and the senior officials from the village are here.
