Rebirth Seven Zeros

Chapter 5 tit for tat
"Oh, is there any dried meat and tofu?" Lin Minrou glanced around the shop and asked.

"No." The fat woman grabbed a handful of peanuts from the bag beside her and chewed them in her mouth without looking at the two of them.

Lin Minrou didn't say anything, and pulled Ning Peiling out: "Eldest sister, I know what to do now!"

"Ah, what?" Ning Peiling was at a loss, with a dazed expression on her face.

Why, after wandering around the supply and marketing cooperative, the third daughter-in-law had an idea, and she couldn't keep up with her rhythm and thinking at all.

Lin Minrou smiled, and took her to the butcher's shop to cut three catties of pork, then went to buy some seasonings, and then took her home.

Ning Peiling looked at the pork and said distressedly: "It's not the New Year or the festival, what kind of pork do you eat?"

"Big sister, do you just say you support me?" Lin Minrou already had an idea in her mind.

"I definitely support you, but what exactly do you want to do?" Ning Peiling was curious and worried, her heart tickling like a cat.

Only then did Lin Minrou tell Ning Peiling her plan.

"What, you said to make spicy jerky?" Ning Peiling was taken aback again, shaking her head and said: "If someone wants to eat meat, they can cut two catties, so why do they eat spicy jerky?"

"That's because you haven't eaten it. I guarantee that you will want to eat it after eating it. In addition, it is air-dried and can be preserved. It is good for treating guests, giving it away, as a snack, or as a snack!"
Eldest sister, what are you afraid of? It's just three catties of pork and some big ingredients. Is there anything you can't afford to pay? Lin Minrou raised the corner of her mouth and laughed.

Seeing what she said, Ning Peiling gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

"By the way, elder sister, you have to go back with me. Otherwise, my mother will definitely not allow me to do it. With you around, I can do things easier!"

Ning Peiling smiled and said: "I know you have this concern, and I will leave after Bao Dan and Er Yatou come back from herding cattle!"

"Hey, thank you, big sister!" Lin Minrou said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, it's all a family! You sit down, I'll cook, and I'll go back after dinner!"

"Okay, I'll help!"

Miao Fengju was in a terrible mood today, she kept putting on a face all day long.

Walking back from the field in the evening, she carried the shovel by herself without saying a word, just walked with her head depressed.

"I said what's wrong with you, are you so unbalanced if the third daughter-in-law doesn't come to the field?" Ning Shoude caught up and asked.

Miao Fengju threw the shovel on the ground, stared and said, "What do you mean I'm unbalanced? Look at the married women in the village, which one doesn't work in the fields?
Fortunately for her, she won't do the work in the field for a day, and she has to go to the town to spend money!Is this money so easy to spend?
I don't think this third daughter-in-law is a fuel-efficient lamp at all. From now on, you can wait to serve her like your ancestors! "

"Look at how sour you are, maybe you have to go to the town to buy something that is defective, why did this cause so many troubles?

Don't worry, if she acts like this every day, I will definitely blame her!Don't always hold on to her. She just came here, and the family affairs are still unclear. It will be fine after a long time.

As a mother-in-law, you should be more generous. Young people, it’s not a big deal if you don’t think about things. It will get better in the future! "

Ning Shoude picked up the shovel on the ground and held it against his shoulder, and said: "Don't make a fool of yourself when you get home in a while, the atmosphere at home is finally better, don't make everyone awkward again!"

When the two returned home, it was already dark, and Zheng Guiling was sitting under the eaves boiling water, Miao Fengju looked around the room and asked, "Where is the third daughter-in-law?"

"I didn't see her, didn't she go to the field with her parents?" Zheng Guiling asked doubtfully.

Miao Fengju snorted, and went back to her room with a calm face without saying a word.

Zheng Guiling looked at her father-in-law's expression again, feeling something was wrong, threw two handfuls of firewood into the pot, and followed her into her mother-in-law's room.

"Mom, what's wrong with you, the third daughter-in-law didn't follow you to the field today?" Zheng Guiling sat down next to Miao Fengju and asked pretending to be concerned.

Miao Fengju was so worried that she had nothing to say, and Ning Shoude was a peacemaker, which made her very angry.

As soon as Zheng Guiling asked, her chatterbox immediately opened up, pouring out all her dissatisfaction with Lin Minrou like pouring beans.

"Tell me, your dad and I both went to work in the fields, but she was fine, and went to the town to see! You don't have to spend money in the town? Once you enter the house, you don't know how to work, but you know how to spend money, and you don't know her dad How did Mom teach her!" Miao Fengju took her anger out on her in-laws.

Seeing what she said, Zheng Guiling not only didn't persuade her, but instead added fuel and vinegar: "Isn't that right, you and Dad also kindly saw that she couldn't manage the crops by herself, but she was fine, so she just let you two grow the land, she It’s good to sit at home and enjoy the ready-made!”

Speaking of this, she lowered her voice and said: "Mom, I think this third daughter-in-law has a lot of things in mind. She probably has already decided on the land on Xiling. Anyway, she doesn't have to work with you and Dad. Giving up the land to us can still be a relationship! This third daughter-in-law is too fine!"

Miao Fengju snorted, with a sneer on her wrinkled face: "She is still young, and she wants to eat and drink with us for free, it is impossible! If she doesn't go to work in the field in the future, there will be no rations for her at home. Where to eat!"

Zheng Guiling couldn't help being happy when she saw that her goal was achieved, but she couldn't pretend to be too obvious.

He said again: "Mom, the third daughter-in-law is still young and ignorant. I think I'd better talk to her about how much effort she will save as you are still helping to plant the land in the backyard!"

"Hmph, why should I help her? That's her business. I don't care what she wants to do in the future!" Miao Fengju was furious, her chest rising and falling, showing how angry she was.

Ning Shoude squatted outside and heard it clearly, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. This second daughter-in-law is a shit-stirring stick, and she can't see the family well.

He knocked his cigarette bag heavily on the bench a few times, and there was no talking in the room.

After a while, Zheng Guiling came out of the house and called out embarrassingly: "Dad." She went to boil water under the eaves again.

At this moment, Lin Minrou and Ning Peiling came in with their two children.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!" Lin Minrou's voice was clear and crisp.

Ning Shoude didn't speak, stood up tremblingly and entered the room.

Lin Minrou felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so she went to see Zheng Guiling, puzzled and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong at home?"

Although Zheng Guiling was boiling water, her eyes were darting around, seeing everything clearly.

Seeing that Lin Minrou was holding the meat and ingredients in his hand, she said in a sharp voice, "Hey, this town is not in vain, isn't the meat expensive? You just had a feast and you're hungry again?"

Ning Peiling saw that she was talking in a strange way, so she gave her an annoyed look: "Is it up to you to spend other people's money and eat other people's meat? Who are you going to listen to when you talk in a strange way!"

Zheng Guiling pursed her lips and said without showing any weakness: "The eldest sister is protecting the third daughter-in-law. She is very capable, so she bought you so quickly? Speak for her like this!

Which family's daughter-in-law is like her, she knows how to spend money when she doesn't work, and she doesn't know what she is doing when she gets married! "

Although Bao Dan and Er Yatou were young, they also sensed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the house, so they kept hiding behind Lin Minrou.

Lin Minrou handed the meat and ingredients to the second girl, and said in a low voice, "Take brother to aunt's room. There are some snacks on the table, you can eat them!"

Then the second girl led Bao Dan away.

Lin Minrou looked at her with a stern expression: "Second sister-in-law, I am not afraid of the shadow slanting, if you have anything to say, just say it, there is no need to point and scold Huai like this!"

"Hey, you really deserve to be a student who has studied for a few years, and you still talk in the same way! You bully me for being uneducated, right? Well, I'm not afraid of you! Let me ask you, this morning Mom asked you to go In the field, why don't you go?" Zheng Guiling put her hands on her hips, looking like a shrew calling the street.

"Mom didn't say anything. Naturally, there is business in my town, so I don't need to report it to you, right?" Lin Minrou's tone was a bit stiff.

Zheng Guiling snorted twice, full of sarcasm: "Lin Minrou, you really don't know what to do! Damn you didn't even eat dinner, and you still say such things, how can you be at ease!"

"All right, all right, you can talk!" Ning Peiling interrupted her angrily, and pulled Lin Minrou away, "Don't pay attention to her, she's just like that!"

"Hey, did I say something wrong? If you have the ability, don't leave!" Zheng Guiling stomped her feet angrily, seeing the two of them entered the in-laws' room, she was afraid that Ning Shoude would tell her, so she didn't dare to follow in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Miao Fengju lying crookedly on the kang, and Ning Shoude sitting on a small bench on the ground.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Lin Minrou shouted.

"Sit down!" Ning Shoude's expression turned a little pale.

Miao Fengju was lying there without moving, her shoulders were heaving, it seemed that she was really angry.

Ning Peiling pressed Lin Minrou to sit on the chair beside her, then sat on the edge of the kang, pushed Miao Fengju and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't touch me!" Miao Fengju tilted her shoulders and ignored her.

She heard clearly what they said outside just now, seeing her daughter standing by Lin Minrou's side, she didn't even bother to pay attention to her.

"Mom, don't listen to the second daughter-in-law. You don't know who she is usually? The third daughter-in-law really has a business to go to town, and I went with her! Don't you trust your daughter?" Ning Peiling smiled while shaking her.

Miao Fengju suddenly sat up and said: "What are you doing? Doing business, buying meat? What business is it!
Your dad and I face the loess all day long, just to let you brothers and sisters live a good life, not to let you stop working and waste food for nothing! "

As she spoke, she thought of the days at home again, and couldn't help but feel sad, "In the past, our family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat, so we got where we are today because of the hard work of the whole family.

If someone thinks about not working for free, that is absolutely impossible!Peiling, look at your earthen house, it's about to collapse, and you don't know how to work hard to earn some money, so why run around like that! "

As she spoke, she patted Ning Peiling's hand with hatred.
