Chapter 265 Psychosis
Wang Fuwen made a fuss at the door for a while, but when he saw that his elder brother really didn't care, he went home in shame.
"Old man, I've thought about it. Didn't Old Zhou's family just build a few new houses? Let's go and ask if they can let us live there. Even if his family is big, they can't live in so many houses. We are all neighbors in the same village. We see each other every day. And Dahai lives next door to him. She shouldn't refuse us."
Lai Zi's mother's idea sounded good, and Wang Fuwen was delighted after hearing it.
"Okay, let's go ask her. I heard that her food is better than the tavern in town."
After making up their minds, the two men moved towards the end of the village, one in front and one behind.
Old Mrs. Zhou was having dinner with her children when they heard someone knocking on the door.
"You guys eat, I'll go take a look."
Old Mrs. Zhou was going to get another bowl of hot soup and happened to open the door on the way.
"Eh? Mr. and Mrs. Fu Wen, why are you here so late?"
As soon as Mrs. Zhou opened the door, two unexpected faces appeared in front of her.
Thinking about what happened during the day, she thought that the couple wanted to use the wall of her house to climb into Dahai's yard, but the two families did not need the same wall, so this idea was probably wrong.
"Sister-in-law, my husband and I came here to stay. My house collapsed due to the heavy snow last night. We really have nowhere to go. Otherwise, we would have frozen to death tonight. You are eating right now. What a coincidence that we haven't eaten yet..."
As soon as Mrs. Zhou heard them, she knew what they meant. They came to "borrow a place to stay" and "borrow a meal" again!
I didn't expect the couple to be so shameless. Even a three-year-old child could tell what they were planning.
"Oh, I see. Go find someone else."
Old Mrs. Zhou had left the door a crack, and when she realized what they meant, she quickly bolted the door.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please don't close the door. We are serious. The house has really collapsed and we have no place to sleep..."
Wang Fuwen and his wife knocked on the door, still explaining, hoping that Mrs. Zhou would accept them.
Old Mrs. Zhou sighed and walked towards the kitchen step by step.
It's late at night, how could she encounter such a disgusting thing? It's really infuriating.
They ask for a place to stay if they want a place to stay, and they ask for a meal if they want a meal. But you just say it as if you owe them something. There is no courtesy at all.
They deserved to be frozen to death tonight. They have sons who don't care about them, and brothers who don't pay attention to them, yet they actually came to find this outsider family.
Do you think that this old woman is easy to bully?
Not to mention that there is no vacant room at home, even if there was, we wouldn’t let them stay there.
Love me wherever you want.
"Mom, who is outside?" Boss Zhou asked when he saw Old Lady Zhou come back.
"Laizi's wife, both of them are crazy, don't pay attention to them, just eat your meal."
After being rejected again, Wang Fuwen and his wife returned to their woodshed dejectedly.
I tidied up the straw nest, spread a mattress on it, and lit a brazier next to it. This was the only way I could sleep.
The cold wind squeezed in through the broken windows and door cracks, making the two of them shiver.
……
The New Year is just around the corner, but the mountain road is covered with snow. Even if we clear this section of the road, there is still a long way to go.
Those families who have not prepared New Year’s goods are getting anxious.
There was no meat or salt, and it was impossible to get out of the snow mountain with only the strength of one or two people.
"Village chief, what do you think we should do? It's New Year's Day and we can't even eat meat."
That’s right, it’s not just the children in the village who are looking forward to the New Year. Everyone who can breathe is looking forward to it!
Wang Fugui frowned and was also anxious.
But what to do?
Go to the mountains to fight? That's too dangerous!
"Don't worry, my family has pigs. I'll kill one and give you two more dishes."
When Boss Zhou spoke, the men around him were shocked.
"Shouren, this is great. A pig weighs several hundred kilograms. Now every household can eat it."
"Yes, our village is so small that there will be a lot left after going through every household. Shouren, isn't this business of yours too unprofitable?"
Everyone raises livestock to sell for money. Once the Zhou family kills the pig, they won't make much money and may even lose money.
"Don't worry about it. The weather is so cold now, and it won't go bad if you don't finish it. When we kill the pigs, you can buy as much as you can. We will keep the rest for ourselves."
After saying these words, Boss Zhou put his hands together and went home.
I don’t know if he will be scolded for making this decision on his own.
"Mom, let's kill a pig. Villagers can't leave the village during the New Year, and it would be a shame if there is no meat at home..."
"Kill them if you want. Isn't it for this moment that I bought the piglets to raise?"
Old Mrs. Zhou was busy with her work and was not very surprised by her son's idea.
She had thought of this a long time ago, as almost all the ducks from every household had been collected by her family.
I have to keep the chickens at home to lay eggs and I can’t bear to kill them.
The heavy snow blocked the mountain and we couldn’t go out, so we had to have some meat when making dumplings for the New Year.
She is the only family raising pigs in the village. If they don’t start now, when will they?
"That's great, I'll go out and clean it up now."
When Boss Zhou heard this, he was very happy and went out to find someone to help him slaughter the pig tomorrow.
The children next to them were also happy. The meat in the house had run out two days ago. If there weren’t some cured meat, cured fish and the like in the house, they would have been greedy.
"Grandma, our pigs are so fat, can we sell them all?"
The piglets at home are well taken care of. They are tall and strong and eat a lot. They must weigh at least 300 kilograms.
"It's hard to say. There are not many people in our village, and even fewer people can afford to buy meat. Some people are willing to carry two kilograms, and some are willing to carry five or six kilograms. Even if we can't sell it all, we can keep it for ourselves."
Old Mrs. Zhou thought about it and smiled happily. The children in the family loved to eat meat. Not to mention any leftovers, even a whole head could be eaten by the children in the family.
"Hahaha, grandma, what you said is true, but since we have to rush them to buy it, the good meat will definitely be bought by them."
Zhou Mingshu thought that by then the remaining meat would just be some leftovers and scraps.
"It's okay. When the time comes, just ask your uncle to keep whatever piece you want to eat. We can buy meat at home and still satisfy you little brats."
Old Mrs. Zhou laughed, thinking she didn't know what this girl was thinking.
Not long after, several uncles came to the house with butcher knives and iron hooks in baskets. It seemed that everything was almost ready.
After greeting Old Mrs. Zhou, a few people took the whetstone and started removing the rust.
Zhou Mingshu brought some hot water for the uncles to use.
In addition to these, Liu and Zhu also brought in a large table and washed it with clean water so that they could cut the meat tomorrow.
Two people were digging a hole and planting pillars so that they could hang the pig up when the time came.
When Zhou Mingshu came to the backyard carrying feed, he saw Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua lying in front of the pigpen and chattering.
