Chapter 158: Being a ‘pig’ for a time
There are also some people who don’t believe in evil. If bamboo shoots are really so unpalatable, Xia Chan’s family won’t eat them all the time. So some people try new things, and then they break off the bamboo shoots and go home. After doing some research, they find out: It tasted just as unpalatable as before, so I threw it away.
Later, I realized that the five Xia Chan brothers and sisters had raised two pigs this year. The bamboo shoots they broke off were probably for the pigs to eat. The faces of those who reacted suddenly became a little embarrassed. They actually secretly became pigs.
But Xia Chan was immediately blamed, all because Xia Chan didn't explain clearly.
Xia Chan returned home, rested for a while, and then began to peel bamboo shoots. Before peeling a few bamboo shoots, she heard the sound of pushing the door open. She saw Xia Bin coming back covered in mud, and behind him was another man who was also covered in mud. The girl is back.
But Xia Bin used a bamboo pole to pull the girl, and there was no contact between the two.
Seeing this scene, Xia Chan had an evil smile on her face. None of her brothers had been close to any girls, so was there something wrong with her brother?
Is she going to have a sister-in-law?
"Brother, what's wrong?" Xia Chan stood up and walked over and asked.
"This comrade got stuck in the mud of the swamp. I happened to go over there to have something to do, so I saw her and pulled her up with a bamboo pole. She can't go back like this now. You boil some water and wash her. Take a shower and change your clothes." Xia Bin said.
"Okay!" Thinking that this girl might become her sister-in-law in the future, Xia Chan readily agreed. She moved a chair for the girl to sit in the yard and bask in the sun, and then poured her a cup of hot tea.
There was nothing in the tea, because it was the first time I met someone and I didn’t know him well. What if he was a bad person?
Then Xia Chan put all the good things at home into the space, and then took a pair of old clothes she wore in the past two years from the box. Then she went to the kitchen to boil water. Seeing Xia Bin coming, Xia Chan asked worriedly , "Brother, you didn't have any physical contact with her, right?"
"No." Xia Bin shook his head. He was a rural boy and was familiar with rural routines. If he held the girl's hand, maybe the girl's parents would force him to marry the girl.
Although he doesn't have a wife, it doesn't mean that he will just marry one.
Xia Chan nodded with satisfaction, and then whispered, "We don't know her yet, and we don't know if she will say anything nonsense when she goes down the mountain. You'd better go down and tell Aunt Lin. Aunt Lin has the final say. She is the one who makes the decision." No one will believe it if you say it nonsense.”
Xia Bin nodded.
Then Xia Chan said loudly, "Brother, don't worry and break the bamboo shoots. I will take good care of this girl."
Xia Bin took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the backpack and strode out directly.
The girl covered in mud yelled "Hey, hey" twice, but Xia Bin didn't even look back and walked quickly, as if she didn't hear him.
Xia Chan poked her head out of the kitchen and saw the girl rolling her eyes. Her heart sank. This girl might not be good at it, so she said, "Sister, I'm sorry. Our family is relatively poor and we don't have much to eat, so we can only eat." Bamboo shoots, don’t worry, my brother is not at home, I will take good care of you.”
After hearing Xia Chan's words, Lu Lixia turned her head and rolled her eyes where Xia Chan couldn't see her. She didn't expect that this family was so poor, but they turned out to be miserable bamboo shoots.
Lu Lixia thought that Xia Chan couldn't see her, but Xia Chan saw the corner of her sneer. Seeing that this girl was a little worse than she thought, she couldn't let her know about her life at home. So Xia Chan got up and put all the vegetables, bacon and other things in the kitchen into the space, even the condiments, leaving only a little salt outside.
Xia Chan has always known that her five brothers and sisters occupy such a large place halfway up the mountain, and there are four stone houses. This place alone is quite enviable, but it was Xia Chan's parents who let Xia Chan in the village back then. If you find a place to build a house by yourself, and when you go through the formalities and issue the certificate, it will be registered in the child's name.
So now no one is qualified to ask them to give up their place on the grounds of 'parents' death'.
Do those girls who are not favored at home and suffer oppression and exploitation really not want to marry into Xia Chan's family, own an independent house, and be the masters of their own family?
Of course they do, but it’s just that the family would not allow them to marry into such a poor Xia Chan family!
If her brothers really marry a girl from such a family, Xia Chan will keep her distance from her brothers and will no longer be so unreserved towards her brothers, because she will not raise those people who are all scheming.
After all the things were packed and the house became impoverished again, Xia Chan felt relieved.
Lu Lixia, while Xia Chan was heating hot water, quietly looked at the yard of Xia Chan's house. The stone house was not big, but at least it had its own house, and there were many vegetables growing on the vegetable plot in the yard. fine.
Although I heard that their family owed a lot of debts, there was no rule that Xia Bin had to repay these debts. If she married Xia Bin, she could coax Xia Bin and give Xia Bin the favor. If Cicada is kicked out and then the debt is transferred to Xia Chan, then Xia Bin will have no debt. From now on, the money shared by the village and the rabbit's money will all belong to her.
There are dozens of people in a year, right?
The most important thing is that the four boys in Xia Bin's family are all good at earning work points. If she gets married, she won't have to work hard in the future. When there is still money at the end of the year, Xia Bin can divide it among the younger brothers. If you take the money, it's all hers.
I feel happy just thinking about it.
After Xia Chan boiled the hot water, she brought an unused wooden basin and put it directly in the kitchen. Then she took the old clothes and put them aside. "Sister, the bath water has been boiled. Come and take a bath! I'll pick up the bamboo shoots. We’ll have fried bamboo shoots for lunch.”
Lu Lixia stood up and walked over. When she passed by Xia Chan, Xia Chan's eyes widened in surprise. She said why this girl looked familiar. She turned out to be an educated youth, one of the last batch of educated youth who came last year.
After Lu Lixia took a bath, she threw her dirty clothes into the tub and came out of the kitchen. She arrogantly said to Xia Chan, "Wash my clothes later."
< br>
Since she knew that this person was not very good, Xia Chan was naturally not polite, "What is it? I kindly boiled water for you to take a bath and brought you some clothes, but you actually summoned someone to come. Are you the eldest daughter of a capitalist?" ? Do you want me to go to the team to respond?”
So Xia Chan picked up the wooden basin with difficulty and poured the bath water and clothes directly into the open space outside the courtyard gate.
At this time, Xia Bin also brought several aunts up. Seeing this, Xia Bin asked worriedly, "Xiaochan, what's wrong?"
