Chapter 139 Shrew
When Li Taohua woke up, the ox cart in the yard was gone.
She stood under the eaves and stretched lazily.
At this moment, her hair was fluffy and messy, but it did not give people the impression of being unkempt. She just felt that with this messy hair, she had a lazy and charming charm like a cat.
Tang Yixiao came back from outside with a little rabbit in his hand.
"Where did it come from?" Li Taohua asked.
"I went to the outskirts of the mountain to dig up some wild flowers, intending to plant them in the corner of my yard. This one bumped into mine, so I caught it."
Tang Yi said with a smile, and put the rabbit into the chicken coop. He put down the backpack and transplanted the wild flowers and various plants that could be used as seasonings that he had dug from the mountains to the corner of the yard.
Seeing that her two little girls had not gotten up yet, Li Taohua went into the kitchen and made some simple pancakes.
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu woke up to the aroma. The scent and the light outside the window told them they had woken up late. But since it was a rare chance to relax, they decided to be lazy.
The two sisters got up and washed up. They saw the plants in the corner of the yard, then looked at Tang Yixiao who was playing with the little rabbit, and asked about what happened last night.
"Were Uncle Carpenter and Brother Dazhu drunk last night?"
Tang Yi smiled and said, "Although he wasn't drunk, he was almost drunk. He was staggering when he walked. I followed them and watched them lie down before I came back."
"I thought you went to bed early." Tang Luwu was surprised. "Don't you always go to bed early?"
"You guys are all busy, how could I possibly sleep alone? I helped Third Grandpa back home, then came back to wash the dishes before I went to sleep."
"Then you..." Tang Luwu said in a low voice, "Didn't you see it?"
Tang Yi smiled and looked up, blinking his eyes: "I didn't see anything."
Qin Huiyin chuckled: "Little rascal."
Tang Yi curled his lips and smiled: "Next time if there is something fun like this, remember to call me."
"Although you didn't participate, you helped us solve the worries! Look, this room is so clean!" Qin Huiyin touched Tang Yixiao's head, "And these plants are all things I need. My little brother is becoming more and more responsible now, and he is worthy of being the man of our family."
"Please don't touch my head the same way you touch steamed buns." Tang Yi smiled with disgust, but did not avoid Qin Huiyin's palm.
Li Taohua shouted, "Wash your hands and eat."
Today was still a busy day. After breakfast, they would immediately begin their work. However, everyone was doing it more smoothly now, and things were becoming more organized.
Qin Huiyin went to the village chief's house and put the house building project on the agenda. When the village chief's son saw her blueprints, he knew it was a big job and immediately went out to gather craftsmen who had experience in house building.
Qin Huiyin mentioned that she had a lot of things to do at home. Tang Dafu was receiving treatment at a large medical clinic in the city due to a relapse of his leg injury, so the house construction needed to be handed over to Tang Cheng, the son of the village chief.
When Qin Huiyin returned home from the village chief's visit, she saw an old woman sitting on the edge of a field, slapping her legs and crying loudly: "Oh my God, who is this rotten thing with sores all over his body who pulled out all my vegetables? He's trying to kill me, an old woman... So many vegetables were gone overnight, and he's not even afraid that his son won't grow an asshole after eating them. He's so cruel! He's such a rotten-hearted thief! He's going to have a bad ending after eating them..."
"Zhang Lei's mother, why are you crying? It's not your garden." A passing woman, carrying a wooden basin, tried to stir up trouble. "If anyone is going to cry, it should be Mrs. Zhou, right?"
"Zhou Zhaodi... Yes, this matter is inseparable from Zhou Zhaodi." Grandma Zhang got up and ran towards Carpenter Zhang's house with extremely agile posture.
Qin Huiyin walked slowly, greeting the villagers she passed by. When she met villagers who liked to chat or inquire about how much money their family earned, she would patiently stop to deal with them.
When she got home, Grandma Zhang was banging on the door angrily.
Carpenter Zhang and the others had locked the door when they left. Even though it was a thatched hut, you couldn't just walk in. Grandma Zhang couldn't get in, and since no one was home, she pounded on the door in anger.
Li Taohua, Tang Luwu and her brother, Song Tieniu, and Zhang Jieba, the two couples, stood at the door and watched Grandma Zhang go crazy. They didn't try to persuade her, nor did they try to stop her, just watched her lose control.
"Daughter, you're back." Li Taohua waved to Qin Huiyin. "Look at this old woman, she's really stupid."
"Mom, I've already taken care of the house building. Let's continue making the sauce and stop watching the fun." Qin Huiyin pulled Li Taohua inside.
Li Taohua shouted in the direction of Grandma Zhang, "Grandma Zhang, you borrowed that lock from my family. If you break it, I'll ask you to compensate me! It's okay, I'm not trying to dissuade you. You can continue to smash it. If you break it, just compensate me with another one. It's only fifty cents anyway."
Grandma Zhang stopped moving.
She glared angrily in the direction of Li Taohua.
Li Taohua stopped, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Grandma Zhang coldly.
Grandma Zhang was scared.
Li Taohua was a woman renowned for her beauty and her fiery temper. A saying spread throughout the village: "Don't mess with Li Taohua, that thorny flower."
Grandma Zhang left in shame.
Qin Huiyin and others continued to busy themselves with their own affairs.
When Qin Huiyin and others were free, they saw Tang Yixiao coming in with a washed dead rabbit, and their faces were full of surprise.
"I thought you were going to keep it."
"Rabbits have to dig holes, which is too troublesome to raise. It's better to just feed them directly." Tang Yi said with a smile, "Second sister, how do you think we can eat them well?"
"Let's have rabbit hotpot tonight!" Qin Huiyin said, "Brother Tieniu, Brother Sanjin, and my two sisters-in-law, you should stay and eat with us!"
"We don't need it. You paid us wages, how can we take it and eat it at the same time?" Xiang Chuntao refused.
"It turns out that Sister Chuntao is so distant with us! I thought we were so familiar with each other that we could be considered friends, and we could even have dinner together." Qin Huiyin pretended to be disappointed.
"Okay, okay, I'm stupid if I don't eat when there's food to eat." Xiang Chuntao couldn't help her. "Then, little boss sister, can you teach me how to cook? I want to learn some cooking skills from you, too."
Wang Juying echoed, "Yes, you teach us and we'll do it."
Li Taohua picked up the basket and said to Qin Huiyin, "My dear, I'm going to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables. We have to add some vegetables to the hot pot tonight."
Qin Huiyin responded: "Okay, mother."
Tang Luwu wanted to help, but was stopped by Li Taohua: "Go help Yinyin."
Tang Luwu looked at the helpers around Qin Huiyin, then looked at Song Tieniu and Zhang Jieba who were still on standby, and didn't understand what else she could do.
Tang Yixiao counted the chicks in the chicken coop and said to Tang Luwu, "Sister, two chicks are missing."
When Tang Luwu heard this, she immediately rushed over to count them: "How come there are two missing? Did I count wrong?"
