Still going to post three tis today, originally planned only two, but yesterday there was a hiccup with number 73 changing the content, please refresh more and wait, don’t worry, Qidian Website has more and more readers, the backend is working very hard, occasional updates will get funky, no need to rush.
=====
In the morning, as soon as the village office’s loudspeaker announced, every household, be it the elders or children staying at ho, or won still working in the fields, took their prepared baskets and winnowers and headed to the village office.
By then, next to the commune office, on the drying yard, a long wooden rack had been set up, hanging six goats that had just been slaughtered and skinned.
These goats were raised by the production team, which produces a good number of baby goats every year. Apart from those handed over, each household gets to share so of the at each year. As Grandpa Li was off to the neighboring village to see Xue Baii and hadn’t returned, Li Xianglu ca with her basket, hoping to get so leg at for the evening pot at ho.
The old man had a green kerosene stove, which was very convenient. There’s a small pot on it, eating from the pot is simply the best, too bad there’s no tofu, otherwise it would have been so delicious.
No tofu, but there were so homade bean sprouts at ho. As long as there was goat at, anything could be managed.
The one at the front of the line was Li Jianqing, holding a small porcelain basin, waiting. When it was his turn, the accountant distributing the at frowned and said, "Jianqing, your Mom took away the at for two households, didn’t you know?"
What, Li Jianqing frowned, if this was true, then he wouldn’t be able to get any at today.
Sowhat upset, he stepped back. Actually, just earlier he had spoken to his Daddy in the field, ntioning that his sister had invited him over for at. Feeling embarrassed, Daddy told him to take their household’s at directly to his sister’s house. Bringing a packed al, no one would have said a word, and he himself would have felt better.
Just when he was starting to feel happy, the at was taken by his Mom. Li Jianqing felt an emptiness inside, it wasn’t about the at, but rather that he couldn’t go to his sister’s house openly and honorably.
At this mont, Li Xianglu, who had just arrived and was standing at the back, frowned. What on earth was Ge Sani trying to do?
Just then, Li Erfu arrived striding over from below the mountain ridge, took the basin from his son’s hand and said, "My family’s two kilos of at."
The accountant for the team was Li Sanwang, who was imdiately perplexed upon hearing this, "Wasn’t it already taken?"
Li Erfu frowned, "Who took it? Both my son and I are here, and neither of us have taken the at ho, how can you wrongly accuse soone like this."
Li Sanwang beca anxious upon hearing this, "What are you talking about, Ge Sani took the at. All the at for your two households was taken away, and you still refuse to acknowledge it?"
Li Erfu sneered, "Uncle Sanwang, what are you saying? Ge Sani and I are divorced, everyone in the team knows that. How could she take my family’s at? I need an explanation for this."
Li Sanwang was dumbfounded upon hearing the news and imdiately found soone, saying, "Go and call Ge Sani here."
At that ti, Ge Sani was in the kitchen dividing at. Hearing her na called, she went out. The person didn’t say anything but conveyed that Uncle Sanwang was calling for her.
Ge Sani, fearful that An Cuicui would sneakily eat the at due to her greed, locked the door and then followed.
It was only when she reached the drying yard behind the brigade that she saw the group of people encircling soone. Approaching, Ge Sani saw Li Erfu with a grim expression, which instantly made her face turn sour.
When Li Sanwang saw her arrive, he imdiately said, "Ge Sani, hand over the at you took. It belongs to Li Erfu’s family. You two are divorced now, why would you take his at? Now he has co to demanding it back."
Upon hearing this, Ge Sani spat toward Li Erfu, "Ptui! Sha on you, Li Erfu, you ungrateful beast, demanding at from ! Why don’t you look in the mirror and see if you even deserve to eat at?!"
Seeing Ge Sani acting like a mad woman, Li Erfu did not bother to argue and directly said to Li Sanwang, "Uncle Sanwang, I don’t care who took my at, I’m asking you for it now. I haven’t received any at from you today, which ans I didn’t get any. Whoever you gave it to, it doesn’t matter to ."
After he finished talking, he stood there stiffly, unbothered by how anxious Li Sanwang or how Ge Sani was gnashing her teeth.
Li Xianglu, watching from behind, frowned deeply. What kind of logic is this? Arguing about who deserves the at just because of a divorce?
At this mont, Li Sanwang suddenly beca anxious. However, deep down he realized he was the one at fault, not part of one household, what right did he have to distribute other’s at to soone else? Ge Sani ca early, intending to take at for both families, causing him to hesitate. In a village household, which family doesn’t fight or argue? He thought Ge Sani was trying to reconcile with Li Erfu, but he hadn’t expected the situation would turn out so badly.
Li Sanwang then said to the incessantly complaining Ge Sani, "Hey hey, stop making noise. Ge Sani, can’t you keep a civil tongue in your head?" He harshly continued, "Hand over the at now, or I’ll deduct it from your grain share at the end of the year. I’ll deduct with interest too, don’t say I didn’t warn you!"
Upon hearing this, Ge Sani was stunned for a mont, then sat on the ground and started wailing, "Oh God, Lord in Heaven, look at what this bastard is doing, he doesn’t want us to live, folks, look at this heartbreaker, this lightening-struck beast, he’s forcing us to death!"
The crowd around couldn’t help but laugh. A woman with triangular eyes jokingly said, "Sister Ge, what are you saying? You sound like you’re in a play, acting as if you’ve lost a husband when he’s right here alive and well." Everyone burst into laughter.
Hearing the mockery, Ge Sani angrily got up from the ground, dusted herself off, and headed back without paying any attention to Li Sanwang, who was shouting himself hoarse.
Li Sanwang watched the departing Ge Sani and turned to Li Erfu, "Er Fu, look at the ss this has created. Ge Sani is indeed problematic. It seems the at won’t be returned now, what do you suggest we do?"
Li Erfu coldly replied, "Uncle Sanwang, I’m letting this slide today for your sake. But if next ti you even think of giving my share of grain to soone else, I’m moving in and eating at your house!" He then walked away, pulling Li Jianqing with him.
Li Sanwang slapped his forehead, furious about...
