Chapter 17 Aunt Niu’s Maintenance

There were some exaggerated elements in it, which made Shen Shujia marvel.

Sure enough, the power of gossip is powerful!

In addition, Shen Shujia said "hmm" from time to time, and occasionally nodded in response to Aunt Niu.

When Aunt Niu received the response, she felt as if she had met a close friend. She wanted to tell Shen Shujia all the gossip she had known throughout her life.

After hearing this, Shen Shujia understood almost everything.

It turned out that Song Ningyue hurriedly came out of the educated youth center after dark last night, not knowing what happened.

I don't know who was unscrupulous, but he got three buckets of dung water and put them on the road. However, Song Ningyue didn't see it, tripped over the dung buckets, and fell to the ground.

At the same time, she also kicked down the excrement bucket, causing excrement to flow all over the floor. Song Ningyue accidentally fell into the excrement water.

The foul smell wafted from her body, and Song Ningyue screamed in anger, which aroused the curiosity of the villagers who were still sleeping next to her, and they all ran out of their homes to watch the fun.

Then I saw Song Ningyue covered in feces.

The smell was so pungent and disgusting that several villagers vomited on the spot.

Song Ningyue was so angry that her heart ached, she felt that the villagers had seen her, and she felt even more humiliated.

She was ashamed and annoyed, so she quickly turned around and ran back to the educated youth center. As a result, screams of "ahhhhh" came from the educated youth center.

After listening to what Aunt Niu said, Shen Shujia couldn't help but smile.

As a result, Aunt Niu talked even more energetically, and as she spoke, she strayed to someone else.

After Aunt Niu gossiped about two or three people in succession, Shen Shujia finally couldn't help but interrupt her eloquent words.

She asked casually: "Aunt Niu, why don't you go to work today?"

Aunt Niu is a person who speaks faster than her brain. As soon as she heard Shen Shujia's question, she subconsciously said: "It's not the busy season yet. I have almost done all the work in the fields. Recently, my old problem of back pain has returned." Well, just take a day off."

She was so excited just now because of gossiping. After she finished talking, she saw Shen Shujia carrying a backpack.

He glanced into the backpack and saw that it was empty, with nothing in it, "Are you going to hunt pigweed?"

This kid, the wound on his head hasn't healed yet, so he rushes to kill hogweeds, which is too diligent.

Aunt Niu was filled with admiration.

There are ten pigs in the brigade. Although people are assigned to hunt pig grass every day, there is not enough for the pigs to eat.

Therefore, the eldest children in the village, as well as some old, weak, sick, women and children, would carry their backpacks on their backs and go to the mountains to collect pig grass and exchange work points at the pig farms.

Pigweed is some non-toxic and edible wild grass and vegetables, and the chickens at home eat those too.

So Shen Shujia did not deny it, and invited Aunt Niu with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Niu, do you want to come with us?"

Aunt Niu shook her head: "I won't go. I have to go back to make lunch later."

Seeing that Aunt Niu didn't want to go, which was actually what Shen Shujia wanted, she waved her hand and said, "Then I'll go and you can chat slowly."

With that said, Shen Shujia left with the basket on her back.

As soon as she left, Aunt Niu and the other women immediately started gossiping again, this time the target of the gossip was Shen Shujia.

"Jiajia is nineteen years old, right?"

"Yeah, if you delay it any longer, you'll become an old girl. I don't know what's going on with Shen Laoer and her wife, and I won't let Jiajia look at them."

"This child Jiajia is good-looking and hard-working. It would be great if she married into my family and became my daughter-in-law."

As soon as this woman's words came out, everyone immediately laughed!

Aunt Niu laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears. She opened her mouth and said sarcastically: "Who doesn't know that your Hudan is a second-rate guy? How dare you think about Jiajia? Just take a piss and show yourself."

"It's none of your business!" The woman was scolded by Aunt Niu, and she was so angry that she wanted to attack Aunt Niu.

Aunt Niu's eyes widened and she shouted loudly: "Hey, I still want to take action after you say it, right? Come on, I'm not a vegetarian. If you dare to touch a hair on my head, do you think I'll beat you to death?"

you!"

When the others saw that a fight was about to start, they immediately stepped forward and pulled the two of them apart, "If you have something to say, please talk to me, but don't do anything."

When Hu Danniang saw Aunt Niu's arrogant look, she felt a little scared.

Aunt Niu is tall and strong. If she and Aunt Niu were to face each other, she would definitely be the one who was pressed down and beaten!

However, she was slandered by Aunt Niu just for mentioning it, and Hu Danniang was not convinced.

When she saw someone blocking her, she didn't know where she got the courage from. She frowned and said, "You've heard it too. It's obvious that she doesn't speak well, but for everyone's sake, let's forget it today. If it were someone else,

It’s better not to give her a beating…”

When the other people heard this, they were all speechless towards Hu Danniang. They all stopped her, but Hu Danniang was still fighting.

In fact, they also think that Aunt Niu is right, who is Hudan? If he could get a wife, he wouldn't be thirty years old and still a bachelor.

Who in the village doesn’t know the reason why they still have the nerve to want to marry Jia Jia? Bah!

"You're still in high spirits, aren't you?!"

Aunt Niu rolled up her sleeves and rushed over. Only then did Hu Danniang realize that everyone had let go of Aunt Niu at some point.

Hudanniang's face turned pale with fright, and she ran away.

When the others saw Hudanniang's cowardly look, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Aunt Niu spat in the direction of Hu Danniang, her tone full of disgust, and said: "You're such a coward and you still want to fight with me, bah!"

As she said that, she turned around and glanced at the others, her whole body full of momentum, "It's gone, it's gone, go home and cook!"

After saying that, Aunt Niu turned around and left.

When the others saw that it was getting late and it was time to go home and make lunch, they dispersed one after another.

＊

Shen Shujia didn't know that because she listened to Aunt Niu's gossip for a while, she was protected by Aunt Niu and almost had a fight with Hu Danniang.

She came to the foot of the mountain, and there happened to be a two-meter-wide stream at the foot of the mountain.

This stream comes from the springs on the mountain. Over time, this stream is formed.

The water in the creek is not deep, only reaching a little above an adult's knees. Occasionally, people from the village will come here to catch some small fish and shrimps and fry them home to make another dish.

Since the villagers often came to the foot of the mountain to hunt pigweed, for convenience, someone cut a few pieces of wood and tied them together to form a wooden bridge over the stream.

Near the water source, wild vegetables and weeds grow very luxuriantly, because people are constantly digging and mowing, so there are almost not many left nearby.

Shen Shujia crossed the wooden bridge and walked toward the mountain. She found a piece of shepherd's purse that had not been cut, and there were many scattered purslane around it.

Shen Shujia put down the basket, took out a small shovel from the basket, cut off the roots of the shepherd's purse, shook off the soil on the shepherd's purse, and threw it into the basket.

When you encounter purslane, cut it with a sickle.

In fact, she didn't know any of these wild vegetables. If she were thrown into the mountains and forests and asked to dig wild vegetables to feed herself, she would probably either starve to death or be poisoned.
