Perhaps because they had eaten meat last night, everyone seemed to be particularly energetic today. The speed of the team early in the morning was at least twice as fast as yesterday. Some people with short legs had to walk a few steps and then trot a few steps to keep up.
Although nearly four hundred people only have one cow, they still have one mouthful for each person, which is enough for them.
At the front of the team, behind Fengchi, there was also a trolley pulled today. On it were not any of the three sick people, but Li Qin, who had an injured ankle, and the old man and old man Han.
The old man knows nothing, but he seems to understand everything.
In the past two days, I haven't come to Lao Qi's house to make any noise. Today I was asked to come over and take a trolley, and I sat there quietly.
A few men from the village made the trolley overnight last night. If it is made larger, it can accommodate more than ten people at a time.
People are kind-hearted. When they saw Qi Kangfu and others chopping firewood and making carts, they all came to help. They thought that since they were doing it, they should make it bigger so that more people could go up and rest.
But they have overlooked that this cart has no wheels and is dragged directly on the ground. The road is uneven. If you really sit on it, it will shake and make you doubt your life.
After Mrs. Yang went up, she came down and walked on her legs. She whispered to Mrs. Tian next to her who was also walking on her legs: "Sitting on that top is too painful for your buttocks. We might as well rely on our own legs."
Mrs. Tian covered her mouth and moved to her ear: "I went up and sat for a while in the morning, but oh no, it made me want to vomit."
Old Mrs. Yang: "..." Then don't stop me.
Although there is a generation gap between the two of them, they are still the same age, so their chatting on the road was not that boring.
Let's talk about rushing. If you really just keep walking forward, you will become more and more tired as you walk. If you can find something to distract your attention, you will unknowingly think, hey, you have walked for so long.
When the team finally stopped, Li Qin's ass was so pressed that it no longer belonged to her, just as Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Yang said.
She looked at Qi Kangfu with a grimace, "How about you carry me on your back?"
Qi Kangfu, who was chewing dry steamed buns, almost choked to death. He drank a few sips of water before he regained his composure. "Is it a good ride without a car?"
He is also tired.
Li Qin actually just said that there was no way she could carry someone on her back when she was sitting in a car. At this moment, everyone who could move freely in the car had already got off the car and walked slowly away. She also took out the steamed buns to eat with confidence.
At noon, Qi Kang'an deliberately found a place under the shade of a tree to stop, just to let them eat something to slow down their energy, and wait for the worst of the heat to pass before continuing to walk.
"Ouch, I stink." Wu Haoyuan raised his sleeve to his nose and took a sniff, then immediately stuck out his tongue and felt disgusted.
Chen Yi frowned: "Who doesn't stink now?"
Especially the three of them.
The original clothes on the three of them must have been thrown away, or even if they were not thrown away, they were blown away by the wind. Now the clothes on the three of them are all the clothes that Qi Kang'an got from the Wu Mansion in Sanhe Town.
Everyone was sweating all the way and had no place to wash themselves. The key was that the three of them were all smeared with medicine. The smell of medicine and the smell of sweat came together, so go ahead.
At this moment, suddenly there was the sound of women quarreling not far away. No, to be precise, it was a woman scolding someone, and a young voice just kept crying.
Wu Haoyuan and Chen Yi looked at each other curiously. They were not usually such gossips, but at this time when everyone was so tired that it was difficult to talk, it was not surprising that there were still people who wanted to quarrel.
That sound also attracted Qi Bao'er's attention. She was leaning on her mother's soft arms, ready to fall asleep, when she was suddenly awakened by the sound.
Ye Sanni quickly patted her on the back and said, "touch her fur. You're not afraid. Baby, you can continue to sleep."
Qi Baoer leaned back again in confusion, "Mom, what happened?"
"Mom doesn't know either, let's just leave it alone, my baby has a good sleep."
Qi Bao'er didn't think about it, just said favor and prepared to continue sleeping.
Unexpectedly, the situation became more and more serious. The little daughter-in-law who was scolded was about to commit suicide. She really hit the tree with all her strength, leaving no way for herself to escape.
Fortunately, he was caught by Mrs. Tian who was coming out from behind the tree.
Mrs. Tian fell to the ground with her, and when she came back with her daughter-in-law, she was limping back.
"What's wrong, mother?" Ye Sanni asked Qi Kang'an, who had come back with her, in a breathy voice for fear of disturbing her daughter's sleep.
Qi Kang'an glanced at his daughter and replied in the same breath: "Doctor Gao has looked at it and found that there are no broken bones or tendons. He said it will be fine if it takes a while."
Ye Sanni breathed a sigh of relief. Don't let anyone turn around again in the family. Mom doesn't like riding on a cart that touches the ground directly.
Then he looked over there and asked, "What's going on here?"
"I'm going to commit suicide."
Ye Sanni's eyes widened. What did you say? Suicide? Why?
"Well, her mother-in-law thought she ate too much and didn't give her a share of food at noon. She asked her mother-in-law for some, and the two of them started to quarrel."
Neither of them noticed that Qi Bao'er in Ye Sanni's arms had opened her eyes at this moment.
"Brother An, you may not recognize her, but I do. You know Fucai, she is Fucai's sister-in-law, from Gejia Village next door.
Brother Fu Cai didn't get there early. His sister-in-law has never left the house since his eldest brother died.
At first we all thought she didn't want to come out, but later we found out that it was Fu Cai Niang who refused to let her go, saying she was afraid that she would bring discredit to their family."
Ye Sanni pursed her lips and complained: "At first I only knew that Sister-in-law Fucai was very hard-working and she was the one who took care of the house. After we came out together, I realized that she still had some strength. She only had one cart at home.
She and Fu Cai alternated pushing.
I suspect that Rich Lady doesn’t need to push the trolley anymore because she has more mouths to talk to in the family during this difficult time.
You said those words, if you want to leave me alone, you will fight him tooth and nail."
Fortune's wife has a bad mouth. Just what she heard just now, she uttered all kinds of bad words. Her own daughter-in-law actually scolded her for using the family's food to support a man.
Can you say this casually?
It's no wonder that the wealthy sister-in-law wants to commit suicide, why don't we just force her to die?
Mrs. Tian on the other side was also angry, angry with the wealthy lady.
How long has it been since this happened, and you still have the heart to argue and force people to death just to save a bite? Can you tolerate it in your conscience?
Fucai's sister-in-law was sitting on the ground. She wasn't crying now, but she had a look of despair.
Also, for women in this era, reputation is more important than heaven, and a good reputation is more important than life. Otherwise, her mother-in-law would not let her go out. She has never left the house even once after her husband died.
You said that the mother-in-law scolding her for stealing a man in front of everyone is equivalent to personally confirming the infidelity of the wealthy sister-in-law. Isn't it any different from directly forcing her to die?
Mrs. Tian prayed to Kang An tiredly and said, "Anzi, come here."
Later, Qi Bao'er didn't know that she fell asleep again.
I didn't even ask. When I woke up, I saw that the sister-in-law who was praying for wealth had returned to their home. Apparently her father had thought of some way to solve it.
However, when the team continued to set off, the two injured people who were bored and started gossiping told Qi Baoer the answer.
