After hearing my voice, Sanniang and my mother both looked at me.
My mother was surprised to see me, and Sanniang was also surprised, but she soon sneered disdainfully, her face almost crooked to the sky.
"Who did I think? It turns out it's you, the little bastard, who's back. Do you still have the nerve to come back?"
I smiled lightly and said politely: "Sanniang, this is my home, why can't I come back?"
Sanniang snorted angrily: "Aren't you rich? Didn't you buy a villa in the city? When I met you a few years ago, you were so awesome that you would rather use that money to build roads than give it to us. How can these relatives, us poor relatives, be as high as a big boss like you! If you are so capable, just stay in the city and don't come back!"
My mother also stepped forward and asked me kindly: "Xiao Feng, have you eaten? Mom will make it for you."
I nodded and said to my mother with a smile: "Eat. I just ate in the county town. Mom, please stop working now. Let's find out about Sanniang."
"That's right, it won't work if you don't figure it out today. Three chickens, you can figure it out yourself."
After saying that, Sanniang added in a very serious voice: "By the way, these three chickens of mine are all egg-laying chickens. I just hope that these three chickens will lay eggs and sell them for money."
My mother explained anxiously next to her: "Yan'er, please tell the truth! I really didn't go to the back mountain to spray pesticides. I really didn't kill your chickens with pesticides."
Sanniang waved her hand and said angrily: "Huang Guifang, don't talk to me about this. Who doesn't know that you have been thinking about my chickens for a day or two? Honestly, are you deliberately poisoning them to death so that I don't know?" Can you take it from your son in the city?"
Sanniang's words made me laugh. I was trying to find a reason to ridicule my mother, but she even said these words.
My mother is weak. She has been alone in the village since my father passed away. She has a foreign surname and is always bullied by her neighbors.
But now that I'm back, I won't let my mother be bullied at all.
I protected my mother behind me, looked at Sanniang and said: "Sanniang, I call you Sanniang as an elder, but do you look like an elder? Your son is also working, you Aren't you afraid that these things will spread to your son's work and embarrass him?"
Sanniang was so rebuffed by me that she didn't know what to say. She was stunned for a while and then said: "What, am I wrong? Your mother went to the back mountain to spray pesticides and killed my chickens. This makes sense. ?"
I smiled without blushing and said, "It doesn't make sense, but I just said it to Sanniang. Do you have any evidence? You said you heard what others said, so bring that person over to me and I'll ask her face to face..." Besides, even if it’s true, my mother still sprays pesticides in her own vegetable fields, so I won’t blame your chickens for running into my fields to eat vegetables, so that’s fine.”
"You, you..." Sanniang was so angry with me that her face began to turn pale, and she was speechless for a long time.
I continued: "If that doesn't work, then I'll go find the village director, and we'll discuss the matter. We'll clear this matter up today!"
Sanniang completely lost her temper, glared at me fiercely, pointed at me and said, "Okay, you little brat, just wait for me, wait..."
After saying that, Sanniang took away the three dead chickens on the ground.
The yard was finally quiet. I looked back at my mother. She also breathed a sigh of relief, but her face looked a little strange.
I turned to my mother and said, "Okay, Mom, this matter has been solved, don't worry."
My mother sighed and said, "No, you, Sanniang, can't just give up. Why don't you give her the money for these three chickens?"
My mother is a typical rural woman. She has been taught since childhood not to cause trouble. This is not because my mother is cowardly. She is a very typical rural woman.
I patted my mother on the shoulder and continued to comfort her: "Don't worry! It's okay. I've been at home these two days and they don't dare to do anything."
With my comfort, my mother gradually felt relieved and went to prepare dinner for me.
I remembered that I had just seen so many people surrounding the village committee at the entrance of the village, and I immediately asked my mother in the woodshed: "Mom, when I came back just now, I saw many people in the village committee. Are they talking about demolition?" ?”
"No, it was a fundraiser for the old village chief's cause. Everyone in the village went to donate. I heard that the demolition will take place tomorrow." My mother's voice came from the woodshed.
I was startled for a moment. The old village chief was quite a nice person. He also cared about our family when he was in office.
Before I even started my career, he always came to help our family and really helped our family a lot.
But the two sons of the old village chief are very unfilial. As far as I know, one of them went to jail for theft, and the other son is also gnawing at his old age at home all day long.
I was surprised and turned to my mother and asked: "What happened to the old village chief?"
My mother sighed and said: "I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor at the beginning of the year. I heard that it would cost hundreds of thousands in medical expenses. The old village chief's family had lost all their money to his youngest son. Now the village is in trouble." To raise donations for him... I also planned to go there later, but your third wife suddenly came to the door."
My first reaction is that I have to donate this money. Even if I don’t have any money now, I will donate it.
Because the old village chief really helped our family a lot. When I was admitted to college, I still had more than a thousand yuan left to pay for tuition, so the old village chief lent us the money.
Now that the old village chief has encountered such a problem, it would be really inhumane for me to ignore it.
I immediately said to my mother: "Mom, I will make a donation with you later!"
"Okay." My mother responded, and then said, "I've prepared the dishes, let's go."
Before I could reply, someone came from outside the yard and shouted: "Chen Feng, you little bastard, get out of here!"
My heart skipped a beat and I hurriedly looked outside the yard.
I saw several people standing outside the door, and they were all my relatives. The leaders were my third wife, third uncle, and uncle and uncle.
Four people blocked the door of my house angrily, looking as if they were going to tear my house apart.
I knew that Sanniang must have gone back and told Third Uncle, and then Third Uncle called the uncle and his family to show off to me.
But although I, Chen Feng, am down and out, I am not that easy to bully. Don’t think that I am afraid of so many people coming.
After going to open the door, they swarmed in.
The third uncle had a cold face and yelled at me: "Chen Feng, you little brat, you are terrible! Three of my chickens were killed by your mother's pesticides, and you still excuse her, that's fine." , you come to compensate for our losses!”
I was not impatient and replied in a good voice: "Third uncle, I have made it very clear just now. We must have evidence. What are you yelling about here?"
The uncle was older, so he immediately stepped forward and said very diplomatically: "Chen Feng, don't make trouble, others have seen that your mother's chickens were killed by pesticides given by your mother. There is nothing to say about this." .”
The eldest uncle also echoed: "That's right, if you lose the money, it's over. Why talk so much?"
I didn't want to talk nonsense to them, so I waved my hand and said, "I made it very clear. If you show me the evidence, I will admit to losing money. If you don't get it, you can't get a penny from my family!"
My mother limped out after hearing the noise outside in the woodshed. When she saw the battle in front of her, she was so anxious that she almost cried.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "What's going on? We're all a family. Don't quarrel, don't quarrel... If you have anything to say, talk to me..."
"Who is in your family? When my second brother wanted to separate the family, Huang Guifang could eat whatever he wanted, but he couldn't talk nonsense! Be careful to swallow you to death..."
After hearing Sanniang's words, the emotions I had been holding back suddenly burst out.
He immediately picked up a hoe next to him, held the hoe across his chest, and yelled: "Get out! You are not welcome in our home. You are limited to one minute, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
