章節 188: You Are Not My Mother
The village chief's wife did not refuse, and she also felt that it was indeed a waste of time to wait like this, so she nodded and agreed, but she did not forget to remind everyone to just walk around and not leave everyone's sight.
As soon as the village chief wife agreed, the number of people waiting outside the wood shop soon decreased by half, and they merged into the walking crowd and entered various shops. Many people even went to the pork shop. Although they couldn't bear to buy the meat, they were willing to spend the pork fat. They have to say, it was all due to the stimulation from Gulan's oil refining yesterday.
Even the wife of the village chief's daughter-in-law, Li Youzhi, was one of them. She came here specifically to buy oil at the instruction of her mother-in-law. I can't afford to eat meat every day, but with my current savings, I can still afford lard. Even if I don't have meat to satisfy my craving, it's the same if I have oil. As soon as the mother-in-law gave the order, I handed the child to her and immediately dragged my second brother and his wife, took the silver given by the mother-in-law, and squeezed into the pork shop not far from the wood shop.
At the same time, many people including Li Da's wife, Li Er's wife, Li Kui's wife, Li Shan's mother and others came together, and they quickly bought up all the oil boards of the two nearby pork shops.
There were many people and little oil, so Mrs. Li (village chief family) and her companions were a step slow. Thinking that they could not make a wasted trip to the pork shop, they gritted their teeth and bought a piece of fat with less lean meat.
The price was twice that of pork fat, so Mrs. Li added more than 20 cents and also bought a portion of pork liver. The offal has a strong taste and is much cheaper than meat. Now that the temperature is getting colder, it's okay if we don't pack these things up until nightfall.
After buying what they need, most people will not stay for too long and will quickly return to the woodshop to continue waiting. Seeing this, the village chief's wife also breathed a sigh of relief.
...It's good that everyone knows the situation.
"Mom, my sister and I want to go for a walk too." Seeing several familiar children in the village being taken for a walk around the area by their parents, the two little girls Li Ru and Li Yi, who had been detained, couldn't help but act coquettishly towards their mother.
As her sister-in-law bought meat, Li Wangshi felt soft-hearted when she saw her daughter acting coquettishly. She thought it would be okay for her to take her for a walk around the area. She immediately looked at her mother-in-law. If she didn't agree, they couldn't go.
The two little girls, Li Ru and Li Yi, also looked at their grandmother and called her "Grandma" softly.
Aunt Li gave birth to four sons but no daughters, and she has five grandsons. In their family, granddaughters are more valued than grandsons. Aunt Li favored these two granddaughters to begin with, and she couldn't remain hard-hearted when she heard the children calling her grandma softly.
She quickly hugged her two granddaughters and nodded in agreement, but she was still worried and told her two daughters-in-law to look after the children and hold them tightly.
Seeing that their grandmother had agreed, the two little girls were immediately happy and smiled with joy! They immediately rushed to Uncle Gu's carriage and shouted to Daya and Erya who were sitting in the carriage.
"Daya, Erya, do you want to go shopping?" Li Ru asked excitedly.
The girl shook her head. Her master had already taken them for a walk yesterday and they had eaten a lot of delicious food, so they were not so interested anymore. Another reason was that the master and Mr. Jin had both told her not to move, so Daya absolutely did not dare to leave the carriage. Another thing is, there are so many things in the carriage, it will not work without someone. If the elder sister doesn't go, Erya will definitely not go either. She shook her head at Li Ru and her sister.
Li Ru and Li Yi were not disappointed. They nodded and then held their mother's hands, waved to Daya and Erya, and walked into the crowd. Goudan also wanted to go, but he was held tightly by Li Si's wife. The little guy's legs were too fast now, and he might disappear in an instant if he ran away. She was worried.
On the other side, Baodan's mother also dragged Baodan around the shops, buying some grains, salt and other seasonings.
North City is a bit remote, so there are fewer street vendors here, but there are still some selling candied haws and various other foods. At this moment, Baodan was pestering his mother to buy him some dumplings, but his mother refused and tried to coax him.
"Be obedient, Baodan. I'll buy you some candied haws. They're sour and sweet, and they're really good. Didn't you want some before? You just had breakfast and you don't want these dumplings anymore. Look, I'm buying some meat. I'll make some for you later. I guarantee they'll taste much better than the ones here. Be good!"
Baodan's mother tried hard to coax her son, and she regretted not asking her husband to go along. This kid is really a headache when he throws a tantrum.
"No, I want to eat it. I want the candied haws and flatbreads as well."
When Baodan heard that his mother didn't want to buy it, he immediately became unhappy and started to howl at his mother's request. His actions of throwing a tantrum were not so smooth and soon a crowd of people gathered to watch them.
Baodan Mother: "…"
The pointing and strange looks from passers-by made Baodan's mother smile awkwardly for a moment. Looking at her son howling on the ground, and then at the well-behaved children passing by, she regretted for the first time that she had been too indulgent towards her son.
"Be obedient, son. I'll keep my word. I'll pack it for you later." Baodan's mother coaxed him kindly and tried to pull her son up from the ground. However, she was holding something in her hands and Baodan refused to cooperate, so she couldn't do it.
"I won't listen. Am I still your lifeblood? You can't even afford to buy me some dumplings. You don't love me at all. From now on, I won't feed you dumplings, and I won't take care of you until the end of your life."
With so many experiences, Baodan knows exactly what he can do to control his parents. What his parents fear most is that no one will take care of them in their old age. This is their weak point. Every time he said this, his parents would compromise. While speaking, Baodan looked at his mother smugly, waiting for her to compromise again.
Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for his mother's compromise, the "precious egg" received a stern roar from her. Baodan was so frightened that his howling stopped and became stuck. He looked at his mother's cold face in surprise, who was now looking at him sternly. This was the first time Baodan saw his mother being so mean to him. He didn't know if he was scared or if he couldn't react, but he just kept howling.
Baodan's mother also wanted to save face. It didn't matter in the village team, because everyone knew each other. But on this street, there were strangers coming and going. Baodan was so disobedient, which made her mother look bad. In addition, he said would not take care of her until his death, so the strange looks from passers-by made Baodan's mother unable to bear it. Baodan's mother also regretted her son's familiar behavior of throwing tantrums at any time and in any place, because her son learned all this from her.
Putting down the things in her hands, Baodan's mother pulled her son up from the ground, staring at him with a pair of eyes, obviously angry.
"Are you going to listen to me or not? If you don't, I will spank you and even the candied haws will be gone." She spoke in an aggressive tone, leaving no room for negotiation.
Looking at his mother's raised hand, Baodan remembered the day when he was beaten by the bad guy. That was how the bad guy beat him, and it hurt a lot on his butt. Baodan looked at his mother in disbelief. He felt extremely wronged. He stood up and pushed his mother back, shouting, "You are not my mother."
Then, before Baodan's mother could react, he dived into the crowd and ran away very quickly, disappearing soon.
