Goldfield
Chapter 125: Scratch

“Of course we have to think of all the ways to make money! We need money to build a fence and fix a house. We also have a lot of debt! Although my father's leg has recovered, but he will feel that he will not stand it when he uses too much strength. It was fine during the day, but it would be so painful at night that he could not even sleep. He had been able to survive thanks to the painkillers that Doctor Sun prescribed. He couldn't be the main workforce in our family, and my older brother still owes me dozens of taels of medical expenses, will Grandma and Oldest Aunt help us pay off our debts? "

Yu Xiaocao had long seen their intentions, so he was constantly complaining about the suffering of his family. In the backyard, Xiaolian blocked her parents and refused to let the two nice and unfriendly people go to be bullied. He also asked Qian Wu, who was taking care of the ducks in the pond, to go look for his grandfather who entered the village. Old Yu was the only one who could somewhat control Madam Zhang.

"Alright fine! What's the point of saying all this junk? Hurry up and collect vegetables for your grandmother. Do you want the old lady herself to get it? You are an unwise man! ”Madam Li noticed that her in-laws face was becoming increasingly unsightly, so she hurriedly interrupted.

Yu Xiaocao did not change his expression and continued to fake a smile, “The Eldest Aunt is right! Grandma, what vegetables do you want to eat? I'll gather them for you. ”

"Let's do it . Give me each basket! ”Mrs Zhang is also a good money maker. He could see the values of the lush green vegetables just by looking at them. There are four or five types of vegetables here. If he obtained one basket each, it would be at least four or five catties, which should have cost him several taels.

In the past, when Yu Hai existed and the family did not part, he did not pay attention to the importance if Without skilled fishermen like Yu Hai, he did not, they have caught less than half the number of fish compared to last year, but there is also not much variation. Some regular customers gradually stopped ordering from the Yu Family because they were unable to meet their needs.

Now, Yu Dashan not only went fishing in the sea with Old Yu, but he also sold fish in the fish market with other fishermen. When business is bad, half of the fish will be left. My family has been eating fish for over a week. They used to be reluctant to eat it, but now they are sick of eating it. The weather gradually heated up, so if they did not eat the fish, it would become rotten quickly.

Yu and his old son brought back less and less money, so Madam Zhang's heart became even more agitated. His youngest son had sent a letter saying that he wanted to study at Rongxuan Academy and needed money for brushes, ink, and books. Also, the rent of the residence they had rented in the city had ended and his youngest grandson, Little Doudou, was sick in early spring, one after another.

Seeing the less money in her hands, Madam Zhang felt as if fire was burning her heart. She can't eat or sleep well, and has some canker sores. When she heard from Madam Li that the second branch started selling their vegetables, she pondered for a while and thought of an idea.

However, Yu Xiaocao was not like his parents, who was easily intimidated by Madam Zhang. He sneered and said, “Grandmother! Are you not going to eat vegetables to prevent hunger? With four or five baskets of vegetables, even if you eat a lot, wouldn't it take at least twenty days to get everything done? Aren't you afraid the vegetables will rot in the basket and go to waste ?! ”

"That's none of your business! Grandma told you to pick vegetables, so just do as you're told! What's with all your bullshit !! ”Madia Li has already impatiently started collecting vegetables herself. After eating boiled cabbage and radish and a mixture of whole grain flatbread for the whole winter, his eyes were already green with greed when he saw all the green vegetables. He had never been so eager to eat a stir-fry vegetable !!

“First Aunt !! Be careful not to step on the vegetables .. ”Before Yu Xiaocao even finished speaking, Li Guihua had already stepped on the lettuce under her feet. 'Every green vegetable is a shiny piece of silver. 'Xiaocao's heart ached nonstop.

Right at this moment, a golden light, like lightning, was launched towards Li Guihua. With a loud shout, Li Guihua covered her face and sat down in the vegetable field. His huge ass hit the vegetable garden. If the vegetables were alive, they would definitely scream before dying.

"Who ... Whose cat is this? How can you take it out to scratch people? ”Mrs Li saw and saw a little kitten that wasn't even as big as a fist. It was covered in golden fur and stared intently at Li Guihua with its golden eyes. It showed a ferocity disproportionate to its size.

'Little Glutinous dumplings, nice work !!' Yu Xiacao praised the little celestial endlessly in his heart.

[She kept babbling and her voice sounded as bad as a slaughtered pig. He is so noisy!!] The little heavenly stone licked its claws with dissatisfaction. He glared at Madam Li with hostility as if he was about to jump to the next second and rush towards his 'victim'.

"My face !!" Li Guihua took off the hand she used to cover her face, but was shocked by the blood on her hand. That damn cat dares to scratch his face. What should he do if there is a scar?

If Xiaocao could read his thoughts, he would definitely roast him endlessly: Eldest Aunt, even if your face is not deformed, you also do not look that good. You have a face that affects the appearance of the city! '

Madam Zhang leaned over to pick up the lump of earth and was about to throw it at the little golden kitten, but noticed that the kitten had already turned its attention towards him. The little one exuded a terrifying strength that made him feel as if he was not facing a small kitten but a majestic-looking giant tiger.

Madam Zhang's feet started to tremble. He dropped the piece of land in his hand and stuttered, “Evil girl, is this your cat? Quickly take it !! ”

Madam Li, who was triggered by the blood on her hands, suddenly lunged at the little golden kitten like a mad woman. As a result, all the vegetables around her suffered a tragic death.

"My life !!" Yu Xiaocao cried sadly.

The little golden kitten seemed to feel the mood of his master and hurriedly rushed to the part of the garden that had already been harvested. His movements are light and agile. Madam Li's plump figure suddenly fell into the vegetable garden. His huge face landed first, and he could not get up immediately. After struggling for a long time, he finally sat down and noticed that his mouth was full of mud. He spat for a long time for mud to come out of his mouth.

[The useless thing! Trying to compete with me, this heavenly Stone !! Huh! Huh! Anticipation of having a nightmare tonight!!] Yu Xiaocao was the only one who could hear the gloomy voice of that heavenly stone. From a place no one could see, a wisp of spiritual power like smoke entered Madam Li's nostrils. But he didn't realize it at all!

“Mother, quickly help me catch that damned cat. I'll throw it into the firepit and eat it after it's cooked !! ”Mrs Li refused to give up and was eager to catch the kitten.

Thus, Madam Li's plump, ball-like body could be seen jumping, fumbling, rolling, and crawling around the courtyard. It was a very comedic scene. By the time he was tired and panting, he still had not touched a single hair on the cat.

On a rather cold night in early spring, Madam Li's entire body was covered in sweat. With a mixture of sweat and mud on her face, she didn't even need to wear makeup to perform in a Chinese opera. He couldn't get up from sitting on the ground, so he hit his leg and wailed, “Aren't you bluffing me now? I don't care. Your family cat scratched and injured my face, so your family must compensate me! Just ... pay me five taels … "

“Who will compensate you five taels? Your face is not even worth five copper coins, yet you want five taels. Why don't you rob someone ?! ”This overwhelming response came from Old Yu, who quickly rushed over. He must be angry, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a harsh statement to his son-in-law.

Madam Li was not afraid of anything, except when her father-in-law pulled her long face. When he saw Old Yu coming, he immediately jumped off the ground. His agile movements did not seem like something that a fatty like himself could do.

“Cats scratch you, so get the money from the cat! You can't even handle a kitten that hasn't been weaned, yet you still have a face to ask others for money? Our Old Yu family does not extort money from others. If you want to create trouble for the Second Son's family, I'll talk to Li Laoshuan about it! ”Mistress Li's father, Li Laoshuan, was also a very capable man when he was young. He had obtained some properties, so the living conditions of the Li Family were much better than the Yu Family.

Madam Li did not dare to say a word. Although his father loved him, he was also an ancient and traditional man, who considered a married daughter the same as spilled water. He believed that he had to listen to everything his in-laws said. If his father found out that he was extorting money from his sister-in-law's family, he would definitely deny it. He still had to rely on his mother's family to support him, so he really couldn't let his father know about this!

Madam Zhang spoke in her defense, “What to talk about? Guihua only said that out of anger. Did you really think that he would take the money of the second branch? The Second Child's family cat scratched someone, but you wouldn't even let him say something about it? "

“I haven't even said anything about you! What are you doing here? Have you come to ask the Second Son for vegetables? Are you really shameless to ask? ”Old Yu looked at Madam Zhang with eyes full of disappointment, anger, and sadness!

When the second branch was in their most difficult times, he forced them out of their house. His second son had risked half his life in exchange for the money they had earned from selling bears. After they had hidden the three hundred taels that his second son had risked, he could barely sleep at night and was filled with torment in his heart. On the other hand, as if she had thrown away the boulder that was on her body, Madam Zhang spoke and acted in a much more relaxed manner!

Why had he never thought about how the Second Son was his blood and flesh! She believes that she has never been biased towards Dashan and has always treated him like her own son. When they divided the family, they had even given the new ship that the Second Son had bought to their eldest son. Why can't he feel others and treat his children as his own?

Look what happened! Look at what Madam Zhang is doing !! He married his eldest daughter hundreds of kilometers away and sold her to a widower as his second wife. Her eldest daughter must have been very disappointed in him. After being married for so many years, other than visiting the Second Son several times, she was barely willing to meet him, her father.

His second son was a capable person, so he thought that Madam Zhang would treat the second branch better for money. But what's going on? When her second son is seriously injured and on the verge of death, Madam Zhang forces him to be separated from the family. He only gave them a shabby old residence and two very few taels …

Old Yu felt that his tolerance had reached the limit. He couldn't let Madam Zhang continue to do whatever she wanted. She must show her authority as the head of the household !!

When faced with her husband's angry gaze, Madam Zhang felt somewhat fear in her heart. However, she still insisted, “Didn't Caidie's fiancee's family be sending engagement gifts soon? I was thinking about how we didn't have something to serve them at home, and then I heard that the Second Child's family had grown vegetables, what's wrong with paying filial homage to his parents by giving them some vegetables?
