1960s: The crazy life after the alchemy furnace became a spirit

Chapter 87: Neither Side Is Good

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong."

Xu Taohua was grabbed by the hair by the captain's wife. After being pulled up from the ground, she was slapped in the face, one slap after another. Xu Taohua quickly admitted her mistake. In fact, the captain's wife did not hit her too hard, otherwise, rural women would have strong hands. After these slaps, Xu Taohua would not have lost many teeth. It was all because the captain's wife was kind-hearted.

"Humph, my man has already told me that he doesn't know Gu Qingwu's address, and you're still throwing a tantrum here, what do you want to do?"

The captain's wife left Xu Taohua angrily and said, "This woman deserves to be punished."

After saying that, she glared at the captain fiercely.

"Look at you, a lousy captain. Not only do you not get any benefits all year round, but you also have to endure the humiliation. What are you doing as a captain?"

The captain's wife yelled at the captain in annoyance. The captain chuckled twice and did not dare to refute his wife. The captain is more than just a title. After all, there are some things that require the captain to step in.

Sometimes, people will give me gifts or something, and that’s the benefit.

His wife was also aware of this. She said this for the people in the village to hear. Didn’t you see that after hearing the noise, the people in the village came out to watch the fun, but no one came out to help him. So, his wife started to get angry.

"Xu Taohua, I'm going to say this. My husband said he didn't know Qingwu's address, and he didn't know it. If he knew, he wouldn't refuse to give it to me. If you keep making trouble, I'll make you carry manure. Those of you lying on the kang in your house have to come out and work."

The captain's wife said in a cold voice, "Hmph, this Gu family is too outrageous. In the past, they would not do anything too excessive for the sake of Gu Laoer, but now, haha, if you don't want the face you give them, then forget it."

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. My parents-in-law and my husband are lying on the kang. They can't get up."

Xu Taohua was really scared. She was terrified when she thought about her husband being forced to work even with a broken leg. Her parents-in-law were two old guys who had to be forced to work. If she couldn't take good care of her husband, it would be a lifelong problem.

"Humph."

The captain's wife snorted coldly. This Xu Taohua deserves to be taught a lesson. If she is taught a lesson, won't she be obedient?
Xu Taohua also realized that the captain's wife was trying to scare her, but if she dared to continue making trouble, the captain's wife would probably really dare to get rid of her husband and let the villagers drag her parents-in-law and her husband out to work. During this period, the fields were very busy, busy with the autumn harvest and planting winter wheat. Now, except for those who were lying and unable to move, everyone came out, and she also came out to work. Now, when she went back, she had to wash clothes, cook and serve the three people lying on the kang. Xu Taohua was very tired every day, otherwise, she would not have wanted to look for Gu Qingyan. She felt that with Gu Qingyan around, she didn't have to worry about washing clothes and cooking.

Now, everything in the family depends on her alone. She has never been so diligent before, but now everything depends on her son, and she can't stand it anymore.

But she had to work. There was no food left at home, and if she didn't work, she would have nothing to eat. She had to go to work, but she was used to being lazy, and now she only gained five or six centimeters a day. This was because the accountant considered her not being lazy. Otherwise, her work points would still be low. She didn't know what they would do next.

The eldest son needs money to go to school, the family needs money for food, drink, and toilet, and her husband and those two old guys also need money to lie on the kang. Just thinking about it, Xu Taohua felt that her life was not going to be easy.

"roll."

The captain's wife cursed, and Xu Taohua stood up from the ground and ran away.

The captain's wife looked around at the people watching the fun, glared at them fiercely, and then glared at her husband.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go home?"

After scolding her husband, she turned around and went home. The captain also turned around and went home. Seeing that there was nothing more fun to watch, everyone else also went home one after another. …

"The captain said there's no address."

After returning home, Xu Taohua spoke to Gu Weihong with a nervous look. Gu Weihong looked at Xu Taohua deeply. He now disliked Xu Taohua very much. He disliked Xu Taohua for her poor work skills and her lack of attentiveness in serving them. But now, the only one they could count on was Xu Taohua.

"You are useless. You can't do anything. You eat everything without leaving any residue. What do you need me for?"

Gu Weihong scolded Xu Taohua twice. Xu Taohua shrank her neck and dared not to refute. She just let Gu Weihong scold her.

"If the boss sends a message asking for money or food, don't give it to him. Let him come back on his own."

Gu Weihong thought of her eldest son and said with disdain, "This eldest son is too unreasonable. He has been in the city for such a long time and never came back to visit his family. Now that something has happened at home, he is nowhere to be seen."

I can't count on him now, but can I wait for him to take care of me when they are old?
"Well, the family has no money and no food now."

Xu Taohua said embarrassedly that her son wanted food and she wanted to give it to him, but there were four mouths to feed in the family and the food was not enough. Gu Weihong got even angrier when she heard this. They were all drinking porridge now, and although they were lying on the kang without moving, they were also hungry. This woman was so useless.

"Why don't you go to your mother's house and borrow some food?"

Gu Weihong thought about her family's current situation and said in a deep voice. When Xu Taohua heard this, she was so scared that she shook her head.

"Wei Hong, if I go to my mother's house to borrow food, one thing is that I can't borrow it, but they will definitely keep me to work."

Xu Taohua didn't want to go back to her parents' home. Not only would she have to work if she went back, but she would also have to endure hunger. Although there was not enough food at home now, she was the head of the family. She still had to work in the fields and serve the three people lying on the kang at home. At least she ate better than those who lay on the kang.

"If it doesn't work, go borrow from the brigade."

Gu Weihong thought of the Xu family and glared at Xu Taohua again. Why was he so blind to fall in love with this woman in the first place? If he had fallen in love with another woman, they wouldn't have to worry about having no place to borrow food now.

Seeing Gu Weihong's disgusted look, Xu Taohua lowered her head and dared not speak any more. If she spoke at this time, she would be scolded, and Xu Taohua did not want to be scolded.

"roll roll roll."

Gu Weihong looked at Xu Taohua who was standing there and waved her hand in disdain. This woman made her angry just by looking at her. It would be better to let her go to work.

"You can clean up the vegetable garden at home and see if there is anything edible and what can be stored for the winter. If there is nothing, try to dig up some wild vegetables and dry them."

Gu Weihong doesn't dare to be picky now. Even if she could borrow food from the brigade, she wouldn't be able to borrow too much. They must find a way to store more edible food, otherwise what will they do in the winter? Even if they can feed the children well, they will not get any work points if they don't work in the winter.

"it is good."
