The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 183: As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood

Shen Yongfu was worried about those families who never stored food and even sold it on the black market, so he rushed to the village to ask about the grain reserves at home.

He also called the village accountant to go from house to house to persuade them to prepare more food, because people would be cold and hungry in winter, which could be fatal.

Some families in the village had originally received little food, and when they heard the team leader and the accountant say that there might be a snowstorm, they knew that in their area, heavy snow would close the mountains, and if the mountains were closed and the food supply was cut off, people would have no choice but to wait for death. They knew that what the team leader and the accountant said made sense, and they all expressed their desire to buy some coarse grains for reserve.

But there are also some people who are stubborn and will not listen to you no matter how hard you try. Later, the accountant saw that the villagers were stubborn and said some unpleasant things, such as how do you know it will snow, how do you know the mountain will be closed, my family has no money, if you have money you can buy it for my family, etc., and he got angry and scolded those people.

"If your family wants to starve to death, no one will take care of you. Stop saying shameless things here every day. I'm telling you this first. The village has no money or food in its account. Don't wait until you're about to starve to death and ask the village for help. I tell you it's impossible."

Shen Yongfu also cursed, trying to wake up those confused people, "You have to guard the few dollars and dimes in your pocket day by day, and when something happens, you will figure out whether money or life is more important. As long as there is life, there is hope. If there is no life, there is nothing."

The two of them used both intimidation and threats, and finally managed to scare off the stubborn households in the village. Although they still didn't buy much food, it was better than not buying anything at all. The little extra they bought could last them for a few days.

Aunt Song Yun, Shen Xiuxiu, and Jiang Yuqing were looking at the list of applicants at Xiao Baoer's place. Aunt Song Yun pointed out the names of several women and said, "Mrs. Zhensheng, these women are no good. Your uncle has dealt with these families' lost items several times, and he always found the lost items in their rooms."

Xiao Baoer took a look at the names and then crossed them out. Shen's mother had talked about these people before and told Xiao Baoer that they were not clean.

Then several people continued to watch. Jiang Yuqing saw the names of those female educated youth. Zhou Yu did not sign up, but the other female educated youth all signed up. When Jiang Yuqing saw a few names, she frowned.

"What's wrong, Sister Yuqing? Is there any problem?" Shen Xiuxiu noticed that Jiang Yuqing frowned. She must have seen the name of someone she didn't want to see on the list.

Jiang Yuqing's expression returned to normal, and she just smiled gently and said, "Nothing, I just saw Liu Mengmeng's name and her mother-in-law's name, and the name of the educated youth who always stole things from me and Zhou Yu at the educated youth site."

Aunt Song Yun said directly, "It's not a big deal. Liu Mengmeng's reputation is so bad that she can just cross it out. Her mother-in-law's name doesn't need to be crossed out to avoid her making comments. However, her craftsmanship is so rough that she will definitely not pass the test. Just cross out the one who stole something."

Several people were discussing in the room, and finally there were more than 60 women who had no problems with their skills or anything else. Xiao Baoer asked Shen Xiuxiu to give the list to Aunt Song Yun, and asked her to take it back to the team leader, read it on the loudspeaker, and then ask these people to come to the house this afternoon to compete.

During lunch, the team leader read out the names on the list on the loudspeaker, and every family listened carefully, mainly to hear if their name was on the list. As long as their name was on the list, they would have a chance.

Li Sangou's mother only heard her own name and the names of the eldest and second sons' wives, and did not hear Liu Mengmeng's name at all. She was so angry that she threw her chopsticks and started to curse her with gritted teeth.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. My dog ​​is unlucky to marry a loser like you. You just waste food every day. How dare you have the nerve to eat? Didn't you say that you are familiar with Shen Laowu's wife, and she will definitely speak for you?"

Liu Mengmeng was afraid that Old Lady Li would hit her, so she backed away in fear, her neck shrunk, and said in horror, "We are both educated youth, and we came from the same place. His parents and my parents are colleagues. How could I have thought that she would be so heartless and not take care of her comrades at all."

Old lady Li dropped her chopsticks and slapped her twice, "Comrade? How do I know who you are? I think you're more of a whore than anything else. Since you said his parents were colleagues of yours, and Jiang Zhiqing's family is well off, then you should ask his family to send you money. Don't eat for free at my place every day. I won't spoil you."

Liu Mengmeng argued aggrievedly, "My parents are worried about my husband and our family, so we just want to test our family. If they are satisfied that you and my husband treat me well, they will definitely give me a large dowry."

Old Lady Li was half-believing and half-doubting her words and stopped scolding her. It was mainly because of the huge dowry. When the dowry was given, she would take all of it and then continue to torture this little bitch.

Li Sangou didn't care at all about his mother scolding Liu Mengmeng. He was tired of Liu Mengmeng a long time ago. These days, he took the food from home and went out at night to look for Widow Miao or to the next village to look for Xiaohua.

Wang Pan saw that other daughters-in-law had also come to sign up, but none of their names were called out. Each of her daughters-in-law had her own quirks.

After her eldest daughter-in-law Wang Mei and Li Changhe got into that incident, she was punished and driven out of the village. Her parents' home wouldn't let her go back either, and now no one knows where she is.

The second daughter-in-law is a selfish person with some mental illness. She can't stand anyone bragging in front of her about so-and-so giving birth to a son or so-and-so's son being so cute. She will go crazy when she hears these things. Xiao Baoer naturally won't use her. After all, there are three sons in the family and she is pregnant with two more. How can she possibly keep such a person to work?

The third daughter-in-law looks honest on the surface, but she is very cunning. Although she has not cheated, she has bewitched her eldest uncle and younger brother-in-law. Everyone in the family seems to be afraid of Wang Pan, but she is the one who is really cunning.

Xiao Baoer thinks this kind of person is the most disgusting. She is not clean herself but pretends to be a pure green tea. She gets itchy when she sees such a person.

The fourth daughter-in-law had some health problems of her own, and her legs and feet were not very good. Ever since she lost the baby in her belly, she became a little crazy. If anyone spoke loudly, she would be scared and faint.

There was no way Xiao Baoer would keep such a person to work. After all, if something happened to her while she was working, seeing Wang Pan's horrible look, how could he not come to blackmail her?
