Chapter 450: How did my courtyard wall offend him?

Zhang Guifen was immersed in her own world halfway through listening, and then she cried and blurted out:

"I don't listen..."

Then she cried for half the night, the kind that cried only when anyone tried to persuade her. Then she got up before dawn and left. When she walked in and saw Old Man Zhang yawning after not sleeping all night, her tears started to flow. She didn't believe what Old Man Zhang said about working overtime to earn money. She felt that it was too hard for her father to live alone. She hugged Old Man Zhang and cried more sadly than at a funeral...

"Why don't you just tell her the truth? If she doesn't expect anything, she'll just go back to work."

Old man Zhang's face darkened, and he sighed and replied:

"If she knew I was cheated, she would probably have to stay with me for a few days. That's absolutely not okay."

"Then say you met a widow and ask her not to disturb your happy old age. After all, you know each other. Widow, I'll find a way for you. I told you before about the guy in our courtyard. He's fat and strong and can definitely take a beating."

"Getting married is already a disgrace to my mentor. How stupid do you think I am? That I'm thinking of finding someone else to control me?"

As the two were talking, Lin Genggeng came in on tiptoe. This guy had been lingering at the door. Having suffered before, he knew that his father-in-law had a bad temper. He would never hit his daughter, and it was as if he had no mouth, and he would always grant her any request.

As for myself, I would hit myself hard whenever I could. After getting married, I gradually became the fastest runner in the village.

"Why does your wife keep running back? Why don't you quickly persuade her to go home? You two are grown up, and crying in front of me is just a joke."

After hearing this, Zhang Xingwang silently leaned against the wall and forced the corners of his mouth down. His meaning was very clear: he looked at it, but he definitely didn't laugh.

Lin Qiang listened to Old Man Zhang's crazy talk, the smile on his face was uglier than crying, and he replied angrily but not daring to say anything:

"I tried to persuade her for half the night yesterday, but she refused to listen. The three children also took turns to persuade her for a long time, but she just couldn't stop crying. This time it wasn't just because she was in a bad mood, it looked like she was really crying..."

The father-in-law and son-in-law sighed together. Old man Zhang also understood that there was no hope for his daughter to change her personality. Just like some people are born thick-skinned, there is no way you can deal with a person who is born to cry...

This time, Zhang Xingwang bought enough medicine for three and a half months, packed it into a sack, and quickly left this low-pressure area accompanied by intermittent crying.

Old man Zhang looked at the money in his hand and remembered what Zhang Xingwang said. He turned around and asked his son-in-law to find out what kind of job could keep his daughter busy. It would be best if the work was light and she could fall asleep as soon as she got home every day.

Old Man Zhang has made up his mind. He will go into the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow. He will not come back until he has collected enough money from the work. He must finish the work before winter, otherwise he will have nowhere to go when it is freezing cold. Anyway, she only has one day off a week, so he will act according to circumstances when the time comes.

At worst, I can go out and break a hole in the ice to catch fish. I happen to have a recipe for medicinal fish, so I can catch some fish to satisfy my hunger.

Zhang Xingwang returned to his aunt's home and saw that she looked listless. It was said that she did not sleep well because of her uncle's return, and she listened to him nagging until dawn.

He sighed and said that the timing of fishing yesterday was wrong, so he got up and left at dawn. He said that he was worried that Ergou was not good at talking, and if he didn't advertise it to everyone, he would suffer a great loss. He had been waiting for this day for a month.

"Do you think he's crazy? How can he be so energetic? Last time he said he let a big fish get away, and he kept talking about it for three days. Fortunately, I'm going back to my parents' house tomorrow, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep."

Bai Xiaoya also came over with sleepy eyes, rolled her eyes at Zhang Xingwang, and interrupted:

"That's right. If I don't go back to grandma's house, I won't be able to sleep well."

Zhang Xingwang and his sister-in-law were stunned. Then Zhang Xingwang dragged his short-legged wife into the house and said unhappily:

"Can you please have some shame? Why are you saying anything like that?"

Bai Xiaoya still looked a little confused, and replied nonchalantly:

"Aunt is not a stranger. You are the one who made me sleep poorly. I think you did it on purpose to embarrass me in my aunt's house."

"You actually still know how to embarrass yourself. I know how shameless you are, so I don't have any expectations in this regard."

"I have to go and ask my aunt to judge the matter. You are bullying me day and night."

Zhang Xingwang decisively took out digestive pills and grapes, successfully diverting his wife's attention. By the way, he also understood the pain of the sixth brother. This woman is the absolute king when it comes to taking advantage of others' power and pretending to be pitiful and making complaints.

Then the two of them said goodbye to the aunt and went back. The aunt planned to set off tomorrow. It so happened that the village's ox cart would pass by the city tomorrow, and the place it passed by was not far from Zhangjia Village.

Bai Xiaoya was very curious about Old Man Zhang's story, and asked him why he had to get the medicine here. While speaking, she glanced at Zhang Xingwang's lower body in confusion.

Then he said hypocritically that what he had was enough and there was no need to add icing on the cake, otherwise his life would be completely unbearable in the future.

After listening to Zhang Xingwang's explanation, Bai Xiaoya immediately regretted it and said that she would come back next time to buy some supplements for herself.

When they got back to Zhangjia Village, they stopped their bikes and looked puzzled. Bai Xiaoya patted Zhang Xingwang's thigh and pointed at the wall and said in surprise:

"Why do I remember this side didn't fall?"

A group of people were building a courtyard wall. When the old man saw the two of them, he came forward and said bitterly:

"You remember correctly, this half fell down last night, and that stupid guy Genwazi was almost crushed to death. In the middle of the night, I thought the earth dragon had turned over. Fortunately, this guy reacted quickly. But he is still lying at home now. Look, it's getting longer and longer now."

The old lady also rushed over after hearing the news. She pulled Zhang Xingwang aside with a stern face and said angrily:

"He deserves it. How did my courtyard wall offend him? A village chief can't even knock on the door, and he limps over the wall in the middle of the night. The courtyard wall was just built in the afternoon. Do you think he is stupid? Or did his brain get damaged that day?"

Seeing Zhang Xingwang's expression of approval, the old lady closed her eyelids, pulled Zhang Xingwang and said helplessly:

"Xingwang, what did you do with Genwazi again? He sent five chickens yesterday, saying that you asked him to send them to your home to raise. It would be fine if he just sent chickens, but this heartless guy sent all roosters. Who would raise five big roosters at home? This is a wicked thing.

What village head would climb over the wall at night when he doesn’t do his work? This fool is not a good person! Xingwang, you have to listen to grandma’s advice. Find someone else in the village to do this. Genwazi is not a man who can do things. He almost destroyed the wall at home.”

The old lady was probably very angry. She spat after she finished speaking quickly, as if she had stained her mouth even by saying the word "genwazi".
