Chapter 214 How many fingers are still usable?
Yang Wuni wanted to help Zhang Changyao tuck in the blanket that was sticking out at one corner.
Seeing Zhang Changyao wearing floral pants, he frowned and asked him.
"Huh? This...this..."
Ah! That's what happened. My underwear elastic band is missing, isn't it?
Last night I went outside to pee and accidentally dropped it on the ground. I tripped and fell flat on my back, tearing my underwear in half.
With Miao Yu sleeping in our room, I can't just come looking for you naked.
There was no other way, so I went to Liao Zhi's room and put his flowery pants on.
Zhang Changyao became more and more fluent as he spoke, making his lies sound more real than the truth.
They pulled out the two pant legs from under the pillow and placed them right under Yang Wuni's nose.
"Zhang Changyao, where did you fall? How did you manage to open these underpants so easily?"
And your mouth is covered in mud, and you've scraped your skin in a few places. Didn't you say you fell flat on your back?
Yang Wuni grabbed a piece of Xiaowenda's urine container and wiped the yellow mud off Zhang Changyao's mouth.
"Huh? It was...it was lying on its back, and then it went to that room and fell flat on its face, getting a mouthful of mud on the floor."
Zhang Changyao stammered, trying to come up with reasons that he himself didn't know were reasonable or not, in an attempt to fool Yang Wuni.
"This is really something. He did a whole night of acrobatic tricks and tumbles, but he's not even as good as an eighty-year-old man."
Keep an eye on your son, I'll sew your undershirt up right now.
Liao Zhi loves these floral pants the most; don't let him know you wore them.
Yang Wuni slipped on her shoes and got out of bed, taking out a small basket containing needles and thread.
She stood on the ground and began sewing, stitching together the two tattered trouser legs of Zhang Changyao's now-separated family.
Since there was still no elastic band, I sewed two strips of fabric onto the sides of the underpants.
The two strips of cloth can be tied together like a belt, so the pants won't fall down.
Zhang Changyao put on the sewn-up underpants, while Yang Wuni quickly washed Liao Zhi's floral pants in the washbasin.
"Zhang Changyao, you should avoid touching Liao Zhi's things in the future; he has a very good nose."
You and he don't smell alike; he'll be angry if he finds out.
Yang Wuni washed Liao Zhi's floral pants and laid them out on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Yeah! Liao Zhi isn't as troublesome as you, so he wouldn't annoy me."
After putting on his clothes, Zhang Changyao went out of the house to fetch firewood to heat the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Director Miao, Director Miao, I've come to invite you to my house for stewed chicken."
Sun Liudi, whose eyes were still wet with tears, started shouting before even entering the house.
"Brother Liudi, Director Miao is in the west room."
Yang Wuni pointed to the west room door, and Sun Liudi crouched down and sneaked into the west room.
"Brother Sun, I won't go. Killing chickens so early in the morning is too much trouble."
Miao Yu sat around Liao Zhi, looking at Sun Liudi with disgust.
"Director Miao, what's the trouble? I killed the chickens last night."
My wife got up early to stew chicken, and now the meat is all mushy.
Sun Liudi leaned his legs against the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), showing no intention of leaving.
"Sigh! Let's go then! I can't let the chick die for me in vain."
Miao Yu threw off the blanket covering her and got out of bed to put on her shoes.
The two of them left the house one after the other, and Miao Yu stood at the door without moving.
"Director Miao, what's wrong?" Sun Liudi slammed on the brakes and nearly bumped into Miao Yu.
"Brother Sun, you're not inviting anyone else, just me to eat?"
Miao Yu looked angry, her brows furrowed, and the corners of her mouth turned up, her face full of disdain.
"Oh dear! You're such a blockhead, I forgot about Brother Changyao."
Sun Liudi slapped his forehead, his face full of regret as he blamed himself.
Zhang Changyao, who was squatting by the stove and tending the fire, heard the two people talking and quickly got up and hid inside the house.
"Brother Changyao, why did you get on the bed so quickly? Are you blaming your older brother for being inconsiderate?"
Sun Liudi looked at Zhang Changyao, who had climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and tucked his feet into Yang Deshan's quilt, and said.
"Brother Liudi, I've been allergic to chicken since I was a child. I can't even stand the smell of chicken."
"You and Director Miao should hurry up and leave, or your sister-in-law will be worried." Zhang Changyao waved his hand to decline.
"Brother Changyao, if you don't go, you'll be blaming your older brother in your heart."
People say that you should leave out your neighbors, even if you're just a villager; I really didn't think things through when I did things today.
"If you're still angry with me, then don't go. We'll be buddies from now on." Sun Liudi pretended to be angry and turned to leave.
"Brother Liudi, I'll go, I'll go, okay?"
Zhang Changyao was at a loss after Sun Liu's words, so he had no choice but to get down and follow him.
Miao Yu saw Zhang Changyao leave the house before giving Sun Liudi a smile.
"Everyone come out and see! Everyone come and see! Village Chief Hu and Zheng Jingren, they've beaten a man's head so badly it looks like a dog's head."
After Zhang Changyao and Miao Yu had eaten at Sun Liudi's house, they heard Zhai Si'er shouting throughout the village on their way back.
"Zhang Changyao, the people in your village are really bold."
Even if the village chief is incompetent, he's still your leader. You think you can just beat him up like that?
Miao Yu was slightly drunk. She pretended to be unsteady on her feet and grabbed Zhang Changyao's arm, leaning on him as she walked.
Upon hearing Zhai Si'er's shout, he immediately stood up straight.
"Director Miao, things are too complicated to explain in a short time, but it's not what you think."
Zhang Changyao didn't want to delay and hurried on his way. He couldn't wait to let Miao Yu go back to her own home.
"Zhang Changyao, take me to see what's going on. What if it's because of the one-child policy?"
Miao Yu grabbed Zhang Changyao's arm and asked him to lead the way.
Zhang Changyao couldn't refuse her, so he had no choice but to lead her to Hou Da Yanjing's house.
"You surnamed Hu, as long as I, Zheng Jingren, live, don't even think about making a move on my daughter."
My son-in-law told me before he left, "If you dare to come, I'll break your legs."
Before the two even entered the courtyard, they could hear Zheng Jingren's cursing from afar.
"You old idiot, you eat my food and wear my clothes, but you turn around and side with Hou the Big Eyes."
I'm the village head, why can't I come to the villagers' homes to understand their situation?
Don't disrespect the village chief. He can give you whatever he says you will, or nothing at all.
Hu Xianfa was not to be outdone. He picked up a tree branch from the ground and was about to "fight" with Zheng Jingren.
"Dad, what are you doing? Village Chief Hu is just coming to sit at our house for a while, why are you chasing him away?"
Zheng Meizhi, heavily pregnant, stood between Zheng Jingren and Hu Xianfa, preventing the two from fighting.
"Village Chief Hu, is things getting difficult in your village these days?"
Unaware of the details, Miao Yu, emboldened by alcohol, shook off Zhang Changyao's arm and went to talk to Hu Xianfa.
"Oh? Director Miao, village work is difficult; the villagers don't listen to us."
When Hu Xianfa saw that it was Miao Yu, he was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly explained in an official tone.
"Director Miao, this is my father. He's old and doesn't know any better."
"You and Village Chief Hu, please come inside and sit down. I'll take my father home."
When Zheng Meizhi saw Miao Yu enter the courtyard, she quickly pinched Zheng Jingren and told him that Miao Yu was her superior.
"Daughter, it's not that your father wants to interfere in your affairs with Hu Xianfa."
Look at Dad's hand, how many fingers are still usable?
You only care about your own pleasure, you don't care whether your father lives or dies.
I heard from others that Big Eyes will be back today. What if he finds out that you and this Village Chief Hu are together again?
Not only will I lose my finger, but your life is in danger too.
