Chapter 1563 Partial Eyed Mom 39
After work at noon, Yuanchun's affairs spread from Aunt Liu.
Word spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. By evening, everyone in this small village of dozens of households knew that Han Zhiqing had a mother who was not a human.
Zhang Guozhen and Su Lingling, who had already taken leave and were about to come to the Red Star Brigade to settle accounts with Yuanchun, had no idea that Yuanchun had made preparations in advance and had already ruined their reputation in the village.
They were still dreaming that once they found Yuanchun, they would take all her money away from her.
The money from selling the house and working, as well as the savings that Zhang Guozhen had accumulated over more than ten years, and the savings and pension that Han Yi left for Yuanchun before his death.
When she went to work in the afternoon, Yuanchun saw another field with all the weeds pulled out. Her task was once again completed by Song Cheng during the lunch break.
Yuanchun had no choice but to go up the mountain carrying the basket.
I caught a pheasant and twelve pheasant eggs on the mountain, picked a basket of pine mushrooms, red mushrooms and black fungus, and when I was going down the mountain, I saw Songcheng and a few mountain artillerymen on the mountainside.
Yuanchun called out to them from a distance, "Brother Songcheng, Shanpao, Goudan, Erniu, you are collecting firewood."
“Sister Han, you also went up the mountain.”
“Sister Han, at noon we went to the field with Brother Cheng to help you pull weeds.”
"Sister Han, Brother Cheng said that you are from the city and work slowly. He was afraid that you could not complete the task, so he asked us to help."
"I asked the scorekeeper, and she said she gave you six work points yesterday, but there was more work today, so she gave you eight work points."
Several children came over enthusiastically, and Yuanchun thanked them very much, "Thank you, you have worked hard. Here, these candies are my reward for you, keep them for yourself."
He took out a handful of fruit candies and gave ten to each of the three people.
Shan Pao and Goudan were beaming with joy, but Erniu was frowning. "I definitely can't hide so much candy. If my brother finds out, I'll definitely be beaten by grandma. Brother Cheng, can I hide the candy at your house? I can ask you for one whenever I want to eat it."
"Yeah, I won't eat you, just count them."
Erniu ate one immediately and gave the remaining nine to Song Cheng.
Song Cheng counted it again before carefully putting it in his pocket.
Song Cheng said, "Let's go down the mountain early. I have to help Xiaochun fetch water today."
"Well, I have two bundles of firewood already. I can't carry any more."
"Let's go, let's go down the mountain."
Erniu was also laughing and carrying a load of firewood down the mountain.
Erniu and his elder brother Daniu were not born to the same mother. Daniu's mother was the cousin of his grandmother's sister's in-law, so they were related relatives. Daniu's mother died during childbirth, leaving behind a newborn Daniu, who was raised by his grandmother.
Because he is the eldest grandson, Daniu’s grandmother loves him very much.
But he was very disgusted with Erniu, the son born to his second daughter-in-law. He would find excuses to beat Erniu at any time and often punished him by not allowing him to eat.
When he was very young, Erniu was hungry, so he went to Songcheng to ask for help from his friends.
But no one in the village was rich, and every household was short of food. Song Cheng and his men often helped him with the food they saved from their own food.
When Erniu grew up a little and realized the importance of food, he went up the mountain to find food by himself. He picked wild vegetables, mushrooms, and fungus, but instead of taking them home, he dried them secretly and hid them in Song Cheng's house.
When I was hungry, I went to Song Cheng's house to cook a bowl of mushroom soup.
Sometimes he would steal a potato or sweet potato at home and hide it when his grandmother wasn't paying attention, and then eat it when his grandmother punished him by not allowing him to eat.
I would also secretly go to the vegetable garden to pick cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce to eat.
In short, after he was eight or nine years old, he was no longer hungry and could always get something to eat.
Song Cheng was used to Erniu hiding things in his house.
