The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 359 The Prodigal Son Smashes the Jar

Liu Laoer, who was pushed off the bed by him, was about to get angry when he heard the sound of a broken clay jar and started to panic.

He quickly got up, lit the oil lamp with a match, and saw that the jar was broken.

On the other side, Liu Lao Da and his wife and Liu Lao Tou and his wife, who heard the screams and the broken jar, lit up their lamps and came over to see what was happening. They saw Guan Liangzhou still sitting on the ground and the broken jar.

Old Man Liu and Old Brother Liu both looked gloomy. Such a large earthenware jar would cost several dollars to buy, and they had used this jar for decades to store grain.

Without thinking about dividing the money tomorrow, Aunt Liu and her daughter-in-law just cleaned the jar yesterday and hung it outside to dry, and then placed it here, waiting to be filled with grain.

It was broken in one go.

Several people didn't know what to say.

Uncle Liu suddenly picked up a pole leaning against the wall and started to hit Liu Lao Er:

"You prodigal son. Did the jar irritate you? This big bed can't accommodate you. Get out of here and sleep in the dam."

He can't scold others, he can only scold his own son.

Liu Laoer felt very aggrieved.

I had worked all day and was sleeping soundly, but not only was I pushed out of bed, I was also beaten in the middle of the night.

The eldest brother Liu quickly blocked the pole that his father was about to chop down. If the pole had really hit him, the second brother would have been injured:

"Dad, it's the middle of the night, don't hit him. It's already broken, there's no point in hitting him."

The eldest son's wife and Aunt Liu looked gloomy and squatted down to pick up the broken jar.

Look at the bottom part:

"Mom, I think we can use this to feed the ducks."

Aunt Liu sighed heavily. What else could she do? She piled up the broken pieces and threw them away.

Liu Laoda's wife wanted to carry the remaining half of the jar out, and Liu Laoer hurried over:

"Sister-in-law, let me do it. Be careful, the corners here might hurt someone."

Uncle Liu snorted heavily and went out under the push of his eldest son, leaving Guan Liangzhou sitting on the ground, watching everything stupidly.

The whole family who had come out did not go to sleep either. For them, a broken jar meant the loss of wealth.

Aunt Liu came out and then she scolded Liu Lao Er:

"How did you sleep? I put the tank behind the head of the bed. How did you knock it over? Did you have a fight?"

After the second child put the broken jar away, he felt very aggrieved:

"It really had nothing to do with me. I slept on the outside and he was sleeping inside. I don't know what went wrong in the middle of the night. Not only did he kick me off the bed, but he also rolled down and hit the tank."

Boss Liu came over and asked in a low voice:

"I heard him scream so loudly, did you punish him?"

Liu Lao Er felt even more aggrieved:

"I was tired after a whole day, but I slept so well. You know, I usually don't move when I sleep. I don't know where I bumped into him. Mom, please arrange for him to sleep somewhere else, or let Ah Xing sleep with me."

Boss Liu glared at him:

"Besides your room, where do you want him to sleep?"

Liu Laoer was so angry that he ran to the edge of the dam and squatted there, refusing to go back to sleep. Old people don't sleep much, and after all this commotion, another jar was lost. Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu couldn't sleep, so they also sat in the yard, using the moonlight, and brought a bundle of straw to the yard to twist the straw rope.

Aunt Liu came over and slapped her son:

"Go to my bed and sleep for a while. You have to get up early to serve the dishes. Mom will call you later."

I still feel sorry for my own son. Why is the child not sleeping in the middle of the night?

Liu Lao Er turned around and saw his elder brother holding a hoe:

"Brother, what are you doing with the hoe?"

"The manure pit is a little collapsed. I can't sleep. Why don't we dig the side and build it up? If Comrade Liang hadn't taught us how to make compost, do you think these vegetables would grow so well? The pit can't collapse."

Liu Lao Da is Liang Xinyue's most loyal fan. He has been working in Liang Xinyue's valley for some time, and he should have made some money, but Uncle Liu still saves money and still eats two meals a day. They are preparing to build a new house.

Uncle Liu and his brother Uncle Liu Erye had agreed that Uncle Liu, the eldest brother of Uncle Liu Erye's family, would save all the money they earned in Liang Xinyue's valley, and the two families would build a new house together in the future.

They couldn’t afford a new house, and the second son and Liu Erye’s family had two sons, none of whom had married.

They were still looking forward to the meeting tomorrow to divide some money, which would be almost what they had planned. Then they could buy wood to build a house.

Liu Lao Er naturally knew about these plans. He didn't work as hard as his brother to earn the money, so Liu Lao Er picked up another hoe:

"I'll go with you."

Just as they were about to leave, Guan Liangzhou came out of the house:

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I... I bumped into a mouse when I turned over, and I got scared in my sleep, so I kicked Brother Liu down. I was the one who knocked over the jar, so I'll pay for it."

No one responded to his words.

The Liu family was honest. When he said he would pay, no one in the family dared to say that he should pay. They all thought he was from the province.

The result was that except for Liu Sanmei and A Xing, no one in the Liu family could sleep anymore.

Guan Liangzhou wanted to sleep, but he didn't dare to go into the house alone.

The Liu brothers went to the fields and dug mud under the moonlight to reinforce the edges of the manure pit.

Captain Liu knew about this before dawn, because there were patrols in the village every night. After the patrols came around, they found out about this. Captain Liu happened to get up early because he was worried about today's meeting, so he heard what they said.

Now, Liang Xinyue wanted to get rid of this person's strange idea, so she just told him to speak.

Guan Liangzhou didn't sleep last night. It was late at night and he didn't dare to go anywhere. He just walked around or squatted in the yard.

The breakfast prepared by Aunt Liu was refreshing porridge and steamed cornmeal buns.

It was not fine flour ground by machine, but corn dregs pushed out by a mill. Ten-year-old Ah Xing would soak the steamed buns in porridge for a while before eating. Others were busy doing things, so they ate quickly and left, while Ah Xing washed the dishes.

After he took a bite, he chewed it for a long time but couldn't swallow it. His throat was sore. Finally, he couldn't stand the hunger anymore and just drank the bowl of porridge that was given to him.

It's not enough to satisfy your hunger.

Early this morning, he went to help serve the dishes with panda eyes, but he was not assigned by Liang Xinyue at the moment.

Instead of doing the easy work like before, I was assigned to count quantities and so on.

Instead, he was assigned by Captain Liu to get on the truck. There was a basket of vegetables weighing over 100 pounds, and Liu Laoer grabbed it and lifted it onto his shoulders and carried it to the side of the truck. The people standing on the truck took it and put it on the truck.

But he couldn't do that. He even hurt his feet when he was carried by others.
