Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

"Auntie, please come in."

Xiaoyue invited the village chief's wife into the yard.

"I...Aunt, please wait for me. I'll put the food in the kitchen, and then we can go inside and sit together."

"No, Xiaoyue, I still have to go back to cook. Put the vegetables in the kitchen, give me the basket, and I'll be back."

The village head's wife stood in the yard and did not follow Xiaoyue into the kitchen. Xiaoyue was very satisfied with this move.

The village chief's wife was so enthusiastic, which was completely different from the lukewarm attitude she showed when they first met. Xiaoyue guessed that the village chief must have said something to her.

As long as it does not cause any harm, Xiaoyue is happy to accept other people's kindness.

When I came out of the kitchen, there was a roast chicken in the basket.

When the village head's wife took it, she found something inside, and at the same time she smelled the aroma of roast chicken amidst the strong smell of medicine. She took the basket, but she didn't know whether to take it back or take it.

Xiaoyue saw that the village head's wife didn't know what to do and wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to do so, so she pushed the basket into her arms and said generously, "Aunt, I won't be polite to you, and you don't have to be polite to me either. I just happened to need your help, and you came. What a coincidence."

"Ah? Xiaoyue, if you need anything from me, just tell me. We can't talk to you about other places, but in Xiaoqing Village, you can find me if you need anything."

The village head's wife smelled the roast chicken and accepted the basket with the strength of Xiaoyue's hand. She also felt that although Xiaoyue looked ugly, she was unexpectedly so capable and nice to talk to. Her previous impression of her as ignorant of the ways of the world changed all of a sudden, and the little reluctance she had before coming here also disappeared.

"It's like this, auntie. I went up the mountain a few days ago and saved an old woman who was collecting herbs. She gave me a prescription for treating my face. My face can't be exposed to the sun during the treatment, so I have to stay at home these days. The old woman said that I should eat more fresh vegetables during the treatment. But you know there are not many vegetables in my backyard, so I thought of troubling auntie to bring me some every day."

"It's easy. I'll take care of it. Xiaoyue, are you serious about what you said? Is there really a prescription that can cure your face?"

"That old woman said so. I bought all the medicine from Baicaotang and I'm boiling it right now."

"I thought so. I smelled the medicine at the door. I was wondering what happened to Xiaoyue. But I couldn't ask. In this case, I am really happy for you."

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll be staying at home these days to treat my face and won't go anywhere. I'll trouble you with the dishes."

"No problem, no problem. I'll take care of it. Don't worry."

"Then I won't keep you here. I still have to look after the medicine pot."

"Okay, okay, you're busy. Auntie will come again tomorrow."

When Xiaoyue saw the village head's wife off, she found several figures hiding outside the door. The village head's wife frowned slightly and glanced at the Tibetans. Xiaoyue pretended to know nothing.

Close the door and live your own life.

As long as they don't come into the house to bother her, she won't care.

The village chief's wife returned home and told the village chief what happened. When she took out the roast chicken wrapped in oil paper, she also saw ten copper coins lying in the basket.

The roast chicken is a token of gratitude, and the copper coins are the money for the food.

Fresh vegetables in this season cost only one copper coin per pound at the market, but Xiaoyue gave ten copper coins at once. The village head and his wife knew whether a basket of vegetables was worth ten copper coins.

The village chief's wife weighed a copper coin in her hand and looked at the village chief.

The village chief knew that his wife was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others. She liked people based on appearance, and she liked those who were clean and pretty, efficient, and good at talking and dealing with people.

It was obvious that Xiaoyue, apart from being pretty, had a bad temper towards his wife.

When he came home from the fields, he heard some children in the village shouting something ugly, and saw what happened by the river from afar. He didn't expect that even after he repeatedly warned them, there were still people in the village who couldn't control their mouths and let their own children stir up trouble.

If they really pissed people off and reported the case to Li Chun, the people in their village would never be able to sell mountain products at Yunlai Inn again.

Although Yunlai Inn was not the only one that bought mountain products, the prices they offered were the most fair, and they never looked down on mountain people like them who came from other counties.

Life is not easy for the villagers. They finally have a good income, and they can't let those short-sighted people ruin it.

When he came back, he asked his wife to pick the best vegetables from his own vegetable garden and quickly send them to Xiaoyue.

One is to build relationships, and the other is to let my wife find out about Xiaoyue's situation.

When she went there, the wife was a little reluctant, but she came back happily after a while. She gave him a roast chicken and took the initiative to talk about her experience in the past few days. She also said something about treating her face and asked her wife to bring her food, but she didn't mention the river. It seems that Xiaoyue didn't take the incident to heart, and she didn't blame the children in the village.

After all, children speak without restraint. Besides, Xiaoyue is almost thirty years old, and her face has remained the same for many years. I guess she should have gotten used to it.

The village chief was relieved. Seeing the copper coins in his wife's hand, he said, "Since you gave it to me, just keep it. I'll give you more food later, and you should take care of me in the future."

"Look at what you said. Do I need your reminder? I didn't know."

"What did you say? Xiaoyue got a prescription for treating her face? And she even made the medicine herself?"

"Yeah. The smell of medicine is really strong. It's all over the yard."

"You said she told you that she saved someone in the mountains and that someone gave it to you?"

"Ah. Can I still lie to you?"

"No, I didn't mean that."

The village chief's wife rolled her eyes at him. She turned and went into the kitchen, holding a roast chicken in one hand and a copper coin in the other. The village chief stood in the yard with an empty basket in his hand, looking dazed.

It seemed like his wife glared at him just now.

What did he say and his wife glared at him?

While the village chief was still thinking, he saw his daughter-in-law come out of the kitchen and go to the backyard with a basket in her hand.

Why go to the backyard? Aren't the vegetables in the kitchen?

No, it smells like roast chicken.

The village chief chased his wife to the backyard and saw his beloved wife hanging the basket into the well.

The smell of roast chicken faded as the basket disappeared.

He wanted to take a sip, but he didn't say it out loud.

What is this doing, wife?

"What are you looking at? Go back and eat."

"That roast chicken?"

"What roast chicken? Didn't you see me hanging it in the well?"

"We're not eating tonight?"

"What are you eating? Why are you eating such greasy food so late at night?"

"That, that..."

I want to have a drink, that's the food.

"Well, wait until the children come back tomorrow and eat together."

The village chief smacked his lips, said nothing, and followed his wife back to the front yard in dejection.
