Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Chapter 141: The Nanny in Troubled Times 7

Old man Zhang was sleeping soundly, and when he was woken up, he was furious and grabbed Zhang Wangshi and started to beat her. He has never had a good temper. When he was young, it was common for him to beat Zhang Wangshi. He would fight if he didn't agree with her. It was only in recent years when he got older and had grandchildren that he became better.

The so-called better was that he would not fight in front of outsiders. When they were alone in the room, he would fight without mercy. But he never hit people in the face. Zhang Wangshi did not see any injuries on her face. Not to mention outsiders, even her family did not know about it and thought he had changed.

Zhang Wangshi was hit for a while before she realized: "Old man, I was wrong, stop hitting me!"

"What's wrong? It's like a ghost screaming and crying so early in the morning!" After beating someone, old man Zhang vented his anger and was in the mood to find out what happened.

"Old man, my hair, I have lost all my hair." After saying this, Zhang Wang looked up and found that Old Man Zhang's hair was also gone. She quickly pointed at his head and said, "You have lost your hair too. Have we offended the gods?"

Old man Zhang touched his head and found it was bald. He looked at the pillow and saw it was full of fallen hair. What was going on? He had lived for decades and had never heard of such a thing. His wife's hair was also falling out. They were both losing their hair at the same time. How could he explain himself?

Sick? What disease caused hair loss? He could imagine what the villagers would say behind their backs. Forget it, let's find another excuse, saying that they had lice and that's why they shaved off all their hair.

As for whether the villagers believed it or not, they could believe it or not. He could just fool them on the surface, and he couldn't control them behind their backs. It was all the damn woman's fault. If she hadn't cried so hard in the morning, she might have been able to hide it by finding a suitable reason. But now it's difficult.

Seeing that Old Man Zhang's eyes kept turning, Zhang Wang asked carefully, "It's daybreak now. How are we going to get out?"

"Go out normally, and if anyone asks you, just say you have lice."

"The eldest son and his friends asked." Mrs. Zhang Wang didn't know whether she should tell the truth to her sons. She didn't want to tell them, for fear that they would dislike her and blame her for offending the gods in heaven.

Old man Zhang was not afraid. What if he was a god? He hadn't done anything. If he was really punished by the gods for doing bad things, why were so many bad guys fine? Not only were they fine, but each of them lived much better than them.

Humph! Not to mention those far away, the biggest landlord nearby, Mr. Lin, lives a good life. He has done all kinds of bad things but still has many wives and concubines and many children. He only hopes that he can have half of Mr. Lin's blessings in this life.

Zhang Da, who was sleeping alone in the woodshed, was awakened by Zhang Wangshi's scream. He waited for a long time but still saw his parents coming out of the room. He had no choice but to stand at the window and shout, "Dad, Mom! Are you all right?"

Old man Zhang pushed Zhang Wang and said, "Get up and work." He fell back into bed and continued to take a nap. Even if he couldn't sleep, he would lie down for a while.

Zhang Wangshi walked out of the house with a bald head. Zhang Da saw her and asked stupidly, "Mom, where is your hair?"

"What are you asking? Have you fetched water? Have you swept the floor? Have you checked the fields? Have you watered the vegetable garden?" She didn't dare to speak loudly to Old Man Zhang, but her sons still dared to scold her.

Zhang shook his head. He did the same work every day. Why rush? It was okay to do it later. He hadn't seen his son since he got up. It wouldn't be too late to hug him before going to work. He was a stubborn man. It was useless for Zhang Wangshi to scold him. He had been used to scolding him since he was a child. He was stubborn. It didn't matter whether he was scolded or not.

Zhang Da was only the first one. When Zhang Er and others got up and saw Zhang Wang's shiny head, they opened their mouths in surprise, but did not dare to ask more questions. They were not like Zhang Da who could not read the expressions.

Zhang Wang was very satisfied with their attitude, but it was a pity that she couldn't stay at home all the time. Not to mention working in the fields, she also had to go to the river to wash clothes. How could she stay at home all the time?

When they saw that Old Man Zhang was also bald during dinner, the whole family was stunned. They didn't dare to say anything, but they were thinking a lot in their hearts.

After dinner, the family went out to work, leaving Ye Zhiqiu at home laughing secretly. The scene of old man Zhang beating people must have been very exciting, but it was a pity that she didn't get to see it live.

The system waited until she had laughed enough before speaking: "What about the child? He hasn't eaten yet."

"What? Old man Zhang and Mrs. Zhang Wang don't care, and Zhang Da doesn't care either?" She didn't want to feed the ungrateful person, but she couldn't bear to see a newborn baby starving, especially since this baby came out of her belly. She couldn't do it.

Forget it, forget it, just feed the baby and talk about the future later. Why should she bother with a baby?

The system waited until she was done feeding before saying, "Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Zhang Wang are still worrying about their hair, so they don't have time to take care of the child. Zhang Da thought the two old people were feeding the child, and he didn't ask a single question. He even smiled foolishly when he saw the child crying, praising the child for crying healthily and vigorously, and that the child must be easy to raise."

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but swear. The whole family was insane, and the children born in this family were pitiful. Before she left, she left more money for her parents, hoping that they would take care of her more when they were free.

After feeding the child, she took out the food from the space, ate and drank her fill, and then went to sleep. She ate and slept here, but she didn't know that Zhang Wang was washing clothes by the river, being surrounded and laughed at by a group of people.

"Wang, why are you bald? Are you planning to become a nun?"

"It's so funny. What kind of nun she wants to be depends on whether the nun in the temple will accept her. Who doesn't want to go to the temple to have a good meal? Unfortunately, the nun doesn't accept everyone. I heard that the first requirement for them is that the nun must be literate."

The two women who usually didn't get along with Zhang Wangshi the most joked with each other, saying that they had lice, as if no one else had them. Lice were not uncommon, and they could be cleaned by combing them a few times a day, so there was no need to shave one's head.

It's okay to be bald, but I haven't heard of anyone helping Zhang Wangshi shave her head. Do they think they are stupid and believe whatever they say? Humph, old man Zhang has also become bald, and I don't know what the couple has done. Maybe they are thieves in the middle of the night, and it's not easy to be caught if they shave their heads.

This rumor gradually spread in the village, and it became that Old Man Zhang and Zhang Wang secretly shaved their heads to steal money from the temple. No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor to the Buddha. The villagers are hungry, but the Buddha has plenty of food. They dared to plot against the Buddha, so they deserved not to have grandchildren, and even if they did, they couldn't keep them.

Ye Zhiqiu heard this rumor when she was out of confinement. A young wife kindly told her that she should give a few quail eggs from her space to the other party. Even a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat. She was relieved to receive the other party's grateful eyes.

Don't owe anyone a favor, even if the system told her the gossip in the village, she would still accept it. She also wanted to develop a few spies in the village, so that when she left, someone could report the news, and if anything happened, she could come back in time to watch the fun, and she couldn't rely on the system.
