Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Ye Zhiqiu called Zhang Da over and asked, "Have you heard the rumors in the village?"

"What rumors?" Zhang Da really didn't know anything. He just kept his head down and worked, and never cared about the rumors. He couldn't even eat enough, and he still had time to gossip. He must not be hungry enough.

Every day, he was so hungry that his legs were weak. Who would have the energy to spread gossip? Zhang Da looked down on those who spread gossip. It was just that his hair was gone. What was the big deal? It was cooler to be bald in the summer. He just wanted to shave his head.

Ye Zhiqiu pointed at the child in the cradle and said, "How can it not have an impact? When the child grows up, he will be known as a thief. Which good girl would dare to marry him? Do you still want to have grandchildren in the future?"

Zhang Da thought about the horrible scene and shook his head, "No, I'll go find my parents and ask them to take care of themselves and not affect our son's future marriage."

Zhang Da was already thinking about having a grandchild when his child was less than 100 days old. He was really anxious because other boys his age in the village already had sons who were already able to help with cooking, but he was just born and was already far behind.

Zhang Wangshi was laughed at by the villagers, but she didn't expect to be questioned by her son. In fact, they had heard the gossip in the village in the past few days, but no one said it to their faces, so they didn't know the specific content.

I didn't expect that the villagers would falsely accuse them of stealing. What kind of damn crime did they come up with? How could they let the old lady from the family go to the city to be a wet nurse with such a bad reputation?

"Old man, it must be those people in the village who are coveting this job and spreading strange things behind my back. You have to find a way." Zhang Wangshi was just being arrogant in the house. If she really encountered any problems, she would rely on old man Zhang to find a solution.

Old man Zhang took a puff of his water pipe and said, "I'll go to the village. We can't just let this go. You go to the clan leader's house. Don't go empty-handed. Take some sweet potatoes."

The old couple went their separate ways, and Zhang Da happily went back to report to Ye Zhiqiu. The child just woke up, and he wanted to hold him, so Ye Zhiqiu let him hold him, but based on her observations during this period, she was afraid that someone was going to be in trouble.

Sure enough, Zhang Da was covered in urine from the child. Children have to pee as soon as they wake up. Ye Zhiqiu usually helps the child pee before holding him, and he has never been unlucky.

Zhang Da didn't feel unlucky at all. This was boy's urine and he would be happy to have another one.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't bear to look at it. The two, the old and the little, looked so silly and really alike. The more he looked at them, the uglier they looked. He rolled his eyes at her face, thinking that she hadn't inherited any of her father's genes. He hoped that the eldest daughter, who hadn't been found yet, wouldn't look like her father.

She has already finished her confinement, and will go to the orphanage to look for her child when she enters the city. She doesn't know when the master in the city will leave. "System, is the rumor wrong? It's just to find a nanny for a child, why is it taking so long? The talent show won't take long."

"No, they want to wait until the weather is cooler before returning to the city, and bring this year's new grain with them." The system knows that summer in the city is not easy. There are many houses and people, and there is no electricity, not to mention air conditioning and refrigerators. It is not as comfortable as summer in the countryside.

"Well, I also miss air conditioning and refrigerators, one of the greatest inventions of mankind." No matter how cool it is in the countryside, it is not as comfortable as an air-conditioned room, and there is also a refrigerator. It is useless to keep things fresh in the space. She is thinking about the cooling effect. A glass of iced Coke is refreshing on a hot day.

"Host, just wait a little longer. If you live a few more decades, you will have air conditioning and a refrigerator."

"If I live for another few decades, I will be old and toothless. Will I still be able to eat popsicles?" Ye Zhiqiu decided to brush his teeth with Lengshenling toothpaste from today on to protect his teeth so that he could still have a good mouthful of teeth decades later and eat whatever he wants without being afraid of the cold or the sourness.

Everyone was having a great time chatting with each other, and Zhang Da was also happy holding the child.

Old Man Zhang and Zhang Wangshi, who had just returned from outside, were not very happy. The two of them went out to cause trouble but to no avail. The village chief was willing to deal with people who talked nonsense, but the premise was that Old Man Zhang could catch the person, preferably in public, so that he, as the village chief, would have a reason to come forward.

Zhang Wangshi was even worse. The clan leader didn't like to take care of things. It was still a different era. There was no benefit in being a clan leader. There were so many problems. Whoever wanted to be a clan leader could be the clan leader. She gave the sweet potatoes to the clan leader's wife. People said it more clearly. When confronting people with mixed surnames, it was enough for the clan members to help and say a good word. Any more depended on what they could offer.

All of this was passed down from our ancestors. You can help, but you can't ask for help for free. If you don't show any respect, who will be willing to step forward when you encounter problems in the future?

Finally, when the old couple met, they could only ask the clan leader and the village chief to clarify for their own family respectively. As for catching the person who spread the rumors behind the scenes, it became an impossible thing.

Zhang Da was not picky. As long as it did not affect his son's future marriage, it didn't matter whether he caught the person or not. If he really caught the person, what would happen? Would he beat him up or make him pay compensation?

Every household in the village is equally poor. They can't afford compensation even if they want it. Even sweet potatoes are a popular commodity. It's better not to catch them. No matter who spread the rumor, no matter who has problems in the future, they will just tell the truth.

Zhang Dacai doesn't care who does bad things, in his eyes they are all the same, as long as they are labeled as thieves, no one will pay attention to their own family.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Zhang Duoduo a few times, trying to determine whether he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? His idea was simple and crude, but it seemed that the effect would not be bad if he really did it this way. If they were all bad guys, they would not have to worry about being discriminated against.

Thinking about a village with a reputation for thieves, Ye Zhiqiu felt that future village chiefs would definitely have a headache. In order to make the village chiefs more worried, she should also do something. Not only the reputation of thieves, but also stories of stealing and adultery, and other moral degradation stories should be vigorously publicized.

With the help of the system, no matter how big or small the matter in the village is hidden from her. Even the dead are made into stories, not to mention the living. As long as they have done bad things, they will never escape.

After spreading the gossip, the system also feels great about doing bad things, which is much easier and more interesting than doing good things. It also wants to be a bad system, refusing to be a good person or do good things, and even more refusing to be a good system.

Zhang Wangshi thought that because of her bad reputation as a thief, the selection of a wet nurse for Mr. Huang's family had nothing to do with her family. She never expected that one day she would be called out by name by the village chief.

"Village chief, what good thing can you do to take care of me?"

"Bring your daughter-in-law here for Master Huang to see."

"Ah, village chief, this is not good, right? As a mother-in-law, I cannot force my daughter-in-law to do anything to let my son down, no matter how much you give me."

The village chief was so angry at Zhang Wangshi that he yelled, "Bullshit! The city master has seen all kinds of beauties, why would he be interested in a country woman? Do you want to bring her with you? If you don't, forget about your job as a wet nurse."

He still wanted to earn this month's money, but unfortunately Mr. Huang was picky. He disliked the second son's daughter-in-law because she was unrefined, sloppy and lazy. In the end, he had to let some bastard in the village take the money.
