Chapter 117 Drink Bone Soup
A group of children were not afraid of the cold water and were cleaning the big bones. They drooled at the sight of the meat still on them.
"Auntie is so nice, she even bought bones with meat on them."
"Of course. My mother used part of the money she earned from buying herbs to support the family, and the rest was used to buy big bones," Yu Qi explained.
"My mother also said that drinking more bone soup can make the body stronger. She hopes that the children in the digging village will be healthy, so that the future of Yushi Village will be better and better."
The children were very touched. Aunt Qiyan was so kind to them.
Old Lady Yu happily added water to the pot, and Shitou directed them to put all the cleaned large bones into the pot.
Yumian told Shitou to go home and get their own bowls, and also take a few sweet potatoes each, so that they could drink bone soup and eat roasted sweet potatoes later.
Everyone jumped for joy and ran home yelling.
The children's cheers were so loud that they startled everyone in the old house.
Cheng Panpan ran out and stopped a child, "Goudan, what's wrong with you guys? Why are you holding the bowls?"
"Let's go to Aunt Qiyan's place to drink the big bone soup. She's treating us."
"What? Where does she get the money?"
"You're meddling too much. Get out of the way and don't delay me from drinking my soup."
Cheng Panpan staggered after being pushed, "Why are you so fierce, kid?"
Goudan grinned. What was this guy thinking? He didn't stop so many other children but only stopped him. It was obvious that he didn't want him to drink the soup. How mean.
"Why are you grinning?"
"I'll bite you." Goudan snorted twice and ran away.
Yu Jian tugged at her sleeve, "Mom, I want to go too."
Cheng Panpan was already in a bad mood. "Go to hell, how could she be so kind? She must be up to something bad."
"Mom, my aunt is not a bad person at all. Can you please stop thinking about her with your aunt and stepmother all day long?"
"How did you talk?"
“Everyone in the village knows that Auntie killed Sister Daya, and she was not a good person to begin with.
The other day I heard her introducing a way for Er Niang to sell San Ya and Si Ya."
Cheng Panpan was shocked. "Really?"
"You didn't lie to me?"
"Why would I lie to you? Besides, San Ya and Si Ya heard it. They have been acting so strange these past few days and have never laughed.
He is tinkering in the kitchen, and I don't know what he is tinkering with, he is very mysterious.
Cheng Panpan felt a little uneasy, "Go back and pack up."
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Go to your grandparents' house. I haven't been back for a long time."
"Still waiting for dad?"
"Where did he go?"
"At the village chief's place."
"Run over and tell them we're not taking him with us."
"it is good."
Even though there was a wall between them, she felt uneasy in her heart because her eldest and second sisters-in-law had gone crazy.
Although selling a daughter in exchange for a betrothal gift is something that everyone knows, it is not so cruel.
Moreover, even though they sold the goods for so much money, my sister-in-law didn’t cheat them out of a single cent.
I am like a fool, following them around every day.
When Yu Jian ran back, Cheng Panpan had already hidden the valuables and went out with her two children.
The smell of meat and roasted sweet potatoes wafted over Lan Qiyan's house, and the children squatted in the yard and feasted on the food.
This is the delicacy they worked hard for more than an hour.
The stone riding on the wall suddenly yelled, "Fire, fire."
Lan Qiyan opened the door and rushed out, and the children also ran out with their bowls.
The more Mrs. Yu looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong. "Isn't the burning area in the direction of the old house?"
"Mom, the fire is too big and hard to control."
Old Lady Yu shuddered and felt that it was difficult to control herself. What if there was someone in the room?
"Grandma, all the laborers in the village are at the village chief's house."
Old Lady Yu breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and then it took her several breaths to react, "Is there anyone else in the house?"
"Don't worry, mom. I'll go take a look."
"I'll go with you. Yu Xiu, you guys should wash your own dishes after you finish eating."
The group of children agreed well, but they were all thinking about the meat and bone soup on one side and the excitement on the other.
After a long ideological struggle, everyone collectively decided to eat.
When Lan Qiyan and her mother-in-law arrived, many people had already gathered at the door of the old house.
"What's going on? Why is it burning?"
Lan Qiyan picked up a bucket from somewhere and said, "Mom, don't say so much. Go get some water."
"Good good."
She turned around and saw her three sons and fellow villagers also putting out the fire.
For a moment, no one had time to ask what the cause was. The fire was so big that pouring buckets of water on it was of no use.
Qin Xiaozhi was almost exhausted, and Lan Qiyan helped her up, "Take a rest."
"Qi Yan, do you think this fire mainly burned your eldest brother He's second brother's house?"
Lan Qiyan took a closer look and said, "Really? What's going on?"
Then the two of them smiled knowingly.
Another half hour passed. I don't know if it was because the fire was out or because everyone poured too much water on it, but the fire was out and only the frame of the house was left.
With everyone's help, the people in the house were carried out. In the main room, Liu Dani's Malay flower was severely burned, and San Ya and Si Ya were burned so that they were breathing in more than out.
The fire started in the kitchen of the main house. Yu Ziping was very angry. All three of his laborers were burned down, and his eldest brother must be held responsible.
However, the town doctor determined that the three people's skin was severely damaged and they might get infected, develop a fever or even die in the next few days.
Yu Ziping didn't care about anything else, he only cared about how much silver was needed.
When the doctor told him that it would cost twenty taels, he pulled the man back and asked Yu Ziqing to compensate him with twenty taels.
Yu Ziqing was reluctant at first, but after Yu Ziping sent Ren Du to his room, he reluctantly took out twenty taels.
Lan Qiyan couldn't help but sigh. Liu Dani's retribution had come.
Originally, Da Ya and Er Ya were the ones who cooked for the eldest wife's family, but now one of them is dead and the other is gone, and Tie Xiu Xiu doesn't work. Liu Dani could go chat with Ma Laihua while cooking, which led to a fire in the kitchen.
Yu Ziqing didn't even take her to see a doctor. He just applied some herbal paste on her and then threw her in the utility room.
He groaned in pain every day. Yu Jin was busy taking care of the pregnant Tie Xiu Xiu, and Yu Yin was busy repairing the house, otherwise it would delay his getting married.
The three pillars of the second house have fallen. Yu Ziping can't do any work at all, and Yune and Yuhua are so spoiled by Malayhua that they can't do anything.
Yu Ziping was cursing all day long, and the father and his two sons couldn't eat or sleep well.
The third house was not affected much. Cheng Panpan and Yu Yuzitian were both very timid. They didn't want to be implicated and suffer retribution.
The most pitiful people in this incident are San Ya and Si Ya. They are really brave. They hurt themselves by a thousand and injure the enemy by eight hundred.
She doesn't recommend using this trick because it's too painful.
When Qin Xiaozhi came to visit, she said that Yu Ziping had taken his two sons to Widow Li's house.
"What? Xiaozhi, what did you say?" Old Lady Yu's voice almost sent Qin Xiaozhi away.
