Traveling through ancient times to survive
Chapter 61 Borrowing Oilcloth
Zhao Chengshan was very anxious: "Dad, you heard it, now is a critical moment, one day later to move it up will increase the danger, we don't have time to slowly cut wood to build the roof, we have to go to my second brother's house to borrow some oilcloth."
Zhao Yuanmu nodded in agreement, then turned around and said, "Go borrow it, old woman."
Sun Xiaocao refused to do it. If it were in the past, she would definitely go without saying a word. But after the second son wanted to break off the engagement last time, Sun Xiaocao knew that this son was completely disappointed with her and had no feelings for her anymore. She had already lost this son, and if she went again, she would only bring humiliation upon herself. She would not go and lose face.
Zhao Yuanmu was unable to call out to anyone, and was very dissatisfied: "Old woman, didn't you hear me?"
"I'm not going anyway. You go if you want to go." Sun Xiaocao refused expressionlessly.
"Why don't you go?"
"I just don't want to go, okay?"
The two started arguing, and Zhao Chengshan was anxious and urged, "Dad, Mom, let's not waste time, can we go together?"
"No!" The two said in unison, facing the outside world in unison.
"You make the decision yourself. At your age, do you think your parents should take care of everything? Is that right?" Sun Xiaocao was smart for once and was unwilling to take the lead.
Zhao Yuanmu felt that it was not a wise move to visit the second brother now as he had just fallen out with him.
"Your mother is right. You have been a father for so many years, and you still have to trouble us old bones."
Zhao Chengshan was stunned. As the second son's biological parents, you are naturally in a high position. You can use filial piety to pressure me not to go. How dare I go? He had to give up this idea.
"Well, since you two elders don't want to, let's just use wood to build it. Our family will have to work harder. We have to build it even if we don't sleep tonight. We'll go down the mountain later and call Cheng Ge'er to help."
"No, Cheng is a scholar. His hands are for writing. How can he do rough work? What if he gets hurt?"
When Mrs. Zhao heard that her precious son was asked to work, she was the first to disagree.
"Old Third's family, you come with me."
Before Mrs. Zhao San had time to refuse, Mrs. Zhao Da immediately gave a reason that she could not refuse.
"This shed is not occupied by our eldest family. If you want to hide behind it and take advantage of it, don't even think about it."
Zhao Sansao's thoughts were discovered, and she looked embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, what you said is too harsh. I didn't say I won't go."
The two of them walked through the messy camp and finally found where Zhao Chengchuan's family was.
Mrs. Zhao deliberately shouted loudly, making sure that everyone in the village knew that the second brother's family was unfilial to their parents.
"Second brother's family, your family is so good, the shed has been built, and the family belongings have been moved in, but you don't care about anything else. Don't you care about your parents at all?"
The family's relaxed expressions disappeared, and Wang Mei angrily accused them, "We are a separate family! When our village just dug a road, you came to our house and took away most of our food, without caring about our life or death. A while ago, you kicked your daughter out of the house, and the baby's father took in your daughter out of pity, but you are not grateful at all. What do we want for you to let us go?"
Aunt Wang chimed in: "That's right! Your family was disgusted with Chengchuan for separating them first. Now that they have been separated, they are two families! How dare you be so thick-skinned to come and bully us now!"
When the people around heard the big gossip, they all stretched their necks, waiting for the follow-up content.
Mrs. Zhao didn't care at all and admitted: "Even if the family is divided, they are still your parents. You should respect them!"
It seems that the food robbery is real. This family is really cruel. Strange looks came from all around. Zhao Sansao's expression changed slightly. She didn't want others to point fingers at her. She still had her face to save. Zhao Sansao immediately interrupted Zhao Dasao and diverted her attention.
"Second brother, you had time to help your neighbor move yesterday, but you didn't come to help your biological parents. What's the logic behind this?"
When Li Wu heard Zhao Sansao mention him, he answered first: "Excuse me for interrupting, but Brother Chengchuan is helping me, but it's not for nothing."
Mrs. Zhao looked at the two of them suspiciously: "You paid?"
Zhao Qing was the first to admit: "Of course, where do you think the tarpaulin on the shed came from? My family doesn't have the money to buy such expensive things."
Mrs. Zhao was skeptical: "Didn't your family buy the oilcloth yourself?"
Zhao Deyan quickly shook his head and denied: "Of course not, aunt, if you don't believe me, you can take a closer look. All my family's belongings are here. We are very poor and can't afford to buy good things."
All the things that revealed their wealthy conditions were hidden in the cave last night, and Zhao Chengchuan was not afraid of inspection at all.
At first glance, everyone saw that there wasn't much under the shed, just some charcoal, a few bags of food, pots and pans and other kitchen utensils, and a few buckets piled in the corner serving as a kitchen.
Several beds in the house were moved up and put together. Several wooden boxes were stacked beside the beds to separate them from the kitchen. Wang Mei reached out and opened several wooden boxes, which were filled with clothes for the whole family and spare sheets and bedding.
In the corner opposite the kitchen, there were some farm tools, some sundries, and a dining table. Everything was clearly visible, and there was nothing valuable.
Zhao Chengchuan thought, it seems that the purpose of these two people coming here this time is the oilcloth, fortunately Brother Li cooperated with him smartly.
Wang Mei deliberately showed her dissatisfaction: "Sister-in-law, do you believe it now? You want to grab all the good things."
Mrs. Zhao thought quickly and denied it flatly: "Bullshit, who cares if you have good things or not! I came here to ask you to help my parents with work, do you have the nerve to watch my parents drag their old bodies up and down?"
Li Wu interrupted: "No, I haven't finished moving my things yet, and they still have to help me move. You don't think you can afford such a big piece of oilcloth just for one day's help? What good things are you thinking!"
Mrs. Zhao didn't want to miss the free labor, and she kept pestering Zhao Chengchuan: "If you don't have time, ask your wife and children to do the filial duty for you."
"Lady, didn't you hear me? I was talking about their family!"
Li Wu's low voice came, and Mrs. Zhao was about to lose her temper. What does our family affairs have to do with you? She turned back angrily and saw the man in front of her was tall and strong. Because of work, his thick clothes were a little thinner, and his strong muscles seemed to burst through his clothes. At this moment, the black-faced sturdy man was glaring at her fiercely. Mrs. Zhao's anger was like a deflated ball, and it quickly deflated.
"Then you guys help this eldest brother first, and then go help our parents when you're done. I'll be leaving first." Mrs. Zhao left in a hurry after saying this.
Li Wu's sight turned to Zhao Sansao, who had not had time to escape. The pressure was instantly put on Zhao Sansao. Zhao Sansao was almost sweating and she laughed dryly twice.
"Haha, second brother, you guys go ahead and do your work. I have to go back to work. Don't see me off!" Zhao Sansao said as she ran, "Sister-in-law, wait for me!"
Someone who originally wanted to borrow oilcloth from Li Wu secretly gave up the courage to borrow things after seeing Li Wu's strong martial virtue.
Forget it, using wood is less troublesome and it’s more sturdy.
