Chapter 257 They're Divorced, Who's Still Pampering Them?
Chapter 257 They're Divorced, Who's Still Pampering Them?
The other victims were whispering to each other. They all knew that the Jiang family and Miss Shen had been getting a divorce and that the case had been brought to the government. They glared at each other, thinking that the Jiang family was too shameless.
I don't know who started it, but someone grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at them, "Get lost now, Miss Shen is not your daughter-in-law anymore, and you are still bullying her, how shameless."
"That's right. Looking at your face, I wonder how you used to torture Miss Shen when you were at home? Now that you're divorced, who will still pamper you?"
"Go away! How dare you eat Miss Shen's food!"
Someone started throwing snowballs at them, and only when they were knocked away did the victims feel satisfied. “You are a family of bugs, and you deserve this fate.”
Shen Nanzhi's heart was burning with anger. The common people were also simple and honest, not all of them were evil people with black hearts. They were also grateful and said, "Thank you for your protection. You are so sensible and have given justice and a way out to the women who have divorced in the world.
It is true that a blessed girl will not enter an unblessed house. I am getting a divorce because the Jiang family is not blessed enough and cannot enjoy this blessing. Now they regret it and have no place to cry.
My life would be better without the burden of their family.
I won’t say any more. I’ll have a midnight snack tonight, spicy hot pot and steamed buns. It’s enough.”
The common people naturally knew about Malatang, and their mouths watered at the aroma. However, no one had ever eaten it. After all, they had suffered a disaster, and the price of ten cents was not cheap for them.
Now that Miss Shen has added a midnight snack, everyone is very happy and is looking forward to the extra meal in the evening.
Shen Nanzhi did what he said and went home to get the ingredients. After dividing the corn porridge, he started preparing the ingredients for the spicy hot pot.
The weather was too cold and the dough couldn’t rise, so I cooked brown rice porridge and added some rice, which made it taste better.
Being able to eat brown rice now is already the best thing, not to mention the fragrant and rich spicy hot pot.
Shen Nanzhi had big bones and used the whole chicken to make broth, which he used to provide nutrition to the victims and help them to the best of his ability.
That night, the road outside was blocked by heavy snow, but the yard was as lively as during the New Year. People were waiting for supper with laughter and noise, which diluted the coldness of the night.
Jiang's mother and her group had no choice but to stay in an inn. Spending the night outside in such a cold weather was definitely seeking death.
There were not many people in the inn. When they came in, the waiter looked at them. They were wearing tattered clothes and probably didn't have much money. "Where do you want to stay? Which room do you want?"
"How much is the cheapest one?"
"A big bunk bed, five cents per person, with a pot of hot water."
"It's so expensive, and we have children here? Can't the child be cheaper?"
The waiter was speechless. "The children you are talking about are eight or nine years old at the youngest. They are as old as adults. It's freezing cold, why don't you raise the price? We just changed to a heated kang. It's free to heat the kang, right?"
The inn was run by Mr. Xu. He was stingy and unwilling to donate money, but he unceremoniously used the fire pit promoted by Shen Nanzhi, which could save charcoal.
If you want to burn something in the house, you can only use charcoal. Not only is it expensive, but it is also easy to cause accidents if you burn too much low-quality charcoal. There was once a person who died silently on a winter night. After finding the cause, it was suspected that too much charcoal was burned.
It’s different with a kang. You can heat it from the outside and use firewood, which is much cheaper.
The Jiang family had no choice but to move in. They were reluctant to eat dinner and only asked for hot water and ate dry food. Fortunately, the kang was warm and they didn't have to endure the cold. The family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When people have some free time, they start to think about things. Jiang Laoda asked, "Dad, can we get the house back?"
Father Jiang was also worried: "We will know tomorrow. If the county magistrate is fair, we will have hope."
Jiang Lao Er said, "If we had known this would happen, we should have let them stay here, so we wouldn't have to suffer this."
Jiang's mother was still unconvinced: "That's our home. We spent money to build it. Why should we let them live in it? They are all dirty. They make it dirty and ruin the feng shui. I won't let them live in it even if you kill me."
Jiang Laoer had lost his patience with his mother. "Aren't they moving in now? What's the point of you saying this? We are just a few people in our family. Can we go against the whole village?"
Mother Jiang was still not convinced: "Is there no law in this world? Once we find the fourth brother, we will have someone to back us up. There will be a day when they will kneel down and beg for mercy."
Sister Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Mother-in-law, are you sure my uncle is doing well in the city?"
Mother Jiang said confidently, "My youngest son is the smartest. He will definitely do well. He is much better than you stupid people."
Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes and said, "He's so smart, but he was kicked out of the academy?"
Jiang's mother was so angry that she grabbed the teacup and threw it at her: "You have to encourage others to be ambitious. If you don't want to stay in this house, get out of here."
Mrs. Jiang just lay down on the kang and ignored the crazy woman.
Father Jiang was helpless and said, "Go to bed early."
There was a whole kang built against the wall in the room, which could accommodate more than 20 people. Their family lived in a loose arrangement, divided into men and women, separated by curtains.
There's nothing we can do about it. We can't open two rooms, right?
……
The next day, the Jiang family had a good rest. The kang was really warm, which drove away the coldness in their bodies. They woke up feeling much more energetic.
"Why don't we have a kang in our village?"
Jiang Lao Er said, "There is one in the Yushu Village next door. I heard that it was thought up by the Shen family."
The whole family was silent. Why was Shen everywhere? She was like a curse. Nothing good would happen if you heard her name.
"Let's go to the county government office."
Father Jiang is also tired. What's the point of saying this now?
They didn't appreciate Shen when she worked like a slave in their family. Now she is wholeheartedly helping Yushu Village, and even the villagers are resentful towards their family.
They don't even think about the fact that they also had a part in ostracizing the Shen family.
When they arrived at the county government office, Village Chief Jiang and several prestigious middle-aged men in the village were already there. When they saw the Jiang family, they all showed anger. How dare they come to sue the officials?
"Dad Jiang Chen, you guys are really great. The villagers have helped your family a lot over the years. When we built the house, it was the whole village who helped. Now everyone has suffered a snowstorm, and you guys are unwilling to let us stay for a while. Are you going to watch everyone freeze to death?"
Jiang's mother was still not convinced, but was pulled back by Jiang's father, so as not to offend others. "No matter what, that's our home. Do you want to live and let us freeze to death?"
Village Chief Jiang said, "Now that things have come to this, everyone has their own reasons. You can come back. The house is returned to you. Don't bother the county magistrate. He is busy with disaster relief."
"Really? You willing to give it back?"
The Jiang family was overjoyed. They just wanted to get their house back and didn't really want to become enemies with the entire village.
"Of course, the situation was urgent at the time, and you were too harsh in your words. The villagers were too excited, and you caused public outrage."
Father Jiang walked down the hill and said, "The village chief is right. We admit our mistakes. Let's go back now and don't disturb the county magistrate."
"Okay, go back."
