Chapter 546: Counterattack! loser! (20)
Seeing the old lady cursing and walking away, Xu Wanping glanced at her daughter worriedly: "Isn't it bad if we live next door to her and offend others?"
Xu Yin shrugged: "It's rented anyway, I'll have to move at worst."
Xu Wanping choked for a moment: "Didn't you say that you like this small courtyard and don't want to move? You also said that the vegetables you grow will be edible soon. Wouldn't it be cheaper for the people who rent it later if you move now?"
Xu Yin: “…”
The hole you dug yourself, you buried yourself in.
Mrs. Hou was so angry that she met Mrs. Fang at the gate of the community and called her to stop:
"Lao Fang, please judge me. The vegetable seller next door to my house, I kindly took care of her business and wanted to buy melons from her, but I said something about her daughter's poor grades, and her daughter got angry and yelled. I don’t want to do this business with me anymore. Are you angry?”
Mrs. Fang is now a loyal customer of Xu Yin’s watermelon. She comes to Xu Yin’s house almost every morning to buy a big watermelon.
Her eldest grandson likes Xu Yin’s watermelon so much that he can eat half of it in one go. His appetite is gradually coming back and he no longer has a bitter summer.
Old Mrs. Fang had no time to thank Xu Wanping and her daughter. How could she scold them along with Mrs. Hou? What if, like Mrs. Hou, she refused to be treated by them and refused to sell melons to herself, wouldn't it be worth the loss?
And after several contacts, Mrs. Fang felt that Xu Yin was a very good child. He was not as unreasonable as Mrs. Hou said. If it was really unreasonable, there was only one possibility - Mrs. Hou did or said it. unacceptable.
Having lived in the same community for so many years, can Mrs. Fang still not understand Mrs. Hou’s personality? She must have wanted to take advantage of others, but she also said some unpleasant things with her mouth. Who would want to see her?
Old Mrs. Fang laughed and said: "My old man is waiting for me to go back to have dinner! If you have something to do, let's talk about it another day!"
“Hey, Lao Fang——”
At this time, another old lady came, and Mrs. Hou immediately stopped her: "Old Liu, I told you that the vegetable seller next door to my house is really too much..."
The other party responded a few words, and then said hurriedly: "Oh, sister, I remembered that there is still something stewed on the stove, so I won't talk to you now."
I found an excuse and ran away.
joke! The melons and vegetables sold by Xiao Xu's mother and daughter are so delicious. If they were caught telling Mrs. Hou bad things about them and they would not sell them to themselves, it would be uneconomical.
Mrs. Hou talked a lot, but no one agreed, so she went home angrily.
"Mom, why did you come back? Hey, where's the watermelon? Didn't you say you were going to buy watermelon?" When her daughter-in-law saw her coming back empty-handed, she couldn't help but said in surprise, "My watermelon knife has been washed, and Yangyang is waiting to eat it." I’m finishing my homework.”
…”
Although Xu Yin’s family has to sell half a cart more watermelons recently, the stall closing time is not much later than before, and they get home before six o’clock.
The sound of children crying and the arguments between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came from next door. Because it is an old house, the sound insulation effect is really not very good.
The two women could hear it clearly in their own living room.
"...Mom, why do you mean I'm forcing you? Didn't you say you missed Yangyang and asked us to bring the children to your house for dinner? Yangyang wants to eat the kind of watermelon you bought last time. If you say it's okay, then I will I thought you were going to buy watermelon, and after washing the vegetables, you washed the watermelon knife. Is this wrong?"
"Yes, yes! You're right! It's the old lady who's wrong, okay?" Mrs. Hou said, then burst into tears, slapping her thighs and scolding her daughter-in-law for her lack of conscience, "I went to buy watermelons, but I didn't buy them. Are you there? I'm in a hurry to come back and cook for you. It's better for you to hold the knife as if to interrogate me. My life is so miserable! I might as well just die!"
Mrs. Hou’s grandson was so frightened that he cried.
Her daughter-in-law was also anxious: "Oh mom, why are you doing this..."
“Hiss! Take the knife away!” Mrs. Hou screamed, “Do you really want to kill me?”
“Hey, you got the stroke? Are you okay, Mom? I’ll go find a band-aid for you!”
I guess it was during the tug-of-war that Mrs. Hou got a small cut with the watermelon knife in her daughter-in-law's hand. The problem shouldn't be serious, otherwise she would have screamed for help, but the blood must have been real. what is this?
A "murderous crime" caused by a watermelon?
Xu Yin and her mother looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
After that day, when Mrs. Hou saw Xu Wanping and her daughter, it was as if she were enemies. She rolled her eyes and almost fainted.
Xu Wanping was enlightened by her daughter, and she thought about it: the worst case scenario is moving. After all, you are renting a house, so where can you live?
When she met Mrs. Hou, she didn't have a good look on her face, so she stopped taking the initiative to say hello to her.
Xu Yin is more direct.
Once I saw this old lady using the wall to peek into her vegetable garden. After hearing her chatting with Liang Yuqing, she even pointed at Sang and scolded Sophora japonica through the wall:
"Hey, there is a weed here, pretending to be my green onion, right? Don't urinate and look at your coward in the mirror. Is it worthy to be compared with green onions? What? You still want to compete with green onions to see who is better? Quick? I'll grab you right now! Huh!"
Xu Yin waited for Liang Yuqing to leave, then deliberately raised a red brick that was used to cushion the water tank, and crushed it to pieces in front of Mrs. Hou.
By chance, a gust of wind came, and the red brick powder blew across the courtyard wall from Xu Yin's palm.
“哐啷—”
Mrs. Hou was so frightened that she let go of her hands and the washtub fell to the ground.
“Old woman, what are you doing?” Her wife shouted from inside the room, “Didn’t you tell me that the enamel basin should not be dropped?”
Orange Mrs. Hou picked up the wash basin and ran into the house, her face turned pale with fright.
Xu Yin lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, and continued to squat in the vegetable field and pull weeds.
After that day, I never heard Mrs. Hou’s strange and angry yelling again.
The roots of the ears are much purer.
“Xu Yin, when will the match between you and Liang Yuqing be held?” Lu Yunran asked Xu Yin when she came to buy groceries.
Her Experimental Middle School and Liang Yuqing's No. 1 Middle School have to report to school a week in advance. If they don't compete, they will have no time.
Xu Yin said: "I can do it. I'll ask Liang Yuqing later and see if it's convenient for her."
Liang Yuqing’s summer cram school has ended, and she is making preparations for the start of school at home these days.
Xu Yin met her in the community yesterday and asked Liu Wenhui if she had come to trouble her again. She said no. As for when school would start, she really didn't ask.
Lu Yunran heard her casual tone and said, "Of course you get to choose. Choose a time that is beneficial to you. It would be good to have a few more days to review. Why are you so stupid! Forget it, it's still me. Let me make the decision for you!”
…”
Lu Yunran went to Liang Yuqing to finalize the time for the competition, which was finally set on August 20th. They both have to report to school on the 22nd. In other words, Xu Yin, a vocational high school student, can really have two months of summer vacation.
"Xu Yin, let me do the math for you. If you get all the basic questions right, you can get at least 360 points." Lu Yunran racked her brains to make Xu Yin do better in the exam.
Xu Yin looked at her funny: "Don't reveal the question, Teacher Lu!"
Lu Yunran choked, then waved her hand: "Okay, I'm leaving! I'm going to check the test paper again to see if there are any mistakes. I always feel that the final questions are not difficult enough, so I have to make Liang Yuqing a little more difficult..."
Xu Yin laughed dumbly.
