The slightly larger fish in the pond had also been beaten up. Now, there were only a few small fish left. Even if they were given to others to catch, they might not be interested because the fish were really too small. Those fish were not only small, but they were also thin. Outside the shiny silver armor, one could clearly see the vertical ribs. Moreover, his back was hunched very high. If he wanted to make it into a dish, he would probably only be able to drink some soup.
The few chickens that were fed at home all went into the stomachs of those who helped. This was something that could not be helped. If someone came to help, it was impossible to not let them eat their fill, right? (Even if there was chicken on the table, it didn't seem to be a sumptuous meal.）
Mou Lin was now standing by his own sunbathing dam, looking at everything in front of him with lifeless eyes. His mind was blank. He let the mountain wind blow at his clothes and hair. He really wanted to cry but had no tears. He was the only one left in the entire family. He was the only one who could eat and the whole family would not be hungry.
The people at the foot of the mountain were also growing very big beside the Dashaiba. A few people might not be able to surround them. Moreover, they were sitting by the yellow jue tree with luxuriant branches and leaves like a huge umbrella and gossiping.
A few women were holding baskets in their hands, tying up the soles of their socks or sewing the soles of their shoes. There were also some who were wearing sweaters, and their eyes occasionally glanced at the men who were fanning themselves and doing soy sauce. From their slanted eyes, one could tell that they were dissatisfied with those strong men.
"I say, you men are really too much. Mou Lin's family is not living well. If you go to help, don't you know that you should eat less and just put on an act? Although our family doesn't have much money, it can still feed you dogs. He had to kill their two pigs that weighed about 100 pounds. There weren't many guests to begin with, and only those of you who helped.”
The other woman looked up and looked at him disdainfully. Then, she started to scold him," That's true. I say, none of you men are good." If that pig was killed, then so be it. That was not enough. He had to kill the few chickens that laid eggs in their house.”
Another woman didn't even raise her head and revealed even more shocking news."That's not all. I heard that they ate the slightly larger fish in their pond. Don't you know what the fish in Mou Lin's pond are like? He didn't even get a single quack (meat), and he was covered in thorns. How could he bear to eat it?”
Because the fish was too small and too thin, even the big thorns on the ribs were not very thick, let alone the hairy thorns on other parts of the fish. One had to be careful when eating such fish. If they were not careful, they would get stuck in their throats.
After hearing the dirty words of these women, the men sitting on the side couldn't sit still anymore. If these women continued to talk like this, what kind of people would they become? Do you still want to go out in the future? If they went out and others knew about their character, they would be a few feet away from them. Some people even hid far away when they saw them. They might even spit on their backs.
Their faces were flushed red, and their fists were clenched tightly. Their hair stood on end, and their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. If they were men, this fight would definitely break out. He would not stop until he was injured. "I say, what do you girls know? Do you think we want to do this? If they invited the geography professor to look at the land, wouldn't they give a chicken, a fish, and a bottle of wine? Then you're going to pay for the chicken and fish?”
When the men said this, it was serious. If someone died in a family, there was no reason to ask others to pay for the chicken, fish, and wine that Mr. Geography used. No matter how rich the other family was, no matter how abundant their living resources were, there was no reason for them to stand up and acknowledge this yellow at this time.
The women next to them pouted and rolled their eyes. They were not afraid of the men's big fists, let alone their looks of wanting to eat them up. They said in a neutral tone,"Even so, you only need a chicken and a fish? They had five chickens at home, and the rest went into your stomachs, didn't they?”
The man beside them was so angry that he wanted to get up and beat up these women who were gossiping." Hehe, you can't say that. There must be a whole chicken in the offering." Right? Although Mou Lin died in his room, it was an accident, right? We invited a Taoist priest to help him make a move out of kindness. Is that wrong?”
When the women heard what the man said, they nodded collectively. This was how it was in the countryside. As long as it was an accident, it must have provoked something unclean. However, even a three-year-old child could calculate such a small score. "Yes, it's definitely not wrong to make a move, but that doesn't require three chickens, right? Where are the other two?"
The men's restless hearts slowly calmed down, but they were still angry." What you said is strange. We used a big rooster in the central room, but we're still missing one. Every family has chickens to feed. Don't you know the difference between a rooster and a hen? They could only use their two hens to exchange for a big black rooster from someone else's house. Even so, the other party was not very willing. You should know that the prices of roosters and hens in town are not on the same level. How much can you sell a hen for? How much is a rooster now? She was almost thirty. Think about it, a hen is only a little more than three catties, and two of them together are only about seven catties, and the price is only about ten yuan per catty. The big rooster he got in exchange was about eight pounds. It was said that it was for the Mou Lin family. Mou Lin's mother and old man had been doing good deeds all these years, so they exchanged it with great reluctance. I say, you women, don't talk nonsense all day long.”
It was not easy to find a completely black rooster. Fortunately, they were in the countryside. Everyone knew what kind of things each house had. There wasn't such a completely black rooster in the entire Yang Village. When the men explained a little, the women next to them did not say anything else.
The men beside them heaved a sigh of relief when they heard about the chicken. They thought that this matter would come to an end and that these women who were bored in their hearts would no longer go out and say anything. To their surprise, another woman's question followed.
"That's not right either. What's with the fish?”
The men looked at each other. They didn't want to bring this up, but they had to at this time. If they didn't mention it, their reputation would only get worse.
"What else could it be? It's not like you guys don't know about their pond. The water in it is all rainwater, but how can it be used for food like our fish ponds? They couldn't give him any food, let alone grass. Therefore, the pond was as thin as it could be. There were only two or three fish that looked decent. The rest were all long (about 20 centimeters). Mr. Geography gave him one, the Taoist priest he invited gave him another, and there was another one on the table. That was it. Sigh, how pitiful."
The women in the men's hearts did not know that they had to ask clearly at this time. They would not let go of any details. Perhaps, in the eyes of these women, none of these men in front of them were good. "That's not right. What about the pig? They have two pigs in their house. Can't you just kill one?”
