Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

The next morning, before daybreak, the laborers from each village gathered at the gate of the county government office. The largest village had more than 100 people, and the smallest village had more than 60 people.

After a simple count by County Magistrate Xu, there were a total of more than 2,000 people, who were rushing towards Kaoshan Village in a mighty manner.

As for the nearby Dahe Village and Niugu Village, the village chief came forward to discuss with the other two village chiefs. After the discussion was settled, the village chiefs of the two villages brought the villagers to Kaoshan Village early.

Shen Ping selected dozens of women in their thirties and forties in the village to form a logistics team to boil water and cook for everyone, eliminating their worries.

The kitchen is located not far from the back door of Shen Ping's house, which is on the outskirts of Qingfeng Mountain. There happens to be a flat area here, and it is the only way for the mountain spring water to pass, so it is convenient to use water.

Shen Ping directed everyone to build a roof with rice stalks and bamboo, and then propped up a few bamboos to build a simple shed, and then built a dozen simple stoves with mud bricks, and a temporary kitchen was created.

As for firewood, every household contributed a large bundle, which was piled aside. A few pots of boiling water were first boiled and placed aside to dry.

Shen Ping asked Dadong to carry ten bags of flour and corn flour to the kitchen. The flour and corn flour were mixed together to make corn buns.

They were all farmers, and some women were busy, so without Shen Ping's instructions, they kneaded dough and steamed big white buns. In less than an hour, the fragrance of the buns wafted through the air.

With more than ten stoves working together, each steaming operation could produce nearly a thousand buns. In a short while, several thousand buns were steamed. The big yellow buns made people drool.

By the time the corn porridge was cooked and the steamed buns were ready, County Magistrate Xu arrived with a large group of people.

According to convention, everyone had to sign in before going to work. When Village Chief He called the roll for the last time, he found that two people were missing: Li Dasuo and Liu Popi.

"Second brother, go and see why they haven't arrived yet." The village chief instructed the second brother, He Jing.

Each household had to provide one laborer, and they had no other brothers to replace them, so they could only ask He Jing to call them both.

After a while, He Jing came back, followed by Liu Popi and his mother and Li Dasuo and his son.

It turned out that after He Jing went there, no matter how much they were persuaded, the two of them refused to go. When they knew that the county magistrate was also coming, their parents dragged them along.

Although these two people are bad guys, they are not so bad as to dare to openly disobey their parents in front of the county magistrate. After all, this is a big event for the entire county.

Liu Popi's mother, Feng, had a head full of white hair. She was trembling with a cane as she dragged Liu Popi to the village chief. She said with an embarrassed look on her face, "Village chief, my son is ignorant. I am dragging him here to apologize."

Li Dasuo's father, Li Dabing, followed suit and walked up to him, saying with an embarrassed face, "My sister-in-law is right. My Dasuo is as ignorant as that rascal. But he was willing to come yesterday. I don't know why he changed his mind this morning and didn't want to come."

Li Dasuo pulled the corner of his mouth, and shouted with disdain: "Oh, Dad, you don't know, I've been to see it. The things in the mountains are bitter and can't be eaten. Don't let Dachunniang fool you."

"Shut up!" Li Dabing shouted in a low voice, "Didn't you see the county magistrate was there too? Aren't you afraid of having your tongue cut off for saying that?"

Shen Ping raised her lips and said, "Liu the scoundrel, you said I was fooling you. So you went up the back mountain last night? You are so brave."

After hearing what Shen Ping said, Li Dasuo realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered his mouth.

Liu Popi repeatedly warned him not to reveal the matter to anyone, but he didn't expect Li Dasuo to be so outspoken and told the whole story in just a few words.

Liu Popi glared at Li Dasuo angrily, then reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Li Dasuo's waist.

"Ouch~"

Li Dasuo cried out in pain and turned around with an angry face. When he saw that it was Liu Popia who pinched him, he immediately wilted.

The village chief heard this clearly and frowned: "Wait, what did you say? You said that the things in the mountains can't be eaten, how do you know what Dachunniang found in the mountains?"

"I didn't say that!" Li Dasuo shook his head and denied it.

The village chief glanced back and forth between Li Dasuo and Liu Popi, and said coldly: "Anyway, each family must provide a laborer, otherwise there will be no food to share. Don't regret it if you don't go."

Anyway, I'm not going. There's nothing to eat in the mountains. If there was, it would have been dug up by everyone. Why would we have to mobilize so many troops?" Liu Popi looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Feng raised the cane in her hand, looking angry: "You spendthrift, are you going or not~"

Liu Popi stood up straight and raised his head stubbornly, saying, "No, only a fool would go."

Feng raised the cane in his hand and hit him: "If you don't go, I'll tell you not to go~"

Liu Popi jumped up and ran: "Oh~ Mom, why are you like this!"

"I'll beat you to death, you ignorant thing!" Feng cursed and chased after him.

"stop!"

The village chief shouted loudly. His head was buzzing because of the quarrel between the two of them. He saw that Lord Xu looked a little annoyed and was about to lose his temper.

"Okay, don't waste time because of them!" County Magistrate Xu said with a cold face.

Shen Ping looked up at the sun and said, "Yes! Lord Xu is right. Don't let these two bad apples spoil the whole pot of porridge and delay our plan!"

Feng walked up to the village chief and said anxiously, "Village chief, my unfilial son won't go, so I'll go in his place."

The old man Li Dabing also agreed: "Yes, I am willing to go too."

The village chief said angrily, "Stop making trouble, you two. You have to use a cane to walk. Are you going to work or do you want someone to support you?"

When everyone saw this situation, they all started talking about it.

"That's right! If you go there at your age, you'll become a burden!"

"Yes, we agreed to send young and strong people, but this young man doesn't go and the old one goes. What's the big deal?"

The village chief looked around at everyone and said, "Listen, if anyone in our village doesn't want to go, it's still not too late. But I have to say this in advance. If anyone doesn't go, then there will be no share of the food. Everyone, think carefully!"

Everyone looked at each other. There was no other way at the moment. Besides, the words of Liu Popi and Li Daqisuo were not credible. The minority should obey the majority. For the livelihood of the whole family, it would be safer to go. "

Seeing that no one said anything, Shen Ping spoke up: "Come on, everyone line up over here to get the steamed buns. We can eat them and then start working."

When they heard that there was food available, everyone quickly lined up, received their steamed buns, and sat down to eat.

Seeing that there were steamed buns, Liu Popi and Li Dasuo squeezed in in front of a man and started to line up.

The man was suddenly cut in line by someone and was about to get angry. When he saw it was Liu Puppy and the other two, he was immediately furious: "You two have the nerve to stand here and get steamed buns when you don't go. Get away~" As he said that, he kicked them both out one by one.

The two of them immediately fell flat on their faces, causing everyone to laugh.

Liu Puff and Li Dasuo wanted to get angry, but seeing so many people around, they would be the ones to suffer anyway. Besides, the county magistrate was also there, so they just walked away in disgrace.

Mrs. Feng and old man Li Dabing watched their son leave and could only follow him, returning home dejectedly.
