Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Zhang Xingwang immediately felt that this was a sure thing. His uncle-in-law actually wanted to go fishing in winter. This way, it would be much easier for his aunt to go to the city. No one cared about fishing in the village ditches anyway. As long as you didn't fish with a net or catch more than ten kilograms of fish every day, the villagers would turn a blind eye.

Anyway, few people in the village go fishing, mainly because the harvest is uncertain and it is not worth it. Working every day is tiring enough, and only teenagers are interested in fishing.

After the autumn harvest, everyone usually goes to find a drained ditch to fish. If the area is large, it becomes a collective activity in the village, where people are rewarded with work points. Anyway, as long as you catch a large amount, it becomes collective property and must be distributed equally.

The aunt is a stubborn person with old-fashioned ideas. She now hopes that her nephew can think of a solution for her. In her opinion, her husband who is lazy and has strange hobbies, and she who steals money to pay for her nephew's medical treatment, both have some problems, so she subconsciously lets her nephew, a cadre, make the decision.

From ancient times to the present, it is not a good thing for a man to be away from home every day. She thinks the same applies to going out fishing. After all, there are still some heavy work at home that depends on men.

Although her uncle treated her badly in the past, the two of them never thought about divorce from the beginning to the end. During the past six months of exchanging status, she was very satisfied and contented. She felt that it was good to live like this and that she had surpassed most women.

Now that she has the support of her nephew from her mother's side, she feels very confident in the village. No matter how the men, women, young and old in the village talk about her in private, they will never say a bad word about her openly. Some of those who are close to her even envy her for finally getting what she deserves after all the hard work she has endured.

Anyway, everyone in the village is polite to her. After all, not everyone's nephew can take down five men for his aunt. Not only does she come frequently, but she is also known to be not very smart.

Anyway, her husband is getting older day by day, and her children are gradually growing up. Not only do they not have any bad thoughts, but they are also becoming more and more sensible.

The most important thing is that the nephew who supports her husband not only has enough fighting power to keep up until her husband has to use a cane, but he also became a cadre at a young age.

My aunt's family conditions were considered upper-middle class in the village, but they were still not good enough in a year of disaster. They only had a plate of stir-fried vegetables and two boiled eggs, and my aunt had to pretend to go to the toilet and secretly go out to change the eggs.

Bai Xiaoya probably ate too many grapes and had no appetite at the moment, so she picked up an egg, peeled it and handed it to her little cousin. The little cousin seemed to be very attached to Bai Xiaoya and was now familiar with her. When she saw the egg, she didn't hesitate and broke it open and shared it with Bai Xiaoya.

Seeing this, the cousin started to peel the egg in a very professional manner and handed it to Zhang Xingwang with a flattering look on his face. However, Zhang Xingwang refused it and gave it to his aunt. The aunt looked at her son with a disappointed face and broke the egg in half and gave each of them half.

"Brother, do you want to default on your debt?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What debt can I owe you?"

"You said you taught me the skill of throwing bricks when I was in junior high school..."

Zhang Xingwang was stunned, looking at Bai Xiaoya's inquiring eyes, and replied seriously:

"I noticed your aim was not good last time. Wait until your sister-in-law is free to teach you archery and slingshot. Once you have practiced your aim, you can learn it later."

After hearing this, the cousin immediately gave Bai Xiaoya a flattering smile, and his lost eyes became firm again. Sure enough, after the meal, the cousin was like a little bee, surrounding Bai Xiaoya and showing his crazy courtesy. Then he was depressed by his new sister-in-law's words "one chance at a time".

At nearly ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xingwang came out to use the toilet and prepare to go to bed. He saw his uncle-in-law push open the gate and return home with a complicated expression on his face. He was holding a carp as long as a chopstick in his hand. Looking at his panting appearance, it was obvious that he had gone to the village to show off.

But judging from his tearful expression, it must have been the middle of the night. No one in the village shared his achievements. To make matters worse, the person he least wanted to see at the moment came home. For the uncle-in-law who was trying hard to stay awake, his situation at the moment was one of internal and external troubles.

"Xingwang, uh... you're here, just do your thing, I just caught a fish and need to clean it up quickly."

Looking at the person who popped out from behind Zhang Xingwang, the uncle was a little confused. Fortunately, the aunt came out with her clothes on and introduced him, which eased the awkward atmosphere of the two meeting on a narrow road.

After saying hello, they went to bed. Under Bai Xiaoya's questioning, Zhang Xingwang told her about his past with his uncle.

"Brother, can you really beat five people? Why can't I see that? I have to say, brother, your shameless bragging is quite funny."

The two of them lay on the kang. Bai Xiaoya's nature persisted for two and a half days in total. She had long forgotten her second sister-in-law's teachings. While she spoke, she pinched Zhang Xingwang's arm.

Seeing the other party's unscrupulous teasing expression, Zhang Xingwang frowned. These words were like adding water to the frying pan. Zhang Xingwang's mood exploded instantly. He rushed forward and replied:

"You dare to call me brother in the middle of the night? Am I giving you face?"

The next morning, as soon as Zhang Xingwang arrived at the door, he heard intermittent crying coming from Old Man Zhang's house. After knocking on the door a few times, he saw Old Man Zhang's lifeless face.

"Why are you crying so early in the morning? If I didn't know, I would have thought you couldn't breathe last night."

Old man Zhang frowned and replied expressionlessly:

"Why didn't your wife come? I've already prepared the pills. Is she cheating and not wanting them? I swore a week ago that I would never let anyone trick me again."

"She's not here, but I've brought the money. You'd better try to persuade your daughter, or the neighbors will come and help you soon."

When Old Man Zhang heard this, he immediately invited Zhang Xingwang in and replied nonchalantly:

"My reputation has long been ruined by my daughter. Even if my daughter cries for a whole day, no one will come to ask about it. It seems like they have long been used to it."

Zhang Xingwang thought about it and felt that it made sense. Although he didn't know what kind of personality Zhang Lao's wife had, his daughter cried at home every now and then. Considering Zhang Lao's physique and bad temper, the neighbors thought that it was all caused by Zhang Lao's beatings and scoldings. After all, it was Zhang Lao's family affair, and who would dare to persuade her without some good skills?

"If you can let her go home, I can give you an extra dose of medicine."

Zhang Xingwang said without hesitation that he had no shortage of money, and then asked why she was crying like that so early in the morning.

It turned out that Zhang Guifen felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it after she went back yesterday. However, this time she was not feeling aggrieved for herself, but for Old Man Zhang.

My mother passed away early, and over the years, Old Man Zhang had to be both a father and a doctor, so he must be lonely and helpless. Yet he was still thinking about buying her a job. He immediately made up his mind to provide for her father in his old age, without even thinking about whether Old Man Zhang needed it or not. He was determined to be filial to him.

Then she couldn't stop crying. She was ready to argue with Lin Qiang while crying, but her husband didn't object directly. He just explained in detail the reasons why Old Man Zhang would not live with them from the perspective of career and health. He also described his physical condition and said that he was not young anymore and his recovery ability was not as good as before, which made his wife feel a little better...
