Chapter 1070 1 Big Bag of 5 Chang Rice
He Yudong tapped his fingertips and took out a few basic supplies from the space: a large bag of Wuchang rice, a few pieces of brightly shiny pork belly, and bacon sausages with an alluring smoky smell. My goodness, if this were real, it would be enough to support a family for half a year!
He sighed for a while, then turned his gaze to the dilapidated hut. His stomach growled a few times, reminding him of the most practical task at hand - he had to find a place to cook a meal.
This place is retro, but it is so poor that it is shabby. The original owner, He Yudong, didn't even have a decent stove in his "home", only a broken and leaky stove standing in the corner, with ash piled up like a mountain, and the pot looked more like a rusty scrap of iron.
He quietly sneaked into the deaf old lady's room, and while the old lady was sleeping, he dropped a drop of nightmare medicine into her teacup.
"Hehe, old man, have a sweet dream." He Yudong smiled sinisterly and left quietly.
"How about... using the things in the space to build a convenient kitchen?" He thought to himself and had returned to the trading space. Just as he found a complete set of portable cooking equipment on the list, he heard a cursing voice coming from outside the house.
"He Yudong! Get out of here, you useless gigolo! You dare to talk back to your mother, you are really outrageous!"
He Yudong instantly got angry. The voice was exactly that of the old woman's sister-in-law. She was looking for trouble again.
Glancing at the medicine box on the table, he raised a sneer, reached out and took an inconspicuous small bottle and stuffed it into his sleeve, then sat back on the bench quietly, deliberately looking leisurely and comfortable - his purpose was to accurately guess the old woman's temper.
"What's wrong with you, old woman? Are you here to show off your old hen again because it hasn't laid eggs in a few months? Do you want to drink some more spiritual spring water to enhance the egg-laying function?"
The door was kicked open with a bang, and a woman wearing a flowery headscarf, with a pointed chin and thin lips rushed in viciously. She saw He Yudong sitting with his legs crossed and holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, and she was so angry that she almost passed out.
"You filthy bastard, you're lying there like a worthless corpse. You're eating my brother's food and you still dare to be so stubborn!"
"Oh sister-in-law, you said I was useless. Why? The He family tradition produced a bunch of useless people like your brother He? The first wife can't support the second wife. In a one-on-one fight, anyone can despise me for winning a high score in broad daylight!"
As soon as these words came out, the nitpicker flew into a rage, and the five claws quickly swung their claws to tear the seams of the jacket.
But he was madly spraying the remaining [drunk drug powder, wrinkled and hidden, addicted ~ instantly got into prison and framed him, knocked out the code name and aroused suspicion! 】
As soon as the deaf old lady slammed the door and left, He Yudong couldn't help laughing. That wrinkled face that always looked superior, luckily he was the only one in the room, otherwise he would have definitely seen the clues - he didn't take this old woman seriously at all, and even secretly had some mocking thoughts about her arrogant look.
He Yudong looked out the window, it was already getting dark. He sat on the kang and thought for a while, and suddenly a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The things in this "trading space" are not simple, especially these drugs. In the 1960s, human lives were sometimes not as valuable as a few pills. He flipped through the medicine box casually, and a different plan gradually emerged in his mind. This thing might be the key to breaking his current situation!
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps outside the house. Before He Yudong could come back to his senses, he heard the click of the yard door being pushed open, followed by a familiar rough voice: "Yudong, get out here!"
He Yudong was startled, then couldn't help laughing, thinking that this was probably what the deaf old lady meant by "see how your brother will deal with you". The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a familiar and annoying face appeared in front of He Yudong - it was his biological elder brother, He Yushan.
He Yushan is the eldest son in the family. He has always felt that he is the pillar of the family since he was a child. He always speaks and acts in a bossy manner. In addition, the deaf old lady always favors the eldest son, which makes him arrogant. Just after returning, he rushed into He Yudong's house without asking why.
"You little brat, have you grown wings? You even dare to talk back to your mother?" He Yushan stood upright at the door, his hands on his hips, with a condescending attitude. His big hands were waving around randomly, and it seemed like he might attack at any time.
He Yudong was still sitting calmly, not even getting up to greet him. He just lazily leaned on the kang, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was disdainful of He Yushan's anger: "Hey, brother, are you so angry? Look at your face, it's like a dried chili pepper."
"You!" He Yushan pointed his finger, his face flushed with anger, "Today I will teach you what respect for elders and juniors is!"
He Yushan was so angry at what He Yudong said that he almost couldn't help but fight. He was so angry that he didn't rush over to beat him up. It wasn't because he was afraid of beating He Yudong up, but everyone in the family knew that this kid was a slippery guy. If he really fought, he would cry and go to the neighborhood committee to complain to you, causing a lot of trouble.
He Yushan pondered for a moment, turned around, kicked the stool beside the kang hard, slammed the table hard, and yelled at the top of his voice: "You jinx! You eat our food and grow our meat, and you dare to talk back to mom, I'm really capable of you! I tell you, as long as you explain clearly today, you do whatever mom tells you to do, and we brothers can still talk to each other! Otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you according to the family rules!"
He Yudong looked up, with a cold smile in his narrow eyes. He did not respond to He Yushan's words, but sat up from the kang, slowly walked to the cabinet, and suddenly changed the topic: "Brother, how is our harvest this year?"
"Harvest?" He Yushan was stunned. He was rolling up his sleeves and preparing to get angry, but he was stunned by this question.
"Look at your face full of fat, brother. It's probably because the food has been good recently. But doesn't the deaf old lady always say that life is tight at home? How come I'm not dead yet, but you guys have gained weight first?" The smile on He Yudong's lips became colder. He turned around, and his expression made people feel cold.
"What do you mean!" He Yushan frowned. His youngest son's unconventional attitude made him feel angry and as if he was being controlled by someone.
He Yudong smiled faintly, opened the cabinet casually, and took out the medicine box that he had thrown in casually. He Yushan stared over and saw He Yudong casually opening the box. The inside was neatly arranged, with bottles and jars in full condition.
"Brother, this is a good stuff." He Yudong tapped the jar with his fingertips, with a sense of pride in his words.
He Yushan was stunned, and instinctively looked down, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Is this medicine? Where did it come from?"
"Hehe, brother, everyone can talk. This is something I exchanged my life for. If you dare to make a move, don't blame me for risking my life to make things difficult for you!" He Yudong said perfunctorily, but with a cunning smile on his face.
He Yushan was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know the specific origins of these medicines, he hesitated involuntarily when he saw his brother speaking so mysteriously, his eyebrows raised, and his tone revealed a hint of intoxicating provocation.
"What do you mean? Don't beat around the bush." He Yushan's tone became a little harder, but he stared at the medicine box, seeming a little guilty.
"Isn't the meaning simple?" He Yudong closed the medicine box and curled his lips. "When you rush in today, don't just think about getting angry. My life is not worth anything. But if we can negotiate with some social etiquette and exchange these medicines for some rice, flour, grain and oil, any of them will be enough for the whole family to spend for a while. Don't you think it's more cost-effective than beating me?"
He Yushan listened, and couldn't help but touch his chin with his hand, his eyes rolling around. Although he was very unhappy with He Yudong's momentum, he was not a fool. What the villagers really needed was this kind of thing to survive? Thinking about it again, who doesn't need favors and face? He Yudong's words really hit the point.
"Hey! Great! You're quite good at showing off your skills!" He Yushan leaned forward and asked tentatively, "But is this thing really useful?"
He Yudong grinned, but didn't reply immediately. He looked at the expression on He Yushan's face, squinted his eyes, and vaguely understood in his heart that this medicine box was not only a life-saving treasure, but also a bargaining chip for him to turn things around in this suffocating family and society.
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound outside the door - as if someone had deliberately stepped on the floor in the yard. His eyes were stern, and he jumped off the kang and walked straight to the window, reaching out to open a corner of the curtain. In the night, a sneaky figure flashed by...
He Yudong returned to the room with the medicine box, and saw Sha Zhu lying on the bed groaning.
"Hey, what's going on? Did an old man beat you again?" He Yudong said sarcastically.
Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "Fuck you, I'm really sick! My whole body aches and I feel dizzy."
He Yudong opened the medicine box, flipped through it, and took out a tablet of medicine: "Here, special medicine, you'll feel better after taking it."
Sha Zhu took the pill suspiciously and looked at it carefully. The words "Dream Medicine" were printed on the package.
"Dream medicine? You are kidding me! Can this thing cure diseases?"
"Take it if you want, or not." He Yudong put the medicine box on the table, too lazy to pay attention to Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu swallowed the pill out of anger.
After a while, he fell into a deep sleep with a strange smile on his face.
He Yudong couldn't help laughing when he saw Sha Zhu sleeping like a dead pig.
The effect of this medicine is really good. I think I should prepare more in the future.
He took out some rice and pork belly from the space and prepared to make a delicious meal.
I have been eating only steamed corn bread these days, and my mouth is almost dry.
While I was cutting the meat, the deaf old lady pushed the door open again with an angry look on her face.
"He Yudong, you dare to call me an old immortal! I will teach you a lesson!"
As she said that, the deaf old lady picked up her walking stick and hit He Yudong.
He Yudong was prepared. He dodged to the side and grabbed the deaf old lady's walking stick.
"Old lady, you are old, why are you still so angry? Be careful not to get sick from anger."
"Stop talking nonsense to me! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!" The deaf old lady struggled to get her crutches back.
He Yudong exerted a little force on his hands, and the deaf old lady staggered and almost fell.
"Old lady, please be careful. If it breaks, I can't afford to pay for it."
"You...you little beast!" The deaf old lady was shaking with anger.
He Yudong smiled, let go of his crutches, took out a small bottle from the medicine box, and shook it in front of the deaf old lady.
"Old lady, would you like to try this? I guarantee you will sleep soundly and have a sweet dream."
The deaf old lady looked at the colorful pills in the bottle and felt a little scared.
"What is this?"
"Good stuff, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." He Yudong said, opening the bottle cap and pouring out a pill.
"Come on, open your mouth."
The deaf old lady looked at He Yudong warily and refused to open her mouth.
"You...what do you want to do? Let me tell you, I am a five-guarantee household in the courtyard. If you dare to do anything to me, I will not let you go!"
"Old lady, you think too much. I just want you to have a good sleep and stop being so angry."
As He Yudong spoke, he grabbed the deaf old lady's chin and forced the pill into her mouth.
"Um... Um..." The deaf old lady struggled desperately, but to no avail.
The pill melted in my mouth and a strange smell filled the air.
The deaf old lady felt dizzy and everything in front of her became blurry.
She staggered a few times, then fell to the ground, unconscious.
He Yudong looked at the deaf old lady lying on the ground and sneered.
