Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 7 The only person in the village who was trampled to death by a pig
Jiang Tian never imagined that the first lunch box she distributed after her rebirth was delivered by a "delivery man" who was actually a 200-pound fat pig!
It took almost an hour to collect more than a hundred eel fishing rods along the way.
After collecting the fishing hooks, Jiang Tian and Hu Qiongfang pulled up the three "fish cages" that had been lowered into the ditch last night.
I didn’t expect to gain so much today!
In the fish cage that is half a person's height, the fish catch is piled up to one-third of the height. Through the bamboo cage, you can see several eels as thick as thumbs, a bunch of loaches running around, and many grass shrimps, snails, minnows and the like.
It was not easy to clean up the fish cages outside. Fortunately, Hu Qiongfang was used to doing this job. She skillfully took out the shoulder pole and hemp rope she brought, and hung the three fish cages on both sides of the shoulder pole. Finally, she hung the nylon bag containing the eels on the shoulder pole.
She only let her daughter walk in front of her, carrying the lightest eel fishing rod.
In September, the rice in the fields had begun to turn yellow, and the pulpy rice grains hung fully on the seedlings, bending them down.
The Jiang family, with four adults and two children, were allocated a total of more than four acres of paddy fields and more than two acres of dry land.
Hu Qiongfang is really a good woman who can take care of both home and outside.
She has to take care of two children and do housework, but she still has the energy to plant so much land!
The Jiang family has more than four mu of paddy fields, and they have to plant two crops a year. In spring, they plant rice seedlings, and after the autumn harvest, they plant a crop of green manure, which is Chinese astragalus.
This thing grows fast and is a good feed for fattening pigs. This crop of green manure can be eaten until the beginning of next spring.
There were also more than two acres of dry land that were not idle. Hu Qiongfang planted sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, peanuts, sesame seeds, etc. She also found opportunities to plant some red beans, mung beans, etc., and kept them for making porridge at home.
It can be said that if there were no hardworking Hu Qiongfang, this family would never be as relaxed and comfortable as it is now, by the biased old woman Wang Chunmei.
Looking at the heavy ears of rice in the field, Jiang Tian couldn't help but secretly despise the mean and short-sighted Wang Chunmei in her heart.
How could someone be so stupid?
Instead of feeling sorry for his filial and capable eldest daughter-in-law, he relies on his second uncle's younger daughter-in-law, whose whereabouts are unknown, every day.
After her mother passed away in her previous life, she never returned to this home.
Later, I heard that her second uncle had found a girlfriend in the city. The girl's parents both worked in government agencies. In order to please his father-in-law, the second uncle simply moved in with his father-in-law.
Wang Chunmei originally thought that once her youngest son entered the system and became an official, he would take her to the city to enjoy a good life. She boasted to people in the village every day that she was about to go to the city.
As a result, she never waited for her youngest son to come and take her to enjoy a happy life, and she spent the New Year alone.
Thinking about Wang Chunmei's miserable old age in her previous life, Jiang Tian sneered secretly in her heart.
I thought to myself that I must do one good thing in my life and help you keep your beloved little son by your side.
Didn’t Jiang Lesheng always claim that he wanted to be filial to his mother?
Then be filial in this life.
Jiang Tian had already made plans. While Jiang Lesheng, that venomous snake, was still in school and could not go home for the time being, she would take this opportunity to take control of the family's financial power. Perhaps she could also use her father's death compensation to find a way to separate from the old woman.
Even if I lose a little money, as long as I can save my brother and mother, I will just consider that little bit of money as feeding the dog.
If this family lost the hardworking Hu Qiongfang and the Jiang Leping who only knew how to make money and send it home, she might not even have to do anything herself. The lazy Wang Chunmei and the evil-minded Jiang Lesheng would just start a fight among themselves.
However, what she never expected was that she had already arranged a miserable old age for the old woman, but she didn't expect that it would never be used at all.
Who would have thought that she and her mother were out for less than two hours, and when they returned home, they saw Wang Chunmei lying on her back, straight in the yard.
A hungry pig had already knocked over the food bucket under the eaves and was grunting as it ate the delicious food.
Hu Qiongfang's head buzzed, and he dropped the carrying pole and rushed over.
Jiang Tian was also startled and hurriedly followed.
The mother and daughter came closer to take a look, and saw that the short-sleeved sweatshirt that Wang Chunmei was wearing was lifted up, revealing her wrinkled and loose belly. Looking up, there were two obvious dents on her chest.
The blood foam coming out of his mouth and nose had soaked his sweat shirt.
Hu Qiongfang was so frightened that the blood began to flow backwards and she dared not move.
Jiang Tian squatted down, stretched out her finger, and placed it under Wang Chunmei's nose to probe.
After a moment, Jiang Tian turned her head with a complicated expression, looked at her mother, and whispered -
"Mom, the milk is flat."
"It seems like it was stepped on to death by our big pig."
Hu Qiongfang's legs went limp and she fell to her knees with a thud.
What is going on?
How could a living person be trampled to death by his own pigs?
Just then, the village chief Zhou Linhai hurried over.
Early in the morning, the village received a call from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, saying that a major accident had occurred in the coal mine where Jiang Leping from their village worked. Jiang Leping and several other miners were trapped underground. When they were dug out, they were already dead...
The Public Security Bureau called and hoped that the family members could go there as soon as possible to handle the deceased's funeral, preferably direct relatives, because they also had to negotiate death compensation with the coal mine.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the door, I heard a shrill cry coming from inside.
Zhou Linhai thought that the Jiang family already knew about Jiang Leping's accident, but when he went in, he found out that it was Jiang Leping's mother who had been trampled to death by the big pig raised in the family.
This... Is the Jiang family cursed?
Two people died in one day?
For a moment, Zhou Linhai didn't even dare to face Hu Qiongfang.
This poor woman is still crying for the tragic death of her mother-in-law, completely unaware that she has become a widow.
Seeing that Hu Qiongfang was about to faint from crying, Jiang Tian sighed secretly, secretly pinched her thigh, and tried hard to hold back two tears.
"Woo woo~ Uncle Zhou, my grandma, my grandma was stepped on to death by my big pig!"
No matter how Wang Chunmei died, since she and her mother were not present, the cause of death can be determined based on the traces at the scene.
Anyway, it was trampled to death by a pig. If you don’t believe me, ask the pig!
Zhou Linhai let out an "Ah!" and it looked like his whole body was numb. He could hardly believe his ears.
He was over fifty years old, but this was the first time he heard of someone being trampled to death by a pig.
I have heard before that someone's working ox suddenly went crazy and gored its owner to death.
That didn't mean he died instantly.
Usually the bull's horns break the belly or injure the internal organs, but at least the person can be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Could it be that the Jiang family raised a pig spirit?
Can you trample a grown man to death?
But the truth is so bloody.
When they heard that Wang Chunmei's own pig was trampled to death early in the morning, everyone in the village came to watch the fun.
At this time, someone stood up to testify for Jiang Tian and her daughter. When they came out to empty the urine bucket in the morning, they did see the mother and daughter going to the rice field to collect eel fishing bait.
There was also a pile of scattered eel fishing hooks and three fish cages filled with catches in the yard.
Considering that Hu Qiongfang had been fishing for eels almost every day recently, the villagers talked about it and quickly pieced together the truth of the matter.
Hu Qiongfang cooked pig food in the morning and put it under the eaves to dry, then went to the fields with the woman to collect eels.
Who knew that the pigs at home were so hungry that they couldn't wait for Hu Qiongfang to come back to feed them, so they jumped out of the pigsty by themselves.
At this time, Wang Chunmei just got up. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door and came out, she ran into the hungry pig.
The big pig smelled the pig food under the eaves and was eager to fill its stomach, so it knocked down Wang Chunmei who was blocking its way.
Maybe he was really hungry, as he actually stepped on Wang Chunmei and ran over.
Several of his ribs were broken and his chest was flattened by a 200-pound pig. How could he not die?
Zhou Linhai: “…”
What a sin!
How could he tell Hu Qiongfang, "Don't cry yet. Besides your mother-in-law, your husband is also dead..."
