Chapter 812: Chapter 815: A Bear Look
Wei Clan’s matriarch loved nothing more than chaos. She believed that if the Tam Family’s Second Family was causing a racket, the Third Family couldn’t possibly sit by idly.
So, seizing the moment during a break, she sidled up to Li Clan’s matriarch, "You must have secured the Fourth Boss’s thresher by now, right? Once you’re done, could you let my family borrow it?"
She wasn’t about to tell her that since her own Third Boss went to Xuan Eagle Mountain Village, they could use it for half a day free of charge.
Li Clan’s matriarch curled her lip, "Borrow it? With Qiao Duo’er being so stingy, how could I possibly manage that?"
"Really? But your land is only two mu, plus the two mu you rent, you won’t need it for half a day. Just lend it to my family once you’re done, and I’ll treat you to a meal once this busy period is over."
Wei Clan’s matriarch looked skeptical but felt a surge of malicious glee internally.
After all, the Tan Family Members had treated the Fourth Boss’s couple so poorly, it served them right they couldn’t borrow it!
"Why would I lie to you? I’m still looking to borrow one from somebody else..."
Li Clan’s matriarch suddenly recalled something, her gaze filled with rage when she looked at Wei Clan’s matriarch.
This woman had to be here to mock her!
Previously, when Boss Zhou’s Third Brother was chosen, the old lady was so proud she was nearly bursting with joy.
"Even the Fourth Boss is such a miser," Wei Clan’s matriarch rambled on without a care, "Third Brother already learned his lesson, so why is he still holding on to that matter?"
Third Brother’s loss was not small; they say up to now, Tan Zhongzhong’s ’thing’ hasn’t been put to use. It’s probably driving Li Clan’s matriarch crazy.
Couples don’t come together for that ’thing’, but without it, things definitely don’t work.
Li Clan’s matriarch spoke gravely, "Don’t always talk about other people’s business; you should keep a tighter leash on your own man."
It was said that Boss Zhou was often seen loitering around Widow Xú’s doorstep.
"My man is just fine; every night he’s full of vigor," Wei Clan’s matriarch giggled, well aware of her husband’s nature—he had the desire but not the courage, daring only to think about it.
Li Clan’s matriarch, with a darkened face, snapped, "You shameless hussy, get lost!"
"If your man isn’t up to task, you could always turn to Lao Guang to ’extinguish the fire’," whispered Wei Clan’s matriarch.
All the village women knew what Lao Guang was good for; he could stand in for any man temporarily and guaranteed satisfaction.
Before Li Clan’s matriarch could respond, Wei Clan’s matriarch had already returned to her own field.
Li Clan’s matriarch, seething with pent-up anger and in need of an outlet, spotted Third Brother Tan sitting on the edge of a field.
"You useless thing, haven’t you rested long enough?" Li Clan’s matriarch poked Tan Zhongzhong’s head.
"I’ve been at it for an hour, what’s wrong with having a sip of water?"
Third Brother Tan looked at Li Clan’s matriarch, baffled. He was just taking a break; what was this woman going on about now?
Li Clan’s matriarch scoffed lightly, "You have the nerve to ask what’s wrong? Look around, everyone else has threshing machines, and you’ve just got your two hands. You’re already slower than everyone else, and you’re still dawdling?"
Just thinking about beating the grains out herself was giving her a headache.
Tan Zhongzhong finally understood. His wife was being this impossible because she wanted to borrow the thresher.
"Bring Twenty Wen Money then. Or you can talk to the Fourth Boss yourself because I sure can’t open my mouth on this."
He stated bluntly.
He was already a laughingstock; not settling down would be like dropping his trousers for everyone to mock, right?
Li Clan’s matriarch’s inner thoughts were hit squarely, her face awkward, but her fury intensified.
If that particular thing didn’t work, was he really not a man? He couldn’t even handle this small matter!
"If it wasn’t for you fancying someone else’s wife, would it have come to this? All Tan men are pussies, and the brothers are all useless! A few years ago, everyone was equally poor, and now the Lin Family has built a new house, the Li Family has added a new ox cart, but all our family amounts to nothing!"
Li Clan’s matriarch started her endless complaining again, something she did every few days over the past six months.
