But after all, soone has died, it’s a big deal, and naturally they were all apprehensive.
Yet so people thought that Li Chuntao’s mother spoke so lightly only because their family lived well and didn’t have to go up the mountain to do that dangerous work. "Aunt Li, what you’re saying is indeed quite reasonable, but after all, soone died on that mountain, and everyone is scared."
Li Chuntao’s mother usually doesn’t talk about others’ affairs, but today, faced with the Zhong family’s issue, she spoke her mind.
It’s all because of the relationship between her daughter Chuntao and Xiaoxiao from the Zhong family.
Her daughter Chuntao doesn’t usually mingle much with others in the village; she just stays close to Xiaoxiao from the Zhong family. Her daughter finally found a close friend, and now the friend’s family is in trouble. As a mother, though she couldn’t offer much help, she could at least say sothing.
The most important thing is that her daughter has been trying to lose weight recently, wanting to marry Xiaoxiao’s little uncle, suffering quite a bit for it.
Just for that connection, she should lend a hand. Besides, hiring people for this work isn’t a big deal; you can hire people for corn shucking anywhere.
Thinking of her chubby, prosperous-looking daughter now turned all skinny, looking like she hadn’t eaten anything nutritious, she felt so distressed, she couldn’t even bear to think about it!
Li Chuntao’s mother didn’t directly answer whether the mountain is dangerous; she simply said, "So things are just a matter of luck, if the luck is bad, you might even get struck by lightning on a rainy day or choke while eating. Do these things often happen? Once in several decades maybe. If you worry like this, you wouldn’t even eat."
Though Li Chuntao’s mother didn’t ntion the mountain directly, everyone present understood the underlying aning. The Zhong family has worked on that mountain for decades, and only this one accident happened. Surely, they would be more careful from now on, and probably there wouldn’t be any problems.
It can only be said that the young man from the Feng family was just too unlucky. If a person’s lifespan is up, maybe Heaven will take them unexpectedly; worrying won’t help. Haven’t they heard enough of such things?
Plagues, drowning, being bitten by beasts — if your luck is bad, even walking can lead to accidents.
After hearing Li Chuntao’s mother say so much, everyone ca to realize that the Zhong family is facing trouble now, but when they recover, such good opportunities wouldn’t be available. By then, it would be too late to want to be involved.
Thinking of this, everyone started speaking up.
"Aunt Li, I have sothing at ho, I’ll go back first."
" too, going back ho first."
"..."
"..."
In no ti, the chatting won on the square dispersed, all hurrying back ho to discuss the matter with their families. Such a good opportunity, they definitely want to partake, afraid they might miss it later.
At this mont, Xiaoxiao was stunned. She didn’t expect that her Zhong family’s words didn’t work, nor did the Village Chief’s, but a few words from Li Chuntao’s mother surprisingly did.
And looking at their expressions, it was evident they were all brainwashed.
Xiaoxiao had to admire her, but also wondered how Li Chuntao’s mother held such weight in their words.
Nonetheless, if this matter worked out, they really ought to thank Li Chuntao’s mother.
