"That's for the best." Liu Meiniang was noncommittal, but said in her heart that this Zhang Ji Han didn't seem to be hopelessly bad, and he could still be educated.

However, the most important thing now is the matter in front of you, whether it is educating Zhang Jihan and Zhang Tongtong, whether you want to make money to improve your living standards, or the premise of remarrying, you don't go to Boss Wang's.

"Alas!"

Liu Meiniang sighed softly, entered the room, sat on the stool with Zhang Li, Zhang Jihan, and Zhang Dandan, and continued to think.

It's just that I thought about it from the afternoon to the evening, but I still didn't come up with anything, but because I used my brain too much, my head hurt a little, and my stomach was hungry.

As the saying goes, people are iron when they eat steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be hungry and panicked, and they can only think of other things when their stomachs are full.

Liu Meiniang rubbed her forehead, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen of the Zhang family is open-air, and a simple stove is built out of mud in the courtyard, a large pot is placed, and the vegetables and noodles are cut on the table in the house.

Because the house is a thatched house, if you don't pay attention, it will cause a fire, so it is arranged in this way.

And there was nothing to eat, only some brown rice, a small amount of corn, a few white radish, two or three cabbages.

Fortunately, there is a well in the village, which is far away from Zhang's house, so drinking water is not a problem.

However, Liu Meiniang has never seen such a poor family in her two lives combined, and it is only a little better than people's lives during the famine, right?

Liu Meiniang sighed, scooped the rice clean with a sore brain, added water, made a fire and boiled it, took a white radish and cut it into shreds, added some coarse salt and stirred, it was a dish.

Thinking that there are many people, these must not be enough, but I don't dare to do more other things, I am afraid that there will be no food tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and finally I thought about it, so I went outside to find some fresh and tender wild vegetables, mixed some grains that were not ground into flour corn, and boiled a pot of porridge.

To be honest, this taste is really not very good, very similar to what some people give pigs to eat, but there is no way, now that they are poor, they can only find a way to fill their stomachs first.

Fortunately, after the former yard of the Zhang family was exported by Zhang Jihan, they had to pay for a new house to let the government set aside a piece of homestead, they had no silver, so they built a few thatched houses at the foot of the mountain far away from the village, where the place was remote and not suitable for living, so the government did not collect money.

It's just that there are many dangers in such a place, maybe there will be wild beasts coming down from the mountain, and they will be the first to encounter danger.

"That's it, I'm still content, to be able to live again and have a healthy body is already a gift from God." Liu Meiniang shook her head to stop herself from complaining.

"Let's eat!" She shouted into the room, scooping rice into it with a ceramic bowl.

"I'm so hungry, sister-in-law, I can finally eat!" Zhang Dandan took the lead in running out, came to the pot and sniffed intoxicated, for this little girl, no, let alone anything delicious, she was already very happy to be able to fill her stomach, and Liu Meiniang was funny and sad when she saw it.

Zhang Li and Zhang Jihan also laughed, the people take food as the sky, and the happiness brought by food made them forget the haze of Boss Wang's incident for a while.

However, Liu Meiniang saw that Zhang Tongtong did not come out for dinner, and was about to ask Zhang Li's, but she heard a rustling sound behind her, like some kind of reptile crawling sound.

At the same time, she heard Zhang Dandan's scream: "Sister-in-law, be careful, there are snakes!" ”

Liu Meiniang was shocked, and reflexively jumped to the side a big step, but it was still a step too late, only to see the green snake bounce up at the same time, and quickly bite her calf, and the strong pain of her hand came, Liu Meiniang couldn't help but scream.

At this time, because of the angle problem, Zhang Jihan and Zhang Li, who did not find the snake for the first time, also reacted, and Zhang Jihan directly picked up the stick in the corner of the wall and hit the snake.

After a while, the snake swam away, and the speed was so fast that Zhang Jihan couldn't catch up at all, and watched it swim into the mountain.

"Mei Niang, are you okay? Don't get bitten? Zhang Li ran to Liu Meiniang's side for the first time and asked worriedly.

But seeing Liu Meiniang's complicated expression and standing in place with a dull expression, no one knew, and her heart was flooded with monstrous waves.

Because at the moment when she just felt the pain, she actually felt a heat in her chest, and then a cool thing overflowed from there and flowed to her calf, and it didn't feel painful in an instant.

"Mother, you eat first, I'll go into the house and have a look." When she came back to her senses, Liu Meiniang hurriedly said a word to Zhang Li, and ran into her own room in three steps and two steps, opened her skirt, rolled up her trouser legs and looked, and sure enough, there was no trace of being bitten on her legs.

At this time, her chest was still hot, Liu Meiniang reached out and touched it, touched a hard object, took it out and saw that it was the jade pendant she carried with her in modern times, it was a relic left to her by her mother who died early, how could it be here?
