Dong Wan greeted halfway up the hill and grinned as she went to pick up the big bowl in Chunni's hand, "Nizi, why are you here again?" still take food, your mother-in-law should scold you for eating inside and outside when she sees it. ”

Chunni gasped twice, glared at Pu Cao fiercely, and said with half emotion and half distress, "You didn't hang the beam of the hanging house, but you broke your head open, and you actually understand the world, if you had this look a few years ago, you would have saved so much hardship." ”

Dong Wan touched the bruises on her neck that hadn't gone away after three days, and she didn't know how to deal with it, so she had to smirk, and her already thin little face looked even uglier.

Chunni sat on the boulder, endured and endured but still scolded, "Damn old Zhang's family, I have trampled you for more than ten years, and I took you out of the house when I was about to die, and I didn't even leave you a place to live, how will you live in the future?" ”

Pucao found a clean pottery bowl and scooped most of it into the water for her, but smiled and persuaded, "Nizi, don't worry about me, I can always live with hands and feet." ”

Chunni saw that her expression really didn't look sad, but she was really relieved, no matter how timid Pucao was, how cowardly, how to make her grit her teeth with hatred, in the end, it was a sister who had known each other for seven or eight years, and it had become a habit to take care of her, if she really had a good one, how could she give it up?

"It's best if you think like this, don't do stupid things to me in the future, if I know that you are looking for death again, I'll... I'll strangle you first. ”

Pu Cao hurriedly patted her chest and promised, "No, no, I will live a good life in the future, earn a lot of silver, make new dresses, and wear them separately." ”

Chunni obviously didn't believe it but kindly refused to hit her, so she handed the big pottery bowl in her hand and said, "Here, I slaughtered a chicken that doesn't lay eggs at home, and stewed it for an hour to replenish your body, and there are two cakes here, let's eat them together." ”

Pu Cao was overjoyed, the bowl of thin porridge just now was not even half full, it was empty panic, she hurriedly picked up a piece of chicken leg and gnawed it, halfway through eating, she suddenly remembered that Chunni's mother-in-law regarded the hen as an eyeball, so she hurriedly spit out the chicken and asked, "Aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will kill you, you actually slaughtered the hen?" ”

Chunni's eyes darkened, she snorted in her nose, and said with great disdain, "Kill me?" She can't wait to kick me and my son out of the Liu family, and then the family business will be left to her beloved little son, I feel like a mirror in my heart. ”

"Then you're still giving her this excuse?"

"Sooner or later, it's more appropriate for me to have a son now," Chunni is not a fool, and she broke her fingers to settle accounts for Dong Wan, "At this time, I can divide the family, and my son and I can get an acre of fertile land, as well as the small earthen house in the west of the village, which is next to the old house of the Zhang family, although it is dilapidated, but repaired, I just picked my own door to live, and received an acre of land of grain back, I raised chickens and pigs, and gave birth to children and rabbits to fight pheasants, all of which are their own inputs, unlike the original ones that had to be handed over to the old lady, and they were held to death, and my mother had a birthday." , I want to buy a ruler and ask the old lady for money, provoking her to roll her eyes like sending a beggar. ”

Dong Wan nodded, she had to live her life more freely, "Just think about it, don't regret it in the future." ”

Chunni stretched out her finger and poked Dong Wan's head fiercely, and said with a smile, "You can go with a smile, I will live by myself, you don't have to live in this broken shack, move to my house, as long as you can stand the gossip of those long-tongued women in the village, even if you live until you are old." ”

Dong Wan exhaled in pain, stretched out her hand and rubbed her head, but she really felt warm in her heart for the first selfless care she received after coming to another world, and couldn't help but reach out and hug Chunni's shoulder, and said softly, "Nizi, you will definitely be very blessed in the future." ”

Chunni was a little unaccustomed to being so close to people, blushed slightly, broke free and said angrily, "I am a good person and have good rewards, of course I will be blessed." Eat the chicken, it's going to get cold in a while. ”

Dong Wan thought about it, but turned around and shouted behind the shack, "Peach blossoms, Shanzi, come out." ”

Peach Blossom and Shanzi were huddled together and listened to the movement in a whisper, and when they heard Dong Wan's call, they held hands and walked out cautiously, glancing at Chunni's dark face, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

Chunni was really annoyed, originally she thought that Pu Cao's near death this time was an enlightenment, and she was no longer entangled with the Zhang family, whether she remarried or went to the city to find a job in the future, it was many times better than the original days, never thought that she still hid the children of the Zhang family in her own broken shack?

"You, you fool, you're going to me off to death, you haven't suffered enough in the Zhang family, and now you can't eat enough and have no place to live, and you still take care of the little cub for the dead ghost mother and son, you are really stupid! Also, also, isn't this kid the head of the village squatting, why did he come to you, and you still plan to open a relief yard? ”

Dong Wan gave Peach Blossom a look, signaled her to quickly take the chicken and hide elsewhere to eat, and then reached out and whispered to Chunni, who was angry and wanted to leave, "Nizi, you listen to me, I have my plans." ”

Chunni thumped her chest hard, finally calmed down, and said angrily, "Okay, you say, you say, I'll see what tricks you can come up with." ”

Dong Wan was helpless, carefully sorted out the results of the morning, and said, "Nizi, you said that if I live with you and my son in the future, it will definitely not work, it's not that I'm afraid of gossip, I'm afraid that even your mother's family will be faceless when the time comes, and I'm an abandoned woman who just goes out to find a job to do, and no one is willing to take me in." I thought about it, and it was better to stay in the village. ”

Chunni frowned, "If you stay in the village and you don't go to my house, then how are you going to live?" How cold is it this winter, we can't survive living in a shack, and you almost froze to death the year before last, have you forgotten? ”

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten," Dong Wan hurriedly shook her head, "Although the deed of the Zhang family's house was mortgaged by the female liar to the pawnshop in the city, but in our small ravine, there may not be anyone willing to come to live, maybe it can't be sold for a while, I wonder if the Zhang family still has two acres of bud valley confiscated, if the bud valley is taken back and sold for silver money, the house can be redeemed." ”

Chunni grinned, looked at Dong Wan as if she was looking at a fool, and sighed and said, "I thought you were enlightened, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid, the courtyard of the Zhang family is newly repaired, and it is worth five taels of silver." The two acres of land of Baogu went to pay taxes, and all of them were sold for at most three taels of silver, and the pawnshop could let you redeem the title deed? ”

Dong Wan had already thought of a countermeasure to this problem, and looked left and right at no one around, so she smiled mysteriously, "It depends on my ingenuity." After saying that, she pulled Chunni to her and whispered to her ear for a long time.

Chunni's already big eyes opened more and more, and finally even opened her mouth, and she couldn't help but praise, "This method is really good, Pucao, is this what you came up with?" ”

Dong Wan was very proud when she got the praise, nodded and smiled, "Of course!" I don't have to worry about having a house to survive the winter, and besides, I have a good way, maybe I can earn some money back in the winter. ”

With the good method just now as a foreshadowing, Chunni was already convinced of the fact that Pucao had become smarter, where would she ask more, and said again and again, "I'll let Shengzi go up the mountain in a while, and I'll accompany you into the courtyard at night." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something, and suddenly deflated again, "Pu Cao, it's good for you to do this, but you forgot, the two acres of bud valley land of the Zhang family have been asked to go by Zhang Laoer's family, and a house finch has flown in the sky in their family, and they have to pull the hair down, and the bud grain stick that is swallowed in the stomach can still be willing to spit it out?" ”

Dong Wan picked up the chopsticks with two bread cakes and turned around slowly, as if she wasn't worried at all, "If you take the benefits, you will naturally have to pay the price, otherwise this world will not be chaotic."

Zhang Lao Er occupies the bud valley land, he has to provide Zhang Gui with a study, and he has to prepare a dowry for the peach blossoms, how many years do you think the two acres of bud valley land will be planted to get enough of these silver money, they are not fools, they naturally can distinguish the weight. ”

"Then you... If you want to go back to the two acres of bud valley land, you still plan to send Zhang Guier to study and buy a dowry for Peach Blossom? You're so willing! Chunni really couldn't figure out what Pucao was going to do.

Dong Wan glanced at the peach blossoms that were peeling chicken skin for Shanzi, sighed and said, "Willing, willing, giving will be gained, I will naturally not treat myself badly." However, if the children are good, I naturally want to treat them well, and if things change one day, well... Let's talk about it. ”

Chunni saw that she seemed to have made up her mind, so she stopped persuading, "That's okay, you go to Lizheng in the afternoon, I will shout at the few aunts on the front street who don't like Zhang Er's family, and someone will help you." ”

"Okay, that's it, the matter is that I invite you to eat braised pork." Dong Wan got up and patted the leaves on the hem of her skirt for Chunni, Chunni laughed, "You just have a house to live in, and you can't drink the bud porridge, I will lose my teeth from eating your big piece of meat." ”

The two parted after a few words of laughter, Chunni trotted down the hill along the path, Dong Wan watched her chubby figure disappear into the corner, exhaled a long breath, looked up at the surrounding green mountains, villages, and the sun above her head, and finally said to herself, "Dong Wan, you will be Pucao in the future, live a good life." ”

Peach Blossom and Shanzi ran out from behind the shack with half a bowl of chicken, and when they saw Pucao standing there in a daze, they hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, you also eat chicken." ”

Pu Cao turned around and smiled brightly, and responded, "Sister-in-law doesn't eat, if you are full, go and call Zhang Gui'er to come over, and tell him that if you want to continue studying in the future, if you want to eat your stomach, come over quickly." ”
