The 20 taels of silver obtained from selling snake skin and snake gall, the Wang family will naturally think about it, and if they want to say that they are worried, it will not be. The family is not separated, the money is in the hands of the old lady, and the eldest family is used to being poor for many years, and he doesn't feel that he should have a few money in his hands.

"Our family doesn't have much money, and over the years, we have treated the second child and your father, and we have caused a lot of famine, and we owe a lot of favors, and I plan to use this money to pay off debts."

The poverty of Lao Wang's family is not caused by one or two things.

The second child of the Wang family is paralyzed in bed, it has been almost five years, the old Wang Tou fell ill when he was young, and he was lame when he started walking last year, and he was sweating from time to time.

Not to mention such a big family, who has a headache and brain fever, even if it is only ten or eight words, it is a big expense.

In the event of conscription, the three brothers took turns to go, and the task of conscription was heavy, and every time they came back, they had to be seriously ill, and they had to be raised for a month or two to get better.

For a few years, they did not save money, but owed a dozen taels of silver.

It is said that in addition to these on the surface, my father and mother also owe a lot of money, but I don't know how much, who the creditor is, and when to pay it off.

Daddy didn't say it, and they didn't dare to ask.

Mrs. Wang didn't plan to calculate carefully with everyone, but said: "Our family owes more than 13 taels and 8 yuan for famine, which should be repaid to others, and even the principal and interest will be made up to make fifteen taels and return it to others." Everyone, the three taels of silver owed by your mother's family, you will go with the boss to pay it back when the spring begins, and the second family's ......"

After talking about everyone's division of labor, Mrs. Wang said: "The rest of the silver will be kept at home, but no one is allowed to think about this money, just treat it as if it doesn't exist!" ”

"I know what you think, it's freezing now, there is absolutely no food in the field, and your respective mothers are not rich, so you must be living tightly." Mrs. Wang looked at a room of daughters-in-law, no matter what their expressions were, and said directly, "I don't care what you think in your hearts, but at this juncture, no one is allowed to eat inside and out!" The meat, food, and even firewood we have are all from our old Wang's family, and no one should think about taking things to their mother's house at this time! Even if your mother's father and mother starve to death immediately, you are not allowed, otherwise I will beat you to death here today, do you understand?! ”

The eyes of the second daughter-in-law Ma shrank, she really thought about ordering meat and food from her mother-in-law and secretly sending them back to her parents' house.

Her mother's family was poorer than her mother-in-law's, and perhaps her poor old lady would starve to death.

"I'll eat my ......" Xiao Zhang's mouth was wide open, and before he finished speaking, he was frightened by Mrs. Wang's cannibalistic gaze.

Xiao Zhang is Mrs. Wang's niece, and the old lady is surnamed Zhang, so everyone calls her Xiao Zhang.

"Just how kind you are? Just take care of your mother's family?! Mrs. Wang looked at her with hatred, and glanced at Wang Chuanfu again, "Boss, why did you tell her!" ”

Wang Chuanfu said, "That...... Third brother and sister, we went out before, and the village outside was already eating children. At that time, they were not short of food, and even asked if there were any children in our village who needed to change food......"

He didn't want to say these words, for fear of scaring people.

Speaking of which, Wang Chuanfu couldn't go on.

The snow is too big, everyone is afraid of death, and when they are afraid to a certain extent, they dare to do anything.

Xiao Zhang's face turned white all of a sudden.

Cannibalism?!

If she is really short of food, she knows that she brings food to her mother's house, and her mother's house can be left behind? Even, Hujia Village, where her mother-in-law's house is located......

Everyone also figured this out, and they didn't dare to have any other thoughts.

Mrs. Wang was frightened when she saw these daughters-in-law, and told her sons a few words, so that everyone dispersed.

In a few days, it will be the New Year.

The people in the village got the snake meat, and their mood was better, and they began to prepare one after another.

Multigrain cakes, glutinous rice dumplings, and snake meatballs were all made one by one.

Those who had leftover fabrics at home also pulled red cloth into strips of cloth and hung them on the branches of the trees around them.

Mrs. Hu was also in a good mood, so she took out some red paper from his inventory, wrote a couplet for each family, and collected a penny meaningfully.

Everyone posted the Spring Festival couplets, and it looks like it is booming.

In the blink of an eye, the year is approaching.

The old people expected it right, on the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, a goose feather snow came again, this snow was bigger than any previous snow, and the boiling snowflakes did not take long to cover the ground.

The freshly thawed snow has solidified again.

The village chief called on the young and middle-aged people in the village to patrol the village, so that everyone else could shrink into the house if there was no major incident, and the family, regardless of men, women, old and children, as long as there was no disgrace, all huddled together, so as to be warmer.

Xiao Ayu was also wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside the family, making her shrink in the quilt.

The little lamb didn't die for several days, and it nested in Xiao Ayu's arms all the year round, seeing that it didn't mean to die, the family also gave it a little mush, just a few bites, barely hanging.

[Hey, don't feed it anymore, how precious this is!] That night, Xiao Ayu felt the little lamb twitching in his arms, so he took some magic water from the space and held it in the palm of his hand to drink.

The tip of the little lamb's nose shrugged, licked greedily, and licked Xiao Ayu's palm back and forth.

Because it was too itchy, Xiao Ayu tried very hard to hold back her laughter, for fear of waking up the family.

In the past two days, Xiao Ayu fed the little lamb two or three times with water, and the little lamb's spirit has become more and more sufficient, and his struggle has become more powerful.

Xiao Ayu also wanted to give water to A-Niang and them to drink, but she never found the opportunity.

The elf also said that she must not let her family know where she got it, or else they will be swallowed up.

Xiao Ayu didn't dare to take it directly.

The little lamb drank the water, seemed to have endless strength, and directly broke free of Xiao Ayu's hand and jumped to the ground.

The door to the bedroom was not a door, but was made of old cotton wool and bamboo strips that could not be used at all, and the lamb boy came out of the soft cloth at the bottom.

"Little lamb!" Xiao Ayu was in a hurry, shouted softly, and was about to follow.

[Bao, you haven't got your clothes on yet! 】

In fact, she wore a lot, after all, the quilt at home was not warm enough, but the thickest face jacket was not put on.

[It's going to freeze you out there!] 】

It's a pity that no matter how the group shouted, Xiao Ayu ignored it, she only felt that the little sheep was gone.

The winter night was very dark, and the Wang family had no money to light oil lamps, so it was dark all around.

Xiao Ayu got out of the quilt, pressed the quilt, and followed her memory out of the bedroom door.

She's going to find the lamb.

The lamb is her playmate.

[You go back!] The dumplings are in a hurry in the space.

This little cub is really a headache to get tough.

Xiao Ayu hurriedly stepped on her shoes and walked out of the bedroom, and the sleeping Wang Chuanman and Liu didn't feel it.

She was coaxed by the dumplings and drank two spoonfuls of Wanling Water every day, and now she is in good health and has good eyesight.

Wang Chuanman was outside their bedroom in the courtyard, and as soon as Xiao Ayu came out, the cold wind smashed on her.

Xiao Ayu trembled, but still walked forward firmly.

Because, she vaguely saw the shadow of the lamb.

[I'm really scared of you! Tuanzi had no choice but to activate the few energies in the space and make a warm protective cover for Xiao Ayu.

Xiao Ayu instantly felt cold, but she didn't have the energy to care about this, just chased the footsteps of the little lamb forward.

The cover is burned with love energy, and the tangzi's flesh hurts so much, otherwise, this cub will freeze to death soon!

Just when the dango felt helpless, it suddenly felt a special energy.

[Alas? What is that? 】

[Bao, that's the direction, hurry up, someone needs your help!] 】

[No, no, no, you go back, call the adults - go back - you go back first! ] 】
