The next day.

Ji Huai went out very early, but the door of the utility room was kept tightly closed.

Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji also got up early and were busy working, feeding chickens and ducks, washing clothes, making breakfast, turning the soil and planting vegetables. Only Tang Xiuer never got up.

She is not a sleepy person. In the past, she couldn't sleep. She would have cramps several times in the middle of the night. Her chest would feel a little uncomfortable when she woke up. She would feel a little scared when she lay down to sleep. As soon as she woke up, she had to get up.

I have recently recuperated my health, my head is no longer dizzy, and my baby is older. I can kick her more energetically when I wake up early. She also gets tired easily. If she doesn’t get enough sleep, she won’t have the energy to do anything.

She had a good sleep last night, but when she got up early in the morning, the child was noisy again, and Ji Huai's breath was still lingering in the bed. She didn't get up, put her hand on her belly, and played with the child for a while.

She had always felt that she was living under someone else's roof and her status was different from that of Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji. Ji Huai's words last night reminded her.

Why not? She is now married to Ji Huai and is still pregnant with his child, so it is the same and she can refuse their requests.

When she opened the door, Sister-in-law Ji was hanging clothes. When she saw her going out, her expression changed slightly.

She didn't take Tang Xiu'er seriously before, she was just a little girl. Once, the other party really annoyed her. That day, Brother Ji's words were quite unpleasant.

They were scolded and scolded, saying that they ate bad fish and kept everything until it was bad. Brother Ji felt that he was losing face and did not treat her at all.

A good look.

Ji Huai gave them the fish in exchange for the eggs. Tang Xiuer, a little girl, kept an eye on how much they ate, otherwise how would he know they had eaten bad ones?

They were just afraid of being embarrassed, so they didn't tell anyone. Unexpectedly, Tang Xiuer actually talked about them behind their backs. Not only the family knew about it, but even the people in the village knew about it.

Now that the whole family was in disgrace, she could only vent her anger on Tang Xiuer.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law." Tang Xiuer carried the washbasin and walked to the well to fetch water to wash her face. She came to the yard and called out to the two people.

Sister-in-law Ji didn't reply, but Sister-in-law Ji replied, "We have to have lunch before you get up. Sister-in-law said, your life is really good. In the morning, I saw Ji Huai boiled eggs and left them for you."

Is it yours?"

Tang Xiuer thought of the eggs and porridge placed on the bedside and nodded.

He would not force her to get up early, and Ji Huai was not a lazy person. He knew how to cook and go to work in the mountains after eating.

When talking about eggs, Sister-in-law Ji remembered the six eggs their family gave to Ji Huai in exchange for two fish that were so bad. Moreover, Tang Xiuer even ate these eggs. She was holding back her breath.

His tone also changed, "My body is different during pregnancy. I need to take more supplements."

Tang Xiu'er hadn't heard anything yet, so she poured out the face wash and didn't know how to answer the call for a moment.

Sister-in-law Ji saw that her expression had not changed at all, and she was confused, as if she had punched cotton. She deliberately mentioned to Sister-in-law Ji, "When mother was here, we also ate eggs during the confinement period."

Quite a few.”

"Yes, I eat eggs with brown sugar. I eat them every time during confinement." Sister-in-law Ji also answered.

Ji's mother was dying, and she could only eat eggs during confinement. Isn't it just because Ji's mother was dead that Tang Xiuer could live such a comfortable life?

Tang Xiuer still didn't hear Xuan's voice. When she came over with a plate, she asked softly, "Are brown sugar eggs really delicious?"

She eats eggs every day now. If brown sugar eggs are delicious, she also wants to try them. She saw Ji's mother making them before, but where can she eat them?

Sister-in-law Ji: "...."

Sister-in-law Ji: "...."

Originally, she wanted to make a sarcastic comment, but it turned out that Tang Xiuer's clear eyes were serious, as if she was really asking if the brown sugar eggs were delicious.

Seeing that the two people's expressions were not right, she did not ask any more questions and explained her behavior, "I haven't eaten it, I'm just curious."

She was still a little embarrassed. She seemed to be very greedy. She wanted to eat whatever others said.

Ji Huai said yesterday that he was going to pick mushrooms. ‌‌‌ There were no hares. Catch one for her. She dreamed of a hare yesterday, and it was a hare stir-fried with mushrooms.

The two of them followed Tang Xiuer back to the room. Then, there was the sound of beating egg shells and the slight sound of peeling eggs. The sound of eating porridge was also very small, but both of them could hear it.

Didn't Tang Xiuer's behavior just now seem like a shame to the two of them?

Sister-in-law Ji threw the linen cloth in her hand heavily on the pole on the side, "When the wings become hard, everything starts to act like monsters."

"Isn't that right? My mother is not here now. What does the third brother, a grown man, know? A little coaxing, but he doesn't listen to what he says? She is also lucky, but now she doesn't do any work and is idle." Sister-in-law Ji followed her.

words.

When Sister-in-law Ji heard this, she was naturally even more angry.

Although she didn't give much instructions to Tang Xiuer in the past, the other party would help her with this and that. With just one word, Ji's mother would let her do the work.

Now, she is pregnant with a child, sleeps comfortably until noon, and wakes up to eat eggs. How can she be mentally balanced?

Moreover, Tang Xiu'er also did something that made her extremely disgusted. Wasn't it Tang Xiu'er's fault that the villagers ridiculed their family and Brother Ji's complaints against her?

The two of them were in a state of confusion, but Tang Xiuer in the room was not affected at all.

She drank porridge and ate eggs, and felt very energetic. She rubbed her belly for a while and talked softly to the baby in her belly.

Ji Huai wouldn't let her go out to work. He said it was too sunny outside and she shouldn't suffer from heat stroke. She still had some money from selling ginseng last time, so there was no need to work so hard.

The whole morning, Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji waited for her to go out, so they could say a few words to encourage her or ask her to do something. Who knows, she didn't go out at all, hid in the room, leaned against the bed and started embroidering purses.

‌.

at the same time.

Ji Huai was fighting a wild boar on the mountain.

He originally just wanted to pick some mushrooms and fungus, but he also came across a fruit tree along the way, so he picked one and ate it. It was sour and sweet. Tang Xiuer now liked to eat sour and sweet things, so he climbed up and wanted to give it to her.

Pick a few.

While he was in the tree, he came across a wild boar on the mountain in the distance, and immediately jumped down from the tree.

At the beginning of his injury, he was indeed afraid of wild boars, leopards and deer, and for a time he did not dare to shoot them. Because of this, Tang Xiuer was relieved to let him go into the mountains.

After experiencing death from illness and extreme despair and pain in his previous life, what was he still afraid of?

He is not afraid of anything.

Wild boars are no bigger than domestic pigs. They are smaller and more sensitive. A wild boar is hiding behind a tree trunk, looking for food with its head lowered.

Ji Huai picked up his bow and arrow and aimed at it.

With a "swish", he missed the shot, but instead alarmed it. The opponent ran away, and he moved very quickly. Almost in the next moment, he took aim again and shot the opponent's hind leg.

The wild boar was enraged and became manic.

Ji Huai ran up quickly and shot two arrows in succession. The opponent fell to the ground and was struggling. He took out his knife and struck hard and accurately, killing the wild boar.

The wild boar is not big, and it only weighs a few kilograms of meat. The prey has to be carried to the town to be sold.

He didn't even have time to catch the hare trap. After the wild boar died, he picked up the sack in the bamboo basket, packed the wild boar and carried it down the mountain.

He knew all the butchers in the town, and he had sold a deer and a leopard in the past.

If there were wild boars, they would be eager to get them.

Ji Huai waited for the butcher to butcher, asked for a piece of pork belly and a small bowl of pig blood, took the money the butcher gave him, and then hurried back.

Since he didn't pick any wild fruits, Ji Huai saw an old woman selling fruits and went to buy a few. He also passed by the mung bean cake stall that day and bought half a catty.

I don’t want to sell the mushrooms and fungus, so I’d better take them home for her to eat.

Ji Huai went to town for a trip, so he had to come back a little late. Tang Xiuer had already cooked and hadn't seen him come back yet. She was flustered. In order to prevent herself from imagining things, she carried her clothes again.

Go out and wash.

When Sister-in-law Ji was cooking, she saw that she was cooking polished rice, and it was also white rice. The rice their family ate today had a lot of sweet potatoes in it, so how could they have white rice?

Tang Xiuer has eaten white rice.

‌For some time, she had let Tang Xiuer do the work intentionally or unintentionally. ‌No, she saw that the other party was washing clothes, so she took the clothes that Brother Ji had left for today and walked over, letting Tang Xiuer wash them by the way.

Her movements were casual, she had a dead fish face, and she was not polite when speaking. She just turned around after leaving.

Tang Xiuer used to wash the whole family's clothes, and they would just put them down without asking her if she wanted to. There was no way she was willing or not. That was a task assigned to her by Ji's mother.

Is it possible that we still have nothing to eat?

Tang Xiuer looked at the dirty and muddy clothes and immediately took them out of the basin. She mustered up the courage to say to Sister-in-law Ji's back, "Our clothes have been washed. Sister-in-law, you can do it by yourself."

Wash ‌.”

Sister-in-law Ji came out of the house, happened to see this scene, and looked over there.

Sister-in-law Ji thought for a moment that she had heard wrong. She stopped and turned around. At a glance, she saw that Tang Xiuer had thrown the clothes aside and was busy fetching water to wash them again.

‌This was the first time Tang Xiuer refused her request, and Sister-in-law Ji was also slightly stunned.

"After your mother passed away, your life was really comfortable." Ji Er's sister-in-law meant something and was very angry.

In the past, Tang Xiuer worked hard and had to find work if she didn't have any.

"I'm a month old, and Ji Huai won't let me work any more. I've washed all the clothes, and I have to wash the second brother's clothes again. Besides, shouldn't second sister-in-law wash second brother's clothes?

?" Tang Xiuer stood wringing out her clothes without looking at her.

She was married to Ji Huai, not the Ji family.

The words made Sister-in-law Ji speechless. She kept her mouth shut for a long time, and then she said when Tang Xiuer was drying the clothes, "I saw you washing, didn't I ask you to help me by the way?"
