Zhou Qiongniang asked puzzledly: "What are you doing to break off those prickles?"

Jiang Tangtang ignored Luo Taohua's expression of looking at Western tricks, and said to Zhou Qiongniang: "Don't ask so many questions, just go and break them! Break them all over, and you will know in a while."

"You want them all?" Zhou Qiongniang confirmed again.

Jiang Tangtang said: "Just leave the old pile at the bottom and tear off the rest."

Zhou Qiongniang nodded in agreement, but she was not very convinced by Jiang Tangtang's words. When she went to get the backpack, she even said to Lu Shichang, "What do you mean by the third brother and sister? Tell me to pick off the pimples."

"The third brother and sister asked you to get it. She must have a reason. Why do you ask so many questions? What if it is snatched away by the world?"

Lu Shichang was anxious, so he simply took a machete and followed him, and chopped down a large cactus into the basket.

When the villagers of Dawan Village saw it, they all wondered: "Lu Erlang, why are you two going back to chop off this thorn?"

Zhou Qiongniang answered truthfully: "My third brother and sister asked us to chop it down, but I don't know what to use it for."

So after the two men carried the cactus and left, several women in the village immediately started gossiping about Jiang Tangtang.

"This Lu Sanlang's wife is really shameless. Not only did she torment her man, but she also tormented her second brother and second sister-in-law. The second Lu and his wife are also pitiful. They are two honest men, but they haven't been wiped clean by her!"

"No, Mrs. Su is also a fake shrewd person who treats such a delicious and lazy daughter-in-law as a treasure."

…

While several tongue-tied women were calling for tongue roots, Lu Shichang and Zhou Qiongniang carried the cactus to Jiang Tangtang.

"Third brother and sister, you said we got that prickly pimple. What use can it do if it's covered in prickles?" Although they tried their best to be careful, both of them were pricked several times.

Zhou Qiongniang felt a little unhappy when she looked at her hand that was pricked and bleeding.

Jiang Tangtang said: "Didn't you say that you don't have anything to cook the dry food? Use a knife to scrape off the thorns on it, and then you can put it in the pot and cook it with the dry food."

"Can this thing be eaten?" Zhou Qiongniang, who was a little unhappy because she was pricked by a thorn just now, suddenly showed joy.

They listened to Jiang Tangtang and left only a pile, cut down all the cacti on it, and filled a basket full of it.

If they can eat all these, they will make a lot of money.

Jiang Tangtang said: "Not only is it edible, it also has a lot of water. If you don't have any water, you can also use it to quench your thirst."

Hearing what Jiang Tangtang said, Zhou Qiongniang was even more happy. She didn't care about the pain anymore and quickly found a kitchen knife and scraped off the thorns on the cactus.

After scraping it off, he handed a piece to Jiang Tangtang.

Looking at the green cactus, Jiang Tangtang swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

After realizing what he had done, Jiang Tangtang closed his eyes in pain.

What a depravity.

She actually reduced herself to the point of drooling while looking at a piece of cactus.

Seeing Jiang Tangtang not answering for a long time, Zhou Qiongniang couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Third younger brother and sister?"

Jiang Tangtang pointed to the fresher cactus buds growing on the cactus branches in the basket and said, "I want this. My second sister-in-law can help me scrape off the thorns and give it to me."

Luo Taohua on the side snorted again and whispered to her husband, "You are so squeamish. I have already scraped off the thorns and gave them to her. She still thinks she is not tender enough and thinks she is the empress dowager!"

Lu Shiwang said angrily: "Just stop saying a few words! If it weren't for the three brothers and sisters, how could our family find so much food at once? You didn't even look at it. The neighbors in the village went up the mountain to look for a long time, and they only found a little bit that they could eat.

of wild vegetables.”

Luo Taohua was unconvinced, "She doesn't even dare to eat it. Who knows if it's poisonous or not."

As she said that, she glanced in the direction of Zhou Qiongniang again and said faintly: "She is the stupid one in the second child's house who goes to please that squeamish guy all day long. She thinks she can gain anything by trying to please that squeamish guy. Tsk!

"

Zhou Qiongniang now doesn't think Jiang Tangtang is squeamish at all.

She ate the piece of cactus that Jiang Tangtang didn't want. As Jiang Tangtang said, it was very watery. When she took a bite, her mouth was filled with juice.

For her, who has been dehydrated for many days and even cherishes muddy water, such food, which exudes a faint grassy smell and can both quench her thirst and fill her stomach, is simply a delicacy in the world.

As if offering a treasure, she stuffed the remaining half of the cactus into her husband's mouth. At the same time, she quickly pulled out the fresh cactus thorns and handed them to Jiang Tangtang.

She said with a flattering smile: "Third brother and sister, please eat quickly, these prickly pimples are so delicious. If you don't eat enough, I will scrape the prickles for you. If you are naughty, I will keep these tender ones for you. Take your time.

eat."

Jiang Tangtang was really thirsty and didn't care about being too particular. He closed his eyes and took a bite of the cactus.

Unappetizing.

But it's not so bad that it makes you want to vomit.

Moreover, cactus has a lot of water, so it can really quench your thirst.

Jiang Tangtang said to Zhou Qiongniang: "Second sister-in-law, please shave off another piece and I'll give it to Xiaoyan."

"Look at me, I'm so confused. I've actually forgotten our little dumb... little words." Zhou Qiongniang quickly picked a piece of tender cactus and quickly scraped the thorns on it with a knife.

Because Lu Chenyan didn't speak, people in the village called him little mute. Mr. Su and Old Man Lu didn't like this grandson who couldn't speak, and they treated him like nothing.

As a result, the Lu family all despised him, and just like the people in the village, they called him "little mute" or "little mute".

Zhou Qiongniang was so used to it that she almost didn't change her mind.

Seeing Jiang Tangtang's cold face, which seemed a little unhappy, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

She quickly scraped off the thorns of a piece of cactus and gave it to Lu Chenyan. She said in a gentle tone: "Xiaoyan, eat quickly. Auntie will make it for you after you finish."

"Mom, I want to eat too." Lu Jiaqing couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when he saw his mother fawning over Jiang Tangtang and then going to fawn over Lu Chenyan.

Lu Jiaqing is only five years old and not very sensible, but his brother Lu Jiazheng, who is now twelve years old, understands that the reason why his mother pleases them is entirely because he relies on his third aunt to find food.

Moreover, Third Uncle is very capable. The chicken they ate last night was brought from hunting by Third Uncle!

My mother curried favor with her third uncle and three aunt's family just so that they could survive on their escape.

He took his brother's hand and said, "If you want to eat, let me help you get it."

Jiang Tangtang slowly chewed the cactus buds on his hand, "Second sister-in-law can help me scrape off three more thorns."

This piece is enough for her.

Lu Chen said that he was young and could only eat one more piece at most.

Save the remaining two dollars for a handsome fairy!

Zhou Qiongniang said with a flattering smile, "As long as you want to eat, I can shave you as much as you want. I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I am not afraid of being pricked."

Luo Taohua came over with her child, and when she heard Zhou Qiongniang's flattering words, she rolled her eyes in her heart.

But now she knows that the prickly pimple is really edible, and she is not stupid enough to offend Jiang Tangtang.

He quickly said: "Second brother and sister, don't panic, I'm here to help you."

However, the Lu family only had three knives in total. Lu Shiyan went to the mountains to bring one with him, and the other two were in the hands of Lu Shichang and Zhou Qiongniang. Luo Taohua couldn't help even if she wanted to, so she could only watch and worry from the side.
