Several young men quickly carried back cabbage, radishes, hares, and fifty pounds of heavy weight.
However, it was not sent directly to the place where firewood was piled, but to Xia Qiyue's side.
Li Zheng also kept following: "Zi Chen's family, how much of this do you take out and cook for everyone to eat? You put the rest away and eat it on the way."
Xia Qiyue looked over and saw that there were not many things, four live rabbits, six dried rabbit meat, fifty pounds of large grains, twenty cabbages and thirteen radishes.
"Uncle Li Zheng, keep the dried rabbit meat. Let's kill the four rabbits and stew them. Stew the cabbage and radish. Although the oil and water are a little less, it's better than nothing. Let everyone have a full meal.
! As for the big guys, I plan to cook porridge at home, after all, the journey is still so far... I also bought big pancakes from the folks, which are enough for the big guys!"
She bought three large pancakes for two pennies, but she didn't know how big they were yet, but she should be able to eat them no matter what, right? Three thousand.
Now the total number of people left in Shanbei Village, old and young, is less than 300, which is enough for ten pancakes per person.
Besides, children can't eat that much, so there should be a lot left over, enough for them to eat for a long time.
When everyone heard that Xia Qiyue was going to treat them to a meal, they immediately became energetic and happily went to collect firewood and help light the fire. That little work was not enough.
An Qingling was not there when Xia Qiyue came over, so she took the two little ones to steal an egg. She was also careless, thinking that An Zihao had taken him somewhere.
But unexpectedly, An Zihao had been busy ahead, and it was Ge Mingyu who took him away from Liu Jiajia. Liu Jiajia couldn't stand that family, and she thought An Zihao was not worth it because he wanted to support her.
Now it seems that Ge Mingyu has not lost her conscience and took the initiative to pick up her daughter. There is no reason why she should not let others take her away.
Just like that, when An Zihao came over after following him, An Qingling could no longer be found.
He knew who had taken him away, so he went over angrily, only to see everyone in Lao An's family sitting there with bad expressions on their faces, especially his mother, Mrs. Lao An, whose face turned dark and she couldn't help but lose her temper when he saw him coming over.
Already.
"Lao Wu, you still know how to come back? You have no conscience!" The old woman started to get angry.
An Zihao was at a loss. What had he done to make his mother really angry?
"Mom, I came here to see if Ling'er was brought back by his third brother and sister-in-law!" An Zihao honestly explained his purpose of coming.
But Old Man An spoke for the first time, "Lao Wu, please stop making trouble. You won't make people laugh. Ling'er is the daughter of Lao San's family, so let them raise it by themselves. You haven't married a wife yet. Whose girl should you adopt first?"
Still marry you?"
This was one of the few times that Mr. Lao An spoke during family disputes.
When Mrs. An heard this, she immediately said, "Lao Wu, my parents are just talking angrily. You haven't married yet, how could they separate you out? If Ling'er didn't sell that girl, she didn't sell it, so don't make a fuss."
Come on, do you think you can bear to carry a really heavy luggage?"
The old couple now adopts a gentle policy, one father and one mother, which made An Zihao feel a little bit regretful.
His original intention was not to steal the child from his third brother and sister-in-law, but he just couldn't bear to see his sick little niece.
Now that his father had told him to return the child, he didn't want to take care of him so much, so he spoke.
"Father, mother, Ling'er is still so young and doesn't have her own sense of autonomy. Don't sell her. If you still sell her, I will definitely not agree to it!"
But he ignored it. If Lao An's family really wanted to sell An Qingling, what could his uncle say?
When Old Man An heard that his son had softened up with them, he quickly nodded and said that as long as Ling'er didn't agree, no one would sell her.
This incident passed easily, not as earth-shattering as when I sold my child.
Ge Mingyu and An Zikang were not given a chance to threaten their children, so it was over.
As soon as this incident was over, Mrs. An's eyes flickered, and then the next question came.
She stood up, stepped forward and dragged her fifth child over to sit down next to Old Man An.
"Lao Wu, tell your parents, did your fourth sister-in-law really earn a thousand taels of silver?"
When asking this question, the old woman's eyes flickered, full of calculation and greed.
There's nothing An Zihao can't tell. He has been with his mother for seventeen years. He knows his mother best.
"Mom, please stop asking. Whether this matter is true or not, it has nothing to do with our family. The fourth sister-in-law is not like me. She just talks about the separation of the family just to vent her anger. She has really separated the family. You guys
He didn't help her when she was in trouble, so don't worry about her now that she has some money! Just think of it as a blessing to the two children?"
An Zihao knew his family well, so as soon as he learned that his fourth sister-in-law had earned a thousand taels, he began to edit this paragraph in his mind to persuade his parents not to get into trouble with his fourth sister-in-law.
But what he said offended Mrs. An. She suddenly turned dark, pinched her waist and cursed.
"Lao Wu, it's really not what my mother said. She is Xia Qiyue. She was bought by our family! What qualifications does she have to say that we will separate the family? And at best, she is the daughter-in-law that our family bought. If it hadn't been for your fourth brother at that time
If you don't agree, she, Xia Qiyue, is a slave! What qualifications does she have to say that the family will be separated? So this family will not be divided!"
When she really said it, Liu Mei, Ge Mingyu and even Yang Qiuju's eyes lit up. If the families were not separated, then her thousand taels of silver would belong to Lao An's family, and they would also have a share.
Even if the family is separated, they will still be able to get one or two hundred taels. In that case, not only will their children go to school, but they will also build a new house, and they will suddenly become rich people.
"Mom, that's not what you said. The fourth sister-in-law has been separated by you a long time ago, and you have all seen how hard it was for her to have two children along the way. But one of you, who has helped her?
?Have you ever given her a bite of the wild vegetable paste cooked at home? Now you are talking about not separating the families. Is this okay? "
An Zihao was really angry. He didn't want to talk about it at first, but today he expressed all the anger in his heart.
The two children were not born when the fourth brother left for the army. Even the fourth brother did not know the existence of the two children, but the fourth brother was usually the best person to him.
He also wanted to take care of his wife and children for him, but he couldn't talk at all at home, so he could only secretly give his share to his two children.
However, the fourth sister-in-law was also a coward when she was at home. She was not as strong as she is now and could not protect her children. He was angry, looked down upon her, and was unwilling to pay attention to her.
But it's different now. She has become stronger and is willing to endure any hardships for her children. He can't look at his parents like this and bully her again.
"What are you talking about? It's because she wanted to separate the family and refused to come back. Old lady, I have to beg my daughter-in-law to come over and eat?"
