The Devil Emperor's Crazy Concubine

Chapter 286
"En." Liu Sanniang nodded, seeing that the needle and thread did not lift up.

"Let's make up after washing." Zhang Xiaowan said with a smile.

"Replenish and wash."

"Where did dad go?" Zhang Xiaowan suddenly remembered.

"out."

"Has the tax and food been delivered?"

"I delivered it yesterday." Liu Sanniang answered every question, but Zhang Xiaowan asked this, and the clothes were mended, so she took the clothes and went out.

Zhang Xiaowan originally wanted to tell her to keep the clothes and wash them tomorrow when she was ready, but looking at Liu Sanniang's back, she felt that there was no need to be so aggressive.

She and them are a family, and she is really not a savior, and her abilities are limited, so they need to support each other, so that the family can get out of the hunger and cold.

It won't work on her own.

If she tries to be brave, don't let her current body fail, even if she is replaced by a good, moderate body, she may end up exhausted first.

This illness, Zhang Xiaowan was able to understand everything.

**
That night, when Zhang Afu didn't come back, Liu Sanniang knew that he had gone out to pick taro.

Zhang Xiaowan didn't know what to say, if Zhang Afu...

"I put on an extra coat for your father, brought a few cakes, fed him and dressed him warmly, and drove slowly, nothing will happen." In contrast, compared with the strong reaction of the first time, Liu Sanniang this time seems to be Much calmer.

"Oh." Zhang Xiaowan could only nod, hurriedly ate the taro porridge made by Liu Sanniang with polished rice, and asked again, "How many copper coins do we have?"

"120." Liu Sanniang didn't speak at first, and then said in a low voice after a while.

380 copper plates, she was sick for two days, only 120 left?Zhang Xiaowan gasped inwardly, thinking that if he woke up one day later, he might not be able to keep the 120 copper coins.

After eating and sleeping outside for nearly seven days, she lost all the money she got in two or three days!She also wanted to save it for Liu Sanniang's delivery.

This is great, seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, I can't go outside...

Zhang Xiaowan immediately understood why Zhang Afu had to go through this experience, if he didn't take advantage of the coldness of the past few days to get some taro back, he might be able to survive this winter.

After sending out the tax rations, they paid back those who borrowed, but there was not much left, not enough to feed a family of five.

"You don't plan to go to the top of the mountain, do you?" Zhang Xiaowan asked hesitantly.

"I didn't allow him to go, your father knew that." Liu Sanniang took the bowl she had finished eating, and left after saying this.

Zhang Xiaowan lay back on the bed, listening to the voice of Liu Sanniang talking to Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Xiaodi outside the house, he couldn't help laughing bitterly.

These days are so difficult...

The next day, Zhang Xiaowan was able to go to the ground, and with some strength, she was able to go down to the ground to cook and cook. But she herself also paid attention not to touch the cold water too much, and waited until she got better.

In the evening, Zhang Afu came back and brought back a basket of taro. Zhang Xiaowan cooked him a large bowl of thick ginger soup and poured it down. Seeing her father, who was getting thinner but in better spirits, his heart was filled with anxiety. Mixed feelings.

This man stood up with his weak body when the family needed him.

In fact, when you think about it, he is not useless. The two old couples in the Zhang family think he is useless, but what Zhang Xiaowan has seen in the past month is that as long as something happens, even if Zhang Afu cannot breathe, he will to do.

It's just because of my health, I can do it slowly, and I can't do it well, but in this way, in the eyes of others, a man who wants to be the head of the family has done so little, and his health is not very good. Didn't do the same anymore.

But compared to an idle guy with a family in the village, I don't know how much better it is.

So what if you are in good health?Not to mention helping the woman to support the family, he is not even willing to do the work, and the man who beats his wife and scolds his children all day long is actually no better than Zhang Afu.

As for that family, even if some land was handed down from the family, they did not produce much food, and their livelihood was still good, but compared to their Zhang family who had no land, life was equally difficult.

Looking at Liu Sanniang smirked a few times when he came back, and helped her put her things away, Zhang Afu, who was sitting by the fire to warm up, thought about the two days who fell asleep on the pit of the thatched cottage not far away. Zhang Xiaowan, a child of Amicao, was also a little relieved - thinking about it, God let her travel to this home, maybe it was because she and them were in the same boat and depended on each other.

Her luck is not too bad.

**
Zhang Xiaowan's disease has caused a lot of trouble in the village, especially the Zhang family hired a doctor and took the medicine. It seems that it cost money. It is also known that Liu Sanniang bought clothes for Zhang Xiaowan. Now, many people are secretly guessing where their family’s money came from. Even Zhang Afu’s mother, Aunt Zhang, who brought back the borrowed rice a few days ago, knew that Zhang Xiaowan was not dead. Also came to ask.

Now all the food of the Zhang family is hidden in the room where the three children sleep, so I don't worry that Mrs. Zhang, who doesn't like the three children of the Zhang family, will find out.

However, Zhang Xiaowan was still upset when he saw Aunt Zhang looking around as soon as she entered the door of their thatched cottage.

Liu Sanniang invited her to sit down in the main room where she usually eats. The main room was not big, so there was an earthen table, a few benches, and a small fire next to it.

"I'm going to die, it's burning fire in broad daylight, so much firewood..." When Aunt Zhang saw the fire, her eyes almost popped out. She leaned over and looked at the fire with her hands and legs, then quickly straightened up He yelled at Liu Sanniang, "How do you manage the family? My daughter is a waste of money, so what happened to you?"
