Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 23
"Did you tell that bitch that I had new clothes?"

Zhang Xiaocao turned around and looked at her lightly, neither admitting nor denying it.

Zhang Baozhu stared at her, looked at her indifferent little face without a trace of fear, and suddenly felt strange in her heart, this dead girl is really different, if it was before, she would have been trembling a long time ago, and she didn't even dare Looking at her with such eyes, but now she suddenly felt that this younger sister standing in front of her was so strange.

Thinking of this, Zhang Baozhu was very unhappy. She didn't deserve such gazes at all. She should live in her shadow and never lift her head up.

Zhang Xiaocao looked at Zhang Baozhu whose expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, and a question suddenly popped up in her mind, and she couldn't help blurting out: "Sister, why do you hate me so much? We are sisters, aren't we?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she couldn't help being stunned. She didn't intend to ask this question. Was it what the original owner always wanted to know?
She received all the memories of the original owner, including those fragmentary memories from a long time ago. When the original owner was young, although Zhang Baozhu was not good to her, at most she just ignored her. But since when, she began to target her everywhere. The original owner always provoked conflicts between the original owner and the Zhao family, which made the Zhao family hate the original owner more and more, and the original owner became more and more silent and cowardly.

Zhang Baozhu was also stunned, and then gave her a sarcasm but desolate look, her immature face was full of complex expressions, not like a 12-year-old child at all.

"Why? You ask me why? Haha, do you know that father and mother don't like their daughters, but you and I both do. The more you hate them, the more they will find that I am good, and the more they will like me. And you, you are only worthy of living under my halo, everyone only knows me, Zhang Baozhu, and you, you can only be trampled on like a grass!"

Zhang Xiaocao was shocked after hearing these words, is this still human?Selfish, even his own sister can be used as a stepping stone?
"Father and mother already like you and value you enough, isn't that enough? Don't tell me you never regarded me as your younger sister?"

Zhang Baozhu gave her a disdainful look. She never regarded this thin and useless girl as her younger sister, let alone tolerate her sharing the little attention her parents had for her daughter!
"If it wasn't for the Taoist nun who gave me the order back then, saying that I was destined to be the wife of the emperor, my parents would probably not have looked at me more. With you here, I will never be their only daughter!"

If it is not the only one, how can it be precious?Ever since she became sensible, her mother has always been nagging her in her ears. She is only allowed to stay at home to learn how to sew, and she is not allowed to go to the fields to do housework. She keeps her hands and reminds her of the good things at home, so that she will not Forget about your mother's family!

At that time, there were many things that she didn't understand. Later, when she was older, compared with her younger sister, she realized that there was a price for her mother's kindness to her. If she had a bad life in the future, mother would never want to see her.

Zhang Xiaocao didn't know what to say anymore. Zhang Baozhu was selfish, but no one was born like this. She was only 12 years old, but she learned to calculate early. The original owner died and was killed by this twisted family. Who is to blame for all this?
That day, Mrs. Zhao failed to recover Zhao Nianshi, and instead had a big fight at the head of the village, completely offending Zhao Nianshi. After returning, he scolded Zhang Baozhu severely for the first time. Didn't even eat at night.

After Zhang Dashan came back and found out about this incident, he didn't say much, but asked Mrs. Zhao to take Zhang Baozhu back to her mother's house with a gift to apologize to Zhao Nianshi, but was stabbed back by Mrs. Zhao Nianshi, and even her parents Didn't give her a good face.

Mrs. Zhao has been gloomy since she came back, and everyone in the family is cautious. Zhang Xiaocao didn't dare to go up the mountain at this time. Mrs. Zhao used this as an excuse to vent her anger on her.

Fortunately, Zhao's low pressure didn't last for a few days. Soon, Zhao once again devoted herself to finding a daughter-in-law, but before she could find a matchmaker, a major event happened, which hit the entire Zhang family. caught off guard...

The troubles of Zhang's family did not affect Zhang Xiaocao's good mood. Grandma Zhang bought rabbit skins a few times before, and got more than six taels of silver, plus the ten taels of silver she got from the sold antler and deer whip and the previous Now, she has nearly 20 taels of silver, which is really a huge sum of money for the farmers, and the entire Zhang family may not be able to come up with so much silver.

Although it didn’t snow in October, it was already frosty, and it was very cold in the morning and evening, but the garlic seedlings at Grandma Zhang’s house had already grown long, and they could be bought at the market in a few days, which made grandparents and grandchildren very happy. Both are very happy!

Because of the cold weather, many animals have hibernated, and the hares that do not hibernate rarely come out for activities, so there is no harvest now. Zhang Xiaocao still runs into the mountains, but no longer looking for the rabbits, but in the mountain stream. Dig some small traps at the water source, hoping to catch some hares, wild goats and so on.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat water, there are also farmers nearby who dig traps and beat teeth, but they dare not go deep into the mountains, and hunters who make a living look down on these small things, and often go deep into the forest to hunt bigger and more valuable guys .

Zhang Xiaocao didn't dare to run to the deep mountains, but she still had the courage to dig a few traps by the mountain streams on the edge of the deep mountains. In addition, the Zhao family has been asking matchmakers everywhere recently, and they don't have the time to find fault. For whatever reason, Zhang Baozhu didn't complain to Mrs. Zhao again, so the past few days have been extremely peaceful, as long as she doesn't delay the work at home, no one cares what she does.

On this day, Zhang Xiaocao went into the mountain again and checked three traps in a row. The mud, sand and weeds that were concealed above the traps had moved, and there were signs of animals struggling at the mouth of the pits, but the traps were too shallow to trap them.

Although she was a little disappointed, she didn't pay too much attention to it. It was just that when she approached the fourth trap, saw the light hole, and heard the movement from inside, her heart beat violently a few times.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Zhang Xiaocao walked over lightly. In the pit lay a goat with a pair of small horns on its head and a bulging belly. It was a pregnant ewe!

Hehe, God still loves her very much!
Zhang Xiaocao was very excited. The wild goat is still a pregnant wild goat. Looking at its belly, it should be giving birth soon. No wonder it can't jump out of the trap!
The ewe heard the movement, looked at Zhang Xiaocao vigilantly with a pair of bright eyes, struggled to stand up, and let out a desolate bleating sound.

When Zhang Xiaocao heard the bleating sound and looked at its bulging belly, her heart softened suddenly, and she couldn't help but softly said: "Stop barking too, I won't do anything to you!"

It's just that the ewe bird didn't bird her, in the narrow pit, kicking her limbs restlessly.
