farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 39

Even so, what Zhao Langzhong taught was superficial knowledge. At the beginning, Zhang Xihua was very flustered about why she knew more and more. After she figured it out, she was no longer afraid. Instead, she was glad that she could let her family live with her medical knowledge better.

After chatting a few words, Zhang Xihua begged for black rags from Aunt He and went back home. Mrs. He Zeng and his sister-in-law He Yuanyuan were doing needlework together in the yard.

He Zeng lowered her head to accept the soles of her shoes. She begged for black rags to make shoes. He Yuanyuan sat beside her and mended her clothes. Hearing the sound of footsteps, He Yuanyuan raised her head and said immediately, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do for lunch?"

He Shuan and He Sheng ate pancakes and went out to work, while the woman who stayed at home only drank some porridge in the morning, and was already hungry at this time. Although He Yuanyuan ate a sweet potato, he still felt that there was nothing in his stomach. , have been looking forward to lunch time to come quickly.She really didn't know why her mother had to save so much, and it wasn't that there was no food at home.

Zhang Xihua went through the dishes that could be cooked in her mind, but before she could answer, there was a knock on the door of He's house, thinking that something happened, Zhang Xihua and sister-in-law He Yuanyuan walked to the door at the same time.

"Auntie, are you at home?"

"Then we're in."

It sounded like brothers from the Jiang family. After a while, Jiang Dashan and Jiang Tieshan entered He's house carrying a wooden bucket. You didn't need to look closely to see that it was half a piece of pork.

He Yuanyuan shouted: "Ah! Brother Dashan, did you kill such a big wild boar? It's rare to see such a wild boar now. I must have gone to the deep mountains and old forests this time?"

She kept clapping and chatting, Jiang Tieshan was more lively than his elder brother, after hearing this, he smiled slightly and said: "It's a bit far away, but this time I have gained a lot."

There are many dangers in the remote mountains far away from the crowd. There might be wolves, tigers and the like hiding inside. The Jiang family brothers had to go all out in order to survive. They spent two days in the deep forest with fear, and hunted some pheasants, hares and other small animals.

Later, they found traces of wild boars. Jiang Dashan and Jiang Xiaoshan guarded for several days, and finally hunted a wild boar weighing about two hundred catties. Jiang Xiaoshan immediately hit his hind leg with an arrow.

The wine shops in those towns like live young wild boars the most, and the price of adult wild boars slaughtered in the past is much higher.After sorting out the harvest of this trip, the two brothers returned to the village happily.

After a short rest, the three brothers boiled hot water non-stop, shaved the pigs, and finished slaughtering them. They were used to this kind of thing, and the two hundred catties of wild boars couldn't wait to bring them to He's house after they were processed.

When He Zeng rushed to the door, he quickly stopped Jiang Dashan, and reprimanded him with a straight face: "Dashan, Tieshan, what are you doing, take them back quickly!" It's embarrassing for people to hunt hard, but I lost half of them.

Jiang Dashan rolled up his sleeves and covered his face, and said with a hearty smile, "This is a thank-you gift for Ah Sheng's daughter-in-law. Thanks to her care, Yan Niang can keep her body. This is a life-saving deed. What is this meat?"

At this time, Jiang Dashan's eyes were sunken, his whole face was unshaven, and his clothes were torn by thorns. Looking at him, Zhang Xihua knew that they hadn't had time to clean up when they got home. Mother is right, even if you have to thank me, you shouldn't thank me so much."

He Zeng said again: "Your daughter-in-law's health is critical. I sold the money to exchange for something better for her. A woman's miscarriage should be as easy as confinement."

After repeated refusals, Jiang Dashan was so speechless that he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Jiang Tieshan saw that his brother couldn't figure it out, so he said: "We have kept half a fan at home, and there is still a live one. It can be exchanged for a few taels of silver. We kept a few pheasants specially for our mother. If you refuse, how will the three of us deal with ourselves?"

The first time they couldn't get any money, the Jiang family brothers felt guilty, so they hurried into the remote mountains and old forests to try their luck.

Now that I think about it, there is really no way out.

He Yuanyuan was anxious, for fear that her mother and sister-in-law would really refuse to go. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and she couldn't help swallowing just looking at the blood-red wild pork. He Yuanyuan stomped irritably: "Mother, take it!" Come on, take it... Brother Dashan and the others said they left half of it."

Zhang Xihua sneaked a glance at her mother-in-law, knowing that her mother-in-law felt sorry for accepting so many, and said: "Mother, if we don't accept it, the two elder brothers will feel uneasy."

Seeing He Zeng's agitation, Jiang Tieshan heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately took the opportunity to say, "Auntie, I'll carry it to the yard for you, and see what I want to do with you."

After finishing speaking, the two brothers lifted the barrel immediately.
