Zhang picked up a wild sweet potato, feeling both proud and moved. She ate one, and with tears in her eyes, she said to her mother-in-law:

"Mother, I told you Xing'er is a good girl. She will listen to me and she will change."

Liu nodded with a complicated expression, but she didn't eat the wild sweet potato. She didn't believe that such a rascal could suddenly become good. Maybe, like Peach Blossom said, she was up to something bad.

the other side.

Twenty households came to the village.

Li Laojiu from the village entrance, Liu Mugen from the village end, and other people who were on good terms with Li Fusheng all came, but they were all there to help. Everyone knew that Fusheng's family had been struck by lightning.

After finally managing to get a wild boar, I need to sell it for money to buy stones to build a house.

Moreover, Fusheng's wife is sick.

The villagers helped to slaughter the pig and shave off the wild boar's hair, leaving only the hair on the trotters to prove it was a wild boar. In addition, each household in the village contributed some grain.

This is enough to feed Fusheng's family for three to five days.

Li Fusheng was so moved by the villagers that he didn't know what to say. After slaughtering the pig, he first asked Xing'er what she wanted. Xing'er wanted to share some of the pig's meat, heart, lungs, and bones with the villagers.

We'll sell the rest of the meat tomorrow to get money.

Li Fusheng smiled and agreed. Xing'er is such a sensible girl now.

Liu Mugen was chopping wood when he sighed to Fusheng:

"Fusheng, you've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Although the lightning destroyed the house, Xing'er has become so sensible. I heard she hunted the wild boar herself, which makes her much better than most hunters."

Li Fusheng wiped his sweat and said:

"I don't ask her to be very sensible, I just ask that she doesn't cause me any trouble. This afternoon she hit her head and got such a big hole, I was terrified."

Li Fugui laughed heartily after hearing this:

"Fusheng, I think Xing'er's appearance has changed. You're probably going to enjoy her great fortune in the future."

"Who knows, we might get to enjoy the good life too. We practically raised this girl together; she ate a lot of food in our house when she was little."

The farmers present couldn't help but laugh at these words.

Xing'er got along well with most of the children in the village since she was a child. Every mealtime she would be at one house or another. Although everyone disliked her for stealing chickens and dogs, she also got along well with her own children.

Sometimes, when adults scold her, her own child will stand up for Xing'er.

the other side.

Xing'er knew that the villagers didn't know how to clean pig intestines, let alone flour, which was a precious commodity, and it would be troublesome to prepare it for cooking.

She looked at the burnt ashes on the ground and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Dog, Iron Egg, help me get all this burnt ashes over here."

The dog looked at the campfire not far away and asked in confusion:

"Sister Xing'er, why are you doing this?"

"Would you like to eat some delicious pig intestines?"

"Uh, my mom said it smells like poop inside, and it will take a long time to clean it up when we get back, but it tastes really good once it's clean, it's just too much trouble."

Seeing the expression on Xing'er's face, Tie Dan quickly asked:

"Sister Xing'er, have you come up with a way to clean the pig intestines?"

Xing'er chuckled:

"Come on, I'll teach you a trick today."

"Cao'er, you and Zhaodi go and get me the pig intestines first."

"Okay, we'll go right away."

"Dog, Iron Egg, go home and get some more ash from under the stove. Before you do, sift it with a winnowing basket to make it finer."

"Okay, we'll go right away."

Gou'er and Tie Dan got up and ran home. The two of them rushed home and started working on the stove, carrying a load of ashes from the stove.

Li Taohua, who was not far away, felt nauseous at the sight of Xing'er and her maternal relatives' children being so close.

She said angrily:

"Look at her, how has she changed? She's still the same. She always turns to outsiders. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was Gou'er's or Tie Dan's kid. Brother, I told you this sister is useless."

She'd be better off dead.

Li Dashan simply gave a muffled "hmm".

He knew why Xing'er always liked to play with other dolls; it was because her brothers and sisters at home didn't like her, so she had to go outside to play with other people.

"Never mind her, let's go and brew the medicine for Mother first."

"I think Mother is better now without medicine. Look, isn't she much better?"

"Second sister, Father and Mother are just too biased towards Third Sister."

"Big brother, second sister is right. I think as long as third sister does one good deed, Dad and Mom will be very happy. Let's wait and see, she can't keep up the act for long. She'll definitely make sure everyone prepares the wild boar meat she brought back."

Then I'll send it to Nan Xiucai first thing tomorrow morning.

Third Sister has done this disgusting thing countless times.

Li Xiaoshan cursed angrily.

Upon hearing this, Li Taohua and Li Dashan nodded in agreement.

They wailed inwardly, realizing that only their father and mother could never see through Xing'er's true colors.

Xing'er had already started inflating the pig intestines and tying them up with rope.

This scene almost left Tiger Head speechless.

Xing'er never did these kinds of chores before; they were the ones who did them.

she.....

Wasn't she most afraid of getting dirty and doing these things that would make the scholar look down on her?

While everyone was still wondering, she had already blown up the pig intestines and then had Gou'er, Tiedan, Zhaodi, and Cao'er coat them with wood ash.

The grass asked, puzzled:

"Sister Xing'er, is this really going to work?"

"Sister Xing'er, I'm also a little skeptical. This ash is so dirty, how can it possibly clean pig intestines?"

Xing'er smirked and said:

"It stinks now, but it'll smell amazing once it's done."

"Hurry up, get to work!"

The children nodded in agreement, hoping that Sister Xing'er would give them just a little bit of meat.

Xing'er led them to scrub the inside and outside of the toilet with wood ash, and then went to the neighbor's house to borrow water to wash it. They washed for almost half an hour, and it was already dark, but they still weren't clean.

However, in the countryside, as long as there is a moon at night, you can see clearly even without turning on the lights. In order for Fusheng to be able to sell pork the next day, the villagers worked hard until midnight.

The work is finally finished.

The twenty catties of pig intestines were divided among the families, with half a catty going to each family. The pig lungs were kept to nourish Zhang's body. The pig bones weighed out to sixty catties, and Xing'er decided to distribute twenty catties among the families.

Only Gou'er, Tie Dan, Hu Tou, Cao'er, and Zhao Di were given a piece of pork fat separately.

The kids were beaming with joy.

Because there was nowhere to sleep tonight, the villagers brought out straw from their homes and laid it under the tree. Li Fusheng, along with his wife, his mother, and their six children, Xing'er, temporarily made do with the accommodation.

It was past midnight.

The village dogs and cats were all asleep.

The moon is asleep too.

However, Zhang coughed softly from time to time due to a cold.

"Cough cough cough~"

Upon hearing this, Li Xing'er quietly got up and walked towards the river.
