Cheng Wanwan is not a fool.
How could Zhao Sidan, a ten-year-old child, take the initiative to snatch the rabbit from this group of people?
This group of people thought that Sidan went up the mountain alone, so they dared to be so unscrupulous.
The smile on Cheng Wanwan's face turned cold: "Logically speaking, as an elder, I shouldn't argue with you kids, but you bullied my family, and I want an explanation. Don't be a rabbit, don't be a rabbit, Let’s pay the medical expenses first!”
She rolled up Zhao Sidan's sleeves. There were red marks all over her thin wrists, and the sleeves were torn.
She said coldly, "It costs about thirty or forty cents to get some medicine from Doctor Zheng, and I can't wear these clothes anymore. You have to pay for our Sidan's clothes!"
Zhang Dagang was stunned.
Zhao Sidan's hands were just a little red, but the skin was not broken or bleeding. Why did he need thirty or forty cash for medical expenses?
Also, this bastard's clothes are already in tatters and can't be worn anymore. Why should he be made to pay for it? Isn't this blackmail?
The younger brother behind Zhang Dagang whispered: "Last year, Aunt Zhao acted in front of my house for two cents, which made my mother very angry."
Now that they only have thirty or forty coins plus a whole set of clothes, Aunt Zhao, this weird and wonderful person, might take a rope and stage a scene in front of their house where she cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself...
Cheng Wanwan spoke again: "This rabbit is evidence. I think Li Zheng will be on my side..."
Zhang Dagang immediately threw away the rabbit in his hand: "It's none of our business, hurry up and leave!"
A large group of boys cheered and ran away.
"My rabbit!"
Zhao Sidansheng rushed over and hugged the rabbit who was about to escape tightly.
Cheng Wanwan opened the frivolous panel and spent two pennies on a small box of safflower ointment. She said, "Stretch out your hand."
Zhao Sidan obediently stretched out his hand. He saw his mother holding a small box and smearing something on his wrist. It was refreshing and cooling, and his wrist suddenly no longer hurt at all.
He stared blankly at Cheng Wanwan applying the medicine. His mother, who used to feel fierce, was so gentle now.
What he envied most in the past was Brother Tiezhu's mother, who was gentle and liked to laugh. She would leave all the delicious food to Brother Tiezhu, who always liked to show off in front of him.
Now that his mother has become like this, he is really happy.
But what if this is just a dream...
Zhao Sidan was happy and sad at the same time, his little face drooped.
Cheng Wanwan didn't know where such a young child could have so many little thoughts, and he was sometimes happy and sometimes worried.
She has never given birth or taken care of a child, but in this day and age, as long as she has food to eat, she can make her children happy.
She asked: "Si Dan, do you prefer steamed rabbit or braised rabbit?"
Zhao Sidan's eyes widened in horror. Rabbits are so cute, why would they eat them?
He wanted to take the rabbit home and raise it. He had already planned to build a grass nest behind the house and give the rabbit a home. From now on, he could play with the rabbit every day. This rabbit would definitely become his best friend...
Cheng Wanwan didn't know that he wanted to raise rabbits. In this year of disaster, people have no food to eat, so how can they afford to raise small animals.
She picked up the rabbit. This gray-haired rabbit was also very thin. It probably weighed less than two kilograms. It was not enough to feed each of the six members of the family.
【Ding! Found a pure wild free-range coarse-haired rabbit, weighing eight taels per catty, worth 54 cents. Do you want to sell it? 】
Cheng Wanwan took a look at the rabbit meat in the mall. Rabbits in modern farms only cost six cents a pound. This wild rabbit of less than two pounds can be replaced by a domestic rabbit weighing eight or nine pounds... In fact, farmed rabbit meat It is more tender and more delicious, but people in modern society like to pursue pure natural game, so the wild food here is relatively expensive in shopping malls.
However, Sidan was staring at the rabbit meat, so it was not suitable to sell it now.
"Mom, what happened?"
Wu Huiniang ran over in a hurry carrying a vegetable basket. She slipped and almost fell.
Cheng Wanwan quickly gave her a hand. The eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant and a little pregnant. She was reluctant to find a doctor to check her pulse. She didn't know how old she was.
But no matter how long you are pregnant, you should not go up the mountain again. If you accidentally fall, the baby in your belly may not be saved.
"Sidan caught a rabbit." Cheng Wanwan picked up the gray rabbit, "Today we eat rabbit meat."
Wu Huiniang's face was filled with joy. She had not eaten meat in her family for at least a year, but such a small rabbit certainly did not have her share. But as long as she could smell the scent of rabbit meat and take a sip of the leftover corn porridge in the morning, she was very satisfied... …Before, I couldn’t even have a sip of porridge, and I could only eat half full of wild vegetables. These two days were like a dream…
She couldn't help but said: "Mom, I can skin a rabbit. I can make a scarf for my mother by peeling off the intact skin."
As soon as he heard this, a bloody scene appeared in Zhao Sidan's mind.
He couldn't control it anymore and tears were streaming down his face.
Wu Huiniang was startled: "Sidan, what happened?"
Zhao Sidan wiped his tears with the back of his hand and could not utter a single word. His mother liked to eat rabbit meat and used rabbit hair as a scarf. If he didn't agree, would his mother change back to her original appearance... He liked to have a full meal. , He likes his gentle mother now, but he is afraid that she will not let her eat rabbits. When she gets angry, she will take all the delicious food in the house to her uncle...
Cheng Wanwan comforted him: "Si Dan, you caught this rabbit. Later you will have two more pieces of rabbit meat than them all."
Zhao Sidan cried even harder. Mom can eat it if she likes it. He won’t eat it anyway!
Cheng Wanwan just thought that he was scared by Zhang Dagang's group, and planned to go back early to braise rabbit to reward this kid.
The three of them headed back home.
Wu Huiniang's vegetable basket was full of wild bracken, Zhao Sidan's backpack was full of chicken mushrooms, and Cheng Wanwan's basket was empty.
Wu Huiniang thought silently, her mother-in-law was indeed here to watch them work...
Along the way down the mountain, I met many villagers. I originally had a bad reputation in the village and was not popular, so I saved myself a lot of hassle.
When I got home, the sun was high and it was almost noon.
There is a bucket of water in the yard at home. The second child must have picked it up and put it down before going to fetch water again.
"Mom, let me skin the rabbit first." Wu Huiniang walked over quickly.
Cheng Wanwan said seriously: "Pregnant people cannot see blood. It is not good for the child in the belly. You go and boil hot water first."
What a joke, she was going to the mall to exchange for a big rabbit, so she couldn't hide it secretly by letting the eldest daughter-in-law skin it.
Wu Huiniang was a little flattered.
After she became pregnant, she had done all kinds of heavy and tiring work. She killed the last chicken in the house half a month ago. Her mother-in-law never thought about the child in her belly... She felt that her mother-in-law was really different. Look at her. There is also a hint of gentleness in his eyes...
Cheng Wanwan carried the rabbit to the backyard, and quickly exchanged it for a fat rabbit weighing seven pounds. He sold and bought it, making a net profit of 12 cents.
While Wu Huiniang was still lighting the fire, Cheng Wanwan killed the rabbit with a knife and then began to skin it.
She was good at business, but she was really bad at peeling skin. Even after doing it, not even a single piece of skin came off. The gray fur of the rabbit was covered with blood...
