Zhao Dashan was chopping firewood in the yard.

Smelling the scent of rabbit meat, his saliva flowed out.

When no one was paying attention, he quickly wiped it, and turned around to see the fourth child's tongue sticking out, licking the scent in the air, like a hungry puppy.

"It smells so good..."

Zhao Sidan kept swallowing and couldn't finish it.

He had only drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, so he shouldn't be hungry. Why was his stomach growling all the time?

He walked uncontrollably towards the kitchen. He saw bubbling in the pot. Carrots were added to the rabbit meat. The pot was full, and soup kept oozing from the gaps in the pot.

Cheng Wanwan also had a headache. The pot was not big to begin with and had a hole in it. She would have to buy a new pot from the mall when she had the opportunity.

She put the lid on the pot, cracked an egg on the stove, put it into a bowl and stirred it, preparing to make wild mushroom egg soup.

There is also a lot of long beans, which can be fried and eaten directly. They should taste pretty good.

Seeing her like this, Wu Huiniang was already numb. Her mother-in-law had been acting strangely since yesterday. She had to eat everything in the house in one meal, as if she no longer planned to live her life...

Forget it, just eat what you have at home, and feel relieved after eating, lest your mother-in-law give it to the Cheng family again...

Wu Huiniang helped quickly.

Cheng Wanwan turned around and saw Zhao Sidan standing at the door of the kitchen, drooling on his clothes.

She smiled and opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma immediately filled her nostrils. She picked up a piece of rabbit meat and said with a smile: "Four eggs, open your mouth."

Zhao Sidan opened his mouth blankly.

Cheng Wanwan blew on it and stuffed the rabbit meat into his mouth.

"Well!"

Zhao Sidan opened his eyes wide. Oh my god, it was so delicious. He had never eaten such delicious food. He wanted to swallow it with his tongue.

Cheng Wanwan asked him: "Is rabbit meat delicious?"

Zhao Sidan was stunned again. Is this rabbit meat? Should he spit it out...

Just as he was thinking about it, Cheng Wanwan stuffed another piece of rabbit meat into his mouth: "Go and call your second brother and third brother back for dinner."

Zhao Sidan swallowed it whole, it tasted so good... He could only say sorry to Rabbit silently in his heart...

He quickly ran out to find his second brother and his third brother when they came back for dinner.

Wu Huiniang quickly scooped up a large pot of rabbit meat, then made a mushroom and egg soup under the instruction of her mother-in-law, fried a long bean, and finally poured the corn into the pot and simmered it.

On the small wooden table, there were three dishes and six bowls of corn rice.

Zhao Dashan didn't even want to chop wood anymore. His mouth kept secreting saliva and his eyes kept looking at the dinner table.

Wu Huiniang went out to wipe his sweat and whispered: "Da Shan, is it really okay to eat like this..."

I ate so much white rice in one meal last night, and today I ate all the corn and stewed all the rabbit meat. I am full today, but what are we going to eat tomorrow? Are we really going to drink the northwest wind?

Zhao Dashan split the firewood vigorously: "My mother's arrangement must be reasonable. Just listen to her."

Wu Huiniang stopped thinking about it and bent down to pick up the chopped firewood and put it neatly in the kitchen.

Cheng Wanwan was sitting on a stool in the main room, holding a big leaf in her hand to fan herself. The weather was really too hot. After working in the kitchen for a while, she was covered in sweat. She had to take a shower tonight. bath.

Just after sitting for a while, Zhao Sidan ran back: "Mom, Brother Tiezhu said he saw the second brother and the third brother going to Chengjia Village."

Chengjia Village is the village where the original mother's family lived. It is not far from Dahe Village. It takes about an hour to go back and forth.

What are these two boys doing in Chengjia Village?

Cheng Wanwan threw away the leaves and stood up: "Dashan, come with me to Cheng's house!"

Last night, the second and third children wanted to go to Chengjia Village to collect debts. After she objected, she thought the two boys had stopped, but she unexpectedly ran over secretly.

The people in Chengjia Village are all surnamed Cheng, and they have been one family for three generations. How could they allow two boys named Zhao to go and run wild?

Cheng Wanwan and Zhao Dashan didn't even bother to eat, and rushed to Chengjia Village under the noon sun.

In the original body's memory, Chengjia Village was really not far away. The original body would go back to her parents' home every now and then, but Cheng Wanwan felt it was so far away. She couldn't walk on both legs, and she hadn't seen any tiles in Cheng's home yet. .

It was really difficult for people in ancient times. They relied on two legs to get around, and they had to doubt their lives.

When she gets rich, she must buy a carriage.

Thinking of this, Cheng Wanwan smiled bitterly. One moment she wanted to buy a big quilt, another moment she wanted to buy a pot, now she wanted to build a house, and now she wanted to buy a carriage. She thought it was beautiful, but the reality was cruel...

After walking for who knows how long, I finally saw a village.

Chengjia Village has a larger population and looks wealthier than Dahe Village. The only thing they have in common is that this village also lacks water and the rice fields are dry.

Cheng walked to the door of Cheng's house in a familiar way.

Before she even entered, she saw a scene that made her eyes wide open.

Zhao Ergou and Zhao Sanniu were tied with ropes to the locust tree in the yard, under direct sunlight and without water. The two children's lips were chapped and bleeding, and their little faces were extremely pale, as if they would faint in the next second.

"Two dogs!"

"Three cows!"

Zhao Dashan rushed in angrily.

When the two saw their elder brother coming, they thought he was coming to save them. When they looked up, they saw Cheng Wanwan walking in with a serious face. They were so frightened that their faces turned even paler.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, my mother was angry at the Cheng family, and they came to stand up for her, but in the end, she was beaten severely in turn.

In short, no matter how bad the Cheng family is, my mother will not allow them to cause trouble to the Cheng family.

But they were too angry, so they came over secretly. It didn't matter if they didn't get the twenty taels of silver back. No matter what, the Cheng family would have to suffer some losses...

But things seem to have been messed up by them. Will Mom be more interested in the Cheng family...

Zhao Ergou and Zhao Sanniu leaned against the big locust tree weakly, their lips were chapped and it hurt terribly if they moved them even slightly.

"Da Shan Niang, you came just in time!" Mrs. Cheng walked out of the house angrily, "These two boys from the Zhao family are so useless! They actually came to our Cheng family to steal chickens. The last big chicken in the Cheng family The hen's neck was broken by these two bitches. This hen laid one egg a day, thirty eggs a month, which could be exchanged for dozens of copper coins, and it was just gone..."

Cheng Wanwan looked at the two boys who were tied up. They didn't dare to look at her. In other words, what Mrs. Cheng said was true.

Old Mrs. Cheng said confidently: "This chicken is a great contributor to our Cheng family. Your eldest nephew's ability to study depends on this chicken laying eggs! I don't want more, just two taels of silver, give it to me now!"

Hearing this, Cheng Wanwan laughed.

The Cheng family is also interesting. Yesterday, they beat the original body to a bloody head and died from excessive blood loss. Today, they tied up the two sons of the original body, and now they have the nerve to speak like a lion!

Even though food is in short supply now, big hens on the market are not that expensive. You can buy dozens of chickens for two taels of silver.

Also, Cheng Zhao's ability to study was due to her aunt's years of subsidies. What does this have to do with this hen?

Since we have to settle accounts, let’s settle them one by one!
