"What else do you think?"
Wang Cuilan said in a bad tone: "If you had something to eat, how could you tighten your belt for so long?"
I rarely stock up on food at home, basically I stock up on as much food as I can eat.
But after Mrs. Wang's family and Lin Min's family came, they ate as much as they could. They wanted to eat all the food they had stored at home. Then they blamed them for not having much delicious food. Why are they so shameless?
Now the heavy rain has been falling for a month, and the food in the family is getting less and less. Everyone is not full. When they need to eat less, because Wang Goudan is hungry, Wang Po secretly cooks it for him. Got so much food.
She secretly cooked food for a large group of people for three days, but Wang Cuilan was so angry that she started to quarrel with Granny Wang.
Grandma Wang righteously yelled, saying that her little grandson, Wang Goudan, didn’t have enough to eat, so why should he cook more food and eat it secretly? Is the family just short of food? ?
"Oh, weren't I thinking about stewing those rabbits raised by your third daughter? Since there is nothing to eat at home, I have to eat those rabbits."
She is just a rabbit raised by a girl. She should be used to fill everyone's stomach. If she makes trouble, then kick them out.
In their time, when there was no food, many families would throw their girls outside to starve or freeze to death in order to give their boys an extra mouthful of milk or rice.
It was a natural disaster, and all the crops were destroyed. Seeing that there was not much harvest this year, she planned to use Wang Laidi as a child bride or daughter-in-law in exchange for some food, so that the men in the family could have enough to eat.
rabbit?
Lin Min's eyes lit up. He had forgotten about the fat rabbits he had raised. He thought for a moment that the meat he hadn't eaten for a long time might be in his mouth tonight, and he couldn't stop swallowing.
In addition, he had been starving for almost a month, and all his fat flesh had fallen off, making the forest man look as sinister as a weasel.
"Yes, my sister-in-law can finally eat the rabbit." As soon as the forest man poked Su, he said quickly: "There is no food in the house, so we can't continue to feed the rabbit. Besides, your family's richest and second richest people My two grandsons are sick, so we can’t let them go hungry too.”
Those are seven or eight fat and big rabbits. You can tell by looking at the fur that they are very well raised. There are also litters of little rabbits. After eating the big ones and eating the small ones, they will be able to support the disaster relief anyway. .
Mrs. Su didn't want to talk at first, but thinking that her son Lin Mingze was about to starve, she was no longer afraid of the aggressive Wang Cuilan and kept urging her to catch two rabbits and stew them.
She even rolled up her sleeves in a hurry, preparing to go out in the rain and catch two rabbits to eat.
"no!"
Those rabbits were fed to the granddaughter one by one. How could he eat them so easily? Besides, he didn’t even tell his granddaughter what to do if she found out and got angry.
Wang Cuilan refused without hesitation: "Don't touch the rabbit yet. Let's wait until I have time to discuss it with Rong Yatou and she agrees before we eat it."
"A bad rabbit actually wants to discuss with Yatou Pianzi. If he doesn't agree, he'll beat her until she agrees." Wang Po muttered, turning her head away and not continuing to speak.
Because their family has been separated, there is no need to stay here. What if Wang Cuilan is angry and her family is kicked out if she says something.
Wang Cuilan's face sank. Since Mrs. Wang didn't speak loudly, she didn't say anything to her. She just walked towards the backyard with a dark face.
After a while, Grandma Wang, who had been talking for a while, knocked on the door: "My dear grandson, are you asleep? I have something to tell you."
The family could no longer afford to eat, and even had to eat rabbits raised by their children to fill their stomachs. This made Wang Cuilan a little confused. Reason told her that this was the right thing to do, but her feelings made it difficult for her.
After all, Wang Cuilan knew that these rabbits were very important to her granddaughter. She wanted to recycle them and keep them through the winter. She would go to town every now and then to sell the rabbits for money.
Wang Cuilan struggled for a while, thinking that the whole family could not open the pot. At this time, she was still thinking about whether to sell it in the winter for money. It was better to survive now than anything else.
"I didn't sleep."
Already guessing the purpose of Wang Cuilan's knock on the door, Lin Xiangrong responded softly, got off the kang, opened the door, and smiled dreamily at Wang Cuilan, who looked a little embarrassed: "Mistress, what are you doing here?"
Although I have guessed a little, I still have to ask, what if I am not here for rabbits, but for something else?
She took two steps back and stared at Wang Cuilan with a pair of penetrating eyes. When she saw that the other party looked embarrassed and his eyes kept dodging as if he did not dare to face her, she confirmed her guess.
"There is no food at home, so I thought of eating your rabbits first."
After saying this, Wang Cuilan felt completely uncomfortable. She kept hesitating and hesitating, as if she couldn't face her granddaughter. She thought for a while and then said: "Don't worry, wait until there is food at home." After that, I’ll find a way to get that rabbit back to you.”
"It's okay, you can eat the milk if you want. How can you be angry because of a few rabbits if you are a member of your family? It's better to have a full stomach first before talking about anything else."
Lin Xiangrong didn't react much, but nodded quickly, turned around, grabbed a coat and put it on his body, and went to see the rabbits raised in the shed with Wang Cuilan.
She pointed at a few of the rabbits that were not very lively and had round bellies and said, "Milk, these are female rabbits. They are already pregnant with cubs. They will probably give birth to cubs in a while. You can eat the other rabbits first."
"OK."
Wang Cuilan stared at the rabbits for a while, then took them out and put them in a separate small enclosure. In order to avoid catching them by mistake, they were locked with a chain.
She said: "You are always sick. Even if there is no food supply at home, you will not be short of food. It is best to eat everything given to you, otherwise the illness will not be cured for a long time."
My granddaughter is very weak. Although she rarely gets sick, it takes a long time to recover every time she gets sick.
In addition, the heavy rain is pouring now, the air is getting more and more humid, and the wind can make people shiver, making the disease more and more difficult to recover from. She quickly took her granddaughter back to the house: "Kill a rabbit to eat at night. I’ll leave you a thigh to chew on.”
Then he touched his granddaughter's head and went to the front yard with a bluffing face. Before she could open the door, she heard a noise inside, so loud that it seemed that she could hear it in the backyard.
"What are you doing? They are all noisy and shouting about something."
Wang Cuilan's face darkened. She loudly interrupted the shouting inside. When she opened the door, she was scolded all over her face. Seeing that the room was quiet, she asked: "Is there something you can't talk about? What's going on, sir?" It was so noisy that I could almost hear it in the backyard.”
Lin Dawei gave her a look, his eyes fell on Dafu who kept coughing, indicating to Wang Cuilan that the problem came from here.
