Lu Ping and the others looked at the poisonous woman warily, but Jiang Ning didn't look at them. As if he was really thirsty, after drinking a bottle of water, Lu Ping couldn't help but speak first.
"you……"
Jiang Ning stood up suddenly, startling the three boys, and stared at Jiang Ning as he entered the bedroom.
It was said to be a bedroom, but in fact it was just a mound built into a room. Jiang Ning dug out a corner of the mound based on her memory and found out the private money, which her husband gave her before, plus what Li gave her, about I have one tael of silver.
Jiang Ning changed into clean clothes, then turned around and went to the courtyard to fetch water to wash away the blood on her face. She turned a blind eye to the three cubs, but aroused their curiosity. Three heads popped up from top to bottom beside the door, quietly watching. Follow Jiang Ning's movements.
Jiang Ning, who was freshening up, saw the little moves of the three cubs, pretended not to notice and turned around to go out.
The three boys by the door were looking at each other, wondering what the poisonous woman was up to.
"Brother, sister, what should we do now?"
Lu Yuan and Lu Sheng both looked at their elder brother Lu Ping, waiting for his decision. He thought for a moment and decided that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. The shadow left by the poisonous woman was too heavy on him, especially now that the poisonous woman is not normal.
"Didn't you listen to what uncle said before he left? Er Nier's matter is not over yet. Maybe the poisonous woman has another plan. Pack your things, grab some winter supplies, and run away before the poisonous woman comes back."
The three boys were busy on their own, and Jiang Ning came to the door of his neighbor Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang heard the noise coming from Jiang's courtyard, where she was feeding chickens. After listening to the whole story, Aunt Wang was about to chat with her old sisters about their family problems, but was blocked by Jiang Ning as soon as she went out.
Jiang Ning pretended not to see the embarrassment on Aunt Wang's face, and asked with a smile: "Are there any eggs at Aunt Wang's house?"
Aunt Wang doesn't like Mrs. Jiang at all. She likes to take advantage and is picky. She is still unclear. She will believe whatever her husband's family says, but she also feels a little pity for this woman. She has become the stepmother of three children at a young age. Her husband She left on her wedding night, and her feelings for Mrs. Jiang were very complicated.
"Oh, it's a girl. What's wrong? There are only two eggs left at home." Aunt Wang quickly adjusted her expression and greeted her warmly.
"The family is out of food. I want to ask your family to buy some food. If there are not many eggs, do you have rice and noodles? I will give it to aunt at the price in the county. It doesn't need to be more. It will be enough for three days. Let's see if it's convenient."
Aunt Wang was a little hesitant for a moment, looking at Mrs. Jiang up and down, and secretly muttering to herself, why is this man's words different from before.
Jiang Ning let Aunt Wang look at her with a smile. Aunt Wang met Jiang Ning's penetrating eyes and involuntarily invited the people into the courtyard.
"Then come in and I'll even it out for you."
"Hey, thank you very much, auntie. I know that Auntie Wang is the best in this village."
The smiling Aunt Wang entered the kitchen and secretly regretted it. How much money could Mrs. Jiang have? It had to be calculated based on the price in the county. If Mrs. Jiang's husband's family came to trouble her again later, it would be hard to get the money from that family. Wang Although the aunt is not weak in fighting ability, she doesn't want to cause trouble for nothing. She saw that the food was in trouble for a while, so she thought about it and chose a compromise. She gave some corn, rice and white flour, and also took two eggs.
"Sister, my eldest wife's family doesn't have much food. The eggs are laid by our own chickens. You can eat them for two days if you save them, so you don't need to pay for them."
Jiang Ning looked at the grain handed over by Aunt Wang and guessed that Aunt Wang was afraid that she would get into trouble if she had money problems, but it was better than nothing. He took the grain in one hand and stuffed more than 20 Wen to Aunt Wang in the other.
"Auntie, this is my own private money, do you think it's enough?"
Aunt Wang didn't expect that Jiang would actually give it, so she quickly said enough, refunded another ten cents, sent Jiang Ning to the door, and stuffed her with a handful of leeks.
Inside the house, the three children packed their bags. Lu Ping carried the largest baggage, which contained three people's cotton-padded clothes and a quilt. Lu Yuan carried his younger brother Lu Sheng on his back, and carried another small baggage on his arm.
As soon as the three of them walked into the yard, they saw Jiang Ning coming in with food. Lu Ping threw down his baggage and stood in front of his sister and brother. The three cubs instantly entered a fighting state.
"These things were all purchased by my father before he joined the army. They are originally ours. I can... I can deal with you once, and I can deal with you the second time. You..."
"Eh?"
Jiang Ning felt like she was about to starve to death. She didn't have time to listen to this middle-school boy's middle-school talk, so she went directly to the kitchen.
Lu Ping thought he would have a fight with the poisonous woman, but before he could finish his words, the poisonous woman left, going to the kitchen.
"The poisonous woman went to the kitchen to do it... ah!"
Jiang Ning came out with a kitchen knife, which scared Lu Yuan so much that he screamed. The three children hugged each other. Jiang Ning fetched some water to rinse the kitchen knife, and then carried a bucket of water into the kitchen.
"Brother, the poisonous woman is not going to chop us up with a kitchen knife! Let's run!" the younger brother Lu Sheng said in horror.
"She doesn't dare. Besides, there are three of us and she is only one. In the past, it was us who were in the way of our father, but we tolerated it. Now that she wants to sell Er Nier, she is no longer our mother, nor is she a stepmother. She will fight later. Get up, Lu Sheng, find a place to hide, my brother and sister are here for everything, I don’t need you."
Lu Sheng wanted to say something else, but his sister Lu Yuan immediately covered his mouth. The three of them quietly approached the kitchen and saw a scene that shocked them.
"She's cooking?"
