But that place is not close; it takes an hour to walk up a mountain path.

It's getting late, so we'll have to go tomorrow.

Just as I made up my mind, I heard footsteps and the sound of wailing coming from the doorway.

Sounds like Erwa. Wasn't he supposed to be delivering some fried pork cracklings? Why is he crying now?

Yin Lan, a young girl in the prime of her life, now felt the heart of an old mother. She took a few steps outside and saw Erwa crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, holding some kind of dark object in his hand.

After Yin Lan brought Erwa into the house, he sobbed as he recounted what had happened. Although he was brave when he bit people, he was actually quite scared.

Yin Lan's expression turned stern. This widow Ye really was always stirring up trouble. Tian Youwei was now on her blacklist.

"What's that in your hand?" Yin Lan asked, looking at what Erwa was clutching tightly.

Erwa suddenly realized what was happening and immediately dropped the item.

Those were the straw sandals that Tian Youwei used to hit Erwa on the head. They had been worn for who knows how long and were now completely black and worn out.

Erwa was too nervous just now, so he subconsciously took it, but he didn't expect to take it home directly.

Yin Lan's eyes lit up.

The system suddenly announced in my mind: "[A cultural relic, a straw sandal, has been discovered. Should we auction it?]"

"Mom, I'll take it out and throw it away!" The eldest son was so angry that his face turned red because the second son had been beaten.

"No!" Yin Lan immediately stopped her.

Well done! Well done! Why didn't Erwa's little head get hit a few more times so we could get both straw sandals back?

Yin Lan, who had just been frowning, now beamed with joy. "I'll go throw it away! I'll go!"

Then he dashed out the door.

What a joke! Even though the two kids are young, you can't just perform the shoe-disappearing trick in front of them.

Suddenly, Yin Lan had a thought: she might actually be able to use this system to perform magic tricks on the street. She would definitely fool these ancient people who had never seen the world, and she would guarantee that no one could see through her magic tricks!

Of course, this was just a random thought of hers.

With a thought, Yin Lan directly selected the auction option in the system, and soon the auction was successful, with a transaction amount of one hundred coins.

What a pleasant surprise! Yin Lan was overjoyed.

inside the house.

Two kids: ......

Eldest child: "Why do I feel like you got hit, but Mom is actually quite happy?"

Erwa firmly stated, "Mother is forcing a smile to comfort me. She must be very sad. She didn't want me to see her cry, so she went out."

Big Brother: ......

With two potential business opportunities in hand, and having eaten a hearty dinner, after feeding the three children, one adult and three children slept together in the big bed.

This time, when Yin Lan called the two children to bed, they were less hesitant and afraid.

They now understood that their mother truly intended for them to sleep in the bed.

The bed is so comfortable and warm, it's almost like heaven.

Erwa snuggled up next to Yinlan and slept, the little stove nestled in her arms, keeping her warm.

Da Wa ignored Yin Lan's hints to let him sleep on the other side; he was still not used to it and slept alone on the other side.

Well, another small stove is also nice for warming your feet.

Although the quilt wasn't thick, Yin Lan, who was holding two small stoves, slept extremely comfortably.

On the other hand, Tian Youwei was not so comfortable.

As soon as he got home, Widow Ye noticed that he was missing one shoe.

The widow picked up a carrying pole and immediately started hitting him, yelling, "You good-for-nothing! Where have you been gallivanting off to? You've even lost a shoe! Do you know how much a pair of shoes costs? You debt-collecting wretch..."

As Tian Youwei dodged, he cursed, "If you can't even raise me properly, why did you give birth to me? My father was also cursed to death by you. Go ahead and hit me, just beat me to death."

Widow Ye was so angry that her chest ached.

After getting a beating, Tian Youwei had no choice but to go back to the original spot to find his shoes; his mother wouldn't let him off easily if he couldn't find them.

It was right here, in the dark. He searched back and forth several times, but still couldn't find a trace of the shoes.

After returning home, Widow Ye, not seeing the shoes, started beating Tian Youwei again. No matter how he dodged, he would still get hit a few times. His eyes were swollen, and he had several bumps on his hands and legs. His whole body ached.

Finally, all he could do was shout and dodge, "Chen Erqi, it's Chen Erwa! I threw my shoes at him, he must have taken them! He's keeping my shoes!"

Widow Ye suddenly stopped moving.

Just as Tian Youwei breathed a sigh of relief, Widow Ye became aggressive again, yelling, "You hit someone! Who told you to mess with their family, huh?"

"Just a spendthrift woman, I... ahhh..."

Widow Ye beat him even more fiercely.

She finally stopped when she was completely exhausted.

She originally intended to cause trouble for the Yin family, but since it was someone else who did it, she decided to avoid getting involved with them openly and making things too ugly.

but...

Since things have already come to this, and besides, she knew that Madam Yin seemed to have used her allowance to buy a lot of white rice and fatty meat.

She narrowed her eyes, shooting out a greedy glint.

His child stole his own child's shoes. Wait until she goes to Yin Lan's house in a big way and finds the things, then let's see how arrogant she can still be, and how she can still deny it.

At that time, it won't just be your own child who will be mistaken for a thief; your Yin family's child will also be considered a thief.

Moreover, she could legitimately ask for some grain back; it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to ask for some grain as compensation for stealing the shoes.

Thinking of this, Widow Ye was no longer angry.

Besides, if anything happens later, it's xxx and Yin's affair, what does it have to do with her? Nobody can drag her into this.

After making up her mind, Widow Ye's mood inexplicably improved.

"Come in, I'm telling you, tomorrow, when you go to the Yin family, you should say this... this... this..." Widow Ye taught her son a new way of speaking, she certainly couldn't let anyone know that her child had cursed people, the one who did the bad thing was the Chen family boy.

"Did you understand? Did you remember it?"

Tian Youwei scratched his head. "Mom, tell me again."

Widow Ye: ...Repeating it again.

Tian Youwei: Mother...can you say it again...?

Widow Ye: ...

On the fifth try, she finally snapped, "You idiot! How could I have given birth to such a stupid thing? You're so young, and you still can't remember after five tries? Is your brain just for decoration?"

Tian Youwei also got angry, "Mother, that's because you always say one different thing! Which one am I supposed to remember? You forgot what you said last time, didn't you?"

Widow Ye: ......

She picked up the carrying pole, ready to beat someone again.

The village head's house was not far from the Tian family's house.

The commotion was so loud that the village head naturally heard it, as did his mother and wife.
