The heavy sound of the landing no longer aroused the wolf's defense, and its eyes were already half closed.

She pursed her lips, took out two thick ropes used for tying pork, carefully tied up the wolf's big mouth and front paws, and then checked its injured hind legs.

The wolf's fur was thick, and the hair was clumped together by blood, so the injuries could not be seen clearly.

This wolf seems to look different from other wolves. Its fangs are very sharp, and its bite force must be very strong. Judging from its appearance, it looks very fierce, but its fur is unusually soft. It's a bit like the long-haired Alaskan wolf.

I don't know what kind of wolf this is. It looks very handsome.

She found the scissors the old lady had given her and carefully cut away the hair around the wound, revealing the pale flesh. Her hands didn't dare to shake, for fear of causing further damage.

The wound is quite long and looks like it was scratched by something sharp. I don’t know whether it was caused by a hunter’s arrow or a trap.

You must first disinfect the wound with alcohol and wash away the stains.

Suddenly, the wolf under his command struggled.

Jiang Yue was startled and looked up, but it was still unconscious. It must have been a subconscious action, after all, the stinging sensation of alcohol disinfection was very strong.

Apply the powder and then bandage it. This is mainly because animals like to lick their fur, so don't lick the medicine away.

She didn't have any special medicine for animals and didn't know if it would be effective for it.

But I have tried my best, and whether I can survive depends on its fate.

She secretly sighed, she never thought that the medicine she prepared was used by a wolf first.

I hope that I will be rewarded for my good deeds and have a good ending in the future.

Jiang Yue untied the rope that bound it, and then left a chicken and placed it next to it. She had deliberately chosen fat chickens, and she felt sorry for them.

"If you eat the chicken, you can't eat me!" she muttered.

After finishing, she quickly climbed out of the pit and brushed off the dust on her clothes. Although her clothes were tattered, she had to tidy them up.

She picked up the flattened backpack and sighed softly. She would have to go back and listen to the shrew's scolding again.

Turn around and continue to pick pig grass.

By the time she got back to her uncle's house, it was already noon. Farmers only had two meals a day, so she had no choice but to continue working on an empty stomach, chopping grass for the pigs.

Sure enough, when the aunt-in-law saw the broken backpack on her back, her anger from the morning came back to her, and she started cursing at her, "new hatred plus old grudges."

"You little bitch, how dare you come back? You eat and live for free every day, and you still dare to throw a tantrum?! You were born by a mother but not raised by her! You even broke my backpack! You don't even think about having dinner today!"

Jiang Yue looked at her saliva spurting out and quickly took a step back.

Hmm—I think I smell bad breath…

So disgusting.

Eugene saw her retreat and thought she was afraid, so she scolded her even more vigorously.

In reality, she ignored the insults and didn't take them to heart. It was too early to get angry before she understood the situation.

Oh, even if she behaves well, she won't have any dinner.

If you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it. Who wants to drink the water you use to wash the pot!

Jiangjia Village has more than seventy households, and the entire village is interconnected. Counting back five or six generations, they are all one family.

The villagers are poor, and most of the houses are wooden or mud houses, and some old houses are thatched houses.

Uncle Jiang Yue's family was only considered average, living in a mud house with five and a half rooms, of which the one she lived in was half a room.

Sleeping in it every day, it is no exaggeration to say that it is exposed to wind and sun.

But everyone's life was ordinary, and no one cared about whether this orphan was doing well.

In everyone’s mind, as long as they are alive, that’s enough.

To have enough food and warm clothes was a luxury. In the whole village, there was not a single fat person.

My uncle's pigpen is tattered, and there is a five-month-old spotted pig in it. Looking at its belly and thin legs, it has no potential, and there is no food to feed it. At most, it can grow to 100 kilograms.

Even so, this family is still the focus of protection. In the village, it is a great honor for a family to be able to raise pigs.

Raising pigs requires cutting grass every day and feeding them a lot, not to mention that. Just going to the pig farmer in the next village and bringing back a piglet would cost you 120 coins!

As for how the piglets will develop after they are bought back, the pig farmer does not care, and relies solely on his own ability. It feels like buying and leaving, opening a blind box with no follow-up.

Everyone worked the land, depending on the weather for their livelihood, earning less than two taels of silver a year. The poultry and livestock were considered the bulk of the family property and were registered as important assets.

Families that raise pigs are more popular than those that don't.

Some people have pig pens that are better built than their own houses...

Jiang Yue chopped the pig grass slowly, but she would eventually finish it. Eugene Hua, who was obviously a lazy person herself, just couldn't bear to see her stop.

Watching her feed the pigs, Eugene Hua came out of the house holding a basin of clothes and stuffed them into her hands. A sour and smelly wind blew in her face. "Don't be lazy, wash the clothes quickly!"

Jiang Yue took the clothes and walked to the place where the women in the village often washed clothes.

Some women saw her and greeted her casually.

"Xiaoyue, come and do the laundry."

She lowered her head and replied, "Yeah."

The villagers were already used to her taciturn nature and didn't engage her in chat, saving her the energy.

She walked a little further away, to a tree, away from everyone's gaze, but could still hear their discussions.

"This Eugene must be slacking off again! All that laundry is piled up for my niece to do."

Some people who are used to working think it's normal, "Whose daughter doesn't work? She's not our biological daughter, it's good enough that we can raise her until she's fifteen."

"That's right. Once you get through this period and get married, you'll have a good life..."

Jiang Yue's heart trembled. Damn! She forgot that she was going to get married at the age of fifteen!

She didn't think that getting married would give her a good life. The aunties in the village who married into a family still worked from morning till night, barely able to eat enough, and yet they still longed for a man to save them.

However, here, there is no precedent for establishing a female household without getting married. Most of the cases where a female household is established are because the male in the family has passed away and there are young children to raise.

But she was a young girl, and nothing she said made sense.

Moreover, for a woman living alone, gossip can drown her before danger comes.

Jiang Yue was upset. She lowered her head and looked at the pile of dirty clothes in the basin. She was disgusted and didn't want to touch them at all.

She just rolled the clothes with a washing stick and rinsed them with water.

Anyway, no matter how much I wash, it just won't get clean. Eugene Hua is stingy and can't even afford to buy soapnut powder. If I can rub out mud with my hands, how can I rub out dirt?

If she is not satisfied, whoever washes their clothes can do it. She won't do it for them.

After wetting her clothes, she sat aside and closed her eyes to rest.

Marry, who are you marrying? Run away, where are you running away to? Where is your household registration?
