Chapter 37 Marmot
Zhu's face looked a little pale and she was thinner, but she was in good spirits.
Xia Dalang loved his daughter very much, and the nickname A Liu was given by Xia Dalang himself.
Xia Youcai didn't say it out loud, but he was somewhat disappointed that his eldest grandson became his eldest granddaughter. But Liu showed all her dissatisfaction on her face.
Zhu originally had a very weak character, but after giving birth to a daughter, she became stronger.
Even if Liu gave her a cold shoulder, she could ignore it.
Even though she was about to cry with anger, she could still comfort herself by not arguing with Liu and not getting angry with her.
The grandson she had been looking forward to turned into a granddaughter, which made Liu very angry. When she thought of Zhu's delicate appearance during her pregnancy, Liu felt uncomfortable all over.
During that time, Liu didn't even dare to lose her temper with Zhu, and she didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of scaring her daughter-in-law and thus hindering her precious grandson.
When I think of these things now, the unhappiness will instantly double.
However, Liu only dared to make a face and do some fighting, but she did not dare to really withhold Zhu's food.
Firstly, Liu didn't need to do the cooking herself, as her daughter-in-law had a hired cook and bought maids to serve her, so there was no need for Liu to work at all.
Secondly, Xia Dalang has the same bad temper as Xia Youcai.
Liu was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so she only dared to bully Zhu, but she didn't dare to provoke Xia Youcai, nor was she willing to bully Xia Dalang. If she bullied Zhu too harshly, she would be in trouble if she provoked these two.
She could only comfort herself:
"Ms. Zhu is still young. It's not uncommon for women to blossom before bearing fruit. At worst, I can let Ms. Zhu give birth to a few more children in the future, which can make up for today's regret."
Although Liu kept persuading herself like this, she couldn't help but frowning when she saw Zhu.
In the past, Zhu would definitely sob and shed tears.
But now, Zhu just pretended not to see it.
Liu couldn't help but feel even more aggrieved and upset.
Zhou brought Xia Daohua to visit Zhu and A Liu. Seeing this, she called Liu out and talked to her alone:
"You, you, why are you so stupid?
If you didn't want this daughter-in-law, why didn't you hire someone else?
If you want this daughter-in-law, why don't you treat her better?
If you kill her and then remarry Dalang, won't it cost money?
If you harm her to the point of killing her, and she gets sick, and her parents come after you, can you bear it?"
Zhou's series of questions left Liu speechless.
Liu couldn't explain why she disliked Zhu from the bottom of her heart. Maybe it was because she had suffered a lot in the past and didn't have such good conditions, so she always wanted to make up for it with her daughter-in-law.
Zhou saw it clearly and nodded at her:
"Old family, we have separated now. How you treat your daughter-in-law is your own business. But since Dalang wants to go to school, you will inevitably delay him by doing this! Think about it carefully!"
After Zhou finished speaking, she took Xia Daohua and left with the empty basket.
Zhou remained silent all the way until they were almost home, then she gave Xia Daohua a few instructions, asking her not to mention in front of others that her uncle had a cook and maids at his house.
Xia Daohua nodded in agreement.
Zhou sighed softly, held her granddaughter's shoulders, and slowly walked into the house.
When the magnolia flowers bloomed, Grandpa Xia had already started hoeing the fields with the men in the family.
Xia Daohua also started thinking about going into the mountains.
White magnolias and purple magnolias are in full bloom, and all kinds of wild flowers in the grass, valleys and roadsides are also in full bloom. The most dazzling are the forsythia and jasmine, which are bright yellow and bloom in large patches, bright and colorful, and very attractive.
The cherry trees and peach trees have blossomed with pale pink flowers. From a distance, they look like smoke or layers of sea of clouds.
The spring sunshine is particularly bright.
I was already starting to feel a bit heavy and stuffy in my winter clothes, but after putting on a quilted jacket, I felt a lot lighter.
After several rounds of persuasion, Xia Daohua was finally allowed to go into the mountains with Lihua to dig wild vegetables.
But once you enter the mountains, the summer rice flowers start to run wild, picking wild flowers, catching grasshoppers, breaking branches, and running around, just like a puppy that has been locked up for a long time and is suddenly released from a cage.
Lihua diligently dug two baskets of wild vegetables. The wild vegetables were just beginning to emerge and were very tender, so she didn't need to pick them carefully.
Xia Daohua was playing nearby. Lihua would occasionally glance at her, smile dotingly, and then go back to her work.
She felt that her sister had become more lively since her injury had healed. She was no longer as timid as before. Lihua liked this change very much, and her feelings for her sister grew stronger.
Seeing Lihua's attitude, Xia Daohua happily started looking for the rabbit hole.
She didn't find the rabbit hole, but she did find a nest of marmots.
This litter of marmots were very fat, with shiny and slippery fur. When they saw her, they were immediately frightened and tried to escape in a hurry.
Xia Daohua hurriedly put the whole family into the storage area of the space supermarket.
The marmots became much quieter once they entered the storage compartment.
Xia Daohua was delighted to see that this method was effective.
From now on, when catching rabbits or hunting roe deer, you don’t have to do it yourself as long as you are within the effective distance of the space supermarket.
Xia Daohua was just dreaming when suddenly everything went dark before her eyes. She slowly fell down and lay face down on the ground.
Coincidentally, Lihua just happened to notice that her sister had not been moving for a long time. She looked up to look for her, but happened to see the moment when Xia Daohua fell down.
Lihua was frightened and ran over with her skirt lifted up. She knocked over the basket and dropped the shovel. She ran over to check Xia Daohua's breath the first thing she could do.
Xia Daohua's breathing was steady, as if she was asleep.
Lihua fetched some water from the stream and sprinkled some on Xia Daohua's face, and Xia Daohua woke up slowly.
Lihua was almost crying now.
She looked at Xia Daohua's face and her short hair that didn't even reach her ears, and felt that this child had truly suffered a lot.
The fear of losing her sister at any time gripped her heart.
Xia Daohua just realized that every time she used her mind to command the space supermarket to collect items, energy was consumed.
She had just caught a litter of marmots in one go, which had over-expended her energy, and she suddenly suffered from hypoglycemia.
It seems that I have to use this method with caution in the future.
Rabbits and pheasants have to be caught one by one slowly.
If you encounter a big one, don't think about collecting it in the space supermarket.
After all, life is important!
By the way, can this method also be used to lose weight?
Xia Daohua's thoughts diverged again and her eyes became empty, until Lihua slapped her twice on the face, "pa, pa", in order to bring her soul back.
Well, the novel is set in an imaginary ancient time, and the working people eat whatever they see, but in reality, don't eat wild animals. Marmots are rodents, just like mice, and they may spread plague. So don't eat them! (It's okay to eat them in the novel) Love you! (づ￣ 3￣)づ
