Chapter 34 The Injured
"I have a plan."
Zhang Juexia saw that Ye Beixiu was confident and said, "My husband, do you know who set our trap?"
"Yejia Village is so small, I'm afraid only a few people know that I'm setting traps here. People from my family know that my legs are not convenient, so they will help me if they see something inappropriate, let alone move."
Ye Beixiu stopped talking at the right time, and Zhang Juexia couldn't get anything out of him no matter how much he asked.
In a hurry, Ye Beixiu didn't dig any herbs. When passing by the river, he caught a few fish and prepared to take them home to eat.
When they had rested enough and were about to go down the mountain, they saw Ye Beishan coming from another place, carrying a few wild rabbits on his shoulders. After seeing Ye Beixiu and the other man, they went down the mountain together.
Ye Beixiu told Ye Beishan that the trap had been tampered with.
Ye Beishan's face showed anger, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "When I went up the mountain this morning, I ran into Qin Eryong. He was carrying a few hares and pheasants, but he was injured on his arm."
Ye Beixiu asked hurriedly, "Brother, is his injured arm his right arm? He's bleeding a lot."
Ye Beishan thought about it and said, "It should be."
"That's right."
Ye Beishan said fiercely, "Our family was blind to get engaged to the girl from the Qin family. When I get down the mountain, I'm going to break his other arm and see if he dares to steal from others again."
Ye Beixiu glanced at Zhang Juexia, then looked at Ye Beishan, "Brother, I know what's going on. I'm not going to let him off this time."
After hearing what Ye Beixiu said, Ye Beishan didn't say anything more. "Since you already know the situation, I won't interfere. If you need my help, just tell me."
"Um."
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Ye Beishan left two hares behind. "The first meal we'll have when we build the house the day after tomorrow can't be shabby. Consider it an extra dish for you."
After saying this, he disappeared without waiting for Ye Beixiu to reply.
Zhang Juexia shouted from behind, "Brother, I have to ask my sister-in-law to help me cook that day."
Ye Beishan waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
After returning home, Ye Beixiu went to the backyard to settle the rabbits and pheasants.
Zhang Juexia poured the fish into a wooden basin filled with water. After watching them swim happily, she stood up, took out the peppercorns and fungus from her backpack, and hung them out to dry in the yard.
After finishing all this, she washed herself and prepared to cook.
When they went to town yesterday, they bought a lot of vegetables and some meat. If they hadn't gone too late and the owner had sold the pork offal, she would have ordered some more.
When she mentioned that she wanted to buy pig offal, the butcher looked at her as if she were a monster, "Young lady, you are looking down on me. How can I make money with pig offal?
How can I, Zhu Si, still survive in this town? If the housekeeper of the wealthy Li family hadn't informed me long ago that his dog had run out of dog food, maybe I could have left some for you today.
How about this, come back next time at the market, and I'll definitely save some for you."
The butcher shop owner was so enthusiastic that Zhang Juexia was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly. After all, his family was building a house and it was not sure whether he would be free at the next market.
After Zhang Juexia steamed the rice in the pot, he went to the well and took out the chilled meat and vegetables in the well, cut off a small piece, and put it back into the well.
She looked at the vegetables and prepared to smash a cucumber and then stir-fry beans and meat.
After washing the cucumber, use a knife to cut it into small pieces, put it into a plate, add mashed garlic, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil, and a serving of cold cucumber salad is ready.
Pick and wash the beans, cut into sections, heat the oil pan, put the chopped pork belly into the pan, stir-fry most of the fat in the meat, add soy sauce, add the beans and continue to stir-fry. After stir-frying for a while, add hot water and simmer for a while. When the meat and beans are cooked, they can be served.
She was almost done cooking when Ye Beixiu came in, smelling the aroma. "That female rabbit is probably about to give birth."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Juexia put down the weapons in his hands and ran to the backyard. Ye Beixiu couldn't stop him, so he could only follow him.
"Husband, do you need to give it some more food?"
“I don’t think so!”
"Will it be useless then?"
"I don't know either."
Ye Beixiu was really troubled when he heard the questions asked by his young wife. "I have already done everything I need to do. If it were in the mountains, it would still give birth as it should. Let's go eat quickly! I am starving."
Zhang Juexia then walked to the front yard, looking back every two steps, "Husband, will they be in the way in the backyard?"
"It will be in the way, but I will build a nest for them in front of our shack."
After hearing what Ye Beixiu said, Zhang Juexia finally felt relieved and sat in the kitchen to eat.
After dinner, Ye Beixiu went out without saying what he was going to do.
Zhang Juexia found the vegetable seeds given by Wang Guilan and prepared to plant them in the yard.
When preparing to build the house, she thought that the land she and Li Yiqun had dug out in the yard was all in vain. As a result, during dinner today, Ye Beixiu discussed with her that they wanted to build the house a little further back.
What he considered was that the current courtyard was a little forward, and people from both the mountain and the people below could see it from afar.
If the yard is built further back, the concealment effect will be better.
Of course Zhang Juexia agreed with both hands. After all, the land in the back mountain belonged to them, so he had nothing to worry about.
Her vegetable garden was also saved.
Ye Beixiu went out quickly and came back quickly. When he saw Zhang Juexia planting vegetables, he went forward to help without saying a word.
After finishing planting in and outside the yard, Ye Beixiu helped carry a load of water, and Zhang Juexia sprinkled it on the ground with a ladle.
After finishing, she felt that something was still missing. "Husband, we're going to need a lot of people to build the house. Let's go to the back mountain and cut some branches to make a fence!"
When they arrived at the back mountain, the two men saw the wasteland they had cleared that day. They had originally planned to weed the land again in a few days, and then find some black soil from the mountain to mix with the current soil.
But later on, there was no time left, so Zhang Juexia gritted his teeth and decided to just grow some vegetables.
If you can’t finish it, you can sell it in town. It’s better than leaving it idle.
As for the land for growing wheat, I will build a house when the time comes and then slowly search the back mountain. I will definitely find a suitable one.
After finishing all this, it was completely dark.
When steaming rice in the morning, Zhang Juexia deliberately steamed some more. Ye Beixiu wanted to eat fried rice with eggs, so she went into the kitchen to make it.
Before she finished making the fried rice, she heard the door of her house open. Ye Beixiu was standing at the door, talking to someone. When she called him to eat, the man had already left.
Zhang Juexia asked curiously, "Who was that person who just came?"
