Chapter 233 Live in your house, beat your child
Zhao Cuifang kept praising her son Dunzi in front of Li Wanqing for a long time.
Li Wanqing's ears were so calloused from listening that she didn't know how to respond in the end and could only deal with it with "hmm hmm".
At the end of her speech, Zhao Cuifang realized that she had said too much, and she stopped talking embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Third Sister-in-law, I lost control and said too much."
"It's okay. You must be thirsty after talking so much. Drink some water." Li Wanqing handed over the cup.
"I'm really thirsty, please don't be offended, sister-in-law. I've been in this mountain all day, with no one around, and I'm really feeling thirsty.
That's when I couldn't stop myself from talking too much." Zhao Cuifang explained sheepishly.
Li Wanqing nodded in understanding. It was true that in these mountains, she wouldn't see a single outsider for several months.
If Gu Chuan went hunting far away and couldn't come back for ten days or half a month, Zhao Cuifang would be suffocated to death if she didn't talk to herself.
The two talked for a while, and seeing that it was time to make lunch, Zhao Cuifang got up and went back to cook.
After seeing Zhao Cuifang off, Li Wanqing began to prepare lunch.
Li Wanqing walked around the kitchen. There were rice, flour and oil in the kitchen, but no vegetables.
She did have it in her space, but with the child there, she couldn't just take it out out of thin air.
Li Wanqing thought for a moment, picked up the basket and went out.
There are many wild vegetables in the mountains. Although it is late autumn now, there are still many wild vegetables under the shade of the trees.
There are also mushrooms. Although it is the season for picking mushrooms, most of the mushrooms have already rotted, but there are still some dried mushrooms left. Of course, there are also new ones growing, but not as many as in the summer.
Li Wanqing went out for a walk and came back with a basket of wild vegetables in just half an hour.
When Gu Yan came back with the two children, Li Wanqing had already steamed the rice.
The wild vegetables have been picked and washed and are ready to be put into the pot.
"Mom, mom, we're back." Hengheng came in trotting.
"Don't run, don't run, be careful, what if you fall?
Look at your face full of sweat from running. Come here, let me wipe it for you." Li Wanqing took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his head.
Hengheng tilted his head back and waited obediently for her to wipe him.
"Okay, go wash your hands and drink some water first. If you're hungry, have a snack." After wiping the sweat off his face, Li Wanqing patted Hengheng's forehead.
"Hehehe." Hengheng ran to wash his hands with a silly smile.
When Li Wanqing turned around, she saw Xuanxuan looking at her enviously, so she quickly pulled him over.
"Come, let me wipe your sweat too. It's getting cold now, be careful not to catch a cold." Li Wanqing gently wiped Xuanxuan's sweat again.
Although Xuanxuan's face was red, he waited obediently for Li Wanqing to wipe it.
"Okay, go ahead and have some snacks with your brother. Mom will make chicken soup for you." Li Wanqing patted Xuanxuan's shoulder.
Xuanxuan ran out shyly.
Li Wanqing finally had time to talk to Gu Yan: "How was your harvest today?"
"It was okay, I shot three pheasants and two rabbits.
I have picked all the dates and am waiting to collect them later.
Wife, you take a rest, I'll make the chicken soup." Gu Yan said, and took the kitchen knife from Li Wanqing's hand.
Li Wanqing didn't argue with him, she gave up her seat and let him do it.
"Wife, I plan to go somewhere far away tomorrow. You should stay at home with the two children and don't go far." Gu Yan talked to Li Wanqing while chopping the pheasant.
"It's not convenient for me to go with you this year. How about we not go this year? It will be difficult to transport the game back.
Besides, it’s not safe for you to go alone, and our family doesn’t need that much, so let’s forget about it this year.” Li Wanqing was worried about Gu Yan and didn’t want him to go.
"It's okay. I won't go too far. There's a herd of bison 20 kilometers away from here. I'll go see if I can kill one.
I remember there's not much beef left in the space, so I'll go get one for us to eat." Gu Yan said.
"No, it's too dangerous. Although there are only a few dozen kilograms of beef left in the space, we don't have to eat beef. The same goes for pork." Li Wanqing still disagreed.
“Just take the two of them around here and hunt some small things.
Then pick up some more pine nuts and walnuts. I heard that pregnant women can eat more walnuts to nourish their brains. I am pregnant, so I need to eat more.
There are also mushrooms and black fungus. Although they are a bit gone now, there are still some intact ones. I asked the two children to pick them up.
There's also firewood. We don't have much at home. If you have time, chop some dead trees. I'll store them in my space and find a way to get them out."
The family used a lot of firewood, so usually Gu Yan would take Uncle Wang and Guangming to the mountains to collect it.
Of course, every year when they went into the mountains, Gu Yan would cut down more dead trees and ask Li Wanqing to store them in her space and take them out when she had the chance.
Seeing that his wife didn't agree with him going, Gu Yan had no choice.
But he was unwilling to let her stop him from going, and he still wanted to persuade her: "How about this, I won't go to hunt the buffalo, I will go over there and take a look.
There is also a stream over there, and many wild animals go there to drink water.
There are not only bison, but also wild sheep, and occasionally wild deer and roe deer.
I'll go see what's going on, and if it's a bison I'll hide.
If there are wild sheep or wild deer, I will take action."
"That's fine, but you must remember not to do anything dangerous.
You have to think about it, you are not yourself now, you have me and the children behind you.
If something happens to you, how will we, an orphan and a widow, survive?
Even if I can make money, I can't avoid being bullied." Li Wanqing said.
Gu Yan was stunned by what Li Wanqing said. No, he decided not to do it.
He can't let anything happen to him. Just thinking about his wife and children being bullied by others makes Gu Yan feel unbearable.
"No, wife, I will definitely not take any risks. Even for your sake, I will be careful." Gu Yan quickly assured.
It turned out that Gu Yan was thinking of fooling around first. Would his wife be really angry when he hit her back?
However, after hearing what Li Wanqing said, Gu Yan no longer had any ideas.
"It's good that you know this, but I'm telling you, if anything happens to you, I won't be there for you.
If I find someone suitable, I will definitely remarry. I will then let him live in your house, sleep with your wife, and even beat your child," Li Wanqing said.
"You dare." Not to mention imagining it, just hearing Gu Yan's words was unbearable.
"Let me see if I dare." Li Wanqing was not afraid of Gu Yan's change of expression at all.
"Wife, don't scare me, I can't stand it." Gu Yan no longer had a cold face, and hugged Li Wanqing and said pitifully.
"Then take good care of yourself and live a long life. Don't give me the chance to find someone else." Li Wanqing's tone softened.
