In sharp contrast to the bustle outside is Wang Laowu's family.
Of course, they couldn't take the food out for others to eat, and they even moved all the food into the house for fear that it would be stolen.
They did not eat with the villagers, but started a fire in the house.
Daya and Erya were called away by Zhou Pingping to play, and now only the four of them were left.
Qin Wanru was naturally the one who cooked. She took great pains to light the fire, then went out to fetch water from the water tank and poured it into the pot.
Then he had to knead the dough, roll out the pancakes, and wrap the vegetables, and he was busy all the time.
Qin Wanru was so tired that she didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off her face. Even so, Wang Yongchang still scolded her for being clumsy.
She wanted to cry but had no tears, regretting that she was too impatient and drove Xiaolan away too early.
No matter whether it is a big business or a small one, at least she doesn't have to do any work when Xiaolan is around.
Now, Xiaolan ran away to enjoy the free time, but she is the one working like a slave here, and has to take care of two children for her. There is really no way to complain.
inside the house
Wang Laowu has been wearing a gloomy face since he came back. After all, he is a well-known figure in the village. He is upset after being bullied by the villagers today.
In addition, they were unwilling to abandon their luggage, but looking at the villagers' expressions, they didn't even give him face and were determined to climb the mountain.
All these things added up, and Wang Laowu's face became more and more ugly.
Wang Yongchang, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "Dad, please tell me something. Do we have to abandon our luggage too?"
"Absolutely not!"
Wang Laowu is extremely determined about this.
Not to mention food, there were also a lot of valuables in his luggage.
Once it is abandoned, all his first few decades of work will be in vain.
Moreover, without these things, if they settled down in the south, they would just be like those poor farmers. Not to mention becoming rich, it would be difficult for them to even make a living.
Seeing that Wang Laowu refused to give in, Aunt Wang Wu couldn't help but say, "But given the current situation, if we don't climb the mountain, we'll have to walk on our own. What if we run into bandits? Wouldn't that be terrible?"
"Yes, Dad. If our cart gets stuck somewhere again, there won't be anyone to help us."
Aunt Wang Wu suggested, "Boss, why don't you go talk to the village chief again? If that doesn't work, give him some benefits and ask him to take everyone out to take a detour."
"Okay."
Wang Laowu waved his hand, interrupting the mother and daughter who were making random suggestions, and frowned, "I know the village chief's character better than you all. He's a man who insists on doing the same thing and won't budge at all. It's better for us to beg him than to beg him."
"How can I ask for help myself? The ox cart is heavy and it will take at least a month to go this roundabout way."
Wang Laowu took a puff of his pipe and glanced at Aunt Wang Wu. "Who told you I was going to travel by ox cart?"
Wang Yongchang was puzzled, "Why not take the ox cart?"
Aunt Wang Wu suddenly understood something. She leaned forward and whispered, "Master, are you interested in the Zhou family's horses?"
Wang Laowu puffed on his pipe and said, "If we have horses, we can go at least twice as fast. It won't be a problem for us to take a detour."
"Dad is right!"
Wang Yongchang was happy, "Father still has a way. I will go to both of them to buy horses now."
"return!"
Wang Laowu frowned, "Who told you to buy a horse?"
"Ah? Didn't you say you wanted to ride away on horseback, Dad?"
"I said I wanted to ride away, I didn't say I wanted to buy it."
Wang Laowu had an unfathomable look on his face. "They don't want it anyway, so it's fine for us to borrow it for a while."
Aunt Wang Wu clapped her hands happily, "Right, right, right, they don't want it anyway, why bother spending money to buy it."
"but..."
Wang Laowu took two more puffs of his cigarette and said, "We have to carry luggage and have passengers. We can't have too many people."
Yes.
In order to hurry and avoid attracting attention, it is best not to pull a cart and put the luggage directly on the horse.
But in this way, a horse can only seat two people at most.
For a moment, everyone in the room was in trouble.
Needless to say, Wang Laowu and his wife and Wang Yongchang will definitely go on the road together, which takes up three spots, so we can only bring one more person.
Who should I bring?
Aunt Wang Wu was a little hesitant. "Da Ya and Er Ya are our Wang family's offspring after all. Why don't we take Daya with us?"
“…”
Outside the door, Qin Wanru overheard this and could no longer sit still.
If they were soft-hearted and took those two girls with them, she would be left to die.
She was so anxious that she wanted to lie on the door.
Fortunately, Wang Yongchang still couldn't bear to part with Qin Wanru. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Wanru is my new wife. I don't want to abandon her."
"If you want to take a daughter-in-law, it's better to take Xiaolan. At least Xiaolan is good at cooking, washing clothes and doing housework. Look at Qin Wanru, she dresses up every day and complains endlessly after cooking."
"Xiao Lan? Come on."
Wang Yongchang resented Xiaolan for humiliating him in front of so many people and he absolutely disagreed.
"Anyone can do the work. She gave birth to two girls in a row. There has been no movement in her belly in the past two years. I don't know if she can give birth again. If she brings Wanru with her, maybe she can give birth to a son for me."
When it comes to holding grandchildren, Wang Laowu also stands on Wang Yongchang's side.
"Continuing the family line is the most important thing, so take Qin Wanru with you."
Aunt Wang Wu saw that they had made up their minds and knew that it was useless for her to say anything more. She sighed and said, "It's just a pity for Daya and Erya."
"That's enough. These two girls will eventually belong to someone else. It's pointless to keep them. Besides, they can go hiking with the villagers without us. They won't necessarily die."
