Chapter 40: Splitting the Door



"Sister, it's delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious!" In the past, he could only watch Rongzi eat meat while he ate rice bran porridge. Now he can finally eat meat!

Zhang Xingrong looked at him with concern: "Eat slowly, there will be more for today and tomorrow!"

She only cooked less than a quarter of the chicken, and it would be enough to keep it in the space and eat it until the day after tomorrow!

"Um!"

After the brother and sister had a hearty meal of pheasant, they began to make room for bed. The kitchen was small, but there was a patch of floor in the middle, so they simply swept it clean and covered it with a layer of hay and cloth, which was enough.

Zhang Xingrong woke up in the middle of the night. She took a knife and prepared to chop the door open: "Shitou, cover your ears."

But Shitou was not afraid at all: "Sister, I'm not afraid. I'll help you!"

Zhang Xingrong thought for a moment and decided to let Shitou sit aside. She began to hack at the door. She tried to keep her voice down, but the noise was still there. After a moment, Zhang Xinglian came running out!

"I knew you were going to break the door down!" Zhang Xinglian hadn't planned on going to sleep. She hadn't slept well before Zhang Xingrong was married off. She'd been keeping an eye on the situation, worried that Zhang Xingrong would break the door down! She had a knife in her hand! Sure enough, there was a noise in the middle of the night.

Zhang Xingrong didn't expect that Lian Ya was not sleeping to watch over her, but she didn't care and just kept on knocking down her own door.

"Grandpa and grandma, my fifth sister is here to knock on the door..." Lian Ya immediately stood up and went to call for help.

Soon everyone arrived. It was pitch black, but the sound of the door being broken open was clear. The old lady cursed in pain when she thought about her good door being broken open.

Chen Xuezhi was very worried: "What should we do now? She has a knife in her hand. We can't control her anymore."

"Who said we can't control it? Go, mix the mud and build the door tonight! You go to the back of the house to get some loess, I'll guard it!" Zhang Haisan knew how to build a mud wall, and it was only the size of a door, so it was too simple.

This time, Zhang Haisan was even more determined to sell Zhang Xingrong. If he didn't sell her, who knows how bad this family would be!

Without a word, the others hurried to dig the yellow mud. The old lady was so angry that she cursed and swore that she couldn't sleep at night and had to mix the mud.

Zhang Xingrong had wanted to chop down the door while they weren't paying attention, but a kitchen knife was difficult to use. If it were an axe, it would have been much faster to chop down the door.

Before she could even split the door open, four or five people outside had already started working on the mud wall. With so many people and quick hands, they had already blocked the door firmly.

Zhang Haisan also used several thick wooden planks to strengthen the wall.

He warned Zhang Xingrong from outside: "I've already put the walls together and tied the wood to the beams. If you dare to push, the house will collapse and crush you to death!"

This time, Zhang Xingrong really didn't dare to do anything. She knew that Zhang Haisan and the others were capable of such a thing!

The newly built mud wall is not a big deal, but the collapsed beams are very dangerous! If the house collapses and hits them, it will be a big loss.

Zhang Haisan and the others felt much more relieved when they saw that it was finally quiet inside.

After a night of hard work, it was already dawn, and Zhang Haisan was so tired that he hurried back to rest. Chen Xuezhi and Li Chunhua didn't dare to delay and went to find a matchmaker.

Zhang Xinglian was worried, so she went along too.

She wants to find someone who lives in the mountains, and he must be strong and capable of controlling Zhang Xingrong. It's useless to find an ordinary man!

Zhang Xingrong was also tired and started to prepare breakfast. Shitou was very sensible and started to help.
