When Su Changjiang saw the size of the chestnuts, he was obviously stunned.
"Where do chestnuts come from that are so big?"
"You two went to the back mountain to get them, kid." Zhang Fengxia used a machete to chop the thorny shell on the outside of the chestnut, and after cutting a slit, she used a pair of broken scissors to pry it open.
Zhou Xiuqiao used a sickle to chop the shell, and after making a crack, she pushed the shell open with the back of the sickle.
Shen Zhihuan held the stick in one hand to steady himself, and chopped with a broken kitchen knife in the other. Not sure if it was because his tool was not good enough, but he only managed to peel a few shells after half a day.
Su Ziyu's method was the simplest and roughest. He wrapped the thorny shell with an old piece of discarded clothing and broke it apart with his hands.
Because it is simple and crude, it is also the most efficient.
Little Qiping was carrying a small basket and moving among the people, picking out the peeled chestnuts.
"You should go to the back mountain less often in the future." Su Changjiang frowned slightly.
The mountain behind Panshi Village is the base of wild wolves and wild boars in the surrounding area.
There are groups of wild wolves and wild boars there.
Although my son knows a little bit of fighting and kicking, it is the masters who can be killed by random punches.
"Got it." Su Ziyu agreed readily.
When Su Changjiang heard his insincere answer, he became furious.
"You know what I said?"
This brat never made his father feel relieved for a single day.
If you tell him to go east, he will go west. If you tell him to chase a dog, he will scold a chicken.
Tell him not to do something, but he will go against you.
Otherwise he would feel unhappy.
"Su Ziyu, you have a family to support now. You don't think about us two old people, and you don't think about Zhihuan. What will happen to her if you get hurt or disabled?" Su Changjiang frowned.
Su Changjiang was horrified when he thought of the bloody appearance of the second boy of the Xu family.
Although the second boy from the Xu family doesn't know how to fight or kick, he is tall and strong.
He carries a sandbag weighing over 100 pounds as if it were a game.
Who would have thought that he would be...
Xu Youcai is nearly fifty years old. It is still unclear whether he can get out alive after fifteen years.
The second son of the Xu family is now...
It is said that a hemp rope will break at the thinnest part, and bad luck only strikes the unfortunate.
Su Changjiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Shen Zhihuan raised his eyes and glanced at Su Changjiang.
She always felt that there was something wrong with her father-in-law.
When I came back in the morning, everything was fine...
Zhou Xiuqiao also felt something was wrong.
In the past, my mother-in-law asked my father-in-law to take care of my younger brother-in-law and told him not to run to the mountains all day, but my father-in-law looked indifferent.
Today I even dragged my brother and sister-in-law out.
This is obviously somewhat unreasonable.
"Dad, did something happen to you?" Su Ziyu stopped what he was doing.
Zhang Fengxia also put down the things in her hands and looked at Su Changjiang nervously, "Dad, if there is any problem, let's find a solution together. Don't hide it from me."
Having been married for more than 20 years, she knew what kind of person Su Changjiang was.
Normally, he would ignore the request to take care of the second kid, but now he took the initiative to mention it...
"You're okay, why are you acting so weird?" Zhang Fengxia was very angry.
If her son, daughter-in-law and grandson weren't here, she really wanted to punch him twice.
At that moment, she even thought...
Did he get caught in the act of adultery? "Why am I so weird? I told your son-in-law to stay out of the mountain, and now I'm weird? Zhang Fengxia, go to Xu's house and see that son-in-law, and then come back and complain to me." Su Changjiang said angrily.
"What happened to the second kid from the Xu family?" Zhang Fengxia's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with some guilt.
Although Zhang Fengxia is always noisy, when something happens, Su Changjiang will still be the one who makes the final decision.
"I heard that Xu Jiaojiao wanted to eat wax gourd, so the second kid from the Xu family went up the mountain to look for it. On the way back, he ran into a few wolf cubs. When the villagers carried him back, there wasn't even a piece of good meat left on his body. I heard from Doctor Hua..."
Su Changjiang glanced at Zhou Xiuqiao and Shen Zhihuan, coughed lightly with some discomfort, and did not continue speaking.
"Is he okay?" Zhang Fengxia frowned, looking a little unhappy.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The second boy of the Xu family also grew up under her care.
The little kids, who were as tall as lettuces, would call her "Aunt Fengxia" and "Aunt Fengxia" in their baby voice, which was very endearing.
In a blink of an eye, he has grown into a big boy.
A good child, but he has such a bad father.
What a pity! "I'm lucky to have saved my life, but..."
Su Changjiang sighed, and then continued: "Fortunately, his life was saved."
Apart from life and death, nothing else matters.
"Su Ziyu, you are not allowed to run to the back mountain again." Su Changjiang shifted his gaze to Su Ziyu again.
The second boy from the Xu family only went to the big mountain near the back mountain, and he ran into the wolf cub before he even entered the territory of the back mountain.
If the wolf encountered was not a wolf cub but an adult wolf, it would be eaten till not even a bone would be left.
Su Changjiang felt terrified just thinking about it.
"Zi Yu, your father is right. You are not allowed to go to the back mountain in the future. Do you hear me?" Zhang Fengxia agreed nervously.
"I understand." Seeing his parents looking anxious, Su Ziyu readily agreed. As the mainstay of gossip in Panshi Village, the Xu family had a lot of people gathered at the gate.
In the room to the right of the main hall, Cao Erxiang was crying until she was hoarse.
Compared to her eldest son who has a dull temperament, Cao Erxiang obviously loves her second son Xu Laifu more.
Seeing her second son, who had been spoiled by her, lying on the bed with a pale face and dying, Cao Erxiang felt heartbroken as if it was being cut by a knife.
Especially when I think of what Dr. Hua said...
Cao Erxiang even wanted to die.
The second son is still so young and hasn’t even married yet…
How could God be so cruel to him?
Cao Erxiang looked at her second son lying unconscious on the bed and broke down crying.
The villagers who were watching the excitement at the gate of the courtyard seemed to be infected by the sad atmosphere. They did not gloat over the misfortune as they did in the past. Instead, there were only dull breathing sounds and low whispers.
"The second young man of the Xu family is also pitiful. He has such a beastly father. He lost his job and wife, and now..." The man who spoke shook his head and sighed.
"I say, if you want to blame someone, you should blame that bitch. If she hadn't clamored for eating wax gourd, would the second kid from the Xu family have been able to go up the mountain? Would he have run into a wolf cub?" A middle-aged woman snorted coldly.
"Poor thing! He hasn't even found a wife yet..."
"It's fine if he doesn't have a wife. If he does, then his wife will have to be a widow for the rest of her life."
"It's really pitiful. When I die, there won't even be anyone to smash the pot with."
