Chapter 25



But she also knew that if she didn't think of a solution now, she would have to go and pick the pig grass at night even until midnight.

Ever since that bitch Jian Xiu killed the pig, this last remaining pig was directly regarded by Old Liu as her life.

The pig will not be short of food.

She never had to do these chores herself before, but now, as soon as the landlord left, all the chores of the chickens, ducks and pigs fell on her shoulders.

"Ouch, mother... mother, my waist was twisted this morning. I wanted to tell you about it, but I forgot. I was thinking of asking Zihua to go back to big brother to get some medicine for you, but who knew he was so busy that he only came back now."

While saying this, Chen Xi even supported his round waist in a serious manner.

After hearing this, Wang Xiuying finally pulled the corners of her lips and revealed a bitter smile.

"Old man, you don't have to cook for me anymore, go get some pig grass!"

Sure enough, before he finished the work in his hands, he heard Old Liu's loud voice from outside the door.

Mrs. Liu outside the door didn't even hear Wang Xiuying's voice, and she became impatient.

"What? I can't call you now, right?"

As she said this, Old Liu came over, stretched out her right hand and pinched Wang Xiuying's arm hard.

"Oh... Mom, go, go, go now!" Wang Xiuying said repeatedly.

"Hurry up, or else this pig will be starved to death. You will be the one to blame." Old Mrs. Liu said through gritted teeth.

Zhang Zifu had just entered the house, and before he understood what was going on, he saw his wife walking out with red eyes, carrying a backpack.

"Mom, what's going on? Didn't Xiuying just come back? Where is she going now?" Zhang Zifu couldn't help but ask.

Every day his wife worked in the fields like them and came back only after dark.

You never come back, and your mother kicks you out to work, right?

"What's wrong? Is it hurting? I just asked her to go out and collect grass for the pigs, so what? You can eat it, but the pigs don't need to be fed. If the pigs are starved and thin, no one will have a good life."

"But mother, you weren't..."

"That's enough. It's not just about collecting a basket of pig grass. This is what it means." Old Man Zhang interrupted Zhang Zifu and said.

If we continue to argue like this, we won't be able to resolve it until dawn.

Seeing his parents like this, Zhang Zifu, who loved his wife, hurriedly chased after them.

He wouldn't let his wife go to the foot of the mountain to collect pig grass alone at this late hour!

Sure enough, as soon as he went out, he saw his wife carrying a basket on her back and slowly walking towards the end of the village.

"Why did you go over there to collect grass for the pigs?" Zhang Zifu asked as he took the backpack from Wang Xiuying's hand.

"When Jian Xiu was picking grass for pigs before, she said that the grass at the end of the village is better, but few people in the village go there, so they haven't found it." Wang Xiuying said in a low voice.

On weekdays, Wang Xiuying is timid and non-competitive, which is most similar to Jian Xiu's personality.

Therefore, in the past, she and Jian Xiu got along best at home and talked the most.

"Xiuying, I'm sorry. I didn't know mother would be like this!" Zhang Zifu said softly to Wang Xiuying.

"You're not sorry. In fact, sometimes I envy my younger sister-in-law."

"What are you jealous of?"

"I envy her for being able to have a good family. No, I envy her for being able to break off relations with them." Wang Xiuying whispered.

This statement actually has a very obvious hint. As long as Zhang Zifu is not a fool, he should be able to hear it.

Zhang Zifu did understand, but thinking about how Jian Xiu looked when she returned home, he was really worried that he wouldn't even be able to feed his children after he returned home.

In the old house, at least there is a place to live.

Although I couldn't eat enough for the day, at least I had a meal.

This is going out, like a room, how long can it last?

Moreover, the fact that 눁房늁 went out was also due to Jian Xiu's strong skills.

Even if they really got out, with my brother's condition, how long could they last?

Thinking of this, he really didn't want to go home.

It's not that he was afraid of hardship or fatigue, but he was worried that his children would suffer and live a life of hunger like them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zifu whispered again: "Xiuying, I'm afraid Fang Ru's life will not be easy."

"I know. When we pass by there later, can't we go over and take a look?"

"Alright, let's check on my brother."

While saying this, Zhang Zifu was still touching his body carefully.

"I didn't know you were coming to the end of the village. If I had known, I would have brought some food with me."

"You forgot that Jian Xiu was carrying dozens of kilograms of rice and a pig weighing 20 kilograms. They shouldn't be starving during this period."

In fact, Wang Xiuying wanted to say that after seeing Jian Xiu's personality change drastically in the past few days, she felt that with Jian Xiu around, the days in this room might get better.

But after seeing Zhang Zifu's worried look, she swallowed her words.

She knew Zhang Zifu, and he wouldn't believe it until things got to that point.

"It seems to be there." Wang Xiuying said, pointing to the thatched house in front.

"Hey, it looks like the roof has been repaired."

"Well, it should be Zhang Zhiyong and Zhang Haifei who helped my sister-in-law fix it that day."

"They should be asleep, are we still going in?" Zhang Zifu asked hesitantly.

“Still not? Let’s finish collecting grass for the pigs and go back quickly. I think there won’t be any food left for you in the evening.” Wang Xiuying said aggrievedly.

Thinking of this, the idea that I had just dismissed came up again.

The Baifang family has nothing, but their Baofang is different, at least Zifu still works.

Moreover, according to the temperament of Old Liu and Old Zhang, she should also teach them a lesson.

Otherwise, they may always think that the people in their room are easy to bully.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiuying asked Zhang Zifu again: "You said, can we also mention your family?"

"Are you crazy? How dare you bring that up?" Zhang Zifu jumped up and said.

"Why don't you dare to ask? We have hands and feet, and our parents only gave us one or two acres of land. Are you afraid that we can't support our family? Besides, you can go to the county town to do some odd jobs. Isn't it much better than what we have now?"

"Besides, haven't you noticed? Ever since my younger brother and his wife were kicked out, the tasks that originally belonged to the younger room have basically fallen on the shoulders of our younger room. Originally, cutting pig grass was the job of the second room, but look who is doing it now?"

Although Wang Xiuying doesn't talk much on weekdays, she has always been a wise woman.
