Compared with Zhang Zifu, Wang Xiuying is more opinionated about many things.
Although she was cheerful, she could see things more clearly than anyone else.
Originally, she hadn't thought about splitting up the family, but she knew why, at this moment, she wanted to split up very much.
Especially when she saw the location at the end of the village, Wang Xiuying thought about it even more.
She could even imagine how cozy it would be inside.
Zhang Zifu, who was following Wang Xiuying, fell into deep thought when he heard her words.
"Even Room Four dares to separate and live alone like this, everyone in Room Three of us is intact, can we still survive?" Wang Xiuying spoke again.
"But in this situation, my parents may not agree with us separating."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Wang Xiuying also fell into deep thought.
After saying that, Wang Xiuying started again: "No matter what, we have to give it a try. Otherwise, our third room will have no place to stand in that family. Look at what kind of life we are living now? Who is being driven out to pick pig grass in the middle of the night?"
"I know. Let me think of a way!" Zhang Zifu said truthfully.
He hadn't really thought about this before, but after hearing his wife complain tonight, this idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Alright, alright, don't think about it now, hurry up and finish cutting grass for the pigs and go back! Otherwise, we won't need to sleep tonight, and we'll have to get up and work in the fields early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Now that they have a pig, it is much faster for the couple to collect grass for the pig together.
After a while, a full basket of pig grass was ready.
When passing by the thatched hut again, Zhang Zifu stopped.
"Xiuying, did you hear any noise inside?"
"It seems so. Could it be that Fourth Sister-in-law hasn't slept yet?"
"Do you want us to go in and take a look?" Zhang Zifu asked again.
In the past, in the old house, only he and Zhang Zixuan had a better relationship.
When Zhang Zixuan was paralyzed at the beginning, Jian Xiu carried him, and he helped carry him most of the time.
But later on, he became thinner and thinner, until he had almost no flesh left on his body, and only then could Jian Xiu carry him.
"Is it a bit late now?" Wang Xiuying hesitated.
"I'm worried that they need our help. You know, Fourth Brother is like this..."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
In the courtyard of the thatched house.
After making sure that their mother and daughter were asleep, Zhang Zixuan got on the wheelchair and slid out gently.
Maybe he had eaten well these days and had more strength in his arms and body, or maybe his mood gradually became brighter.
This time he didn't rely on anyone and got into the wheelchair all by himself.
There were still a lot of bamboo shoots that hadn't been peeled, and some plantains that hadn't been cleaned.
He was just like Jian Xiu. Jian Xiu was walking around carrying things today, which was very tiring.
But he was not very active. He basically sat down and did some footwork.
However, before he could start peeling a few bamboo shoots, he heard a knock on the door.
"Jian Xiu, are you guys asleep?" Wang Xiuying called out from outside the door.
After hearing Wang Xiuying's voice and Zhang Zifu's voice, Zhang Zixuan slid his wheelchair towards the door.
After walking a few steps away, Zhang Zixuan turned back and took a deep look at the bamboo shoots and plantain.
It was not that he trusted the third family, but he knew that these things were the only things that supported their family's survival.
There can't be any mistakes.
After opening the door, the couple stood at the door with baskets on their backs.
Looking at the backpacks on their backs, Zhang Zixuan could probably guess that the two were driven out to collect grass for pigs.
With so many people in the old house, can he still understand the temperament of those people in the old house?
It can be said that after the four families were separated, the people from the third family were the ones who suffered the most.
"It's so late, are you going to collect grass for pigs?" Zhang Zixuan asked in a low voice.
He just stood at the door, obviously ready to invite the two of them into the house.
The two had not originally planned to go in, and they naturally knew that the children were asleep.
However, at this time, the two of them were not thinking about the issue of entering or leaving, but about Zhang Zixuan.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing..." Zhang Zifu asked with wide eyes, pointing at Zhang Zixuan's wheelchair.
"This is a wheelchair, your sister-in-law will be in charge." Zhang Zixuan said softly.
"So, fourth brother, you can move around in this wheelchair now, right?"
"Well, that's enough. We can also weave some backpacks and let Jian Xiu take them to the market to sell them."
Seeing the two of them looking into the house, Zhang Zixuan quickly slid his wheelchair out and said:
"Jian Xiu, the children are all asleep. I just thought that there are still some things that I haven't packed up, so I came out to pack them up. I should go to bed soon."
"Well, fourth brother, then you go to sleep. We just passed by here and heard some noise in your yard, so we thought of coming to check it out. There's nothing much to say. You should go to bed early. We should go back too."
"Okay, you guys go back too!" Zhang Zixuan said softly.
Fortunately, it was this third brother. If it was Zhang Zirong and Zhang Zihua talking, he would not even want to talk to them.
It was when he saw the couple walking back that Zhang Zixuan finally couldn't bear it.
Then he shouted at the two of them: "Wait a minute!"
"Fourth brother, what's the matter? Is there anything you can help me with?" Zhang Zifu said quickly.
"Wait a moment!" Zhang Zixuan asked in reply.
Then he walked inside again, and after a while, two handfuls of rice came out from inside.
"This is what we left over from dinner. Take it and eat it on the way!"
"That's fine, that's fine. You don't have much to eat anyway, and this is enough to feed your whole family for a day."
Zhang Zifu said he was not willing to accept it no matter what.
"Take it. I still have some. Besides, you and I both know who those people are in the old house. How can you two go back to eat at this time? Not only you, but the five big yaks should also be gone."
Both parents are at home, no one cares about them, and the children have nothing to eat.
