Chapter 93 The Sudden Blizzard
Wang Dani shook her head with a wronged expression: "It wasn't Dad, it was Mom who hit me. She beat me to death! She even took away all the things I bought. Big brother, do you think this is my fault? It was Wu Xincao who wanted to sell willow leaves, what does it have to do with me? Am I wronged?"
"Waaaaah, waaaaah, my floral fabric, my snacks, my candy!" Wang Dani cried, feeling wronged.
Wang Tieniu shook his head speechlessly. His sister said, "Alright, alright, stop crying. The matter is resolved. Lao Ba received 15 taels of silver and won't bother you two anymore. But I'm warning you, you're not allowed to harm Liu Ye next door again. If Wu Xincao tries to harm her, you have to tell me immediately, or I won't let you off the hook. Do you hear me?"
Wang Dani sensed something was off about her brother's words. "Big brother, you don't actually have a crush on Liu Ye, do you? Otherwise, why are you protecting her so much?"
Wang Tieniu, realizing his thoughts had been guessed, looked away and said, "Don't talk nonsense... Liu Ye and Bai Liehu are engaged and live together. Why would I be interested in them...?"
"Alright, you stay here, I'm leaving." Wang Tieniu turned to leave, but Wang Dani grabbed his arm and pleaded pitifully, "Big brother, can you go ask Mom to get my things back? Mom took several pieces of fabric and lots of good food from me. I want to make clothes, big brother, please go and get them back for me. Mom listens to you the most!"
Wang Tieniu shoved Wang Dani's hand away and said irritably, "Go ask for it yourself. I don't care about your business. I worked my butt off in the south for half a year and only earned six taels of silver. You spent seven and a half taels in one go. All my hard work for the past six months has been for nothing. You spendthrift girl, I think your mother didn't beat you enough. She should have broken your legs. Let's see if you'll still follow people around like a pawn in the future!"
After Wang Tieniu finished speaking, he turned and left, which made Wang Dani stomp her feet in anger: "Hmph! You've all suffered and worked hard, so you can enjoy yourselves now!"
Nobody's on her side, and that damned Willow Leaf too. Just because so many men like her, doesn't mean she's any less attractive. All she does is wear tattered clothes. No way, she has to steal some cloth from her mother's room and make herself some pretty clothes. Once she's wearing her new clothes and walks around the village, she'll be the prettiest girl there.
Liu Ye worked all morning and finally finished making the quilt for the kang (heated brick bed). She also laid out a new kang sheet. Now she wouldn't have to sleep on the hard kang anymore. Yesterday she bought 20 jin (10 kg) of cotton. She used 10 jin (5 catties) to make the quilt, and had 10 jin (5 catties) left. She would save it to make one for Bai Zilin's room.
She went to the door and looked towards Wang Dani's house. While she was making a quilt inside the house earlier that day, she had faintly heard Wang Dani crying and Aunt Wang cursing. She guessed that Wang Dani had been beaten. Last night, someone from Wang Dani's house came and knocked on the door loudly. She heard that too. She was sure that the truth had come out. "Hmph, serves her right. That bitch deserves a beating!"
As luck would have it, Wang Tieniu came out of his house and turned around to see Liu Ye standing at the door. His eyes lit up instantly. It was her. She was even more beautiful than yesterday. What reason could he find to talk to her?
Before Wang Tieniu could find a reason to talk to Liu Ye, she had already closed the door and gone back to her yard. Wang Tieniu regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself. Damn it! What reason did he need to find? Neighbors talk to each other, there's no need to find a reason. Next time, he would just go up and talk to her directly.
Liu Ye closed the front door and went to the kitchen. Yesterday, Wang Dani called him "Big Brother," so it seemed he was Wang Dani's biological brother. There were no good people in Wang Dani's family. From a distance, she could see that the way he looked at her was strange, his eyes were staring straight ahead with a gleam in them.
However, he was quite strong, even stronger than Brother Bai, and looked like a martial arts expert. Yesterday, he was carrying a knife. It seems she still needs to buy a house in town, just in case. Wang Dani's brother wants to help her take revenge on her and Brother Bai, so they won't be living in Erdaogou Village anymore.
As the old saying goes, a tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives. With money in your pocket, you can live anywhere. There's no need to stay in Erdaogou Village. Suddenly, she realized that she and Brother Bai were attracting bad luck. No matter where they went, they would encounter scoundrels with extremely bad character!
Forget it, there's always a way out. She took out a set of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, waved her hand at the stove, and took out a bowl of rice and a large bowl of braised beef from her spatial storage, still steaming hot. After eating, Liu Ye returned to the house and flashed into her spatial storage, where she roasted the cow's head and hooves over a fire, and also roasted the wild boar's head.
After thinking it over, she decided to clean out all the wild boars she had brought in a couple of days ago, as well as the domestic pig she had bought from Old Liu's family. Otherwise, the smell would be too strong, with a strong odor of pig manure. It would be more convenient to clean them out and leave them there when she wanted to eat them.
In this way, Liu Ye spent two days finally cleaning up all the wild boars and domestic pigs in the space. She roasted the pig's trotters and heads. Since the pot in the space was too small to cook the pig's heads, she took three pig heads and one cow's head out of the space and put them in the kitchen outside to cook. The aroma of meat wafted throughout the village again.
One cow's head alone made a huge pot of meat, and three wild boar heads also made a huge pot. Cow hooves and pig hooves also made a pot. Once they were cooked, Liu Ye kept one pig hoove and put them all into her space while they were still hot. One pig hoove was enough for her. She had also eaten quite a bit of pig head meat earlier, so she was already full.
Wang Tieniu stood in his yard, sniffing the aroma of meat in the air, and looked at his father in confusion, asking, "Is that meat smell coming from Liu Ye's house next door?"
Old Wang snorted and said, "If it's not her family, then whose family is it? Hunter Bai goes up the mountain to hunt every day, how could he not have meat to eat? I heard that Hunter Bai went out to work, and I haven't seen him these days. Tie Niu, your mother also wants to eat meat. Why don't you go up the mountain to hunt tomorrow? Last night, your mother was nibbling on my toes and she actually woke me up. If I don't give her meat, I'm afraid she'll eat me up."
Wang Tieniu nodded, suppressing a laugh, "Okay, I'll go hunting in the mountains tomorrow." At this moment, Aunt Wang came out of the house, "What are you two chatting about? Nothing's wrong, go up the mountain to gather firewood, there's not much firewood left in the backyard."
Wang Tieniu rubbed his nose, noticing that his mother's voice did indeed smell like shoe insoles: "Oh."
Before she knew it, it was night. Liu Ye got up to pee in the middle of the night and found it unusually bright outside. Could it be snowing? She peered out the window and saw a thick layer of white snow on the ground and heavy snow falling from the sky. It really was snowing.
Suddenly, she felt a little worried about Bai Zilin. But after counting on her fingers, she immediately stopped worrying. Brother Bai had been gone for more than ten days and should have reached the south by now. The heavy snow wouldn't affect him; it would just make the return journey a bit difficult.
Sigh, time for bed. Liu Ye slept soundly until dawn. In the morning, she gently pushed the door open, but it wouldn't budge. She had to use all her strength to finally open it. It turned out that the door was blocked by snow, and the yard was also covered with a thick layer of snow. Meanwhile, heavy snow was still falling from the sky.
Oh no, is there going to be a snow disaster? She quickly grabbed a shovel and cleared a path through the snow, making a trail leading to the gate, the toilet, and the cowshed in the backyard. She didn't clear the rest of the path; she just wanted to make sure people could walk through the yard.
After clearing the snow in the yard, she went to clear the snow in front of the door. The villagers were also clearing the snow in front of their doors. They had already cleared the snow from their yards.
