Chapter 42: Fighting Like Black-Eyed Chickens (1/2)



After saying that, I don’t know what wonderful thing he thought of, he just sat there stupidly and laughed happily.

Zhao Xiaoyu's forehead was full of black lines. This cheap father would always give him a hard time.

"What if, I mean what if, you still don't have a son? Do you want to find a little girl?"

"I am sick. If I dare to look for her, your mother will definitely cry to me every day. Am I crazy? I see her getting angry at me every day. Who should I pull when two women quarrel? If there is no one, then there is no one."

Zhao Dashu stared at Zhao Xiaoyu for a while, then moved closer to her and whispered slyly, "Girl, I really don't have a son. How about you find a live-in son-in-law?"

"Ah."

"Really?"

"Really? As long as they are willing and I like them, why not?"

Zhao Dashu was so moved that his daughter was heartbroken for this family.

In the end, it was Zhao Xiaoyu who made the chicken soup, because her mother had seen this mushroom but had never eaten it before.

Song said with emotion, "I never thought it wasn't a poisonous mushroom. I remember when I was a child, there was a famine and all the grass was eaten up, so no one dared to eat mushrooms. My mother remembered it very clearly. Even so, there were so many of them."

If everyone knew they could eat it, perhaps fewer people would die.

Alas, it’s too late to say anything now, but these mushrooms are edible. Next time I see her, I can pick them, dry them, and keep them for later consumption.

"Mom, this is good stuff, very nutritious, you should eat more."

"You and Lihua can eat whatever I want."

Zhao Xiaoyu stopped talking.

"Xiao Yu, your uncle Liu said that if our family wants to build a house now, he should take care of the bamboo shoots first. It's the last few days anyway, so he can go and deliver the goods. Anyway, he will settle the bill with us. I will settle the bill when I go to the county town in a few days. What do you think?"

"That's fine. The sooner we build it, the sooner we can move in. Dad, go find the head of the village tomorrow and ask him to make the arrangements. Ask him how many servants we need. Please ask the village chief to find the servants."

"Okay, I understand." Originally, Zhao Dashu wanted to call him brother, but then he thought better of it. They were good friends, so he could just talk to the village chief about it when the time comes.

"We don't include meals, so twenty-two cents a day is okay, right?"

"Sure, Dad, I'll leave the house building to you. Mom is taking Lihua with her, and I'll go running around in the mountains when I have nothing to do recently to see if I can find something valuable. After we build the house, we'll also have to buy furniture, right?"

"Hey, go and do your thing. Remember, don't go to the mountains to find shelter. If you don't have furniture, then you don't have furniture. Safety is the most important thing."

"Um."

She didn't plan to go to the mountain today. She wanted to go to the mountain by herself to buy some supplies and medicine, and preferably some self-defense weapons to take with her, so that she would feel a little safer in the mountains for the next few days.

"Xiaoyu, why don't you take Lihua to your Aunt Liu's house, and I'll go up the mountain with you."

How can this be possible?

"Mom, no, Aunt Liu has to deal with the bamboo shoots and help us take care of the children. Do you want to tire her out? Besides, she has three children of her own at home! If you don't, I will look for herbs around the mountain and will never go deep into the mountains, okay?"

Song Shizhen was in a dilemma. She had flesh on her hands and taking Lihua with her would be a burden. "Come on, mother and Lihua's family will make you some clothes. They haven't even made them when we got the cloth last time."

"And shoes, mom. My shoes will wear out when I go up the mountain, so make the soles thicker."

Song nodded, "I'll make the soles thicker."
