Chapter 13 Urgent Needs
It is considered one of the larger families in the village.
At this time, Mrs. Wang Liu and Old Man Wang rested in the main house. Mrs. Wang Liu was over fifty years old, with gray hair combed neatly with hair oil. She was sewing shoe soles stitch by stitch under the oil lamp.
Mrs. Wang Liu said, "Old man, I heard that that unlucky ghost and Dabao went to the mountains and killed a wolf. Can that woman kill a wolf? I think she's been having an affair with some wild man, and he must have helped her kill it! People say she eloped with a scoundrel, and I think so too. She's really shameless. If they hadn't been separated, I, an old woman, would really like to go over to her house and slap her in the face. She's shameless and promiscuous."
Old Man Wang was smoking a big earthen pipe under the lamp. "Don't listen to what they say. It's not like he ran away, is it?"
Mrs. Wang Liu said sourly, "It's a pity that our old fifth son is now unknown whether he is alive or dead. But this Jiang has hooked up with so many wild men that our old fifth son is so green. And the most outrageous thing is that they locked up the wolf and ate it, and gave two pounds of meat to Aunt Lu and the others, but didn't send any to us old couple to show filial piety. Even if the old fifth son is dead, she still has to show filial piety to him, right? We are not even as good as outsiders. Do outsiders know to send two pounds of meat?"
Old man Wang stopped talking and Bata smoked.
"And the old man, the head of the village, actually assigned them the mud house that once belonged to a scholar. Old man, you don't know that many people are jealous of that house. Although it's a bit old, who wouldn't want to live in the mud house of a scholar who once had a scholar?
"What's the use of Dabao, Erbao, and the little mute living there? If our Erlang, Sanlang, Silang, and Wulang could live there, maybe they could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar for our family. This Jiang family is so tactless! She doesn't even know how to let our Erlang and his family live there. If Dabao and his three bastards live there, they will still be cheap bastards. How can they pass the imperial examination and become scholars? What a waste of a good house."
This struck Old Man Wang in the heart. "Maybe we can discuss it with her... Many people went to the village head today to discuss the house issue."
He still desperately hopes that one of his grandsons can pass the imperial examination.
Mrs. Wang Liu continued, "Okay, I'll go talk to her tomorrow. I hope she won't be ungrateful. The thatched hut we gave them is still habitable and hasn't collapsed yet. How can such cheap creatures like them deserve to live in a nice house? Besides, they went to the market today to sell wolf skins and wolf meat. Wolf skins are worth a lot of money, so they must be able to fetch several taels of silver! Our fourth and fifth sons are old enough to go to school and are worried about their tuition. We can ask her to come over with them..."
Old Man Wang stopped smoking and asked, "Will she give it to me?"
"Why won't she give it to her? If she doesn't, we can reason with her. Why do they need the money? A bitch is still a bitch even if she has the money. Why leave the money for her? Is it to make it easier for her to elope with a wild man?" Wang Liupo said righteously.
"But, haven't we separated?" Old Man Wang hesitated.
Mrs. Wang Liu said, "The family is divided, but even if it is divided, she is not the widow of our fifth son. As long as she does not remarry, she will still be the daughter-in-law of our old Wang family. She has money in her hands, is filial to her parents, and helps them share their worries. What's wrong with that?"
Old man Wang stopped talking again.
***
Jiang Lianzhu had a sweet sleep.
Her biological clock made her get up early in the morning and exercise in the yard for half an hour. She wanted to strengthen her physical fitness, muscle training, body reaction, etc.
Then, I cooked corn and vegetable porridge for the children.
I stewed a pork bone and winter melon soup.
Steamed buns made of white flour are a relatively rich and nutritious breakfast.
The three cubs enjoyed an unprecedented happiness of having a delicious breakfast as soon as they opened their eyes.
After dinner, Jiang Lianzhu planned to go into the mountains again to try her luck. She had food in the short term, but she still had to think about how to make a living in the future. She had spent all the money, and there were still many things she had not bought. She could not do without money.
At present, she couldn't find anything suitable for her to do, and it seemed that hunting was the only thing that suited her best.
This time, Jiang Lianzhu told Dabao that he didn't need to follow her anymore and asked him to stay at home to protect his younger siblings.
Dabao nodded cautiously.
Now the house is no longer as poor as before, where even mice are unwilling to come in. In their eyes, it is now a wealthy family with some assets.
They were afraid that someone would come and steal the food, oil, salt, etc. at home.
After all, it’s not like someone has robbed them of their things before.
Jiang Lianzhu went into the mountains alone.
The second time she went into the mountains, she became familiar with the route.
She went straight into the mountains and passed the place where she encountered wolves the day before. She stopped and observed the environment carefully. It seemed that no one had been there before.
The mountain was too vast, and she had entered a deep forest. Most hunters did not dare to go so deep.
There are some wild medicinal herbs around here. She picked them last time and gave them to her little girl. There are not many left.
She picked them all and put them in a big basket.
This mountain is too deep and there is no road. It is very tiring to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Jiang Lianzhu was tired, so she sat down to rest by the tree, thinking to herself, it would be great if she had a drone. She could let the drone go to the mountains to find supplies, so she wouldn't have to run around like a headless fly, which would greatly save her time and energy.
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound.
A black drone appeared overhead and hovered in the air.
Looking down again, she was holding the drone remote control in her hand! It was still flashing, indicating that it was working.
Jiang Lianzhu became excited.
Her arsenal of weapons appears again!
This is a drone in the weapons depot, and it is engraved with the logo of their organization, a dove of peace.
It really solved her urgent problem.
This shows that her arsenal can still be used at critical moments!
Jiang Lianzhu controlled the drone to take off and fly towards deeper depths.
This is the most advanced intelligent drone in the organization. It can holographically see the images inside the drone. The pixels are ultra-clear and it can shoot places hundreds of meters away. It can see objects clearly. It also has infrared detection, so it can see the whole picture clearly even in places with poor light. It also has thermal sensing function and is particularly sensitive to moving objects. No matter what kind of living thing it is, as long as it has a breath of life, it can sense and lock it.
Sure enough, the supplies in the deep mountains were more abundant. Jiang Lianzhu controlled the time it took to stick an incense stick and found several places with herbs, as well as rabbit nests, bird nests, pheasant nests and so on.
She circled them all on the map.
