The second son's wife saw that he was being so unreasonable and didn't say anything nice to him. He didn't act like a father at all. The child was missing and he was sleeping like a dead pig.

If it were someone else's family, they would have gotten up long ago to look for their children, but he only cared about his own little piece of land and couldn't stand being cold at all.

"Why are you making so much noise? Don't wake up the others. I've tucked it in for you."

The second son was unhappy. He was caught in the cold while sleeping and was scolded. He lost all desire to sleep and became furious.

"You are freezing me out just for these two little girls. What do you think of that?"

The second son's wife was stunned by what she said. She just lifted the quilt and a little cool wind blew in. It was amazing that a grown man was so pretentious.

"Humph, you don't need to know what I'm thinking. You're a heartless person. I don't want to argue with you."

The second son's wife would not give in to him. He had to win the argument, otherwise he would feel more and more aggrieved afterwards. Why didn't he think of saying this at the time? He regretted and was so angry that he wanted to slap him a few times.

After that time, it is not good to hit people for no reason. I have experienced many such things before, and I have learned a truth: no matter what you say at this time, the last sentence must be said by yourself, and you must fight back against what others say.

Being happy and satisfied is the best thing to do. It is other people's business if they feel frustrated. Having been with the old lady for so many years, I have been influenced by her to some extent.

But I wouldn't dare use this trick on the old lady. After all, she is my mother-in-law. Besides, she is old and only has a few more years to live. I might as well consider it as a way of honoring her. It doesn't mean I've learned it in vain.

But the second brother will not receive such treatment. He will have to take revenge on him for all the anger he has suffered and will never swallow his anger in the future.

He walked over to the two children and asked in a slightly reproachful tone, "Where have you been? Why are you back just now?"

Before they could answer, they noticed that Jinshui's body was covered with dried dirt.

"How is this going?"

The two looked at each other and said what they had prepared in advance.

The second son's wife did not suspect anything. Usually the two children were very honest and would never lie.

They took a long detour to go out to relieve themselves, not wanting to be seen, and when it was too dark they couldn't find their way back and fell into a mud pit. They suffered a lot.

The second son's wife felt very distressed and said, "I have another set of clothes here. I'll find it for you and change into it quickly."

Jinshui nodded and agreed.

It was the first time I lied and I wasn't caught. It was great. Things like killing a wolf and eating sweet potatoes must not be known to anyone else, not even my mother. One more person means more danger.

Besides, there are so many people to be wary of here, this is really not a good time to talk about this kind of thing.

I made an agreement with Xiu Li that we must not mention anything that happened today when there are other people around.

In a place like this, it is very inconvenient to clean the mud and dirt on your body, and it is very inconvenient to just change clothes. You have to wait for the flood to recede and then go home to wash yourself properly.

The eldest son's wife and Xiu Li blocked the man, got a wet cloth and wiped it quickly.

After changing into the clothes my mother gave me, I felt much fresher.

When it was time for breakfast, there was nothing left to eat as there was not much that we had brought from home.

The old lady looked at the things in the pot and became interested.

This little bit of food is not enough for Manguan and Fugui to eat, so the two money-losing guys over there don’t need to eat it either. Food at this time is so precious, and they don’t deserve it.

"Jinshui, Xiuli, go find some wild vegetables. These things are not enough to fill your stomach."

The second son's wife glanced at the old lady and felt a little dissatisfied. Usually they did the most work, but now they were not allowed to eat.

"Mom, they haven't eaten yet."

The old lady glared at her, and the second son's wife immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at her. The fear of being scolded was deeply imprinted in her mind.

"You think I don't know that I'm not deaf or blind, why are you talking so much?"

"There's only so much food in the pot, how can anyone eat it? If they are not allowed to go, then you should go."

The second son's wife was not willing to do so much work. Ever since her last miscarriage, she felt that her health was not as good as before. Besides, she was not as familiar with the mountain as they were. It would be faster for Jinshui and Xiuli to find something. Maybe after they finished looking, they would still have time for breakfast. Thinking of this, she did not stop them.

The old lady pursed her lips at them.

Jinshui and Xiuli left. The wild vegetable soup was not enough for one person to drink. It was no different from drinking water. If they didn't want to drink it, they didn't have to.

Holding the dirty clothes, I prepared to find a place to wash them.

Xiu Li suddenly had an idea, "Sister, why don't we go find Uncle San and ask him to help build a bridge with the hunter, and then we can give some of the money we get to Uncle San. After all, we need a middleman, and he just gave us sweet potatoes to eat."

Jinshui also thought this was a good idea. There was a spring at his uncle's place, which was perfect for washing clothes.

Seeing that it was almost time and they should have finished breakfast, I set out to look for them.

Ni'er and Niu Li are cleaning up the dishes.

It was Ni'er who had sharp eyes and saw Jinshui and Xiuli walking towards her.

She looked around warily again. There should be only the two of them, not those annoying people like grandma.

Putting down what I was holding, I greeted them, "Hey, have you had breakfast?"

Jinshui and Xiuli hurried over.

"We've eaten, we've eaten. Your father just gave each of us a sweet potato."

The two of them seemed to be hesitant to speak. Xiuli looked at Jinshui. She was a little unable to open her mouth, so she had to speak herself.

"We need your help with something."

Normally these two people work very efficiently, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save so much money in the system. Thanks to them for helping in digging wild vegetables, it's only right that they help.

"what's up?"

The two of them told Ni'er everything about killing the wolf.

It was hard to believe that such a thin girl could actually kill a wolf. Ni'er's eyes widened when she heard this.

"Did he really kill him?"

Nodding at the same time.

"He really beat him to death."

This is really good news. Although it’s not a good question to ask, the words are already on the tip of my tongue. “Are you going to use this money for your own use?”

Jinshui felt that Ni'er would definitely agree to this matter, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a look of certainty.

"Of course, it will never be used by anyone else. It's only for the two of us."

Nier patted her chest.

"Okay, I'll help you with this. I have to tell my father and ask him to help bring the hunter over."

When the third girl heard the news, she had the same expression as Ni'er, and was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close. It turned out that there was so much mud on Jinshui's body just now, which was caused by fighting the wolf. The two little girls were really amazing.

The third child hurried over and saw that the two children looked calm, and he admired them from the bottom of his heart.
