She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Then Gu Qingqing arranged for Wen Wuyan to cut the meat that she needed to take away tomorrow, and the rest of the meat was cut into pieces according to her requirements.

Then marinate the meat you want to eat with salt.

There wasn't much wild boar fat, so they kept all of it instead of selling it.

She also asked Wen Wuyan to use bamboo strips to make two bamboo clips and a dozen thin sticks according to her strokes.

It was not until before dinner that Gu Qingqing remembered the wood ears she had picked and the bamboo basket that had been trampled by the wild boar.

She spread the fungus on the open space beside her, showed the bamboo basket to Wen Wuyan, and said apologetically, "This was accidentally stepped on by a wild boar. Do you think it can be repaired?"

Wen Wuyan just took a look and said with a smile, "Sure, put it aside."

Gu Qingqing said "Oh" and put the bamboo basket by the door.

By the time all the work was done, the night had already swept the earth.

That night, with oil lamps lit, the family had the most sumptuous dinner in their history. There was no porridge, no rice, no wild vegetable porridge, no steamed buns with wheat bran, only bones with meat and bone soup.

Not to mention Dahua and Erhua, even the new member Dahei ate so much that he fell into a deep sleep.

Wen Dacheng stood in the darkness, looking at the oil lamp from afar.

After he came back from the mountains, he heard from the villagers what had happened here, and naturally he also knew that his wife had come to make trouble.

If he went up the mountain to look for someone, he would naturally help. Now if he went up to show concern, he would be suspected of wanting to take advantage of him, which was obviously not his intention.

Hey!

Because he is speechless, he will be inferior to others in his life and live in the hatred of the old woman, but he can do nothing about it.

After seeing with his own eyes that Wuyan's family was safe, he felt relieved.

Wen Dacheng came quietly and left quietly.

......

Here, Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing naturally had no idea what was happening in the darkness. At this moment, they were a happy and cheerful family.

Gu Qingqing and Dahua moved everything, including the table and the meat, into the cabin, which now filled up the already busy cabin.

Gu Qingqing carried the oil lamp into the wooden house. The oil lamp emitted a dim light, but it could not block the harmonious and happy people in the house.

Wen Wuyan was teaching Dahua and the others how to count, and at the same time, he was counting out the money in the basket.

One thousand two hundred and twenty copper coins were what they earned from selling meat today.

Of course it wasn't Dahua who could count to a thousand, but Wen Wuyan taught them to string fifty copper coins together and then convert them at the end.

After Gu Qingqing fed Sanhua, she handed Sanhua to Wen Wuyan. She kept the money, and the family prepared to go to bed.

Xiao Hei, who was full and satisfied, also tried to join in the fun, but was directly carried by Gu Qingqing into a broken basket outside the door.

The next day, Gu Qingqing got up as soon as the cock crowed. Wen Wuyan heard her getting up and got up too. Before Gu Qingqing could say no, he hurriedly said, "It's too dark outside. I'll help you light the fire."

Gu Qingqing had to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Wen Wuyan lit the fire, and Gu Qingqing put water in the large piece of pork whose skin had been roasted last night to cook it, while she took the opportunity to prepare other things.

After she placed the candied pork and fried salted vegetables in the ceramic bowl, she poured sauce on it and added peppercorns. She placed the bowl in the pot, found a small bamboo lid to cover the basin, then covered the pot, and told Wen Wuyan to steam it over low heat.

"After the water boils, just use a low heat to steam it slowly. After an hour, you can turn off the heat. When Yuzhu and the others come to work at noon, you can steam some sorghum rice and eat some with them. Leave the rest in the pot and continue to simmer."

"okay, I get it."

Normally, the meat should be steamed for an hour and a half, but considering that the wild boar meat was firm, Gu Qingqing asked Wen Wuyan to steam it for two hours.

The sky was already bright with the morning glow appearing in the east. Gu Qingqing carried an old bamboo basket from home with about five pounds of pork in it, ten copper coins in her pocket, and Dahua with her. The two of them set out for Shuangxi Village in the morning dew in the mountains.

It wasn't that Gu Qingqing was unhappy to bring extra copper coins with her, but she was really afraid that after giving the copper coins to Gu Jia, she would not be able to keep them and they would be taken away by her gambling-addicted father.

"Are you hungry, Dahua?" Gu Qingqing asked Dahua after they had walked halfway.

"Mom, I'm not hungry. The piece of meat I ate this morning is still in my stomach. I feel warm all over now." Dahua said happily.

She had eaten meat last night and early this morning. If it weren't for the smell of meat in her mouth, she would have thought she was dreaming.

"Okay, tell me when you're hungry. I brought cooked eggs. We're not eating at grandma's today. We'll come back after we take a look there." Gu Qingqing held a thin bamboo in her hand and used it as a crutch.

Dahua nodded sensibly, "I understand, mother."

The mother and daughter hurried on and finally arrived at Shuangxi Village when the sun was high in the sky and the dew on the roadside grass had dissipated.

When she met someone she knew along the way, Gu Qingqing greeted them calmly.

However, before she even entered the fenced yard of her home, she heard a scolding voice coming from inside: "Tell me, where did you hide all the money in the house? Tell me quickly, or I'll beat you to death."

"Where is the money left at home? The one or two taels of silver we got from selling grain the day before yesterday have been taken away by you. Did you go gambling again? Didn't you promise us to pay off your debts and never touch that stuff again? How could you go again?" At this time, a woman's hoarse voice with a pleading tone sounded.

clap~

Amid the sound of pounding, the man's voice rang out again.

"Why do you care what I do? I know you have hidden some silver. Give it to me, or I will sell you to Ruyi Lane in town and let you earn money for me."

Ruyi Lane is the name given by the man to the nameless lane. As the name suggests, going there can make you happy.

When the woman heard this, she begged, "Master, I really don't have any money. Please let me and my family go. In order to make you pay off your debt, the food in our house is only enough for us to eat until the beginning of spring."

"Don't think I'm easy to fool. Where's the money from selling eggs? Last time I saw you sneaking out with a basket of eggs, did you really think I knew nothing? Will you hand it over? If not, I will not only sell you, but also your brood of hens."

"You can't sell the chicken. Mom's leg is injured and Xiaocao is pregnant. She's waiting to eat chicken to replenish her body...ah--" The woman screamed, followed by two loud slaps.

"You said I can't sell it, so I can't sell it? Who do you think you are? Just wait for me."

After beating the man, the man turned around and walked out viciously, calculating in his mind how much he could sell the three old hens in the chicken coop for.

As a result, before he walked out of the house, he suddenly saw a person standing at the door. Gu Daquan was stunned at first and was about to curse who was standing at his door so early in the morning?

As Gu Daquan let out a scream, he took a few steps back, lost his balance and fell to the ground, curling up like a shrimp.
