It turned out that Wang Xiuzhi's sister, Wang Xiumei, married into the next village. She had not given birth to a child in more than ten years of marriage, so she was not liked by her in-laws and lived a hard life. Today, Wang Daniu went to his sister's house and happened to see that the family was forcing her to divorce because she had no children, so he took his sister back in a fit of anger.

Wang Xiumei also burst into tears at this time and said, "Brother, what should I do in the future, wuwu..."

Sanni and Li Shuzhen were also in a dilemma. Since their sister couldn't have children, it would be difficult for her to get married again after getting divorced. They were silent for a while and didn't know how to persuade them.

The two brothers Wang Daniu and Wang Erniu smoked with heavy faces, and you could hear a pin drop in the room.

Seeing Wang Xiumei sad, Lin Ping also knew that in the countryside, spitting can drown people. How could Wang Xiumei have children? How could anyone want her? She would be lonely all her life. So he said, "Aunt, whether you can have children or not is not necessarily a woman's problem. I will take you to the county hospital for a check-up tomorrow. Maybe it's your man's problem."

Wang Xiumei was stunned when she heard this and asked, "Is this true? Isn't childbirth a woman's job? Why is it related to men?"

Lin Ping also knew that it would be difficult to explain it in a short time, so he smiled and said, "Aunt, giving birth is not just a woman's business. You'll know when you go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. But your in-laws are not that good. I think you should get a divorce. You're not that old, so you can just find another one."

Sanni's eyes lit up when she heard that and she said, "Xiumei, Pingzi is right. There is not a single good person in your husband's family. You have been working like a slave for them all these years. It is better to get a divorce. If there is really something wrong with your husband, you will never have children in the future."

Wang Xiumei's marriage was arranged at that time, and there was no such thing as love. Now she has figured it out and nodded, "Well, I'll listen to you and get a divorce! Otherwise, my man will beat me to death sooner or later. If my eldest brother hadn't left early this time, I would have been beaten."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "That's right. Even if I can't find one in the village, I'll find one for my aunt in the city."

Wang Xiumei became more cheerful after she came to her senses. She glared at Lin Ping and said, "You have no right to speak here."

Time passed quickly as the family talked, and soon it got dark. Everyone knew that Lin Ping had hidden a lot of food. Wang Daniu looked at the sky and said, "Pingzi, let's go. It will be dark when we come back."

In this way, Wang Daniu's brothers Wang Ben and Wang Hu followed Lin Ping out of the village and walked towards the county town.

Because it was dark when they went out, no one noticed that the Wang family left the village.

Following the way they came to a place not far from the county town, Lin Ping pointed to a large ditch covered with reeds and said, "Uncle, uncle, the food is hidden in here." After that, he took out ten bags of food from the storage space, a total of 500 kilograms.

Wang Daniu looked around and saw no one, so he ran down to the ditch to search. After a while, he shouted, "Erniu, come quickly and carry the food."

The five men each carried two bags of corn flour and walked back. Wang Daniu had more than ten pounds of pork hanging around his neck, and Wang Erniu had two big roosters tied around his waist. Fortunately, they didn't meet anyone along the way.

It was quiet when they returned to the village. When Sanni heard the noise and opened the door, her eyes popped out when she saw the food that several people were carrying.

Wang Daniu cursed, "You silly woman, hurry up and get out of the way. It will be bad if someone sees you."

Sanni came to her senses and quickly stepped aside to let the few people into the yard. At the same time, she looked outside to see if anyone had noticed them. Seeing that no one was around, she happily closed the gate.

Back in the main room, Li Shuzhen was also dumbfounded and stammered, "Did you rob the grain store?"

You know, Lin Ping brought a 200-jin sack when he came here, and now he has so much food, so he won't have to go hungry anymore.

After closing the door and seeing that Wang Daniu and his brother had not come back from the food, Lin Ping warned them, "Uncle, don't let others know about the food, otherwise it will easily cause trouble."

Wang Daniu came back to his senses and nodded solemnly, "I understand the seriousness of the matter."

Wang Erniu also said seriously: "I think we should hide the grain in the cellar. It will be safer this way."

Li Shuzhen and Sanni also nodded heavily. This was about the lives of the whole family. You know, people can do anything when they are hungry.

Sanni quickly sent Wang Hui to watch at the door, and then said to Wang Daniu, "Daniu, let's quickly hide the grain in the cellar."

After all the food was put into the cellar, everyone's faces were filled with smiles. Wang Daniu said, "Erniu, leave the food with me first. Your home is far away, so people won't see it on the road. If you are short of food in the future, come and get it at night."

Wang Erniu and Li Shuzhen naturally had no objection. They also understood that Wang Daniu was worried that moving so much grain would be discovered, and that he would not be able to explain himself and might get into trouble.

The older children were also sensible and knew what food meant, so they looked at their cousin with gratitude, as they were really scared of being hungry.

Seeing that everything had been discussed, Sanni smiled and said, "Then I'll go cook. Today we can eat all we can."

The children cheered when they heard this, as they hadn't eaten enough solid food for a long time.

Lin Ping handed over the dozen pounds of meat he brought to Sanni and said, "Aunt, stew all the meat to nourish the children."

Sanni looked at the dozen pounds of meat and said distressedly, "Pingzi, just stew two pounds, how can you cook it like this?"

Lin Ping waved his hand and said, "It's all stewed. Look at the faces of your brothers and sisters. You need to nourish them well."

Wang Ben, Wang Hu and Wang Bao's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. Yaya even drooled at the sight of the meat. Wang Daniu felt bad and said to Sanni, "I heard Pingzi ate it all. You and the child really need some supplements."

Sanni nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Li Shuzhen followed him into the kitchen as she was also craving for meat. As for the children, they all gathered around the kitchen door and refused to leave.

The whole family had a lively dinner. After finishing the meal, they were all full. Wang Daniu patted his stomach and said, "I haven't eaten this full in a long time."

Sanni smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your nephew."

The next morning.

Lin Ping had just gotten up when he heard a commotion outside. He went out and saw several people arguing with Wang Daniu, while Wang Xiumei was protected by Sanni behind them. He immediately realized that it was his aunt's family.

He took a few steps forward and asked, "Aunt, what's going on?"

Sanni said angrily, "This family is so unreasonable that they asked your aunt to get a divorce today."

Lin Ping frowned and said, "Auntie, have you thought it through?"

Wang Xiumei also figured it out at this time. Rather than being bullied in this family, it would be better to divorce quickly. So she nodded and said, "Pingzi, I've made up my mind. Let's get a divorce today!"

Since Wang Xiumei agreed to divorce, things became easy. Soon, several people went to the town to complete the procedures.

After the divorce, she went to the town hospital for a physical check-up. Fortunately, the result was good and Wang Xiumei was in good health. This made Wang Xiumei happy and sad. She lay in front of Sanni and cried, venting the grievances she had suffered over the years.

After Wang Xiumei's divorce, she had nowhere to go and could only live with Wang Daniu's family. Not only did Sanni not say anything, she also kept comforting Wang Xiumei, which made Lin Ping nod secretly.

At noon, we celebrated Wang Xiumei's new birth and had lunch at Wang Daniu's house. The children were so happy. Sanni listened to Lin Ping's stewed potatoes with the leftover meat from yesterday, and the children's mouths were full of oil.

During the meal, Lin Ping asked, "Is there any game in the mountains, uncle?"

Wang Daniu shook his head and sighed, "There's none in Jinlan Mountain, but there might be some in Jigong Mountain, but they're not easy to find either. Nowadays, many people have gone into the mountains, and there are fewer and fewer prey."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Then I'll go to Jigong Mountain to take a look."

Wang Daniu said, "How about I go with you? The mountain is steep and it's hard to walk there."

Lin Ping waved his hand and said, "No need, I can go by myself."

Wang Daniu nodded and said, "Okay, just be careful."

The next morning.

Lin Ping came to Jigong Mountain. In later generations, Jigong Mountain became a nature reserve with natural wild animals, the most famous of which was the long-tailed pheasant.

Jigong Mountain is known as the place where the three rivers of Chu and Yu are divided. With its Buddha's light, sea of ​​clouds, rime, strange peaks and rocks, waterfalls and flowing springs, it was later called one of the eight major natural scenic spots. The scenery is truly beautiful.

While enjoying the natural beauty, he searched for the prey he needed. It was not until he went deep into the forest that he captured a few long-tailed pheasants. After another hour, he finally encountered a nest of wild boars. There were more than a dozen of them in total, big and small. Lin Ping killed them all and stored them in the storage space.

Seeing that the sun was shining brightly in the sky and it was almost noon, Lin Ping decided to return to Wangjiabao. He had already harvested a lot today, including wild boars and pheasants, as well as several roe deer.

Halfway through the journey, he saw a slender figure lying on the ground not far away. Lin Ping took a few quick steps and realized that it was a girl. The flowery jacket she was wearing was washed white, and even the cuffs were much shorter, which showed that her family must be living in great difficulty.

After helping the girl up, he found that although her hair was dry and her face was sallow, it could not hide her beauty. The first impression Lin Ping had was that she was beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

If she recovers, she will be much better than many celebrities in her previous life. After careful examination, it was found that the girl was bitten by a snake, which caused her to faint due to poisoning. If she had not met Lin Ping, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The snake venom was quickly expelled from the body with a purification spell, and the girl slowly opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of a strange man. Her face turned red and she struggled, "Thank you...thank you for saving me."

Although she was unconscious, she knew that she was bitten by a snake and that it was the person in front of her who saved her.

Lin Ping smiled and said, "No need, you are lucky. If you hadn't met me, you would have died in the mountains today. How can a little girl like you go into the mountains by yourself? Aren't you afraid of encountering wild animals?"

The girl pushed Lin Ping away and stood up shyly, saying, "There's nothing to eat at home, so I can only try my luck in the mountains. Even if there's no game, I can still pick some wild vegetables to fill my stomach."

After she finished speaking, her face was dejected. Thinking about the situation at home, she became anxious again. She wanted to stand up and continue her own things, but she didn't know whether it was because the snake venom had just been cleared or because of long-term malnutrition, her body swayed and fell directly into Lin Ping's arms. Her little face immediately turned red with shame, which made Lin Ping stunned. He decided in his heart that since he had met such a beauty, how could he let her go.

He put his arm around the girl and said, "You are too weak, take a rest first."

The girl just lay in Lin Ping's arms with a blushing face. She wanted to get up but was unable to do so. She didn't know how to deal with it for a moment, so she lowered her head and it was about to be pressed on his chest.

Lin Ping made small talk: "Can you tell me about your family situation? Why did you go into the mountains by yourself?"

The girl's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then she told him about the situation at home.
