Dressed as a villain's wife

Chapter 21
The elder brother had already opened his mouth, and the husband didn't speak because he was only out of consideration for himself. Thinking of how well his in-laws treated him, Sun Cui also gritted his teeth. At worst, he would eat less and distribute the rations.

Lin Ercheng looked at his daughter-in-law and sighed in his heart for a moment. His daughter-in-law is a good one, but he was sorry for her and didn't let her live a good life.

Everyone is like this, Chen Qiulan can't say anything more, since her father-in-law opened her mouth and her husband agreed, what else is there to say?
Also just nodded.

Seeing everyone agreeing to come down, Mother Lin stopped crying. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and pressed the corners of her eyes. Seeing Nanzhi's two snot hanging from her nose, she was stunned and burst out laughing.

Nanzhi, who was still being thundered by the word "fat girl", came back to his senses, saw everyone in the room looking at him, subconsciously sucked his nose, felt the weight hanging on him, and then hurriedly took out the bag. He took off his handkerchief and wiped it.

Nan Zhi blushed for a moment, why was she so embarrassing when she returned to her mother's house for the first time, thinking about the purpose of her coming, she just waved her hand and refused: "No, no, no, no."

Chen Qiulan also found it funny looking at her sister-in-law. She married a few years earlier than her siblings. It can also be said that she watched her sister-in-law grow up. Thinking of the way the little girl called her sister-in-law back then, she softened her tone: "Just now Let's stay at home, how are you doing now with dogs, orphans and widowed mothers? Although the family is not very rich, the food is still affordable."

Hearing this, Nan Zhi was slightly moved. Her parents and two elder brothers kept her because of her blood, and it was really good for her sister-in-law to keep her. She could also see that life at home might not be much better than her.

"Sister-in-law, no need, I came with the dog this time to deliver something."

Said, Nan Zhi pointed to the donkey cart in the yard.

Father Lin was still a little surprised when he heard that, and looked at the little donkey in the yard curiously: "You brought a donkey here? No, where did you little girl steal a donkey?"

Originally, Nanzhi still felt a little moved in his heart, and suddenly it was shattered into scum, is this the feeling of his own father?

"Grandpa, the big donkey belongs to Granny Liu's family." Gou'er was a little unhappy when he heard Father Lin's words. He ran to the donkey cart, pointed to the side of the cart and said.

"Aniang is here to deliver food."

Gou'er's words undoubtedly poured cold water into the hot pot.

Everyone in the Lin family stood up and looked at Nan Zhi with strange expressions.

"I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it." Nan Zhi hurriedly explained to herself, she felt that her father had a big brain, so don't take her as a thief.

"My mother picked it up."

The dog said again, the chestnuts were picked up by Auntie, and the black noodles were picked up by Auntie and sold for money. They were all picked up.

"Picked it up?" Lin Dacheng looked at his sister suspiciously, can he still pick up food in this world?
The family approached the donkey cart, and Nanzhi reached out to remove the thatch on the donkey cart, revealing the grain bags hidden in the thatch pile.

The roads in the village are difficult to walk, and the donkey carts are even more bumpy. Many people will spread a thick layer of thatch on the boards of the carts, otherwise there is no way for people to sit on them. The thatch is blocked by the wooden boards around the carts. It is best to store food inside.

"I brought some black noodles and chestnuts." Nanzhi said while patting thatch.

The Lin family who looked at the three grain bags were all dumbfounded. They only thought that Nanzhi brought the dog back to her mother's family because she couldn't make it through. They never thought that she could still send food home.

"Girl, where did you get the food?" Mother Lin's fingers trembled a little, pointing at the food tremblingly.

"The dog picked up a rabbit. I sold it in the town and bought it for some money. Those chestnuts were picked up on the mountain at the end of the village."

"Now that rabbit is so valuable?" Sun Cui's eyes widened.

She does know that wild animals are more expensive than domestic ones, but now that the price of food is so high, why can a rabbit exchange a hundred catties of black noodles?

Lin's mother looked at her little girl, her heart was full of distress, "You keep it for yourself, what to send home, there is still food at home."

"Mother, didn't I borrow money from my family before? I think that in the current year, giving money is better than giving food. The dog and I still have something to eat, so don't worry about it." Nanzhi said, putting his arms around Lin The mother's arm shook.

"You silly boy." Lin's mother patted Nan Zhi's hand, feeling very worried. Although she said there was food, how could she not know what the family was like?

The little girl is a good girl, but it's a pity that her life is not good, and she lost her support early.

Lin Dacheng and Lin Ercheng moved the food into the kitchen and felt lighthearted.

Their sister is a good girl, unlike girls from other families who only know how to get things from her natal family.

The sisters-in-law Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui also breathed a sigh of relief. My sister-in-law can live on as long as she can. Seeing the food her husband moved into the kitchen, she couldn't bear it. Although there is really no food in the house, my sister-in-law is now alone. It is definitely more difficult to take care of children than at home.

Nanzhi didn't stay longer at her natal home, she just persuaded her to go to the town to buy food, and finally confirmed that her parents listened, and then urged her to take the dog to Lihua Village.

She was still thinking about going back to the village to fish.

After seeing off Nan Zhi and leaving with the dog, the Lin family sat together again.

In fact, before Nanzhi came back, they were already discussing about going to the town to buy grain, and now they heard her say that the price of grain in the town had risen, and it might continue to rise in the future, and the family was a little anxious.

The Lin family is hardworking. Over the years, the family has saved a total of 13 taels of silver, but they don't know how much food they need to buy now to feed a family of eleven.

If it is all used up at once, what should I do if I have some ideas in the future?
After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to take [-] taels of silver first. After making up their minds, Mother Lin and her two sons set off to the town together.

When Nanzhi returned to the village, it was already very hot. Most of the women in the village went to Dongshan to pick chestnuts, leaving only the man at home to weed in the field. Some people saw Nanzhi coming back with a dog. say hi.

After returning home, Nanzhi went to Aunt Liu's house to return the donkey cart, then took a bamboo basket and took the dog to the river beach at the end of the village.

The river at the end of the village is not big, only more than ten meters wide. Because it has not rained for a long time, half of the riverbed is now exposed, only the water level in the middle of the river is slightly higher.

Looking at the thin layer of water on the river bed, Nanzhi only let the dog hide from the sun under the tree first, and went down to check the situation by himself.

The dog nodded obediently, and only stretched out its small head to look around.

After walking for three or four meters in Nanzhi, I felt the mud under my feet sink slightly. It can be said that the place closer to the shore is safe.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the dog looking eagerly under the tree, and then he smiled and waved and asked, "Do you want to come down, dog?"

"want!"

The dog replied and ran quickly, and climbed down along the position where the south branch had just entered the river.

"Slow down, just play with the water on the side."

"I know, Mommy."

Seeing that the dog was obediently staying aside, Nan Zhi looked at the river below him again.

The river at this location is not deep, it only passed her calf.

After groping for a long time, Nanzhi didn't find any fish, but found two clams the size of a palm.

Nan Zhi knew that mussels were edible, so he threw the mussels aside, and Nan Zhi continued to grope.

Maybe she is lucky and can touch two fish.

With the motivation, Nan Zhi worked harder, and within a short while, he had already found a pile of mussels, the smallest one was as big as a fist, and the bigger ones were as big as his own two palms.

"Aniang, Aniang!" The dog was poking the mud on the bank with a small wooden stick to play, but suddenly found that the stick seemed to be caught by something, and he couldn't pull it out no matter what.

Little dolls are bold, and Gou'er followed Nan Zhi's example and rolled up his sleeves to dig. He waited for the thing to reveal its true colors before shouting twice in excitement.
