Chapter 109 Too Poor

Huo Shen plundered with drunkenness, it turned out that a girl's lips and tongue can be so delicate and beautiful, making people forget about it and find it difficult to control themselves.

Jing Li, who was trapped in his arms and holding the back of her head with one hand, was a little confused. She must have drunk too much wine, which was why her whole body was so weak that she couldn't break free.

Under the moonlight, their silhouettes were reflected in the river, and it was hard to tell who had upset whose heart.

"Uncle! I couldn't take you to escape with me. It's unfilial for a nephew!"

"Mom! Did you see that my little brother is no longer lazy and can run around outside very well?"

A cry came from afar, frightening the two people who were confused and infatuated by the river. Jingli regained consciousness and was about to push Huo Sen away when he grabbed him and rolled him into the reed marsh.

"In all my life, I have never been taken advantage of so much!" Huo Shen whispered to her ear, his voice as rich as wine.

"So, Ah Li, you don't think you can get away at will after provoking me, do you?"

Jing Li lay on the bed, touching her numb and red lips, thinking of Huo Shen's dangerous appearance by the river.

Alas, sex makes one's mind dim. It's not easy to provoke a psychopath. The world of neurosis is hard for people to understand!
Jingli fell asleep with random thoughts.

Huo Shen in the next room couldn't sleep. He rubbed his thin lips and reminisced about the beauty they had seen. He still had some unfinished thoughts. If she really just liked his good skin, it didn't seem impossible.

Huo Shen was woken up by Wanbaoquan in the middle of the night and left. They were going to the city to sell leather and they couldn't leave early.

Huo Shen was filled with anger. He didn't want to leave so early at all, okay?He wanted to wait for the girl next door to turn around and send him away in the early morning mist.

The girl who was still trying to talk slipped back from the river carrying the fish caught by Wang Dalong and others, while Jing Damei was talking about the Wang family affairs.

"Then Wang San's wife is making noises about making peace with Wang San. I heard that Wang Lizheng was so angry that he lost his temper."

Wang Youcai's family used to collect firewood and hooked up with people from Jingjia Village from time to time. They had been having a heated relationship with the gossip-loving Jing Damei recently, exchanging some current news about Wang Lizheng's family.

Several old men and women from the Jing family were making mattresses in the yard. It was getting colder and colder. There was no kang in the newly built house, so they had to make some thick straw mats quickly.

Mrs. Ge divided the shuttlecock into strands: "It's better to leave early. What good results can come from following such a wicked thing?"

Mrs. Fan pulled out the bamboo strips and clamped the shuttlecock: "Then the Wang family is willing to give in?"

Jing Damei flicked the shuttlecock with her hands and feet quickly: "I definitely don't want to. We can all hear the sound of Mrs. Wang Lizheng scolding her daughter-in-law. It's just your old ears that don't hear it."

Jing Damei quickly knitted the straw mat while talking, without delaying her work at all.

The gossip about the Wang Lizheng family was being talked about in the west end, and the Wang Lizheng family in the east end almost staged a full martial arts show.

"Let me tell you, if Zhang Erni marries into my family, she will become a member of my family. No matter whether my third child is dead or alive, she can't even think of leaving!"

Mrs. Wang Lizheng stood with her hands on her hips and looked at the Zhang family with cold eyes.

Zhang Erni, Wang San's daughter-in-law, was sitting in the yard with her hair disheveled. She cried loudly when she heard this: "Mother-in-law, are you talking human language? Why did I follow Wang San? You don't know why?"

"Since I followed him, I have accepted my fate, but look what he has done? The house smells good and smells bad. This is not enough. I also have to go out to hunt for wild food. Otherwise, where would this disaster have come from? !" Wang Lizheng's wife snorted: "Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines in his family? Your Zhang family doesn't have one. That's because the men in your Zhang family don't have the ability. There are so many people in my son's house, so that's his ability!"

The Zhang family is considered a wealthy family. If Wang Lizheng had not seen Wang Lizheng's wealth, he would not have agreed to this marriage after his daughter was robbed.

Zhang Erni was not a vegetarian either. She rolled up her sleeves coldly and said, "My mother-in-law, Wang San is like this now. The meat in Erni's belly was also wiped out by those things. It's clean and uninvolved. We can get together and relax easily, and we won’t have to spend the whole day looking at my Nier in a displeasing way.”

Several brothers from Zhang Erni's family stepped forward one after another, revealing their muscular bodies. Her family started out as butchers, and her brothers were all big and round, making them difficult to bully at first glance.

Mrs. Wang Lizheng took half a step back: "Haha! Could it be that you thought you were the only one in the Zhang family and made me anxious? I'll make your entire Zhang family miserable!"

Mrs. Wang Lizheng's words were full of intimidation. Her family had this kind of strength. The Zhang family looked at each other, feeling a little bit like riding a tiger.

Zhang Erni shed tears and knelt in front of her mother: "Aniang, my daughter is unfilial and has caused trouble for you. You and your brothers should go back."

After all, Zhang's mother felt sorry for her daughter: "What are you doing? That Wang San is already like that. You are not even twenty yet, how are you going to live in this life?"

Zhang Erni's eyes were determined: "Aniang, if I follow Wang San, I will be his, and I will be with him whether I live or die from now on. Stop trying to persuade me and go back with your brothers as soon as possible!"

Wang Lizheng's wife stood by and sneered: "That's right! It's not in vain for my third son to love you."

Zhang's mother had no choice but to cry while holding her daughter in her arms, wiping her tears and leaving with her sons. This was the end of the matter for the Wang family.

Jing Damei and Wang Youcai's family, who came out to cut grass, nestled under an old banyan tree, watching the Zhang family leave in a hurry.

Wang Youcai's family crooked Jing Damei with his elbow: "Do you think the Zhang family really just let it go?"

Jing Damei peeled the skin of the sweet potato with a sickle, then took a bite of it: "What else can it do! The Wang family is so bad, they will grind this third wife of Wang to death."

Wang Youcai's family took a bite of half of the sweet potato given by Jing Damei: "Tsk tsk! This Erni will have a hard time in the future!"

But who’s life is not difficult these days?Jing Li felt that life was extremely difficult for her family.

At the end of September, Mr. Jing's eldest granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, gave birth to a fat great-grandson. Mr. Jing happily showed off his two front teeth all day long.

After the bustling full-moon wine, it’s already the beginning of winter.

Jingli and Mr. Jing reconciled their accounts. In this month, with the efforts of the whole village, they went up and down the mountains and rivers to do various things, selling game, furs and various medicinal materials, and earned 870, five taels and four coins of silver.

Then we stocked up on winter grains, vegetables, sweet potatoes, dug two wells, and purchased some pots, pans, and other items, spending 880.

There was no increase in income at all. Instead, they ate up their laurels and added 12 taels of silver. This was a huge amount of money for an ordinary family. They didn't add any clothes or buy anything. They just spent so much money on eating.

Mr. Jing, who just got a great-grandson, is very sad. Let alone having a great-grandson in school in the future, whether he can have enough to eat is a problem. Next year, he has to build a Wubao. If he doesn't build it, it won't work. These times are too chaotic.

After taking stock, Jingli felt very melancholy. She thought that she could lead everyone on a brighter road, but unexpectedly she was still resting on her laurels.
