Chapter 10 Snow Night

  The 20 taels of silver they got from selling snake skins and snake guts, the Wang family would naturally think about it, and if they were concerned about it, it wouldn't be worth it. The family is not divided, and the money is all managed by the old lady. Everyone is used to being poor for many years, and they don't think how much money should be in their hands.

   "Our family doesn't have much background. Over the years, we have treated the second child and your father, and have caused a lot of famines. We owe a lot of favors. I plan to use this money to pay off debts."

   The poverty of the old Wang family was not caused by one or two things.

  The second child of the Wang family has been paralyzed in bed for almost five years. Old Wangtou suffered from the root cause of his illness when he was young. Last year, he started walking with a limp. From time to time, his head was sweating from pain.

   Not to mention such a big family, who has a headache, even if it only uses ten yuan or eight yuan, it will be a big expense.

   When encountering corvée, the three brothers took turns to go. The task of corvée was heavy. Every time they came back, they were seriously ill, and they had to be raised for a month or two to get better.

   After a few years, instead of saving money, they owed more than a dozen taels of silver.

   It is said that in addition to the above, the parents owe a lot of money, but I don't know how much, who the creditor is, and when to pay it off.

  My parents didn't say it, and they didn't dare to ask.

Mrs. Wang didn't plan to calculate it carefully with everyone, she just said: "Our family owes more than 13 taels of money for the famine, this is something that should be paid back to others, even the principal and the profit to make 15 taels and return it to others. Yes, the three taels of silver owed by your mother's family will be repaid with the eldest in the spring, the second's family..."

   After talking about everyone's division of labor, Mrs. Wang said: "The rest of the money will be used at home, but no one is allowed to think about this money, just treat it as if it doesn't exist!"

"I know what you think. Now it's freezing cold, there's absolutely no food in the fields, and your parents' families are not rich, so your life must be tight." Mrs. Wang looked at a house of daughters-in-law, no matter what they were. With an expression on his face, he said sternly, "I don't care what you think in your heart, but at this juncture, no one is allowed to eat inside and out! We have some meat, some grain, and even firewood, all of which belong to our old Wang family, no one can Don't think about taking things to your mother's house at this time! Even if your mother's father and mother starve to death immediately, it is not allowed, otherwise I will beat you to death here today, do you understand?!"

   The second daughter-in-law, Ma Shi's eyes shrank, she really thought about ordering meat and grain from her mother-in-law and secretly sending it back to her parents' home.

   Her mother's family was even poorer than her in-law's, and maybe her poor old lady starved to death.

   "I'll eat mine..." Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth wide, and before she could finish her sentence, she was frightened by Madam Wang's cannibalistic gaze.

  Xiao Zhang is Mrs. Wang's niece outside her family, and she and the old lady are both surnamed Zhang, so everyone calls her Xiao Zhang.

   "It's just you who are kind? It's just you taking care of your parents' family?!" Mrs. Wang looked at her with hatred, and then glanced at Wang Chuanfu, "Boss, why did you tell her!"

   Wang Chuanfu said: "That... three younger siblings, before we went out, the village outside was already eating children. At that time, they were not short of food, and even asked if there were any children in our village who wanted to change food..."

  These words, he didn't want to say, for fear of scaring people.

   Having said that, Wang Chuanfu couldn't go on.

   The snow was so heavy that everyone was afraid of death. When the fear reached a certain level, they dared to do anything.

  Xiao Zhang's face turned white all of a sudden.

eat human? !

   He dares to eat people before he is short of food. If he is really short of food, knowing that she brought food to her parents’ house, can her mother’s house be settled? Even, Hujia Village, where her husband's family is located...

  Everyone has also figured this out, and no longer dares to think otherwise.

  Old Mrs. Wang saw that these daughters-in-law were frightened, and told a few sons a few words, and then everyone dispersed.

   In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year.

  The people in the village got snake meat, and they felt better, and began to prepare one after another.

   Multigrain cakes, glutinous rice dumplings, snake meat balls, all made one by one.

   For those who have corner fabrics at home, they also tear red cloth into strips and hang them on the surrounding branches.

   Mrs. Hu was in a good mood. He also took out some of the red paper he had in stock, wrote a couplet to each household, and received a penny in a meaningful way.

  Everyone posted the Spring Festival couplets, and they seemed to be prosperous.

   In the blink of an eye, the year is approaching.

  The old people were right. On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar new year, a goose feather snow came again. This snow was heavier than any previous snow, and the snowflakes covered the ground in a short time.

   The snow that had just thawed was solidified again.

  The village chief called on the young and middle-aged people in the village to patrol the village, and let everyone else go to the house if there is no major issue. The family, regardless of gender, age, or child, as long as there is no discord, all huddle together, so it’s better to stay warm.

  Xiao Ayu was also wrapped in three layers and three layers in the family, making her shrink in the blanket.

   That little lamb didn't die for several days, and was always nestled in Xiao Ayu's arms, warming each other with Xiao Ayu.

   Seeing that it didn't die, the family even gave it a bit of goo, only a few mouthfuls, barely hanging.

   [Bao, don't feed it again, how precious it is! 】 That night, Xiao Ayu felt the little lamb twitching in her arms, so she took some Spiritual Water from the space and held it in her palm to give it a drink.

   The tip of the little lamb shrugged, licked it greedily, and licked Xiao Ayu's palm back and forth again and again.

  Because it was too itchy, Xiao Ayu tried hard to hold back her laughter, for fear of waking up the family.

   In the past two days, Xiao Ayu has fed the little lamb two or three times of water, and the little lamb's spirit has become stronger and stronger, and the struggle is stronger.

  Xiao Ayu also wanted to give Aniang and the others some water to drink, but never found a chance.

  The elf also said, don't let the family know where she got it from, otherwise, the family will be swallowed.

   Xiao Ayu dared not take it directly.

   The little lamb drank the water and seemed to have endless strength, so he broke free from Xiao Ayu's hand and jumped to the ground.

   The door of the bedroom is not a door, but is made of old cotton wool and bamboo strips that are completely unusable, and the little lamb gets out of the soft cloth at the bottom.

   "Little Sheep!" Xiao Ayu was anxious and called out softly, and was about to follow.

  【Bao, you haven't dressed yet! 】

   In fact, she wore a lot of clothes. After all, the quilt at home was not warm enough, but the thickest face jacket was not put on.

  【The outside will freeze you to death! 】

  It's a pity that Xiao Ayu didn't pay attention to what the dumpling shouted. She only felt that the lamb was gone.

  The nights in winter are very dark, the Wang family has no money to light oil lamps, and the surroundings are pitch-dark.

  Xiao Ayu got out of the quilt, pressed the quilt, and followed the memory out of the bedroom door.

   She is going to find the lamb.

  The lamb is her playmate.

【You go back! 】 The dumplings are in a hurry in the space.

  This little brat really gives it a headache.

   Little Ayu stepped on her shoes and walked out of the bedroom in a hurry. Wang Chuanman and Mrs Liu, who were asleep, didn't feel it.

   She was coaxed by the dumplings and drank two tablespoons of Wanling Water every day. Now she is in good health and her eyesight is good.

  Wang Chuanman and their bedroom were outside the courtyard. As soon as Xiao Ayu came out, the cold wind hit her.

   Xiao Ayu shook, but she still walked forward firmly.

   Because, she vaguely saw the shadow of the lamb.

  【I'm really scared of you! 】 Danzi had no choice but to activate the few energy in the space to make a warm shield for Xiao Ayu.

   Xiao Ayu felt cold in an instant, but she no longer had the energy to deal with this, she just followed in the footsteps of the lamb.

  The hood burns all the energy of love, and the meat of the dumplings hurts so badly, or else, this brat will freeze to death soon!

   Just when Danzi felt helpless, it suddenly felt a special energy.

【Ugh? what is that? 】

  【Treasure, that is the direction, hurry up, hurry up, someone needs your help! 】

   [No, no, no, you go back, tell the adults - go back - you go back first! 】
