The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

Bai Langzhi ran into the house panting, "Why are all the people gone? My uncle is here!"

"You've come just in time! San'er, tell your brother-in-law about what happened."

The man is tall and big, holding a big piece of meat in his hand.

"I went into the mountains to hunt a wild boar this morning, and I was just cleaning up at home, so I'm late."

The man's name was Zhou Wen. He was the husband of Bai Zhao's sister Bai Meidong. He was also a hunter and his family made a living by hunting.

"San'er, why are you back at this time? I was planning to visit your house in a couple of days. I just happened to have some good leather. You can take it to honor your father-in-law!"

Zhou Wen was born simple and honest, without any ulterior motives.

Bai Lao Er stood aside and rolled his eyes secretly.

After a while, Bai Jingzhi saw his grandmother, father and second uncle's faces change.

This uncle is interesting.

This will offend people.

Bai Laoer said sourly, "Brother-in-law, you've already paid back the money that San'er gave you, right? Over the years, you've given San'er a lot of the best leather!"

Old Mrs. Bai hit her second son and scolded him.

"Who told you that you can't be the head of the family? Are you inferior to others just because you married into the family? Your third brother can support you, but you still can't stand up for yourself."

Bai Laoer smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything sarcastic anymore.

Old Mrs. Bai has a clear idea of ​​how the two brothers have treated their family over the years.

After seeing this, Bai Jingzhi had a general understanding of these people.

Her grandmother, Old Lady Bai, has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Second uncle Bai Xing has been labeled as a miser, which can be seen from Yao's reaction.

My uncle Zhou Wen is a bit simple-minded, but he is definitely a grateful person.

Uncle Bai Jin's family and aunt Wang Yuexiang are somewhat "shrewd", but they and their son are honest and kind.

"If that's the case, I'll have to go back and pack up quickly. Our family will be waiting on the mountain road tomorrow evening!"

When Zhou Wen heard the news, he decided to go on the journey together without any hesitation.

"Go back and pack up quickly, don't forget to get two doses of medicine for your mother," Old Lady Bai said as she ran out of the house. "Also, take the embroidery work your wife has done and exchange it for cash to buy some food."

Zhou Wen nodded repeatedly and left in a hurry.

"Mom, don't we have enough food at home?" Bai Zhao asked this question because he didn't know how much food was stored at home.

Hunters in the mountains make a living by hunting and don't grow much food.

"So what if there is food stored? Are you willing to feed your brother-in-law and his family? And your two brothers!"

There is a saying that goes, "The youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of an old lady." Old Mrs. Bai loves her youngest son the most.

Bai Zhao has been smart and caring since he was young. Whenever he has free time, he helps her with work so that she can rest.

After getting married, he was instigated to take a detour. After this incident, the good son he once was returned.

The second son, however, got married and forgot about his mother. He only comes back during the holidays and is never seen at other times.

He would bring some things back home from time to time, but compared with Wei's things, those things were simply unbearable. Whether he cared about them or not was not just lip service.

Bai Lao Er stood aside awkwardly and said helplessly:

"Mom, please give me some face. We have the younger generation here!"

"Okay, let's go help!

Don't even remove the husks from the corn; just pack it like this and go on the road.

By the way, second brother, you and your eldest brother should go buy some farm tools.

Remember, those farm tools should be made of iron, easy to carry and inconspicuous. "

Old Lady Bai's instructions caused Bai Jingzhi to secretly glance at her.

The old lady could think of this. If it were my own idea, it would be really extraordinary.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Let me tell you, my mother came here to escape famine. In the end, she had nothing to protect herself, so it was hard for her to survive!"

Old Lady Bai pushed her second son and said, "Don't just stand there. Go pack the food first, and then go buy farm tools later. Also, if your brother-in-law's family doesn't have enough food, I'll give them some food and you are not allowed to say a word."

"I know!" Bai Laoer and Bai Zhao expressed their opinions.

Seeing the attitudes of the two people, Old Lady Bai was satisfied.

"Let me be frank with you. Take good care of your wives. If things really get chaotic for a few years, the whole family can only get through it together!"

Old Mrs. Bai gave them instructions again before letting them leave.

Bai Jingzhi did not go to help. She went to the kitchen to find her mother.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she heard Yao bullying her mother, with Bai Lingzhi chiming in from time to time.

Little Wang didn't help out and just focused on kneading the dough.

"Oh, Second Aunt, it seems like you have a son!

Second brother, don’t laugh at me. It turns out that not only is there a girl in your family, but I also have a cousin?

Or is it that I, the second uncle, have given birth to a child, and you, as a mother, have given birth to a bastard?"

Bai Jingzhi threw the wild boar meat on the chopping board, snatched the firewood from her mother's hand, and threw it at Bai Lingzhi's feet.

"Ouch, my skirt!" Bai Lingzhi jumped up. This was the first time she wore this skirt today, and there was a cut on the hem of it, and there was also a scratch on the embroidered shoes.

Wei Hongmian was bullied all morning, but she didn't take it to heart at all. She was thinking about the things she had just received.

She didn't pay attention to what the mother and daughter said.

Wei Hongmian grabbed his daughter's arm and stopped her from leaving. "Don't go yet. I'll make some preserved meat later. It will be enough for you and the two children to eat on the way."

"..."

The Yao mother and daughter were completely ignored, and they stood aside feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, you are so precious, please move on!"

Xiao Wang immediately drove the man away.

Then she put a piece of cloth on the bamboo grate and placed the dough one by one on the grate.

"Now is not the time for you to curry favor with me! Who has ever been so humble in front of me before? How can you step on my face just because you have someone to back you up?

Let me tell you, the Wei family has collapsed, and you won't get any benefit from praising her!"

Yao said a lot of things, dragged her daughter away, and said, "Let's go and tell your father!"

"Sister-in-law, are you steaming buns? Not making pancakes?"

Wei Hongmian really didn't know what to say to Xiao Wang, so he could only make small talk.

"We need to make pancakes in a pot, and steam the steamed buns for the children to eat on the way. Steamed buns are softer than pancakes."

Xiao Wang added some more firewood to the stove. The firelight reflected on her face, making her look a little softer.

Wei Hongmian sighed in his heart that no matter how carefree a person is, there is always a soft spot in his heart.

"What are you going to do? Can you teach me?"

Xiao Wang had a look of anticipation on her face, and her whole impression was completely different from before.

"Sister-in-law also likes to study food?"

"That's right! It's a pity that I come from a poor family and can't get in touch with your noble family's recipes. If you're afraid that I'll learn from you secretly, I'll just leave."

Xiao Wang also felt a little disappointed.

She doesn't know how to embroider, so she can't rely on embroidery to supplement the family income like Bai Meidong does.

She studied food not for herself, but during the slack season she would make small cakes and sell them in town.

Xiao Wang is very talented in eating. She can learn any complicated steps after just watching them once.
