Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

She fetched a bucket of water and washed the crab. In the process, she was inevitably pinched by the crab. Xie Jiaojiao was so angry that she wanted to slap the crab twice.

Finally, they found some straw rope and tied up the crab, and the crab finally behaved itself.

Xie Zhiyi watched her series of operations and asked Xie Jiaojiao uncertainly: "Sister, can this really be eaten?"

"You'll find out later."

Xie Jiaojiao found another piece of ginger, put it under the crab, and put it directly into the pot to steam.

Sun Ruhua said she was wasting firewood, but Xie Jiaojiao just said, "You won't feel that way when you have something to eat later!"

Sun Ruhua just smiled and shook her head, then lowered her head and continued to do her work.

Xie Jiaojiao pulled her and said, "Mom, stop doing it. It's getting dark."

"I have to make it quickly. The weather is getting colder. If I don't make it soon, Zhiyi will freeze!"

Xie Zhiyi lowered his head and looked at the straw sandals on his feet in the light of the fire. There were already frostbite on his little feet.

Of course Xie Jiaojiao saw it too.

Since Xie Zhiyi was born, he has been picking up clothes, pants and shoes of Xie Qian and Xie Kun.

Xie Qian couldn't wear it anymore, so he gave it to Xie Kun first. When Xie Kun couldn't wear it anymore, it was Xie Zhiyi's turn. All of Xie Zhiyi's clothes and pants were full of patches, and he wore straw sandals all year round, except in winter. After all, there was really nothing he could do in winter.

Xie Jiaojiao touched Xie Zhiyi's head with some distress: "When I make money, the first thing I will do is buy our Zhiyi a new set of clothes."

Xie Zhiyi looked at Xie Jiaojiao and smiled: "Sister, I don't care about those, as long as I can wear it."

Sun Ruhua looked at the two sensible children, and for a moment, she felt very happy: "Tomorrow, Mom will have these shoes ready, and Zhiyi will have new shoes to wear."

"Yeah!" Xie Zhiyi nodded heavily.

Xie Jiaojiao calculated the time and the crabs were cooked.

"Mom, do we have soy sauce at home?"

Sun Ruhuo hurriedly shook his head: "Soy sauce is such a precious thing. Our family is so poor, how can we have it?"

Xie Jiaojiao was a little disappointed, but it didn't matter. The crab was salty to begin with, and the soy sauce was just added to make it taste less fishy.

Xie Jiaojiao opened the lid of the pot, took out the crabs, and taught Sun Ruhua and Xie Zhiyi how to eat them by the light of the fire.

Sun Ruhua finds it troublesome.

Xie Jiaojiao said: "Mom, crabs are just a shell on the outside, but there is meat inside!"

When she heard it was meat, Sun Ruhua learned to eat it.

Xie Zhiyi is young and can learn things quickly.

"Sister, this is really delicious, but there is not enough meat!"

Xie Jiaojiao said: "If you feel that there is not enough meat, let's eat more and there will be more meat."

Xie Zhiyi nodded.

"Why does this thing taste salty!" Sun Ruhua said as she ate.

Xie Jiaojiao didn’t know how to explain, so she didn’t explain.

After eating the first one, I want to eat the second one.

Xie Zhiyi said, "Sister, can I send two to Brother Niu?"

Xie Jiaojiao looked at the sky and said, "Forget it, don't send me off. It's getting dark now. There will be another chance next time."

After eating the crabs, everyone was very satisfied, especially Sun Ruhua, who ate a little more and felt a little embarrassed.

“I never thought this thing could be eaten.”

Xie Jiaojiao scooped a bowl of water from the pot for each person. She had put a lot of ginger in the water before. Although the mountain crabs are not as cold as sea crabs, they are also cold. Drinking a bowl of ginger soup can dilute the coldness.

The family of three gathered around the stove, feeling satisfied and warm.

Sun Ruhua said, "I will go dig up some yellow mud from the ground tomorrow and rebuild a stove."

"Mom, I'll help you."

In the darkness, Sun Ruhua touched Xie Zhiyi's head lovingly.

Xie Jiaojiao went to bed early that night, after all, she had been busy all day.

In the second room next door, Zhou Cuihong asked Xie Zhili: "What did mother and sister-in-law eat tonight? From a distance, they seemed to be eating very happily."

Xie Zhili turned over and said, "Why do you care what they eat? It has nothing to do with us!"

Zhou Cuihong pouted and hit him, then he turned over and went to sleep.

At night, Xie Jiaojiao had a dream, as if she had dreamed about her past life.

In the dream, she was killed by Wu Dashan in this room.

The soul floats in the air for a long time without leaving.

She saw her father die of anger when he saw her body, and she also saw her mother became sick because of anger. However, the first and second wives acted as if nothing happened and extorted two pieces of fertile land from Wu Dashan and let the matter go.

Then the family split up, and no one wanted to support Sun Ruhua, a burden. In the end, the youngest son, Xie Zhiyi, stood up and said, "If you don't support mom, I will!"

But how old is he? Sun Ruhua sees that her two older sons despise her so much, and Xie Zhiyi is so young. How can he support himself if he can't even support himself?

I'm sick too, and if I continue like this I'll just be a burden to him.

So that night she swallowed the rat poison at home and followed her husband!

As soon as Sun Ruhua arrived, Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili drove Xie Zhiyi out.

Poor Xie Zhiyi, he begged for food along the way in this area and froze to death in the town that winter.

Someone in the village saw it and asked Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili to collect the body, but they thought it was unlucky and didn't go!

Xie Jiaojiao watched the original owner floating in the air guarding Xie Zhiyi's body for a long time, until a kind-hearted person dragged Xie Zhiyi's body and found a place to bury him. Then she left. After leaving, Xie Jiaojiao watched her float to a City God Temple outside the town. She knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, muttering something, kneeling from winter to spring, and from spring to winter. The Bodhisattva in the City God Temple seemed to come alive and walked down from the altar. Finally, a ray of light flashed, and Xie Jiaojiao felt it was dazzling. She woke up with a frown.

It was just daybreak and the room felt as if it was shrouded in fog. Xie Jiaojiao reached out and touched her cheek, only to find that it was covered in tears.

What does this dream mean?

Was he telling her why she came here? Or was it because the original owner had some grudge in her heart and wanted her to avenge her?

Xie Jiaojiao didn't understand, but when she thought about the tragic ending of Sun Ruhua and Xie Zhiyi in her dream, and then thought about the actions of the first and second wives, she felt angry!

Xie Jiaojiao said to herself: "Don't worry, go. I will take good care of mother and Zhiyi for you!"

After she said this, she found that the anger in her heart seemed to have eased a lot.

The room suddenly became much brighter, and sunlight even shone through the crack in the door.

Xie Jiaojiao thought this was incredible, and then Xie Zhiyi's voice rang out from outside the door: "Sister, are you up? It's time to eat!"

Xie Jiaojiao immediately replied: "Yes, I'm here. I'll be there soon."
