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

Xie Jiaojiao went for a while and came back with a small box of ointment.

But Xie Zhiyi might be too tired and fell asleep.

Sun Ruhua was cooking while wiping her tears. When she saw Xie Jiaojiao, she hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve. She knew that her daughter didn't like her crying.

Xie Jiaojiao walked up to her and said, "Mom, you saw what happened today. Do you still have any attachment to that place?"

Sun Ruhua smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Xie Jiaojiao squatted down and took her hand: "Mom, you will live with me and Zhiyi from now on. I will work hard to make money and let you live a good life. Believe me."

Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao for a long time and finally nodded. Anyway, today, she had no hope for the two sons in the old house.

After the meal was ready, Xie Jiaojiao went to call Xie Zhiyi to get up.

Looking at the marks on Xie Zhiyi's face from being hit by the bamboo chopsticks, Sun Ruhua kept blaming herself and tried her best to pick up meat for Xie Zhiyi.

Children always forget unhappy things quickly. Now the pain in his body is not that bad. He smiled and said to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, you eat too!"

Sun Ruhua hummed and silently ate the rice porridge in her bowl.

The next day, Sun Ruhua got up early, prepared dinner for them and went out.

When he came back, he had one or two taels of silver in his hand.

"I've sold the pigs, too. Zhiyi won't have to go to the old house anymore."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded, and Sun Ruhua took out a piece of meat and bones from the backpack: "I went to the town mountain today and bought some meat. I bought white flour yesterday. Let's make dumplings for lunch!"

Xie Zhiyi danced with joy.

Sun Ruhua took one look and said: "Why are you still wearing this? Go put on the new clothes you bought yesterday, or you'll catch a cold."

Xie Zhiyi looked at Sun Ruhua and said, "Mom, didn't you say yesterday that you would wait until we dug up the sweet potatoes in the field before getting dressed?"

"Have it?"

Xie Jiaojiao wanted to laugh when she saw this, but she was happy when she saw Sun Ruhua's transformation.

"Mom told you to wear it today, so you should wear it today, otherwise you'd better be careful that mom will regret it!" Xie Jiaojiao said to Xie Zhiyi.

Xie Zhiyi immediately ran to put on the new clothes, and after changing, he ran out to ask Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua: "Do they look good?"

Both mother and daughter nodded.

"Our Zhiyi is so handsome that he looks good in anything he wears! Mom, don't you agree?"

Sun Ruhua smiled and nodded.

At noon, the family made dumplings. Thinking about how Niu Er and Aunt Wang helped to report the news and talk yesterday, Xie Jiaojiao said to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, let's send a few of these dumplings to Aunt Wang's house. If it weren't for her yesterday, we don't know what people would say about us."

Sun Ruhua nodded and said with emotion: "Give some, people should know how to be grateful."

Xie Jiaojiao filled half a basket with buns and carried the basket to the Wang family.

When she passed by the door of Xie's house, she saw Xie Qian and Xie Kun playing at the door. When they saw her, they immediately ran back into the house as if they had seen some evil spirit.

But he couldn't resist his curiosity, so he stood at the door and watched secretly. He saw Xie Jiaojiao gave the Wang family a lot of buns. The Wang family took out bowls to fill them and also gave Xie Jiaojiao several eggs.

As soon as they saw this, they all ran back into their houses.

Xie Qian also asked for some buns.

Chen Hongju patted him twice: "What are our conditions? You still want to eat buns!"

Xie Qian pointed outside: "Xie Jiaojiao and the others can eat it, why can't we eat it!"

"What did you say?"

Xie Qian pouted: "I saw Xie Jiaojiao delivering buns to the Wang family!"

After Chen Hongju heard what he said, she looked at Xie Zhishu and said, "It must have been bought with the money from selling the pig! Boss, that's one or two taels of silver!"

What can Xie Zhishu do?

"What's the point of you saying this!"

Chen Hongju refused to give in and pushed Xie Zhishu, muttering, "Yesterday I asked you to follow your uncle to bully Xie Zhiyi, now you've lost your pig and your share of the silver! What does Zhou Cuihong's pregnancy or miscarriage have to do with us?"

Xie Zhishu was annoyed by her nagging, so he took his pipe and went out.

Chen Hongju was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore. Xie Qian was still mumbling about wanting to eat buns. Chen Hongju yelled in a bad mood, "Eat, eat, eat, eat shit. If you want to eat so much, go ask that stinky girl Xie Jiaojiao for it!"

Seeing that his mother was angry, Xie Qian immediately stopped talking.

Xie Meng'er stepped forward and held Chen Hongju: "Mom, don't be angry, I will finish embroidering all the handkerchiefs soon, and then I will take them to the town with you to exchange for silver, and we can eat buns too."

Chen Hongju felt better after listening to Xie Meng'er's words, but she still felt sorry for the pig and the money. If she had known yesterday, she should have stopped the head of the household from getting involved in the affairs of the second house!

On the second side, Xie Kun also ran back and said that grandma and the others were having buns today.

"How do you know?" Zhou Cuihong asked.

"I saw my aunt send buns to the Wang family!"

"She's like that, and you still call her your aunt! Auntie what a joke! Next time you meet her, call her Xie Jiaojiao!" Xie Zhili cursed. Thinking about how Xie Jiaojiao beat him in the yard yesterday and made him lose face in front of so many people, he was furious!

Zhou Cuihong was afraid that this matter would be linked to her, so she shook her head at Xie Kun and asked him to stop talking.

Xie Kun leaned in Zhou Cuihong's arms and whispered, "Mom, I want to eat buns, too!"

Zhou Cuihong touched his face and asked to change the subject: "Does your face still hurt today?"

Xie Kun shook his head and the pain was gone when he woke up in the morning.

Zhou Cuihong looked at Xie Zhili again and said, "Dad, how come mom and her family are living such a good life now that they moved out? I heard from the villagers that they bought a pot some time ago, and they bought meat and made dumplings these past two days! White flour is so precious!"

Xie Zhili said unhappily, "Didn't Xie Zhiyi also get a share of the silver when the family was divided? And we gave mother some silver as a tribute in the beginning!"

Then he added: "Let's see how long they can get by. When the money is gone, they will have to suffer!"

Zhou Cuihong said nothing more.

Xie Jiaojiao took the eggs back, and Sun Ruhua took a look and said with a smile: "Your Aunt Wang just doesn't like to take advantage of others."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "That's right, let's cook this egg for Zhiyi to eat. If he eats this egg well, Zhiyi will grow taller in the future."

Xie Zhiyi said beside him: "There are so many, let's eat together."

Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua smiled at each other.

In the afternoon, Sun Ruhua took out the cloth she bought yesterday and started cutting it, thinking about making the clothes for everyone as soon as possible. Xie Jiaojiao went up the mountain to collect firewood. Winter was coming soon, and they needed to store up some firewood, otherwise when it snowed, the firewood on the mountain would not be burnt.

Xie Zhiyi wanted to follow Xie Jiaojiao, but Xie Jiaojiao directly sent him to play with Niu Er.

But to see Niu Er, he would pass by the old house of the Xie family. After what happened yesterday, Xie Zhiyi felt somewhat traumatized and was unwilling to go.

Xie Jiaojiao also noticed it, and then said: "Well, why don't you boil a pot of hot water for me, and when I finish getting the firewood, I can wash my hair and take a bath."

Xie Zhiyi nodded, patted his chest and said that he would take care of it!

When Sun Ruhua heard that Xie Jiaojiao wanted to wash her hair and take a bath, she immediately went to the backyard to fetch water. One advantage of this house was that there was a well in the backyard that had not dried up, so it was very convenient to fetch water.

Xie Jiaojiao ran many times in the afternoon. Fortunately, the original owner had a lot of stamina, otherwise she might not be able to get so many things back.

For several days in a row, Xie Jiaojiao was busy with only one thing, which was going up the mountain to chop wood, move wood, and split wood.

Seeing that she was tired, Sun Ruhua went to Aunt Wang and bought some eggs, giving one to each of the siblings every morning.

Xie Jiaojiao was busy for almost a week, and a row of firewood was neatly stacked under the eaves outside the kitchen door. Looking at the firewood, Xie Jiaojiao felt relieved that this winter would not be cold.

Sun Ruhua had also finished making the inner garments for everyone and had let the two siblings try them on.

Xie Zhiyi was the happiest: "Mom, this dress is so comfortable to wear!"

Sun Ruhua's face showed both happiness and sadness.

Before this, Xie Zhiyi had worn all his underwear from random finds, and he had never asked for anything, but still...

Xie Jiaojiao hugged her shoulders and said to Xie Zhiyi, "Let's buy new clothes from now on."

After saying that, he shook Sun Ruhua's shoulders and said, "Mom, don't you agree?"

Sun Ruhua's eyes turned red again, and she smiled and nodded and said yes.

After that, Sun Ruhua asked Xie Jiaojiao: "You just left the tofu like that? I think it's getting moldy!"
