I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"You're useless. Big sister said, if I run a few laps, you have to double it!" After saying that, Xiaohua ran away, leaving Shitou with only a stubborn back.

Shitou wiped the sweat off his face and forgot how many laps he had run. His legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't lift them at all!

"Shi Tou, lift your legs up and run!" Ji Xiaobei stood at the door with his hands behind his back, staring at the weak Shi Tou with a fierce look.

This posture is just like a mother training her students.

With the supervision of his elder sister, Shitou did not dare to be lazy at all and ran 14 laps solidly.

After running, he lay on the haystack like an old dog struggling to survive, gasping for breath.

"You're screwed, look at your lack of ability, Xiaohua is better than you!" After cursing, Ji Xiaobei returned to the yard.

Xiaohua made faces at her brother like a monkey.

If he hadn't been able to go to the county town today and was in a good mood, he would have definitely beaten his sister up.

In the room, Xiaoju packed the steamed bread for the two of them and put a piece of pickled cabbage in it.

After taking a shower, Shitou changed into his New Year's clothes, sat at the table in a good mood, and ate three more steamed buns. He was really hungry!

Lin turned away with a look of heartache and went back to her room.

After a while, she took out a handful of copper coins and said, "You two go to the county and get some money. Bei, if you can't find out about your father, come back quickly and don't cause any trouble!"

Ji Xiaobei drank half a bowl of black soup and nodded in agreement.

She took out the things from the cloth bag and said, "No need to take these, I just took a bag to put the things in."

The two men went out with the backpacks on their backs.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we waited for a while and then a donkey cart came over.

"Would you like a ride?" the donkey driver shouted.

"Sit down!" Ji Xiaobei responded loudly.

"Sister, let's not do this. We can take a bus from Cishui Town and save a penny each." Shitou said, pulling his sister's sleeve.

"I don't want to walk, you want to walk, you walk to town and then take the car!"

Shi Tou: I ran all morning and my legs are weak, so I don’t want to walk.

He followed his elder sister onto the donkey cart and paid six cents.

This is a direct donkey cart to the county, and the fare is three cents per person.

A donkey cart ride from the town to the county costs 2 cents per person.

Villagers usually walk to town and then take a donkey cart.

Some young men walked directly to the county town.

They were the only two people from Jijiawan on the bus. He didn’t know the rest of the people, so they were probably from neighboring villages.

The two maids were very fat and took up a lot of space. Ji Xiaobei twisted her body left and right while sitting, and the two maids reluctantly gave her some space.

I feel a little more relaxed.

The donkey is very thin, and the donkey driver is also thin.

After walking for a while, the donkey felt a little overwhelmed, its hind legs were shaking, and its pace slowed down.

"Boss, your donkey is no good. It's so thin, and yet it's still pulling a cart!" Ji Xiaobei said with a smile, life as a donkey is not easy.

The donkey driver said with a donkey-like face: "People are almost out of food, how can there be food for donkeys? Just sit down."

He didn't want to go out today because his donkey had been pulling at the mill for half the night, but he wanted to earn more money.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the village, I met two fat women. After walking for a while, I met this burly woman.

What bad luck!

Ji Xiaobei was not happy when he heard this: "Uncle Donkey, how can you say that? I didn't ride in your car for nothing. I paid for it!"

The skinny donkey seemed to understand that someone was standing up for him. He panted and sniffed restlessly at the grass on both sides of the road.

"Let's go quickly, it will be noon when we get to the county!" complained an old woman.

Ji Xiaobei is really stupid. He has spent money but is still wasting time. It is just a waste of time.

"Uncle Donkey, drive the donkey. The donkey is in a bad mood and is on strike!" Shi Tou followed.

"What's wrong with my donkey eating a few bites? Can't you have a little sympathy for such a skinny donkey?" said the old donkey uncle unhappily.

The grass here is really fresh. I won’t have to buy food for it when I go to the county town, he thought to himself.

"This donkey is really frustrating!" Ji Xiaobei said as he jumped off the donkey cart and walked towards the skinny donkey.

The skinny donkey snorted twice at her.

"Brother, let's go, okay? I know you were abused in your master's house, but your master took the money, so you have to work, understand?"

The skinny donkey made two "puff" sounds.

The two fat women smiled and whispered to each other as they looked at the man and the donkey.

I thought to myself: This woman is well dressed and looks good, but she’s a little on the puffy side.

You can't be a fool, talking to a donkey.

What Ji Xiaobei didn't know was that she had been dieting and practicing boxing at night, so her body became firmer and her facial features became more relaxed. People who didn't know her thought she looked pretty good when they saw her for the first time.

"Okay, Uncle Donkey, you drive it, I promise it will be obedient!" Ji Xiaobei smiled and looked very proud. Isn't that how it is played on TV?

Uncle Donkey laughed dryly twice and began to pull the donkey's reins, but the donkey didn't move.

The two old women burst into laughter, and Shitou couldn't help laughing too. However, when he saw the eldest sister's angry expression, he immediately stopped laughing.

Ji Xiaobei jumped off the carriage again, strode up to the skinny donkey, and without saying a word, slapped it three times.

The beaten donkey turned around twice on the spot, tears in its eyes.

Uncle Donkey was stunned. He looked at Ji Xiaobei, unable to figure out who the donkey's owner was.

"Uncle Donkey, try it again. This time it works." Ji Xiaobei clapped his hands and jumped into the car.

Uncle Donkey gently pulled the donkey's reins, and the little skinny donkey's four legs started to move quickly, and it began to run with a clattering sound, completely different from before.

The two old women looked horrified and silently moved away from Ji Xiaobei.

Uncle Donkey was a little angry. She was a little girl and she actually taught his donkey a lesson. He was as angry as if his own child was beaten in front of him.

“Why did you hit my donkey?”

“Because it won’t leave!”

"My donkey, it goes when it wants to go, and it won't go when it doesn't want to go!"

"It doesn't matter whose donkey it is. Why don't you sell it to me!" Ji Xiaobei said provocatively.

"Hmph, can you afford it?"

"As long as you sell, I can buy it!"

"Ten taels of silver!"

"You are robbing me. Your skinny donkey can be blown down by a gust of wind. You will get sick from pulling such a heavy load when you get home. Do you believe it?" Ji Xiaobei said.

"Why are you, a donkey driver, bullying a woman?" said a woman.

"I bullied her, but she bullied me. She beat my donkey!" Uncle Donkey was furious.

"So if I buy it, it would be like me beating my donkey! Unfortunately, your price is too high. How about five taels of silver?" Ji Xiaobei argued.

"impossible!"

"If you don't want to sell it, forget it. After peeling the skin, there's only a few pounds of meat left. It doesn't have the strength to pull a cart. What's the point of having it? You have to feed it. If it gets sick, you have to treat it. It's just a burden to buy it back."
