Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Xiaoqiao knew that he was in a critical moment, but he ignored the lives of others and only escaped by himself. He would definitely suffer backlash after the incident.

But at that time, she had no idea that she had entered a bandit's den. She was just trying to find a good way out for herself, and she had no idea that once she got out, she would never have the chance to sneak back.

But no matter how much others despise and disdain to associate with her, her father died saving the Niu couple, and the Niu couple cannot just ignore her after saving their lives.

The Niu family couple had solemnly promised to take good care of her in front of their father's still wet body. How could they ignore her? No, absolutely not.

But Niu Tietou just had a cold face and scolded her harshly for being ruthless and abandoning everyone to escape. Unexpectedly, her luck was really good. She even managed to sneak into the secret cellar where the bandits hid their meat. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and ran into the cave where the bandits hid meat. She was frightened to death and fainted.

Xiaoqiao could hear the contempt and disdain in Niu Tietou's words. Her face turned green and she was very angry, but she didn't dare to say anything. She just kept begging him to let the Niu couple come to see her.

Unfortunately, Niu Tietou, who had no good impression of her, knew what she was planning. She wanted to trick her parents into coming so that she would have the opportunity to play the victim and gain sympathy.

Even though he was honest, he had been working as a waiter in the town for quite some time and had seen many different kinds of customers. Therefore, Xiaoqiao's eyes kept turning around and he kept talking about meeting the Niu family couple. There was no need to explain why, it was already self-evident.

It's a pity that she still thought that her little thoughts and small plans could be hidden from others.

As for the soft-hearted parents, after Lin Xiaoyue's advice, they no longer insisted on thinking that the grace of saving their lives was greater than anything else.

Just as the girl from the Lin family said, if Xiaoqiao had not fallen asleep that night and had been more alert, perhaps his father would not have lost his life. They were indeed grateful to Old Man Niu for saving their lives.

But since Xiaoqiao had been making trouble for no reason and stirring up trouble in the team, she was already disliked by everyone. Now that she was not abandoned in the forest, everyone was kind and pitying her. They also warned her to be quiet and eat when she had food, and that they would take her to the state capital after everyone left, which would be a repayment for Old Man Qiao's life-saving grace.

Niu Tietou's words deeply hurt Xiaoqiao, and her heart ached. No! She was unwilling to accept this. How could she accept such an ending?

Xiaoqiao wanted to argue, but Niu Tietou didn't want to waste his words on her and turned away. Xiaoqiao was so angry that she glared at Niu Tietou's back and howled at the top of her lungs, asking the Niu family to come and see her. She knew she was wrong, she really knew she was wrong.

Unfortunately, she waited and waited in the cellar for a long time, but the Niu couple never came to see her.

She closed her eyes in pain, her heart filled with overwhelming hatred.

She hated the Niu couple for treasonously saving her life; she hated the others for being so cold-blooded and taking advantage of her misfortune, and no one reached out to pull her out of the quagmire... She hated them so much, she wished they were all killed by the bandits, and that they would not die a horrible death.

What could she have done wrong? She just wanted to find a safe place to live, and she just didn't want to live a life of wandering and hunger. What could she have done wrong? The fault was not hers, but those who blocked her way.

Xiaoqiao ignored the food and didn't even touch it. He just curled up in the corner, muttering "I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong" over and over again. He was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul, and his eyes were dull.

It can be said that Xiaoqiao's current situation is all caused by her own actions. She has no one else to blame and can be said to have gotten what she wanted.

……

Nothing happened that night. When the sky brightened and the roosters crowed, everyone got up quickly to start their busy day.

This is going to be a busy day as we have five pigs to slaughter.

The men have knowledgeable hunters with the knife skills, so the women have nothing to do. But when the pigs are slaughtered, the work of preparing the raw meat will fall entirely on the women, so no one is idle.

Because they had to cook in several large pots at once, after breakfast the men gathered all the tools, built a stove and started a fire in a spacious place, and at once took the iron pots from several bandit families off the stove and moved them to one place.

In this way, the women in the family don't have to run around from one house to another. They can all gather in one field to fetch water, wash pots, prepare seasonings, jars, etc., and carry out their work according to the assembly line, so that everything can be done in an orderly manner and step by step.

Perhaps the pigs in the pigsty sensed that a disaster was coming, and they howled happily. The hunter brought the men in to catch them, but they could not prevent the pigs from escaping more happily and faster than each other.

Seeing that time was passing by, they had poured water in several pots, but the pig had not been caught yet. The village head and others all turned to Lin Xiaoyue for help.

Lin Xiaoyue: ...What sin have I committed? Can't you just let me watch and enjoy the pig-killing melon?

Everyone: No, let’s go. If we don’t go now, most of the day will be gone and it will be a waste of time.

Okay, Lin Xiaoyue poured the uncracked melon seeds in her hand into the hands of Lin Dahua, who was holding Xiaomaizi, and asked her to help take them first. She turned over and jumped into the pigpen, waved her hand to refuse the butcher knife handed to her by the hunter, swung her arms twice, and then rushed straight towards the five big fat pigs that were crowded on the other side of the pigpen, grunting at her threateningly and paddling their hooves.

Sure enough, with Lin Xiaoyue's powerful weapon in action, the five pigs were defeated in an instant, without even a chance to escape or cry out. They were knocked to the ground one by one with one punch, their eyes rolled back, waiting to be taken over by several men to deal with the follow-up matters.

[Author: Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Xiaoyue, you are going to develop into a female King Kong. I should have given you a strong and sturdy body. I gave you a thin and weak body... After all, it was a mistake...]

In just half an hour, the first pig had been cleaned out, its hair plucked off, taken out of the water, and even divided into several large pieces, and then handed over to the women and children for further processing.

The women were divided into two groups. One group, led by Aunt Dashan, led most of the women and children to make pickled pork that could be preserved for a long time. The other group, led by Aunt Niu, cut some fresh pork and made stir-fried kidney, braised pork, stir-fried liver, stewed pork belly, etc. The dishes were rich and better than the ones prepared during the Chinese New Year.

Almost all the female members of the family came on stage, waving big spoons and showing off their skills. Only the two little kids, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu, were left aside to watch Xiao Maizi. Oh no, there was also Lin Xiaoyue, the kitchen killer.
