Xu Wenyan was looking at He Xianhua from a distance, and her little thoughts were clearly written on her face.

"Aunt." Chen Sanlin stopped what he was doing and looked at He Xianhua.

"Hey, I heard that you caught something good, so I just came to take a look, haha." He Xianhua said with a smile, his eyes staring at the hind leg from time to time.

Such a big deer leg would have to sell for a lot of money. At this point, He Xianhua was already thinking about how to buy another cotton coat for her baby son.

Chen Sanlin also thought about whether he should cut some meat for his only relative. When he was a child, his Chen family was poor and relied on help from people in the village. His mother often brought food back from her parents' home to support the family.

Almost everyone in the village was given at least a bowl of rice, so Chen Sanlin did not argue with those people when dividing the prey.

"Oh, then, aunt, please take a good look at it." Xu Wenyan walked towards the kitchen with an empty bowl, and when he said this he looked at the words with extra attention.

He Xianhua frowned at first, then immediately realized something: "You are the son of that old liar, the little liar."

"Hehe, yes. I am the liar." Xu Wenyan walked into the kitchen confidently, and Chen Sanlin moved aside to make some space for him.

He Xianhua had never expected this. She had wanted to scold this sickly guy, but she didn't expect him to admit it. He Xianhua rolled her eyes at Xu Wenyan, then looked at Chen Sanlin enthusiastically: "Sanlin, can you give me some of these ribs? Your nephew is still young and needs some meat to nourish his body."

"Okay, aunt, how much do you want to cut?" Xu Wenyan took the knife from Chen Sanlin and gestured at the ribs.

He Xianhua's attitude suddenly changed 360 degrees. She didn't care what kind of person Chen Sanlin married, as long as she could take advantage of him. She thought he was a mean man, but she didn't expect him to be so generous: "Just cut half a piece for me."

Xu Wenyan cursed in his heart, "How shameless of you to ask for half a piece of meat when you open your mouth. I might as well give you the whole thing." After complaining, he gestured with a knife, "Can you cut it from here?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" He Xianhua was now really smiling like a flower.

"Then please give me the money first, aunt. I weigh it and it's about six pounds. I'll give you a family price of three hundred coins." Xu Wenyan looked at He Xianhua happily, looking forward to the next performance.

"How many?"

He Xianhua's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "With three hundred coins, I can weigh more than ten kilograms of pork. Are you trying to steal it?"

Xu Wenyan rolled up his sleeves and spoke to He Xianhua again: "Aunt, you can't count it like this, this is venison, how can a deer be counted as a pig?

This deer is eaten by the rich people in town, it is not like the pig that we all eat, you have to make up your mind before I cut it." As Xu Wenyan said this, he used more force in his knife hand.

"Wait a minute, I didn't say I wanted to buy it. We are family. You just came and asked me for money?" He Xianhua felt guilty. She just wanted to take a piece of meat. Why did he ask for money? He wanted 300 coins, but she couldn't afford it. "Sanlin, speak up. This is your home."

Xu Wenyan also turned his gaze towards Chen Sanlin. He could see that He Xianhua had no good intentions. If he hadn't persuaded her, she might have really taken away a whole piece of pork ribs. But now that the spearhead was pointed at Chen Sanlin, he was really just an outsider.

As for what decision Chen Sanlin makes, it is none of his business. As long as he sells the pair of deer antlers, this winter will still be over.

"Aunt, you see, I just got married and my family has no money. I have to sell the meat, otherwise my wife, Xiaohua and Xiaodong and I won't be able to survive the winter." Chen Sanlin also looked embarrassed. If he was the only one in the past, he would have given the money. But it is different now. There are four people in the family now, and it is difficult to support them.

Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin and thought, he doesn't talk much usually, but he is really good at playing the victim. However, what Chen Sanlin said is indeed a problem. It is not easy to support two grown men in a family of four, and his illness is not easy to treat.

He Xianhua didn't say anything else. Now that things had come to this, if she had to put it more bluntly, it would be robbing people of their life-saving food. In this age of eating one meal and starving one meal, robbing food was no different from killing people.

"Oh, Sanlin, why did you pick these poisonous mushrooms?" Only then did He Xianhua notice the colorful mushrooms in the wooden basin.

Chen Sanlin turned his head and found that there was indeed a pot of mushrooms.

"I picked this." Xu Wenyan said casually.

Looking at the mushrooms and then at Xu Wenyan's skinny appearance, He Xianhua snorted, "Why do you want to poison your husband right after you got married? You vicious woman...man."

"Yes, I'm going to give it to you as well. Since you're here, just pack some before you leave." Xu Wenyan said as he went to pick up the pot of mushrooms.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything from the Chen family today, He Xianhua walked out of the yard with Zhou Rong, cursing.

There were two men left in the small kitchen. Xu Wenyan looked up and saw Chen Sanlin looking at him in astonishment, so he thought of what he had just said about poisoning him: "Well, don't think too much about it. This thing is edible. At worst, I can eat it myself."

After explaining a few words, Xu Wenyan went back to the house.

Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan's departing back again. He didn't know why this man would quickly escape after helping him every time. Although what he said was obviously not good, Chen Sanlin felt a little warm in his heart.

From childhood to adulthood, only his mother cared about him.

Daddy likes his brother.

All the good things in the house were used by his brother first. He still remembered that during the drought when he was a child, if his mother had not tried her best to stop him, Chen Sanlin would have been sent away by his father to be a son of a family with two girls. He was sold for only 500 Wen, much less than what he sold Xu Wenyan for.

It was also because of this that he didn't like talking since he was a child. He knew that others wanted to take advantage of him, but these people were kind to his family, even though most of the food was eaten by his brother.

To be honest, Chen Sanlin didn't actually like Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong. They were his brother's children. They had clearly suffered at home all their lives, and in the end they still had to help their brother raise his children.

But he really couldn't abandon those two little kids.

Now that he has such a strong-willed person speaking for him, his heart still feels warm.

When A Niang left, she asked him to treat his wife well... Although something went wrong, this person is still his wife.

After returning to the inner room, Xu Wenyan felt more and more that his body was unreasonably weak.

"Ah!" he shouted to encourage himself.

Lying on the bed, Xu Wenyan decided to do a hundred or eighty push-ups to warm up.

"Fuck." He held up half the bed but couldn't get up.

Next, contestant Xu Wenyan will perform a talent show, Butterfly Flapping its Wings.

......

After struggling for a few minutes, Xu Wenyan was exhausted: "Damn... cough cough, this is the first time I feel that doing push-ups can be so difficult, it's really terrible, cough cough."

Don’t move, don’t move. If Xu Wenyan moves again, he feels that the original body will be exhausted to death.

Generally speaking, you will sweat a little to detoxify.

Xu Wenyan felt a little sleepy as he fell on the bed.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but Chen Xiaohua woke him up: "Uncle, it's time to eat."

Xu Wenyan slowly got up with sleepy eyes: "Uncle?"

"Uncle asked us to call you that." Chen Xiaohua explained with a blush.

"Okay, it sounds much better than aunt." It's actually just a few steps from the inner room to the living room. Although it's called a living room, it's actually not much bigger than the inner room. There's only a table and a bench.

This bench is also needed by Chen Sanlin when he slaughters prey.

Chen Sanlin and Chen Dong were already sitting at the table. The two children were drooling at the sight of the meat on the plate. The food they ate since they moved to their uncle’s house was so delicious that it seemed like they were celebrating New Year every day.

In the past, we could only eat a small piece of meat during the Chinese New Year.

Xu Wenyan sat down next to Chen Sanlin, frowning as he looked at the large and small pieces of black meat on the plate.

It seemed that Xu Wenyan had made a great decision and picked up a piece with chopsticks. As for the taste... it was really not good. The first piece of meat was very salty, and the second piece of meat had no saltiness at all.

Xu Wenyan patted Chen Sanlin on the shoulder and said, "You did a great job. Don't do it next time."

Chen Sanlin: “…”

Xu Wenyan could cook for herself when she was five years old. I can’t say how delicious the food was, but at least it was cooked well and had an even taste and was edible. Chen Sanlin is already nineteen years old, but his cooking level is so poor.

Unlike Xu Wenyan, the brother and sister carefully added a mouthful of meat, chewed it in their mouths for a long time before swallowing it, and then they just focused on eating and didn't dare to pick up any more. Xu Wenyan could understand. After two days of observation, this small village was very poor. It was good enough to have salt to eat, and they didn't care much about the dishes, as long as they were full.

Xu Wenyan also accepted his fate. He didn't care about anything else as long as he was full. He picked up a few pieces of meat for the two little guys, and the rest went to Chen Sanlin. Being so tall, he must eat a lot.

"Thank you, uncle." The brother and sister thanked Xu Wenyan together.

Chen Sanlin: “…” It was obviously him who cooked!

There was no other activity after dinner, so Chen Xiaohua took the initiative to take over the task of washing dishes.

While washing up, Xu Wenyan thought of a fatal problem. He hadn't brushed his teeth for two days. He rinsed his mouth when he woke up in the morning, but his mouth still felt uncomfortable.

"Xiaohua, flower."

Chen Xiaohua trotted over again: "What's wrong? Uncle."

"How do you brush your teeth at home?" Although the question was a bit strange, Xu Wenyan couldn't stand the taste in his mouth after all.

"Just rinse your mouth or use salt, but salt is expensive and I can't afford it."

Xu Wenyan nodded. He saw some bones in the small cabinet in the inner room, which could be used to make a toothbrush.

Let’s rinse our mouth first today.

Let’s talk tomorrow.

After washing up, Xu Wenyan went back to her room to sleep.
