On the other side, Aunt Jin scolded Mrs. Zhang, "You torture your daughter-in-law like this and ruin the reputation of our Danan Village. No girls will marry here in the future. I wonder if everyone will blame you!"

Marrying and having children will affect her family member Qiao Feng's future. If she does well, she might even be able to become the head of a village. But if she is affected by Mrs. Zhang's affairs, I wonder if she won't tear Mrs. Zhang's mouth off.

The others nodded when they heard this. Ding Er, who was known as a gangster in the village, said, "I was wondering why I couldn't get married. It turns out that you, Mrs. Zhang, have ruined the reputation of the village!"

Mrs. Zhang glared at him, "Bah! You can't get married even without me! You have nothing to eat and only a shabby thatched house, who would want to marry you?"

Ding Er patted his chest and said, "I have a lot of strength. After I marry my wife, I will definitely treat her well and will definitely not torture her like you do. Lin, if you don't want to divorce me, just marry me. I will definitely not torture you!"

Mrs. Zhang pointed at him and said, "Get out of here! You actually come to my house to ask for a wife!" Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she found a stick and hit Ding Er with it.

Of course, Ding Er couldn't just stand there and let her hit him, so he quickly ran away, saying as he ran, "What I said is true."

Mrs. Zhang: "Don't run! I'll beat you to death!"

Granny Yan: "My son is planning to get married soon. If my family can't find a wife because of Granny Zhang, I will tear Granny Zhang's mouth to pieces! Village chief, you should teach her a lesson. She is the only one in the village who ruins the reputation of the village."

Mrs. Zhang: "Bah, your son can't get married, isn't it because your son is not good enough?"

Granny Yan: "Your son can't do that!"

Qiao Feng: "Okay, stop arguing! Aunt Zhang, remember to buy some medicine for your wife and make some for her. If you continue to bully her and affect the atmosphere of the village, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Mrs. Zhang moved her mouth but didn't dare to say anything else.

When the doctor said the medicine would cost a dozen coins, Mrs. Zhang started to curse, "Why is it so expensive? You're such a spendthrift woman! I've never seen anyone get sick after being caught in the rain!"

However, under Qiao Feng's gaze, she still gave the money to the doctor, and then Zhang Daniu went to get the medicine from the doctor.

Another farce ended. When Lin Zhenniang woke up, she was still verbally attacked by Mrs. Zhang, but at least she could drink the medicine.

"Hurry up and get well, or everyone will accuse me of abusing you. I don't know what I abused you for. Did I give you food or water? Really."

Lin Zhenniang did not refute and endured it silently. The next day, Aunt Jin came over to take a look at her, mainly because she was afraid that Mrs. Zhang would pretend to obey her but actually disobey her.

"You do look much better today. Yesterday you looked as pale as a ghost. By the way, luckily Qiao Da and Qiao Er saw you lying on the ground when they went to the vegetable garden and sent someone to carry you back in time, otherwise you might have died."

Lin Zhenniang raised her head and said, "Was it Qiao Chao who carried me back? Thank him."

Aunt Jin: "When you get better, you can go and thank me in person."

"I see. Thank you, ma'am."

"You should have a good rest. I'm leaving now. Come to me if you have any questions."

"it is good."

At the Qiao family's side, Zhen Yue was cutting radish strips. After cutting, they could be dried in the sun and then pickled to make dried radish.

In addition to dried radish, I also made a small jar of pickled radish and added some chili peppers to it to stimulate the appetite.

The cowpeas behind the house can also be picked. Today, Qiao Chao and his team picked some and sent them to the county town.

While they were busy, Qiao Chao and Qiao Dashan came back from selling vegetables. They put the things they bought away and ate a little before Qiao Dashan went into the house. Qiao Chao sat under the eaves to rest, while little Achu was lying in a cart beside them.

Qiao Chao went to hug his son, and little Achu kept calling "Awa Awa" to him.

"Next time you go to the Song Mansion, ask them if they want pork. The two big fat pigs in the family should be ready to be slaughtered in a month or so." Zhen Yue said on the side.

Qiao Chao: "I'll ask next time I go, but who should I ask to kill the pig?"

"Go ask Dad."

Qiao Dashan just came out of the room, "What do you mean by killing a pig?"

Qiao Chao: "The pigs at home should be ready to be slaughtered in a month or so. Who should we look for then?" They had never thought that the two pigs at home could be raised so big. The meat on their lower abdomen looked like it was about to hang down to the ground. They just didn't know how it would taste.

Zhen said it should taste good, and he would see how delicious it is then.

Qiao Dashan: "When we slaughter a pig, we may have to set up a banquet and prepare a pig-killing meal. I will go to the village chief then." Killing a pig is a big event.

Zhen Yue: "Doesn't that mean we should invite the villagers to come in for dinner?"

Qiao Dashan: “That’s how it should be done.”

Zhen Yue frowned, "Do we have to invite every household? Are we just going to let them eat a pig like this?"

Qiao Dashan: "No need, just invite a few familiar ones."

Zhen Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, I don't want to treat Mrs. Zhang and Ma to a pig-killing dinner." Let alone a pig-killing dinner, she couldn't even treat them to a drop of rice.

Qiao Chao: "Then I'll go into the mountains to see if there are any more fish."

Zhen Yue: "The mountains are too far away. It will be cold there, even colder in the mountains. You can just go to the market to buy it." Money is earned to be spent, otherwise what is it for?

Qiao Chao nodded: "That's fine."

Qiao Chenshi: "Then I need someone to calculate the date."

Zhen Yue: ???

Qiao Chenshi: "It also depends on the day to slaughter the pig."

Zhen Yue: ...There is actually such a custom? But it doesn't matter.

The weather was getting colder and colder. It was okay during the day, but it was much colder at night. Zhen Yue's quilt was not thick enough. Every time, she would curl up in Qiao Chao's arms for some reason. The big man's body was much hotter.

Zhen Yue was a little embarrassed the first time, but got used to it after a few times.

But now she feels cold even under the quilt at night. Wouldn’t it be even colder when the real winter comes?

A few days later, Qiao Chao and Qiao Er were going to the county town again to deliver vegetables. This time they were delivering cowpeas, leeks, and two chickens. Zhen Yue said that she wanted to go too, as she was going to buy some things.

The chickens raised at home have grown up and are ready to be eaten. Zhen Yue took two of them to ask the Song family if they want them. If they taste good, Zhen Yue would think about raising more chickens in the future.

When they arrived at the county town, Zhen Yue did not follow Qiao Chao to the Song Mansion. She went to the cloth shop and said, "When you are better, just come to the cloth shop to find me."

"it is good."

Qiao Chao and Qiao Er soon arrived at the Song Mansion. The Song Mansion also accepted the chicken in Qiao Chao's hand. After all, Qiao Chao said, "These chickens are raised by eating vegetables from our family. Because they eat well, the meat tastes better than ordinary chickens."

Of course I want it when I hear it tastes good. I'll order two chickens and you'll know if it tastes good after trying it.

After delivering the vegetables to the Song Mansion, Qiao Da and Qiao Er went to deliver vegetables to several other households. After a while, they took the money to the cloth shop.

At this time, Zhen Yue was doing a lot of shopping in the cloth shop. She first bought a few pieces of cloth, which were linen and cotton, and were relatively cheap. She also bought a few kilograms of cotton. After bargaining, she had spent a total of two taels of silver.

Qiao Chao silently handed the money he had just earned today to Zhen Yue, and then helped carry the cloth and cotton onto the donkey cart.

Zhen Yue: "It's getting cold, we need to make some clothes and quilts. You should also chop more firewood these days, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the winter." It seems that it got cold early this year.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go to the mountains to chop firewood when I get back."

"Ah."
