Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

The fourth sister stood in front of Zhou Dazhu. She heard from a distance that these people were planning to take the chickens at home. It was the fourth sister who fed these chickens and ducks on weekdays. How could she bear to let the chickens and ducks she had raised with great effort be caught by these people?

"Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Deng, the chickens raised in this yard were bought by my mother from merchants outside the Great Wall. They are different from the chickens we have here. My mother said they are called broiler chickens, and they are bigger than the chickens here.

This chicken is so precious, even the eggs it lays are bigger than the eggs we have here. Don't try to take our chickens, and I will never let you take them away."

Looking at the three big men standing in front of him, Xiao Lao Si's voice was trembling, but he could not let these people take the chicken away no matter what.

The third sister stood in front of the fourth sister. Fearing that her younger sister would be hurt, the third and fourth sister went out early in the morning. They didn't know what happened later. When they came back after picking wild mushrooms and black truffles, they saw a lot of people gathered outside the house. The sisters came around from behind the house and heard Zhou Dazhu and others planning to take the chickens at home.

These chickens are usually looked after by the fourth brother, and they ran out excitedly after hearing it.

The other sisters in the vegetable garden also saw the third and fourth sisters. Taohua told the younger sisters in the vegetable garden, "Don't come over here. I'll go over and take a look."

After saying that, he ran towards the third and fourth brothers and protected them.

"If you have anything to say, wait until my mother comes back. If you break in, what's the difference between you and bandits?"

Ma Ergun was an unreasonable man. He just wanted to return the things and leave, but he didn't expect that the widow's chickens were so well raised. Now he changed his mind and wanted to exchange the chickens for those kilograms of milk fruit.

"If your mother can't provide food, we can go in and catch your chickens. If Widow Yang doesn't come back, we can break in. Otherwise, if she doesn't come back, we can't keep waiting outside."

When Taohua heard that these people were actually trying to break in, she shouted, "Why don't you wait for my mother to come back? How do you know she can't come up with rice?"

Deng Defa interrupted, "You're deceiving everyone. Your mother ran away to hide, and after everyone left, she quietly came back."

"Your mother killed your father. You were kicked out of the house for being unfilial to your mother-in-law. You wanted to extort food from your husband's family, so you tricked everyone into exchanging milk fruit and fern for it."

"What a bad woman! Don't feel sorry for her. She just plays pitiful to gain sympathy."

"Let's rush in and divide up the food in her house and the chickens and ducks in the yard, just to teach her a lesson."

……

Faced with the insults directed at her mother by these three people, Taohua could no longer bear it, but after all, she was only a child who had just turned twelve years old and was being treated as an adult here.

She angrily yelled at the others, "You're talking nonsense! Dad wasn't killed by Mom, and Mom wasn't pretending to be pitiful. She wasn't lying. She's the best mom in the world. I don't allow you to say that about her!"

How could Ma Ergun take a girl seriously? While Taohua was talking, he had already picked up a piece of wood and was ready to hit the door.

"You're just a girl, so naturally you're surrounding your mother. Didn't you eat the fern and milk fruit she tricked you into giving her?"

Taohua wanted to say no. Ever since their mother took them out of the family, they had never eaten wild vegetable porridge, let alone milk fruit. Their mother gave them rice, eggs, and meat.

But she couldn't say it because she had to protect her mother.

The third and fourth brothers lowered their heads and said nothing.

During this period of time, my mother gave them all the best food. If I tell them this, not only will they not believe it, they might even give her a bad reputation.

The food at Murakami's house is the best even in town.

"You little girls, stop talking nonsense here!"

Ma Ergun shouted and tried to bang on the door with his hands holding the tree stump.

The village chief frowned and was about to speak out to stop him when he saw the second girl from Xiuying's family standing behind Ma Ergun, holding a bamboo basket in one hand and holding the tree stump that Ma Ergun had lifted with great effort in the other hand.

"Uncle Ma, what are you doing?"

"you……"

Ma Ergun looked back at the little girl behind him. No matter how hard he tried, the tree stump didn't move at all. He was breathing heavily and looking at the onlookers. He couldn't let anyone know that he was not as strong as a little girl.

"I see you're out of firewood, so I brought it to you."

Shi Liu deftly pulled the stump out of Ma Ergun's arms and placed it heavily on the side of the gate.

"Thank you, Uncle Ma."

A few little radish heads looked at the pomegranate with tears in their eyes and ran over

"Second sister!"

"Second sister!"

If the second brother had not arrived in time, the door would have been kicked open by Ma Ergun, and the food, chickens and ducks in the house would have been taken away by these people.

The old village chief looked at Ma Ergun gravely and said, "Let's wait until Xiuying comes back to discuss this matter. Breaking down doors and stealing things is no different from being a bandit!"

The villagers who followed him had long been fed up with Ma Ergun's behavior.

"Ma Ergun, you are already in your forties, why are you still bullying a few children?"

"You only have a few pounds of milk fruit, and you want Xiuying to exchange it for the chickens in the yard. I think you are trying to take advantage of us."

"Yeah, you're exchanging rotten food for other people's precious things. That's what you can come up with."

"I see you planned this a long time ago, didn't you?"

Ma Ergun felt guilty. At first, he just wanted to give it a try to see if the rice exchange plan was true. Later, Zhou Dazhui found him and said that Yang Xiuying had no rice at all. He just joined in the fun, until he saw the chickens and ducks in the yard, and then he had some bad ideas.

To ease the embarrassment of being seen through by the villagers, Ma Ergun pointed at the heavy bamboo basket containing the pomegranates and asked in a pretentious manner, "Hey, what's in this? Isn't it rice?"

Ma Ergun knew that there was no way the bamboo basket could contain rice. If it contained rice, it would all leak out. Besides, Yang Xiuying's family couldn't produce any rice. He said that just to distract everyone's attention.

Sure enough, everyone's eyes turned to the bamboo basket in Shi Liu's hand. The basket was covered with a layer of wild vegetables, and a dark red substance could be vaguely seen underneath. It was somewhat similar to a red stone and was covered with mud.

"Hey, what is this? How can it be rice?" Ma Ergun's daughter Ma Caifeng took a glance and said, "Dad, this doesn't look like rice at all."

Ma Caifeng looked at the stone-like things in the pomegranate bamboo basket and complained a little. When did his father's eyesight become so bad? He made her happy for nothing.

Ma Ergun glared at his daughter fiercely and cursed in his heart,

This idiot, she only has good eyesight.
