Quickly wear it with your skills

Lan Hanlu sneered at everyone. "You're either here to settle scores or to cheer them on. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wronged Lou Xiao, you didn't say a word."

But when you accepted Lou Xiao's protection, you were completely honest. So, did you pay protection money, or did you give Lou Xiao a share of the spoils?

Then she turned around and saw Lou Xiao standing behind her. "Be more careful in the future. Not everyone knows how to be grateful. When something happens, you can tell who is close to you and who is not."

She was pointing at the village chief. Normally, it seemed that the relationship between the two families was pretty good, but if something really happened, he would still side with his own village and clan.

Lou Xiao nodded with a smile on his face when she said this. "Got it. I'll listen to you from now on." He felt that Lan Hanlu was like a shining star at this moment.

That angry little look is so charming that it makes one's heart flutter. The way he holds his head high, as if looking down on everything and everyone, makes one want to get close to him but dare not offend him.

"That's enough. Don't be so concerned about this and that, as if we have so much meat that we can't finish it all." She was very satisfied with Lou Xiao's cooperation.

After saying this, Lan Hanlu turned around and looked at everyone again, "Alright, now that the matter has been resolved, let's all go. From now on, if you want to go, don't come looking for my Lou Xiao anymore. He can't bear such a heavy responsibility."

After hearing these words, those with a conscience felt embarrassed and left, while those without conscience were still muttering and cursing.

When the Zhao family saw the people leaving, they quickly surrounded them. "How's it going, Lulu, did those people hurt you?" Originally, their two families lived close together, so they should have arrived first.

But the one who was injured last time was Zhao Dazhuang. His injury was not serious and he had to lie in bed for a few days to recuperate. Aunt Zhao was a little angry and was also lying in bed sickly.

The second and third sons of the family came back and said that a group of people from the village surrounded the Lou family and asked them for an explanation. The Zhao family members ran away.

Lan Hanlu would never let people with good intentions feel cold. "Aunt Zhao is fine. What happened to you? You even asked my sister-in-law to support you."

"Oh, it's not that Dazhuang is injured, I just have a headache because of a little heat." She shook her head slightly to show that she didn't care.

"Then hurry back and rest. It's terribly cold out here, don't catch a cold again." After saying this, Lan Hanlu turned back to look at Lou Xiao and said, "Go pick up a few eggs for Aunt Zhao to take back to nourish both Brother Dazhuang and Aunt Zhao."

Lou Xiao nodded and turned to go to the yard. In fact, there were not many eggs at home, but there were still quite a few in Lan Hanlu's space grid.

After Lou Xiao came out, he was holding a basket covered with a piece of cloth. He handed the things directly to Zhao Laosan.

Zhao Laosan quickly waved his hands and turned to look at his mother. "Lulu, what are you doing with these? Eggs are so valuable right now, take them back and eat them yourself. Your brother Dazhuang and I are just doing this for a small matter, we'll just take care of it."

"Auntie, why are you being so polite to me? Just take it. You're the one who stood up and spoke for us today. Even the second and third brothers are standing here to support us."

When Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Lao San heard this, they chuckled and scratched their heads. At the age of twelve or thirteen, they were very concerned about their reputation. Their mother always scolded them, but this time they were praised by Lou Ge's wife, so they were happy.

"Auntie, please go back quickly. It's too cold. I'll get sick if you stay any longer." Lan Hanlu took the basket, stuffed it into the hands of the two half-grown children, turned around and walked into the yard.

It's time to make lunch. She can't punish herself for other people's mistakes. If she doesn't want to die young, she needs to take good care of herself.

But how come she felt so happy and at peace now after such a rage just now?

When Lan Hanlu was cooking, she opened the cupboard and found eggs neatly arranged inside. She quickly lowered her head to look at the person who was lighting the fire.

After all, he knew there were only about eleven or twelve eggs left at home. She counted them carefully again and found eight left. This meant Lou Xiao had taken at most four.

Lou Xiao, who had just started the fire, saw her counting eggs. "I saw there were only 12 eggs left. I thought you like eggs, so I gave them four. I also cut some of the meat you braised earlier for them."

Lan Hanlu nodded, lowered her head and smiled at him. "Then I have to thank my husband for thinking of me. It's so cold now and the chickens won't lay eggs. I won't be able to eat them anymore."

Lou Xiao didn't reply, but lowered his head and smiled.

The next day, Lou Xiao planned to go up the mountain by himself. He thought no one would come to look for him, but when he opened the door, he saw two boys squatting at the door.

They also heard Lou Xiao open the door and quickly stood up. Zhao Laosan sniffed with his sleeve. "Hehe."

"Hey hey hey."

"Hey, what's the matter? Tell me now." Lou Xiao's face was stern and scary, and the two boys quickly stood at attention.

The brave Zhao Laosan quickly said, "We two want to follow Brother Lou up the mountain to hunt."

Lou Xiao frowned as he looked at the two people. "You two are here? Do Aunt Zhao and the others know?"

When he asked this, the two children lowered their heads again.

"Alright, hurry back. You all know how dangerous it is to go hunting in the mountains. Your eldest brother is still lying in bed!"

Hearing him say that, the two of them became anxious. "Brother Lou, I don't need to tell my mother, we can make the decision ourselves."

"Oh, really? What can you do? Say it again for me." A sinister voice sounded.

The two brothers reflexively jumped two steps away, but Aunt Zhao was obviously prepared for this and swung the wooden stick in her hand left and right.

"You two are trying to piss me off to death! Your eldest brother is still lying in bed, and you two are just looking for trouble."

He smoked as he spoke, and the two guys ran home in a flash. Lou Xiao shook his head, carrying the quiver on his back, and walked straight up the mountain.

He met a few people along the way, but he didn't want to deal with them, so he went straight into the mountains.

Animals are the most sensitive to their environment. Lou Xiao had long felt that there were no animals outside, while there were large animals inside, so most people didn't dare to enter.

But Lou Xiao is different. He thinks it is easy for him to escape if he cannot win, the main thing is that he cannot have anyone hold him back.

Winter passed quickly, and Lou Xiao's family had a good stockpile of furs, dried meat, and bacon, among other things. Spring was a time for animals to breed and thrive, so it was not suitable to go hunting in the mountains.

Lou Xiao was at home packing up her farm tools, as she would be plowing the fields in a couple of days. Lan Hanlu was mainly packing up her winter embroidery. She had embroidered two large pieces, and the rest were small screens, handkerchiefs, and the like.

She remembered that there would be a heavy rain after the spring, but after this rain there would be a real drought. There were two drizzles throughout the summer, which wet the ground.
