The wife of two taels of silver

As her belly grew bigger, Lin Haitang found it increasingly difficult to do housework. Simple chores were ok, but she could only carry half a bucket of water now.

As the months went by, it had to be admitted that Lin Haitang's resistance was getting less and less.

A few days later, Lin Haitang received a reply from Gu An.

When Lin Haitang held the letter in his hand, he felt incredible.

Gu An, the Gu An who always had a sullen face towards his original body, the Gu An who seemed as if everyone owed him eight million, the Gu An who didn't pay much attention to his own children, would he write back?

There's nothing good written, right?

Lin Haitang opened the envelope puzzled.

The first thing that caught my eye was a large silver note worth one hundred taels.

Lin Haitang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly looked through the book and stuffed it tightly back into her arms.

Now Lin Haitang became even more curious about the content of the letter.

What the hell is going on? He can just send the money back, and it's so much.

The more he looked down, the weirder Lin Haitang's expression became.

Is Gu An so easy to talk to? Yeah, since he doesn't like Lin Haitang anyway, whether Lin Haitang gives birth to this child or not won't affect him much.

Just like Gu An said, if he gave birth to the child, he would have the money to raise it anyway. If he didn't give birth to the child, it would save other people the trouble.

"What's the use? I have to give birth to the child now, whether I want to or not." Lin Haitang cursed, and she couldn't understand why she couldn't get rid of the child.

Lin Haitang didn't expect that Liu Shuyun would be so talkative and tell all his affairs to Gu An.

Touching the banknotes in her arms, Lin Haitang smiled happily again.

This man is still useful, as he knows how to send money home.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan had not yet gone to school, so Lin Haitang did not restrict them and just asked them to write two big characters and left them alone. The two children were very sensible and did not run out to play. Instead, they carried small backpacks and went up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

Xiaobai also went with them. Its main job was to protect the safety of its two little masters.

"Oh, Momo and Lanlan are so great." Lin Haitang looked at the mushrooms in the basket and shook their little hands.

"How about Mommy make chicken stewed with mushrooms for you today?" Lin Haitang asked.

"Is it delicious? Lanlan has never eaten it before." Gu Zhilan asked with blinking eyes.

Gu Mo originally liked eating chicken, and he trusted Lin Haitang's cooking skills very much. He said, "Mom's cooking must be delicious."

"Okay, then Mom will stew chicken for you for lunch today." Lin Haitang took the two children to wash their hands and said, "Momo Lanlan, Dad has replied to your letter."

"Really?" Gu Zhilan clapped her hands happily, and water splashed on her face. "I want to see it, I want to see it!"

Gu Mo didn't say anything, but just looked at Lin Haitang with sparkling eyes.

"Okay, wash your hands quickly. After washing your hands, I'll take you to read the letter." Lin Haitang urged.

The two children immediately washed their hands obediently, and then went into the house to sit upright, waiting for Lin Haitang to read the letter to them.

"Here, take a look." Since the two children didn't know so many words, Lin Haitang gave them the letter directly.

"Mom, what did Dad write?" Gu Mo raised his head and looked at his mother expectantly.

A child's admiration for his father is naturally engraved in his genes, and so is his dependence on his mother.

Lin Haitang touched Gu Mo's head and said, "Your father said that he misses you very much and hopes that you all take good care of yourselves."

"Did Dad say when he would be back?" Gu Zhilan asked anxiously.

Lin Haitang shook her head and explained to Gu Zhilan, "Lanlan, your father said he doesn't know when he will be back. He's fighting in the war, and when the war is over, he'll be back and he won't leave again."

"Mom, what is war?" Gu Mo asked.

"Well, it's a war," Lin Haitang explained as simply as possible: "War is to protect our country. Now there are bad guys bullying our family, and your father has to go and beat the bad guys away. This is war."

Gu Mo clenched his fists and said, "Those people are so bad. They bully us."

"Yes, they are so bad! Lanlan will beat them too!" Gu Zhilan was also very angry. If it weren't for these bad guys, her father would not have been away from home for so long.

"Mom, then my dad is a hero, right?" Gu Mo looked at Lin Haitang and asked.

Lin Haitang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, your father is a hero. Everyone who defends the country is a hero."

After coaxing the child, Lin Haitang started cooking.

Lin Haitang called the two children to come over and catch chickens.

There are five chickens and five ducks at home now, all of which were bought by Lin Haitang at the market in Hua'an County.

The reason I bought so many is for food. If I only let the chickens and ducks lay eggs, then two chickens and two ducks would be enough, so the other six were bought for food.

One of the chickens was quite docile and was caught in no time.

Lin Haitang tied the chicken's legs, boiled a pot of hot water, prepared a large basin, fixed the chicken's neck, and bled the chicken with a knife.

The chicken claw twitched twice and then stopped moving.

After bleeding, put the chicken in hot water to make it easier to pluck the feathers.

When plucking the hair, it smelled very fishy. Lin Haitang covered her nose with several layers of cloth and also put two mint leaves in the cloth.

Mint leaves are picked in the space.

After bleeding and plucking the hair, the rest is much easier.

Pour oil into the pot, stir-fry the onion, ginger and garlic, then add some spices and fry the ingredients thoroughly until fragrant. Then put the blanched chicken pieces into the pot, stir-fry a few times, add water and stew.

It would be better to stew it with beer, but if you don’t have beer, you can add a little bit of white wine.

When it's almost cooked, add the mushrooms.

The aroma of the chicken stewed with mushrooms was so overbearing that it spread far and wide. It seemed that half of Shang'anhe Village could smell it. The neighbors near Lin Haitang's home felt that they couldn't live like this.

Because of Lin Haitang's behavior, eating meat every other day, many people said she was a spendthrift, and when they smelled the delicious food, they drooled. However, they only grumbled about it behind her back, and no one dared to speak to Lin Haitang in person.

There is more than one person who wants to go to Lin Haitang's house for dinner, and Lin Jiafu is one of them.

Lin Jiafu, the original body's adopted brother.

Lin Jiafu met a bunch of bad friends in the county town. He just pretended to be a rich man and treated people to meals all day long. Recently, he fell in love with a prostitute in a brothel and stayed there all day long.

All my money was gone and I couldn't afford a penny, so I thought about going back home.

Lin Jiafu hadn't thought of his sister at first, but when he heard people talking about her on the road and saying that their family ate meat every day, he thought of going over to see her.

Before he even got there, he smelled a fragrance that drew his soul out.

Lin Jiafu hadn't had a decent meal for a long time. In order to stay in the brothel for one more night, he would hide and secretly eat steamed buns.

Now smelling the meat, Lin Jiafu could hardly walk. He started knocking on the door: "Sister, sister!"

Lin Haitang came out and saw that it was Lin Jiafu. She frowned and said, "It's you. What's the matter?"

Seeing Lin Haitang open the door, he squeezed in without caring whether Lin Haitang let him move or not, and said boldly: "Sister, what do you want to eat? It smells so good. I haven't eaten yet, let's eat together."

Lin Haitang quickly grabbed him, pulled him out, closed the door, and said, "I'm no longer your sister. If you want to eat, go back to your own home. You have no place here."

"Hey, Lin Haitang, open the door! You're so rebellious! I'm Lin Jiafu, your younger brother!" Lin Jiafu slammed the door and threatened, "Just wait, I'll get Mom to beat you up."

Lin Haitang rolled her eyes, ignored him, and went to the kitchen to see if the chicken was cooked.

Lin Haitang picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. It was very good. She started to shout, "Momo, Lanlan, Xiaobai, it's time to eat."

The three little guys who were playing games in the house rushed over.

Lin Haitang also plucked a handful of coriander from the space and sprinkled it on the chicken, which was simply perfect.

In addition to chicken soup, there are also large steamed buns, which are soft and delicious and go great with chicken.

The three little guys were eating so much that they couldn't even lift their heads, and the corners of their mouths were greasy.

"Mom, was it my uncle who came just now?" Gu Mo swallowed a mouthful of chicken and finally spoke.

Lin Haitang took a sip of chicken soup, her eyes narrowed, and she said, "He's not your uncle. Remember, Mom has nothing to do with them anymore."

"Mom, Lanlan didn't like her ex-uncle. He said he wanted to sell me for money." Gu Zhilan was still a little scared when she spoke.

Hearing this, Lin Haitang suddenly became alert and said to Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan, "Stay away from him from now on, do you hear me?"

The two children nodded obediently.

Lin Haitang then instructed Xiaobai, saying, "Xiaobai, from now on, wherever the little master goes, you go with him. If you see anyone who wants to bully them, bite them directly and bite them to death."

Xiaobai is growing very fast. In just over half a month, he has grown much bigger than before.

“Ouch—”

Xiaobai raised his head and called out in response to Lin Haitang.

It is confirmed that Xiaobai is really a wolf.

There were three people and a little wolf. Their bellies were so full after eating that no one wanted to move and they just lay down on the chairs.

"Haitang, my son."

There was another knock on the door.

Lin Haitang was annoyed to death. She knew who the voice was as soon as she heard it. It was her original mother, Wu Cailing.

This time, Lin Haitang didn't even open the door. She said, "I'm not your son. You've got the wrong person."

"Haitang, no matter what, you are my daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. How can you talk to your mother like this?" Wu Cailing pretended to be gentle.

"I've severed ties with you. Do you want me to take out the letter of severance and read it to you?" Lin Haitang was puzzled. Why did so many villains come to her house today? "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Wu Cailing was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She had to ask her for something, so she could only say nice things: "Haitang, even if we break off relations, you still have my blood in your veins. I can't even eat. Can you cut off some food for me?"

After all, it’s all about this bowl of chicken.

This is someone coming to beg for food.

Lin Haitang sneered: "Go away, the chicken is all gone, there's not even any soup left."

"Then give me some money." Wu Cailing lost her temper and said, "You're rebelling, you bastard! I'm your mother!"

"Give me the money quickly, or I won't leave." After saying that, Wu Cailing sat down at the door.

"Then you sit down." Lin Haitang said indifferently.

"You bastard, you're still pretending. You should be thankful that I gave birth to you. I should have strangled you to death back then." Wu Cailing cursed.

Hearing these words, Lin Haitang felt uncomfortable.

It's not worth it for the original body.

"You have to give me five taels of silver every year!" Wu Cailing shouted.

It’s five taels of silver per year, and Lin Haitang feels sick just thinking about it.

Even though she didn't hear any movement in the yard, Wu Cailing continued to cry: "Oh my good daughter~"

"I didn't even give her mother anything to eat..."

"She won't even let her mother into the house~"

She screamed as loud as she could and cried like she was at a funeral. Even an Oscar-winning actress couldn't imitate her.

It was just meal time, and many people came out with their bowls in hand to watch the fun.

Someone asked, "Jia Fu Niang, what's wrong with you?"

"It's my daughter's fault. She raised an ungrateful guy." Someone asked, and Wu Cailing cried even harder.

The others curled their lips in disgust.

Everyone in this village knows that Lin Haitang has severed ties with your family. Now she's starting to cry.

Lin Haitang was thinking about how to drive away the old witch at the door.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a large basin of chicken blood in the yard.

nice one.

Lin Haitang picked it up, opened the door, and shouted, "Uncles and aunts, please stay away."

Hearing these words, the onlookers subconsciously took a few steps back.

Just as I was wondering, I saw a basin of chicken blood poured out.

It splashed on Wu Cailing.

Everyone cried out and quickly looked down to see if there was anything on them. Some people were still holding bowls!

Fortunately, no, it all splashed on Wu Cailing.

"what!"

Wu Cailing screamed and scratched her face with both hands.

"Don't you want to eat chicken? There's no chicken meat left, but there are enough chicken blood vessels." Lin Haitang laughed happily, poured the chicken blood, and closed the door.

I don't care about this old witch.

Wu Cailing cursed and ran back home.

Lin Haitang became famous in another battle.
