Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Lin Wanwan wanted to applaud, but Lin Dasheng kept silent with his head down.

The hunting team began to beat drums and gongs. Zhao Qiaoniang took out a rusty knife and said, "I'm going up the mountain with the hunting team today. You guys wait for me at home."

As soon as Zhao Qiaoniang walked into the crowd, the men laughed out loud: "Lin Dasheng, you have men in your family, why do you let women go up the mountain?"

Lin Dasheng coughed and said, "He's just clamoring to go up the mountain."

"Hey! Second sister-in-law, you just have nothing to do after eating. You are not like us who have no choice but to do it for a living." Lin Dafu's wife Wang Qiuju said.

There are also a few women in this hunting team, all of whom are under the charge of Wang Qiuju.

These women looked at Zhao Qiaoniang with disdain and said, "That's right. We won't take her up the mountain with her thin arms and legs. If she gets bumped, who will get hurt?"

"I'm not taking her with me. Why should I? When we find something, we'll have to share it with her!"

Some of these women were widows, and some were strong and healthy, unlike Zhao Qiaoniang, who would fall down at the slightest gust of wind.

Wang Qiuju looked at her disdainfully and said, "Second sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to take you, they just don't want to!"

Wang Qiuju was indeed unwilling to take Zhao Qiaoniang with her. These women all had some skills. She had learned hunting, and the others were as strong as men.

They had just shot two wild rabbits yesterday, and they exchanged the rabbits for food and hid them.

Wang Qiuju has two younger brothers and two younger sisters from her mother's family, and she always secretly sends food to her mother's family.

Naturally, these things could not be known by Zhao Qiaoniang, so she was deliberately not brought along.

The men teased:

"Dasheng, please let your wife go back!

Which woman is so public? It would be so embarrassing if it gets out to others!"

"Isn't that right? She'll go up the mountain with us, and we'll have to give her a share of the prey. Why?"

"This woman is so calculating! I'm afraid she did it on purpose?"

These people were unwilling to let Zhao Qiaoniang join them. Lin Dasheng frowned and said, "Qiaoniang, you should go back first!"

Zhao Qiaoniang turned around and left, too lazy to bother with these people. Lin Dasheng followed the hunting team to the mountains every day and could always find some food.

But all these foods will be given to Old Mrs. Lin. Lin Dasheng is biased, and she has no choice but to rely on herself to support her three children.

It was also the first time for Zhao Qiaoniang to go into the mountains alone. She was actually scared to death, but now that she was there, it was impossible to go back.

She looked around and walked in another direction. There were fewer people here, and two of them were from the same village.

They saw Zhao Qiaoniang smiled and she greeted them, "Mulan, Cuiya, you are here too?"

Mulan carried a basket on her back and said, "Yes! My husband died, and they thought I was unlucky and refused to take me with them. So I had no choice but to come out and dig wild vegetables by myself."

Cui Ya sighed and said:

“I am not even more upset, because my husband died before I even got married.

Now they all say that I am a disaster star, but he was clearly beaten to death, what does it have to do with me?

My family didn’t give me food or drink and kicked me out.”

Mulan and Cui Ya are both miserable people in the village. Mulan's husband is a sickly man. She finally gave birth to a daughter, but after all the troubles along the way, her husband is gone.

Her in-laws also disliked her, saying she was unlucky and kicked her out.

Cui Ya was supposed to get married this year. I heard that the man was from the town and his family ran a grocery store. But she went to Yihongyuan at night and offended someone she shouldn't have offended, and was beaten to death.

Zhao Qiaoniang said with a "puff":

“I’m not even more upset, three kids.

You all know that the prey that Lin Dasheng hunted in the mountains never belonged to our family. I had no choice but to go hunting in the mountains..."

Mulan also laughed:

"The three of us are quite pitiful. One of us didn't get married and her husband died. Another lost her husband, and the other one had a husband but it was as good as having no husband at all. We were all kicked out. We really share the same suffering!"

Cui Ya chuckled and said, "Isn't that right? We women have such a hard life."

As the three of them talked, their eyes turned red. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at them and said, "I just don't believe that we women are inferior to us. If they can do it, why can't we do it?"

Cui Ya nodded with tears in her eyes and said:

"Yes, we have to fight for our dignity. I don't believe in things like being a bad luck to one's husband or a bad omen.

Why should we women be blamed for their deaths?"

The three women became increasingly excited as they talked, and before they knew it, they had entered the deep mountains. When they discovered the place, they were stunned. Mulan said, "Oh my! It's pitch black! Where are we?"

Cui Ya curled her lips and said, "I don't know! I don't know the way either! What should we do?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked around and said, "Let's see if there's anything to eat first, and then we'll find our way back."

They went up the mountain at night and traveled during the day. Mulan and Cui Ya were very hungry. They hadn't eaten all day and their stomachs were rumbling.

Zhao Qiaoniang searched slowly with a torch, and suddenly said, "Oh! Look what this is? Gray vegetable..."

Mulan and Cui Ya rushed over and saw a large bunch of gray vegetables. They swallowed their saliva.

Zhao Qiaoniang hurriedly said, "What are you two still standing there for? Hurry up and dig!"

Mulan said embarrassedly, "Qiao Niang, you found this first."

They still knew the rules of entering the mountains. Whoever saw it first would own it.

"Why are there so many rules? There's so much, I can't finish it. Hurry up and dig." Zhao Qiaoniang said.

The three of them started digging. This was already deep in the mountains, so it was normal to occasionally see some wild vegetables.

After digging for half an hour, they finally finished digging up all the wild vegetables here, and the three of them were all smiling.

Cui Ya laughed and said, "This is just like a dream!"

Mulan said quickly, "We must hide these wild vegetables when we return. Otherwise, it will be disastrous if others find out."

Zhao Qiaoniang sighed and said, "These wild vegetables used to be fed to pigs, but now everyone is scrambling to eat them. I wonder when this drought will end?"

Just as she finished speaking, they heard some movement in the nearby woods. The three of them were startled. Mulan asked, "Did you hear any noise in the woods?"

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and said, "There was a sound, let's go over and take a look..."

Cui Ya's legs went weak: "Let's... let's not go over there! I heard from the old people that the forest is not clean. What if..."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Stop talking nonsense. Can ghosts be scarier than humans? Let's go up and take a look." Mulan was really brave.

Zhao Qiaoniang also rushed over with the rusty knife. After searching around, they heard Zhao Qiaoniang say, "Come and see! There's a trap here. It must have been dug here before..."
