Wang Qiuju whispered, "He went to see Zhao Qiaoniang and the others yesterday..."

"What? Why did he go to see that woman?"

Wang Qiuju quickly covered her cousin's mouth and said, "Because those people have food and cloth!"

The cousin's wife looked at Wang Qiuju and asked, "How did you know?"

Wang Qiuju frowned and said:

"Tomorrow I'm going to town to sell game, and I'll run into them coming out of the cloth shop, carrying bundles.

I tentatively asked the guy inside, and he said that these women bought several pairs of cloth shoes and a lot of cloth and cotton at once.

Just think about it, how much does this cost?"

My cousin's wife frowned and said, "You mean they got rich? Hey! I really don't understand, how did these women become rich?"

Wang Qiuju shook her head and said, "I don't know. I saw them go into the mountains. Maybe they got something good there."

My cousin's wife's eyes lit up: "Where did Wang Baochuan die? Do you think he went to a brothel?"

"I'm not sure about that. Dafu and I will go look for it later, shall we?"

But after searching all night, they still couldn't find him. Wang Qiuju became anxious: "Dafu, what do you think we should do? Could Zhao Qiaoniang have killed him?"

Lin Dafu laughed heartily and said:

"Don't you know what your second brother and sister-in-law are like?

She's a tough-mouthed person with a soft heart. When she first came to our house, she didn't even dare to kill a chicken."

"That's true..." Wang Qiuju said, "Then why can't my cousin find it?"

"Maybe they got lost in the mountains! Isn't that normal? Don't worry, there are more than a dozen of them, what can happen?" Lin Dafu ate and drank his fill, touched his stomach and said, "I'm going out for a walk!"

Wang Qiuju snorted coldly and said, "He's not your brother, but you don't care..."

She looked at Lin Dasheng and said, "Second brother, why don't you go and ask?"

Lin Dasheng coughed and said, "That's not good, right?"

"What's wrong with that? She is still your wife after all. Just go and ask her. I don't believe she has caused any trouble." Old Mrs. Lin said.

Lin Dasheng actually came to ask: "Qiao Niang, just... Wang Qiuju asked me to ask, where is Wang Baochuan? Have you seen him?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and said, "Lin Dasheng, do you have any brains? Wang Baochuan is missing, and you come looking for me. Am I his mother or his father?"

Lin Wanwan yelled “Ahhhhh” several times. Her mother’s eloquence was getting better and better. It was great, so great. She would argue as much as possible.

Lin Dasheng stammered, "It was Wang Qiuju who asked me to ask. She said they followed you out of the city."

"I don't know. I can't care so much. I have a hard time living every day. What other people do is none of my business." Zhao Qiaoniang ignored him.

Lin Dasheng was at a loss and said, "I know you've had a hard time, but why don't you go back when I ask you to?"

"You're happy to lose your own daughter, live a hard life, and work like a slave for the Lin family?

Hey! You Lin family members are really more calculating than each other." Zhao Qiaoniang cursed directly.

She had saved face for Lin Dasheng before, but from Zheng Xiuxiu, she also understood that it was impossible to reason with these men. Only by beating them into submission would they be afraid.

"What did I plot against you? Zhao Qiaoniang, you are becoming more and more ignorant."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and smiled: "Yes, yes, you are the most sensible. Now you pull the cart for Sun Mei and her children every day. How can you not be sensible?"

Sun Yao got Sun Mei a flatbed cart, which held a lot of things.

Sun Mei and her children were sitting on a flatbed cart. Someone had to pull it, right?

Lin Dachang couldn't lift anything, so he certainly couldn't do such hard work. Lin Dafu naturally couldn't go into the mountains to hunt either.

Lin Dasheng is different, this job is his now.

Lin Dasheng said coldly:

"Zhao Qiaoniang, you're meddling too much. Do you even want to get involved in something like this? Shouldn't family members help each other?

Do you think you would be happy if someone as selfish as you caused unrest in your family?"

Zhao Qiaoniang was too lazy to pay attention to him. Mulan sneered:

"Go away. Since you think we are too nosy, then don't come and ask questions if you have anything to ask.

What does Wang Baochuan's matter have to do with us? Why should we meddle in other people's affairs?"

“You women are so unreasonable. Everyone in the village says you are orphans and widows, and you will definitely not survive.

I hope you can continue to be tough in the future. I want to see if you will come to me for help when you are out of food." Lin Dasheng was full of grievances. He originally wanted to talk to Zhao Qiaoniang in a nice way, but she was like she had eaten chili peppers.

He was so depressed that he went straight to find Lin Chong. Lin Chong was also feeling bad, and his son Xiao Beike kept crying.

Lin Chong's mother frowned and said, "Cry, cry, cry, he's been crying all night long. It's so annoying. Why didn't I find this brat so annoying before?"

Lin Chong coughed and said, "Mother, he might be hungry..."

"I'm hungry again. I just ate two mouthfuls of rice porridge. Where can we get so much food at home?" Lin Chong's mother was unhappy.

Lin Chong frowned and asked, "How do you usually feed Zheng Xiuxiu?"

"How would I know? Anyway, she only has a bowl of wild vegetable porridge every day, so you can feed her however she wants." Lin Chong's mother said as a matter of course.

One adult and two children only have one bowl of wild vegetable porridge every day. How can they be full?

Zheng Xiuxiu hardly eats anything and gives all the food she saves to her two children.

Lin Dasheng sighed and said:

"Brother, we are in the same boat. I never thought Zhao Qiaoniang was such a person. Isn't she just a little girl?

Other families in the village also have it. Lin Laosan's family just sold their daughter yesterday and got 500 coins, plus two bags of grain!"

Lin Chong's mother stood up and asked, "What? How much did it sell for?"

Lin Dasheng coughed and said:

"500 coins, plus two bags of grain. Lin Lao San's daughter is quite pretty, I want to take her home as a concubine!

She was favored by the wife of a wealthy family."

"What the hell? A little girl was sold for 500 coins and two bags of grain. Oh my! I feel so bad!" Lin Chong's mother cursed, "If it weren't for that shameless Zheng Xiuxiu, our family could have gotten two bags of grain too!"

Lin Chong also swallowed his saliva and said, "Do you still need... more people?"

Lin Dasheng shook his head and said:

“She was spotted by the lady yesterday while she was walking around town.

That evening, the lady sent someone to her house, negotiated a price, and took her away. I was not far away at the time and happened to see it all."

Lin Chong slapped his thigh in a sissy way:

"Such a good opportunity was missed. If we had a girl, I would sell her too.

This little fish is not doing well. If it were valuable, I would sell it, but it’s a pity that it won’t fetch a high price.”
