When walking out of the main room, the hunter looked towards the kitchen again.

It was bustling inside, with the laughter of women and children coming from them, as if they were telling a joke, but no one came out.

"Brother Zhou, there's no need to see me off. I'm leaving now."

As the hunter spoke, he slowly walked into the vast snowfield.

Zhou Changjiang did not delay and directly closed the gate and walked into the house.

What he didn't know was that after he closed the gate, the hunter stopped and looked in the direction of their house several times.

After seeing that no one came out, the hunter walked back towards home, but the man's face kept appearing in his mind.

I didn't look at her carefully when we were on the mountain that day, but when I saw her again today, I found that she seemed a little different. When she saw him, she not only didn't pounce on him, but even avoided him from a distance.

The hunter recalled the man's beautiful face and his bright and charming eyes, but he no longer had the madness and desire he had when he saw him in the past.

She really seems different.

The arrival of the hunter was just a small episode for the Zhou family, far less important than making money, so they quickly put the matter behind them.

While eating, Bai Zhizhi took the opportunity to say that she wanted to try burning charcoal.

Although everyone felt confused, they didn't say much. They just told everyone to call if they needed help.

Bai Zhizhi naturally agreed.

Originally, she didn't have a complete idea herself and had to try everything over and over again. No one was willing to listen to her, so it was good enough that they helped her.

But the weather is not very good now, and I don’t know when the snow will stop. It is not a good time to burn charcoal.

Although she didn't remember it clearly, she knew that burning charcoal required a simple stove, or at least digging a hole or something. It was definitely not possible to do it at home, but if she wanted to go up the mountain, she could only wait for the weather to clear up.

Nothing can be rushed.

The day passed in everyone's busyness.

After everyone in the family had gone to bed, Mrs. Liu quietly took out a cloth bag, sat on the bed and began to count copper coins.

The family has been making money these days, and she has also received a lot of it. She doesn't know if it is enough for her two children to go to school.

Zhou Changjiang saw her happily counting the money, and suddenly remembered something, so he said, "Third brother's wife's money has been repaid, shouldn't you find time to return the money for the bear skin to your parents?"

"We have some money now, so it's not good to keep taking our parents' things. You should also be more careful and go there when the weather is clear. This will save people from saying bad things behind our backs."

Zhou Changjiang's idea was very simple. Their family was living a good life now. Although not too good, they were not as tight as before. Naturally, they could not take the old man's money and not give it to him.

If other people knew about this, they would probably poke them in the back.

It's really not good to ruin the relationship between two families for such a small amount of money.

Liu's expression became a little unnatural, and she even slowed down the counting of the money. "Why are you so anxious? It's not your parents' money. I'll give it to you when I want to."

Hearing his wife say this, Zhou Changjiang's face changed instantly. He looked at her insecurely, "How can you say such a thing? My parents' life is not easy either. We are not unable to afford food now. Why are you still greedy for that little thing?"

Liu's eyes rolled around and she said guiltily, "I've already paid it back, don't think too much."

Zhou Changjiang was so angry that he almost laughed. He raised his voice and glared at her, "You have been at home all these days. When did you go to pay it back?"

"Mom and dad, what's wrong?"

Zhou Ying, who hadn't woken up, rubbed her eyes and looked at the two of them puzzledly. "My brother and I are very obedient. Please stop arguing."

Looking at his daughter with red eyes, Zhou Changjiang slowly exhaled, "Dad and Mom didn't quarrel, Ying'er, go to sleep."

"Really?" Zhou Ying didn't quite believe it. Her father's voice was so loud, it was obvious that he was angry.

Liu also realized that she had gotten into trouble, so she quickly put on a smile and patted her daughter's head. "It's okay, it's okay. Mom and Dad were just talking, we weren't arguing. Go to sleep."
