Divorced woman with child travels through time

Ma Tieniu asked, "Did you find anything valuable?"

Wang Mazi took out a package and said, "Here's a package of clothes, they're pretty new, they should be quite valuable."

Ma Tieniu glanced at it and actually knew it was valuable. Wang Mazi wasn't too stupid, though. He brandished his knife again and asked Chen Wenfang, "Where did you get this? You can't afford clothes like this? Hand over everything else, or my knife won't be just for show."

Chen Wenfang looked at it and saw that it was the package that Madam Ouyang had given her. She carefully said, "These are old clothes that Madam Ouyang's young master wore. She likes my son, so she gave him some old clothes."

Ma Tieniu asked carefully, "Then won't I give you money for your clothes?"

Chen Wenfang lowered her head and whispered, "I gave you five taels of silver, which I shredded and put in the money pouch I gave you." Fortunately, Chen Xuanyu kept the silver lock close to his body.

Ma Tieniu scoffed, "Tch, such a stingy rich family." He picked up the bag of clothes and slung it over his shoulder. "Let's go!" he said.

Wang Mazi didn't move, but said to Ma Tieniu with a grin, "Brother, you, you give me, give me the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, okay? You know what I mean, please, brother." Wang Mazi looked at Chen Wenfang with a lecherous gaze.

Ma Tieniu glanced at Chen Wenfang, looking down on Wang Mazi's womanizing ways. Seeing Wang Mazi's pleading expression, he gave him another disdainful look and said, "Alright, I'll have a cup of tea outside. Hurry up, in case someone really comes and causes trouble." He then prepared to leave.

Wang Mazi, his eyes gleaming with excitement, walked over to Chen Wenfang. He thought to himself, "This woman has such big breasts, it must be really enjoyable to have sex with her."

Chen Wenfang was frantic. What should she do? She knew she couldn't beat those two. In a flash, she had a sudden inspiration and urinated. The urine flowed down her pants and onto the floor, leaving a noticeable stain on her light gray pants. In addition, the kang (a heated brick bed) in the inner room had been heated the night before, making the room quite warm and the smell of urine particularly strong.

"What's that smell? Hmm..." Ma Tieniu was very sensitive, sniffing the air like a dog. Wang Mazi was stunned; what was going on?

Chen Wenfang said shamefully, "It was me, I, I accidentally peed..."

"Ew~~~" Ma Tieniu looked at Chen Wenfang with disgust, as if she were something unclean. "You, you, what's wrong with you, woman?"

Chen Wenfang said in a low voice with shame, "I had a difficult labor. I heard that the midwife put her hand in and pulled the baby out. It's been like this ever since I was in confinement. It can't be cured. When you scared me with the knife just now, I couldn't hold it in and I peed."

Wang Mazi had never encountered such a situation before, and looking at Ma Tieniu with some confusion, he asked, "Brother, can I still go on? Will there be any problems?"

Ma Tieniu said knowingly, "Don't mess with this kind of woman. It's pointless. She's sick and loose. What would you do if you did? You'll just end up getting sick and unable to get better. It's pointless. Let's go."

Wang Mazi was reluctant to leave. Ma Tieniu persuaded him, "I'll give you some silver later. How about we go to town and find a young woman who's sixteen or seventeen years younger? She's already had children. It's not fun." Seeing this, Wang Mazi reluctantly said, "Alright then, alright, let's go." As he walked, he looked back at Chen Wenfang.

Ma Tieniu then instructed Wang Mazi to go to the kitchen and get another bag of grain, so he wouldn't go back empty-handed. Wang Mazi went to get a bag of cornmeal. The two of them then left with the money and two bags of grain.

After confirming that both of them had left, Chen Wenfang quickly closed the courtyard gate, went back inside and closed the door, then collapsed onto the ground, terrified.

In the woods behind the mountain, Wang Erniu led his four children to hunt rabbits. After shooting three rabbits, Wang Erniu felt there wasn't enough meat; it probably wouldn't be enough for so many people. He decided to hunt a larger animal. Turning around, he spotted a medium-sized wild boar not far away, weighing about a hundred pounds. It was probably just an adult and alone, otherwise it wouldn't have come to such an outskirts. Wang Erniu instructed the three children to watch out for the smaller ones, picked up a stone, and threw it at the boar. The boar, in pain, ran deeper into the woods. Wang Erniu chased after it into the woods, not daring to go too far. After about half an acre, Wang Erniu began to shoot it.

The wild boar was very cunning, weaving in and out of its path. Wang Erniu followed cautiously behind, calmly and methodically finishing it off with arrows. The boar, dragging its wounded body, finally lost its way and accidentally fell into a pit. Wang Erniu jumped in, finished it off with two more stabs, and killed the boar.

Wang Erniu tossed the wild boar back to the ground, then climbed out and looked around. He noticed that the path to town wasn't too far, and there was even a small path there. Without thinking too much about it, he picked up the boar and started walking back. As he walked, Wang Erniu turned and took the path to town. The path was more frequently used and easier to walk on. Then, Wang Erniu noticed an inconspicuous gray cloth tied to a tree along the path. Upon closer inspection, he saw a red dot drawn in vermilion on it. He suddenly realized it was a robbery mark left by bandits. There were only a few houses nearby; who could they rob? Damn it, it must be Chen Niangzi. She's alone with her child; she's the easiest target. Chen Niangzi is in danger! Wang Erniu, carrying the boar, ran as fast as he could.

Fortunately, the wild boar hadn't gone far, and they arrived at their destination quickly. Chu Yi and Luo Xiaohei were playing with a rabbit whose front paw was injured. It was a white wild rabbit that had been caught in a trap. The other three little ones were surrounding another gray rabbit that wasn't injured. It had been tied up with a rope by Wang Erniu and was specially given to them to play with. The three little ones touched it here and there, and even fed it wild grass. Unfortunately, the little rabbits didn't eat much, and Chen Xuanyu was trying his best to persuade it.

"Hurry up, let's go back." Wang Erniu didn't reveal anything, after all, the children didn't understand much, and he didn't want to scare them. Upon seeing the wild boar on Wang Erniu's back, the children didn't even have time to cheer before being frightened by Wang Erniu's slightly serious tone. They obediently packed their things and went home.

Chu Yi, being sensible, put the rabbit into a cloth bag and then reached for the rope in Chen Xuanyu's hand. Chen Xuanyu said, "I'll walk with it myself." Chu Yi said, "It runs too slowly. Put it in the bag, and you can play with it when we get home." "Okay," Chen Xuanyu was also a reasonable child, so Chu Yi put it into the cloth bag as well. Another dead rabbit was hung around Chu Yi's waist.

Wang Erniu walked briskly ahead, and the children jogged after him. They soon arrived at their doorstep.

Chen Wenfang sat in the room for a while, then got up, dusted herself off, and rummaged through the closet for a pair of cotton trousers, changing into them. Thinking about it, the smell was still strong, so she took a broom, filled it with wood ash, and swept the floor. The smell finally lessened a bit. Chen Wenfang climbed back onto the kang (heated brick bed), opened the window, and a blast of cold air made her shiver. "It's so cold!" she thought. "Why am I so unlucky?" Losing all interest in sewing, Chen Wenfang sat by the window, lost in thought.
