He counted the basket on his back, and it seemed that there were also many pine mushrooms weighing five catties. Five catties of wet ones, if he left two or three flowers to try cultivating, he might be able to make one catty of dry ones from the rest. A pound of dried meat could be worth a lot of money in modern times, but here?
Taking a deep breath, Shi Chuxue quickly headed home.
As soon as she returned home, she saw Xia Hanzhi standing at the door. When he saw her, he heaved a sigh of relief, but then turned around and left with a dark expression.
Shi Chuxue, who was filled with excitement, even though she was starving, she still rushed over excitedly.
"Hanzhi, I found this good thing on the mountain today. If it's made well, it can be dried and exchanged for some medicine and silver.”
The man, who was originally cold and hard, slowed down when he heard her words. He turned around and looked at her with uncertainty." You went up the hill for so long just to find money to treat my leg?”
Shi Chuxue nodded." That's right, didn't I say that your leg needs treatment? We have to think of a way to earn this money." If you continue to be so bad, you'll really end up with broken legs and arms. In the future, you'll just stay at home and watch others jump around. It'll be so uncomfortable.”
Xia Hanzhi clenched his fists secretly, and his expression softened." You must be hungry. Let's go eat."”
"It would have been better if you didn't say it. I'm really starving now.”
However, after entering the house, he received a cold snort from Xia Hongxia. There was not a single bit of food in the kitchen. He had thought that the family had just finished cooking.
However, when she saw the rice grains and some vegetables that had obviously been poured out of the swill bucket, she fell silent.
"A new daughter-in-law is already restless on the second day of marriage and is seducing wild men outside…Everyone, come and judge. Is there still any family law?”
Next door, Liu-shi's sharp voice rang out, making Shi Chuxue frown.
This was like a flower!
"She's still a sister-in-law. Pei, such a piece of trash. I was wondering why she would commit suicide before she got married. So she was thinking about another man.”
Shi Chuxue's heart turned cold. So Liu-shi was scolding her. In the room next door, the Xia family's three-year-old daughter asked in confusion," Mother, my grandma is scolding again!”
Xia Chenshi bit off the end of the thread and stroked her daughter's head." Nan Nan is nagging like a grandmother. We don't pay attention to her.”
"Oh." The little girl replied obediently and looked at her brother who was sleeping soundly. Little Brother was only half a year old. He looked soft and cute.
In another corner room, the Xia family's second daughter was also huddled in the room. The two girls were four years old and the younger was only two years old. Listening to Madam Liu's scolding, they kept shrinking towards their mother. The little one was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes." Mother, Mother, is our nanny scolding you again?"”Mother was always scolded because she had given birth to such good-for-nothings.
Madame Lee sighed and shook her head sadly." I'm not cursing. It's your Fourth Aunt's fault. I made you angry."”Xia Xingxing, who had been keeping her head down and not saying a word, raised her hand and gently patted her back to comfort her little sister." Don't be afraid. There's still Sister."”After saying that, he looked up at his soft mother with a numb expression on his face.
The two-year-old Xiao Xia Cao had tears in her eyes.”With her sister around, she was not afraid.
In the kitchen, Shi Chuxue stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. She had never thought that someone would accuse her of cheating on a man just because she had just married into the family and wanted to go up the mountain. If this was true, her life would be ruined.
Just as he was thinking about it, the front of his eyes darkened. She looked up and met the man's dark eyes. Xia Hanzhi bent down to look at the disappointed little lady. His eyes softened a little, and his tone was gentle and comforting." Someone saw you going into the mountains. They said they saw you with Shi Tou. In this village, men and women walking alone would easily cause misunderstandings. Those women gossiped and said some rumors in front of mother…"
So it was like this.
Shi Chuxue looked at him uneasily and explained in a small voice," Because…I don't understand this place, and I only wanted to find a way to make a living, so I went deep into the forest and a wolf rushed out…"
Xia Hanzhi's pupils constricted. He pulled her over and examined her." Are you alright?"”
He pulled up her clothes and examined her carefully from top to bottom.
The man's calloused hand touched her tender skin and it tickled.
Shi Chuxue smiled lightly and avoided him. "Don't, it's fine. He was just scared out of his wits. If it wasn't for the appearance of a hunting man, ah, I forgot to ask what his name was!”In order to avoid the man's big hand, she subconsciously rubbed against the man's body like she was twisting candy. The man's eyes changed again.
Hearing her say this, Xia Hanzhi completely understood. The so-called Shi Chuxue was not doing her duty and seduced a wild man outside. It was just that Shi Chuxue saved his wife.
"It's good that you're fine. I'll thank Shi Tou another day. Mother comforted him and told him to go eat.”
"Alright, I'll just make some soup now.”
If the man did not misunderstand her, she would not be afraid. As for what Liu-shi wanted to scold, let her be. In any case, she had been cursing non-stop ever since she entered the room.
"They didn't leave any food for you!" Xia Hanzhi frowned. Seeing the little lady turn around to light the fire, he understood everything.
He got up and ran to the rice bowl angrily. When he opened it, it was as clean as a dog licking it. When she closed the lid, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the rice in the swill bucket.
"Ha…good…very good…this family is really…"
"Hanzhi, let's leave it at that. Mother is unhappy because of what I did in the past. She has resentment in her heart. Just send it out." Seeing the man like this, Shi Chuxue was still worried.
"It's none of your business."
Xia Hanzhi walked out with a cold face.
The cold wind caused Shi Chuxue to shiver. However, after hesitating for a moment, she buried her head and continued to light the fire. He was really hungry.
Besides, his family wasn't that well-off, yet he threw away the food. In this era, it was really too much.
"Xia Hongxia, get the hell out here…"
In the courtyard, Xia Hanzhi's roar made Shi Chuxue's heart tremble.
It seemed that the man was really furious because of the food.
However, she didn't want to go out and persuade him. She continued to light the fire.
In the inner room, Liu-shi was still with Xia Hongxia and her beautiful wife who was cursing and seducing people.
Suddenly, she heard a roar from outside the house. Hong Xia angrily grabbed Liu-shi's arm," Mother, look at my big brother. He's not working in the face of the heavens, and he's still shouting at me, a girl?" After all, she was a thirteen-year-old girl. How can you sweep people's faces like this!"
Seeing this, Ruhua's eyes turned and she also interjected.
