Chapter 412 The Vain Little Aunt 12
Chapter 412 The Vain Little Aunt 12
Xiang Ping'an couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The Xiang family hadn't had meat for a long time.
Xiang Qingcao was fine. After eating eggs for ten days or so, Xiang Ping'an really wanted to eat meat. What child wouldn't want to eat meat?
At this time, Xiang Qingcao took out the pheasant eggs in the basket.
"There are also pheasant eggs. These five pheasant eggs are all left for you to eat. Ask mother to hide them for you when you get home."
"Sister, you are so nice to me."
At this time, Xiang Qingcao started to cut grass for the pigs and put the pheasant in Xiang Ping'an's backpack.
I covered it with the firewood I collected so that I wouldn't be seen on the way back.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiang Ping'an put raspberries at the bottom of her backpack, hid five pheasant eggs in the middle, and covered them with pig grass so that others would not see them.
After everything was ready, the brother and sister returned home. They were lucky because Zhou Yan went out to slack off at this time.
There were only Wang Lan and Azhi at home. Zhou Yan was supposed to sweep the pigpen and feed the pigs, while Wang Lan was supposed to do the laundry, do housework and cook. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan was so shameless that she ran away to avoid being idle.
Although Xiang Qingcao was relieved in his heart, when he saw Wang Lan was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back, he was filled with resentment towards Zhou Yan.
She came to the pigpen and said to Wang Lan, "Mom, please come out quickly. I brought back some goodies."
"What good stuff?"
Although the whole pigpen was stinking, Wang Lan had already accepted the smell and walked out of the pigpen while wiping the sweat off her face.
At this time Xiang Qingcao brought out the pheasant.
"Pheasant? Where did you catch the pheasant? This thing runs very fast in the mountains. Most people can't catch it. How did you do it?"
Some people in the village have caught pheasants, and there are also wild rabbits in the mountains, but I didn't expect that my daughter could catch one too.
Wang Lan took the pheasant and weighed it.
"It looks like 7 or 8 kilograms. It's really fat. I'm really lucky."
At this time, Wang Lan approached Qingcao and whispered, "I also picked up pheasant eggs, but I have to keep them for Ping An to nourish his body. The pheasant can be stewed and eaten by the family, but the pheasant eggs cannot be used for milk, otherwise Ping An will not get a bite."
"And pheasant eggs?"
These pheasant eggs are good stuff. People in the village say that pheasant eggs are more nutritious than ordinary eggs. Some people in the town even spend a lot of money to buy them.
But five pheasant eggs are too few and are not worth much if sold.
Wang Lan thought about it carefully and nodded.
"Okay, then don't give it to me if you don't want to. But your aunt wants to give you a pheasant egg. Don't refuse it yet. Think about the eggs you eat every day when you are sick."
"Pheasant eggs are nutritious. It won't be a problem if you cook one of the five pheasant eggs for your aunt."
Can Xiang Yun still live without eggs?
Why doesn't Xiang Po think of her own daughter?
Xiang Qingcao only said this in the letter; she didn't dare say it in front of Wang Lan.
Her own mother was particularly tolerant of her aunt, and sometimes Xiang Qingcao even suspected that Wang Lan treated Xiang Yun as her own daughter.
"Okay, everything is up to mother's arrangement."
Wang Lan cleaned up the pigsty and went to the field to call back Mrs. Xiang.
At first, Xiang Pozi was a little impatient, but when she heard that Xiang Qingcao had caught a pheasant in the mountain, she immediately came back with a hoe.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a pheasant lying on the ground, struggling weakly.
The mother-in-law's eyes sparkled as she spoke, "This is really fat. It will surely sell for a lot of money."
"Sell for money?"
Xiang Qingcao gritted his teeth, but he didn't expect that Xiang Pozi's first thought when she saw the pheasant was to sell it for money.
Xiang Ping'an, who was standing by, was also dumbfounded, his eyes red with anxiety.
I saw the old woman walked up to the pheasant and started to look at it.
"Yes, it must be worth a lot of money. I will sell it tomorrow morning."
After saying this, he picked up the pheasant and was about to go back to the room to put it away. Xiang Qingcao hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Xiang Pozi's way.
"Grandma, you can't take the pheasant and sell it. I caught it in the mountains. I want to kill it and make chicken soup."
Wang Lan noticed Xiang Qingcao's actions just now, but she didn't have time to grab Xiang Qingcao.
Now seeing the hidden anger on Mrs. Xiang's face, Wang Lan thought to herself that she was doomed.
The scolding towards the old woman rang out sharply.
"You greedy little girl, I'm not dead, but you want to control me? I'm telling you, if you're greedy, you should be slapped in the face. Don't think that the pheasant you catch is yours, and that we belong to the family if there's no division. You are an unfilial and money-losing little girl..."
As Mrs. Xiang cursed again and again, Xiang Qingcao couldn't help but tear up.
It was clearly the pheasant that he caught, but now he has no right to deal with it. As long as the family has not been divided, he has to obey the arrangements of Xiang Po-zi.
Thinking of the grievances his parents had suffered over the years, Xiang Qingcao couldn't help but explode.
"Separate the family, separate the family now."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wang Lan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xiang Qingcao, with deep disapproval in her eyes.
"How can you, as a junior, propose to split the family? Okay, stop talking, I..."
"Mom! That was clearly the pheasant I caught, why did you sell it? We only eat meat a few times a year, can't you make chicken soup for us?"
Xiang Qingcao is really fed up with this miserable life and decides to split up the family.
If you have the things in your dreams in your mind, you will definitely lead your family to live a good life and get rid of other troubles at the same time.
Let the second wife's family fend for themselves.
Wang Lan pushed Xiang Qingcao to make her daughter shut up, and sneered at the old woman while holding the pheasant.
"She's really promising. I've never seen a granddaughter who can be the head of an elder. Wang Lan, look at the good daughter you have raised. She's really..."
"mother!"
Ah Zhi pushed the door open and looked at the farce outside. The expression on the face of the old woman who had been stern just now changed immediately. She walked forward with gentle eyes and asked softly.
"What's wrong? Did mom disturb you? Okay, it's so noisy outside, you should go back to your room and have some rest."
Seeing Mrs. Xiang changing her expression faster than turning the pages of a book, Xiang Qingcao felt even more upset.
Apart from the second uncle who worked efficiently in the fields, the whole family fell entirely on Xiang Youfu and Wang Lan.
On the surface, Xiang Pozi had arranged everything. Zhou Yan cleaned the pigsty and fed the pigs, but in fact, she slipped away when it was her turn, and all matters fell on Wang Lan.
Mrs. Xiang only looks at the results and not the process. Even if she knows that Zhou Yan is being lazy, she won't care too much if she doesn't see it.
It’s enough to have someone do the housework, and at most they can scold you a few times when necessary.
Not to mention the work in the fields, Xiang Youlu would do it honestly, and Zhou Xing'er would just take Zhou Yan to have some free time.
Even Xiang Pingkang didn't know where he was fooling around, and he definitely wouldn't help with anything at home.
Sometimes the money I earned from helping out would all go into Xiang Po's pocket.
