Chapter 18

Who doesn't know that Auntie likes to watch the fun so much? It's better to go out and collect firewood if you have spare time. You will know that there is no firewood left. You can only say that you have to suffer for yourself.

Liu also knew that the firewood at home was tight. "Well, I'll ask Guangliang to take a bundle for your family in a moment. You know, the firewood at home doesn't work in cold winter and winter."

Wang Xiuli thinks a bundle is too few, "Er Niang, a bundle is not enough, there will be no rice for two days."

"Did not think of a way on their own, so many firewood on the mountain..." Wang Xiushu said, tone is very disgusting, do not know to pick up firewood for home, even can borrow, it is really rare.

Wang Xiuli's face was ugly. "You," just wanted to say something, and then she turned her eyes to Wang Qiwang, "second uncle, you can't look at our house without firewood..."

Wang Qiwang was calm. Although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't look at his elder brother's lack of firewood. "In this way, I'll take two bundles for your family for a while, but no more. Let your father go to the mountain to chop some firewood at noon tomorrow, and the problem will be solved."

"Thank you, uncle." Wang Xiuli had a bright smile. Then she picked up the sweet potato cake loaded by Liu and immediately smeared oil on the soles of her feet and left.

Wang Qiwang also put down his cake and went to the back door where firewood was placed. Wang Guangming snorted coldly, "so is my aunt, even the girl taught me to be like this..." but even so, he went back and helped Wang Qiwang to carry firewood.

"Xiuli, the child is used to by her mother..." Liu sighed, and then began to cook in silence.

In the cold winter, the village also has a heated kang, which can make people feel a little warmer. Wang Xiushu sits between the Kang and thinks about things, how to make peace with Xie Zurong.

Maybe it's a good opportunity for Xie Zurong to bring Li Zhi home in a few years, but it's not easy to frame himself this time.

"Big, big, small..." from time to time, the sound came from the gambling Fang. One by one, they tried to become the rich side. A figure in the crowd made people feel familiar.

"Brother Xie, how are you today?" The man who squints his eyes looks like a good brother and two good brothers. He puts his arms on the thin man in the white robe.

The man in the white robe turned his head. He was Xie Zurong, widow Xie's son. His eyes were red. It was obvious that he had not slept for several days.

"Today's luck is good, this will win three or two, I want to be bigger." With that, Xie Zurong's eyes lit up. If he could win this time, it would be three times as much silver, and that would be nine Liang.

The man smiles and touches the short beard of his chin, "then press it again. I'll bet on the big one." With that, the ten taels of silver were pressed to the top.

Xie Zurong was a little hesitant. "Brother Li, I won this time and invited you to drink..." Xie Zurong said aloud, not realizing that his behavior was no different from that of a gambler.

"Easy to say, easy to say." Li Zhi smiles and wants to win. Ha ha, it's naive.

Widow Xie always thought that her son was studying in the Academy. Looking at the snowflakes, she couldn't help saying, "I don't know if your brother is cold in the academy?"

"Niang, you don't care whether brother is cold or not. I can't stand the cold now, and I don't know when Wang Xiushu will come back?" Xie Yuxiang is garrulous, the more he says, the more angry he is. He throws the dishcloth directly into the water.

In recent days, because of the cold weather of widow Xie, the housework of the family falls on Xie Yuxiang. If it is normal, it is no big deal, but it snowed last night.

"I don't know what happened to that cheap hoof recently. He always goes to his mother's home, and the dowry is subsidized to his mother's home. It's really unreasonable..." he said while coughing twice.

"When my brother comes back, he must give Wang Xiushu a rest, and then find an official daughter-in-law for my brother, or change a big house for us..." Xie Yuxiang's teeth itch, thinking that he can live in a big house and have a group of servant girls, it's really a dream to wake up with a smile.

"When she comes back, I won't teach her a lesson." Widow Xie's mean face was covered with wrinkles. With her hate eyes, it was chilling.

Qian Dahu has been nesting on the mountain these days. Although there is no firewood in winter, there are many actions in hibernation on the mountain. Taking this opportunity, he can catch more. Good fur is a rare commodity.

With a bow and arrow in his hand, he went over the mountains to look for the cave from time to time. When he was cold, he punched twice. When he thought of the girl, Qian Dahu's eyes were full of tenderness.

But today's luck is not very good, did not hit anything, pack up the money, Dahu is going to go home, but heard the familiar female voice and speed up the pace.

In order to thank Qian Dahu for saving Wang Guangming, Liu asked Wang Xiushu to take some cakes to Qian's home, which is also a kind of thanks.

"Auntie, this is to thank big tiger for saving my brother. My mother asked me to send the cake..." Wang Xiushu came to Qian's house with the basket. Knowing that Qian was not there, she was ready to put down her things and leave.

Step mother Hu's eyes flashed something, and then piled up a fake smile, "how can this be funny..." said that he was sorry, but he was ready to take it, the aroma was really attractive.

Seeing this, Qian Dahu's eyes were dim. He went up with an arrow and took the basket with his hand. The sharpness in his eyes made Hu slow.

"It's so cold. Why did you come here?" Qian Dahu looks at the beautiful face of the woman in front of her, which has been frozen red. He says gently, as if he is afraid of scaring Wang Xiushu.

Wang Xiushu stamped her feet, not to say she didn't feel it yet. She said that she was really cold. "It's OK. If you want to eat sweet potato cake while it's hot, I'll go back."

"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Qian Dahu moved his steps and blocked the windshield for Wang Xiushu.

Wang Xiushu wrong hand, "no, my mother is still waiting for me to go home to eat." Then she ran away directly. When she ran far away, Wang Xiushu looked back and saw that the man was still standing in the snow. What a fool.

Qian Dahu stood in the snow for a long time. After watching the thin figure disappear, he turned back and went home. The smell of sweet potato cakes rolled in front of his nose from time to time.

Hu sat on the chair and looked at Qian Dahu. He was not angry and said, "Oh, I don't know. I even got married. Don't blame my mother for not reminding you. Don't ruin the reputation of Qian family..."

After listening to Hu's harsh words, Qian Dahu was silent. Hu didn't respond to them. Then he continued, "Wang Xiushu is not a good girl. You still..." suddenly, Hu's voice stopped abruptly.
