Tian Yuqiao had brought back half a basket of pork skin from the village, which weighed at least thirty pounds.

The pork leg was salted by Wang Shi and placed in a jar. Fortunately, the weather had turned cold and the meat could be stored.

The children had been bumping around outside for most of the day and were very tired. So after a quick dinner, they all went back to bed. Only the lonely little monk, who had been sulking at home for the whole day, followed her as she busied herself.

Lady Wang felt that he was still injured, so she refused to let him help. However, the young monk said that it wasn't a big deal for the outsider to suffer a little. If he was not allowed to help, then his son would become the rice bug in the family. Mrs Wang had no choice but to let him help her boil the water.

At the same time, Lady Wang began to pluck the pig hair, throwing the plucked pig tail and hoof into the pot and tightening it. Soon, the meaty aroma filled the air.

Erlang'er was already on the verge of moving. The other brothers in the house all knew that Tian Yuqiao's family would not make any moves at night. Furthermore, the green brick wall in the house was so high that they couldn't see anything.

But Erlang was a heartless person. He only knew that there was a reward, he did not care about anything else.

In the middle of the night, she slipped out of the old house wearing a pair of worn-out grass shoes and went for a stroll around Tian Yuqiao's new house.

Seeing that Erlang Shen had made a move, he also quietly followed him out.

"Second Brother, it's already so late. What are you doing out here?" Saburo asked in a low voice.

"Shh, didn't Milkman say that during dinner? If anyone knows how the Wulang family made a fortune, she'll give them a reward." Last time, he gave me a copper coin. I bought a few pieces of candy. That candy is so sweet. " Jiro licked his lips, his face filled with memories of Sweets.

"It's too late now. I think they're all asleep." Shiro continued.

"It can't be, don't you see there's still smoke at the foot of the mountain? It must be that second uncle's parents haven't slept yet, they're probably having some meat to eat right now." Jiro couldn't help sniffing his nose.

"Let's go take a look, second brother." Saburo suggested.

The two of them headed towards the foot of the mountain. One was tall and the other was short. Like ghosts, they soon arrived at Tian Yu Qiao's house.

Now that Tian Yuqiao had secretly rested enough from the Emptiness Realm, she changed her clothes and secretly filled the already half used water jar with the water from the lotus pond with Emptiness Realm Water.

"Ya, Qiao'er, why are you up?" "Don't just stand there, put on an extra set of clothes, it's cold in the middle of the night."

When Lady Wang saw Tian Yuqiao get up to help, she quickly urged her to put on a thicker set of clothes.

On the other side, Xun Yu Hall and the little monk Yuan Tong had pretty much slept as well. When they heard the commotion outside, they also put on the jackets that Wang Shi had made for them and came out to help.

Everyone carried firewood, grabbed some water, and poured some for the pig hair.

The hoof was thrown into the pit by Tian Yuqiao. After it was burnt for a while, the fur on it turned completely black. Soak it in warm water and scrape it lightly with a blade, and the hoof turns a dull yellow.

After the black color on it had been shaved off, the pig's feet indeed became bare.

"Ya, Qiao'er finally has a way. Mom's eyes are about to go blurry from picking pig hair." Lady Wang said with a smile.

"Mom, let's stew some cabbages tomorrow and eat those pig tails." Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.

"Ai, alright. I'll clean up these things for you. Tomorrow morning, I'll make you some pig's tail soup."

Yuan Ji was there using a wooden stick to dig at the pig's feet in the pit, while Yuan Tong was responsible for adding water and firewood to the pit.

Tian Yuqiao and Yutang, on the other hand, were helping to scrape the pig's feet while Lady Wang was cutting its flesh.

The smell of cooking elbows and roasting pig hair had already captivated the two black shadows outside. In their opinion, this was definitely the second room cooking delicious food at home. Last time, he had given two taels of silver to the second house.

"Seriously, this silver was given to that little bald donkey. Unexpectedly, Second Aunt used it to buy so much meat for him."

"That's right. Second Aunt is truly too excessive to actually covet money from her family."

The two of them were chattering outside, but their noses were constantly moving up and down.

Erlang Shen found some rocks from nearby and piled them together. He leaned against the wall in the corner. Stepping on the stones, he began to climb up the wall. However, the moment his hand touched the wall, he felt as if his hand was pressing against the edge of a knife.

"Aiyo ~"

After a blood-curdling screech, Tian Yuqiao's family heard the sound of a heavy object landing outside their wall.

"Quick, second brother, let's run. We've been discovered by the people inside." Saburo urged.

Without caring about the pain in his hand, Erlang Shen quickly wiped away his snot and left.

After née Wang opened the door, she saw two figures, one tall and the other short, running in the direction of the village entrance.

"Mom, I heard a familiar voice just now. It sounded like Second Brother's voice." Tian Yutang frowned and said.

"That's right, Mother. I also heard the sound of someone sucking on their mucus." It seems that no one in this village likes to eat their own snot. " Yuan Tong also analyzed.

"But why has this Jiro come to our house? "It's already the middle of the night. What is this child doing here, not sleeping at all?" Mrs. Wang said, puzzled.

Tian Yuqiao said, "Isn't that simple? It must be because we have a new house on the side of the house. They want to know how we earn money, so they got Erlang Shen and the others to come and take a look."

"Oh, how can they? "I've just lost two taels of silver, why are you making a fuss now?" Mrs Wang became a little sentimental.

"Mom, this is called eating a hundred beans without any complaints." It's precisely because the other side paid us back the money that Fourth Uncle's amount of silver for the next year's repair is not enough. "I'm sure that you want people to find out how we earn money. Otherwise, with Erlang Shen's personality, he wouldn't have come to our house in the middle of the night without sleeping."

After Tian Yuqiao finished, he carried a small lantern and left.

Indeed, at the base of the wall next to the gate, he saw a small pile of crushed stone with some dirt mixed in.

Looking up, on top of the broken tiles and porcelain shards on the wall, there was actually a streak of bright red blood. It seemed to be the blood that had just been left behind.

"Mom, the blood on the wall hasn't dried yet. I think Erlang Shen will be able to behave for a few days this time. It seems like his hand is quite injured." Tian Yuqiao analyzed.
