When Wenxiu followed Wang Yanqing and Song Xiaoyue back to her house, she saw her tearful daughter and the worried Zhang. Only then did she feel what was called 'lingering fear'.
She didn't dare to think about whether she had been possessed by a ghost tonight, which was why she went to the haunted forest to pick red fruits in the middle of the night. Even if she could think of a new way to earn money, wouldn't she be able to wait an entire night?
What the hell, what the hell, she must have been possessed!
Wenxiu's heart was full of fear. This was a fear she had never felt before when facing the Li family and the Yang family. Her heart was empty as she hugged her two children. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.
She was afraid!
"Aiyo, why are you crying? "It's fine, it's fine. The Tong Tong is fine, I've been accompanying you all this time!" Mrs Zhang saw that Wenxiu was crying and did not know what was going on. Her face was full of worry.
Wang Yanqing was a man. It was not good for her to stay at Wen Xiu's house late at night. After handing the basket to Song Xiaoyue, she went back by herself to discredit it. Song Xiaoyue carried her basket into the house and happened to hear Mrs Zhang finish her sentence. "Sister-in-law is right. Nothing will happen to the Tong Tong. We went to the mountain to look for you after asking our sister-in-law to accompany Tong Tong. "
Wenxiu didn't know what to say in her heart to thank the Wang Yanqing couple and Mrs Zhang. Even though she was thanking them, she always felt that the word 'thank you' was too soft. It was already late in the autumn. The two families had come to find her in the dark for her, because of her, because of her, because of her. She … She was truly touched.
Mother, don't cry. "If you cry, the Tong Tong Tong wants to cry too, wuu …
"Mother, don't cry!"
After the three of them hugged each other for a while to ease up, the two children became tired and sleepy. Wenxiu coaxed the children to sleep. After covering them with the quilt, she spoke a few words of gratitude to Mrs Zhang and Song Xiaoyue. The other two people quickly waved their hands. What was there to thank them for?
"Mistress Yue, did Tree come looking for you?"
How could the tree know she was in the woods when it found out it wasn't in bed? He had the guts to go to the Wang family alone in the dark. But this also made Wenxiu afraid. What would she do in her life if she encountered something along the way or fell into a fecal pit?
Song Xiaoyue also felt that it was strange. She was sleeping comfortably when she heard someone knocking on her courtyard door. Fortunately, she and Wang Yanqing's house was the closest to the courtyard gate, so they heard the commotion and followed the tree to find Wen Xiu. If it was her second and third brother living outside, there might not be anyone who would open the door for Tree tonight. It wasn't for anything else. As lazy as the two brothers were, they wouldn't sit as long as they were able to lie down. They definitely wouldn't stand as long as they were able to sit. It's warm in the bed in this kind of weather!
"That's right, it's really hard for such a young child to grow up." After Song Xiaoyue sighed with emotion, she returned to the topic of Wenxiu picking red fruits. "Xiu Niang, you went to the forest in the middle of the night to pick red fruits, are you not afraid?"
In case …
Eh, Song Xiao and Moonlight felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
Wenxiu didn't even bother to ask how Song Xiaoyue knew that she was going to the mangrove forest. She directly picked up on Song Xiaoyue's words, "Before I went there, I wasn't afraid. I didn't even think about what I would encounter. It's just that now …" Her legs were still shaking.
In her previous life, Wenxiu was neither a mercenary nor a hitman, but as a high-rank thief, she had learned all eighteen types of martial arts and had also received all kinds of training. What kind of difficult environment had she not encountered before? However, what happened tonight was an exception. She had lived for two lifetimes, and this was the first time she had seen a ghost!
When Zhang Shi saw Wenxiu's pale face and saw her stammering, as if she were a completely different person from the usually calm and composed Wenxiu, her heart skipped a beat. She probed, "Xiu Niang, you didn't really meet …"
Wenxiu really did not want to admit it, but she had no choice but to admit it. In the end, she nodded and said in a low voice, "I really met him!"
"…"
"…"
Wenxiu didn't know how they ended the topic, nor did she know when Song Xiaoyue and Mrs Zhang left. It was almost noon by the time she woke up. The potato flour he made yesterday was gone. Song Xiaoyue must have come this morning to pick it out.
"Mother, Aunt Yue asked me why you picked the red fruit." Seeing her mother sitting in a daze on the threshold of her house, Tree leaned over and asked her, "Mother, the red fruit is so bad to eat. Why did you pick it?"
Last night, he was so scared that he didn't want his mother to take any more risks. Actually, he and the Tong Tong didn't like eating red fruits at all. Mom didn't need to pick the fruits for them in the middle of the night.
In her heart, Mu Er was deeply moved by what her mother had done for them, but this time, his guess was wrong.
When Wenxiu heard Tree's words, she felt her heart warm. She raised her hand to rub her son's hairy head and gently said, "Mother, you will never pick red fruits again tonight!" After that, she would only go during the day!
Hmph, did the ghost dare to come out during the day?
Tree did not understand the latter part of his mother's words and nodded obediently. Then, he shouted that he was hungry, that he wanted to eat!
At this moment, Scholar Wen suddenly thought of cooking!
The red fruit had been plucked and poured into the round plaque. It was a thick layer, red and big, and it emitted a faint fragrance. You were especially alluring. She picked the two most familiar ones and put them into her mouth. She closed her eyes, and her teeth fell out from the pain.
Sure enough, this thing had to have sugar, so it was the most suitable for sugar!
A few days ago, Wenxiu went to the town to buy two kilograms of white sugar for the market. She had planned to cook the egg for the child to eat before she bought it. One had to know, the price of sugar was priceless. Even the richer families usually ate brown sugar. In this village, there was no one who could eat sugar other than Chen Shan and his family, there was probably no one else who could!
For the sake of her child, Wenxiu was willing to give it up!
After Song Xiaoyue sold all the potato flour, she came back with an empty bucket. When she returned, Wenxiu was in the kitchen, boiling white sugar. She watched as the sweet white sugar was boiled into a thick sauce, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Isn't Wenxiu being too extravagant and degrading?
Aiyo, where's the good sugar? What is she doing?
"Xiu Niang, you …"
Wenxiu was engrossed in making the sugar. When she heard Song Xiaoyue's voice, she looked up and saw that she had arrived. She smiled and nodded, not asking about the potato powder. She indicated towards Song Xiaoyue with her mouth, "I haven't cut enough bamboo sticks yet, hurry up and help me cut some more. "Just like me, string the red fruit together."
Song Xiaoyue looked in the direction of Wenxiu's pursed lips and saw a thin strip of bamboo on the ground, as well as 20 to 30 strings of red fruits that Wenxiu had already counted. She could not understand what Wenxiu was trying to do. But no matter how much she thought about it, her hands were not idle. She quickly put down the wooden bucket to peel the bamboo skewers and the red fruits.
Wen Xiu was afraid that the candy in the wok was too thick for her to talk to Song Xiaoyue. She hurriedly took the hawthorn skewers and placed them into the wok, wrapping each red fruit in a thin layer of sugar.
