An He immediately put the rabbit fur cloak on Ripples. Ripples turned around in a circle. He felt very good and ordered:

"An He, put it away. I will wear this when I walk around the village."

"Yes, miss!"

An He immediately agreed. He was very satisfied with the fact that the two brothers and sisters were grateful. After all, no one wanted to help a white-eyed wolf.

"Miss Su, this is the dried rabbit meat made by my eldest brother. It's delicious. You should try it too."

Yueyue could feel that the young lady in front of her was very friendly to them, so she became bolder. She took out an oil paper bag from the basket and placed it on the low table next to Lianyi on her tiptoes.

"Yueyue."

Wen Zhaoyue called her sister in a low voice with some embarrassment.

The main thing is that these dried rabbit meats are not gifts. He intends to give them to Zhuangtou. For a refined person like Miss Su, this food is a bit vulgar. Besides, it is something for the mouth, and he is afraid that others will not accept it.

"Really? Then I'll try it."

Lianyi didn't mind. She took a small piece and smelled it. She knew that the jerky must have been made just today. Then she threw it directly into her mouth. After chewing it, she felt that it was quite chewy and slightly salty. It's spicy and can be eaten as a snack.

"It tasted pretty good, so I accepted it."

An He had already put the coat away. After listening to his lady's words, he immediately took out a small white plate, poured a fifth of the dried rabbit meat out of the oil paper bag, and then placed the dried rabbit meat on the plate. The rest was put away on the table and would be taken out when the lady wanted to eat.

"Anhe, make a pot of tea."

Wen Zhaoming immediately waved his hand and said:

"Miss Su, don't bother. The things have been delivered. My sister and I are leaving now."

"The visitor is a guest. Besides, it's snowing right now. Be careful that Yueyue catches a cold. You should wait until the snow stops or becomes lighter before leaving!"

Ripple directly waved his hands.

After hearing this, Wen Zhaoming looked at the large swaths of snowflakes outside, then at his sister, and finally compromised. After all, nothing is more important than his sister's body.

When the tea was served, the scene was quiet for a moment, with only the sound of snow falling, filling the earth with a layer of silvery plain clothes.

Ripple enjoyed this quiet atmosphere. The only sounds in her ears were the sound of boiling water and falling snow. Then she picked up the warm wine and took a sip, feeling more and more comfortable.

Wen Zhaoming, who was beside him, also took a sip of hot tea. Since his mother's death, he had not had a good night's sleep. He was worried about his future, worried that he would not be able to support his sister, and the calculations of his aunt and uncle.

He was a little frustrated for a while, and even complained about why he was not a woman. If he were a woman, he would definitely be able to keep the family well and protect his sister.

What happened one after another after the autumn harvest made him realize that he was still too weak, not only because he was a man, but also because his sister was underage. This time, it was a girl who was sold, so the village chief would go to war. If he was sold Is it yourself?
  At that time, he didn't dare to think about it further. Because his father was a migrant and left early, and his mother had an outright temper and the family was very tense, he didn't have many good friends with their family in the village.

This time, because my mother was gored to death by a wild boar while trying to protect the unharvested crops, it was considered a service to Wenjiazhuang. Otherwise, the few acres of farmland at home would have been taken back by the village.

"Brother Wen, I heard from Zhuangtou that there was a murder in your village, and it seems to be related to your uncle. Can you tell me about it?"

The rippled voice brought Wen Zhaoming back to his senses, who was in a daze.

"That's what happened. Speaking of which, the Zhou family themselves were not honest in their actions. What happened to my brother-in-law was just a pretext."

Wen Zhaoming told what happened, which was basically the same as what Su Wu found out.

"Although the county police have solved the murder case, I understand my brother-in-law's character. Although he is selfish, he does not have the courage to do anything to poison the whole family. I think he was probably used as a knife by his wife. ”

Lianyi felt that Wen Zhaoming was very smart and could see the problem to the point.

"You are right, and I can tell you one more thing."

Ripple said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Wen Zhaoming asked in confusion.

“After Zhou Zhou’s mother escaped with her family, she sold Third Brother Wen on the way to a woman with a bad temper.

This woman liked to drink, and would hit people when she drank too much. The first two husbands divorced her because they couldn't stand her, which gave her a bad reputation in the community.

Someone gave her an idea to buy a husband, and with the deed of prostitution in her hand, she could naturally do whatever she wanted, and as long as a man escaped, he would be a fugitive slave. Without status, he could do nothing. "

After Wen Zhaoming heard what Lianyi said, his mouth hung open for a long time, obviously he didn't expect that his brother-in-law would end up like this.

"Do you want to help him get out of his misery?"

Ripple asked.

Wen Zhaoming just shook his head and said:

"You will reap what you sow. He wants to sell his own niece. In the end, he is the one who will be sold. As a junior, I can't help him."

After listening to the other party's words, Lianyi appreciated the other party even more. He was a clear-minded person who would not retaliate with kindness, nor would he be kind-hearted.

Yueyue on the side couldn't understand what her eldest brother and Miss Su were talking about, but she knew that her uncle who betrayed her was punished, so she nodded and said:

"Brother, this is what you call karma!"

"Yes, Yueyue must remember that we ourselves must behave upright and not do bad things, but we must also be wary of others. This time, it was because of your negligence that my uncle succeeded."

Wen Zhaoming never misses any opportunity to teach his sister.

"Brother, don't worry, Yueyue has taken note of it."

Ripple then asked curiously:
  "Listening to Brother Wen's conversation, it sounds like he has been studying for several years."

"I haven't read any profound books, I just learned to read and understand under my father's teachings."

Wen Zhaoming said with some nostalgia.

His father was a very gentle man, always speaking and doing things in an unhurried manner, and taught him a lot. Even though he was not in good health, his mother still loved and cared for him.

"Oh? What books did your father teach you?"

Ripple continued to ask.

"My father taught me to recite the Three-Character Classic, the Thousand-Character Classic, and One Hundred Family Surnames. He also taught me only half of the book "Male Virtue."

Wen Zhaoming said calmly.

""Male Virtues"? What's so interesting about this kind of book? You don't have to make yourself look stupid."

Lianyi raised her eyebrows and said.

Wen Zhaoming didn't expect that a woman could actually say such things. The most important thing was that he felt the same way.

"I don't like it either, so I don't study much."

Wen Zhaoming said with bright eyes.

"You can go to my study and pick out some books you like to read. I happen to have a copy of the Three Character Classic here. You can take it back to enlighten your sister."

"It's not good."

Wen Zhaoming thought for a while and still refused, then bit his lip and asked:

"Miss Su, you, you... why are you so nice to me?"
