Chapter 8 Killing the Duck
"Ding, I found a pure free-range wild duck, two pounds and six taels, worth 78 points."

Lin Wan touched the duck's feathers, looked at the panel in front of her, and searched for ducks. 78 points could be exchanged for a duck weighing nearly ten pounds.

However, I have some understanding in my heart. After all, it is the natural wild mountain product that modern people pursue, and it is naturally more valuable.

But compared to the meat in the greenhouse, it is actually more tender, but it has a bit more fishy smell.

Lin Wan originally thought about changing to a big duck now.

But Zhang Xiaoshan's eager eyes were glued to the duck, and Lin Wan couldn't do anything for a while.

The three of them walked slowly. Zhao Cuixi held her waist while going downhill, which was a bit difficult.

Lin Wan reached out and pulled her, and looked at her belly. She was already a little pregnant, and she didn't know how many months it was.

It was helpless to let her go up the mountain today. After all, Lin Wan was notorious in the past. She would not care whether you were pregnant or not, so she would be considerate and not let you work.

Next time I have to find an excuse not to let Zhao Cuixi go up the mountain.

If you fall or have an accident, you'll be in trouble.

"Slow down, be careful about my grandson. We are going to eat duck meat tonight." Lin Wan looked at Zhao Cuixi pretending to be dissatisfied and said calmly.

Zhao Cuixi didn't care about Lin Wan's sarcastic words. She was all focused on being able to eat duck meat. Her face was full of joy. They hadn't had any meat in more than ten months.

If she could only eat a bowl, no, she would be satisfied with just a piece.

But looking at the size of the duck, it's probably not her turn to eat meat. It would be good to drink some soup.

Being able to fill her stomach these days is much better than the days before, when she could only scrape the bottom of the pot to barely satisfy her hunger.

The good days these past few days simply made her feel like she was falling into the clouds.

She nodded heavily: "Okay, mother, this duck feather can be made into a small piece of clothing to wear next to your body, and it will keep you warm."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Zhao Cuixi petting the duck with a happy face, but he couldn't help but conjure up those cruel scenes in his heart.

How could I still hold back the sourness in my heart? The tears came as soon as I could.

Lin Wan looked at him in astonishment: "Why are you crying?"

Zhao Cuixi also quickly retracted her hand.

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the two of them with sobs, his eyes turned to Lin Wan's face and then fell on the duck, and the tears flowed more violently.

"Mom..." He wanted to ask if he could kill this little duck, but he was also very afraid that his mother would be angry because of this and not like him anymore, and then his mother would become what she was before.

Not only will he attack them, but he might even take all the food to his mother’s family...

In just a few moments, countless thoughts went through Zhang Xiaoshan's mind, and he could only nod and shake his head.

Lin Wan looked at him with doubts in her heart, and finally determined that the reason was that Xiaoshan was scared by those people.

With a bit of tenderness, he said: "Don't worry, you caught the duck. Mom will definitely give you more points when the time comes."

Zhang Xiaoshan felt even more sour after hearing this, and his tears became even more intense.

But he could only follow Lin Wan home obediently.

But he silently swore in his heart that he would definitely not eat his little friend!
Braving the drizzle, the three of them returned home.

The sun was brighter than before, and it was probably noon.

Lin Wan casually placed Jiang Bei's basket in the room. Zhao Cuixi glanced at it and found it was empty.

I felt a little bitter for no reason. No wonder my mother-in-law wanted to follow me to the back mountain today. It seemed that she was going to work as a supervisor.

Looking at the clean water in the water tank in the shed in the courtyard, it seems that the family members are not idle and have finished all the work.

Zhao Cuixi also took off her backpack and took the duck from Lin Wan's hand: "Mom, let me heat some hot water and take off the duck's feathers."

With quick green hands and feet, he picked up the duck's wings and tied them with grass and vines.

With a smile on her face, Lin Wan calmly took the duck over and said, "Go and have a rest. It's hard to do these killing things now that you're pregnant. Let's go boil some water."

"Ah? Oh." Zhao Cuixi was a little shocked.A little happy again.

In the past, I basically did all the work at home, but my mother-in-law never cared about her at all. She always made herself a cow and a horse, let alone doing it for the sake of the children.

Now my mother-in-law's eyes even revealed a tenderness that she had never seen before.

Maybe my mother-in-law has really changed.

Lin Wan carried the duck to the kitchen and replaced it with a fat duck weighing seven pounds or eighty taels at lightning speed.

There are 20 points left.

Now there are 406 points left.

Lin Wan could still make money by going in and out. Lin Wan nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the green smoke floating in the yard, Lin Wan squeezed the duck to death with one hand.

When the water was hot, Zhao Cuixi wanted to come to help, but Lin Wan sent her away on the grounds that it was not suitable to see blood.

He stumbled and began to shed his hair.

All the duck feathers floating in the water were quite different from the neat ones expected.

Lin Wan had a headache looking at the scene in front of her. These things were not her strong point.

Just when he was worried, he saw Zhang Goudan pushing the door open and coming in.

"Mother, I..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lin Wan: "You've come just in time. Kill this duck quickly and keep the hair. Girl Xi'er will make clothes for you."

"Hey, okay, okay."

Zhang Goudan was a little confused and took a few steps forward to look at the messy duck feathers and ducks in the basin.

He frowned, went to the house to get a bowl and a bamboo grate, rolled up his sleeves, fished out the duck feathers bit by bit, and placed them on the bamboo grate.

Then he made an opening on the duck's neck with a knife and put the blood in a bowl.

Before the duck's eyelids closed, Lin Wan felt that it was staring directly at her.

My heart tightened, and I was thinking about what to cook that night. For a big family, with six mouths, one duck would definitely not be enough, so I turned around and went to prepare other food.

It's just that she doesn't know the difference between what she can get now and what she can get in her own store.

You can’t just rashly bring out some dishes that aren’t available right now.

Lin Wan exchanged some coins from the mall, took ten and went to the room.

When I opened the door, I saw Zhang Xiaoshan lying on his back and crying.

Lin Wan softened her tone: "What's wrong, Xiaoshan?"

"Mom?" Zhang Xiaoshan stood up in a hurry and wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand: "It's okay."

Listening to his low tone, he didn't seem to be okay.

Lin Wan got some hot water and prepared to help him wash his face: "Is it because of the duck?"

Zhang Xiaoshan thought Lin Wan understood his thoughts, and the grievance in his eyes became more serious.

Who would have thought that Lin Wan then said: "Those bad kids have left and will not bully you again."

"Well..." Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes that had just lit up stopped again: "I understand, mother, Xiaoshan won't cry anymore."

Anyway, the duck is dead...

"Go to grandma's place and see if there are any dishes you can exchange for." Lin Wan put down the towel in her hand and said.

Zhang Xiaoshan was a little embarrassed. Has his mother become the same as before?Using children to beg for food.
