Sister-in-law from a poor family

Chapter 6 The deal between two little milk babies
Seeing his silly eldest brother and Qin Mianmian walking away, Fangfang's short legs couldn't catch up.

She felt a little aggrieved, so she sat on the side of the road with tears in her eyes.

"Fangfang, what are you doing squatting here?" A little boy passing by with a basket on his back approached her and squatted in front of her and asked cautiously.

Fangfang looked up and saw the person in front of her, and burst into tears.

"Little Tiger."

"Well, what's wrong? Were you beaten by your mother too?" Xiao Huzi asked suspiciously with a look of astonishment on his face.

"You are so good that you will be beaten?"

"No, I wasn't beaten, and I won't run around in the mountains." Fangfang was dumbfounded by his words and retorted while wiping her tears.

"Why are you crying when you haven't been beaten? You're so squeamish." When Xiao Huzi heard that she hadn't been beaten, he immediately became disgusted.

In his heart, nothing was sadder than receiving a severe beating.

Fangfang curled her lips, not shying away from the most disobedient boy in the village.

But the more she didn't say anything, the more interested and excited Xiao Huzi became.

"Fangfang, just tell me what's wrong with you."

The little boy came up to her shamelessly and kept asking questions, as if he had to find out the reason.

Fangfang was already annoyed, but she was even more annoyed by this boy's troubles.

With a cold snort, she climbed to her feet and went home.

Little Huzi didn't give up and followed him quietly.

Unknown to Fangfang, who was followed by a little tail behind her, as soon as she entered the gate of her courtyard, she heard the only hen in the house clattering there.

The little girl who had been crying just now suddenly lit up her eyes and ran towards the chicken coop at a trot.

After a while, she took out a warm egg from the chicken coop and held it in her hands like a treasure.

"Yeah, it's the chicken laying eggs again." Fu Chen quickly came out when she heard the noise, and saw Fangfang walking to the kitchen with the eggs.

Her face paused, and her voice suddenly dropped: "Fangfang, what are you doing with the eggs?"

"I'm going to boil the eggs." Fangfang continued walking towards the kitchen without looking back.

"What did you say?" Fu Chen was already very worried. When he heard this, his brows knitted together and his tone became much more serious.

"Why are you so greedy? These eggs have just been laid, how can they be boiled?"

"Mom." Fangfang was frightened by her sudden anger and froze on the spot.

"What's going on at home? I have to save the eggs and sell them to pay off the debt. No one is allowed to eat them." Fu Chen said while taking the eggs directly from her hand.

Fangfang pursed her lips, but no sound came out. Her round, almond-shaped eyes that had just stopped crying were suddenly filled with tears again.

A trace of unbearability flashed in Fu Chen's eyes, but she still didn't give her the egg.

Sighing, she turned back to the house with tears in her own eyes.

The little tiger who was hiding outside and peeking was shocked. He didn't expect that the good girl Fangfang everyone said would be scolded for an egg.

He thought for a moment, then sneaked into Fu's yard with a basket on his back, pulled Fangfang and ran out.

Fangfang was crying sadly when he suddenly pulled her out.

"Isn't your mother very good to you? She never beats you. Why won't you let her boil an egg? Is your mother a stepmother like Xiao Yue'er's mother?" Xiao Huzi didn't understand Mrs. Fu Chen's behavior. Behavior, asked Fangfang strangely.

He was beaten every day, but he basically ate all the eggs in the house.Unless the chicken doesn't lay eggs or wants to hatch chicks, then he can't eat it.

"My mother said that we have to save up the money to sell the eggs, so we can no longer cook them." The more Fangfang thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She was sobbing and couldn't speak clearly.

"Hey, isn't it just eggs? What a big deal. If you really want to eat, my mother boiled eggs for me today and I will secretly bring them to you." Xiao Huzi felt a little uncomfortable seeing her aggrieved look, so he simply let Lay your own eggs.

"Really? You want to give me eggs?" Fangfang was about to continue crying, but stopped immediately when she heard this.

"Yeah, an egg is a big deal." Seeing that she stopped crying, Xiao Huzi showed a big smile and patted his chest and said.

"Won't your mother beat you?" Fangfang asked worriedly.

"Just beat me. If I don't get beaten someday, what a big deal." Xiao Huzi patted his chest again, but because the pat was too hard, he coughed.

His naive look finally made the aggrieved and sad Fangfang laugh.

"Okay, then if you have eggs, bring them to me." She raised her head and looked at the dark-skinned but bright-eyed boy in front of her.

Eggs, she finally had a boiled egg.

"Well, I told you I'll give it to you. But these eggs are not for free. You have to help me with the work." Xiao Huzi regretted seeing her happy look, so he made a condition.

"What kind of work are you doing?" Fangfang didn't care and asked cheerfully.

"You have to help me cut the pig grass and fill a basket full of pig grass." Xiao Huzi took off his basket and handed it to Fangfang.

"That's it?" Fangfang raised her eyebrows and snorted: "Is this a big deal?"

"You cut it first and then talk about it. If you don't cut the entire back, there won't be any eggs for you." Xiao Huzi sneered coldly.

What he fears most is cutting hogweed. There are caterpillars in the grass, and it is uncomfortable to scratch it.

Even if there are no caterpillars, the thatch on the mountain is very sharp and there are many grass seeds, which is very annoying.

"Then what if I get cuts all over my back? Can you give me two eggs?" Fangfang said unconvinced.

Little Huzi is sloppy at work, and cutting pig grass is always a perfunctory job.Not only did he put the pig grass carelessly in his backpack, but he would also carelessly cut in the grass that the pigs couldn't eat.

Just because of this, he got beaten a lot.

After thinking about how Fangfang was praised by her mother every time she cut pigweed, the little tiger gritted his teeth and agreed again.

"Two is two, but you have to come back before lunch. If you can't cut it, I won't give you an egg."

"Okay, I'll go now." After hearing Xiao Huzi's words, Fangfang walked up the mountain with the basket on her back.

It's not just cutting pig grass, it's not an easy task for her.She often does these things at home, so it's not a problem for her at all.

Seeing her walking so briskly, Xiao Huzi felt a little regretful.

How could he go home and tell his mother that it would be better to boil two eggs today? If he told Fangfang, she would definitely not be able to do it, and he might even get a beating.

If he did, he would pretend to have a stomachache. If his mother felt distressed, she would definitely be willing to boil an extra egg!

Thinking of this, he jumped to play by the river.

There are fish and shrimps in the river, which is more fun than going up the mountain to cut pigweed.

If he's lucky, he can catch a lot of crabs, and the crabs taste great.

So one of the two little kids went up the mountain and the other went down to the river, and each went about his or her own business happily.
