Fertile land

Chapter 58

Luo Zhi'er ran up in a few steps, ran to the pig pen and looked around...

The pig was lying in the pen as if asleep. There was still a lot of uneaten pig grass in his trough, as well as the pig food from the day before...

Mrs. Zhou must have been lying here crying just now. There was a pile of pigweed flattened on the ground...

Luo Zhi'er found a piece of cloth to cover her mouth, and put on a pair of gloves like those usually worn by Li Sanmao.

"Miaomiao, stay away from this pig and don't touch it."

I also found a piece of cloth for her to cover her mouth, and she squatted down, opened the pig's mouth, and looked for leftover grass in the pig's mouth. Except for the usual pigweed, she found no poisonous grass.

I didn’t see white bubbles coming out of the pig’s mouth either…

Mrs. Zhou came up and muttered in her ear, disrupting her thinking, "What can you find out with your little hooves? Your daughter fed the pigs to death, and she still refuses to admit it? Parents shouldn't be compensated. ah?"

Old Li also came up, and Mrs. Zhou said again: "Old man, take a look at her virtues and how she armed herself like a masked hero..."

Old Li rubbed his ankles and looked at her curiously. He saw her opening the pig's tail and searching everywhere on the pig:

"Third daughter-in-law, what can you find out about this dead pig? Forget it, let's let this matter go as it is, and let Sanmao carry it to the river in a basket and wash it away..."

His family has no shortage of pork. Sanmao hunts, and the wild boar meat tastes very fragrant. He has no idea how this pig died. Recently, he heard that several pigs in the neighboring village also died...

Could it be swine fever? However, the wife said that Miao Miao was fed to death, so she was fed to death. She was too lazy to investigate. When Sanmao went hunting, he asked him to hunt a few more.

"Ahem... let Sanmao kill a few extra wild boars during his usual hunting and sell them, and buy two more piglets to feed."

If one died, he would need two, and in addition, he would have to hunt a few more in his spare time for hunting...

never mind?She doesn't know how to calculate, she won't let Miaomiao be wronged, beaten, and still blame herself...

Lao Li saw that his third daughter-in-law was stubborn and couldn't find anything, so he sighed and went back to his house. He had been suffering from severe back pain recently, so he took another beating and went to lie down...

Li Sanmao put down his backpack with a sullen face. No matter how the pig died today, he would not be able to escape if he had to pay compensation...

His heart ached when he saw his wife running around all day and still fainting, with her fat body roaming the ground looking for poisonous weeds, and Miao Miao looking for poisonous weeds with her mother in tears.

When Mrs. Zhou saw the old man enter the house, Luo Zhi'er could only turn the pig's tail and mouth over and over, and ran into the house to pick at the pig with satisfaction!

What she regretted was that she didn't eliminate the traces of the corpse?

She was afraid that the old man would blame her for feeding the pig to death, so she made the excuse that Miao Miao had fed it to death, so Old Li Tou did not deal with the pig.

If she had made it clear to Old Li Tou from the beginning, the pig might have been washed away by the river now!
Li Gui changed into clean clothes and was about to go to bed when his mother suddenly opened the door with a needle in her hand and said, "Gui'er, there are some thorns in my hand. My eyesight is not good. Please help me pick it out!"

Li Gui was so frightened that he quickly covered himself with a quilt and huddled inside.
"Mom, I've told you many times, why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?" Li Gui frowned.

"Mom, I didn't realize you were so late. You were washing up in the backyard just now. You should have stopped reading before you came in. Mom didn't bother you!"

Li Gui felt that he had no privacy.

Mrs. Zhou said again, "Gui'er, you crawled out of my mother's belly. Why haven't you seen me before? What are you afraid of? Okay, okay, I will say hello first next time you come in!"

Li Gui took the needle from Zhou's hand and was dissatisfied. My mother is so imprudent. It's so annoying!
He grabbed her hand and picked out the thorns for her. The hand was really rough, like tree bark. At first glance, why were there so many?When will it be picked?
……

Luo Zhi'er searched for a long time, saw Li Sanmao limping over, and stepped forward.
whispered,
"Sanmao, I know you are tired after running all day, but... I don't want Miaomiao to be wronged. It may be a small thing to you, but it may affect her life."

"Can you please dissect this pig? I want to see if there are poisonous weeds in its stomach?"

Li Sanmao stared at her silently, then looked at Miao Miao who was looking at him eagerly: "Daughter-in-law, if you say it's troublesome, of course I'm happy for you and Miaomiao. Just wait, I'll get dressed..."

Yu Bi went over and put on the leather jacket he usually used to butcher wild boars, found a knife, and carried the pig to the rack where he usually butchered pigs.

Light a big torch and start working...

At night, the wind is a bit cool, there are frogs croaking all around, and there are dots of fireflies floating not far away in the field...

When he raised the knife and lowered it, the pig was disemboweled, chopped into two halves and hung on an iron hook.

"Sanmao, after you take out the internal organs, put them here..."

"Daughter-in-law, you can't eat this pig, and the internal organs must be thrown away!"

Li Sanmao thought she was going to braise the large intestine again. He suspected that the pig was not poisoned but had swine fever...

"I'll take a look..."

"Oh!"

Li Sanmao turned over the internal organs and threw them into a large wooden basin on the ground. She mainly looked at its stomach.

While they were slaughtering the pigs, Li Daqiang also ran out. Seeing this scene happening at home, he didn't know what to say. His wife was in a bad mood one day and didn't say a word to him.

He wasn't in the mood to care about his mother scolding or beating her. In fact, he had just come back from the banker's field!
It was so cold in the house that he made his two children fall asleep!I wonder if my wife is still feeling unwell?
Unfortunately, the pig died again. After the pig died, the family lost an expense. His family had good luck and was still in debt to go to school!
When he came back from the fields, his mother was scolding him and howling that the pig was dead. His wife had a cold face and ignored him.

Indifference can no longer be indifferent. Once a woman is heartbroken, will she no longer be able to keep warm?
He was so shocked by her words, "Why did you say that you will be good to her for the rest of your life? She chose the wrong father for her baby..." From last night to today, he couldn't recover...

The leftovers in the pot are just dried rice cakes with corn paste stuck to the bottom of the pot.

I ate casually and drank a sip of cold water. It didn't matter if I didn't feel cold, just fill my stomach.

He has to work hard to make this family a better place. His father and mother are getting older, the second child goes to town, the third child wants to go hunting, and the family has to plow the wheat fields...

He thought about waiting for the cattle in the village to finish using them before borrowing them. He didn't know how long it would take to borrow them. His family didn't seem to have a good relationship with the villagers!
So, he took a hoe to dig up the soil, and used a knife to cut the weeds and burn them to see if he could make the land more fertile... If he didn't take the initiative to do it in this family, who would do it?
"Sanmao, third sister-in-law, what are you doing... um... do you want brother to help?"

Luo Zhi'er raised her eyes and glanced at this elder brother, rolled up her sleeves, her face was dark and dark, and she showed her big yellow teeth when she spoke, and she was less than 41 years old...

He really looks like an old scalper, the kind of die-hard fan of Yuxiao...

"Brother, the pig died. My mother beat Miao Miao. My wife wants to see how the pig died..."
