Time Travel: My Wife Is Busy in Farming

Chapter 2 Stealing Chicken
  Before he finished speaking, a man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes and wheat-colored skin appeared in front of Tang Xiaoman.

He didn't have time to put down the basket on his body, so he protected Tang Xiaoman behind him.

"Sister-in-law, I have told you before that you are not allowed to bully Xiaoman when I am not at home!" The voice sounded rich and charming.

When Mrs. Wang saw that her son was back, instead of speaking to her side, she helped her daughter-in-law.

She sat down on the ground and began to roll around.

"Ping An, you're finally back! You're still protecting this little girl, she's fighting to death for her mother's sake!"

Su Ping'an frowned and said, "How could that happen? Mom, Xiaoman hasn't recovered yet, how can I hit you?"

"Look!"

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she opened her trousers and showed Su Ping'an the bruises on her legs.

"This morning, I went to your house and asked her if she wanted to come over to have breakfast, but she beat me like this!"

Su Pingan frowned and looked at Tang Xiaoman and asked, "Really? Xiaoman?"

"I didn't hit her, I just scared her. Who told her to yell at me as soon as she came in?"

"Forget it, mother, I think this is all a misunderstanding! By the way, this is the money I paid for selling goods on the mountain today!"

After saying that, he took out a money bag from his waist and handed it to the old lady Wang. After she finally saw the money, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

The sister-in-law next to her quickly came over to help check how much money Su Ping'an had earned that morning.

"The quality of today's mountain goods is not very good, but I only earn so much money..."

Sister-in-law Liu also said to the two of them with a loud voice: "I think that's all for this time, right? Maybe it's because Xiaoman just woke up and is angry?"

After the two greedy women finished speaking, they took the money bag and went into the house to see how much silver was in it.

Su Pingan turned around and saw Tang Xiaoman wearing the new dress he made for her. It was really beautiful. It could be seen that Tang Xiaoman had dressed up carefully. Could it be that she wanted to make peace with herself and was in a better mood?
  "Xiao Man, I'm sorry. The silver coins were originally intended for you to use for living expenses after your divorce. But now they have been taken away by my mother and the others! I will go to the mountains tomorrow to hunt down some valuable mountain goods to sell!"

Tang Xiaoman looked at the handsome man in front of him, still so infatuated. They have all divorced and are still making plans for their future lives. This man is really infatuated.

Unconsciously, she felt a little moved in her heart. The original owner actually didn't want such a man. Wasn't she blind?

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoman cleared his throat and said solemnly to Su Pingan: "I'm not ready to divorce!"

"What did you say? Is it true?"

Su Ping'an's face turned a little red, and it seemed that he was extremely excited.

Especially after entering the house, he found that Tang Xiaoman had tidied it up very cleanly. Su Ping'an was even more excited. He grabbed Tang Xiaoman's hand and said, "Madam, did you tidy up this house? Really?" It’s so clean!”

Tang Xiaoman blushed a little under his scorching gaze, "Since you're not going to leave, you can't live with these rubbish every day, right?"

Su Ping'an smiled sheepishly. Just when the relationship between the two was about to sublimate a little, a childish voice came from outside the door.

"Third uncle, third aunt, it's time to eat!" I saw a sallow and skinny little girl, only five or six years old, who looked quite pitiful.

Today's dinner was simply pitiful. There were only a few steamed buns and porridge that could be seen at the bottom of the bowl. The side dishes were all dried radish and pickles, which had no oily smell at all.

After returning to his room, Tang Xiaoman was so hungry that his stomach growled.

It's just getting dark now, how can I fall asleep when I'm hungry?
  When Tang Xiaoman returned to the house, he didn't see Wang Qiangping. He originally wanted to ask Su Pingan to go to the kitchen and steal some wowotou for him.

But then she thought about how delicious the wowotou could be. Besides, Tang Xiaoman was simply restless after eating that meal just now.

The expression of the old lady Wang, coupled with Su Ping'an's sister-in-law and brother-in-law, were so fierce that they were about to eat Tang Xiaoman up.

Tang Xiaoman simply lost his appetite when he saw the two of them.

Tang Xiaoman remembered that when he entered the house just now, he saw a chicken pen in the yard.

There were several old hens inside, and Tang Xiaoman was also very hungry.

When it got dark again, she saw that the kerosene lamp in the old woman Wang's house had also been blown out.

The lights in her sister-in-law's and sister-in-law's rooms were also turned off, and the surroundings were quiet. Tang Xiaoman knew that everyone was probably getting ready to sleep.

She sneaked into the chicken coop and grabbed an old hen that was still eating. With a little force, she broke the chicken's neck.

Fortunately, the old hen didn't make any noise. Tang Xiaoman found a secluded place and began to shed the chicken's feathers and boil water. After shedding the chicken's feathers, she thought about how to eat the chicken.

Suddenly, Tang Xiaoman thought, isn't there a way to eat beggar's chicken? She kinda wanted to try it.

So Tang Xiaoman wrapped the old hen in lotus leaves, covered it with mud, and threw it into the stove to burn.

After waiting for half an hour, the aroma of chicken began to waft, and Tang Xiaoman couldn't wait any longer.

When she was about to reach into the stove to reach for the beggar's chicken, suddenly there was the sound of a door opening.

Tang Xiaoman was startled, thinking that the old lady Wang had woken up. As a result, a childish voice came, "Third Aunt, what are you doing if you're not sleeping?"

Isn't this a little peach blossom? He is the child of the eldest brother's family. He looked sallow and thin, and looked like a child who had been malnourished for a long time. Tang Xiaoman thought of inviting Little Taohua to eat beggar's chicken together.

Tang Xiaoman gestured with her hands, telling Xiao Taohua to keep her voice down, and then pulled her to the stove.

Xiaoman said to Xiao Taohua: "Third Aunt will treat you to something delicious later, but you have to remember to keep this matter a secret, okay?"

When Little Peach Blossom heard the delicious food, her two big grape-like eyes shone brightly. She nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, third aunt, I won't tell anyone! This is a secret between the two of us!"

Tang Xiaoman used a wooden stick to dig out the mud-wrapped chicken from the stove, peeled off the outer layer of mud, and then tore open the wrapped lotus leaves, golden yellow with a fragrant smell. The chicken was presented in front of the two people.

Looking at the golden-brown chicken, Xiao Taohua's mouth drooled.

Tang Xiaoman tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Xiao Taohua: "Here, eat it!"
