Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 22
The two stopped tearing each other up, and began to speak out in unison.Scolding Li Zhu and referring to Sang and scolding Aunt Li Huai.

"This heartless white-eyed wolf, I brought her up with shit and piss. She has never been filial to me, and she always picks things up. She has a black heart and a rotten bone. No wonder her life is not good..."

Li Zhu listened to Liu scolding her aunt face to face, and said with a sneer, "You take care of her? You must have abused her. Who knows who is evil."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scolded for more than half an hour, and finally Li Ji came out to stop him. He stopped it not because of Li Zhu, but because he thought it was noisy.

Li Zhu was fined not to eat that night.It doesn't matter to her either.When the family members were all asleep, she went to the kitchen and quietly ate some corn bread.By the way, I also took some salt, fire pockets and a few steamed buns.

At dawn the next day, Li Zhu was called up to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and kill pigweeds.

Without saying a word, Li Zhu turned around and left with a big basket on his back.

On this day, Li Zhu lived happily on the mountain.

She first caught a pheasant with Lingquan, she found a place to make a fire and barbecue, sprinkled with salt, and the roast was delicious.She ate a round belly and left a drumstick wrapped in leaves.I ate a grilled fish in the afternoon.Drink some mountain spring water when you are thirsty.It would be great if there is a pot, you can stew meat and cook fish soup.

She wandered around the mountain all day, looking at the scenery, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and surveying the terrain.When it was getting late, she slowly went home with half a basket of wild vegetables on her back.

When he got to the entrance of the village, he happened to run into Wang Xiaocui who was driving the sheep home.

As soon as Wang Xiaocui saw her, she called out, "Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu."

She ran over, and Xiaocui pulled her and kept saying, "I heard that you are back, I went to your house to look for you after breakfast, I didn't expect you to go up the mountain so early."

After the two talked for a while, Li Zhu handed Wang Xiaocui a chicken leg wrapped in leaves. "This is for you."

Wang Xiaocui looked surprised: "Where did you get it?"

Li Zhu only said that he happened to meet a wounded pheasant on the mountain, so he roasted it and ate it.

Wang Xiaocui was envious of her good luck, but at the same time felt a little regretful: "You just baked it like that, and there was no salt or oil. It would taste better when you take it home and stew it. You can sell it." She quickly thought of Li Zhu's house. In this situation, he hurriedly changed his words: "The roast is good, did you not eat in the morning?"

Li Zhu said that she was full from eating roast chicken, and asked her not to say anything.Wang Xiaocui readily agreed to her request.The two talked for a while and then separated.

Back home, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Liu were very dissatisfied with Li Zhu's harvest for the day, so they inevitably scolded him again.That night, they did not punish Li Zhu not to eat dinner.Probably because she was afraid that she would starve to death and lose money.
