Chapter 35

Wanniang was woken up by the crying of the child.

The doors and windows of the house were closed, and the room was very dark. She got up and opened the window partition, and the pale sky was seen outside the window.

Deng's voice came from the yard: "What time is it? The water in the water tank is almost used up, and the second brother hasn't gotten up yet to fetch water."

Cai was coaxing her crying daughter, walking up and down with her in her arms, deliberately walked to the side room and said, "Maybe I'm too tired to get up."

Deng slammed the water spoon and said, "Then what should I do? If there is water for cooking, then there will be no water for washing dishes."

"It's none of your business if there's no water for washing the dishes, it's the second sibling's business now."

Cai went back to her natal family yesterday, and brought back two bags of wheat flour with a donkey. Her status in Wu's family suddenly rose, and the whole family praised her and said a few words to her natal family during the meal.

As for the second bedroom's silence, Mrs. Cai remembered it in her heart.

So what about Miss Qianjin, so what if she married Miss Qianjin.

Didn't she have to rely on her to eat wheat buns.

Wan Niang in the room tightened her lips, where did Wu Erlang go?
Should she tell them that Erlang is not in the room?

Just when she was about to go out, Cai's voice sounded again in the yard: "Huh? Erlang, why did you come back from outside? Where did you go so early in the morning?"

Then came Deng's raised voice: "Hey, brother, are you hunting now? You have caught so many prey!"

There was a din of surprise followed by the sound of steady, strong footsteps.

Wan Niang opened the door and looked out, and saw Wu Erlang returning with a few rabbits and pheasants with a spear.

Seeing Wanniang getting up, Wu Erlang ignored Cai's and Deng's inquiries, put the prey on the pier outside the room and said to Wanniang, "I'm going back to the house today, and I'll bring these back to my foster father later." mother."

He has no money and can't afford gifts, so he can only hunt some prey as a return gift.

Wanniang blinked her big eyes and looked at the prey on the pier in surprise. Both the hare and the pheasant were tied with straw ropes, and they were still alive.

Lifting his eyes and seeing the blue color in Wu Erlang's eyes, he knew it in his heart.

"You went out without sleep last night?"

"Well, uh..." Wu Erlang, who was just about to nod his head, remembered that she had just told him yesterday that he wanted to combine work and rest, so he immediately changed his mouth: "I'm asleep, I woke up early and went into the mountains."

Wanniang suspected that he was lying.

Wu Erlang avoided her scrutinizing gaze, turned around and took a big brick to hold down the end of the thick rope that tied the prey, lest the hare and pheasant struggle to frighten her.

After handling the prey, I went to look at the water tank, and found that there was no water, so I turned around and said to Wan Niang, "I'll wash up later, I'll fetch water first."

He picked up the bucket neatly and walked out of the yard quickly.

Mrs. Cai stood at the door of the kitchen and clicked tut twice: "Erlang actually treats the Hua family as a relative, and he worked so hard to hunt in the middle of the night to please him, and he has never cared so much for his mother!"

"What cares? Who cares what?" Mrs. Wu came out of the house and asked quietly when she saw the three daughter-in-laws in the yard.

Mrs. Deng, who was holding a fire stick, quickly pointed it out to her: "Second brother went hunting, and he caught several hares and pheasants!"

When Mrs. Wu saw the prey tied up on the pier, her brows and eyes widened. There really were several of them!

Eat one, sell a few, and get money again today.

Before Mrs. Wu could decide whether to make braised rabbit or stewed pheasant soup, Mrs. Cai poured cold water on her.

"Erlang said that today he is going back home, and the prey he kills will be used to honor the Hua family."

"What? Go back to the door? Which door to go back to?" Mrs. Wu suddenly looked at Wan Niang standing at the door with sharp eyes.
