Chapter 6
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, several villagers burst into laughter.
Qiao Lianlian also pursed his lips and smiled, but there was a bit of coldness in his eyes.
Little Gu Ge didn't understand why everyone was laughing, and curiously grabbed Qiao Lianlian's clothes.
The three brothers in the room widened their eyes in fright, for fear that Qiao Lianlian would kick the little girl down in anger.
Unexpectedly, Qiao repeatedly bent down to hug Gu Ge, and even kissed her on the cheek.
What a clever little ghost, but I remembered it after teaching it once, and the timing of coming out was just right.
"You...what are you laughing at?" Aunt Zhang was confused, and looked around for some reason.
Qiao Lian squinted at her, "Auntie, don't listen to the wind and the rain next time. It's better to find out before you touch porcelain. This time I picked up a black sheep, pure black."
"That's right, that sheep's fur is pretty good, it makes a good black leather jacket." An old hunter praised loudly.
Qiao Lianlian's words were confirmed.
Aunt Zhang was dumbfounded at first, then blushed like a fire, and ran out with her second son.
It's really embarrassing to throw it at grandma's house.
Qiao Lianlian didn't bother to care about this. She politely invited the villagers to stay for dinner, but everyone waved their hands and refused.
There is a widow in the family, and it is rare to get some meat for the children to eat. It would be really shameless for them to watch the fun again.
After seeing everyone off, Qiao Lianlian locked the door and went to the kitchen.
Gu Que was still lighting the fire, and when he saw her coming in, his eyes were a little wandering.
Qiao Lian glanced at the corner of her reddish mouth, knowing that she had eaten it secretly, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he took out the salt shaker and sprinkled two spoonfuls of salt into the pot.
No matter how fragrant the mutton is, it is delicious without seasoning with salt.
"Don't worry, since the meat is made, I'm sure you'll have enough." Qiao Lianlian said flatly while stirring the salt evenly with a spatula.
Gu Que's cheeks flushed suddenly, she lowered her head without saying a word.
After another ten minutes or so, Qiao Lian guessed that the smell of salt had been sucked in, so he opened the lid of the pot and sprinkled the chopped shallots on it.
The fragrance of the mutton is stimulated by the green onion, combined with the faint smell of mutton, the smell alone has already fascinated several children who have not had a full meal for a long time.
Qiao Lianlian didn't pick the rope, and directly filled a bowl for each of them, which really made them full.
And then - the Gu family's latrine was suddenly not enough.
The stomach that has not been soaked in oil and water for a long time suddenly ate a big meat dish, and it would be strange not to pull it a few times.
Qiao repeatedly reminded a few children, but seeing them eating meat like crazy, even with Gu Cheng's steady temperament, she couldn't bear to stop them.
Eat it, eat it, eat more in the future, and your stomach will get used to it.
After the meal, Gu Que couldn't stand up anymore. Qiao Lianlian collected the bowls and chopsticks and the leftover meat slowly, and looked at the sheepskin.
It's true that she can get meat, but she can't eat meat all at once, she has to sell the sheepskin while it's hot, and buy some rice and noodles.
According to the original owner's memory, Gu's Village belongs to Xiyang Town. There are markets and streets in the town, and there are people who specialize in collecting all kinds of good-looking leathers.
The only bad thing is that this town is a bit far away, with an area of [-] miles. Most people go to the market by donkey cart, and it costs one penny per person, which is not expensive.
Unfortunately, this family seems to have lost a penny...
Qiao Lian had the expression of having eaten bitter melon, she was very proud, she glanced in the direction of the neighbor's house, gritted her teeth, put a bowl of mutton in the pot, and knocked on the door of Aunt Liu's house.
"Hey, it belongs to the third family, you are..." Aunt Liu was a little surprised.
She just borrowed some seasonings, so she didn't expect the old three's family to return the meat.
Ordinary neighbors don't don't give each other meals, but most of the dishes have some meat momo in it, which is very good, unlike the current bowl, which is really all meat.
"Auntie, the family just killed a sheep, I'll give you a bowl to try." Qiao Lian smiled and handed the bowl over.
Aunt Liu refused again and again, she felt that her seasoning was not worth a bowl of meat, but Qiao insisted on giving it, so she had no choice but to take the bowl of meat.
In the end, Qiao Lianlian told the truth in embarrassment, "Auntie, I killed the sheep and ate the meat, and the leather left is quite good. I heard that there are people in Xiyang Town who collect the leather. I want to sell it for money. But the family doesn't even have travel expenses, can you lend me some money?"
Aunt Liu was taken aback.
The uncle of the Liu family behind her yelled directly, "I said that the weasel didn't have a good intention to give the chicken New Year's greetings. It turned out that it was put aside later. There is no money, and we have no money."
Qiao Lian pursed his lips, and sighed insignificantly, "If that's the case, then I'll disturb Auntie."
She turned around and left, completely without the unreasonableness of the past, and the grievance and shrinking when she first married into the Gu family, and even the corners of her eyes were not disappointed, as if everything in front of her was predictable.
Inexplicably, Aunt Liu softened her heart.
"and many more."
It is not easy for a woman to raise five children. Aunt Liu is also a woman and understands women's suffering best. "How much do you want to borrow from the third family? Let me tell you first, Auntie still has a big family to support, and I don't have much spare money." .”
Qiao Lianlian happily said, "One penny will do."
Uncle Liu, who was about to stop his attack, stayed where he was.
Even Aunt Liu opened her mouth slightly, her eyes widened, and it took her a long time to find her voice, "A...a penny?"
"I want to go to the market by car, but I don't have the money to take the car, and my family can't even get a penny." Qiao Lianlian explained with some embarrassment.
Aunt Liu was dumbfounded, and after a while, she handed the meat bowl to Uncle Liu, ran to find twenty Wen coins, and stuffed them into Qiao Lianlian's hands, "Good boy, take the money and use it first, Aunt Lili Little Weibo can only help you so much."
When Qiao Lianlian came back from Liu's house, the children had no diarrhea, but due to eating too much, except for Gu Cheng and Gu Que, the other three children were lying on the bed staggeringly, looking weak.
There was a little narrowness in her heart, and she deliberately coughed at the door.
Immediately, the children sat up straight as if they had been stung by bees. Even Gu Ge didn't dare to shake his head, and looked over obediently.
"That..." Qiao repeatedly squeezed the twenty cents that were still warm in his palm, and said with a smile, "I'm going to the market to sell leather. Does anyone want to go with me?"
All the children were silent.
They were all terrified and hated this stepmother so much, they wished they would never see her again, how could they go out with her.
The ghost knows if the stepmother is planning to beat them outside, make them do heavy work, or simply sell them.
The old house was eerily quiet.
Gu Cheng and Gu Que glanced at each other. They were older and thought a lot. They were afraid that their stepmother would get angry again, and hesitated whether to sacrifice themselves and let it go.
At this moment, Gu Ge, the youngest among the children, looked left and right, and slowly jumped off the bed.
