Chapter 6

Zhao Jin'er thought that no one cared about her life or death. After hearing what Mrs. Qin said, she held back the tears for a long time and finally rolled down her face.

"I, I shouldn't have wandered around. Uncle, are they back?"

Old Mrs. Qin shook her head, "It's not even close, it's going to be dark, so I should be back soon. Just come back, just come back! You're scared, go back and have a bowl of hot tea to calm down!"

On the way home, he babbled again, "From noon to afternoon, the whole family is as anxious as a dustpan! If something happens to you in the mountains, how can we explain to your uncle and aunt?"

Zhao Jin'er bit her lip tightly and wanted to say that when I was at my uncle's house, I was lost in the mountains until midnight, and no one found me...

Entering the house, I saw Wang Fengying and her daughter-in-law Liu Meiyu, and her daughter Qin Pearl walking back and forth in the yard.

"If I had known earlier, I would have taken her with me. Who knew she was so stupid that she could get lost in the mountains and never come back!" Wang Fengying muttered.

Liu Meiyu caught a glimpse of Mrs. Qin and Zhao Jin'er at the door, and quickly tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Wang Fengying looked up and was startled. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhao Jin'er had both beard and tail.

But he complained, "You are too delicate. You can fight like this even in the mountains. How can your family dare to ask you to do things in the future?"

Qin Zhenzhu muttered, "They say she is a bad guy, but Naifei doesn't believe it!"

Zhao Jin'er didn't dare to reply, and huddled behind Mrs. Qin with a guilty conscience.

Old Mrs. Qin knew that Zhao Jin'er had made the whole family anxious all afternoon and could not help her, so she said nothing.

Liu Meiyu, who always looked like a gourd, pinched her nose and said, "Did someone wet their pants? Why is our yard suddenly so noisy?"

Everyone was so anxious just now that they didn't notice it. When Liu Meiyu reminded them, they all pinched their noses.

"Yeah, why does it smell so strong!"

Old Mrs. Qin was closest to Zhao Jin'er, "Jin girl, why does this smell like you?"

I couldn't help but feel distressed for a while, and the eldest daughter was so frightened that she peed her pants.

Zhao Jin'er was so ashamed that she quickly took out the dead fox from the basket.

"It's because of its arrogance. I saw that its arrogance could drive away wolves, so I carried it on my back to defend myself. I dug a hole at the west end of the village and buried it."

Mrs. Qin's eyes shone when she saw every trace of damage to the fox's shiny fur except for a wound on its neck.

"What a nonsense! Wait until your uncle comes back to peel off the skin and send it to the fur shop in town. He can sell it for two bucks!"

Last winter, I opened my bow and shot a fox, which even scratched its stomach. I heard that it was sold for several taels of silver!

Wang Fengying also knew this and nodded repeatedly, "Fox skins can be sold for money."

Mrs. Qin laughed happily and patted Zhao Jin'er's thin shoulder.

"Our Jin girl seems to be unlucky, but she is very lucky at heart. How come she is the bad luck star? I think she is a lucky star!"

Zhao Jin'er accidentally brought back such a beautiful fox skin. Even if her husband and son went into the mountains to find it and haven't come back yet, Wang Fengying wouldn't be able to say anything.

Only Qin Zhenzhu curled her lips, "The broom star has been transferred? I don't believe it!"

Mrs. Qin glared at her, "If you keep your mouth dirty, I won't tear your mouth apart! It's already dark, and you guys have been busy at home. Have you cooked dinner or boiled hot water? Men are waiting.

I’m about to come back from the meeting, and I’ve delayed them from eating so I don’t want to curse!”

Qin Zhenzhu was very depressed. Not because of the broom star, everyone was so anxious that they couldn't think of cooking.

Nai is such an old fool, protecting her like this!

"Hurry up and boil the water and kill the goose. The whole family will have a hard time today and have a good meal of meat in the evening!" Old Mrs. Qin ordered.

A few women started killing geese in the yard. The whole family knew how to live well. If a goose was killed, not a single hair was wasted.

The blood was drained and coagulated, and the hair was washed and dried aside. When it was dry, the hair tubes were removed. I could make a semi-thick down vest for the boss's daughter Miaomiao. The heart, liver, lungs, and intestines were also washed with flour.

Pickle it, wait for it to dry, add a handful of dried locust flowers left in spring and put it on top of the rice and steam it, it will be so fragrant that your eyebrows will fall off.

Wang Fengying took out the chopping board and chopped the wild goose into two halves in the yard, "Now let's braise half of it, and let the other half get wind."

Although Mrs. Qin didn't like Wang Fengying's mouth, this daughter-in-law was really good at keeping things quiet, so she nodded, "You can make the decision."

In order to worry everyone, Zhao Jin'er had been working in a muffled voice without daring to speak. Then he suddenly tugged at the corner of Mrs. Qin's clothes and said, "Miscellaneous..."

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"Axiu is weak, and the meat braised in oil is heavy. He may not be able to digest it. Can you pick up two pieces of meat and stew some clear soup for him?"

In the morning, Qin Muxiu said that he had little appetite and indigestion, and Zhao Jiner took it to heart.

The grandson's daughter-in-law was so concerned about her grandson's health. How could Mrs. Qin be unwilling? She immediately said, "Fengying, bring a small earthen pot to stew some clear soup for Ah Xiu and Miaomiao."

Wang Fengying was about to find her two words too troublesome, but she stopped talking when she heard that her mother-in-law had not forgotten her granddaughter.
