The Wang family was naturally happy that the Zhao family ended up like this. Wang Zhuangzhi went directly to the butcher shop and bought ten kilograms of pork belly, went to the wine shop to buy two kilograms of fine wine, and went to the grain shop to buy some peanuts and melon seeds.

The owner who just bought two red fish paid a deposit of 50 yuan, but Wang Zhuangzhi did not intervene. Erya kept the money.

With money, Erya happily ran to the jewelry store. The various hairpins in the store were very beautiful, but there was no one to help her choose. Her father and younger brother were both men, so she didn't buy them.

Anyway, I have to deliver fish tomorrow, and my little sister’s face is fine. Then I’ll let my mother and little sister pick out some jewelry together.

……

It was already past noon when the carriage rushed home. Liu Zhihua looked at the large and small bags on the carriage and thought that the boss spent too much money on the things he bought.

"Don't you still have meat at home? One pound of pork belly can equal three pounds of bone meat, and you didn't even mention weighing some separately." Liu Zhihua nagged dissatisfiedly.

With a smile on his face, Wang Zhuangzhi pulled his wife aside and whispered a few words.

Liu Zhihua was stunned for a moment, then took the leader's hand and asked excitedly: "Really?"

Wang Zhuangzhi smiled and nodded, "It's absolutely true. It was already difficult to pay back the money after losing the goods. Now it's involved in an official case. Selling official salt privately is a serious crime. This time the Zhao family can't stand up, and neither can our family.

No need to live in fear anymore."

"Ouch! Great, I should buy some meat to celebrate..."

Liu Zhihua was completely relieved now. She happily ran to start the pot and start the stove, preparing to stew the soft and glutinous braised pork.

Jiaojiao saw her mother preparing to light a fire to cook, and asked in confusion: "Mom, didn't you just have lunch?"

Xiao Li also ran over and said, "Mom, we ate wontons and meat buns in the town, and we're not hungry yet."

Liu Zhihua said while chopping the meat: "Mom is making dinner. If you want to eat soft and glutinous braised pork, you have to marinate and stew it in advance. I estimate it will take a few hours. It will get dark by the time it is stewed and tastes delicious. I will post it by then."

Make a few corn tortillas, make a pot of egg drop soup, and pickle delicious hot and sour cabbage, and you’ll be full.”

After hearing what mother said, Xiao Li and Jiaojiao both swallowed. The braised pork cooked by mother was very fragrant. A large piece of sugar-colored fried meat was translucent, soft and glutinous. One bite of meat was a mouthful of corn tortillas and spicy cabbage, not to mention how fragrant they were.

Drinking a bowl of warm egg drop soup makes me greedy just thinking about it.

At this time, Erya walked out of the house. The cotton skirt she was wearing was replaced by a coarse linen dress, and she tied a piece of cloth on her head.

"Sister, why are you dressed like this?" Xiao Li pointed at the clothes and said.

Erya walked over while rolling up her sleeves and replied: "You little fool, didn't you see that my mother was chopping meat? It's designated for stew."

In the past, my family didn’t eat meat much throughout the year. When I went to town to buy a small piece of meat, I had to marinate it and eat it several times. Only when braised pork was cooked during the Chinese New Year, my mother would chop the meat directly. So today I must make braised pork.

Meaty.

After that, Erya happily shouted towards the kitchen: "Mom, let me help boil the water."

Liu Zhihua, who was chopping meat in the kitchen, heard this and shouted: "I'm not busy. It's still early now. You can go play with your brothers and sisters. Mom can be alone."

Erya looked at the backyard. After freshening up, there was nothing to play there. There was no need for a pond. It was not as fun as watching her mother chop and cook meat.

Erya hugged her little sister and kissed her, and then told Xiaoli: "Xiaoli, sister, go help mother, so that we can eat braised pork earlier. You and Jiaojiao go to play, remember to protect your sister."

Let’s bump into it.”

Jiaojiao hugged her sister and said in a sweet voice: "Sister, Jiaojiao also wants to help."

Xiao Li also raised his hand excitedly, "Sister, I want to help carry firewood."

No matter what Erya said, the two little guys wanted to help, but Erya took her younger siblings back to the house and helped them put on old clothes, otherwise the new clothes would be stained with oil in the kitchen and difficult to wash.

The four mothers were cooking in the house, while Wang Zhuangzhi was cleaning the carriage and feeding the horses outside.

The newly bought carriage is a treasure. Every time you come back from an outing, you must clean the carriage inside and out, and wash and groom the horses. After so many days, the carriage is still like new, and the horses are no worse than those raised by professional grooms.

……

At the same time,

Xiaoshu Village.

Outside the Wang family's old mud house, a carriage slowly stopped.

"Madam Wang, we have arrived."

The coachman jumped off the carriage, brought down a wooden box, placed it on the ground, and then opened the curtain.

Yingniang, who was dressed in an apricot brocade robe, stepped out of the car on a wooden box. She originally looked happy, but when she saw the residence in front of her clearly, she was stunned.

"Mom, my feet are numb. Please give me a hand."

Yingniang came to her senses and turned around to help her daughter down.

Wang Liu'er, who was wearing a pink skirt, had a black face as soon as her feet touched the ground. Her newly bought shoes were covered with a layer of dust, but she didn't dare to get angry because her mother was by her side.

She raised her eyes and looked around, looking at the rural and rustic place, she simply covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, the disgust in her eyes was obvious.

"Mom, how come my third uncle and his family live here? It's even more shabby than my grandmother's home."

After hearing her daughter's words, Ying Niang looked at the simple fence, the pitted earth yard, and the four yellow mud houses. She looked at the patchwork of straw on the roof, and the water stains on the outer wall.

The cracked wooden door is crumbling...

Will Third Brother and Zhihua live here?

My husband's house is a large courtyard with three entrances. The courtyard in the village is naturally not as grand as the courtyard in Ancheng, but it is a hundred times better than the courtyard in front of me.

The two cannot be compared at all.

Seeing the two of them staring at the courtyard, the coachman kindly reminded: "Madam Wang, this house is covered with dust. The owner must have moved away."

Wang Liu'er heard that she took the opportunity to persuade her mother: "Mom, the third uncle and the third aunt should not live here anymore. Why don't we go to the town first? Didn't we meet the third uncle, the third aunt and the others in the town last time, and Wan'er's letter

She said she would be passing by here in the next two days, so I went to town in advance to prepare some toiletries for her so that she wouldn’t be in a panic when she comes."

After hearing her daughter's words, Yingniang sighed and said, "We have already reached the door of our house. Let's find someone to find out where your third uncle and three aunt are now. It's not easy for us to come back. After this time, we don't know when the next time will be."

Come back."

Wang Liuer curled her lips, "Mother, Wan'er is an honored guest, how can we delay."

Ying Niang glanced at her daughter, and her scolding words stopped on her lips. Seeing this, the coachman winked and hurriedly smiled and said: "Madam Wang, please go and relieve yourself."

After the coachman left, Ying Niang looked at her daughter seriously and lectured in a low voice: "Mrs. Sun just invited you to her home for tea twice. The eldest son of the Sun family doesn't even know who you are. Even if you are on good terms with Sun Wan'er,

, she has a maid and a mother-in-law by her side, so there is no need for you, an outsider, to take care of her."

If she hadn't been raised since she was a child, she would have doubted whether this was her Yingniang's daughter, whose temperament was nothing like hers. She invited her husband to teach her as a tutor for two years, and she could read and write. How could she be so stupid?
