Chapter 148 Catching Rabbits
Before he could defend Narcissus, his father insisted that Narcissus was lying. Looking at his father's determined expression in front of him, Wang Dahai felt a little powerless.
These are the parents he has always respected since he was a child?! They have always favored his eldest brother, making him feel safe and secure, because no matter what he does, his parents and younger brother will take care of it for him.
"You have to believe your eldest brother. Your wife must be lying to you. Go home now and divorce this bitch who is making false accusations!"
"Dad, you are only forty years old, how can you be old? You haven't even held your eldest brother's grandson yet."
After saying these words, Wang Dahai went home without even looking at the sickle on the ground.
Whoever wants to harvest this wheat can do so; he will not harvest it again.
Should he abandon Narcissus? She was at her most vulnerable, and he had to stay by her side and take care of her.
She was the girl he fell in love with at first sight!
As soon as he returned home, he saw his mother washing clothes, cursing and looking reluctant.
After seeing the clothes in the basin clearly, he realized that the words "bitch", "hen that can't lay eggs" and "low-born" were referring to his wife.
"Mom, you don't have to wash it. Just go and make some chicken soup." Wang Dahai had just borrowed a hen from his aunt.
His mother curled her lips, put down her clothes, and went to the kitchen to boil water. It seemed that her son had heard what she had just said when she scolded her daughter-in-law? !
Forget it. She is his mother anyway. How can he just want his wife and not his mother?
At noon, Mrs. Zhou tied up her dry hair, counted out five eggs from the kitchen, put them in a basket and carried them on her shoulder.
"Grandma, where are you going?" Zhou Mingshu saw that his grandma was about to go out.
"Your grandmother Yang and I went to see Dahai's wife. We just heard that she is back. Although she had a miscarriage, she has lost some health. I'll give her some eggs to help her recover."
So that's how it is. Zhou Mingshu wasn't interested in it. "Grandma, go ahead."
The beans in the vegetable garden had already been picked, and a lot of loofahs and eggplants had also been picked.
Not only could we not finish the beans, we could not finish the loofah and eggplant either.
Zhu suggested blanching the loofahs and drying them in the sun, but Zhou Mingshu quickly refused.
This vegetable cannot be dried because it contains a lot of water and is difficult to dry. If it is dried and then soaked, it will lose its original flavor and you won't be able to taste much of the flesh, just like winter melon.
Many people all over the country dry pumpkins, but I have never heard of drying winter melons.
In the end, I could only think of some new ways to eat more of this loofah.
However, what surprised Zhou Mingshu the most was the peppers in the corner, because they had borne fruit.
The peppers she planted were chili peppers, so the pepper fruits were raised one by one, and there were quite a lot of them, but they were still green. If she wanted to eat them, she would have to wait a few more days.
It has been a busy farming season these past two days, and the dust from the wheat straw was flying everywhere, covering the peppers with dust. Otherwise, she would have discovered it long ago.
"Brother and Xiaojie, where have you been? Why did you come back so late?" Zhou Mingqi's voice came from behind, followed by a voice of surprise.
"Wow, rabbits! So you went to catch rabbits." Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie came back with two rabbits each.
Zhou Mingqi walked forward, caught one and touched it. The snow-white fur made the rabbit look chubby, and the furry feel was addictive.
"I should have called Sandan along earlier. There are quite a few rabbits in this nest. It's a pity that we only caught four."
Zhou Mingjie's regretful voice startled the people in the yard.
"How many rabbits are there in this litter? How many escaped?"
"There were eight rabbits in total, including big rabbits and small rabbits. My brother and I caught two each, two ran away, and two were hit to death." Zhou Mingjie replied.
"What about the rabbit that was killed? Why didn't you bring it back?"
Isn't it just right to kill the rabbit? They can skin it and stew the rabbit meat.
"When we were catching rabbits, we met Uncle Laizi. He said he wanted to catch rabbits with us, so the three of us caught the rabbits together. Xiaojie and I wanted to catch live ones, so the dead ones were taken away by Uncle Laizi."
So that's how it is. Regardless of size, it's quite reasonable to give each person two.
Listening to Zhou Mingjie's description of the rabbit catching scene, Wang Laizi's contribution was not small, so it was quite worthwhile to share the big and small rabbits.
"If it weren't for Uncle Laizi's fire, we wouldn't have been able to catch this litter of rabbits." Zhou Mingjie smiled and stuffed the rabbits into the rabbit pen.
Children don’t understand the dirty tricks between adults at all. After catching rabbits together, they become good friends and call each other “uncle” all the time in a very affectionate manner.
When Old Mrs. Zhou and Old Mrs. Yang entered Wang Laizi's house carrying baskets, they saw Dahai washing clothes for his wife. Sitting at the kitchen door was Laizi's mother, plucking chicken feathers, presumably to make chicken soup for her daughter-in-law.
"Laizi's mother, we came to see how Narcissus was doing and brought her some eggs to nourish her body."
When she heard that eggs had been brought, Lai Zi's mother stopped what she was doing and quickly stood up to welcome the two old ladies to sit down.
"Come, come, sit down quickly. Narcissus is an unlucky child. She lost the baby. It's a waste of her two aunts coming to see her." It can be seen that Laizi's mother still has some resentment in her heart.
It's like this for all grandmothers. They want to hold their grandchildren, but the new grandchild flies away before he even gets warm. The grandmother must be very sad.
But having grandchildren still depends on luck and you can't be impatient.
The two began to persuade her, but no matter how much they tried, they were still outsiders and could not do anything for her.
The three of them sat together and talked for a while. Then Old Lady Zhou and Old Lady Yang came into the room to see how Narcissus was doing. Seeing that she was weak, they stopped her from talking and told her to lie down and rest.
Anyway, the eggs were delivered, which showed that the gift was sent, so the two of them thought about going home. After all, it was lunch time and it would not be good to stay any longer.
As the two were talking and about to leave, Wang Dahai put down his clothes to dry and stood up to see the two aunts off.
Before they reached the gate of the courtyard, they ran into Wang Laizi who was returning home.
Wang Laizi has changed his usual carefree style. At this moment, he is disheveled and looks a little haggard, with two weeds in his hair. He is holding two bloody rabbits in his hands. He looks as horrifying as it can be.
Before the two old ladies could adjust their expressions, a powerful fist blew past them.
Following Wang Laizi's scream, a man was seen flying out of the courtyard gate.
"Oh my god~" Old Mrs. Yang leaned against the door, trembling with fear and unable to speak.
Old Mrs. Zhou held her best friend's arm against the door and was also frightened by the scene before her.
Seeing her eldest son lying on the road after being beaten, Laizi's mother was unhappy and rushed over with a cry of "Ah~".
