Jiang Ning saw Rhubarb's moist eye sockets, then looked at the wound on its body that was hit by Lin Zhuzhu, and tried to get close to it.

Seeing Rhubarb approaching her, she didn't show repulsion, she suddenly stood in front of Rhubarb, and blocked Lin Zhuzhu from throwing stones at it.

"Lin Zhenzhu, it has been in your house for so long, even if it doesn't listen to you now, you won't kill it, right?"

Although Jiang Ning is afraid of dogs, dogs are also living beings. She cannot just watch Rhubarb being crushed to death by Lin Zhuzhu.

Lin Zhenzhu ignored Rhubarb's sadness, and said coldly, "It's just a beast. I can treat it as I want. It doesn't listen to its master now. Even if I kill it, you have nothing to do with it."

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhenzhu looked around, took out a thick wooden stick from under the earthen wall, and walked viciously to Rhubarb.

"Bastard, even you want to fight against me, I think you are itchy?" Lin Zhenzhu didn't dare to do anything to Jiang Ning, and could only vent all her anger on Rhubarb.

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhenzhu raised the wooden stick in her hand and hit Rhubarb hard.

Jiang Ning quickly caught the wooden stick with her eyes, "If you have the ability to deal with me by yourself, and let a dog vent your anger, what kind of a hero are you?"

"Relax, I take care of my animals, can you take care of them?"

At first, Lin Zhenzhu was angry that Rhubarb didn't listen to her, but later because Jiang Ning was protecting Rhubarb, she became even more angry, and she must teach Rhubarb a lesson in front of Jiang Ning.

Take a breath!
Jiang Ning wanted to say something, but Lin Zhenzhu threw away the stick, picked up a big stone from under her feet, and smashed it directly at Rhubarb.

"rhubarb--"

Jiang Ning didn't have time to stop, so she could only shout to remind Rhubarb.

In the end, Rhubarb avoided the stone in Lin Zhuzhu's hand, and Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Rhubarb's evasion angered Lin Zhenzhu even more.

Lin Zhenzhu walked closer to Rhubarb, and raised her foot to kick Rhubarb.

At this time, Rhubarb seemed to be unable to bear Lin Zhenzhu, and it showed its sharp fangs at Lin Zhenzhu.

Lin Zhuzhu was taken aback, and asked nervously: "Bastard, you dare to show your fangs to me, do you want to bite me? Today I..."

Just as Lin Zhenzhu was about to attack Da Huang again, Da Huang rushed towards Lin Zhenzhu and threw her to the ground.

But it just bared its fangs to scare her, it didn't bite her.

Lin Zhenzhu thought that Rhubarb was going to bite her, so she pushed Rhubarb away in fright and ran away, cursing Rhubarb while running.

Seeing Rhubarb chasing Lin Zhuzhu and running away, Jiang Ning had no choice but to continue to settle accounts with Lin Zhuzhu, so she had to leave.

...

In the evening, Jiang Ning stewed bone soup for Shen Heping, put some pieces of wax gourd in it, steamed rice, and fried a vegetable.

Winter melon and green vegetables are grown by ourselves.

In the past few days, Jiang Ning frequently went in and out of the stove, only to find that there were a lot of winter melons, pumpkins, sweet potatoes and the like piled up in the corner of the stove.

Every household here grows vegetables, and also raises some chickens and ducks, and some people know how to raise pigs.

It's just because the family has a large population, and there is not much food that can be distributed to everyone's mouth, so it can only be enough to fill the stomach.

Some save a little and even eat meat only once in several months. Only Shen Heping can earn a lot of money before, and Jiang Ning can live a nourishing life.

Jiang Ning carefully compiled the family's food, including Xu Cuihua's previous compensation, the family's food can last for several months.

Shen Heping has lost her job, and her family has no source of income. The 558 yuan in her hand is their family's belongings.

Shen Heping buys the seeds and fertilizers that the family sows every year, and this year is definitely no exception. After taking away the money, she doesn't have much left.

Thinking of this, she had to scold the former Jiang Ning in her heart again, for not knowing how to plan ahead, and giving Shen Heping's salary to Wang Bifang's mother and son.

With a helpless sigh, it seems that she needs to think about some ways to make money.

After bringing the dinner to the table, she called Shen An and Shen Ning to eat, and then brought Shen Heping's share into the room.

Shen Heping was not used to lying on the bed all the time, he was not in a good mood, and the light in the room was not turned on.

Jiang Ning entered the room with the food, and muttered softly, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

"Power saving."

Jiang Ning didn't speak, turned on the light at the door, and then approached Shen Heping with bone winter melon soup and rice.

"time to eat."

Shen Heping glanced at her stewed soup, reached out to take it, took a sip and it tasted good, and then finished it again.

Jiang Ning took the empty bowl in his hand, put it on the small table in the room, and directly took the chopsticks to pick up vegetables and planned to feed him.

Shen Heping stared at her blankly.

"You hurt your right hand, you can drink soup, but it's inconvenient to eat, I'll feed you."

It was the first time for Shen Heping to be fed by someone, and he couldn't move anywhere, and he couldn't open his mouth.

Seeing that his face turned red suddenly, Jiang Ning said deliberately: "Are you still embarrassed?"

Shen Heping didn't speak.

Jiang Ning put the food in his mouth again, "You became like this to save me. You are my savior, so I should feed you."

Shen Heping raised his eyes to look at the resolute her, suppressed all the frustration and opened his mouth.

Jiang Ning was serious about feeding, and Shen Heping was serious about eating.

Seeing that the bowl of rice had bottomed out, Shen Heping suddenly asked, "Are you still on a diet and don't eat dinner?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Shen Heping glanced at her inadvertently, and finally said before bowing his head to eat: "You haven't eaten for several days, and I haven't seen how thin you are."

Jiang Ning: "..."

People who lose weight are most afraid of this kind of blow, and it is easy to give up.

She pretended not to care about Shen Heping's words, and once again firmly expressed her attitude, "There is no one who can lose weight so quickly, you have to persist to see the effect."

The corners of Shen Heping's mouth twitched slightly, and he admired her for saying that. He felt that the current Jiang Ning was much smarter than the previous Jiang Ning.

There are even more ways to anger him.

Without saying anything, he continued to eat.

After eating a bowl of rice, Jiang Ning asked, "Do you want more?"

"full."

"Oh."

Jiang Ning was about to clean up the dishes, when she suddenly looked up and found that Shen Heping had rice grains on her mouth. Without thinking about it, she reflexively reached out to help Shen Heping pick up the rice grains.

As soon as she pressed her warm fingertips to the corner of Shen Heping's mouth, Shen Heping's body trembled slightly as if she had been shocked by an electric shock.

However, Jiang Ning didn't notice anything, only rice grains in her eyes.

Shen Heping rolled his Adam's apple, and suddenly felt hot and thirsty all over his body.

It wasn't until Jiang Ning left the room with an empty bowl that the heat in Shen Heping's body faded away.

Jiang Ning washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and went to see Shen An and Shen Ning before returning to her room.

Shen Heping lay on his side, leaving a large space for Jiang Ning.

Without taking off her clothes, Jiang Ning turned off the light and went to bed, lying beside Shen Heping.

In the dark room, only the breathing of the two could be heard.

After a long silence, Shen Heping suddenly said, "Jiang Ning, are you asleep?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"I... want to go to the latrine."

Jiang Ning: "..."

She only cared about taking care of Shen Heping to eat, and forgot that he was going to the latrine.

The latrine is in the east wing, and it is only a few steps away from their room, but now Shen Heping has injured a leg, so it is inconvenient to go to the latrine.

She thought about it, and asked tentatively, "How about I bring you a small basin?"

Shen Heping: "..."

Shen Heping likes to be clean, and he usually pays much attention to it. Let him urinate in front of Jiang Ning in the room. Where does this put his old face?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Ning smiled to ease his embarrassment, "We are a couple, so why not be embarrassed, just wait, I'll get you a small basin."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Ning got out of bed and turned on the light, then went to the kitchen, found an old small basin, and put it beside Shen Heping.

After glancing at Xiaopen, she looked at Shen Heping again, "Do you need my help?"

Urinating on the bed is enough to embarrass him, why does he need Jiang Ning's help?
"You go out first."

"Then you are good to call me."

"Ah."

Jiang Ning left the room and helped Shen Heping close the door by the way.

After waiting outside the door for a few minutes, she heard Shen Heping calling her in.

After Jiang Ning entered the room, she packed up the small basin without saying a word, and after cleaning it, she returned to the room, turned off the lights and lay down next to Shen Heping.

In order not to embarrass Shen Heping, she didn't say a word the whole time, as if nothing happened just now.

Shen Heping couldn't calm down for a long time, and always felt that something had changed between him and Jiang Ning.

Before he married Jiang Ning, it was only because of what happened back then.

Later, because of her affairs with Liu Huaimin, she was pointed out by the villagers. He did not choose to divorce and reserved the last bit of dignity for her, making it difficult to tell the truth of this matter.

The villagers said it all, but seeing that Shen Heping hadn't divorced Jiang Ning, they couldn't be sure whether the matter between her and Liu Huaimin was true or not.

Half of what he did was because of what happened back then, and the other half was because she was his wife, and he should trust her and protect her.

Besides, Jiang Ning also explained that there was nothing between him and Liu Huaimin. Although he said he didn't believe Jiang Ning, he still wanted to believe Jiang Ning in his heart.

Hearing Jiang Ning's well-proportioned breathing, Shen Heping suffered from insomnia for the first time because of Jiang Ning.

...

The next day, after Jiang Ning woke up, she took care of Shen Heping before going out for a run.

When passing by the entrance of the village, she saw Lin Xiaofang waiting for Liu Huaimin at the entrance of the village again, so she just took a look and continued to run forward.

It's been several days, and Liu Huaimin hasn't come back yet. Could it be that something happened in the city?
After thinking about it, she planned to find a chance to ask Liu Huaimin's parents.

After running a few laps, she went to the canteen in the village.

Shen Heping used a pot at home last night, and she had to buy a new pot to go home.

The owner of the canteen is an uncle in his 50s, and everyone in the village calls him Uncle Wu.

When Uncle Wu was looking for a basin for Jiang Ning, an old woman from the village came in a hurry.

The aunt didn't care to look at Jiang Ning, so she stood outside the canteen and shouted: "Old Wu, when are you going to the county to buy goods? Help me bring a few chickens at home to the county and sell them. When you grow up, it’s not easy to sell the price.”

Uncle Wu came out with a basin in his hand, and waved to the aunt, "I just went to the county to buy goods a few days ago, I won't be going these days, you can go to the county to sell it yourself!"

"I'll go to the county by myself, and I have to post the car fare. The little chickens can't be sold for a lot of money. It's not worth it."

"Then I can't help it, why don't you take a look at the town?"

"The town can't even sell the price." The aunt sighed helplessly, and said with a bitter face: "Forget it, forget it, I will raise it myself!"

These years, every household has to pay agricultural taxes, and the family does not have much spare food, so there is no surplus food to feed the extra chickens and ducks.

The aunt's chick can't be sold, so she keeps it for herself, and she has to share an extra ration. She is a little worried.

Jiang Ning thought of having a child in her family, and that Shen Heping was also sick now, so she simply turned her head to look at the aunt, "Auntie, how many chicks are there in your family?"

Hearing Jiang Ning calling her, the aunt noticed someone standing beside her.

Seeing that the person talking to her was Jiang Ning, the aunt came back to her senses and said, "Yo! It's Shen Heping's daughter-in-law. Why do you ask Xiaojizai? Do you want it?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

Seeing that her little chickens might be sold, the aunt smiled at Jiang Ning, "My family has ten little chickens, do you want them all?"

Jiang Ning summed it up. The little chick is still young, and there are still several months before it can lay eggs. The period for her to realize cash is a bit long.

but……

She changed her mind and thought of a better way to realize it.

She nodded to the aunt again, "I want it all."

"Oh, that's really great, then you come with me to my house now, and bring home ten little chicks."

"to make."

Uncle Wu handed the basin to Jiang Ning, and kindly reminded: "Daughter-in-law Heping, your Heping family has just lost their job. Why are you buying so many chicks now? The chicks are so small that they can't be eaten when they grow up." It’s not cost-effective to have less food.”

"Hey, what are you talking about, old Wu? If someone wants to buy it, do you want to persuade him not to buy it?" The aunt replied dissatisfied with Uncle Wu.

"You are a real person. I just kindly reminded Heping's daughter-in-law."

"If you want me to be nosy, you can't help me sell it, so why don't you let me sell it to someone else?"

"you……"

Jiang Ning interrupted Uncle Wu with a smile, "Thank you Uncle Wu for reminding me, I know it well, I bought it for my own use."

Seeing that Jiang Ning had said this, Uncle Wu stopped talking.

Jiang Ning bought a pot from Uncle Wu, and followed her aunt to her house to catch chicks.

Da Niang’s house is different from other houses in the village. It is a large earth-walled tile-roofed house with three rooms in four rows and a yard surrounded by three earth walls.

There are many chickens and ducks raised in the yard.

The aunt happily took Jiang Ning into the yard and brought her to Xiaojizai.

Ten little chickens were encircled in a small basket made of bamboo, and they were burying their heads in eating green grass.

The aunt stared at the lively little chickens and said, "Look how good my ten little chickens are. You will never find a better little chicken than these in our village."

Jiang Ning took a closer look at the little chicken, and she was indeed in good spirits.

"Auntie, how much do you plan to sell?"

The aunt rolled her eyes, looked Jiang Ning up and down several times, and then said, "You need to buy it in the town for three cents, and you can save the time of going to the town if you buy it from me. Shall I order some?

How about this!You give me fifty cents for one piece, and the total of ten is five yuan. What do you think? "

five yuan?
Jiang Ning couldn't help laughing, did the aunt really take her for a fool?
Although she is not from this era, she has a rough understanding of the prices of this era.

In this day and age, pork costs more than one catty per catty, and grain costs only a few cents per catty. My aunt wants to sell a small chicken for fifty cents.

She stared at the little chicken and smiled, then raised her eyes to the aunt, "Auntie, are you bullying me for not knowing the market?"
