Fast-crossing boss: save the sick, petite and pitiful

Chapter 45 The General's Vicious Wife ([-])

The woman's name is Wang Cui, and her population is very simple, just herself and her daughter Xiaonan.But her family's house is the only one at the entrance of the village, a green brick and tile house.There are two main rooms and one main room.

There are three small rooms on both sides of the main room. Except for one dedicated to storing grain, the other two small rooms are used for living.

Nan Wan occupies one room, and Wang Cui and her daughter Xiao Nan occupy one room.

On both sides of the main house are kitchens, where cooking is usually done.

Further outside, there is a small earth embryo house, which is specially used for raising pigs.

Now it is November and February, when the farming is slack.

There is nothing to do in the field, and people who are in a hurry start thinking about new jobs, such as raising pigs, cattle, chickens and ducks.

The price of chickens and ducks is extremely cheap, and they are generally raised at home to eat during the Chinese New Year.After the pigs are bred, they are sold and the price is extremely high.Cattle are used to plow the land.

"Sister-in-law Wang." A woman shouted outside the door: "Liu Ah Fatty's sow gave birth to a piglet, do you want to take one to raise?"

For farmers, raising pigs is a top priority.If the pigs are raised well, the income can be doubled several times.

No, just now the news has spread throughout the village.

"Sister-in-law Wang, someone called you at the door." Nan Wan glanced at the man through the window, then turned around and shouted.

"Here we come." Wang Cui threw down Xiao Nan's clothes, rubbed her hands together, then got up and walked out.

"Is there anyone else in your family?" Nahan, the woman calling at the door, asked.

Just now she heard a very strange voice.

"Don't you know? It's just the person I rescued by the river a month ago." Wang Cui tied a bamboo basket on her back nonchalantly.

With this mention, the woman also got an impression.

"If you ask me, you have a kind heart. How much food does such a big guy want to eat from you." The woman muttered in an injustice.

With Nanwan's figure, many young men were called to carry it back.

"She doesn't eat much." Wang Cui shook her head, "Plus, she helped me a lot."

"What can she help?" The woman sneered, "It looks like a pig's head, fat with big ears, and as stupid as a donkey."

When she said this, she deliberately raised her voice, and it looked like she was speaking to Nan Wan.

"Sister Liu, be careful with your words." Wang Cui was too lazy to talk to the other party, turned around and left.

She will not tell the other party that Nan Wan can read and write.You know, it is not easy for men and women to be literate these days.

With this ability alone, Nan Wan can go to the town to earn money at any time.

But Nan Wan didn't. Instead, she stayed to help her with the work and taught her daughter Xiao Nan to read.

For this, she would be happy to raise Nan Wan for the rest of her life.

"Hey, walk slowly." Seeing this, the woman hurriedly followed.

The relationship between her and Wang Cui is not as good as it seems on the surface. The reason why she called the other party this time has other thoughts.

The sound insulation is not good. Sitting in the room, Nan Wan can clearly hear the conversation between the two of them.

After a month of hard work, she is not as fat as before, but she is still not small, and her entire wrist is two rounds thicker than Wang Cui's.

"Sister." Xiao Nan stretched out her hand and tugged on the sleeve of Ra Nan's sleeve, "My mother is very kind."

"I know." Nan Wan patted her on the head, "I didn't blame your mother."

The other party didn't dislike her like everyone else, but instead gave her food and drink.

She is not a person without conscience, she remembers the other party's kindness clearly.

"Then let's keep reading, shall we?" Xiao Nan raised his head and looked at Nan Wan eagerly.

Yesterday, my mother praised her because she knew many characters that my mother didn't know.

As long as she continues to learn characters from Nan Wan, Mother will be happy from ear to ear every day.

"Okay." Nan Wan said in a gentle voice, "Let's continue writing."

Liu Afat's house.

"Xiao Cui, you're here." Fatty Liu, as his name suggests, is dark and fat.But he has a good personality, a wealthy family, and there are girls who like him.

But he only had Wang Cui in his heart, and even said that if Wang Cui married him, he would take care of Xiao Nan as his own daughter.

But Wang Cui didn't like him, no matter how nice he was to her, she politely refused.

"Yeah." Wang Cui responded indifferently, "I'll come and see the little piggy."

"Then let me help you choose." Liu Apang graciously brought out three fat and strong piglets for Wang Cui to choose from.

"Fatty Liu, you are so kind to Mrs. Wang. We both have the same surname Liu, so it doesn't mean that you are so polite to me." The woman who came with Wang Cui said cheerfully.

She is also a widow, and like Wang Cui, she has a daughter to support.She approached Liu Apang secretly and offered to marry him, but was rejected.

Isn't Wang Cui prettier than her?She has a strong body, and she is more fertile than the other party at first glance.That Liu Afat is simply blind.

"You can also choose together." Facing her, Liu Apang didn't have the good face before.

"Just this one!" Wang Cui said calmly, picking up the piglet in the middle.

"Okay." Liu Apang took the copper coins in her hand, without counting them, and threw them directly into the basket beside her.

"Xiao Cui, I heard that you picked up a fat woman." Liu Apang inquired casually, "A while ago, the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Mo family in Yuhua Village fell into the river and washed away. Is it possible that the person you rescued was that woman?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Mo family?"

"Impossible." Wang Cui shook her head and said, "She doesn't even have a copper coin in her whole body."

How could the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mo family wear such poor fabrics?
"That's right." Liu Apang sighed: "The Mo family is first-class rich."

"Okay, it's getting late, I have to go home and cook." Wang Cui put the little piglet into the bamboo basket and left without saying a word.

"I'll see you off." Liu Apang graciously sent the other party to the door.

This indifferent gesture made the woman's face turn blue with anger.

"Big sister, what do you want to cook today?" Wang Cui ran to the kitchen after finishing her work in the pigsty.

Since Nan Wan came here, she didn't have to do all the work like cooking and boiling water.

She usually does laundry, grows vegetables, and feeds chickens and ducks.

I don't know how leisurely it is.

Nan Wan washed the beans and millet in the pot, added water, and some spices, and put them into the pot to cook.

"Make winter melon soup."

As she spoke, she dug out the flesh of the wax gourd and discarded it, peeled it and cut it into pieces.

Wang Cui watched from the sidelines, occasionally stealing a teacher.

"Sister Wang, can you help me get the ginger?" Nan Wan quickly lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge with chopsticks.

"Okay." Wang Cui opened the underground jar and took out a large piece of ginger.After thinking about it, he opened another vegetable jar and grabbed a handful of capers.

Nan Wan took the ginger and skillfully chopped it into cubes.

Put the capers aside, planning to eat them with millet porridge later.

When the porridge was done, Nan Wan quickly scooped it up and put it into a big bowl.Then wash the pot with clean water, put the oil and stew the winter melon soup.

Winter melon soup needs star anise seasoning, and Nanwan couldn't find this kind of thing, so I had to use other substitutes.
