Chapter 112
Bamboo shoots are available all year round. They are crisp and not greasy. The most important thing is that they are easy to make.

Mother Wei's best dish is stir-fried bamboo shoots with chili, a small dish is enough for them to drink four bowls of porridge.

Nuo Xin walked in the front with a basket alone, and the basket in her hand was dangling. It didn't look heavy at all, and it didn't make her petite figure any trouble.

The mist in the mountains has not yet dissipated, lingering at the top of the mountains, an illusion that the mountains are so high that they can touch the clouds.

Nuo Xin took Wei Xiaozi's hand and walked on the country road, when a few peasant women who had just descended from the mountain came towards them, and they had fresh bamboo shoots in their bamboo baskets.

"Hey, aren't these two the two daughters of the Wei family? I haven't seen much of their family recently. It turns out that they have become lazy and have learned to order their daughters to do things."

"No, Mrs. Wei said that their family is stingy. When I go to their house to eat, they are all vegetarian dishes. I haven't seen any meat stars. I have to watch their faces when I'm done. I can't say that the dishes are tasteless and there is no salt."

"Look at how this family lives. They are unfilial and lazy. Sooner or later they will starve to death."

"Fortunately, Mrs. Wei has a lot of children. I heard that his eldest son will build a new house soon, and the three sons will do the same. These two sons are capable and can do anything."

"That's right! It's better to have more sons, and to raise them for old age. If this doesn't work, there will be another one. Look at her eldest daughter, she is not married to the county magistrate. If she is rich, she will disappear. The married daughter is really good. It’s just the water that was poured out, and I can’t see it once a year..."

The three peasant women left with a basket of bamboo shoots and a vegetable basket in their hands.

Although Wei Xiaohui was young, she could understand what they were talking about just now.Those peasant women were just saying that their family is poor, and will get poorer in the future, the kind that gets poorer with each passing day.

Wei Xiaohui's small face was full of sorrow, she certainly hoped that these days would be better.She didn't want her family to eat around like Mrs. Wei in order to fill her stomach.I don't even want to steal someone's things to survive.

"Sister, is our family very poor? I don't want to become poorer and poorer, like grandma."

Being like Mrs. Wei is not poor, she is just pretending to be poor.

Nuo Xin didn't expect that she would overhear the words that the peasant women used for entertainment just now. At such a young age, her face was already full of sorrow, so sad that she couldn't worry anymore.

Nuoxin didn't explain any reason to Wei Xiaohui, she just took out an ingot of silver from the space and handed it to Wei Xiaohui.

"Look at this, do you think those people who just mentioned us have these things? No, in fact, they have a worse life than us, otherwise they wouldn't get up early in the morning to dig bamboo shoots on the mountain.

What they are afraid of is that the bamboo shoots will be dug up and they will have nothing to eat. In fact, they are even poorer than us. At least our family has this, but they have nothing but a mouth.

They can only play tricks like this to make themselves feel more comfortable, and lie to themselves that they are living better than us. This is human nature, and we don't need to pay attention to them, and we don't need to explain anything. "

Wei Xiaohui nodded as if she understood. Nuo Xin didn't say anything. He just led Wei Xiaohui up the mountain. He picked the young bamboo shoots when he saw them, and picked the herbs that had the effect of reducing fire. Then he returned to Wei's house with two full baskets. .

As soon as she stepped into Wei's house, Nuo Xin could smell the fragrance of vegetables. It seems that Wei's father and Wei mother were not idle at home while they were working on the mountain.

It's just that there is no way for them to stay at home like this. Those villagers will still say what they want to say, even if they don't show their faces, they are the talkers after dinner.

Nuo Xin didn't understand why Father Wei and Mother Wei wanted to avoid them. It was obvious that those who listened to Mrs. Wei were brainless people. Since they were all brainless people, they didn't need to be friends with them and deliberately lowered their reputation. IQ.

After Wei Xiaohui put down the basket, Nuo Xin whispered a few words in her ear, asking her to pass on what she remembered from the peasant women just now to Father Wei and Mother Wei, and let them know what people outside said about their family.

"Go!"

Nuo Xin gave Wei Xiaohui a slight push on the back, giving her some encouragement.

When the afternoon was approaching the evening, Wei's father and Wei's mother finally went out. They took care of the crops in the field as usual, and went out carrying farm tools. Seeing that they had finally returned to normal, Nuo Xin felt relieved and took care of the vegetables in his space. .

During dinner at night, Nuo Xin proposed to build a new house.

Wei's father and Wei's mother frowned, the money they earned before was not warmed in their hands, and they were reluctant to spend it so soon.

Nuo Xin knew what they were thinking, so she told them what she heard in front of those peasant women today, and persuaded them well.

Wei's father and Wei's mother finally nodded and agreed to use the money to build a new house.

It is easy to do things with money, and soon, a few hired workers that Wei's father and Wei mother found on the street came to help build the house.

With the whole village watching, the Wei family demolished part of the old house and began to build a new house piece by piece in a more spacious place.

No one thought that Mrs. Wei had three sons. Usually, she looked down on and disliked Wei San'er the most. Wei San'er, who she thought was the least promising, was the first among the brothers to build a new house.

Everyone upstairs was looking at Mrs. Wei as if watching the excitement, but they didn't expect that the object of their observation at the moment was sneaking around and trying to steal chickens in the chaos.

Nuo Xin had long expected that someone would take advantage of the chaos to do something sneaky. She sat by the wooden house and happened to catch sight of Mrs. Wei's golden mouse eyes.

Why bother to bear the infamy of an old villain at such an old age?

Nuo Xin watched coldly as Mrs. Wei stooped step by step and walked to the wooden house stealthily. She was only paying attention to the surrounding environment. She probably didn't expect that there was a person standing beside the wooden house waiting for her, just waiting for her. Appear.

Nuo Xin moved all four chickens that were still scratching the floor in the wooden house into the space, and then shouted at the top of her voice, "Someone is here! Catch the thief! Someone took advantage of the chaos and stole all my chickens!"

Nuo Xin's voice was loud, and for a moment, the villagers who had just been watching Wei's father, Wei's mother, and the three hired workers all turned their eyes to the wooden house.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wei came to their house to catch chickens last time, and now the villagers know exactly where the Wei family keeps their chickens.

Looking at it, they saw a sneaky figure very smoothly. The person who was hunched over and staring at a pair of mouse eyes was Mrs. Wei. As soon as he reached into the wooden house, he was suddenly grabbed.
