In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

After discovering that He Qinglu and He Qingya were missing, the Jin family helped the He family look for them. When they learned that He Qinglu was killed, the uncle of the Jin family fought with the refugees and was almost beaten to death.

No matter how annoying the third sister-in-law is, the Jin family is still worth promoting.

The Jin family has four sons and one daughter, and Jin Cuihua is the fourth. In fact, she was spoiled by Old Lady Jin when she was growing up.

There are many men in the Jin family, and most of the grandchildren are boys. These little brats eat their fathers out of money.

Not knowing whether there would be a total harvest failure in the fall, their whole family was busy in the spring with empty stomachs.

If she hadn't heard that the He family had made a lot of income and that the Jin family hadn't eaten meat for a long time and were too hungry to work, Old Lady Jin wouldn't have been so shameless as to ask someone to pass on the message and ask Jin Cuihua to go back to her parents' home.

After arriving at Taohua Village, He Sanlang was surrounded by his cousins, who wanted to take him around the village.

After He Qiudi had rested enough, he followed a few of his juniors into the mountains.

When passing by the storage pond at the entrance of the village, I released water into the pond.

When in the mountains, we also put them in hillsides with dense vegetation and in mountain ponds.

He Sanlang boasted about his experiences of picking mushrooms and hunting in the mountains with He Qiudi in recent days. The cousins ​​of the Jin family did not believe it, and He Sanlang was so angry that he borrowed a bow and arrow from He Qiudi and searched for prey in the mountains.

With the help of He Qiudi, two pheasants were found.

I don’t know if He Sanlang inherited the talent of Grandpa He, but in any case, the two pheasants were hunted by He Sanlang without He Qiudi taking any action.

He Qiudi was a little stunned by what he saw.

The cousins ​​of the Jin family all expressed their admiration for He Sanlang, and even agreed that after the busy spring season was over, they would have He Sanlang and He Dalang live in the Jin family permanently and teach them how to hunt.

He Sanlang agreed very generously.

Afterwards, he came to ask He Qiudi for his opinion, which made He Qiudi laugh. He Sanlang's way of dealing with people is really interesting.

He has both Mr. He’s hunting talent and the Jin family’s cleverness and unwillingness to suffer losses.

After catching the pheasant, the kids rushed down the mountain and ran back to the village.

Old Mrs. Jin started preparing dinner early to entertain He Qiudi and He Sanlang.

I killed a pheasant and made a big pot of chicken and mushroom stew with the foaming mushrooms.

Although there were ten adults and more than a dozen children in the Jin family eating together, He Qiudi and He Sanlang still got two chicken legs.

He Qiudi felt embarrassed to eat alone, so she shared one of her chicken legs with her pregnant aunt.

Although Mrs. Jin's cooking skills are not as superb as Mrs. He's, the game from this mountain does not require any sophisticated techniques. As long as the ingredients are in place and cooked well, the chicken stewed with mushrooms will be incredibly delicious.

He Qiudi, who was tired after running all day, ate two large bowls of rice with chicken soup.

He Qiudi slept with the two little girls from the Jin family. At night, she was disturbed by their snoring, teeth grinding, talking in their sleep, and rolling around on the kang. She was kicked in the stomach or in the calves, which made her unable to sleep well the whole night.

The next day, I got up and went to the village entrance to release water. In the morning, I went into the mountains to play with the children of the Jin family.

He Qiudi couldn't help herself, and together with He Sanlang, they hunted two wild rabbits in the mountains. They also discovered a herd of wild goats that were attracted by the water she had released.

They, a few half-grown children, used various ropes and archery, and finally hunted two wild goats.

Upon hearing the news, Jin's uncles rushed over and caught three more wild goats.

The Jin family kept two wild goats, one was used to make a whole roast, and some of the meat of one was kept for their own consumption. The rest was sold to the villagers as a snack. The other three goats were captured and taken to the city by Jin's uncle to be sold, and a cartload of grain was bought along the way.

When they bought food, they also listened to what He Qiudi said.

He Qiudi told them that Grandpa He had asked the people of Shiliu Village to buy food in case there was no rain after the busy spring harvest, which would result in a total crop failure in the autumn.

Old Lady Jin knew that the He family had no plans to flee the famine for the time being, so they decided to follow the He family and stay in the village.

If there is a harvest failure in the second half of the year, all the people in Shiliu Village will flee the famine. The He family will stay in Ningyuan, but they will be short of manpower and feel a little weak. It would be better for the Jin family to move to Shiliu Village together. Both families will have more men who can help when something happens, and they can take care of each other.

He Qiudi stayed in Taohua Village for another night.

She didn't sleep well that night as usual.

After breakfast on the third day, He Qiudi said he would go home no matter what despite the enthusiastic attempts of Old Lady Jin and others to keep him.

Under the reluctant gazes of the little kids, He Sanlang and he headed towards Pomegranate Village, carrying a roasted leg of lamb, a fresh leg of lamb, malt sugar bought by Uncle Jin in the city, honey three knives, the cloth given by Old Lady Jin, and the straw sandals woven by Old Man Jin.

The two passed by Liushu Village, and He Qiudi took the opportunity of taking a break to release half a pool of water into the storage pond of Liushu Village.

She and He Sanlang cut some lamb legs to eat, and after eating, they continued on their way home.

He Sanlang was walking on the road, burping and saying, "Aunt, it would be great if we could hunt a herd of wild goats in Shiliu Village. Roasted whole lamb legs are really delicious."

He Qiudi put the half-lightened lamb leg on his shoulder and said, "Go to your grandmother's house, so you can go home with a full stomach. If you hunt wild goats in Pomegranate Village, guess what your grandma will do."

"Uh……"

He Sanlang scratched his temples and said, "Then, little aunt, after the spring busy season is over, can you come to Taohua Village with me and my brother?"

He Qiudi pursed his lips and said, "I have to accompany your grandma to Lan County to visit your aunt first. We can go to Taohua Village after we come back."

He Sanlang smiled happily and said, "Then my brother and I will wait for you to come back."

Lan County is dozens of kilometers away from Ningyuan County. If you set out in the morning, you can reach Lan County in the afternoon.

After resting for three or five nights in Lan County, Old Lady He would take her back to Shiliu Village, and then she would accompany He Sanlang to Taohua Village for fun.

Hunting for meat comes second.

The important thing is to release water into the storage ponds in Liushu Village and Taohua Village.

It took them more than an hour to walk back to Pomegranate Village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw many villagers gathering around the old well.

The village head and Mr. He were also among them.

Seeing that they didn't look well, He Qiudi realized that maybe because she had been in Taohua Village for two days, the old well lost its supplies and revealed its true form.

He Qiudi gave half a roasted leg of lamb to He Sanlang, asked him to avoid the crowd and take the thing home, while he went to find Grandpa He.

As a result, before I even got close to the old well, I heard Old Lady Li suddenly say loudly: "If you ask me, this Shiliu Village is blessed by the old locust tree. Isn't the water in the reservoir at the entrance of the village still usable? In a few days, the old locust tree will show its power once, and the water released will definitely be enough to last until the autumn harvest."

"My brother has found a way to make a living for the three brothers in Licheng. I plan to sell the land and move my family to Licheng to do some small business. Who of you is willing to buy our land? Fifteen acres of dry land and five acres of good farmland. The total price is only forty taels of silver."

The Pomegranate Village will have to escape famine sooner or later.

Sell ​​the land first, otherwise it will be too late and you will end up losing money.
