After the village chief finished speaking, he turned to leave. Liu Shusen was so frightened that he quickly pushed away Old Mrs. Liu who did not dare to say anything anymore and stepped forward to hold the village chief.

"Don't! This is something my mother didn't consider. I promise that I will never care about the third family's affairs again. I will talk to my father later. There will never be a next time!"

Liu Shusen was heartbroken that the money he had received was gone. He blamed the village chief for being nosy, but he didn't dare to really make trouble with the clan.

When the third house is separated, the old house has no right to interfere with the daughter of the third house, unless both Liu Shugen and his wife are deceased.

"Remember what you said, and next time I dare to talk to you, I will be the first to talk to you!"

The village chief doesn't really want to open an ancestral hall. It would be a big sin to disturb the ancestors.

With a cold snort, the village chief was too lazy to look at Old Mrs. Liu again. He turned around and said to Liu Ya, who was holding Liu Miao and crying silently: "Liu Ya, your father is not at home and your mother is not in good health. You, the eldest daughter, should

Be sensible and support your family."

"Tomorrow...I'll ask your aunt to send some millet over later. You have to live a good life. Everything will be fine when your father comes back."

"Thank you, village chief. It was Liu Ya's fault. You shouldn't have made such a fuss." Liu Ya wiped her eyes, helped Liu Miao stand up, and bowed to express her thanks.

"Everyone, stop looking at it and help carry the third child's family into the house. Let's go back and have a rest. You don't have to work in the fields tomorrow?"

With a snort, the village chief strode away.

Soon the village chief's family sent two kilograms of millet and two eggs. This kind of kindness is very precious in the countryside.

There were also women who were friends with Mrs. Liu Wang and brought them a ladle of rice grains or a handful of coarse salt to keep them going for a while.

"Little sister, doesn't our father have any good brothers in the village?"

At night, when Mrs. Liu Wang fell asleep, Liu Ya asked in a low voice.

"Dad was sent to work for a landlord since he was a child. I heard that he returned to the village after marrying my mother. I didn't hear that he got along well with anyone," Liu Miao replied.

Liu Ya said oh.

The village chief has made the decision, and the old house will be quiet for a while. Liu Ya must take advantage of this time to save money, and Liu Ye must not be allowed to stay in the Ge family to be punished.

Early the next morning, Liu Ya cooked some wild vegetable and millet porridge, and steamed an egg custard to replenish the health of Liu Wang and Liu Miao, but she was reluctant to eat it herself.

When cooking porridge, she added a few drops of space water. After eating, Liu Ya felt better than yesterday, so she took the woodcutter and went into the mountain.

You dare not go into the deep mountains. Liu Ya only dug two traps on the route he went to yesterday, and there is no guarantee that there will be any harvest. The key is to look for wild eggs.

Sure enough, at noon, Liu Ya found seven nests of wild eggs, a total of forty-one.

After cutting another bundle of firewood, Liu Ya went down the mountain to go home. She was already hungry.

"Mom, I'm going to chop another bundle of firewood later. I'll go to the town to sell it tomorrow. I'll buy you some red dates and brown sugar and come back."

While eating, Liu Ya spoke.

"Don't buy it. It's expensive. People like us can't afford it. I happen to have a few pieces of embroidery work here. You can go with me and come back with a few more handkerchiefs."

Mrs. Liu frowned, obviously worried.

The two sisters did not dare to let Mrs. Liu know what Mrs. Liu said last night, for fear that she would not be able to think about it.

"I picked up several nests of wild eggs at the foot of the mountain. Those eggs are worth more than the domestic ones. I will go to the market tomorrow to sell them, and I can exchange them for dozens of pennies. Later I will take Liu Miao with me. Mom, don't worry about money.

I’m worried about things.”

Liu Ya enlightened.

"Alas!" Mrs. Liu leaned back tiredly and said with a hint of complaint: "Liu Ya, mother knows that you are not a bad person and you are also doing your best for the good of this family. But after all, they are your father's closest relatives, and now it's causing trouble.

So, what should you do if your father is unhappy when he comes back?"

"My father...will he be unhappy?"

Liu Ya didn't like the cheap father, and through the memory of the original owner, she also understood that Liu Wang's concerns were justified.

"How about sending those wild eggs to your grandparents? Your sister-in-law is about to give birth, so we have to send some fertile eggs..."

"mother!"

Liu Ya put down her chopsticks and said in a cold voice: "I thought Mom really cared about us, but it turns out that in Mom's heart, the people in the old house are more important."

"No, why do you think so? You are my mother's fate!" Liu Wangshi hurriedly explained, fearing that Liu Ya would misunderstand.

"Grandma sold the eldest sister and then sold the younger sister. Mom did not hold any grudges and wanted to please them. Is it because she was afraid that they would not dare to have any ideas about our sisters again? Mom, don't forget, we only have one month to raise money.

Have you ever thought about how my one-month-old sister lived?"

Looking at Mrs. Liu Wang with cold eyes, Liu Ya couldn't bear to say more serious words after seeing her pale face.

But Wang Liu's indifferent and overly weak character must be corrected, otherwise good days will be far away.

"Mom, think about it carefully! We have already separated, and the people in the old house don't care at all that we are close relatives. If Mom thinks they are more important, then I will set up my own household, and Mom won't have to worry about rescuing my eldest sister.

."

Liu Ya said and put away the dishes. Liu Miao quickly finished the last bite and said: "I will follow the second sister."

Mrs. Liu Wang looked at the two girls in disbelief, but she heard Liu Miao murmur softly: "The second sister protects me the most, and also loves the eldest sister the most. I am willing to endure hardships with the second sister."

"You...don't you want a mother?"

Mrs. Liu was about to cry as she spoke. Liu Ya couldn't bear it, but she also felt a little irritable.

"Mom is our backbone, but when will she understand that our third bedroom has been separated, and even if we starve to death at home, the old house will not care about it."

"Mom wants to do her best to be filial, but in our hearts, the eldest sister is more important than all the people in the old house put together!"

After Liu Ya finished speaking, she carried the bowls and chopsticks and went out, followed by Liu Miao.

"Second sister, I don't like them." Liu Miao whispered.

"Second sister knows."

Liu Ya turned back and smiled at Liu Miao, using a free hand to rub her hair that was as yellow as straw.

Glancing at the main room, Liu Ya lowered her voice and said: "Second sister has given you a task. From now on, when second sister goes out to make money, you must keep an eye on our mother. You must not let her give our things to the old house.

Not even a single branch can do it, can you do it?"

"Yes, I will definitely take good care of our mother!" Liu Miao nodded vigorously.

"Remember, the old house must be protected against fire and theft. My second sister has entrusted our family and my mother to you. This is more important than making money."

Not to mention how troubled Liu Wang was, Liu Ya went to the mountains again in the afternoon. This time she did not find pheasant eggs, but she found a pheasant in the trap, which finally paid off.

After a busy day, Liu Ya took an early rest. Before dawn the next day, she carried a backpack and set foot on the road to the town according to the memory of the original owner.

After driving for an hour and a half, Liu Ya arrived at Xiaoyang Town and set up a stall at the entrance of the vegetable market.

"Everyone, come and take a look. Fresh pheasants only cost 2 cents each. It's first come, first served. If you come late, you won't be able to buy it. The pheasants we shot yesterday only cost 18 cents each. You can't buy it but you will suffer a loss.

Don’t be fooled…”

After Liu Ya cleared her throat, she shouted loudly.

The pheasant was already dead, so naturally it couldn't be sold at a high price, but Shibawen was definitely cheap and was quickly bought.

A woman also bought all the wild eggs. Just when Liu Ya was happily preparing to close the stall, she found herself shrouded in a dark shadow.

Liu Ya paused her hands and saw several pairs of feet standing in front of her backpack, and some people kept tapping their toes.
