In his eyes, no matter how he looked at her, her little daughter-in-law was really beautiful.

Su Qiqiao diligently made five catties of bean sprouts and put them all in her bedroom.

The weather was getting colder and colder. If she wanted to give birth to bean sprouts, she would have to make pits. At this moment, there wasn't much firewood at home, so she had to go and get some firewood today.

Just as she was about to go out, she heard her nephew calling from outside.

"Aunt, my wife told you to go and help with the planting." After the boy finished his words, he turned around and left.

Su Qiqiao sighed. They hadn't split up yet, so if this old lady had any orders, she would have to go. However, she was also puzzled. Normally, the old lady wouldn't like to see her, so she would just disappear if she could not see her.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was particularly busy with the farmland, Juebi would not have called her over. At this moment, it was really strange to be asking her to grow all the vegetables.

The work had to be done, but Su Qiqiao didn't want to rush it. He also wanted to go up the mountain and find some wild animals.

As he walked, he had a feeling that someone was following him.

When she turned around, there was no sign of her.

On the way, he met the Liu Family's Seven Sisters. At this moment, the old man was carrying a huge load of firewood down the mountain.

Looking at the elder's skinny body carrying a huge bundle of firewood on his back, Su Qiqiao couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

Out of kindness, Su Qiqiao carried the firewood to the foot of the mountain for the first family. It had to be said that carrying such a huge load of firewood on her back was truly tiring. He also didn't know how the seven women were still able to make it up the mountain after nearly seventy years.

Su Qiqiao sighed all the way up the mountain and quickly scooped up some firewood. She didn't dare to delay and picked some unsightly wild vegetables to return home with.

After hurriedly drinking a bowl of water, he hurried back to his room to work.

When he turned the corner, Su Qiqiao saw his big sister flash by in a trance.

He was thinking about what was going on with this Zhang Family and sister-in-law. Based on his senses, what happened last time would definitely not be so simple.

Fortunately, the vegetable patch wasn't too big. After the old lady asked her to plant the winter cabbage, she let them go home.

Just after she left, Zhang Family Big Sis buried a dead thing in that place.

Su Qiqiao had just returned home to make some simple wild vegetable paste, and was preparing to eat it.

He saw Lady Zhang Liu and his sister-in-law walk in while cursing.

"You should be in deep water, you jinx. Look at your life, it's really too hard. First, he hurt the Seventh Madame when she fell down, and now, he even killed our Fei Li. The land in his house had somehow turned red. A woman like you, which family would still dare to accept it? "

When the two of them entered the room, both of them started crying loudly, wiping their tears and howling in grief.

Zhang Chaoming turned pale when he heard that, while Su Qiqiao suddenly understood why she felt that something was wrong. It wasn't that she had forgotten, it was just that she wanted him to kill her with a single blow of his staff.

In this rural area, as long as one carried the name of a jinx, it would be a stain on one's life.

She sneered as she looked at her big sister Zhang Family. She had already made up her mind.

Lady Zhang Liu saw that her daughter-in-law was still causing trouble, so she pinched Zhang Chaoming's hand. With a serious expression, she looked at Zhang Chaoming in disdain. Finally, her gaze landed on Su Qiqiao.

"I say, Old Fourth's family, your bad luck has never been clean." I thought it was just a coincidence. However, two accidents happened to you today. This proves that you are a woman with a lost life.

You just met Seventh Madame in the morning, and she was knocked down by you, so she hasn't gotten up yet. It was said that the only reason why he could drag it out was due to luck. If you grow vegetables for your family at noon, you can pull the money out of that field. After you left, it died in the vegetable patch.

What was even more infuriating was that a large patch of land had actually turned into a pool of blood. It all happened behind you. I'm not going to spread the news about you. You and Old Fourth can leave the house. In this family, I don't want everyone to die because of you two. "

Su Qiqiao had originally wanted to argue, but when she heard about the matter, she was stunned for a moment and immediately became ecstatic. She wasn't afraid of getting her body cleansed. After all, even if we had hands and feet, everything we earned was still our own.

Still, it was too early for her to be happy.

"However, when Old Fourth is in good health, you will have to pay three taels of silver every year after you go hunting there." At this moment, Grandma spoke again. She was a thief. In the past, when Old Fourth went hunting for a few years, he earned three taels of silver a year. I've got you out of here, and you'll have to pay the same amount of silver.

"Mother …" If you don't think about us, we'll have to eat too. " Su Qiqiao was furious. She had never seen such an unscrupulous mother-in-law. Every single year's worth of money, she would pay it all to her.

"This is filial piety, we will support you. This filial piety, no matter what, must be done."

Su Qiqiao gritted her teeth in hatred. This old pious woman was talking about filial piety again. Who knew that in this era, it was all about filial piety.

Zhang Chaoming, who was on the side, was also very angry. Today, he finally saw the viciousness of his stepmother with his own eyes. That originally guilty conscience of Lady Zhang Liu's branch family had also turned cold.

He swept a cold glance at Lady Zhang Liu. "We can either get out of the house clean or agree to pay for you for a year. However, it could only get two taels a year. If you want to live, so do I and the children and their mothers. After saving all the money for a year of hunting, he would only have two or three taels left. He would need a year of good luck and a year of hard work to earn that much. "You have to pay two taels, and our family of five will only get one tael. That's all our son can do. If mother doesn't agree, then you can force her son to his death.

His angry words caused Lady Zhang Liu to be stunned on the spot. Zhang Da and his sister-in-law were even more stunned. Su Qiqiao was secretly clapping her hands and cheering him on the spot.

A man like her was truly enlightened, and he knew how to fight for his own benefits. Even though it was only a tael of silver, at least it had improved! He had to eat his fill. He had to transform this person step by step!

"Damn Old Fourth, it's only been a few days and you've actually learned to contradict your mother." "You, you unfilial son, see if I don't beat you to death."

Lady Zhang Liu was furious. How dare this honest Old Fourth, whom she had freely fabricated, disobey her words?

Zhang Chaoming did not even try to dodge the slap. The five palm print on his face made Su Qiqiao gasp in shock.

This woman was too fierce.

"Mother …" I know you don't take me for your own son, and I don't blame you. [You already beat me up today, and I want the silver as well. What else do you want?] I still say that, or you can make our family of five die right now. Or you can give us a way out and give us two taels of silver a year from now. For an ordinary family like theirs, the annual expenses would only be one tael of silver. Two taels of silver is the best I can do. What else do you want? Mother, what's the good of forcing us to our deaths? We also want to survive, and we must live as well. Are you the only ones allowed to live, and you won't let us live anymore? "

These bloody words made Su Qiqiao's nose sour. She saw a shadow flash outside the wall. She was about to curse at Lady Zhang Liu when she swallowed her curses back and let others see how this evil old granny dealt with things. This saved her from using her filial piety to pressure them.

Lady Zhang Liu was so angry that she wanted to step forward and teach Zhang Chaoming a lesson.

"Cough …" I said Zhang Family, it's about time you guys messed around for a long time. To be honest, it was enough to drive them away and make them pay two taels of silver a year. I want you to be satisfied. Zhang Family, if you really force someone to their death, would it benefit you? Your son is going to study and your daughter is going to get married. It's not wrong for you to point at the brothers. But you have to give you a chance. Just like that beast, if you kept making it work and ignored it, you would eventually die of exhaustion, and not suffer a heavy loss. For Zhang Family, listen to my advice and just let others off the hook. "

Lady Zhang Liu actually knew about this. She didn't expect Zhang Chaoming's family to give her all the income. However, these words were resisted by Zhang Chaoming in front of everyone, causing her to lose a lot of face. Now that he had been dissuaded by the clan's elders, he had no choice but to come down.

The commotion in the branch family ended with the two of them staying in this shabby house.

The infuriating thing was that even if they had a saber and a pot, Lady Zhang Liu had still taken it back.

According to her, it was a clean sale, so she had to take away what she had once given …

Actually, these things were obviously prepared by my previous self, alright? However, Su Qiqiao didn't argue with her.

As long as he didn't get involved with this group of people in the future, it was fine.

However, after they had split up, Da, his sister-in-law, and Lady Zhang Liu had started a ruckus. It was said that after causing trouble for a few days, Lady Zhang Liu was eventually separated from her family.

However, I heard that even with great Zhang Family, Sister-in-law still didn't get too many benefits. How could Lady Zhang Liu, such a stingy person, give them too many things? Even if it was a fertile land, they only received one mu of it. Of course, the second best was still two acres. Two acres of good sand. All in all, everyone had a small fortune.

As for Su Qiqiao and Zhang Chaoming, they didn't even get a single point.

"Wife, I'll go to the wasteland in the future." When Zhang Chaoming was cleaning up his home, he forced himself to say this.

Su Qiqiao burst into laughter. "The wasteland is open, but we don't have to open it here in the future. I heard it's a good place for you to go hunting. "Have you ever thought about going to the wasteland over there and settling down for the rest of your life?"

Far away from here, Su Qiqiao thought she would be happier if she didn't eat with this disgusting grandma.

Zhang Chaoming's hands froze for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at her in disbelief, "Wifey, you mean …" Is it us who will be staying there from now on? I, I really didn't think about it? "No, I have to think about it."

He only knew that it was the hunting grounds there, but he had never thought of rehousing there for a long time. Because there were only a few hunters over there, it was said that there were also people who were opening up their land. However, the effect was not very good.

Because of this, people had been hunting everywhere for a long time.

That night, Zhang Chaoming kept tossing and turning.

After thinking over the situation at home, he also understood that he and his wife wouldn't be able to please their mother no matter how much he and his wife tried to please her.

He used to feel sorry for them, but now, he realized that he didn't feel sorry for them at all. On the contrary, he was no less responsible to his father than his brothers.

Even himself and his wife were always affected by poverty.

If he didn't think for himself, he would have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting his family. To let his wife be humiliated by his mother, this kind of thing would happen as long as he lived here. Instead of this, why not... They will settle down there.

Actually, as long as one was able to settle down there, it was not impossible to survive. It seems that there are two family members who survived over there. At that time, when he went over, he would build a shed, build a house, and open up some wasteland. Perhaps, he could think of a way to grow some vegetables and crops …
