"Mom!" Mei Xue shouted, hugged Mei Sanniang and buried her face in Mei Sanniang's chest.

As soon as she heard her lovely voice that had never changed for thousands of years, Mei Sanniang hugged her gently without saying a word. Likewise, she was afraid that as a woman, her tears could no longer be controlled and surged out. His eyes were also filled with tears.

She blushed and touched her back.

As soon as she heard her lovely voice that had never changed for thousands of years, Mei Sanniang hugged her gently without saying a word. Likewise, she was afraid that as a woman, her tears could no longer be controlled, and her eyes were red.

He walked around and touched her back.

"Be good, Mom is here, don't be afraid."

"Child, let's go home."

Mei Sanniang looked at Liu Tao next to her and said, "My child, you should go home too. It's dark, so don't stay outside."

"Aunt Mei, are you okay?"

The boy's childish voice was particularly pleasant, and Mei Sanniang forced a smile and nodded.

"Don't worry. Auntie is fine."

In front of the children, she tried her best to pretend to be calm. The children were very frightened by what happened just now. When Xu Erzhu walked out, Mei Xue subconsciously hid behind Mei Sanniang. She could feel a pair of small hands pulling her tightly.

Clothes corner.

"Snow."

"Why are you two here?"

Although Xu Erzhu's voice sounded very gentle, Xue'er still didn't agree, as if she had met a stranger.

"Snow."

Xu Erzhu took a step closer, and Mei Xue hid behind Mei Sanniang.

"Brother Erzhu, it's getting late. You should go back first. I'll take Xue'er home."

"Okay..." Xu Erzhu glanced at Xue'er meaningfully, and then left reluctantly.

After Xu Erzhu and Liu Tao left, Xueer dared to poke her head out, her eyes full of fear.

"Xue'er, let's go home."

Mei Sanniang took Xue'er's hand, and the two of them walked home. It was completely dark, and it was so dark that Xue'er's expression could not be seen.

The surrounding grass made a sizzling sound, as if music was playing, and the night dance party was coming.

But not long after walking, drizzle hit them. Mei Sanniang looked at the sky. No wonder it got dark so fast.

Not a single star can be seen in the sky.

"Xue'er, come on, put your little hand in your mother's pocket."

Mei Xue obediently put her hand into Mei Sanniang's pocket without saying a word.

Usually Xueer is good at finding things to say, but today she was not used to it.

"Xueer, are you hungry?"

"Is my brother good at home?"

"Xue'er?"

Mei Sanniang called out several times, but Xueer didn't hear anything at all, and finally reacted and said "Yeah".

When Mei Sanniang saw this, she stopped asking and just took Xueer home.

She was scared even as an adult, let alone a child.

After arriving home, she went to the house to check on Guitang. She had just fed Guitang before leaving. The child wouldn't cry hungry at this moment. But it was hard to tell in the middle of the night. The child would cry whenever he was hungry and wake up in the middle of the night.

When she is hungry, she needs warm milk and feeding.

She thought that Xueer had eaten a vegetable pancake in the afternoon and must be hungry, so she went to the kitchen and carefully looked through the eggs.

It just so happens that I can fry two more egg pancakes at night, so there is no need to cook.

As soon as she picked up the eggs, she glanced at the large water tank with one eye. There were many small fish swimming around in the tank.

There were also a few thumb-sized fish, so she grabbed the small fish, opened them up, rolled them in flour one by one, and heated the oil in a pan.

Although there are not many fish, this small fish is the most fragrant when fried.

After the remaining water in the pot boiled, she poured some oil. After the oil burned and smoked, she carefully stepped back several steps, holding the spatula in her hand and placing the small fish in the spatula.

They put the fish into the pot one after another from a distance.

When the little fish was put into the pot, the iron pot started to smoke and splashed with water.

Mei Sannian quickly shook the spatula and shoveled it several times. Only when the splash of oil became smaller did she dare to keep turning the fish in the pot.

The fish cooked quickly, so she stir-fried it a few times, added a handful of fish, and added a little amaranth. This pot was their mother and daughter's dinner.

"Xue'er, come to eat."

"Snow."

Mei Sanniang looked into the room and saw that the child had been playing with the wooden doll made by Xu Erzhu.

There are not many toys in the village. The children spend all day either cutting pig grass or picking up snails to feed the chickens and ducks. Especially after the rain, groups of snails crawl out. If you are not careful, they will make a clicking sound.

The wooden doll in Mei Xue's hand was carved bit by bit by Xu Erzhu using the unwanted wood from the beams. Although this doll is not very good-looking, it contains Xu Erzhu's full love for Xue'er.

"Xue'er, come and try the fish made by mother."

Mei Xue picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. The rich smell of rapeseed oil made her unforgettable. She looked at her mother and asked, "Is this the little fish I caught?"

"Of course, this is the fish Xueer caught."

"If it weren't for Xue'er, my mother wouldn't be able to eat fish! Xue'er is awesome."

Mei Xue bared her teeth and smiled. This was the first time she smiled since she was frightened. Xueer's voice was still the same as before, sweet and endearing.

"My mother's food is the most delicious. It's a pity that Xue'er doesn't have the ability. She only caught these few small fish all afternoon, and they're not enough to fill the gap between her teeth."

"Mom, I thought you would accuse me of eating such a small fry."

Mei Sanniang rubbed Xue'er's little head and said, "How could it be possible? It's too late for my mother to be happy. These fish can't grow big. They will only be this big in their lifetime."

Mei Sanniang picked up a finger-sized fish with her chopsticks and said to Xueer: "Look, this fish is the largest fish, they are only this big at most."

"Mother..." Mei Xue called out, but stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

When Mei Xue recalled the scene of Uncle Erzhu beating someone, the voice in her head kept fighting with her.

Uncle Erzhu is usually a gentle and kind person.

But she saw the unknown side of Uncle Erzhu, which was violent and terrifying.

Mei Xue couldn't accept it for a while, and she asked her mother: "Uncle Erzhu is not that kind of person, is he?"

Mei Sanniang paused, it was indeed because of what happened just now, otherwise Xueer would not have been silent along the way.

"Your Uncle Erzhu is not that kind of person. If it weren't for Brother Erzhu, my mother would have been murdered. So Erzhu is my mother's benefactor. It's just that his methods are a bit extreme, but his heart is good."

Mei Xue listened to her mother's words, but what she saw was true and what she heard was false.

She could only nod, but the knot in her heart was already buried.

Mei Sanniang thought that Wang Ma would calm down after being beaten, but she didn't expect that this guy would come to cause trouble the next day.

It's still dark, and the roosters haven't crowed yet.

Wang Ma stood outside the yard and shouted: "Mei Sanniang, come out to the labor force."

"You cheated on my chicken, and you cheated on my sheep."

Mei Sanniang climbed up from the bed ferociously, and Xue'er beside her helplessly opened her eyes, "Mother."

Mei Sanniang agreed softly: "Sleep a little longer, and Mom will go out and take a look."

When she heard Ouma's voice, she lost all sleep. She held a rolling pin in her hand and opened the door with her shoes on. When she came to the yard, she saw Ouma behind this fence.

"Didn't you give these things to me? When did it become a lie? Besides, they are all mine now, where are your chickens and sheep?"

Wang Ma has seen shameless people, but he has never seen such shameless people as Mei Sanniang. He turned around and refused to recognize anyone. He was knocked unconscious last night.

"Ah sneeze." Wang Ma shrugged his nose and asked Mei Sanniang: "What did you promise me before? Doesn't it count anymore?"

Mei Sanniang pretended not to know anything and asked doubtfully: "What did you say? Why don't I know?"

Wang Ma covered his half-swollen face and said fiercely: "I have to take away these sheep and chickens."

As Wang Ma crossed the fence and entered the yard, Mei Sanniang saw that she couldn't stop him and shouted loudly: "There is a thief, come quickly! He's stealing something."

This roar made Wang Ma's hands tremble.

Immediately after, every house turned on the lights, and some people ran out wearing thin coats.

Xu Erzhu's house was close to Mei Sanniang's house. Not long after Mei Sanniang's voice fell, Xu Erzhu almost ran out wearing only his underpants.

When Wang Ma saw Xu Erzhu again, he couldn't help but tremble. He didn't know if he was afraid of being beaten. Xu Erzhu didn't know the severity of his attacks, and even beat people to death. He couldn't get up today, but he couldn't swallow this breath.
