She didn’t like the few copper coins that she lost.
However, ever since the construction of the house started, the people in the village had been talking about it. Those who could come to help would not only get copper coins every day, but they would also get a bowl of meat for two meals a day. They could even eat their fill of steamed buns.
Many men felt sorry for their families and would often save that bowl of meat to bring home at the end of the day.
It could be said that in the past few days, there were very few families in Willow Village that had not eaten meat.
Her mother-in-law and husband had been complaining about her every day recently, blaming her that if she had not offended Yue Jiaojiao, Yang Dalei would have been able to come and help to earn a few meals!
Liu Xiaowan was also a little regretful when she heard their complaints.
Her mother-in-law was fierce and overbearing, and she protected her son like a treasure. Only she, the daughter-in-law who had married into the family, was an outsider. Every day, she not only had to do the work at home, but also the work in the field.
As for Yang Dalei, he was already an adult, but he was still treated like a child at home and had not grown up!
The entire family depended on her alone. The food that they worked hard to earn in a year was not enough to eat at all, but her mother-in-law was in charge of distributing the food, so she could only starve.
If she had made up her mind to marry Zhao Zhan back then, she would definitely have a better life than Yue Jiaojiao!
Seeing that Liu Xiaowan was just standing there and looking at him with an inexplicable expression, Zhao Zhan directly picked Yue Jiaojiao up in his arms and turned to leave.
“Zhao Zhan! Are you really not going to help?”
Liu Xiaowan chased after him, but she couldn’t bear to let the flower tea that she had worked so hard to make be wasted by the other helpers. She looked at him reluctantly, “Zhao Zhan!”
Zhao Zhan walked even faster after trhat.
Yue Jiaojiao looked up from her embrace and chuckled.
“Why are you so scared? She took a fancy to you and wants to get rid of me, this fake wife, so she’ll be your first wife.”
“You’re not a fake wife. You’re my only wife.” Zhao Zhan hugged the person in his arms tightly, his tone was stubborn and serious “Only you alone. There can’t be anyone else.”
Looking at his serious expression, Yue Jiaojiao truly felt that the rough hunter was extremely adorable.
She couldn’t help but reach out to scratch his chin and play with him in his arms.
“Zhao Zhan,” Wencai’s wife suddenly appeared and blocked the two’s path, “Wencai’s leg is broken. You have to come with us to town and find a doctor to treat him. You’ll have to pay for how much money we have to spend!”
One side of Wencai’s wife’s face was swollen, and there was a clear palm print on it.
“You scammed our family for more than thirty silver. There’s no way I’ll let this matter pass!”
“Listen, that lady took a lot of leather from our house. It’s not a problem for you to sell the leather in town for ten or twenty silver. As for Wencai’s leg, he broke it in the mountain by himself. It has nothing to do with us!”
“You wretched with! The leather you gave us was moldy. It smells so bad. Who would be so blind to buy a pile of moldy leather?”
Wencai’s wife slapped her thigh and cried at the top of her lungs. “Why is my life so hard to have such a family and such a terrible relative like you? If Wencai’s leg is broken in the future, I will not let you off!”
“The skin is moldy because it was caught in the heavy rain and they didn’t dry in time, right?” Zhao Zhan carried Yue Jiaojiao and took a step back without leaving a trace, afraid that Wencai’s wife would suddenly go crazy and rush up to hit his lover. “Besides, it was Kuazi who snatched it away. You can’t blame it on me.”
“I don’t care! Wencai is still paralyzed on the bed, his life is on the line! You can’t act like nothing happened!” Wencai’s wife opened her arms wide and glared at Zhao Zhan fiercely. “If you don’t take Wencai to see a doctor, I’ll make sure your house can’t be built!”
