Chapter 433 Don’t You Want to Be My Girlfriend?

Zheng Xinyue tried twice, but she couldn't bear to tear the letter each time. Finally, she scolded herself in anger, stuffed the letter back into the envelope and put it in the kang cabinet. After thinking about it, she put it at the bottom of the cabinet so that it would be out of sight and out of mind.

This week, the village was basically calm. Zheng Xinyue took the children into the mountains to collect herbs every day, and brought back a wild rabbit every two days, which made the villagers feel itchy, thinking that there were wild rabbits everywhere in the mountains and anyone could catch them.

Seeing that Zheng Xinyue could collect so many herbs with the children, since they could exchange them for money, naturally some people were tempted.

Wang Jinzhi's family next door was the first to be tempted. The two families were separated by only a low wall. Whenever Zheng Xinyue brought a wild rabbit home, he drooled with envy.

On Sunday, the three brothers of the Zheng family took a break and went into the mountains to cut trees with axes. Zheng Xinyue took the five children and followed the three brothers into the mountains, talking and laughing. Zheng Chengbao looked particularly cool carrying an axe. Seeing his sister carrying a backpack, he pulled her over to help her carry it, and he also took the small backpacks of several children.

The children were freed and jumped to chase butterflies and dragonflies, their laughter echoing in the mountains.

"Children are the best, they are happy when they are full."

Zheng Xinyue looked at the five children and said to her third brother with a smile. If she could, she would like to go back to her childhood, but not in this era. The feeling of being hungry was not pleasant.

"Little sister, don't catch rabbits in the future. Haven't you heard that rabbits bite people when they are anxious? Also, my third brother is about to get paid. Don't come to the mountains to collect herbs in the future. You are tired and thin.

Zheng Chengbao glanced at his sister. She finally gained some weight after coming back from Zhang's house, but she has been losing weight in the past few days.

He felt distressed and thought that his sister was tired from collecting herbs in the mountains.

Zheng Chenglong walked in front. From the day he proposed to separate the family until now, he has been talking very little, and his eyes are always heavy.

Hearing his brother's words, he turned back and advised his sister distressedly: "Little sister, the eldest brother and the second brother will also have expenses in a dozen days. Our family will not lack money in the future, and you don't have to go to the mountains to collect herbs anymore. ”

Not to mention that the family has not been divided yet, even if it is divided, he still has to take care of his parents and sister. This is his responsibility as the eldest son.

"Big brother, third brother, I like to pick herbs. When I see the yard covered with herbs I picked, I feel a sense of accomplishment. ”

Zheng Xinyue was moved by the concern of her brothers and lied to them with a smile.

"I heard that there were children who starved to death in the first team and the second team. All the relatives at home ran out to borrow food."

Zheng Chenghu spoke sullenly. In fact, he heard this from his wife. Her family sent someone to tell Li Xiuli that if there was no more food, they would starve to death.

The wife cried secretly under the quilt at night. There was still a month before the autumn harvest and many families could not hold on.

"I can't care so much. We don't have much food in our family. There are also people in the village who have no food. I saw my second uncle snatching corn from my grandfather's house a few days ago, and my grandmother was scolding behind him. "

Zheng Chenglong frowned and spoke in a somewhat irritated voice. These past two days, Li Xiuqin had also been crying and making a scene with him, saying that her parents were starving to death and she still had eggs to eat, saying that she was really unfilial and so on, which almost annoyed him to death. It was useless to scold her, she was just a piece of meat on the chopping block, so he kept quiet for a while, and then continued.

"I guess we'll have to come to borrow food soon. If not, we can try to catch some game and send it secretly. Mother will definitely not agree to borrow food."

Zheng Chenghu whispered to his eldest brother. Now only the two of them had this worry. After all, it was the father-in-law's family, and it would not be good to not care about it at all.

Zheng Xinyue followed behind and listened, thinking about the books she had read. Although this was a parallel space and many things were different, the lack of food and starvation were the common points.

At this time, whoever had food was the meat in the eyes of the wolf and would become the target of public criticism.
