Chapter 106

"Sure." Jiang Wei didn't refuse.

Hearing this, Chunya almost jumped up with joy: "Thank you, Auntie Jiang, I will definitely take good care of the little rabbit!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled her to the rabbit nest and let her pick one at will.

Chunya picked a pregnant mother rabbit.

Jiang Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Chunya would pick a pregnant mother rabbit instead of picking those cute and lively little rabbits.

She looked at the mother rabbit Chunya picked. Its size was as fat as a big fat cat, and its belly was round.

It wouldn't be long before this mother rabbit gave birth.

Chunya buried her head, her voice as low as a mosquito: "Little sister Xiaoxiao, if I raise some rabbits at home, in the future... can I take them to town to sell for money?"

"Of course you can." Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled. Although Chunya was young, she looked more decisive than her sister Chunmiao, and her brain was also bright, "Many restaurants in town accept game, including meat rabbits. You can ask the restaurants in town when you raise the rabbits well."

"Really! That's great!" Knowing that her plan was feasible, Chunya couldn't stop her joy.

Rabbits not only reproduced but also grew very fast. A rabbit could produce sixty cubs a year, and they could grow up in three months. A mother rabbit took about a month from pregnancy to birth. If this thing was developed, it was also a good thing that could make money.

And raising rabbits had almost no cost. Rabbits mainly ate grass, and grass could be seen everywhere on the road and in the mountains, so it didn't cost any money at all.

Chunya went out to find green grass with full joy.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took advantage of her absence to put some ability water into the water tank on the side.

As her ability tier gradually increased, her mother didn't let her use ability water to feed the poultry at home.

The sheep, rabbits, and chickens that had drunk ability water grew extremely strong. If this went on for a long time, she was afraid there would be problems.

But if she didn't feed them ability water at all, these poultry would go on strike and wouldn't eat or drink. Jiang Xiaoxiao was helpless and could only mix ability water with ordinary well water to feed them.

Chunya soon came back with a full stack of green grass, threw it on the ground, and started to cut the green grass with a guillotine with full energy.

As the saying goes, "Cut the feed grass three times, and it will gain weight even without feed." Cutting the whole grass into small sections of appropriate size would definitely make the meat rabbits gain weight.

Chunya carefully fed her family's rabbits, but she didn't doubt why these rabbits grew so fat and strong.

After the work at home was arranged, Jiang Wei packed up and called Jiang Xiaoxiao to go up the mountain to find stones.

As soon as the mother and daughter walked out of the courtyard gate, they bumped into a few women who were digging wild vegetables on the mountain, always passing by their house intentionally or unintentionally, constantly looking at their courtyard.

These past few days, they had been digging cellars and building kilns, which had clearly attracted the attention of many people.

"Cough cough." Jiang Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and deliberately raised her voice: "Aunts, do you want to come to my house to sit? It's so tiring to stand outside and watch."

The few aunts were caught red-handed peeking and said awkwardly: "That, Xiaoxiao, we have things to do, so we won't go."

After saying this, the few dispersed one after another and didn't dare to stay any longer.

Jiang Wei frowned tightly, and a rare look of impatience appeared on her face: "These people are really endless."

"Forget it." Jiang Xiaoxiao comforted her by pulling her mother's sleeve, "Let's endure it for a few more days. When the house is built, they won't be able to see anything."

After all, her family made money and spent wages to hire people to work in the village, which would inevitably attract jealousy and red eyes from the villagers.

The mother and daughter walked along the mountain road up the mountain. When they reached the outer edge of the mountain, they naturally encountered many farm women digging wild vegetables.

They deliberately avoided them and walked on paths with few people, but unexpectedly met Widow Xu.

Widow Xu carried a basket on her arm. She didn't know what she had experienced recently, but she looked listless and very tired, as if she had suddenly aged ten years.

"Look, it's that vixen!"

Just as Widow Xu was walking properly, a few children suddenly rushed out of the forest, picked up stones, and threw them at Widow Xu.

"My mother said she is a cheap person, a vixen who specializes in seducing men!"

"We want to act on behalf of heaven and beat this vixen to death!"

The children seemed to be encouraged, or perhaps they felt it was fun. They cursed with harsh and unpleasant dirty words while constantly picking up stones and throwing them hard at Widow Xu.

Widow Xu blocked with her hands in a panic, but was still hit on the forehead, and blood flowed out.

When the children saw this, they were not afraid, but instead clapped their hands and cheered, throwing stones at Widow Xu even harder.

If this went on, it would cost a life. Jiang Xiaoxiao wanted to step forward to stop them, but was pulled by her mother.

"Hey, what are you children doing!"

Just at this moment, another person drilled out of the forest. It was Liu Dagang, who stepped forward and scolded the children who were throwing stones.

"Dazhuang's mother said she is a cheap person, so we..." The children argued unconvinced.

But halfway through their words, Widow Xu seemed unable to bear it anymore, sat on the ground, covered her face, and burst into tears.

She cried heart-rendingly, scaring all the children in the circle.

They hit Widow Xu because it was fun. Now seeing her sitting on the ground crying, they were afraid of causing trouble, so they scattered like birds and beasts.

Liu Dagang originally just came up the mountain to check the situation of the ditch. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing. He was most afraid of women crying. Just when he was in a dilemma, Widow Xu, who was crying halfway, suddenly covered her belly and retched.

Seeming to realize something, Widow Xu's tear-red face turned pale in an instant.

"T-this, is this..." Liu Dagang stood frozen on the spot, making an incredulous sound.

Widow Xu carried her bamboo basket and fled in a panic.

Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side was also stunned: "Could this Widow Xu..."

Widow Xu's husband had been dead for two years. This sudden retching was probably pregnant...

"This look is estimated to be entangled with Zhao Wulai." Jiang Wei's voice sounded in her ear, "Fortunately, Chunmiao and her mother left Zhao Wulai, otherwise I don't know what kind of mess it would be."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed silently.

Come to think of it, the culprit of all this was still Zhao Wulai. If he had controlled his lower body, there wouldn't be so many troublesome things.

However, it was a good thing that Zhao Dasao could leave him through this matter, and Chunmiao and Chunya could be considered to have escaped the sea of suffering.

Not saying anything more about this matter, the mother and daughter continued to walk toward the mountain.

They specifically chose mountain roads with few people and walked for nearly an hour before finally arriving in the deep mountains where there was no one.

Besides trees, there were the most stones on the mountain, but not every stone could be used to burn lime.

Jiang Wei scanned the surroundings and said: "Within a radius of a hundred miles, there must be stones that can be used for calcining lime. Stones that are green are the best, while yellow-white ones are worse..."
