166. Chapter 166: Widow Xu Was Tied in the Courtyard

Zhao Dasao bent down and casually grabbed a rabbit by the back of its neck, lifted it up to look, and heavens, this rabbit was fat and strong, and big in size, struggling and kicking under her hand.

She didn't have a firm grip, and the rabbit kicked its legs, actually escaping from her hand and darting into the rabbit nest to hide.

Qiulian Niang on the side was amused and giggled: "Yo, this rabbit even has brute strength! It's no wonder Chunya comes to feed them three meals a day."

Zhao Dasao scratched her head: "The rabbits I raise are also fed by Chunya, why didn't they grow this big?"

"Speaking of which, the two rabbits Sister Chunya raises should be giving birth, right?" Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly changed the subject, "It's autumn now, fresh green grass is hard to find, so try to dry the grass feed as much as possible. Rabbits can't drink too much water, and rabbits are timid by nature and will grow faster and better in a dimly lit environment. If raised well, one rabbit can produce more than sixty cubs a year..."

"There are so many rules to raising rabbits." Zhao Dasao hurriedly wrote down Jiang Xiaoxiao's words, "No wonder the rabbits in your house are raised fat and big. I'll have Chunmiao build a few rabbit nests when I get home."

"But to be honest, you have too many rabbits. When there are too many livestock at home, it's not easy to manage, and they are prone to illness..." Qiulian Niang looked around the backyard; it was either chickens or sheep, and now there were five more pigs. In her ears, it was either "cluck cluck cluck" or "baa baa" sounds.

"I see your family has a relationship with the restaurant in town; you might as well sell a portion to them first. Not only can you earn a sum of money, but the burden at home can also be reduced a lot."

"Qiulian Niang's words make sense." Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded as if in agreement, "I'll discuss it with my mother tonight."

However, it wasn't to discuss selling poultry meat to the restaurant, but to slaughter a portion of the rabbits at home first and stockpile a large wave of rabbit fur before winter comes.

Rabbit fur and rabbit meat are both good things. Rabbit fur can be used to make scarves, rabbit fur boots, winter hats, rabbit fur cloaks... these are all good things for keeping warm in winter.

As for rabbit meat, her family isn't short of money now anyway, so there's no need to sell the rabbit meat to the restaurant for a little money. Slaughtered rabbit meat can be cleaned and stored in her mother's space, kept to eat slowly. Having a rabbit meat hot pot in winter, wouldn't that be wonderful...

"Speaking of which... why didn't I see the Zhao family come to the banquet today?" Zhao Dasao mentioned as if inadvertently.

After speaking, seeing Qiulian Niang and Jiang Xiaoxiao both looking at her, she hurriedly explained: "Don't think blindly; I just find it strange. Zhao Wulai's mother is usually such a person who loves to take advantage, why didn't she come to sponge a meal today?"

"Now that you mention it, I remember." Qiulian Niang said, "I heard Dalin's wife mention it casually this morning. When she passed by the Zhao house today, she saw Zhao Wulai's mother using an iron chain to tie Widow Xu in the courtyard..."

"What? Tied up!" Zhao Dasao was startled, "How can you tie a person alive in the courtyard? What is the Zhao family trying to do?"

Although she really dislikes Widow Xu, who snatched her ex-husband, she still couldn't bear to hear her being treated like that.

"Forget it, this is all their family's business, let's not interfere." Qiulian Niang, holding the attitude of "more is worse than less," shook her head and said.

Jiang Xiaoxiao listened to these words and vaguely guessed what Zhao Wulai's mother was going to do.

The Zhao family owes a huge tax to the government and can't borrow money or grain in the village to repay it, so they can only find another way. Widow Xu is probably going to be...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes darkened.

At the same time.

In the Li family's latrine, Li Family Old Woman's wailing continued to come out.

"What's going on? What exactly is going on?" Li Family Old Man was so anxious that his lips were almost inflamed. The old woman had gone back and forth several times, why wasn't she better yet?

"Father, I think there's a problem with the Jiang family's food." Zhu Shi on the side pinched her nose and looked towards the latrine from time to time, thinking: This dead old woman ate so much good stuff at the Jiang family, why is her poop so smelly?

Hmph, serves her right, who told them to go to the Jiang family to eat good food without taking her!

Zhu Shi was both vicious and gloating in her heart. She turned her head and saw Li Shoude, who had changed his clothes, walking out of the East Room, holding the long gown that was full of the stench of feces and urine, and immediately stepped back two steps in disgust.

Li Shoude's expression was very ugly. Today he specifically wore the long gown he had always been reluctant to wear to the Jiang family, not expecting to be covered in feces and urine, stinking to the heavens. A perfectly good set of clothes was ruined just like that, which made him very angry.

But the one who covered him in feces and urine was his own mother, so he couldn't show his anger on the surface.

"If it's a problem with the Jiang family's food, why are we fine after eating it?" Li Family Old Man was very puzzled. Clearly, everyone ate the same food, why was it that only the old woman had a stomach upset?

Usually, the old woman's body wasn't this bad...

Just as he was wondering, Li Family Old Woman walked out of the latrine, trembling while clutching her stomach, still wailing: "Ouch, it hurts me to death... you are all blind bastards, don't you know to come and help me!"

Li Family Old Woman had almost collapsed from diarrhea, her two calves were trembling non-stop, and she looked weak, but her cursing voice was still sharp and ear-piercing, her arrogance still high.

However, in the whole family, no one moved.

Li Family Old Woman had spent almost all her time in the latrine since rushing back from the Jiang family, and hadn't even had time to change her clothes, and the feces and urine on them had dried.

Several people silently looked at the dirty stuff that was almost caked on Li Family Old Woman's clothes, and hurriedly looked away, pretending to be busy.

"Ouch, Mother, this won't do, I'd better go and invite Doctor Zhou to come and take a look at you!" Seeing Li Family Old Woman look at her suddenly, Zhu Shi hurriedly ran away.

"This lazy woman, why don't I see you being so diligent usually!" Li Family Old Woman gritted her teeth in anger, knowing that Zhu Shi was disgusted by her and deliberately slipped away, so she could only cast her gaze towards the eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Shi.

Sun Shi stood silently in the corner, looking as if she had aged ten years overnight, her face haggard and dazed. Seeing her look over, she immediately turned her face away ruthlessly and walked away.

"Good!" Li Family Old Woman couldn't bear it anymore and immediately cursed angrily, "I see you two, do you think I, this old woman, am dead! You even dare not listen to my words! Watch me teach you a lesson today..."

Before she finished speaking, she clutched her stomach and wailed in pain again.

Li Family Old Man had no choice but to go up and help her himself.

Li Family Old Woman clutched his sleeve tightly in pain, her mouth still unable to stop cursing: "This eldest daughter-in-law is really rebellious! She actually dares to give me a cold shoulder; I'm going to make Shoude divorce her today!"

"Hey, alright, just say a few words less!" Li Family Old Man sighed helplessly, "The eldest daughter-in-law is still angry with us, don't blame her..." ===== CHAPTER 167 =====
