There was a person standing outside the forest. Liu Shufang saw that he was actually Wang Hongxia's big brother, Wang Hongjun.

He looked around as if looking for someone.

Liu Shufang frowned, her intuition telling her that this person had followed her here.

Wang Hongjun looked around and focused on the woods. He walked towards them.

Liu Shufang quickly disappeared into the void, hiding in it to watch him.

Wang Hongjun entered the forest and looked around. However, he didn't see anyone following him. His eyes flashed with a dark light as he walked into the depths of the forest.

Liu Shufang watched as his figure disappeared into the forest. She quickly left the forest and ran towards the county town.

Her heart was beating wildly. What did Wang Hongjun want to do? Did he want to do something shameful?

In the future, it was better not to take shortcuts. It was better to take a donkey cart into the city, as more people would be safer.

Luckily, when they reached the county, Wang Hongjun did not catch up with them. Liu Shufang had been on tenterhooks the entire way.

Eggs and roosters. She sold them after walking past two restaurants. At this time, it was a seller's market. There was a shortage of everything she needed, and a shortage of supplies.

After exchanging money, she couldn't even buy two catties of meat in front of her, but it was enough to treat her.

Without any meat, he had to buy the meat at a fixed price of two cents per catty. However, Liu Shufang did not feel sorry for him. What she was most afraid of was not being able to buy meat with money.

He bought five pounds of fat for his big brother and Harland. He didn't dare to buy too much for fear of arousing their suspicion. This amount was enough to feed them for a month.

She didn't have much money yesterday, so today she had enough to buy half a bag of millet from the grain store. She had some bran noodles at home, and when she and Hai Tao came back in the afternoon, she would have enough to feed her big brother and Hai Lan.

Arriving at her elder brother's house, she saw that the gates to the courtyard were open. Without knocking, she walked straight in.

"Sigh, it's all my fault. I'm a trash who implicated you."

Just as he walked to the door, he heard his brother's voice. From the sound of his guilt, he didn't need to ask since the target had to be Harland.

"What are you saying? We are a couple. I will follow you wherever you go. I am willing to serve you. "

Harland's voice was not loud, and it was always so soft, so comforting to hear.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, I'm here."

In order to not embarrass them, Liu Shufang called out to them from the doorway, and after a few seconds, she walked into the house.

"Shufang is here. Have you eaten yet?"

Harland walked out of the house with a blush on his face. He wondered if Shufang had heard what the couple had just said.

"I've finished eating. I bought some fat and some millet."

Liu Shufang took out the things in the basket and said to Harland with a smile.

"Shufang, stop spending money. I know the situation at home, it's not easy for you guys."

Harland said embarrassedly. These were things she could use, but she didn't have the money to buy them.

Mother let you buy some fat, but it's not worth much money. Xiao Mi, you guys eat first, I have some bran noodles at home. I'll send you some in the afternoon, and we'll have enough rations for one month.

Liu Shufang was afraid that Harland wouldn't accept her, so she directly brought her mother-in-law out. When Harland heard that his mother was thinking about her, his eyes became moist, and he lowered his head with a sad expression.

"Sister-in-law, no need to be upset. It's the same with being filial to my mother when you earn money. I'm going in to see my big brother. You cut the fat into pieces, just rely on the oil!"

Liu Shufang comforted him with a word of consolation, not wanting to say too much. She was afraid that if she said too much, she would be exposed. She walked into the room and saw her brother sitting on the brick bed.

"Big Brother, you're in good spirits!"

Liu Shufang smiled as she sat on the edge of the brick bed. It was not a lie, her brother's tiredness had lessened, and he looked much more energetic.

"You've eaten your fill, and you're not working either. You're just fattening yourself up, Shufang. Thank you for your hard work."

When Liu Guodong saw that his sister had arrived, his expression became somewhat lonely. He should have taken care of his little sister, so why did he change over to her now?

"What are you saying? Big Brother, we are siblings. If I, your little sister, am in trouble, can you just watch and not help? "

Liu Shufang shook her head with a smile, but the corners of her eyes were moist. Her big brother was always like this, afraid of causing trouble for others and not wanting to be a burden to others.

"No, even at the risk of my life, I have to help you."

Liu Guodong didn't even think as he answered directly with sincerity in his eyes.

Let alone his little sister, even if others were in trouble, he wouldn't sit idly by while helping them.

"Then that's it. Mom will let you and me stay. No matter who's in trouble, let's settle it together. That's more like it."

Liu Shufang took the opportunity to enlighten him, and then went to look at her big brother's ankle bones. They were all tightly wrapped up, and it seemed like he had listened obediently without making any moves.

"Big brother, you've worked hard this time. You have to take good care of yourself. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk in the future, that's just bringing trouble to sister-in-law!"

Liu Shufang stood up and was about to go back to her house. She had to treat everyone at home, so she couldn't be late.

"Are you leaving? Will you have lunch at home? "

When Liu Jianguo saw that his sister was leaving, he was reluctant to part with her and urged her to stay home for a meal.

"Big brother, Hai Tao is going to work. He's treating the Village Head to lunch today, so I have to go back and prepare."

Liu Shufang explained with a smile, and Ning Hailan walked in with a bowl of water.

"Shufang, why are you leaving? Do you think my brother wants to go to work? "Awesome."

Ning Hailan was so excited that her eyes lit up. If her brother went to work, things would be easier at home.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Liu Shufang smiled as she took the bowl and finished it in one gulp.

Hai Tao is going to work and will be leaving in the next few days. Mother said that she is grateful to the Village Head for his help.

Liu Shufang did not have much time to explain it to them, so she excused herself and went home. She found a place with no one, went into space, picked beans and eggplants, tomatoes and cucumbers, and picked more than thirty eggs. She tied a rooster to her leg and threw it into the basket.

On the way back, she held a pair of scissors in her hand. She wanted them from her sister-in-law for self-defense.

The mountain wind blew gently. Walking under the shade of a tree, he didn't feel that the sun was too poisonous, he only felt that it was hot and stuffy, as if his breathing wasn't smooth at all.

The weather in the mountain was changing. The sky was still clear just a moment ago. Dark clouds slowly accumulated in the sky and the wind also became stronger.

Liu Shufang quickened her pace. When she was close to the village entrance, the sky suddenly changed. Dark clouds covered the sun. The wind was so strong that it could blow people away. There was no one under the big tree at the village entrance.

Who would still be outside at this time? In the blink of an eye, bean-sized drops of rain began to pour down, hitting her body and causing her to feel a chill. In time, an umbrella covered her head.
