He has a spatial ability and saves three children on his escape route.

Chapter 10 The Wild Goat is Gone

The first to break the silence was Wen Zisong, who said with dissatisfaction, "Mom, the sheep was hunted by Daya, why are you sending it to Grandma's house?"

“That’s right. How the sheep are distributed is up to Daya. Grandma’s family doesn’t like Daya, so she’s unlikely to agree to her mother’s request,” Wen Zibai chimed in.

Of the three brothers, the most honest, Wen Zihua, didn't express an opinion, but his facial expression clearly showed his disapproval of his mother's statement.

The sheep belonged to his eldest niece, and according to him, it should be taken to town to be exchanged for silver, which would then belong to his eldest niece.

Aunt Yang shook her round face and said with a sheepish smile, "Da Ya, you can't write two 'warm' characters with one stroke. Your eldest cousin and the others haven't tasted meat in a long time. Look, how about we slaughter a sheep for them tomorrow to make up for it?"

“Sister-in-law is right. Rather than having Mother send the goat back to her parents’ home for her uncles to eat, it would be better to let Xiao Shi and the others have some to eat.”

Second Aunt Zhang was the most cunning. Instead of mentioning her own craving for meat, she used Wen Yunyu, the youngest son of the third wife who had just turned one year old, as a shield.

Wen Zihua's wife, Hua, was usually competitive and assertive, never giving an inch to her two sisters-in-law, but she never had any intention of taking advantage of Wen Yuxia and her brother.

In her words, the two children were pitiful because they had no parents. She couldn't help them, but she also wouldn't want to cause them distress.

"Oh, Second Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Yu'er has just turned one year old, she's still very energetic, she doesn't need any supplements," Madam Hua said with a smile.

Turning to Wen Yuxia, he said, "Da Ya, tomorrow have your third uncle accompany you to town to sell the goat. Keep the money as your dowry."

Wen Yuxia lowered her head and said meekly, "Yes, Third Aunt."

"You wicked Hua Shi! This old woman isn't even dead yet, and you're already trying to dictate things for Daya, even before I've done it! I'll tear your mouth apart..."

Wen Linshi was being bullied by her son and daughter-in-law and was looking for a scapegoat when Hua Shi conveniently showed up. Wen Linshi vented all her anger on Hua Shi.

Hua's most notable trait is her thick skin. As long as Wen Lin doesn't lay a hand on her, she won't get angry no matter how much Wen Lin scolds her. She'll just stand there with a silly grin, staring at Wen Lin, ready to run away at any moment.

"Dad, stop smoking there in silence. Mom and my sister-in-law are about to fight. You tell me, how are we going to divide these two sheep?" Wen Zisong said anxiously to Wen Dashan.

Wen Dashan squatted silently at the door of the woodshed, smoking his pipe. His wife said she wanted to send a sheep to her father's house, but he disagreed. His eldest daughter-in-law suggested killing the sheep for meat so the whole family could have some nourishment, and he silently supported her.

As for the third child, the couple has always been like this, never fighting or grabbing. If they were to be given a share, they wouldn't refuse.

However, he couldn't just express his opinion casually; he had to figure out what Da Ya's attitude was and take Da Ya's opinion as the standard.

It has to be said that among the entire Wen family, Wen Dashan was the most concerned, wanting to protect the interests of Wen Yuxia and her brother, while also wanting his other three sons to get a share as well.

"Da Ya, what do you say?" Wen Dashan looked up.

Wen Yuxia yawned and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want me to say? I'm tired, sleepy, and hungry. Let's talk about it tomorrow." With that, she locked the woodshed, picked up her basket, and led Wen Yunhong to the front yard.

Tonight, I must put the sheep into my spatial storage and find time to send them to Xiaowang Village next door, where my grandparents will take care of them, so that the Wen family won't try to take the sheep again.

Oh, by the way, you can send some wild eggs and wild vegetables to your third uncle.

As Wen Yuxia walked, she meticulously planned out the destinations for the two wild goats.

As for the two animals in the space, when her grandparents were alive, they loved cleanliness and never kept livestock in the front or back yards of the villa. Now, she doesn't want to keep livestock in the space either, so she'd rather sell them and turn them into money to save herself the trouble.

"Old woman, stop making a scene. Go back inside and eat. Didn't you hear Daya saying she's hungry?" Wen Dashan said coldly.

Not having received a decision on what to do with the two sheep, Wen Zisong and the others weren't in a hurry. After all, Daya had said they'd discuss the distribution tomorrow morning.

Everyone returned to their rooms. Wen Yuxia and her brother quickly washed themselves with well water, then went back to their room for dinner. After finishing a bowl of wild vegetable and coarse rice porridge, the two siblings lay sprawled on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Grandma, there are 15 wild eggs and some shepherd's purse in the basket," Wen Yuxia mumbled sleepily, then turned over and instantly fell asleep.

The door to the third couple's house was ajar, and Wen Yuxia had already put five wild eggs and two bunches of shepherd's purse into their room.

"Father, where did these wild eggs and shepherd's purse come from?" When Madam Hua returned to her room, she immediately saw five wild eggs nestled among the fresh, tender shepherd's purse on the table.

Wen Yunyu, lying on the kang (heated brick bed), opened her eyes wide and said in a childish voice, "Mother, I know, it was my eldest cousin who brought it in."

Just now, he woke up needing to urinate but didn't see his parents, so he couldn't hold it in and wet the bed. Wen Yuxia pushed the door open and entered. He thought his parents had gone back to their room, so he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Hua was speechless. This little brat was quite cunning. With a wry smile, she lifted him off the kang (heated brick bed) and asked Yang Zihua to help change the wet straw and sheets. She then busied herself cleaning Yang Yunyu's bottom.

"Father, should we accept it or not?" Madam Hua was very conflicted. Accepting it would be a little embarrassing, but not accepting it meant giving away such precious eggs to Daya.

Wen Zihua said with a simple smile, "Since Da Ya is so sincere in giving it to us, we'll accept it. Tomorrow, we'll have Chen'er help Da Ya and the others gather some firewood." He was honest but not stupid. He knew that if his older brother found out that he had given something to Da Ya and then returned it, it would cause trouble for her.

In the middle of the night, Wen Yuxia secretly got up, took out a pair of sneakers from her spatial storage, put them on, used her light-footed skill to fly out of the window, put the two goats in the woodshed into her spatial storage, and then quietly sneaked back into her room, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and fell into a deep sleep.

Before dawn, the Wen family courtyard was bustling with activity. There was a loud banging on Wen Yuxia's door. "Father, Mother, Daya, something terrible has happened! The goat is missing!"

The goat was gone, and Wen Dashan was so startled that he was jolted awake. He sat up abruptly on the kang (a heated brick bed) and patted Wen Yunhong and Wen Linshi, who were sleeping on either side of him, awake.

She was still shouting, "Da Ya, get up! The sheep are gone!"

It turned out that Yang hadn't slept well all night. She got up before dawn to use the outhouse and also took a stroll through the woodshed. She peeked through the crack in the door for a while but didn't see the goat.

So they went back inside and called Wen Zisong. The couple looked left and right but couldn't see any goats. Wen Zisong got anxious and used an axe to chop a hole in the woodshed door. They saw that there were no goats inside.

Then she ran to the front yard and knocked on the door of the fourth room. Yang was not idle either; she knocked loudly on the doors of the second and third rooms.
