The mattresses that Xie Wu and her daughter had used over the years were naturally not very soft. The cotton padding inside had long since become worn out from sleeping, and the cotton was hard.
If Xu Chunxiu had not always been diligent in cleaning them and had always worked hard to beat the cotton when drying them, these mattresses would have been as hard as stone.
However, even so, when the two mattresses were stacked together, the comfort level was still better than the temporary nest of the wolf cub when he slept in the mountains, especially the sheets on top, which had a pleasant smell of soapberries, so the originally restless wolf cub calmed down.
Just looking at the empty and enclosed room, the wolf cub still felt a little uncomfortable. He whimpered softly and shook his bound legs. When he found a little space to move, he howled and dragged the quilt with his mouth, moving hard.
After a lot of effort, he finally carried the quilt to the door where Ah Wu disappeared, then jumped on the quilt, chose a more comfortable posture, and fell asleep.
In his dream, his shaved hair grew back, thick and smooth. The bald female was immediately attracted by his beautiful hair and agreed to become his partner. A few months later, their children were born. They were cute cubs without alopecia and covered with beautiful fur.
After half a year, after leaving the tribe and living a long life of wandering and hunger, the wolf cub fell asleep for the first time in an environment with enough food and warm clothes.
This dream is so beautiful.

“That unlucky star is indeed unlucky.”
Miao Fengmei tossed and turned on the kang, muttering to herself.
She knew that her sons and daughters-in-law complained that she loved her daughter more than her sons, but Miao Fengmei believed that her bias was not without reason.
At that time, a witch was sent down from their village. It was said that she was a shaman. She was criticized and reformed for engaging in feudal superstition. Perhaps because she had suffered a lot before, when she was sent to their village, the witch had already become a little crazy.
That time, she went down with her daughter-in-law who was six months pregnant, and they happened to meet the witch.
She pointed at her and Xu Chunxiu’s stomachs and said that one of them was a lucky star while the other was a dead star. One would bring good luck to the family and make the family prosperous, while the other was full of tricks but could only cause the whole family to be destroyed because of her.
Because of the witch’s madness, Miao Fengmei didn’t take those words to heart at first.
But on the day her daughter was born, the heavy rain that had lasted for many days suddenly stopped. The third son was also promoted to an officer that year. The family’s life became more and more prosperous.
Miao Fengmei had to start thinking over and over again about the prophecy of the witch that day.
Unfortunately, the other party jumped into the river and committed suicide not long after she made the prophecy, so when Miao Fengmei wanted to find another expert to ask, she couldn’t find one.
Miao Fengmei had never said these words to anyone else. As for Xu Chunxiu, she probably had long forgotten the nonsense the witch said that day.
Now that the third son had separated from her, it seemed to have verified the witch’s prophecy that day.
Xie Wu was a jinx, and because her existence had caused the third son to become estranged from her. He would rather risk being branded as an unfilial son than not separate from them.
Thinking more deeply, Xu Sanqiang picked up a wild kid who was raised by animals in the mountains. The whole village drew lots together, but so many people didn’t get the sign, but the third son got it.
Did it mean that the bad luck of the jinx had affected the fortune of the third son’s family?
Otherwise, why would such a big trouble fall on him?
Miao Fengmei was a little worried, but more of a relief. She was waiting for the third son’s family to be reduced to poverty by that unlucky star. By then, the third son would know that she, his mother, was the only one in the world who would not harm him.
As for Xiuzhu, that child was blessed with great fortune.
Miao Fengmei recalled that her precious daughter seemed a little depressed today. It happened that she still had a lot of unused clothes tickets that she had saved up before. When there was a market in a while, she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to cut some fabrics for her daughter to make a new dress.
Thinking of the big gold ring and big gold bracelet that her daughter would give to her as a gift after she became successful in the future, Miao Fengmei slowly let out a breath of depression.
Isn’t it just a separation of the family?
Anyway, she hasn’t seen her son for two or three years, so she just pretends that her son has never come back.
