Daughter-in-law Zhao Hehua carefully held a bowl of dark porridge and handed it to Ye Chuqiu.
Ye Chuqiu weakly waved her hand, her eyes blank and filled with a lifeless silence.
Under her body was a broken bamboo mat, with shadows of trees dancing above her head. Looking further ahead, the scorching sun was as hot as fire, cracking the earth.
"Didn't this old pious woman from the Lin family get angry to death when I heard she was alive again?"
"No, she beats and scolds her children every day. Instead, she blows her natal nephew to the sky, saying that he is a Wenquxing who has descended to earth. In the future, she can follow suit and become an official's wife. Guess what the result is? This
The first time she went to borrow food from her nephew, her sister-in-law scolded her until she fainted!"
"She is forced to turn her elbows outward every day. She is already dozens of years old and she still can't lift it clearly. If you ask me, it would be better if she died, so as to save the children in her family from suffering along with her!"
"Good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years. How do you think she has such good luck? All the children in the family are capable and filial, but they all fled, and they even used a cart to pull her. I'm afraid it will be replaced by an unfilial one.
I don’t know which corner of the mountain to dump her in.”
Children who didn't know how to feel sad were jumping around, and men and women from various families were sitting under the shade of the trees. The sound of talking and quarreling was so loud that it made her ears hurt.
At this moment, on the way to escape, the story that she was scolded to death by her mother-in-law's sister-in-law has undoubtedly become their only remedy.
They were right. The original owner was scolded by her wife and sister-in-law, and she was so angry that she was scolded to death. Therefore, this person who came back to life became her.
How could she, a great young man in the 21st century, become a thirty-year-old woman with four sons, one daughter, and a granddaughter?
Moreover, now they were still on the road to escape from the famine. It was just that they lacked food and clothing. They could still use the sky as a blanket and the earth as a mat. Thinking of this, Ye Chuqiu almost wanted to die.
Oh my god, she just made a random wish on her birthday and said she didn't want to get married or have children, so why should she be treated like this?
She guessed that God must think she was very humorous.
Don’t you want to get married or have children?
Now, you don’t need to get married and have children. I will directly give you four good sons and a good daughter. Aren’t you happy?
She was happy, she was really happy to death.
"Mother~"
Seeing her looking up at the sky without speaking, Zhao Hehua called her timidly again. Seeing Ye Chuqiu finally turned her head, she lowered her head and handed the porridge over, "Drink the porridge."
"What kind of porridge is this?"
Ye Chuqiu glanced at the bowl of dark porridge with disgust in his eyes, "What is this? This is what, in the 21st century, even dogs wouldn't eat it."
"Bitter herbs, purslane, and field mouse meat."
Zhao Hehua did not miss the displeasure in Ye Chuqiu's eyes, and only lowered her head.
When she lowered her head, a baby girl who was less than one year old was revealed on her back. This was Hehua's daughter Qiao'er. She was very thin and had big eyes. She seemed to be looking forward to the bowl of goo in her eyes.
"Mouse meat?" Ye Chuqiu's eyes widened.
"It's vole meat. This morning, Dahu and the others smoked it out and got three of them. One was roasted by my sister, one was divided between my two brothers, and I cleaned up the other one and put it all in my mother's bowl.
It’s in.”
Zhao Hehua didn't dare to raise her drooped head. My mother was used to living a good life. She must have felt uncomfortable if she suddenly went out to escape the famine and ate such poor food.
Sure enough, Zhao Hehua heard Ye Chuqiu say: "You can eat it yourself, mother won't eat it."
"Mom, please eat some. If you don't eat, my husband will definitely scold me." Zhao Hehua raised her head and begged, with fear even in her eyes.
"You go ahead and eat. You can feed yourself after you eat."
It's not that Ye Chuqiu is being pretentious, it's true that she really can't eat this food, and she still can't accept the fact that she's dressed like an old lady.
"Lotus, what's wrong? Why don't you wait for your mother to drink the porridge?"
At this moment, a tall young man walked over. This young man was wearing a pair of straw sandals and a short coat, exposing the strong muscles on his arms.
This young man is none other than her eldest son, Lin Dahu.
"Mom refuses to eat." Zhao Hehua lowered her head and said.
"Mom, why don't you eat? Do you not like to eat?"
Lin Dahu turned around and scolded Zhao Hehua: "Hehua, what did you do? You can't even cook a meal. Mom has suffered so much this time, why don't you give her a good meal and let her make up for it?"
After scolding him, he slapped himself in the face again, "Mom, you are a useless child. Let me suffer such a big crime and suffer such great injustice together with my son."
Ye Chuqiu's husband was forced to join the army many years ago. Over the years, he has received military salary one after another, but the original owner gave the subsidies to his natal family and her good nephew.
Already.
But this time, there was a natural disaster and the family had no income. When the original owner heard that his nephew was admitted as a scholar, he thought of going to his parents' house to borrow some money. Instead, he was scolded by his sister-in-law, calling her shameless and looking for a married daughter.
It's really embarrassing for her parents to ask for money. If her parents gave birth to her, they might as well stuff it back and wait.
Over the years, the original owner has treated her natal family like gods. The words of her natal parents are heard in her ears as if they were imperial edicts. Usually when she goes back to her natal family, her sister-in-law treats her with courtesy and a lot of nice words. Her nephew
Her son also called her aunt affectionately.
Who would have thought that this time, her face would suddenly change and she would scold her like this?
The original owner was unstoppable for a moment and fainted from anger. After returning home, he was so angry that he died.
Without borrowing food, he would not be able to survive this year's famine. Lin Dahu, the eldest son of the original owner, immediately decided to escape from the famine. When he saw that the original owner was still breathing, he pulled him with him. Little did he know that this man who had survived had already
Became Ye Chuqiu.
This child is quite filial. It was obviously the original owner who subsidized all the money to his parents' family, which caused the family to end up in such a bad situation, but he only blames himself.
Moreover, at this moment, he deliberately scolded his wife just to protect her from being scolded by him.
Ye Chuqiu had a clear conscience, but did not expose it. He only said: "It's not your wife's fault. It's my mother who has no appetite and can't eat."
When she said this, her stomach growled unsatisfactorily, and she added: "If there is still food at home, I can make a bowl of porridge for my mother."
After Zhao Hehua heard Ye Chuqiu's kind words, she was very surprised for a moment. It was strange that her mother-in-law didn't blame herself and said it was none of her business?
You must know that in the past, because she only gave birth to a daughter, and she was slightly unsatisfied, Ye Chuqiu would curse her and treat her worse than a dog.
My husband was a filial man, so in order to dispel his mother's anger, he could only scold himself along with her.
Before she had time to think about it, she heard Lin Dahu say to her: "Didn't you hear what mom said? Mom is hungry. Take the bag of wheat seeds at home and cook some for her."
