Since the man was paralyzed in bed, the original owner no longer had any scruples. Only then did he learn about the situation of the four children. From then on, he hated the original owner and gnashed his teeth.
The original owner was afraid of him. Even if he became paralyzed, he would not dare to enter his room casually. When the meal was ready, Dabao would bring it in.
When Qin Yue was surprised, the man was also surprised.
Usually, whenever he looked over, the village girl would immediately shrink away like a mouse meeting a cat.
Today, not only was my back straight, but I also looked back at him calmly.
"Get out." The man frowned coldly.
Qin Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, then looked away, walked straight into the house, and replied: "The children are hungry, and there is no food in the rice vat."
There was a dangerous look in the man's eyes, "If you dare to give food to your mother's family again, don't blame me for being rude!"
His voice is not loud, but it makes people feel scared.
The original owner also used this reason to ask for food, but in the end it was given to his parents' family. As a result, their family could only eat porridge and wild vegetables during that time.
"No." Qin Yue said good-naturedly.
I will never give it to them again.
Qin Yue even wanted to get back all the things she had in the past, but after all, Qin was the mother of the original owner, and filial piety was important in this world, so she should just repay the kindness of having children.
The reason why she thought that all this could repay the great kindness of having children was that the original owner had already started doing odd jobs to support the family since he was six or seven years old.
The fact that the two brothers of the Qin family were able to marry a daughter-in-law was at least one-third of the credit of the original owner.
She no longer owes the Qin family anything.
After rummaging for a long time, they only took out a palm-sized bag of grain, which was their last grain storage.
This bag will last for a while.
Ignoring the cold gaze that had been chasing her, Qin Yue steamed the rice after leaving the West Room.
While the children were not paying attention, she quietly took out some rice from the space and mixed it in, so that it could last longer.
During this time, she has to think of ways to grow some crops so that the food in the space can be passed through the open road.
Dabao was coming over with bran peel. When he saw so much white rice in the pot, a flash of panic flashed on his face.
Is she going to run away with the food?
Qin Yue was a little surprised by Dabao's reaction, but she just thought that he was afraid of her. She wiped her hands and asked, "Can you read the pot?"
Dabao nodded.
"You watch the ignition, I'll go out for a while."
Dabao followed closely, "Are you coming back?"
Qin Yue was a little surprised. She always thought that whether it was her cheap husband who was paralyzed in bed or these four baby dolls, they all hated the original owner and wanted her to die. But from what this meant, did he want her to come back?
"Do you want me to come back?"
Dabao hesitated and nodded.
Qin Yue smiled slightly, squatted down, and wanted to wipe away the stains on Dabao's face, but Dabao took a step back warily.
She didn't take it seriously, stood up and said, "I'll be back in a minute."
Not long after walking out of the courtyard, I heard the voices of the milk babies, "Brother, I don't want that bad woman to come back again. She always beats us!"
"Brother, why are you nodding? If you shake your head, that bad woman won't come back!"
Qin Yue stopped outside the fence. She was curious about what Dabao would say.
So, she first heard a mature sigh mixed with the smell of milk, which made her almost laugh out loud.
"Daddy is sick. We are still young and can't live without her for the time being. When we grow up, we won't want her!"
Hey, at such a young age, you know how to remove the mill and kill the donkey!
Qin Yue knew a long time ago that Dabao didn't really want her to go back, but she didn't expect that at such a young age, she would already start to consider such complicated matters.
Sighing, she walked towards the mountains.
She wanted to see if there was any game in the mountains.
As soon as I walked down the hillside, I saw some plants entangled among the miscellaneous trees, with red to black wild fruits hanging on them.
Qin Yue walked over in surprise.
This is the top-grade Chinese medicine Schisandra chinensis!
Its skin and flesh are sweet and sour, and its core is bitter and salty.
Regular consumption of Schisandra chinensis is suitable for nourishing the internal organs. If the fruit is used as medicine, it has antitussive, expectorant, and cardiotonic effects.
However, if you don't know how to use it, remember not to use it casually, as it is a medicine that is three parts poisonous.
In previous lives, the value of this wild Schisandra chinensis was very high, and most of them were cultivated artificially.
According to the memory of the original owner, this wild fruit is everywhere in the mountains and no one cares about it. Only children occasionally eat it as snacks.
After picking some Schisandra chinensis and putting it in her backpack, Qin Yue continued walking into the mountains. Not long after climbing the hillside, she discovered large swathes of morels.
This is a very good tonic and can also be used as medicine!
In the past, wild morels were almost extinct, and artificially cultivated ones were sold at extremely high prices. I never expected to see large tracts of wild morels here!
People in the nearby villages don't eat this kind of food, thinking that it looks similar to animal offal and will make you sick if you eat it, so no one picks it.
After that, Qin Yue discovered many wild Chinese herbal medicines and dug up many mushrooms. Not only that, she also acted as a "waiting for rabbits" and saw a dying wild rabbit under the tree.
The wild rabbit did not die after hitting a tree. It should have been bitten to death by something, but was not eaten.
There are wild animals in this mountain.
Qin Yue is well versed in medical science. After an examination, he found that the rabbit had only external injuries and no poisonous diseases, so he planned to take it back as a snack.
Because it was not far away, Qin Yue just came over casually. Considering that the milk babies were still hungry, she started to turn back.
Seeing the dilapidated house located at the foot of the mountain from a distance, obviously excluded from Zhangjia Village, Qin Yue sighed.
Through the original owner's perception, life in this world is very difficult.
The country is in turmoil. The war between the two countries has left the people in dire straits. Taxes are heavy. Many people are working hard to farm and starve to death.
When the current situation is unstable, farming becomes a problem. A natural disaster or a man-made disaster can wipe out a year's hard work.
A remote village like theirs actually found peace because of this.
Even if the door of the dilapidated house is open, no thieves will visit it. The so-called yard is just dragging wood from the mountains back and driving piles together.
When I placed my backpack next to the stove in the middle hall, I heard movement behind me.
Qin Yue knew without looking that a little guy was opening the door curtain to peek at her.
It was too late to catch the wild rabbit, so she covered it with a bamboo basket and weighed it down with stones to prevent it from being picked up by wild cats and dogs.
I took out some mushrooms from my backpack and prepared them for stir-fry at noon. In the evening, I could eat spicy rabbit cubes and some bamboo fungus soup.
Qin Yue placed the rice in the pot on the curtain, then spread a layer of cloth to keep it warm, then removed the pot and prepared for cooking.
When she was a child, she grew up in a rural area. These things looked very friendly and were not unfamiliar at all when used.
After completing her studies, she often cooked by herself, and many doctoral students also followed her to enjoy the meal.
Just after the mushrooms were blanched in boiling water, I heard a noise coming from outside.
Dabao opened the door curtain and looked outside nervously.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yue asked.
Six-year-old Dabao's eyes were filled with tears and he looked at Qin Yue in fear, "They are here again!"
"who?"
Dabao wiped away his tears with his dirty sleeves and said, "The people who came to see us."
