"Yunshuang, just go out and admit your mistake.
She is my mother after all, what can I do?"
Xu Lanhe let out a long sigh, then squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
Liu Yunshuang, who was lying on the kang, opened her eyes slowly and looked at the dark walls and the light bulb hanging from the ceiling, a little dazed.
Isn't this what the Xu family's old house looks like?
Suddenly, she sat up abruptly from the kang.
Her eyes can still see, what's going on?
"My legs, my hands~"
Liu Yunshuang was completely confused. Hadn't her hands and feet been crippled by Xu Zhiwei's husband?
Didn't I die too? What's going on now?
The huge shock made her unable to recover.
"Are your hands and feet numb? Hurry up and get up. You've been lying there for a long time. It's almost time for lunch."
Hearing the voice, she turned back suddenly and met Xu Lanhe's eyes.
"Oh my god~"
Liu Yunshuang covered her mouth in disbelief. At this time, Xu Lanhe was not yet hunched over and had gray hair.
He looks to be in his early thirties.
Seeing her like this, the man also stood up and sat on the edge of the kang.
"Yunshuang, please bear with it for a while and bow your head to your mother.
The house is empty anyway, so let the third brother and his wife and my younger sister move in, and we will have more space."
"What house are you talking about? My house?"
Liu Yunshuang hesitated a little and asked tentatively.
"Yes, you are confused after sleeping so much. Isn't it that house?
Our father passed away early, and it was not easy for our mother to raise us brothers alone.
Yunshuang, you can't make her angry anymore."
Although it was a little hard to believe, she seemed to have really been reborn.
It was back to 1978, when her mother-in-law wanted her to give her parents' house to the third son and his wife and her younger sister-in-law.
If she remembered correctly, it should be July now.
At this time, her dowry had not been stolen and there was no flood in the Red Star Production Team.
Her three children are all alive and well, but her husband is still brainwashing her in various ways.
Thinking of her tragic experience in her previous life, Liu Yunshuang's eyes turned red and she stared at the man in front of her.
Her misfortune was all caused by him, and she instantly found an outlet for her venting.
"You only have your mother and your sister in your heart. What about me and my three children?
It's not easy for her. That's your father's fault. What does it have to do with me?
If you can't bear it, then go to his grave and cry, and tell me what to say."
Xu Lanhe never thought that Liu Yunshuang would actually say such a thing, and he was so angry that he trembled all over.
"You, you are not filial~"
In rural areas at that time, the word "filial piety" was more important than anything else.
Trying to use this to pressure her is a real miscalculation.
"Xu Lanhe, just forget about being a coward.
You still want to drag us mothers to be your scapegoats? I tell you, it's impossible."
Her voice was not small, and the people in the yard must have been able to hear it.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the wailing of Old Mrs. Xu was heard.
"Oh, what a sin I have committed, marrying an ancestor and worshipping him~
In the middle of the day, I still asked my mother-in-law to cook.
Your mother's family has been wiped out, and you are still reluctant to give up a shabby house..."
Liu Yunshuang jumped up and ran to the door without even putting on her shoes.
The door was suddenly opened, and Old Mrs. Xu, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned for a moment.
"Look at you, what are you doing?
I said a few words to you and you are still not happy, what's the matter, do you want to go to heaven?"
"Fuck your grandma, you are obsessed with my house, you old woman, you will die a miserable death.
You are buried up to your neck in the dirt, and you keep grumbling every day. Are you afraid that you will become mute tomorrow?"
Everyone in the yard was stunned.
Liu Yunshuang actually dared to scold Old Mrs. Xu. Is she crazy?
The first person to react was the sister-in-law Xu Lanchun, who immediately took up her position and pointed at her to accuse her.
"Second sister-in-law, you must be possessed by evil spirits. How dare you make our mother so angry just because of a shabby house?"
"You're still thinking about this broken house? What's the matter? The Xu family can't accommodate you anymore. Get out and have fun."
"you…"
Xu Lanchun had never been humiliated like this before. She had always been the treasure of the family.
I am spoiled by my parents and my three brothers.
"Second brother, are you still going to care? Your wife is so mad at me, and you're still scolding me?"
Xu Lanhe naturally felt sorry for his sister, and Liu Yunshuang's behavior was extremely rebellious.
It's rare that an honest person also has a gloomy face.
"Yunshuang, kneel down and admit your mistake to your mother."
Liu Yunshuang sneered, looked at the man in front of her, and said "Pooh".
At that time, their family background was not good, so her parents chose Xu Lanhe from the same village for her.
I think he is an honest man, so I won't be bullied if I marry him in the future.
"You are dreaming, Xu Lanhe, don't forget that I am your wife.
You are such a man for helping them bully me!"
"Then what do you want me to do? She's my mother~"
There was helplessness in his voice and he squatted down again out of habit.
"Look at you, what you have done to my second brother.
You are such a troublemaker. I shouldn't have let you come to our house in the first place."
Xu Lanhe's performance has already stood on the moral high ground.
At this time, Xu Lanchun came out to criticize again.
Based on her previous personality, she would definitely compromise.
But no one expected that Liu Yunshuang in front of them had already died once.
The core and the inside have been changed, and it will no longer be bullied and trampled upon at will.
"If I don't come to your house, who will take care of your daughter? Who will take the blame for you, a slut?
You must have forgotten that the child you carried for ten months still calls me mom."
No one expected that Xu Lanchun's fig leaf would be lifted so blatantly by her.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Just now, all the attention was on Old Lady Xu and Xu Lanchun.
She also did not notice Xu Zhiwei who suddenly appeared. This was her nominal second daughter, but also the executioner who sent her to hell.
Her body instinctively made her shrink back.
Then he thought that Xu Zhiwei was just a ten-year-old girl and couldn't cause any big waves.
"Okay, stop pretending. You already know I'm not your biological mother, right?
Who are you showing this to?"
Everyone in the yard was shocked, especially Xu Zhiwei, who looked incredulous.
"System, how did she know?"
She widened her eyes. She had clearly heard Xu Zhiwei's voice just now, but her mouth didn't move.
"Host, I'm not very clear about this either.
Did she hear you guys talking sometime?"
"That's impossible. I've always been very careful."
This time it was Liu Yunshuang's turn to be shocked. Who was the system?
How did they communicate without opening their mouths?
Why didn't others react at all?
How many secrets does Xu Zhiwei have?
The older generation called their parents "father and mother", and the younger generation changed it to "father and mother". This was also a social trend at the time. Don't get me wrong, the names are not wrong~ She suddenly felt that her brain was not enough and she had to sort it out.
He didn't care about other people's expressions and ran straight into the house.
"Look at this, what's wrong with you? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
He didn't care about the screams of ghosts and wolves outside. He just lay straight on the kang and began to recall the nightmare from his previous life.
In her previous life, her sister-in-law Xu Lanchun became pregnant before marriage.
She gave birth to a girl, who was only one month younger than her eldest daughter, Xu Zhiqing.
The mother-in-law took the baby in and raised it for her, and told others that she had given birth to twins.
She wanted to preserve her sister-in-law's reputation, and her husband also felt sorry for his sister, so under a lot of pressure, she had no choice but to accept it.
However, her second daughter Xu Zhiwei became her lifelong nightmare.
It was only after I died that I realized the world I lived in was a novel.
The heroine is Xu Zhiwei, and she is the cannon fodder female supporting role who bullies the heroine, a vicious aunt.
She knew from a young age that her biological mother was Xu Lanchun, and she was not close to the second wife's family.
But she had also taught her sincerely.
However, Xu Lanchun accused them of abuse, which caused Xu's mother to treat their second wife's child harshly in various ways.
Over time, Xu Zhiwei also began to hate her.
At that time, Liu Yunshuang only knew how to work hard and earn work points.
Her daughter was bullied and her son was raised astray, and by the time she found out, it was too late.
Xu Zhiwei is also lucky and has the aura of a heroine.
When he was sixteen, he was found by his wealthy father in Beijing.
Taking her and Xu Lanchun back together was considered a great honor.
Xu Lanchun remained a virgin for him, and having been pampered for so many years, she looked younger than her peers.
The rich man actually got a marriage certificate with her, making her a real wealthy lady.
After Xu Zhiwei became a rich girl, she married the powerful male protagonist.
There is also a loyal and infatuated second male lead who is completely devoted to her.
In order to vent her anger, the male protagonist broke Liu Yunshuang's legs and arms, and the second male protagonist also gouged out her eyes.
The sons tried to get medicine for her but to no avail. On the night she died, the eldest son also jumped into the river.
Xu Zhiwei just cried and said that the male protagonist was too cruel, and the reputation of being kind fell on her.
After death, Liu Yunshuang's soul floated to Jing City.
Watching Xu Zhiwei become an envied noble lady, running her own company, and climbing to the top step by step.
Even the people in the Red Star Production Team would give her a thumbs up when they mentioned her.
It was also at this time that she realized that she and her three children were just cannon fodder mentioned in the writings of others.
The meaning of existence is to highlight Xu Zhiwei's perseverance.
She was unwilling to accept and give up, but when she opened her eyes, she was back again.
I also discovered Xu Zhiwei's secret. That "system" must be a powerful character.
I guess he knows a lot, and Xu Zhiwei also relies on it.
She didn't know what it was, but she couldn't take it lightly.
Since God has given her another chance, she must seize it.
"Hiss~"
Liu Yunshuang felt a little itchy inside her hand. As soon as she stretched out her hand, a stream of water gushed out.
She was a little surprised, she had seen this before.
During the time when she died and turned into a soul, I saw that there was such a person in Xu Zhiwei's house.
It is said that this water is the "spiritual spring" and is very magical.
It is not only good for beautifying the skin, but also good for strengthening the body and prolonging life.
Even the flowers and plants grown in the spiritual spring are different from others.
It is more delicate than ordinary ones and has a shorter growth cycle.
At that time, she found it interesting and listened to a few more sentences.
Unexpectedly, she would have such a great opportunity.
Before I could feel happy, the door was gently pushed open.
A skinny little girl came in with a bowl of porridge in her hand.
It was her eldest daughter, Xu Zhiqing.
"Mom, you must be hungry."
As the little girl spoke, she handed over the porridge as if offering a treasure.
This child is already ten years old, but he looks like a seven or eight year old.
There was not a pound of flesh on his body, and even his hair was waxy yellow.
Compared with Xu Zhiwei, it seems like she is the younger sister.
"Zhiqing, what's wrong with your face?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiqing couldn't help but shrink back.
However, the five finger marks were red and very obvious.
Moreover, it has become swollen.
"Mom, it's okay, just drink your porridge."
Having said this, he put the bowl on the edge of the kang and was about to leave.
Liu Yunshuang refused and grabbed her arm.
The little girl hissed and tears were about to come out.
She didn't use any force!
Feeling strange, he pulled his daughter's sleeve away.
All she saw were densely packed purple scars, which made her blood pressure soar.
"Who did this?"
"It's okay, Mom, don't be angry, it doesn't hurt at all."
Liu Yunshuang couldn't help but shed tears and held her daughter in her arms.
I can no longer control the grievance in my heart.
She cried loudly, as if she wanted to cry out all the resentment from her past and present lives.
The matter of her eldest daughter has always been a pain in her heart.
In the previous life, Old Lady Xu tortured this child.
In the middle of winter, she was asked to wash clothes in the river, but she fell into an ice hole.
The high fever wouldn't go away, and Xu's mother refused to give her a five-cent medicine. Xiaoqing was burned into a fool.
But even if she became a fool, she would still take back the things she thought were good and give them to her, just like what happened just now.
When I brought the porridge to her, his eyes and expression were exactly the same.
But she herself did not treat her children equally and doted on her son much more than her two daughters.
She deserves to die!
When Xu Zhiqing saw her crying, she started crying too.
It would be a lie to say that I don't feel wronged.
"Okay, Zhiqing, stop crying and tell mom the truth.
What is going on? "
Xu Zhiqing was a little timid. After all, she was only ten years old and had a natural dependence on her mother.
"Mom, you made grandma and my aunt angry. If they pinch me a few times, they won't be angry with you and Zhiyi anymore."
This child is so sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
It turned out that this was how her child suffered where she couldn't see.
"Zhiqing, let me tell you, it wasn't me who made your grandmother and aunt angry, it was them who wanted to steal my things.
We are just defending our own rights. Those two are the ones who are wrong.
They are the bad guys, don't worry, I will seek justice for you today, let's go~"
Xu Zhiqing didn't know what she wanted, but she always felt that Liu Yunshuang made her feel particularly at ease.
I followed her out as if possessed by some strange force, holding my mother's hand, feeling extremely warm.
The main house, the living room.
The whole Xu family was having lunch, the adults were sitting and the children were standing.
Of course, Xu Zhiwei was an exception. She sat upright next to Old Lady Xu and there was no sense of incongruity at all.
(End of this chapter) In the Xu family, she has always been special.
Not only because she was Xu Lanchun's daughter, but more because when she was three years old, a blind fortune teller passed by here.
It is said that she has a noble destiny and will definitely become a rich and powerful person in the future.
Mrs. Xu, who already felt that she owed her daughter, loved her granddaughter even more.
The preference for boys over girls is directed at the children from the other three rooms.
Seeing Liu Yunshuang coming, the sister-in-law sneered.
"Why, aren't you stubborn?
If you have the ability, don't eat our Xu family's food, huh~"
Despite her provocation, Xu Lanhe didn't even raise his eyelids.
This man is really rotten.
Liu Yunshuang didn't get angry but smiled instead, patted her eldest daughter's hand, and walked towards Xu Lanchun step by step.
The smug sister-in-law had no idea that danger was approaching and was eagerly waiting for her to come over and admit her mistake!
"Pah~"
Caught off guard, Liu Yunshuang slapped him in the face.
"Ah~"
"Oh my god, what is this for?"
Everyone was panicking. Anyone who dared to hit Xu Lanchun was going to offend Old Mrs. Xu!
"Liu Yunshuang, you bitch~"
Before her sister-in-law had finished scolding her, she slapped her in the face again.
The slap hit her on the other side of the face, and it was quite symmetrical.
"I won't live anymore~"
Xu Lanchun felt extremely humiliated and began to seek death.
How could Old Mrs. Xu stand this? Her second daughter-in-law had been challenging her authority, so she immediately quit.
"You, you unfilial man, if you can't tolerate your sister today, you won't tolerate an old woman like me tomorrow.
Today, I must show you what the law is.
The eldest daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, hold her down for me~"
Old Mrs. Xu is not stupid. She directly uses filial piety to pressure others.
But neither of the two men moved. Xu Lanchun was selfish and never went to work in the fields.
But she wanted the best food and clothing, and the other two sisters-in-law had already had opinions about it.
Sister-in-law Du Ruohong was even more thoughtful. She immediately went over and supported Old Mrs. Xu.
"Mom, please don't be angry. If you get angry and your body gets damaged, our family will collapse."
Listen, this is flattery~
"Humph, don't pretend, can't you see the slap mark on Zhiqing's face?
I am back now, all of them are minor, look at me, is this something a human would do?"
As he spoke, he pulled open his eldest daughter's sleeve, revealing the bruises from being pinched.
Du Ruohong also took a breath of cold air. She knew that the old lady often bullied the eldest girl from the second son's family, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
"Xu Lao Er, open your dog eyes and see this, this is what the mother and sister you support unconditionally did.
You bully my child and want my house. How shameless of you! "
"You, you are talking nonsense, this is not what I did~"
Xu Lanchun didn't have time to cry anymore and her eyes were evasive.
"Humph, there are only you three, mother and Zhiqing, at home.
If it's not you, then it's your mother or Xu Zhiwei?"
Xu Zhiwei, who was named, could no longer sit still.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Why would I pinch my elder sister?"
"Since it's not you, then it must be you?"
Liu Yunshuang pointed at Old Lady Xu without any fear.
The other party was humiliated by the junior and was naturally resentful and stiffened his neck.
"So what if I beat her, she doesn't work hard and wastes food.
What's wrong with me teaching you a lesson?"
Oh, she is right.
She was about to retort when she suddenly heard Xu Zhiwei's voice again.
"System, what's wrong with Liu Yunshuang? Didn't you not care about Xu Zhiqing at all before?"
"Host, she may not want to give up the house, she did it on purpose."
"So what should we do now? Should we ask her for it?"
"Yes, only if we move out can we live a good life in the future."
This was the second time Liu Yunshuang heard Xu Zhiwei talking to the "system", and she was still shocked.
It turned out that the ones who wanted the house were always the mother and daughter, and had no direct relationship with the couple in the third room.
In the previous life, within two years, the third brother and his wife went to the city.
The house naturally fell into the hands of Xu Lanchun and her daughter, and she didn't think too much about it.
"Mom, don't be angry, grandma and aunt didn't mean it.
I know you don't want to give your grandma's house to your third uncle and aunt, but your third aunt is pregnant and a little brother will be born soon, so there is no room for them at home.
Grandma is doing this for everyone's good, so stop making trouble!"
What a good trick to divert trouble. I really don't know why someone like Xu Zhiwei would be the heroine.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu, Xu Lanchun, and the third brother and his wife could no longer sit still.
"I thought it was something else. After all this fuss, it turns out you are still reluctant to part with those two shabby houses in your mother's house!
I tell you, you have to give it to me today whether you want to or not..."
Old Mrs. Xu stared at me with her triangular eyes and wrinkles all over her face, looking extremely difficult to get along with.
Liu Yunshuang sneered and looked around the group of people in the room.
There was greed on everyone's face. It was true that people of the same family would stick together.
"Humph, I won't. What can you do about it?"
Old Mrs. Xu is much calmer now. In her opinion, Liu Yunshuang is just being stubborn and pretending to be strong.
"Humph, if you don't want to, then get out of here and leave our Xu family."
It's true that someone will give you a pillow when you're sleepy. She thought that this matter would have to wait a few days before being put on the agenda.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu actually revealed her cards directly.
"Haha, your words don't count in this matter.
Ask Xu Laoer to come and tell me..."
In contrast to Liu Yunshuang's calmness, Old Lady Xu was complacent, thinking she had her under control.
"Second brother, you heard me, we can't afford this woman anymore.
Who knows, one day, my wife might be so angry that she will die, so let her go!"
The pressure was put on Xu Lanhe, and he had to accept it.
His wife was arguing with his mother, but he remained indifferent.
Sitting peacefully, holding her little daughter.
After being named, I became even more conflicted.
He pulled his hair as if everyone was forcing him.
"Yunshuang, you are a junior, so just bow your head and admit your mistakes.
She won't blame you, even if I beg you."
Haha, Liu Yunshuang rolled her eyes.
"I did nothing wrong, why should I admit my mistake?
Xu Lanhe, you are not a real man. I am so unlucky to have such a coward like you."
From the very beginning when she came back, this so-called husband advised her to give up the house without considering her feelings at all.
Thinking back on what happened in her past life, although Xu Lanhe was not the main culprit, she would not have been so miserable without his incompetence and inaction.
Especially when she found out that her sister-in-law had sold the gold bracelet, she wanted to get the remaining money back.
It was Xu Lanhe who tried his best to stop them, but in the end his little daughter starved to death.
This coward is also considered an accomplice.
(End of this chapter) After she said this, the other party felt even more aggrieved and sulked.
It seemed as if she was pushed into a dilemma. In the past, Liu Yunshuang would definitely be soft-hearted.
But now, she was disgusted by this kind of man who was both a hypocrite and a hypocrite.
He only knows how to spend other people's money and exploit his wife and children.
This kind of man should not be alive.
"Do you really want to make the whole house a mess?"
"I've made my family so restless? Don't forget who started it first.
Who is it that is thinking about something that does not belong to him and blames me? Are those two eyeballs of yours used to vent your anger? "
"Humph, you little whore, stop making indirect accusations here.
Second brother, kick her out.
Tomorrow, I will marry you an eighteen-year-old girl~"
Old Mrs. Xu seemed to have Liu Yunshuang in her grasp and looked at her triumphantly.
Liu Yunshuang was not in a hurry either. She thought it would be harder than climbing to the sky to expect that loser Xu Laoer to say something.
"Okay, in that case, I don't want to live with you anymore.
Xu Lanhe, let's get a divorce!"
This time, it was the Xu family's turn to be dumbfounded.
It was obvious that Old Lady Xu was trying to scare her, but who knew that Liu Yunshuang would actually say it out loud.
"Yunshuang, why are you so ignorant?"
"Oh, I was just too sensible before, so I let you guys bully me.
Stop saying those high-sounding words, Xu Lanhe, and come with me to the production team.
Ask the captain to write a document, and I will make room for you so that you can marry a young lady."
Liu Yunshuang's expression was calm, but her eyes were unusually serious.
Xu Lanhe panicked. He always felt that there was something different about his wife.
"No way, a family can say such foreign things.
The couple quarreled at the head of the bed and made up at the foot of the bed. Second brother and sister-in-law, you must not do anything foolish!"
Du Ruohong persuaded her and winked at her.
Lin Qingqing, the third brother's sister-in-law, also understood what was going on. If they really got divorced, their reputation would be ruined.
"Yes, sister-in-law, don't dare to say anything angry. We don't want that house anymore."
Hearing that she had turned against him, Xu Lanchun became anxious.
He looked at her with hatred, but didn't say anything else.
"Let's go, Xu Lanhe, I'm afraid you were all farting just now!"
Liu Yunshuang said this deliberately in order to anger Old Mrs. Xu.
Sure enough, the old woman immediately refused to do it.
"Leave her, leave her, second brother, you go~"
"Mother~"
Xu Lanhe was somewhat reluctant after all, but when he saw the look from Old Lady Xu, he immediately lowered his head.
"I'm telling you, you can get a divorce, but you can't take anything from our house with you.
And these three children are all the roots of my Xu family. Once they leave this family, they have nothing to do with you anymore."
"Shut up, old woman, I tell you, I must take these three children away.
Can you heal Zhiqing's injuries?
I'm barefoot now, so I'm not afraid of wearing shoes. Why don't you try it?"
Xu Lanchun's eyes rolled and he pulled Old Lady Xu from behind.
The other party immediately understood, and after whispering to each other, they became arrogant again.
"You can take the two girls away. Zhili is the male of our Xu family. Don't even think about it."
She did this just to drag it out.
Liu Yunshuang knew very well that this divorce could not wait.
I don't know what will happen next, looking at my son with a longing face.
She hardened her heart and gave in now so that they could be together better in the future.
He stretched out his hand and called his eldest son to his side.
I didn't even go out, just in front of their whole family.
"Good boy, you know how your mother treats you.
It's not that I don't want to take you away, it's this group of people who won't let you go.
If I stay, your sister and your sister will be tortured to death by these people."
When he saw Xu Zhiqing's scars just now, he looked at Old Lady Xu and Xu Lanchun with hatred.
This child has not been spoiled yet, and his heart is with her.
Liu Yunshuang suddenly squatted down and whispered in his ear in a very low voice.
"Don't worry, mother will definitely take you back."
Xu Zhili looked at her with tears in his eyes.
"Mom, I agree."
"Good boy~"
Liu Yunshuang held him in her arms, feeling uncomfortable.
But there was nothing she could do, as a flood was about to occur.
Everything needs to be planned early.
"System, what did Liu Yunshuang just say?"
"I didn't hear that…"
She looked up at Xu Zhiwei who looked calm. She didn't want to be discovered at this moment.
She couldn't help but hide behind Xu Lanchun. She was still the daughter of the second wife in name.
If I follow Liu Yunshuang out, I probably won't even have enough to eat in the future.
However, the other person ignored her, glanced at her and then looked away.
"Zhiqing, take Zhiyi with you, let's go to the production team together."
Just then, the bell for the afternoon work rang and everyone went to the team headquarters.
Old Mrs. Xu was afraid that Xu Lanhe would suffer a loss, so she took Xu Lanchun with her.
They didn't get a marriage certificate. In this era, many couples don't have one.
However, the document must be established to avoid trouble later.
The captain was stunned and gave a few token words of advice, but he still wrote the document.
In addition to ending the marital relationship, the ownership of children and property is also clearly marked.
There were three copies, and both people put their fingerprints on them.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at the freshly prepared document and said "Puh!"
But before he started to curse, the captain blocked him back.
There are many such old ladies in the production team. She is not the first and will not be the last.
Liu Yunshuang didn't want to pay attention to her. The most important thing now was to go back and pack up and leave Lao Xu's den.
Xu Lanhe followed silently behind, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Now, most of the team members have gone to work and there are not many people on the road.
Old Mrs. Xu was so angry when she saw Liu Yunshuang walking in front of her.
"Look at you, you loser. You can't even control your wife."
Xu Lanhe was also confused and looked at Xu's mother with a puzzled look.
"Mom, weren't you the one who separated Yunshuang and me?"
"You, you're really going to piss me off to death."
She looked very disappointed with her friend, and Xu Lanchun was also adding fuel to the fire.
However, Liu Yunshuang ignored it.
As soon as I got home, I closed the door.
The other members of the Xu family did not go to work in the afternoon either.
Especially the eldest and third families, I didn't expect that they actually got divorced.
At this time, it is a very embarrassing thing!
It's not just a shame for the parties involved, but their families are also ashamed.
When she returned to her own territory, the old lady naturally couldn't help it. She moved a chair over and kept cursing.
The three children are now in the house.
Liu Yunshuang asked Xu Zhiqing to pack her clothes, and she sat on the kang and pulled Xu Zhili over.
This child must be feeling very uncomfortable.
(End of this chapter) . There were three children in the family, and she took two away, leaving only him.
Xu Zhili is only seven years old, still a child.
At this age, children will involuntarily move closer to their mothers.
"Zhili, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
"Wow~"
Hearing Liu Yunshuang say this, he could no longer hold it in and burst into tears.
On weekdays, she pays much more attention to this son.
To put it bluntly, it is a bit biased towards boys.
After comforting him for a long time, he finally calmed down, his little shoulders twitching.
"Mom, you really won't abandon me?"
"No, you three are my lifeblood.
Once we're settled there, we'll come back to pick you up.
No matter what others say, don't believe it, especially your grandma and aunt.
You can see that they just want our family to have a bad life and your father doesn't support us.
From now on, you will be alone and can't trust anyone.
When it's time to eat, just go and eat. If anyone doesn't let you eat or hits you secretly, don't endure it, just run to the street.
Go to a crowded place and tell everyone that they beat you."
Xu Zhili nodded to indicate that he remembered it.
"Also, from now on, you have to go out every day and dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.
When the time comes, I will come to find you, or ask your sister to go over.
In short, don't stay at home during the day.
And you must not be alone with your second sister. You have to be on guard against her, understand?"
"Yeah, I got it!"
Liu Yunshuang was a little surprised by this reaction.
In his previous life, his son was Xu Zhiwei's number one bootlicker, and he was willing to do anything for her.
"Are you sure you understand?"
"Yes, I understand. Grandma said that my second sister will be rich and powerful in the future and become a superior person. She asked us to protect and love her.
I gave her all the delicious food I had, but grandma secretly cooked eggs for my second sister and younger sister-in-law.
He also asked me to take Zhiyi out to play. I saw it all."
Well, it turned out to be out of her sight.
This is how Old Lady Xu brainwashed Xu Zhili, and she didn't even notice it.
"Zhili, your grandmother and aunt are partial to each other because your second sister is your aunt's child.
She doesn't like us and doesn't want to give you and your sister food.
None of this matters. You must remember what your mother told you.
Don't get close to Xu Zhiwei, protect yourself, and wait for me to come back and pick you up, understand?"
"Hmm~"
The little guy nodded heavily, as if he had grown up suddenly.
If it had been the same as in the past, there would have definitely been a commotion.
After comforting her son, Liu Yunshuang began to pack up.
In fact, there was nothing much to pack, just two pieces of clothes with patches on top of each other.
Then there was a wooden box her mother gave her before she left.
The same thing happened to the two children, just clothes.
In addition, there are these two sets of luggage that I made when I got married.
After so many years and having been washed countless times, it is now very old.
She left one set for Xu Zhili and took the remaining set away.
Back then, their family background was not good and they didn't dare to be too high-profile.
Apart from these, there was no dowry at all.
Of course, the box was taken secretly.
On the surface, there were only two sets of luggage, which were more shabby than the dowries of all the brides at that time.
After packing everything up, there were only two bags left.
She carried one and let Xu Zhiqing carry the other.
She carried the luggage herself, Xu Zhiqing carried two small pillows, and Xu Zhiyi carried her own small pillow.
As soon as I went out, I saw the Xu family in the yard.
Old Mrs. Xu sat on the chair in the middle, looking sternly at him.
It was Xu Lanchun who jumped out first and pointed at the thing in her arms.
"Second sister-in-law, oh, no, Liu Yunshuang, don't blame me for not reminding you, you can only take your own things.
You cannot take away any of our Xu family's money."
Liu Yunshuang rolled her eyes and looked at her as if she were a fool.
"What did your Xu family give me? What's in our room?
Come to think of it, the clothes you're wearing are made of my material. Take them off!"
Xu Lanchun felt a little embarrassed, because she was indeed the one who snatched the material.
But even after hearing Liu Yunshuang say this, he still didn't accept it.
"Okay, stop jumping around and start calculating.
Over the years, the work points I earned from working can add up to a lot of food.
You have never worked in the fields, but you have the best food and drink. Shouldn't you share some of your food with me?"
When she heard about dividing the food, Old Mrs. Xu refused to do it.
"You're talking nonsense. What can you do with that little money you earn?"
"Mrs. Xu~"
Her voice was so loud that it interrupted me directly.
"Don't forget, I'm no longer the daughter-in-law of the Xu family.
If you mess with me again, I'm not sure what crazy things I'll do.
Also, Xu Lanhe, I left my son at home.
If he gets hurt in the slightest, I will kill everyone in your Xu family."
She spoke the second half of the sentence word by word.
His eyes were fixed on Old Lady Xu and Xu Lanchun, which was both intimidating and threatening.
"Let's go~"
Before she even left the house with her two daughters, Xu Zhiwei rushed over.
He grabbed the corner of her clothes, his eyes full of timidity.
"Mom, you took my elder sister and younger sister away, what about me?"
Yeah, I almost forgot about you, dog heroine.
Liu Yunshuang pulled out the corner of her clothes mercilessly, and looked at Xu Zhiwei, who was only ten years old, but in the end she did not say anything unpleasant.
"You also know that you are not my daughter.
It's better to follow your biological mother than to follow me.
Xu Zhiwei, when you were six years old, I asked you and Zhiqing to go to the foot of the mountain to pick wild vegetables.
It's not to abuse you, it's because everyone goes there and you have to learn a skill too.
You are ten years old now and have never done any work.
You may think this is a good thing, that you don't have to work hard because someone is supporting you.
I don't know what your mother told you, but you are a smart child and you can still distinguish right from wrong, good from evil."
When Xu Lanchun, who was standing next to him, heard this, he immediately jumped up in anger.
"Liu Yunshuang, do you have any shame?
He was kicked out of the house, and he still wanted to sow discord between me and Zhiwei."
Hearing this, she snorted coldly.
"Who is shameless?
You are a good person just because you are pregnant before marriage and lazy?
Xu Lanchun, don't think I don't know how Xu Zhiwei came here.
What methods did you use ten years ago?
If no one mentions it, you will assume that no one knows about it.
If it weren't for you, that person wouldn't have ended up like that.
Keep talking, I don't mind promoting what happened back then for you."
Xu Lanchun panicked. How did she know about this matter when it was so secretive?
"You slandered me..."
It's obvious that he doesn't have the confidence to speak anymore.
"Ten years ago, you were in Jiefang Hutong, Xintong County..."
"Liu Yunshuang~"
Before he could finish his words, Xu Lanchun started screaming.
(End of this chapter) "Huh, there's nothing I dare not say.
Since you are afraid, then stay away from me."
After Liu Yunshuang finished speaking, she left without looking back.
The most urgent thing is to settle down, and we can avenge the hatred later.
At present, I have to make plans for myself and my three children early.
The easternmost house of the Red Star Production Team was her parents' home.
This is also the place where she grew up. Now that she is back, she feels extremely sad.
Their ancestors were also wealthy.
It's a pity that we have encountered these terrible times.
From instability to being forced to make a living.
Parents also began to hide their shortcomings and avoid wealth in order to protect the family.
Liu Yunshuang is the eldest in the family, and she has two younger sisters, Yulu and Feixue. One is married and the other became a cultural and art soldier.
Seeing that she didn't move, Xu Zhiqing called out softly, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go in quickly~"
The Liu family's old house is the most ordinary farmhouse with three main rooms.
The east and west rooms can be used for living, and both have kangs.
The main room is equivalent to the living room, with a square table and four chairs, and nothing else.
There were already a lot of miscellaneous small things in the house, and after she got married, Old Mrs. Xu took them away under various names.
If she hadn't been watching, the table and chairs probably wouldn't have been able to stay.
How could she be so stupid that she couldn't see it at that time?
There is a stove on each side of the east and west rooms, both outside.
Next to the west room is a separate small house, which is shorter than the main house and is usually used as a kitchen.
The stove next to the east room is directly open to the sky.
It can be used for cooking in the summer, but in the winter it is only used to heat the kang.
She would come back to this house on normal days.
There are a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in the front and back yards.
Here, every household has an area of three mu of private land where they can grow vegetables.
They are usually in front of or behind the house, and their house is at the back.
When her father was still alive, he was afraid that people would come and steal vegetables, so he built a wall with stones and it became their backyard.
Although there are places to grow vegetables, most people don't use them to grow vegetables.
Instead, foods that can fill the stomach, such as corn, soybeans, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, are more common.
After the second sister got married, she started planting crops in the yard at home.
After collecting the food, they carried it to Lao Xu's house.
In the past two years, policies have become increasingly relaxed, and many people will not waste the space in their own yards.
They would also lay out a bed of onions, and even the broken pots and tiles at home would not be wasted.
Planting a pepper or garlic sprout is also a way to make the best use of your resources.
Of course, this is for those who know how to live.
Ordinary people would not be so scheming.
They put down their luggage and prepared to clean up the house.
I came back often, and it was just a little dusty, but it didn't affect anything.
"Zhiqing, Zhiyi, let's live in the west room.
Let's clean up that place first today and then we can move in.
We can clean up the rest tomorrow, okay?"
Xu Zhiqing was a little overwhelmed. Her mother always ordered her around whenever she spoke to her.
This time he actually discussed it with her and was so gentle, leaving her a little overwhelmed.
"Mom, I listen to you~"
Xu Zhiyi also came over and hugged her thighs: "Mom, Mom..."
Liu Yunshuang felt a tenderness in her heart. This feeling of regaining something she had lost made her extremely grateful.
He bent down and picked up his little daughter.
Zhiyi usually takes a nap, but there were too many things going on today, so the little guy just held on without making any noise.
She is already two years old, can walk well and speak some simple words.
He then took his eldest daughter in his arms and comforted her softly.
"Zhiqing, Zhiyi, it was Mom's fault for not considering your feelings before.
I'll leave you at home and let your grandma and aunt bully you.
Now that the three of us have come out, we will have a good life from now on and no longer have to look at anyone's face."
She seemed to be comforting the two children, but in fact, she was also talking to herself.
Xu Zhiqing was deeply touched and came out of her arms.
Looking at Liu Yunshuang seriously, he said word by word, "Mom, don't worry, I can cook, wash clothes, and I can also help my sister pick wild vegetables."
This child is really sensible.
She is already ten years old, which is a big kid at this age.
"Zhiqing, don't worry, although your father and I are separated.
But our family will only get better and better."
"Yes, I believe it~"
The eldest daughter's eyes were filled with longing and anxiety, and Liu Yunshuang sighed.
It's useless to say anything now. Just take it slow. She's back anyway.
"Come on, let's go clean up."
"good!"
Xu Zhiqing does everything at Old Xu's house and is very skillful.
Liu Yunshuang opened the window and asked her to sweep the kang and the floor.
I went to press water with my knowledge. There was a foreign well (a semi-mechanical well that pumps out water when it is pressed, using the piston principle. It was introduced from a foreign country, so it was called a "foreign well") under the window.
There is a water drain left in the house. After pouring it in, quickly press the handle.
When there is pressure, water will come out.
Before, she often came back to water the fields.
Xu Zhiyi felt a little sleepy, yawned, and sat obediently on the threshold of the main room.
Liu Yunshuang quickened her pace. There was not even a washbasin in the room. All the original things were at Old Xu's house.
She had no choice but to take out an old piece of clothing.
This is the jacket she wore when she was a girl. After wearing it for so many years, it is now full of patches.
After a long time, it became rotten.
If you pull it hard, it will break.
Xu Zhiqing came out just in time, and was also startled when she saw her action.
"Mom, why did you tear your clothes?"
"It doesn't matter. This dress can't be worn anyway. Use it as a rag."
She has been married to the Xu family for so many years, but she has never bought a new piece of clothing.
Even Zhiqing and Zhiyi were wearing clothes left over from Xu Zhiwei and the old lady's two daughters.
That is to say, Zhili, the boy, can wear one or two new clothes.
She asked Xu Zhiqing to come over and help her press the water, and she washed the torn cloth cleanly at the water outlet.
"Mom, wash one for me too, and we can wipe it together."
"Okay~"
Liu Yunshuang looked at her eldest daughter and smiled knowingly.
The two of them worked very quickly, and only the windowsill and the kang mat needed to be wiped.
It's summer now, it will dry in a short while.
He quickly spread the bed and let Xu Zhiyi sleep for a while.
The child is young and sleeps a lot.
Looking at the empty house, Liu Yunshuang sighed.
It turns out there are a lot of things in this room.
The things in her house are all real good stuff.
Even the most ordinary kang cabinet has exquisite carvings on it.
Including the washbasin rack and two camphorwood boxes, all of them were taken by Xu Lanchun.
She may not want other things, but she must take these things back.
There are also several large vats in the house, which will be used in daily life in the future, and we can't let those people get away with it.
As for the bowls and plates, forget it. Zhili is still there, so we can't completely break off relations for now.
However, this matter has to be mentioned so that they always know that the Xu family owes them.
This way, when you want to bully her son, you have to think twice. The house was cleaned and the ground was sprinkled with water.
The floor of this house is paved with blue bricks, so it's not as dusty as the land.
"Mom, you should take a break too. I'll go clean up the living room."
Xu Zhiqing said this and brought the pillow to her.
She actually turned a blind eye to such a good daughter in her previous life. She is really blinded by greed.
"No need, Zhiqing.
It's getting late, let's go get something to eat."
"Food?
But we don't have anything~"
The little girl sighed. She left Lao Xu's house without bringing any food with her.
"Who said there aren't any? There are lots of them in the yard~"
Liu Yunshuang blinked and smiled slyly.
"Mom, aren't those potatoes and sweet potatoes saved for winter?"
"It's for winter, but we have nothing now, so we can only eat those.
Okay, go find two thicker sticks."
Xu Zhiqing thought about it and still felt it was a pity, but did not refute it.
At this time of year, potatoes and sweet potatoes are not very big.
It can still continue to grow, and generally only a few farmers who are greedy will dig it out to taste it.
Liu Yunshuang didn't care. The three of them couldn't go hungry.
There were no tools, so I could only dig with a thick stick.
There was still a piece of firewood in the kitchen, which was left over from burning the kang in the spring.
I just happened to use it today, and I can also boil a pot of hot water.
The remaining charcoal fire is just right for roasting potatoes and sweet potatoes.
"Mom, how can we clean the pot without a broom?"
Uh, how could I forget about this.
When they came out, they didn't bring anything with them. Even if they boiled water, they didn't have cups to drink from.
The family is really penniless, Liu Yunshuang sighed.
"It's okay, let's not wash the pot, just pour some water and use it as a heating pad."
"Okay~"
Xu Zhiqing nodded and went to the well to wash potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Liu Yunshuang added water to the pot and put firewood in the stove.
Suddenly I felt like something was missing...
It's embarrassing. I can't start a fire without matches.
This is really...
"Zhiqing, stay home and look after your sister. Don't go out. I'm going to the back to borrow a light."
"Got it, Mom~"
Liu Yunshuang hurried out because her home was quite remote.
It is located at the easternmost end of the Red Star Production Team, with the main road to the west of the house.
Most of the villagers are on the west side of the avenue, and there are only two households on the east side of the avenue.
One is them, and the other is an elderly couple who live behind their house.
As soon as Liu Yunshuang arrived at the door, she saw the old lady picking beans in the yard.
"Third grandma, you're at home~"
"Yunshuang, come in quickly. Why are you here? Didn't you go to work today?"
The Third Master and the Third Wife have only one son, who went out to serve in the army in his early years and stayed in the city after his retirement.
The old couple usually had very little free time, and the third uncle would go to the production team to do some work and earn some food.
The third grandmother tended to the small vegetable garden at home and was responsible for three meals a day.
Life is comfortable and nourishing, and many old men and women envy us.
"No job, Third Aunt, we moved back home.
I don't have any matches at home, can I borrow one from you?"
Liu Yunshuang directly stated the purpose of her visit. She was worried because the two children were still at home.
"Moved back? Are you having a dispute with your mother-in-law?"
"Not really, Third Auntie, Xu Lanhe and I are divorced.
From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Xu family."
Hearing this, the third grandma was shocked and her mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit in it.
"Divorce? Kid, this is no joke. You can't just say that."
A former neighbor would care about her.
In comparison, the people in Lao Xu's family are really heartless.
"Third Aunt, you also know that Xu Lao Er can't stand up.
If we follow him, we will be bullied to death sooner or later, so it is better for us to come out."
"Alas~"
We are all from the same production team, so everyone knows each other.
She also knows everything about the Xu family's affairs.
Liu Yunshuang grew up under her care. If it weren't for her family's poor background, she would have thought of giving the child to her son.
"The Xu family really doesn't know how to cherish.
No more talking, I'll go get you some matches, wait for me!"
Soon, Third Grandma came over with a new box of matches, two eggs and two pounds of corn grits.
"Good boy, take it all back. When you come back from there, Old Lady Xu won't let you take anything."
To be honest, Liu Yunshuang was quite touched.
But she couldn't have it.
"Third Auntie, there is food at home. I'll just lend you a match. Take these back quickly."
The two of them refused for a while, but seeing Liu Yunshuang's firm attitude, the third wife didn't say anything.
After returning home, Xu Zhiqing had already washed the sweet potatoes and potatoes.
She quickly lit the fire. It would be bad if the kang was not heated for a long time as it would become damp.
Soon, the sweet potatoes and potatoes will be ready.
The little daughter also woke up, and the family of three started eating directly over the fire pit.
Shake off the dust from the sweet potatoes and potatoes, peel off the skin, and you will find the inside is fragrant and soft.
The two children ate with relish, drooling.
I can't drink hot water, I can only drink cold water.
Fortunately, they all have well water.
In summer, we also drink cold water directly.
Especially at noon, when it is very hot, it is so refreshing to have a gourd of water from the well to cool down.
But later, you still need to drink more boiled water.
After a simple tidying up, he asked the two children to get on the kang.
There is nothing much to do in the countryside, and going to bed at sunset is basically the norm.
There was no electricity yet, and there were no candles or kerosene lamps in the house.
After coaxing the two children to sleep, she took out her wooden box in the moonlight.
She hasn't opened this box for a long time.
Her mother said before she died that this thing should only be taken out when it was absolutely necessary.
Wrapped inside the white handkerchief was a pair of gold bracelets.
Their family had gone through many ups and downs, and in the end there wasn't much left.
In addition to this pair of bracelets, there is also a painting.
In her previous life, Xu Lanchun wanted to buy new clothes and stole her bracelet.
But she didn't know the value of the painting and thought it was useless, so she burned it.
Liu Yunshuang solemnly opened the blue brocade storage bag. The tassel rope on the seal was made by her herself.
With the help of moonlight, the image above is vague and not very clear.
Although she was extremely reluctant, she had no other choice.
This thing must be sold.
After making up her mind, she carefully put the two things away.
There are two exposed blue bricks at the end of the kang in the east room.
She quietly went over, pinched it with her fingernails, and pulled it out.
There is a small space inside. In the past, the room was where my parents lived, and there was a kang cabinet here.
You can't see the secret inside at all, and now the kang cabinet is gone.
The two green bricks were particularly noticeable, and Liu Yunshuang put the pair of gold bracelets in them.
I tiptoed to the window sill, got some mud, and pasted the two bricks together. The next morning, Liu Yunshuang got up before daybreak.
Xu Zhiqing heard the voice and rubbed his eyes.
"Mom, what are you doing up so early?"
Normally, her parents also have to go to work.
However, they would not get up until dawn.
"Zhiqing, Mom has to go out today.
When you get up later, help Zhiyi get dressed. There are two potatoes left from yesterday. You two can have a bite.
Close the door tightly. No one except Zhili can enter, especially people from Old Xu's family."
When Xu Zhiqing heard that she was going out, she quickly sat up and became conscious instantly.
"Mom, what are you going to do? I'm scared."
Liu Yunshuang had already put on her clothes and took out a bag, in which she put a headscarf and the painting.
"Zhiqing, be obedient, we have nothing at home.
Mom is going out to get some food. You are the older sister, so help mom take care of your younger sister.
If anyone asks, just say I went into the mountains early in the morning, okay?"
Live off the land, there is not enough food at home.
Many people go into the mountains to pick wild vegetables, fruits, etc.
They have just started being single, so no one can find fault with this reason.
"Yes, I understand~"
Although Xu Zhiqing was afraid, she didn't say anything.
Liu Yunshuang didn't let her get up. She closed the door and went along the main road to the county town.
The Red Star Production Team is twenty miles away from Xintong County.
If you are fast, you can get there in about two hours.
She didn't dare to be away from home for a whole day, and she had promised her son to go dig wild vegetables during the day, so she couldn't go back on her word.
When we arrived at the county town, it was just daybreak and no one was on the streets.
According to her memory, she went to a group of abandoned houses in the east, which was the black market in the county town.
I came here several times in my previous life.
It's really lively here, at least there are a lot of people.
Her approach wasn't too out of place.
To be on the safe side, she walked along the edge and squatted down in the middle.
After a few minutes, a young man came over.
"Sister, what's in your bag?"
"Exchange some money for the things left behind by my old age."
This person was here to spy on the matter. Although the black market is secretive, transactions are still conducted in private.
Among them, we need such people to help connect the dots and get some hard work fees later.
"What the hell is that? Let me help you take a look."
"A painting~"
Liu Yunshuang did not hide it. He said he would help to look at it. He knew someone in this field and knew the jargon.
"Painting, then you have to ask Mr. Qiao.
Big sister, are you free? Let's talk for a moment."
"Okay~"
Although this black market does business secretly, it has its own rules and regulations.
The reason why Liu Yunshuang dared to come here alone was because she was sure of this point. At least there would be no problem with safety.
She followed the young man through the twists and turns, keeping her eyes on the road around her.
Even if you have an idea in mind, you still need to be prepared for both situations.
Finally, it stopped in front of a dilapidated yard.
"Sister, please wait here for a moment."
Liu Yunshuang nodded and began to look around.
The man knocked on the door and waited at the bottom of the steps.
After a while, the door opened and a man about his age came out.
"I brought a fat cow here and want to see Mr. Qiao."
When she heard the word "fat cow", she felt extremely uncomfortable and held her bag tightly.
The two of them looked in her direction, and the man went in.
Liu Yunshuang began to struggle between her conscience and her desire to run or not.
Before I could think it through, that person came out.
"Big sister, come~"
It's over. This time I have no choice but to go ahead with it.
On second thought, isn't this my purpose? How can I make money if I don't sell this thing?
Taking a deep breath, she went for it.
This was a very small courtyard. There was a light on in the main room. The young man motioned her to go in.
Liu Yunshuang took a look and pushed open the door.
The room was bright. There was a square table on the kang, and a young man was sitting opposite it.
He looks to be in his twenties, with deep facial features and sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
Especially the skin, which is so white.
Liu Yunshuang was a little nervous and swallowed unconsciously.
"Please sit down~"
The other party looked at her and spoke directly.
"No, no need. Are you Mr. Qiao?"
The other person glanced up at her, stroking a pair of gourds in his hands.
"how?"
"Nothing. I thought he was old, but I didn't expect him to be so young."
The other party tilted his head and was not impressed by her words.
"Bring it here and let me see~"
The voice was cold. Liu Yunshuang was a little nervous, but she quickly opened the bag, took out the things inside and handed it over.
Seeing the blue brocade storage bag and the red tassels, "Mr. Qiao" put away his previous carelessness and reached out to take it.
Untie the bag and pour out the scroll.
He opened it carefully, and then a look of surprise flashed across his face.
Although it was only a few seconds, Liu Yunshuang saw it clearly and had a general idea of it.
"Where did this thing come from?"
"It's passed down from our ancestors."
Liu Yunshuang looked at him frankly, she had thought of these words in advance.
That "Mr. Qiao" stared at her for more than ten seconds and suddenly laughed.
"Wu Zichu's painting of spring flowers and autumn moon is quite good. How much do you want?"
Ask her how much money she wants, this is a sign of favor.
Liu Yunshuang was no longer in a hurry and sat down on the edge of the kang.
"How much do you give~"
The other party took a magnifying glass and began to look at it carefully.
"Give you one thousand~"
Oh my god, she almost screamed.
One thousand, my God, I knew this was valuable, but I didn't expect it to be so valuable.
Thinking of the business tips her father had told her before, Liu Yunshuang quickly calmed herself down.
"You can't find another painting like this in the three northeastern provinces. One thousand is too little."
The other party didn't even raise his head and continued to immerse himself in his own world.
"Three thousand…"
Oh my god, Liu Yunshuang's heart was beating "boom boom boom".
She must have heard it wrong, he actually gave her three thousand.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the man lost his patience.
"Not satisfied? Then how much do you want?"
To be honest, one thousand yuan was beyond her expectations.
This person is saying this now, which means there is still a possibility of raising the price.
She simply made up her mind and looked at the other person calmly: "Five thousand yuan~"
"Mr. Qiao" heard it and kept silent.
Damn, that's too much.
"or…"
"Deal~"
She was just thinking of giving it a lower price. Business is a back-and-forth process.
She said five thousand on purpose to leave room for bargaining.
Unexpectedly, he actually agreed.
"What do you want to say?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's like this, Mr. Qiao, you are a straightforward person.
I'm not just going back and forth, you have seen this painting.
Five thousand yuan, and I also need two hundred kilograms of food coupons."
(End of this chapter) "Don't push your luck~"
The young man who had been listening at the door came in and looked at Liu Yunshuang with a face full of resentment.
She had indeed gone a little too far just now.
"Xizi~"
Mr. Qiao waved his hand and the other party stopped talking, but looked at her with an unfriendly look.
"If you have any other requests, please tell me all at once."
"You're the one who told me to say this. In addition to money and food coupons, I also want oil coupons, cloth coupons, match money, kerosene coupons, industrial coupons, and non-staple food coupons. In short, it doesn't matter what kind. The more the better."
Qiao Yiqi sneered and tapped the table lightly.
"You have quite an appetite~"
This person is moody and Liu Yunshuang is not sure what he means.
"Mr. Qiao, please don't be surprised, I have nothing at home.
The money and food coupons are fixed, and the rest is up to you."
He had just promised five thousand dollars, and she was prepared for the rest to be cut off.
"Xizi, go do it~"
"Mr. Qiao~"
The young man probably didn't realize what was going on and was a little surprised by his decision.
He didn't say anything, just waved his hand. The man sighed and left.
Qiao Yiqi took the magnifying glass and continued to look at the painting.
Suddenly he saw what was below and felt confused.
"cloud?"
Seeing this, Liu Yunshuang hurried to explain.
"I wrote it accidentally when I was a kid and was having fun."
I originally wanted to write my own name, but my father found out later, so only this one word was left.
Seeing Qiao Yiqi staring at her, Liu Yunshuang hurriedly explained.
"This is on the base map and does not affect the painting.
"Besides, it's very small. If you don't like it, you can reframe it."
Just then, Xizi came in.
Holding five stacks of Great Unity in her hands, her eyes widened.
"Mr. Qiao~"
"Well, besides the money, there are two hundred kilograms of food coupons, and the rest are a few feet of cloth coupons."
Qiao Yiqi was not angry and shouted "Qingzi" towards the door.
Immediately, another young man came in, who looked about the same age as Xizi.
"Go, exchange all these food coupons for fine grains, and take some of the other coupons and give them to this elder sister."
"Hey~"
Qingzi glanced at Liu Yunshuang and went out directly.
Mr. Qiao pushed the five stacks of Great Unity over, still looking nonchalant.
"Dot dot~"
"Ah? No need, I believe you~"
In fact, there is no need to count them, as they are all sealed in stacks, very neatly arranged, just like what you take out from a bank in later generations.
Moreover, judging from the thickness, it doesn't seem to be too little.
"Then I'll put it away~"
Liu Yunshuang put the money inside her headscarf, wrapped it up, and stuffed it into her bag.
Qingzi came back soon with a lot of tickets in his hand, the top ones were food coupons.
"Mr. Qiao, please take a look."
Qiao Yiqi gave the other party a look and he handed it to her directly.
"Big sister, please take a look. Do you like it?"
Oh my god, she was a little uncomfortable with being so polite all of a sudden.
"Thank you, brother. I'll take my leave now."
Liu Yunshuang nodded to Mr. Qiao and then hurried out of the house.
I'm afraid he will suddenly change his mind, with so much money and tickets.
In this era, she and her children could live a very comfortable life for ten years.
…
Inside the room, Xizi was very angry.
"Mr. Qiao, why did you give her so many things?"
"When have you ever seen our Mr. Qiao doing business at a loss? Xizi, don't dwell on this."
Qiao Yiqi gently brushed over the word "cloud".
"What, Qingzi, you mean this painting is worth more?"
Xizi suddenly understood and smiled.
"Master Qiao, there is one thing I don't understand."
"You said~"
Hearing this, Qingzi also looked at the word "cloud".
"This painting would be ruined if one word was added."
"Not really~
Well, go out if you have nothing to do. I know what's going on."
Seeing that he didn't say much, Xizi and Qingzi also went out.
Qiao Yiqi's mind moved slightly and he touched the word "cloud".
Lan Qiaoyi begged for money and got his wife Yunying.
He and this elder sister were destined to be together, so he gave her a favor.
…
Liu Yunshuang took many turns and returned to the main street.
I had just secretly taken out thirty yuan and put it in my trouser pocket.
Now, it is bright day.
Looking at the sun, it was probably around eight or nine o'clock.
According to the memory of her previous life, Liu Yunshuang started to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town.
They are from Xintong County, which is still not very attractive.
There are low houses everywhere, and even two-story buildings are rare.
Moreover, there are not many factories.
Most people are relatively poor.
However, this situation will be improved after the 1980s.
This is the intersection of two provinces and three cities, and is a transportation fortress.
It will develop into a prefecture-level city in the future and attract many investment projects.
Xu Zhiwei's biological father is one of the big bosses.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have recognized her wealthy father in Beijing.
At the same time, wholesale and retail in all walks of life cover the three northeastern provinces.
Local people in the county, who are quick-witted, also started doing business.
He is an honest man. He has a house at home and makes a lot of money from renting it out.
In her previous life, she also came here to do odd jobs during the slack season.
Having seen the prosperity of Xintong, I still feel a little sad when comparing it to now.
We arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative and found that people had already started working.
Liu Yunshuang had quite a few tickets in her hands, but she hadn't sorted them out one by one.
While there was no one around, I quickly took out a few.
She will go back later, so she can't be too ostentatious.
Naturally I can't buy too many things today, so just buy them quickly and I'll talk about the rest later.
I took the industrial voucher and bought a sickle.
What they sell here are sickle heads, but not handles.
Moreover, it costs one dollar and twenty cents, which is really not cheap.
She also bought a hatchet and a kitchen knife.
She went to buy matches again. She now had four tickets in her hand, all from this quarter, so she bought them all.
There was still cooking to do at home, and there was nothing else to do, but she only had one bag and couldn't put anything in it.
This made her a little troubled. She had to go to the grain station to buy rice later, and she really didn't know which one to buy first.
After much thought, I decided to buy an aluminum spoon.
I bought a broom and didn't dare buy anything else.
I spent a total of four dollars and went to the grain station to buy five kilograms of rice.
75 cents per pound. This trip, including the previous things, the total cost was 7.75 yuan.
Liu Yunshuang didn't dare to delay and hurried home, carrying these things on her back.
I'm also afraid of being targeted by others, even though I have so much money.
Although the social atmosphere is better now, petty thefts will still be severely punished if caught.
But there are still crimes happening in places that can't be seen, so she can't take it lightly. No matter how hard I tried, when I got home, the production team had already finished work.
I didn't meet anyone on the way; everyone was eating at home.
Besides, the sun is very strong here at noon, so everyone will take a nap.
As soon as she came back, Xu Zhiqing hurried out of the main room, followed by Xu Zhili and Xu Zhiyi.
"Mom, are you back?"
As he said this, he was about to take her bag.
"No, I'll carry it, it's quite heavy.
Zhili, when did you come here? Did your grandma give you any trouble? "
As the mother and son were talking, they went to the main room.
"My grandma cursed in the yard for half the night yesterday, and her throat was sore.
Mom, my dad said you will be back in two days, is that true?"
It seems that Xu Lanhe thought she was just holding back her anger.
Yes, in this age where making a living depends on physical strength, women are dependent on men.
Although we are extremely reluctant to admit it, men and women are not equal.
Men are stronger and can do more work, even though they work the same amount of time.
Others can get ten work points, but women, no matter how well they work, can only get seven or eight work points.
However, this situation will improve later.
"Zhili, no matter what they say, just nod.
But you have to remember that we will never go back.
I will pick you up here, don't worry."
Xu Zhili nodded, and as soon as he got up early this morning, he went to the foot of the mountain to dig wild vegetables.
But he hadn't waited for Liu Yunshuang yet, and he was getting very anxious.
"They all said you didn't want me anymore, but I didn't believe it."
Hearing this, Liu Yunshuang quickly pulled her son over.
"Zhili, I didn't go there today because I was out.
You have to believe me, those people just want to make you feel bad, they are all bad people."
Under such special circumstances, we must do a good job of comforting the child and not put any psychological burden on him.
"Mom, drink some water first. The water from the well is too cold."
Seeing Xu Zhiqing bringing her cold water, she was a little surprised.
"Zhiqing, where did this bowl come from?"
"I borrowed it from the third grandmother's family in the backyard, and she also gave us three eggs."
As she said that, the little girl ran into the house and brought back three boiled eggs.
Obviously, she was hiding.
"Alas, Third Grandma is a good person. I must repay her well in the future."
"Yeah, I get it, Mom."
"I know that too~"
As if afraid of being left behind, Xu Zhili quickly echoed.
"Mom knows that you are all good children. Zhili, have lunch here at noon and don't go back."
"real?"
"Of course, let's cook sweet potato porridge."
Liu Yunshuang stood up, took out the broom, and asked Zhiqing to take the two children to boil the pot.
She went to the west room, took the bowl, and scooped out more than half a bowl of rice.
The rest is placed inside the quilt.
The eldest daughter cleaned the house very well, even wiping the main room and the east room.
She even went to check and found that the yellow mud she had applied in the morning had dried up.
There were no signs of being tampered with, and the pair of gold bracelets were also safe.
"Rice, Mom, did you buy rice?"
Xu Zhiqing had originally come out to fetch water, and when he saw her washing rice, his eyes lit up.
They could not eat fine grains once throughout the year, and even if they did, they had to be eaten by Xu Lanchun and Xu Zhiwei.
Being able to share a little bit (local dialect, meaning a little bit, very little) means that Grandma Xu is in a good mood.
"Yes, I bought a little bit. Go and boil some water. I'll dig two more sweet potatoes later."
"Okay~"
After all, he is a ten-year-old child and he is still very happy to see rice.
She went over to put the rice into the pot, then used yesterday's thick stick to dig out two small sweet potatoes.
Wash it clean, cut it into pieces with a kitchen knife, and throw it directly into the pot.
"Mom, we don't have much firewood at home.
After dinner, let's go pick some up."
"Okay~"
There is really nothing missing in the family now. Liu Yunshuang sighed. It is not easy to set up a family on your own.
When the firewood is burned out, the porridge will be ready.
We took three bowls from Third Grandma's house, and now there are four of us.
Liu Yunshuang gave a bowl to Xu Zhiqing and Xu Zhili respectively, and ate together with her little daughter.
There were no chopsticks at home, so Xu Zhili picked up a few branches to use as chopsticks.
"Here are the eggs. Take one for each of you three. Eat them quickly."
Then he gave each of them one. The youngest daughter didn't know how to peel the skin, so of course she did it for him.
"Mom, please eat. You've worked so hard. I don't want to eat."
Xu Zhili followed suit and handed over the egg in his hand.
"I don't want to eat either, Mom, you eat it."
"Mom won't eat, you guys are still growing, so eat and be obedient."
Xu Zhiqing still refused to eat, so she pretended to be angry, and then the girl started to eat in small bites.
Xu Zhili also looked very satisfied, as they only had a few eggs to eat throughout the year.
Every household can raise two chickens, and most of the eggs in the Xu family go into the stomachs of Xu Lanchun and Xu Zhiwei.
"Next year, we'll raise a few chickens, and then you can eat as much as you want."
All the children had starry eyes. In their eyes, Liu Yunshuang looked like a hero, shining brightly.
At this time, all the eggs in the house have to be exchanged for other things.
Only very favored children can eat it.
After lunch, Liu Yunshuang let the three children sleep on the kang for a while.
She carried a chair to the east room, put the money and bills away, wrapped them in a headscarf, and placed them on the beam.
These were the places where their parents hid things before, and only the three sisters knew about it.
The rice also had to be hidden, so after much thought, she decided to put it in the open-air stove outside the east room.
This is the place for making fire, which no one would have thought of.
He also reminded the three children not to let anyone know about the current situation at home.
Especially Xu Zhili, he still has to live in old Xu's family.
If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
"Zhiqing, Zhili, you two stay at home and look after your sister. I'm going to the mountain for a while."
"Wait a minute, Mom. I'll go with you and bring back some firewood.
There is nothing to burn at night."
"It doesn't matter. When Zhiyi wakes up, you can take her to Shuiquangou.
I'm going to get some willow branches over there, where I picked hazelnuts last year."
Xu Zhiqing nodded, she knew the place.
Nowadays, it is very normal for children to go up the mountain and it is not a big deal.
In addition, Shuiquangou is the second ditch entering the mountain, and the distance is not far.
The location of their house should be the closest to the entire production team.
Liu Yunshuang didn't hesitate any longer, took the hatchet and sickle and set off.
There is only one month left before the disaster.
She must prepare everything during this time. Chapter 11 Sister-in-law
comes to visit When Liu Yunshuang arrived, she started looking for her target.
Both the sickle and the hatchet need to be equipped with handles so that you can work properly later.
Soon, she locked onto a not very thick acorn tree.
This kind of tree is relatively straight, and people usually use it as a frame to grow cucumbers, beans, etc. at home.
Cut down the small tree and take out the parts you need.
It should be slightly larger than the hoop of the sickle. After removing the skin, shave off the front part a little.
It takes a lot of effort to insert it, so that it won't fall off easily after a long time.
It's stable and easy to use.
Under normal circumstances, the handle still needs to be polished and even oiled.
Make it feel very comfortable to the touch. Liu Yunshuang doesn't have that much time now, so she can only make do with it for now.
I'll continue working on it when I have some free time later.
I found another relatively thick tree to make a handle for the hatchet, which was a little more troublesome.
After a long time, all three children came.
"Mom, where did this hatchet come from? It's so beautiful."
Now, everyone works in the production team.
The farm tools we use are also public ones, as we rarely have these things ourselves.
Even doing some work occasionally is very strenuous.
"This was left by your grandma and grandpa, and they have never been used."
She didn't tell the truth. After all, it was a child. What if he was blown out?
There is nothing wrong now, but in a month, there will be heavy rain.
The dam near their production team suddenly burst, and the crops in several nearby camps (meaning villages) were washed away.
In autumn, it's almost the same, although it's not a complete loss.
By then, many people would not survive this winter because they had no food to eat.
In her previous life, Xu Lanchun stole her gold bracelet in advance and bought herself a new dress.
There was no food left, so at Xu Zhiwei's instruction, they exchanged a lot of food.
At that time, the mother and daughter had already moved into the Liu family's house.
Liu Yunshuang found out and wanted to ask for an explanation, but Xu Lanhe refused to let her.
This also directly led to Xu Zhiyi's death from starvation.
So, she hated Xu Zhiwei.
She owed her little daughter a life, but even so, she didn't do anything, she just disliked her.
Who would have thought that she would hold a grudge against me.
Even if she could do it all over again, she would not regret it.
It is simply a pipe dream to expect the murderer who hurt her own daughter to be kind and cheerful.
"Zhiqing, Zhili, the two of you stay here and collect firewood. Don't run around."
As he said that, he picked up Xu Zhiyi.
The mountain is full of potholes, rocks and tree roots.
It would be safer for the younger daughter to follow him, so he asked her to stand beside him.
Liu Yunshuang began to cut willow branches. There were two large mounds here.
The new sickle was very fast, and she was used to doing farm work, so she was quite adept at it.
Soon, they cut two large arms and after tying them up, the two children also picked up a lot of firewood.
They are all dead branches, very dry, and can be burned when we get home.
Liu Yunshuang pulled out two long willow branches and went over to tie the firewood into bundles.
"Mom, we can't go back this time?"
Well, I really can't go back.
"It's okay, you two can each drag a bundle of firewood.
I'll come back later~"
As he said this, he hid one of the bundles of willow branches in the woods.
He carried the rest by himself, and still had his free hand to hold his little daughter's.
It's good to be young!
After running back and forth twice, I finally got all the willow branches back.
The sun has gone down a bit, it's probably around three or four o'clock now.
It was still quite hot, so she put them all in the shade.
Xu Zhiqing pressed water for her, and after she simply washed her hands, she started her work.
That's right, Liu Yunshuang was going to weave a backpack and a basket.
If you rely on luggage to buy things, there is very little you can put down.
It's at least twenty miles to the county town, so it's quite a hassle.
When she was a child, she learned weaving skills from her father, and all the big and small things in the house were made by them themselves.
At the beginning, I felt a little unfamiliar, but after laying a solid foundation, I slowly got the hang of it.
She used double-layered wicker, so even when it dried later, there wouldn't be any gaps.
Dense and strong.
In the evening, we had sweet potato porridge again, which was made by Xu Zhiqing, as she was too busy to spare the time.
The two younger ones were playing near her, and from time to time they would pass her a willow stick and beat her well.
Even Xu Zhili, who has always been willful and unruly, was very obedient.
Perhaps, that was just a stereotype from her previous life.
Her son hasn't been raised astray yet, so she can't generalize.
"Hey, what is this for~"
The wooden door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and Du Ruohong and Lin Qingqing came in.
Liu Yunshuang glanced at him but didn't stand up. The weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken definitely had no good intentions.
"What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"
"Look what you said, we are not here to see you.
Don't argue with the second brother and the old lady. We are all sisters-in-law, so just bear with it and it will pass."
Du Ruohong came over and squatted beside her.
The house had three steps, and Liu Yunshuang was sitting on one of them, appearing a little taller than her.
Naturally, it is more imposing.
"Sister-in-law, it's useless to say that. Xu Lanhe and I have already divorced.
Just live your own lives from now on. I welcome you to visit me if you have time.
But if we talk about the Xu family, then it's not worth it."
The two choked and looked at each other.
Du Ruohong immediately put on a smiling face and looked intimate.
"Look at you, you're still angry.
The old lady has that kind of temper. You can just let it go without saying anything. Why bother? "
hehe!
"Sister-in-law, what you said is that the one who was beaten is Zhiqing, not your Zhinian and Zhixin.
If those wounds were on them, would you still be able to stand and talk without any pain in your waist?"
Liu Yunshuang didn't give her any good face at all. Du Ruohong is the kind of person who is very clever.
I know that helping the old lady at home will never end well.
She would not let her two daughters stay at home, and made them go to the fields even if it meant earning a work point.
She has a good reputation and doesn't have to suffer any hardship. All the good things come to her.
As for why the old lady wants to cook at home.
In fact, it was to control the food in the family. She had the final say on what to eat and how much to eat every day.
Logically, Xu Lanchun is there to help at home.
Three meals a day is a simple thing.
But they insisted on keeping Xu Zhiqing and Xu Zhiwei to help, and in fact most of the work was done by her eldest daughter.
"Yunshuang, please don't take it out on me, I came here to see you with good intentions.
I just had a meal and worked all day without taking a break."
"Really? Sorry for causing you so much trouble. Go back and have a rest!"
She won't buy it. If they want to use moral blackmail, why don't they consider whether these people are worthy of talking about morality?
(End of this chapter) Du Ruohong punched the cotton and was very embarrassed.
He stood up somewhat angrily. Seeing this, Lin Qingqing beside him quickly spoke up.
"Second sister-in-law, don't be angry, this couple also has a grudge that lasts overnight!
Second brother is a very honest person, but he is a little soft-hearted. Don't bother with him."
These three brothers and sisters were originally educated youth who went to the countryside.
In the early years, he followed Xu Lanhai, the third son of the Xu family, who was also a high school student and acted very self-important all the time.
He is the kind of person who is not good at anything and is never satisfied with anything he eats. A grown man, he can only earn a few work points throughout the year.
Last year, the college entrance examination was resumed and both of us took it, but neither of us passed.
Lin Qingqing didn't know what was going on with her mother's family and never returned to the city.
"If you don't mind, you can live in my house."
She sneered, pretending to be someone she is not. Who is she pretending for?
"Oh, you misunderstood.
My younger sister came to me and said that the house was too crowded.
When I give birth, there will be even less room for me to live here, so I wanted to ask you about this house.
I didn't even think about it."
My goodness, on weekdays, he and Xu Lanchun are as close as if they were one person.
Now it seems that the relationship is not so unbreakable.
"But, after all, you said what you wanted, didn't you~"
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Lin Qingqing became a little anxious.
The image she had been maintaining was about to be shattered, which was naturally unacceptable.
"Okay, thank you for coming to see me, it's getting late, let's go back quickly.
Especially you, if you are pregnant, don't go out."
If you get hurt, it's not worth it to blame her.
"Yunshuang, Qingqing and I came to see you sincerely.
Since you are still angry, we will go back first and come to see you in a few days."
Look, this is Du Ruohong, what beautiful words she said!
"By the way, please tell me when you go back.
I'm divorced from Xu Laoer. Please pack up my things and send them back to me.
There is no more affection now. Taking someone else's property is not what a human being should do."
Liu Yunshuang said this with a smile, and both of them were stunned.
It seems that she is serious.
Moreover, she has changed since yesterday.
His words were harsh and unreasonable, which was completely different from his previous behavior.
Liu Yunshuang didn't care what her two sisters-in-law thought. She just needed to finish the edge of her backpack, so she had to hurry.
After seeing the two of them leave, Xu Zhiqing came over holding Zhiyi.
"Mom, Auntie and Third Aunt are gone, let's eat quickly."
It was getting dark.
"Okay~"
This girl must have been afraid of being discovered by those two, so she didn't dare to mention it.
There is nothing wrong in protecting your food.
Liu Yunshuang stood up and stretched.
The two older ones had already come out of the kitchen, carrying bowls.
The sweet potato porridge is sweet, just like before.
She and Xu Zhiyi ate one bowl, and he could also feed her.
The three children were very happy, especially Xu Zhili, who told her that there were wild rabbits in the mountains.
The family was having a great time, with laughter emanating from them from time to time.
However, this tranquility was broken by Xu Laoer who suddenly came over.
Now, it's getting dark.
When Du Ruohong and Lin Qingqing left, they did not close the gate (yard door) for them.
Xu Lanhe also came in directly without any sense of boundaries.
When I saw the sweet potato porridge on their table, I felt a little unhappy.
"Yunshuang, how could you do this?
I don't go to work for a day, but I still eat fine grains.
"What kind of family are we? Can we withstand what you do?"
Originally, the mother and her two children were very unhappy with this uninvited guest, and now they were lecturing him.
"Xu Lanhe, if you are sick, go see a doctor and stop yelling in my house."
"You~"
He was so angry that it seemed as if he had a thousand words stuck in his chest.
Liu Yunshuang was speechless, looking so angry again.
"What's wrong with me?"
He held it in for a long time, and finally sighed and softened his attitude.
"Yunshuang, I know you feel uncomfortable, but there is nothing I can do.
Even if you are angry, you can't not go to work, that's the food supply for the whole family!"
She was a little surprised how this man could say such words.
"Xu Lao Er, are you still thinking of using my work points to support your family?"
Even though his thoughts were touched upon, Xu Lanhe didn't think it was a big deal.
It seems like this is just as it should be.
"It's not always been this way for all these years.
Besides, the things that everyone got from their work points were put together, and you ate them too!"
It turns out that he felt that she was taking advantage of him.
Liu Yunshuang sneered. His son was still in his hands, so he would not bother with him.
"Okay, don't forget, we're divorced.
From now on, we will go our separate ways. We would rather die of hunger than visit your Xu family.
Even if you become successful, you don't have to step foot in my house.
So, stop telling me what to do, you have no right to do that."
After saying that, he started feeding Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Zhiqing and Xu Zhili didn't dare to move, which made Liu Yunshuang feel distressed.
Sure enough, children who grow up in a bad family atmosphere will have psychological trauma.
"Look at you, you're still eating sweet potato porridge.
Where did the rice come from? Aren't the sweet potatoes meant for autumn?
You did this on purpose, aren't you afraid of being hungry in the winter?"
Liu Yunshuang was completely furious. This bastard was really a piece of shit.
"Zhiqing, take your brothers and sisters to the west room for dinner."
Xu Zhiqing took a look and quickly hugged Xu Zhiyi.
After the child left, she looked up at Xu Lanhe.
"We've been gone for a day, and you didn't even ask if we had a place to sleep or something to eat.
He immediately accused me of not going to work. Is this what a father and a husband should do?
We are eating without stealing or robbing, and you are so impatient and trying to act like a man?
Xu Lanhe, Xu Lanhe, I really look down on you, you bully.
Your mother scolded you, and you didn't even dare to fart. Why are you acting like a big shot in front of me?
Get out of here right now. For the sake of the child, I won't argue with you today. In the future, don't show up in front of me anymore."
Hearing this, Xu Lanhe was also stunned.
After a long sigh, he squatted down again, grabbed his hair and looked painful.
"Yunshuang, I can't help it.
If you keep making trouble like this, your mother will definitely not let you go back, so what can you do if you give in?"
Oh my god, it seems like he doesn't take the divorce seriously at all!
"Let me surrender and go on dreaming about your life.
Let me tell you, Xu Laoer, I am divorcing you. It's divorce.
You, the Xu family, will have nothing to do with me from now on.
No one should even think about our family's stuff, they are just a bunch of useless things that will end our family lineage."
In rural areas, the curse of "no more descendants" is almost the same as digging up your ancestral graves.
(End of this chapter) Liu Yunshuang's behavior was extremely excessive, which showed how angry she was.
"You, do you really have to do this?
Make everyone uneasy? "
Liu Yunshuang rolled her eyes and looked at him as if he were a fool: "Please keep your eyes open when you walk next time, and don't enter my yard.
I think it's unlucky, so get out of here right away."
Xu Lanhe looked at her with helplessness on his face.
"Yunshuang, there's no need for you to be so hostile to me.
I know you are angry. Let's talk about it after a few days when you have calmed down.
It's getting late now, let Zhili go back with me."
Seeing that his attitude had softened, Liu Yunshuang didn't want to dwell on it any more.
She has a lot of things to do, so there is no need to waste time with this kind of person.
"If you want to take him back, you should also ask your son's opinion."
Liu Yunshuang would not stop it because Xu Zhili had not been snatched back yet.
However, there is no such thing as forcible taking away.
I called the child over, and he was a little reluctant, but he still nodded.
My son has grown up and is no longer the reckless and spoiled boy he was in his previous life.
"Let's go, Yunshuang. I'll come back to see you in two days."
She ignored Xu Laoer and moved closer to Xu Zhili.
"Come over tomorrow at noon. I have to go out in the morning."
"Hmm~"
He nodded, obviously appreciating the advice.
At least, he would know where his mother had gone and wouldn't be so anxious.
After the father and son left, Liu Yunshuang closed the door directly.
The door of their house is made of wood and there are two places where it is loose and needs to be repaired later.
The house also needs to collect more firewood and other things, and these things need to be done quickly.
Xu Zhiqing went to clean up the dishes silently. When Xu Lanhe came over just now, he didn't ask her and her sister a single question.
It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed.
Liu Yunshuang was busy putting the final touches on the backpack and didn't notice her eldest daughter's emotions.
He took the previous dress, tore off the two sleeves, and twisted it into a rope.
Then just fix it on the backpack. When she came out, she didn't bring any needle and thread.
There is no other way, we can only make it longer, connect the ends together, and tie them together.
It is quite sturdy, but if you carry something too heavy, the willow branches will be pulled out a little.
After finishing all this, it was already late.
This is the good thing about the countryside: as long as it is a sunny day, the moon will be very bright at night.
He washed up quickly in the well and went to bed.
Put the quilt over the two children's stomachs. It was still quite hot at night, but their stomachs had to be covered, otherwise they would easily catch cold.
There was only this one quilt, so Liu Yunshuang lay directly on the kang mat with a piece of clothing draped over her body.
The next morning, she got up at dawn.
Take down those tickets from yesterday, some of each style.
I'm going to buy a lot of things today, I'll take as much as I can.
After saying a few words to Xu Zhiqing but still not letting her get up, Liu Yunshuang hurried off again.
This time, I went to the grain station first and bought 50 kilograms of rice.
I spent thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents in one go. I feel so sad!
I hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a shovel and a hoe, but still only the front one. I had to go back and get the back lever myself.
This is perfect, it's also convenient for her to take it.
I bought five plates and five bowls each, which was very cheap.
A plate was five cents, a bowl was three cents, and they were all big and deep.
I also bought a bar of soap and three twisted dough sticks.
There were still a lot of things, but she really couldn't take them all.
This backpack is not small, but the fifty kilograms of rice also takes up a lot of space.
It's not easy to go back and carry things with you.
You have to do it early, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
As soon as she left the county town, she met a few people, who were none other than Mr. Qiao and his two followers whom she had met a few days ago.
The three people on bicycles obviously saw her, but they didn't say hello.
The rule in the black market is that once the money and goods are exchanged, you are strangers when you next meet.
She didn't think much about it and hurried home.
These things are really heavy and we took two breaks in between.
When they were halfway there, a carriage came up from behind.
"Comrade, which production team are you from?"
"Red Star Production Team, where are you from?"
She asked back, and a young man in the car jumped out.
"We are from the Liuyagou Production Team. Come on up and we'll give you a ride."
"That's a good feeling~"
On the way back to Liuyagou Production Team, I had to pass by Hongxing Production Team, which was just on the way.
This kind of hitchhiking is quite normal nowadays, and the old man driving the car is quite talkative.
After talking to her for a few words, seeing that Liu Yunshuang was not very interested, he started chatting with the young man.
Nowadays, marrying far away is less common.
Basically, everyone in the upper and lower camps can become relatives by chatting with them.
The Liu family originally had a small population and settled there later, so they are not included in this category.
When they arrived, she quickly thanked them and invited them into the house for a drink of water.
Of course people wouldn't go there, they were just being polite.
When we got home, the two children came out to greet us.
It's already noon and the weather is extremely hot.
"Mom, come into the house and cool down for a while. I'll cool you down."
"Okay~"
Liu Yunshuang was fine, as she rode in a carriage for the second half of the journey and was not very tired.
"Didn't Zhili come today?"
"I'm here, just left~"
Xu Zhiqing said this and handed over a bowl of cold water.
Liu Yunshuang took it and found it very cool and thirst-quenching.
"Zhiqing, Zhiyi, look, what did mom buy?"
"Mahua, Mom, why did you buy this?"
Compared to being happy, Xu Zhiqing was more surprised.
"Here's something to eat for you three siblings, come quickly~"
"I don't want it. Give this to Zhiyi and Zhili."
The eldest daughter's eyes moved slightly, her eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow.
"What's wrong, Zhiqing, why don't you eat?"
Liu Yunshuang asked her patiently.
"Mom, my aunt bought big marijuana before, but it was very expensive.
We don't have any money at home, so we can't spend it carelessly."
So that's how it is. This child's cautious look made her feel distressed.
"Don't worry, my dear daughter. Your grandmother left some money for us, and I hid it all.
Now that we have left Lao Xu's house, everything costs money. I will be more frugal in the future.
Let's just buy it this time, and when we divide the money at the end of the year, we can buy it again, okay?"
Xu Zhiqing is ten years old and understands a lot of things.
If I don't explain to her the source of the money, she will feel uneasy, especially since he has been taking things home recently.
"The money grandma left for us?"
"Yes, not much, I bought all the food.
You have to keep it a secret for mom, don't let them know."
Thinking of her aunt's ferocity and her desire to snatch all the good things in the house, she became scared and nodded repeatedly.
"Come, eat~"
The little girl then took it somewhat embarrassedly, broke it in half and handed it to her.
(End of this chapter) Liu Yunshuang looked at her in surprise: "You and your sister eat it, Mom doesn't like it."
"No, since you said so, it's just us who will pass.
If you don't eat, I won't eat either."
Looking at the stubbornness in the little girl's eyes, Liu Yunshuang felt relieved.
I rubbed her head and almost cried~
"Good girl, mom will eat~"
The mother and her two daughters only ate one fried dough twist, and she only took a bite.
She was also happy to see her two daughters eating happily.
"Zhiqing, do you feel bad about leaving the Xu family?"
Hearing Liu Yunshuang's words, Xu Zhiqing quickly shook his head.
"I'm not sad, I'm happy.
I don't like grandma and my aunt, I'm happy to be out with mom."
"Why? We have nothing in this house."
To be honest, she also wanted to hear her daughter's thoughts.
Xu Zhiqing bit her lip and struggled internally for a long time before she spoke.
"Although we have nothing at home, Zhiyi and I are willing.
Mom, you don't beat or scold us, and you even buy us fried dough twists to eat.
I thought that when you left, you would take Zhili with you and not me and Zhiyi."
In fact, she didn't want her.
After all, Xu Zhiyi is still young, and she will usually coax him.
Liu Yunshuang felt mixed emotions. This child was so sensitive, but she had never noticed it.
Damn it!
He reached out and stroked her little face, gently wiping away her tears.
"My dear daughter, how could mom not want you and your sister?
And your brother, you are all flesh that fell from my body.
I love each and every one of you, you are all my good children."
"Mom~"
She had never expressed her feelings like this before. Xu Zhiqing could no longer control herself and threw herself into her arms, crying loudly.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiyi was confused and started crying too.
Liu Yunshuang was busy holding the older one and comforting the younger one, having a lot of fun.
Finally, the two sisters stopped and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhiqing, you are already ten years old, and you can understand some things.
Mom tells you, we will no longer have anything to do with your dad, your grandma, and your aunt.
Our lives will get better and better, and we will have everything in the future."
Xu Zhiqing nodded and answered solemnly.
"Mom, I believe you."
She didn't know why, but she felt that her mother had become different since the day before yesterday.
But she likes this kind of mother.
He would speak to her gently and hug her.
"Okay, take your sister to wash her face, I'll go cook."
By the way, she also took out the things she bought, mainly the bowls, plates and dishes.
Lunch was still white rice porridge. There was nothing else at home. She didn't even buy salt.
However, this is something they don't usually get to eat, and the two children are quite happy to eat it.
After dinner, let the two sisters go to bed.
It was getting late and the bell for the production team to start work had already rung.
Liu Yunshuang packed up and hurried out.
Take the hatchet and go to the mountain quickly.
You need to find a suitable handle for the shovel and hoe, which should be long and straight.
In addition, she cut some willow branches.
The ones from yesterday haven't been used up yet and are still sitting under the window.
She went and came back quickly, and by the evening, she had finally finished finishing the two tools.
Before it got dark, he took three bowls and a new match and went to Third Grandma's house.
"Yunshuang, come in quickly~"
The third wife was very enthusiastic and greeted her immediately.
"Third Master~"
Liu Yunshuang greeted the two old people politely. It was now their rest time and they were all at home.
"Hurry up and sit down. I said I would come to see you today, but now I haven't come to you to pull the eggplant vines."
"Third Auntie, don't look, we are all fine.
Here are the bowl and matches from before, I'm returning them."
"Okay~"
Seeing that the matches were brand new, Sannai was also very happy, thinking that this kid was capable.
"By the way, Third Aunt, it's not even autumn yet, why are we pulling up the eggplant vines?"
"Eggplants don't grow well this year. They just take up a lot of space. It's better to plant some autumn cabbage."
Sannai expressed her thoughts, saying that if we don't consider the flood, this would be a good idea.
"By the way, Third Aunt, do you have any rapeseed at home? Can you give me some?"
When she heard that she wanted to grow vegetables, the third grandmother quickly agreed.
"Yes, of course not. I'll get it for you."
"No need for anything else, just pick a few leafy vegetables."
Nowadays, when people in rural areas eat vegetables, they save the seeds in the first year and plant them in the second year.
Basically, every household has some.
It is common to share some of the benefits with each other.
Especially at the third grandmother's house, many people come every year to share the seeds.
"Look, this is spinach, this is lettuce, and this is Chinese cabbage. Take some of each."
Liu Yunshuang was overjoyed. The lettuce and spinach seeds were okay, but the cabbage seeds were precious.
Because it is not produced in one year, everyone finds it troublesome, but cabbage cannot be avoided.
Therefore, most cabbage seeds are not many left.
"Thank you so much, Third Auntie. When I grow the vegetables, I'll bring them for you and Third Master to taste."
Everyone in Liangjiangkou is smiling. It doesn't matter whether they eat or not. This attitude makes people feel comfortable.
"Yunshuang, you grew up under my watch.
As long as you guys are fine and don't cause any fuss, that's all.
Your parents are both kind, but it's a pity that you were born in the wrong era, alas~"
The Third Master tapped his pipe, looking unhappy.
"Okay, what are you saying that for?
Yunshuang, when I see Xu Laoer later, let me talk about him too.
If you need anything at home, just come here."
"Yes, come over if you need anything."
"No need, Third Master and Third Madam, forget it, Xu Laoer and I, you guys don't have to look for him, it's not worth it."
The three of them spoke a few more words and then she left.
It was already dark, and with two children at home, they were bound to be scared.
Plus, she was busy.
Hearing the noise, Xu Zhiqing hurried over to open the door for her.
Liu Yunshuang had instructed that the door should be locked when she was not at home.
"Zhiqing, have you put away those willow branches?"
"Well, put it in the living room~
Mom, what are you holding?"
"Your Third Grandma gave us the rapeseed, so we can grow some vegetables to eat later.
You guys are growing up, you can't not eat vegetables."
"Then I'll help you plant them."
The little girl was very happy, as if she had experienced motherly love for the first time.
That kind of genuine care came from her beloved mother.
"Okay, Zhiyi, go to sleep."
"Um!"
In order not to spoil her daughter's fun, Liu Yunshuang directly pulled her to the east room to dig the ground.
Although she didn't know what to do, she was still quite happy.
That sense of participation is indescribable.
They dug very deep and took out all the money and bracelets.
Put it in the original wooden box and then put it in the bottom.
The blue bricks above are all movable.
Because it's in the corner, it's not obvious. There was originally a pit here, where things were hidden in the past, but later the hole was stolen by rats.
Those things were destroyed, so her parents sealed off the place.
There was nothing else in the house and it was difficult to hide, so after thinking it over, she decided to use this.
When it's almost done, dig it out and find a new place.
That's not all, he went to hide the rice.
There is a cellar in the kitchen, and it is now placed there.
I will slowly think of a solution later. There are too many things to do at home and I can't try to do everything at once.
The next morning, Liu Yunshuang got up early to make breakfast.
Last night, her son didn't come over and she was worried, so she planned to go over to check on him after dinner.
Xu Zhiqing was afraid that she would be bullied by Old Lady Xu, so she insisted on going with her.
Who knew that as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a circle of people gathered there.
There was chaos in there, I didn't know what was going on.
"You shameless little bastard, you only know how to steal.
Just like your mean mother, I will beat you to death."
It was Old Lady Xu, and there was crying sound. It sounded like Zhinian, the eldest daughter of Old Lady Xu and Du Ruohong.
Seeing her coming, the woman next to her quickly pulled her over.
"Yunshuang, hurry over and try to persuade her. This old lady is so cruel!"
In the end, she didn't go forward. Had the news of her divorce from Xu Laoer not spread yet?
"What's going on?"
"It seems that Chinen cooked an egg for Chirei, and the old lady refused to do it."
Know etiquette?
Liu Yunshuang widened her eyes. What does this have to do with her son?
The other party didn't take it seriously and began to express regret.
"The old lady is such a jerk. She beat her grandson yesterday and her granddaughter today. There is no peace in this family."
"What?"
Her voice suddenly became shrill. Old Mrs. Xu had only two grandsons. The eldest grandson, Xu Zhicheng, had been a soldier and had not returned for two years.
What remains is her courtesy.
"It gave me a fright."
Before anyone could complain, Liu Yunshuang pushed through the crowd and went in.
Xu Zhiqing led Zhiyi and obviously heard the conversation just now.
In the yard, Du Ruohong was pulling beside the old lady, and the soles of the old lady's shoes fell on her from time to time.
"Yunshuang, Yunshuang, please save Zhinian as soon as possible. He is doing this for Zhili!"
By now, she finally understood.
Du Ruohong hugged her daughter with tears on her face. She took a look and rushed directly into the room where she used to live.
As soon as I opened the door, I ran into Xu Lanhe going out.
"Yunshuang, you're back?"
It was quite a surprise to see her.
"Knowing etiquette~"
The son was lying on the bed and started crying when he saw her.
"Mom, go and save my elder sister, don't let grandma hit her."
This child looks frightened and wants to go out but can't.
"Zhili, how are you?"
Liu Yunshuang said this and pulled the quilt off him.
Just one look and she couldn't stand it.
My son's butt was covered in blood. It must have taken a lot of effort.
The tears stayed and the person calmed down.
"Did your grandma do it?"
"Mom~"
Zhili also started crying and did not answer her.
The answer, of course, is self-evident.
Old Mrs. Xu also arrived at the door, cursing.
"Liu Yunshuang, you shameless person, what are you doing in my house?
Get out of here right now, our Xu family no longer recognizes you as our daughter-in-law."
Xu Lanhe also went out and was about to offer some words of comfort.
Liu Yunshuang kicked the door open directly, and there was a loud "bang" sound.
"What are you doing? Why are you pretending to be a hero?"
"Yunshuang, you..."
"Pah~"
Before Xu Lanhe could finish his words, she slapped him in the face.
"You~"
"Pah~"
Just as he was about to speak, Liu Yunshuang slapped him in the face again.
Then he raised his leg and kicked Xu Laoer in the crotch.
He felt pain instantly, his body hunched over like a shrimp, his hands tightly covering his lower body, his face full of disbelief.
"Ah, my son~"
Old Mrs. Xu let out a shrill scream and was about to go over to help Xu Lanhe.
Liu Yunshuang seized the opportunity and grabbed the back of her neck.
She is tall and has been working in the fields for many years, so she is very strong.
"What are you doing, you little whore, I'm going to beat you to death."
As he said that, he pounced at her with bared fangs and claws.
Liu Yunshuang grabbed the collar and twisted it. The old lady turned around and then fell forward with the force of her hand.
Xu Lanchun in the room finally couldn't sit still anymore and ran out quickly.
Of course, there is also her biological daughter Xu Zhiwei.
"Mom, how are you, Mom."
Du Ruohong and Xu Zhinian were completely stunned by the scene before them. Her second aunt actually pushed her grandmother down.
"Liu Yunshuang, what do you want to do?"
"What are you doing? I want to kill you."
She said this with gnashing teeth, and directly picked up the carrying pole under the window and hit Xu Lanchun.
"Oh, oh, are you crazy?"
"Yeah, now you know I was crazy. Why didn't you think of now when you beat my son?"
She hit Xu Lanchun on the butt with every move, and she ran around the yard in pain.
"What a sin I have committed, someone has been beaten to death, help, someone is here."
The old lady sat on the ground and started wailing.
"Sister-in-law, please stop. It wasn't me who hit Zhili, it was mother who did it. It has nothing to do with me.
Ouch~"
At this moment, Xu Zhiqing also went to see Xu Zhili.
She also knew why her mother was so angry. Her skin was torn and her flesh was torn apart!
She was also angry, so she ran to the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife.
"Who beat my brother like that? Tell me~"
Her voice was very loud and she was shouting at Xu Zhiwei.
The other party was also startled, but she was used to bullying her for a long time and recovered instantly.
"Why are you yelling at me? I didn't beat you.
He has dirty hands and feet, and he deserves to be punished by you."
This seemingly casual remark directly pointed the finger at Old Mrs. Xu.
Sure enough, Xu Zhiqing looked over directly.
Old Mrs. Xu shivered and couldn't speak clearly.
"You little girl, you are so rebellious. You even dare to pick up a kitchen knife. Put it down immediately."
Xu Zhiqing was not frightened by her, but moved closer step by step.
"Zhiqing..."
Xu Laoer also saw it and hurried to call her, but unfortunately he couldn't even get up, let alone stop it.
"Girl, don't do anything stupid!
Yunshuang, come over here and take a look."
Du Ruohong was also scared and quickly called Liu Yunshuang.
"Zhiqing, be obedient and give me the knife~"
She didn't bother to beat Xu Lanchun anymore, and hurried over to take the kitchen knife from Xu Zhiqing's hand.
"Mom, they are such bullies."
"Yes, if you bully others, you should get the corresponding retribution, no one is exempt."
Liu Yunshuang patiently advised her daughter and didn't want her to do anything stupid.
But Old Mrs. Xu had no tact and retorted without knowing the consequences.
"Humph, you guys still want to kill someone, that kid has dirty hands, can't I teach him a lesson?"
(End of this chapter) 2024-08-11 Author: March Doesn't Know Spring
Chapter 16 I will sue you at the commune
Unexpectedly, everyone backed down.
Instead, it further encouraged the old lady's arrogance.
Sitting on the ground, he simply crossed his legs.
"Old Lady Xu, don't think that I won't beat you just because you're old.
You said my son has dirty hands and feet, what did he do?
You must explain it to me today and provide solid evidence, otherwise no one will be able to get away with it. "
Old Mrs. Xu was shaking her head and tail, looking very proud.
"He stole my tortillas, so what if I beat him up?
When he was young, he stole needles. When he grew up, he stole gold. I educate the children of our Xu family. What does it have to do with you, an outsider?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "outsiders". In the past two days, the matter about Xu Laoer and his wife having a disagreement and going to the team leader to get written documents had been widely circulated.
Now, what she said undoubtedly confirmed this statement.
"You're old now, your brain is full of shit.
A broken cornmeal pancake that needs to be stolen.
If you can't raise a child, just send it to me. You are a whore and you still want to be a virtuous woman, you old shameless man."
Liu Yunshuang was already angry with her, and after two lifetimes combined, she had long wanted to vent it out.
"You, you little slut, who are you scolding?
Giving birth to a child without an asshole is outrageous."
These days, her second daughter-in-law has been acting rebellious, and she has been fed up with it for a long time.
"I don't think you have shit in your head, you even eat breakfast in the toilet.
You beat my child to pieces with a cornmeal pancake. Do you still consider yourself a human being?
Xu Lao Er is a coward, I won't do it, today I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs~"
In her hand, she was holding the kitchen knife that she had snatched from Xu Zhiqing, with a fierce look in her eyes, and was about to move forward.
Old Mrs. Xu also panicked and jumped up.
"What are you doing? Put the knife down~"
As he spoke, a man rushed out from the crowd.
Two more women followed and snatched the kitchen knife from her hand.
When Old Mrs. Xu saw this, she burst into tears.
He pretended to sit down on the ground again and patted his thigh.
"Captain, you have to take charge for me. Liu Yunshuang hit someone and even tried to use a knife on me.
I am not alive anymore~"
When she was like this, no one came forward.
We were all from the same production team, and everyone knew who Old Lady Xu was.
Liu Yunshuang didn't really want to kill her, as she had just seen the captain Zhang Changming.
If she kills someone, she must pay with her life.
It's not worth sacrificing yourself for someone like Old Lady Xu.
"What are you arguing about? If you have something to say, just talk it out. Madam Xu, you should shut up too."
Liu Xiuzhen, the women's director, shouted, obviously disliking her.
Old Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, then began to cry with tears and snot.
"I am an old woman with a miserable life. At my old age, I was bullied by a younger man."
Liu Yunshuang really couldn't stand it, and she went forward without caring whether Liu Xiuzhen and the captain's wife Chen Chu'e were pulling her back or not.
"Your son isn't even dead yet, and you're already wailing?"
"Yunshuang, calm down~"
Chen Chu'e hurried forward and grabbed her. The two of them grew up together in the same village and were childhood friends.
After they each got married, their relationship is pretty good.
"Liu Yunshuang, you vicious woman, are you cursing my son like this?
You have been divorced by our family, don't even think about coming back again."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhang Changming immediately scolded them.
"What are you doing? Can't you just talk about it?
We are all from the same production team, isn't that shameful?
Liu Yunshuang, tell me what happened."
The captain spoke and asked her to speak first, which was obviously on her side.
"Mrs. Xu cut my son's butt into pieces, leaving his skin and flesh exposed.
Zhinian wanted to boil an egg for Zhili, and she beat the kid too. "
It is normal for elders at home to beat children, but if the children are beaten to the point of being torn into pieces, that is too much.
"Captain, don't listen to her, that kid has dirty hands.
Last night, when everyone was asleep, he went to the kitchen to eat some corn tortillas and I caught him there. "
Zhang Changming was also speechless, looking at the aggressive Old Lady Xu.
"So, if a child is hungry and wants to eat a tortilla, you will kill him?"
In this era, people could not afford fine grains, and corn cakes were a very common food on the table.
"Hey, what do you mean? I locked all the biscuits in the cupboard, and he just stole them!
Captain, you can't be partial!"
Old Mrs. Xu spoke very rudely, and she also knew that Liu Yunshuang and Zhang Chu'e had a good relationship.
"I'm just telling the truth. If a child is hungry at night, he can't eat a tortilla.
"Mrs. Xu, what is your intention in exaggerating and destroying the socialist peace?"
This is really like stepping on the tiger's tail. As soon as the other person said a word, he started to blame the team leader. He deserves to be scolded.
"I don't have it, that thing is mine, I won't give it to you.
He took it when I wasn't paying attention, which is stealing."
Old Mrs. Xu refused to give in and insisted that Zhili had stolen something.
"What is yours? Have you ever worked in the fields and earned a single work point in all these years?
When I divorced Xu Laoer, I didn't take anything away from him, and my son still didn't have a single bite to eat?
Besides, in the past two days, he ate two of his three meals a day at my place.
Just because I took a piece of bread, you beat me to death?"
Liu Yunshuang didn't want to continue talking and turned to look at Zhang Changming.
"Captain, Mrs. Xu is being unreasonable.
If you go into the room and take a look, you will see that Zhili can no longer get off the kang and has to lie down on his stomach even when he sleeps.
We won't cause you any more trouble about this matter. I'm going to go to the commune and report her.
This is premeditated murder and he must go to jail."
She slammed the door loudly, and Zhang Chu'e also ran into the house, followed by a cry of surprise.
Liu Xiuzhen also hurried in, and when they came out, both of them had gloomy faces.
"Mrs. Xu, you are too dark, that is your own grandson.
Captain, I agree with Comrade Liu Yunshuang's approach. Send the people to the commune!"
Liu Xiuzhen snorted coldly, and public opinion turned to one side.
Those who were watching the fun knew that the old lady had probably used some heavy hands, otherwise how could a cadre report this matter to the commune?
"No, we can't go to the commune. My mother is old and can't stand the hardship."
Xu Lanchun also panicked and hurried over to stop them.
Seeing that everyone was serious about it, Old Lady Xu also started to get scared.
She is domineering at home, but a paper tiger outside.
The word "commune" makes me scared when I hear it.
"That's not up to you. You have to go today and give me an explanation."
As she said that, Liu Yunshuang was about to go and pull people over.
Amid the scuffle, Xu Lanjiang and Xu Lanhai came back.
Someone with quick legs has already gone over to tell them.
"Oh my god, second brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
(End of this chapter) "Big Boss, Third Boss, you're back.
I just beat up that little monkey Zhili, but they just wouldn't give in and insisted on making us go to the commune.
The captain is also unreasonable and helps that little whore."
Seeing her two sons come back, Old Mrs. Xu felt that she had found a supporter.
While making a complaint, he also did not forget to drag down others.
"You keep calling me a whore, what's the matter, have you ever worked in a related profession?
No wonder all your children are different, it turns out your father is unknown!"
Liu Yunshuang had long been fed up with her. Not only did she speak harshly, but she also made personal attacks.
She must be made to understand what it means to "give someone a taste of their own medicine".
"I'll beat you to death, you shameless bastard..."
The most taboo thing in rural areas is to talk about these things. If there is someone who cheats on his wife, he will be laughed at to death by others.
It even became a topic of conversation after dinner.
After Liu Yunshuang said this, she was pressed several times. Who could bear it?
"mother…"
Xu Lanjiang and Xu Lanhai rushed over and grabbed the man.
"Sister-in-law, don't go too far.
You are throwing this kind of dirty water on my mother, are you trying to force her to death?"
Xu Lanhai also looked at her with resentment, his eyes full of condemnation.
"First, Xu Lanhe and I are divorced, and I am no longer your sister-in-law.
Second, since you know it's dirty water, but the old lady has told you so many times, why can't you hear it?
You are still in high school, and you are so hypocritical, right?
Third, she is not dead. You can put the blame on me after she dies."
To be honest, she still hates her brother-in-law Xu Lanhai.
He claimed to have attended high school and was conceited. In the early years, he always wanted to go to the city to work.
Later, I prepared for the college entrance examination. I worked for three days and rested for two days. The work points I earned throughout the year were not enough to support myself.
"You are simply unreasonable, ignorant, and stupid~"
Good boy, this made Liu Yunshuang laugh.
"If it's unreasonable, don't bother with it. Why are you pretending~"
Xu Lanhai clenched his fists, as if he might explode at any time.
"Stop talking, Yunshuang, I know you are doing this for Zhili's sake.
Mother really shouldn't have used such harsh measures, but you've gone too far, coming back and making such a scene."
As the eldest brother, Xu Lanjiang has always felt like an elder brother who is like a father.
But deep down, I am selfish.
"Since you knew she shouldn't have been so harsh, why didn't you stop her?
Now, what qualifications and position do you have to criticize me? Are you worthy? "
Xu Lanjiang was also confused. How could his second brother's wife, who were usually quiet, become so aggressive?
"Hey, second brother, can you say something?"
What he meant was, this is your wife.
Xu Lanhe had already stood up, but he was still in great pain. He had used a lot of strength in that kick against Liu Yunshuang just now.
"Okay, stop making a fuss. The child will heal quickly. The wound may look scary, but it's actually not a big deal."
"It's okay to let your mother fart, so why don't you try it too?"
Liu Yunshuang's eyes turned red. This Xu Lanhe was really a jerk.
"Then what do you want? Are you really going to send my mother to the commune? She's already that old."
Listen, it sounds like she is being unreasonable.
"Xu Lanhe, put away your angry look.
You took the child back from my house yesterday, and your mother beat him. If you had stopped her, this wouldn't have happened.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Do you have a heart?
Since you don't want to keep him, just give him back to me!
Not only will I sue this old woman, but you can't stay out of this either. People from the same nest are all accomplices."
This time, she included everyone.
"Okay, since we can't solve it, let's go.
I'm willing to take the risk and wait until your business is over, but I don't know how the verdict will be.
Get out of our Red Star Production Team. I don't want to worry about you."
Zhang Changming's tone was not good either. If the old lady Xu spoke like that just now and was caught by someone with ulterior motives, he might be implicated.
The policy has been relaxed in the past two years, but the cadres are being checked very strictly!
"I dare not, team leader, there is no need to go to the commune, it's not a big deal.
Yunshuang, you have also seen that being expelled from the production team will not do you any good.
After all, Zhili's surname is Xu, so let's make a big deal out of a small matter and a small matter out of nothing."
The first one to panic was Xu Lanjiang. If he was expelled from the production team, that would be the end of him.
There would be no production team nearby to accept them. With no place to work, they would all starve to death.
"Yes, sister-in-law, just tell me what you want.
Why bother bringing the quarrel to the commune? It will make things ugly for everyone."
The second person who was anxious was Xu Lanhai. He was still thinking about taking the college entrance examination, and he absolutely could not have any stain on his body.
Even Lin Qingqing, who had been hiding in the house, came out, fearing that she would be affected.
"Comrade Liu Yunshuang, if you have any requests now, please tell them.
Don't worry, we women are your backers."
Liu Xiuzhen's tone is very official, but it is particularly shocking.
"Director, Captain, you have also seen my poor child.
If he were to stay here forever, he might die someday.
I want to take him away and cut off his relationship with the Xu family."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Xu immediately quit.
"Impossible, he is our male, you can take him away if you want, no way."
I almost forgot about this old grasshopper.
Allowing her to jump for one more second would be disrespectful to her rebirth.
"And she, Mrs. Xu, must apologize to my son in front of everyone.
In addition, the medical and nutrition expenses of ten yuan cannot be reduced by a cent."
Old Mrs. Xu looked incredulous and suddenly raised her voice.
"You asked me to apologize and ask for money, you are still asleep.
Liu Yunshuang, you've been away for a few days and you don't know who you are anymore, right?
If our second son hadn't wanted you, you would still be picking up manure now~"
She spoke with gritted teeth, her triangular eyes widened into a circle, making her look like a mouse with white fur.
"Not uniting with comrades and creating divisions is an even greater crime."
No matter what, she likes to bring up her background.
In the past, she always thought that less trouble is worse than more, and basically never talked back.
The result was that the group of people became even more violent. Now she couldn't bear it anymore. The worst that could happen was that they would die together.
"You fart~"
"Mom, please stop talking. If I really go to the commune, how will I take the college entrance examination later?"
Xu Lanhai pulled her sleeve and felt quite embarrassed.
Old Mrs. Xu never expected that her youngest son, whom she always loved, would actually say such a thing. She was stunned.
"Lan Hai, do you want me to apologize to that little bastard of yours?"
Xu Laosan lowered his head and said nothing. Old Mrs. Xu couldn't believe it and turned her eyes to Xu Lanjiang again.
He was helpless and sighed.
"Mom, Zhicheng is still in the army. If we make a scene and lose face, it will also affect him.
You love this grandson the most, and you don't want to ruin his future!"
In this era, most military personnel who retire can be assigned jobs.
Even if you return to your hometown and are unemployed, you will receive a generous allowance.
Xu Zhicheng has always been the hope of their eldest wife.
"Yes, mother, the two little ones are ignorant, and Zhicheng is innocent.
He wrote back last month, saying he missed you."
Du Ruohong couldn't care less about her daughter at the moment and hurried over to persuade her.
Looking at her children who all did not stand on her side, she felt angry.
He caught sight of Xu Lanhe standing next to him, and rushed over, clenching his fist and hitting his arm hard.
"Second brother, what have I done wrong? Let me apologize to your son.
You might as well kill me. This is throwing my face on the ground and stepping on it. I won't live anymore~"
Sure enough, as soon as Old Mrs. Xu started howling, Xu Lanhe surrendered immediately.
"Mom, don't worry, Zhili is your grandson.
He doesn't dare ask you to bow your head and apologize, and your son won't allow it either."
Liu Yunshuang rolled her eyes. After being a coward all her life, she suddenly became tough. It was really rare.
"Good son, mother knew that her love for you was not in vain.
Your eldest brother and the third brother are both ungrateful people."
These words were somewhat resentful.
Encouraged, Xu Lanhe straightened his back instantly.
"Yunshuang, don't embarrass me, Zhili is a junior after all.
If you are not satisfied, you can hit me twice."
Haha, this reminded her.
People in rural areas have this saying: making elders bow their heads can easily shorten their lifespan.
Although she didn't believe this, she felt that the old lady should apologize.
But there will always be those gossips.
It's just a meaningless sentence, and it's hard to say what it will be spread into.
"Xu Lanhe, you didn't protect your son, you deserve to be beaten.
Since you want to take her place, let me beat your ass too, tit for tat."
He didn't expect that Liu Yunshuang would be so disrespectful to him.
It's not nice to have a grown man's butt beaten to pieces!
"Yunshuang, sister-in-law knows that I have no right to say anything, so just consider it as giving me face.
Don't let the second brother lose face, it will also affect the reputation of Zhiqing and the other two sisters in the future."
Originally, she didn't want to care, but then she saw Xu Zhinian.
This child suffered this misfortune because of his good manners.
At present, the most important thing is to obtain the ownership of my son.
"Sister-in-law, since you said that, I will definitely give you this face.
Xu Lanhe, you don't have to apologize, and you don't have to get beaten.
But you must promise that you will never disturb our lives again from now on."
"Son, promise her that you are something special.
"Pah~"
Old Mrs. Xu is becoming more and more arrogant again, and is simply like an indestructible cockroach.
"Before I change my mind, you'd better shut your stinky mouth, otherwise, see you in the commune."
She was also sure that this group of people would not dare to go.
"Okay, I promise..."
"Words are not enough, written evidence is enough~
Captain, I have to trouble you again."
Zhang Changming sighed. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of shit at all.
Finish early, it's too early.
"Okay, since you have no objection, I will write you this letter of guarantee."
He took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket. He carried them with him as he calculated his work points every day.
Liu Yunshuang was watching from the side, and the content had to be clear, and Xu Zhili was attributed to her.
Other members of the Xu family are not allowed to disturb them under any name.
Make three copies, and the brigade will keep one copy.
Because there was no ink, she simply bit her finger and pressed on it.
When it was Xu Lanhe's turn, he hesitated.
"What, do you want to regret it?"
"Yunshuang, are you serious?
Do you really want to get away from me?
Think carefully, once you press this handprint, there will be no possibility of coming back.
Three children are left without a father, you are left without a man.
You really need to think it over carefully. There should be a limit to how much temper you can throw."
He was really a little panicked. At first he just thought that if he let her be upset for two days, she would naturally get better.
But why does Liu Yunshuang seem so resolute?
It was as if something was being peeled away from his body, and the feeling made him feel suffocated.
"Xu Lanhe, this couldn't be more true.
We are not the same kind of people, let's let each other go.
Just be a good child to your mother, and we will never ask you for a grain of rice even if we starve to death."
Looking at her ex-husband, she also wanted to live a good life with him.
But this kind of person really doesn't deserve it.
There must be something hateful about pitiful people. This statement is absolutely true.
"Why bother talking to her so much, son? Don't want her.
Let's see how long she can keep showing off~"
In this era, there is no man in the family and there are three children.
One can imagine how Liu Yunshuang's life was.
Even those who were watching the fun wanted to come up and give some advice.
"Okay, I know you're just being mad.
As long as you are happy, I can put my fingerprints on you.
Don't worry, I will help you raise the child in the future."
As Xu Lanhe said this, he bit his finger and pressed it.
After receiving the letter of guarantee, Liu Yunshuang was overjoyed.
I thought I could only get Zhili back in winter when there was nothing to eat.
I didn't expect it to be so smooth.
"Alright, the paperwork has been signed, so hurry up and get the hell out of here."
Old Mrs. Xu was humiliated today and was already unhappy.
Seeing them made me even more angry.
"Don't forget, the ten dollars for medical expenses and nutrition expenses, give it to me quickly.
There are so many eyes watching us, how can you deny your debt?"
"I don't have any money, but I have my life..."
Seeing that she was about to make trouble again, Xu Lanjiang sighed.
"Mom, this is shameful. Please give it to her quickly. Zhili really needs medical attention."
"What are you looking at? He's precious. Where can I get ten dollars? Do I look like ten dollars to you?"
This is going to be a cheat.
"I'll give you five minutes. If you can't produce it, Captain, just follow the procedure."
When I saw Zhang Changming, I thought of being kicked out of the production team.
Xu Laosan also became anxious and hurried over to persuade her.
The two people spoke quietly and she couldn't hear clearly.
Old Mrs. Xu finally went back in a bad mood. Others didn't know what happened, but Liu Yunshuang knew.
Xu Lanhai is so selfish, he definitely doesn't want anything to happen.
This must be another empty promise, otherwise it wouldn't be so satisfying.
"A group of debt collectors, here you go~"
A crumpled big solidarity note was thrown directly over.
Hey, her temper is really unbearable.
Old Mrs. Xu is simply courting death.
Seeing that she was about to explode, Xu Lanhai quickly picked up the money and stuffed it directly into her hand.
"Second sister-in-law, take the money. This matter is over. Go back quickly."
Come to think of it, I am quite disgusted with her.
"Of course I have to go back, but I have to take our things back with me as well."
"No, what do you mean, Liu Yunshuang, don't push your luck."
Wow, Xu Lanchun is now coming out to seek attention.
"Since it's no longer a matter of relationship, we'll naturally take our things back.
Why, didn't anyone tell you?"
Hearing this, Du Ruohong hurriedly explained.
"Qingqing said she went to talk to Lanchun, so I didn't care."
Lin Qingqing didn't expect that watching a play would involve herself.
"I, I had a stomachache yesterday, so I went to bed early.
Lanchun, my second sister-in-law said that the kang cabinet in your house belongs to her mother's family, and she wants you to clean it out."
I have to say, Lin Qingqing is quite smart.
In this way, the point of conflict was shifted and everyone focused on the issue of the kang cabinet.
Liu Yunshuang didn't want to get too entangled as Zhili was still waiting for her.
However, we have to do it today, otherwise we will never have any contact with each other again.
"Captain, Director Liu, my family has always lived in the Red Star Production Team.
I believe many elderly people have seen the things in the house when they visited.
After I got married, the Xu family took over the property under various pretexts.
There are so many big and small ones that I won't count them all.
Today, we must take back our two kang cabinets and six jars."
She spoke in a loud and clear voice, but Mrs. Xu and her daughter refused to accept it.
Even Xu Zhiwei looked pale.
There were two kang cabinets, and the entire Red Star Production Team couldn't find a third one.
Now, she and Xu Lanchun each have one.
"Don't even think about it. That's mine. What does it have to do with you? I've been using it for years."
"Haha, then let everyone judge for themselves. It's yours as long as you use it.
It's been so many years, and I won't say anything. You can just feel at ease. Even thieves are not so rampant."
Xu Lanchun also refused to do it. If the kang cabinet was taken away, what would she use?
"I understand now, you probably have a lover.
She was in a hurry to use these two cabinets as her dowry. No wonder she was so angry and wanted to divorce me.
So you have a mistress, you shameless bastard."
Wow, the first sentence was just a guess, but by the end, she was already convicted.
Is there really no better reason for this person?
Liu Yunshuang was not in a hurry either, and looked at her with a smile.
"I'm not as capable as you. Not to mention having a mistress, I've even given birth to someone else's child."
"You're talking nonsense~"
Xu Lanchun was particularly sensitive about this matter and immediately raised his voice.
"Forget about it. Do you think that if you just throw the child to me, no one will know?
After so many years, why haven't any good families come to propose marriage?
Have you ever thought about the few people who either lost their wives or were disabled?"
Liu Yunshuang looked at him as if he were a fool, and her eyes were full of contempt.
Originally, everyone was just guessing about this matter.
Now that it has been confirmed by the parties involved, there was an uproar at the entrance of the hospital.
Xu Lanchun was also confused. She had always felt very strange.
I am prettier than all the women in the village.
Why is there no good man proposing to me? Year after year, I am becoming an old maid.
It would be a lie to say that I'm not in a hurry.
"Captain, I want to get my stuff back."
Zhang Changming didn't expect that this would happen.
"I also said before that I have to give other people's things to them. Xu Lanjiang, you guys can do whatever you want."
Naturally, there was nothing in the old house, and the things were not in their room.
"Okay, take it~"
"Why, you..."
Before Old Mrs. Xu could say anything, she was pulled by Old Third Xu to the east room of the main house.
Cursing and swearing doesn't get in the way after all.
When Liu Xiuzhen saw this, she called a few daughters-in-law over to help clean up.
"Yunshuang, which of the six vats are you talking about? Come over here and identify them."
"Okay~"
In addition to a water tank, there is also one for cornmeal.
The remaining few were in the warehouse. Liu Yunshuang pointed them out and Du Ruohong followed to pack up.
Originally, Zhang Changming didn't want to care about it, but his wife refused to let him.
There was no other choice but to grab a few people from the crowd who were watching and ask them to help carry the things back.
Liu Yunshuang went back to the original room, took out a coat and tied it around Xu Zhili's waist.
It just covers the buttocks at the bottom, and then carries the person on its back.
"Zhiqing, take the quilt away, it belongs to our family."
"Hey~"
The little girl agreed, tidied herself up a little, and picked up the baby along with the quilt.
Even Xu Zhiyi was hugging her brother's pillow.
When the four mothers went out, Xu Zhiwei was standing under the window.
"Mom, why did you say that?"
Liu Yunshuang was still a little afraid of this heroine.
If she is still the same as in her previous life, I will probably take revenge on her.
"Xu Zhiwei, I don't deserve to be called your mother, your mother is Xu Lanchun.
I am just your aunt, no, I am not even your aunt now."
Hearing this, she sneered.
"So, you're going to say something like that and let everyone laugh at me?"
"You're overthinking it. You were right there just now, and it was Xu Lanchun who was being aggressive.
You are making up rumors about me out of nothing.
If you really take me seriously, why don't you refute her?
Yesterday, Zhili was beaten, and you didn't stop it.
Usually, he would send you any good things he had.
And your eldest sister was beaten by your grandmother, did you really not know about it?
If you can't do it yourself, why ask others to do it? I don't owe you anything.
On the contrary, you grew up drinking my milk."
She said it with a clear conscience, looking straight at her.
"I am not your biological child after all, so you don't have to consider me."
"If you want to think so, I can't help it.
God is watching what we do, and I, Liu Yunshuang, have never done anything to let you down."
Xu Zhiwei didn't say anything, she just walked away.
A roar suddenly sounded from behind.
"System, what should I do now? Everyone knows that I am Xu Lanchun's daughter. How can Liu Yunshuang be so vicious?"
"Host, there is no need to be angry.
This is not a big deal. Living with her may not be a good thing either.
Staying in the Xu family is the best choice for you."
She didn't hear anything afterwards either.
Therefore, this system is not omnipotent and can only analyze the pros and cons based on specific circumstances.
It's more like a military advisor. Xu Zhiwei's success in her previous life was probably due to its help.
When they reached the door, Xu Lanchun rushed out.
There was hatred in his eyes, but he tried his best to suppress it.
"Liu Yunshuang, how much do you know about what happened back then?"
No wonder he didn't dare to make a fuss just now, it turns out he was worried about this matter.
"Humph, I know everything you don't want others to know.
If you are smart, stay away from us from now on.
Otherwise, I'm not sure I would make it public for you."
Compared to what happened back then, getting pregnant before marriage was child's play, so Xu Lanchun was naturally afraid.
"I don't believe it. Just say it out loud if you have the guts!" Liu Yunshuang did not think much about it. Xu Zhili on her back was also feeling uncomfortable, so she had to go back quickly.
There are also people helping to carry things, and they have all reached the door.
"You told me to speak and I'll speak. Who do you think you are, tsk~"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Xu Lanchun was so angry that he jumped up and down, thinking that Liu Yunshuang had done this twice and still said nothing.
He must be trying to trick her, damn it.
…
The Xu family's old house is not very close to the Liu family's house, but it is not far either.
After all, she needed help from others, so Liu Yunshuang was grateful.
He put Zhili on the kang in the west room, put a pillow under him, and prepared to go to the kitchen to boil water.
Chen Chu'e stopped her and said with concern: "It's not necessary to be so particular. Just take care of the child!"
"That won't work. We don't have anything to entertain you at home. We have to drink some water."
Liu Xiuzhen also came over to pull her and said, "No need. We farmers don't have to be so particular. We even drink hot water.
If you are thirsty, there is nothing better than drinking a bottle of water from a well."
"Yes, Comrade Liu Yunshuang, don't think too much, we are all here to help.
Even if you get divorced, you can still live a good life.
Now men and women are equal, as long as they are willing to work hard, our production team will not give up any comrade. "
"The captain is right, Yunshuang, if you need anything in the future, just tell your aunt."
"Yeah, right? We are no worse than others~"
After Zhang Changming said this, the people below echoed him.
There is not much work to do during this season, and basically only the men in the family go to the fields.
That's why there are so many people helping.
Liu Yunshuang's eyes were full of fire. Whoever said that they were all bad people.
"Thank you all, I have nothing to repay you, so I bow to you all."
As he said this, he bent down and lowered his head.
"Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up..."
Chen Chu'e hurried over to help her, and everyone gave them some words of advice before leaving one after another.
There are two kang cabinets, placed on the kang side of the east and west rooms respectively.
Several large vats were placed under the window, but no one knew how to arrange them, so they didn't do anything.
"Yunshuang, hurry up and get some medicine for the child, the old woman was too harsh.
It's not necessarily a bad thing for you to leave her house."
Looking at her former best friend, Liu Yunshuang was filled with mixed emotions.
In her previous life, Xu Zhiwei went to the village to invest and build a factory.
Because Chen Chu'e stood up for her, she was ostracized by everyone and even Zhang Changming lost his position as village director.
At that time, there was no production team anymore, so it was natural for him to become the village director and his future was bright.
"I know, thank you for today.
I know everyone treats me this way just for your sake~"
"You're still so polite to me. I won't talk to you anymore. Hurry up and pack up. I have to go back to cook."
Liu Yunshuang sent her to the door and then came back to see Xu Zhili.
"Mom, does that mean I don't have to go back anymore?"
"Yes, dear child, you have been wronged.
From now on, you will follow your mother. Even if I have to sell everything I have, I will still raise you sisters."
"Mom, that's great~"
Xu Zhili was quite happy, and so was Xu Zhiqing.
"Kid, you've suffered, and I should have helped you get justice today.
But, in order to get you back, I can only endure it temporarily, will you blame me?"
Hearing this, he quickly shook his head.
"No, I'm very happy, Mom. You were awesome today. You beat my aunt so hard that she ran all over the yard.
You also made my grandma and dad embarrassed, you are really awesome."
Um, I didn't expect that I would be worshipped.
"The best one should be your sister~"
Xu Zhiqing was a little confused and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"I?"
"Yes, our Zhiqing was great today. For her brother, she even dared to fight with those people with a knife.
You are my mother's pride, and you are protecting your brother."
As he said that, he pulled her over and held her in his arms.
Then he gave Xu Zhili a look.
The eldest daughter has always been weak and doesn't like to talk much.
This time, I was really pushed into a corner.
"Thank you, big sister. When I grow up, let me protect you, mom, and little sister.
I will protect you all~"
"Okay~"
Xu Zhiqing was also very happy. She didn't expect Liu Yunshuang to praise her and hug her.
"But, Zhiqing, there is something that Mom must tell you.
Even though you are overdoing it in pampering them, you can't really use a knife to hurt them.
If you kill someone, you will also be punished. It's not worth it, understand?"
The little girl really understood and was really angry today.
However, Xu Zhili didn't understand.
"Mom, but if I don't teach them a lesson, then I've been bullied for nothing."
Liu Yunshuang blinked her eyes. She must always keep the education of her children in mind.
"Zhiqing, Zhili, and your little Zhiyi.
Listen carefully, when you encounter danger, you must fight back, but you cannot kill others.
Just like today, we can use a carrying pole or a stick to take revenge, but we cannot use a knife.
When you encounter problems in the future, you must do the same thing and not let yourself be bullied, but you must not make serious mistakes, understand?"
"I understand~"
Both of them nodded. Little Zhiyi saw it and nodded too. So cute!
"Okay, you guys stay home and listen to your sister. I'll go get you some medicine."
"No, Mom, I don't feel any pain. I'll be fine in two days."
"How can that be possible~"
A child can be sensible, but she can't do nothing.
Now that I have gotten ten dollars from Old Mrs. Xu, it is reasonable to go out and buy something.
There is a place selling medicine in the village, but it is not a clinic.
It was just a private home. For Xu Zhili's condition, there was no ointment to apply. In the end, they just prescribed some painkillers and that was it.
Liu Yunshuang sighed, but this was the only way now as the conditions were limited.
After returning home, she took a bowl to collect some spiritual spring water, boiled it and let him eat a piece.
This should have a good effect. I hope it can be helpful to my son's injury.
I originally wanted to go to the county town today as I still have a lot of things to buy at home.
After struggling for a long time, I couldn't get out.
However, there are also a lot of things to do at home.
There are still about twenty days before the flood.
According to this season, as long as you water the plants well and plant some leafy vegetables, you will definitely have food to eat.
There was no space left at home, so she dug up a piece of sweet potato from the front yard.
It doesn't need to be too big, and now with a shovel, it can be done a lot faster.
Looking back, I still have to buy a pickaxe.
It is most convenient to use a pickaxe to dig potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.
After a busy day, I finally finished planting the vegetables before dinner.
I brought a bucket of water over, but there was only a bowl in the house that I could use to scoop water.
Liu Yunshuang took the opportunity to mix in a lot of spiritual spring water and watered the rapeseed before going into the house to eat.
Xu Zhili could only lie down, so he was allowed to eat alone. Now he had chopsticks, which were much more convenient than wooden sticks.
"Mom, I'll wash those sweet potatoes later. You take a rest."
Xu Zhiqing felt sorry for her seeing that she had been busy all day.
"No need to wash it, Zhiqing, just put it in the cellar with the mud on." I don't plan to eat those things all at once.
If you wash it, it will go bad in a short time.
It would be better to carry the mud with you, the situation would be better.
"Okay, then wash as much as you eat.
Oh, by the way, mom, we don't have much firewood left at home. I'll go pick some up tomorrow! I
'll also go see if there are any edible wild vegetables. These sweet potatoes are not ripe yet, it would be a pity to pick them."
In the summer, there are a lot of wild vegetables, but they are all relatively old.
If people eat it, it has no taste, so everyone will choose to feed it to chickens or something.
But, how many kinds are edible?
"Tomorrow, we can go together. We need more firewood.
I'll borrow a cart later so we can bring back more."
"Okay~"
This is how it is in this era, especially in rural areas, where smoke is produced even when eating.
Firewood is also very important, and you have to stockpile some. If there is a flood later, it will be inconvenient to go up the mountain.
There is still a place to store firewood at home. When you think about it, there are really a lot of things to do.
After asking the children to tidy up and go to bed, Liu Yunshuang took advantage of the moonlight to weave baskets with the willow branches.
Now she wishes she could split her time into two halves.
"Mom, why don't you teach me and I'll help you weave it."
"No, Zhiqing, there's no rush, let's talk about it later.
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to the big market in town, as we're still short of a lot of things at home.
It's just right, I'll buy some delicious food to nourish you guys.
There are still two twists of fried dough sticks left, but I forgot to take them out and eat them in the evening.
I'll put it on the bed later, and you three can eat it tomorrow morning."
When Xu Zhiqing heard that she was going to Qingshi Town, she felt a little longing in her heart.
"Mom, do you want to buy a lot of things? Do you want me to go with you?"
"I originally wanted to take you two sisters for a walk.
Given Zhili's current situation, there has to be someone at home.
Zhiqing, thank you for your hard work while mom is away.
When your brother gets better, Mom will take you with her."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiqing nodded quickly.
"It's okay, mom. Don't worry about the family. I can take good care of them."
Liu Yunshuang rubbed her eldest daughter's head and felt relieved.
With Xu Zhiqing around, she really has less to worry about.
She finally finished a small basket and breathed a sigh of relief.
The remaining willow branches can be used to weave more than three.
I have been busy these two days.
He tiptoed to wash up, then lay down on the kang.
This day was really thrilling, but fortunately, my son came back, which is a great thing.
Liu Yunshuang was very happy when she glanced sideways at the three sleeping children.
…
The next morning, she went out early.
In 1976, the state approved the socialist fair.
Farmers can take their own property to the market to sell, or exchange it for other things.
Qingshi Town responded to the call immediately. The first and fifteenth day of every month are the busiest times.
Many people would bring their own agricultural and sideline products and look around, but other things were not for sale.
For example, grain, oil, meat and other items that are subject to state monopoly purchase and sale can still only be purchased from supply and marketing cooperatives.
This does not fall into the category of self-production and self-sales, but fortunately there is a supply and marketing cooperative in the town, so it is convenient to buy things.
As usual, I carry a big backpack. There are many things missing at home, so I will go on a shopping spree today.
There were also many people from the Red Star Production Team who wanted to go there. Even though she left home so early, she still met her fellow travelers.
What happened yesterday has spread, and when I saw her, I just wanted to ask about the Xu family.
Liu Yunshuang didn't want to pay attention to him, but there happened to be someone there who helped her yesterday.
I can only respond with a few simple sentences, that's all.
It's only six miles to Qingshi Town, not too far, and we'll be there in a moment.
She quickly separated from the group of people, as they were all carrying their own vegetables and eggs, preparing to exchange them for some money.
She was there to buy something, so of course it was different.
Go to the supply and marketing cooperative first. There aren't many people there now, so you won't be seen by acquaintances later.
Most people buy things first and then come to consume.
It's just the opposite, which is more convenient.
She first went to buy two pounds of pork belly, and then came back inside.
The butcher shop here is separate from the department store, and the supply and marketing cooperative in the town is not as big as the one in the county.
Fortunately, the commonly used items are all available and not in the way.
I packed a pound of soybean oil, bought a pound of salt, and also bought some soy sauce.
Because I didn't have any containers, I bought two small jars and a gourd nearby, which can be used in daily life at home.
Then I bought two paint basins and a pair of scissors.
In fact, there are still many things that need to be bought.
She didn't want to spend so much money at once, which was not nice.
I was finally reborn, and I really don't want to make mistakes in a place like this.
There was nothing left here, so I went to the grain station and bought five kilograms of flour.
Last time, the ticket Mr. Qiao gave included twenty kilograms of flour.
I happened to buy some meat today, so I went back to make some dumplings to celebrate the new life.
The market outside is bustling.
People from nearby production teams all came to the market.
In addition to buying things with money, you can also exchange them directly. The sounds of shouting and bargaining are endless.
Feeling the strong atmosphere of worldly life, Liu Yunshuang's steps became lighter.
I also bought five brooms, three cents each, no tickets required.
I guess there won't be any sorghum stalks available this year, so prepare them in advance if you see any.
I also bought a small broom for sweeping the kang. There is a big broom at home that can be used to sweep the floor.
I'll tie two bigger ones and use them to sweep the yard.
I also bought three gourd ladles, which makes it more convenient to scoop water.
I have been using bowls these days, which is very tiring.
In addition, I bought two heads of Chinese cabbage and five pounds of celery.
When I was getting ready to go home, I happened to meet a man selling tender cucumbers, which was the first of its kind at the market.
"Auntie, how much is this per pound?"
"Five cents. Look how tender I am. I haven't picked any older ones yet."
It is indeed very tender. If you pinch it with your fingers, it immediately leaves a mark.
However, five cents is indeed not cheap, and people around here look more than they buy.
"Give me two pounds!"
"OK…"
I didn't expect her to be so happy. The old lady was also very happy.
In the end, the scale gave a high score and even added one more, which made Liu Yunshuang very happy.
I bought another bundle of onions and prepared to go home. This trip was quite rewarding.
If I can still get it, I guess I'll still have to buy some more things.
It seems that I will have to come here next time there is a market.
She went back relatively early, so there were not many people on the road.
Thinking of the children seeing her returning with a full load, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"Ring, ring, ring~"
When the car bell rang, she quickly pulled over.
Two bicycles flew past, and it felt like the one wearing the hat was Mr. Qiao. Could it be that they were also here for the big market, because there was nothing they couldn't buy in the county town?
Or was it that they had something else to do?
Liu Yunshuang didn't have time to think about it and hurried home.
She was worried about her three children at home.
If the Xu family came to cause trouble, they would not be able to handle it.
Fortunately, everything is peaceful at home.
"Zhili, why are you up?"
Hearing this, the three children all looked over.
"Mom, are you back?"
When I saw her, my eyes were filled with surprise.
Especially Xu Zhiyi, who ran over with his short legs.
Liu Yunshuang quickly put down the onion and reached out to catch it, fearing that she would fall.
"Mom~"
The little girl cried out and threw herself into her arms.
Before, she went out to work every day, and her little daughter was not very close to her.
Instead, he prefers to stick to Xu Zhiqing, and now the situation has improved.
"My dear, do you miss your mother?"
"I thought about it~"
She was also happy and picked up the little guy. Xu Zhiqing came over and picked up the bundle of onions.
Xu Zhili was standing under the window, also smiling.
"Mom, I didn't run around. I just got up to go to the bathroom. My sister was holding me up the whole time."
"Is that so? Then go back quickly after class.
I'll go buy a urinal later."
Their toilet is in the northeast corner of the backyard.
It's not so bad in the summer, it's okay to get up in the middle of the night.
But in winter, the weather is too cold and it is really inconvenient.
Almost every household has a urinal.
She hadn't had time to buy it yet, and there was no suitable utensils at home.
When they got into the house and put down the backpack, Xu Zhiqing naturally poured her a bowl of water.
"Mom, what did you buy?"
"But there are good things~"
Liu Yunshuang blinked, looking mysterious, and took out the things in the backpack bit by bit.
"Oh my god, you bought meat?"
Xu Zhili's voice rose several degrees, and Xu Zhiqing was also surprised.
It's not a festival, what kind of food is this!
"That's right, I'll give you guys some nourishment.
Before, we never got any good stuff there.
Now, as long as mom is able, she will make sure you guys have good food and drink."
She didn't just mention Xu Zhili, her two daughters also needed some nourishment.
"Mom, we don't need to eat good food, as long as I can be with you, I'll be happy.
I'd be glad to have another beating."
"You're just being silly~"
Liu Yunshuang felt comforted as she talked about her son.
These days are always getting better and better.
Xu Zhiqing has already prepared lunch.
Because she didn't eat breakfast, she came a little earlier.
I washed a few tender cucumbers, cut them with a kitchen knife, and then washed a few onions.
It's a pity that there was no soybean paste, but the children still enjoyed the meal happily.
These tender cucumbers taste good. People who can grow vegetables have small families and are not short of food.
It's expensive, but with this quality, it will definitely sell well if it's sold in the city.
Not to mention that city people are rich, this thing itself is rare.
Suddenly, Liu Yunshuang's eyes lit up.
If I'm not mistaken, as a pilot project, they will be able to distribute the land to each household next year.
In addition, policies allowing free trade in rural areas will also be enacted.
By then, there won't be so many restrictions on raising chickens or anything like that.
She could raise more poultry and even pigs.
At that time, whether you eat it yourself or sell it for money, it will be a source of income.
The most important thing is that she now has this spiritual spring, which can help her grow vegetables with excellent taste.
Then you can take it to the city and sell it and make money.
Moreover, this is a long-term deal, and the more I think about it, the more feasible it seems.
"Mom, why are you so happy?"
"Nothing, let's eat dumplings tonight.
Would you like pork and cabbage or pork and celery?"
"Let's have cabbage. Celery is too hard. Zhiyi can't eat it."
"Yes, then eat cabbage~"
"good…"
She was also happy to see that both the siblings cared about their younger sister.
After dinner, the sun hasn't reached noon yet.
Today was relatively early, and she was not idle either, she started weaving baskets again.
These are very important tools for daily life at home. If you don't have them, you will feel lost.
Without having to explain, Xu Zhiqing packed up all the things she bought.
Our house is currently lacking a cupboard, so many things can only be placed next to the stove, which is very inconvenient and conspicuous.
Today at the market, some people were selling small cabinets, small stools and other things.
After much thought, I decided to find a carpenter in the village to make a cupboard for them.
If you buy it at the market, it will be inconvenient to bring it back.
She worked very quickly and finished weaving two small baskets in just one afternoon.
The remaining willow branches were just enough for a large basket.
There is not enough firewood at home. I can only cook dinner with what I have, and then I will do it tomorrow.
The three children were all looking forward to eating dumplings, so she was not vague about it.
Knead the dough quickly and let it rest for a while.
There are two lacquer basins, one for washing face and one for the kitchen.
Xu Zhiqing had already washed the cabbage over there, and the chopping board at home was a tree stump.
The Xu family already had some, and they didn't cook any other food, so they just kept this.
After brushing it clean, it is just right to use.
Liu Yunshuang hurried to cut the vegetables, first into strips, then into cubes, and finally into small pieces.
Then, sprinkle with salt and mix well.
The lacquer basin was occupied, and the cabbage was placed in the gourd ladle.
That one is also quite big and can hold it.
The conditions are really not good, so I have to bite the bullet and go ahead.
Two pounds of meat should also be chopped into small pieces.
Then, put the blanched cabbage in and add a little salt and soy sauce.
Finally, add a little soybean oil to lock in moisture.
When I started rolling out the dough, I realized I didn't have a rolling pin.
Xu Zhiqing swiftly ran to the backyard to borrow some, and Liu Yunshuang quickly tied the noodles.
The three children were very excited when making dumplings.
Especially Xu Zhili, he actually got up from the kang, stood at the kitchen door, and stared eagerly.
Soon, the dumplings were put into the pot and the house was filled with steam.
They were packed very well, not a single piece of stuffing was exposed.
I just didn't buy vinegar. I was negligent.
The dumplings were served and a few bowls of dumpling soup were also served.
The original soup and original food are absolutely indispensable.
"This smells so good, so delicious!"
Xu Zhili stood in front of the table and almost swallowed his tongue.
"If it tastes good, eat more. Come back and I'll make more for you."
Liu Yunshuang was also very happy and asked Xu Zhiqing to eat quickly.
I took two more and hung them up for Xu Zhiyi, as the little girl didn't know how to use chopsticks yet.
He just held it in his hands with a look of satisfaction on his face, as if he had discovered a new world.
She felt sad as these three children had never had a proper meal of dumplings with meat.
Alas~
"Aunt, are you guys eating?"
(End of this chapter) Chapter 45 Xu Zhiwei's Visit
Uh~
Caught off guard, the four of them turned to look at the door.
I was enjoying my meal and didn't notice when Xu Zhiwei came in.
However, she adapted to her identity very quickly and changed her tone immediately.
This is better, at least we don't have to worry about it anymore.
"Zhiwei, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Liu Yunshuang's attitude was indifferent. Logically speaking, she had made her point clear.
The heroine shouldn't be involved anymore. What's going on here?
"Aunt, I just came here to see Zhili~"
As he spoke, his eyes became wet, as if he was about to cry in the next second.
Obviously, he was hurt by Liu Yunshuang's attitude.
"Second sister, I'm fine, you don't have to worry, go back quickly."
"I, Zhili, are you angry that I didn't plead for you that day?
In fact, I always wanted to go out, but my mother wouldn't let me."
She slept with Xu Lanchun, so there is nothing wrong with saying that.
"Second sister, I know, I don't blame you."
Xu Zhili hurriedly explained, as if he was afraid that she would cry.
However, this sounded completely different to Xu Zhiwei.
"You have the right to blame me, but I really can't do anything about it!"
Liu Yunshuang didn't want to see her like this. Perhaps, she really wanted to help at that time.
But what
was the result? He did nothing, and was even worse than Xu Zhinian.
"Zhiwei, Zhili, you've seen it too, so just go back.
It's getting late, and it will be dark soon. You should be scared.
Your second uncle and I have already divorced, so it's not a good idea for you to come here now."
Moreover, she didn't want to have anything to do with this heroine.
It's better to stay away from ungrateful people as soon as possible.
"System, is Liu Yunshuang trying to chase me away? I came here to see them with good intentions."
"Host, they are trying to improve their lives. It is naturally inconvenient for you to be here."
She didn't expect that this "system" was actually a troublemaker.
It is true that it is not easy to eat meat dumplings these days.
No one would be so generous as to let others eat, but there's no need to speculate about her like that, as their relationship is already tense.
Sure enough, the heroine saw the dumplings on the table the next second.
Then, he showed a sarcastic smile.
Did you hear that?
"Well, since you don't welcome me, I'll leave.
Anyway, I am not your biological daughter."
As he spoke, he raised his stubborn little face.
The tears are about to fall, but they don't, which is very pitiful.
"You are indeed not my biological daughter, there is no doubt about this.
Even if you didn't help Zhili to plead for mercy at that time.
Then, you didn't have a chance to see him later?
You haven't done anything, why should we be grateful to you?
If you were siblings, you would be as brave as Zhiqing and would fight with that group of people with a kitchen knife.
Xu Zhiwei, you were the first one to stop considering us as a family."
She also said this to her son.
After all, ever since he was old enough to understand, he was taught to be unconditionally nice to Xu Zhiwei.
How could it be possible that just one or two things could change things?
His reaction just now clearly showed that he had softened his heart, and she had to wake him up.
Xu Zhiwei looked flustered and could hardly hold herself together any longer.
"System, Liu Yunshuang is angry!
If I ask her about the gold bracelet now, will she not tell me?"
"That's right. Didn't you say before that she had nothing in her house?
Now, she even uses soap. I guess she sold the gold bracelets a long time ago."
Liu Yunshuang was listening nearby, feeling a tightness in her heart.
She said, how could he be so kind.
It turned out that he was thinking about her bracelet. It seems that Xu Lanchun still remembered it.
Now, there is no heavy flood.
According to the trajectory of my previous life, I probably want to buy clothes again.
Well, if she got beaten, she must find a way to make it up to herself.
Old Mrs. Xu just gave her ten dollars, so it would be normal not to give it to her.
So, this idea came up.
"Aunt, I know you don't like me. If that's the case, then I'm leaving."
"System, she sold the bracelet, so her family should be very rich.
It won't all be spent so quickly."
"Probably not, probably hidden away.
You should go back and discuss it with your mother, and don't get involved in the rest of the matter."
Sure enough, after it said this, Xu Zhiwei really started to walk out.
I thought that at least Xu Zhili would stop her.
But, it didn't.
This family is really too much.
Liu Yunshuang was shocked, she knew she was being targeted.
It seems that she still needs to hide the money more secretly.
It is estimated that Xu Lanchun will not give up, and may even take risks.
If she wants to go out, she must leave these children at home.
No, we have to think of a way.
Because of Xu Zhiwei's arrival, the atmosphere at home became very depressing.
"Okay, don't be unhappy.
Eat quickly, or the dumplings will get cold."
The three children began to eat slowly, without the initial excitement.
Liu Yunshuang didn't want to say much. Some things had to be faced.
This is the current family situation. Even if you are young, you cannot stay out of it.
We are all part of it and should all have a sense of participation.
"Zhili, you don't have to be unhappy.
You heard what I just said.
Does your second sister's claim that she figured it out mean it must be true?
Anyway, in the end, it was your sister who took a kitchen knife and fought with others.
It was Chinen who cooked eggs for you and was beaten by your grandma.
She did nothing and was not hurt at all from beginning to end.
Some things should not be heard with ears, but felt with the heart. "
He was a little unhappy just now.
Now that Liu Yunshuang explained it, everything became much clearer.
"Mom, I know."
Although still gloomy, it is different after all.
"From now on, our family will be just four of us.
Apart from Zhiyi, you two are both not young anymore and you have to worry about some things.
Your grandma must be unhappy when she took out ten dollars.
If he makes a fuss and demands to go back like before, we will really starve to death.
From now on, I will have to go to work during the day.
You should be aware of what is going on at home, and you cannot trust anyone."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiqing and Xu Zhili looked at each other and nodded heavily.
"Mom, don't worry, no matter who comes, I won't let them into the house.
I will protect my brothers and sisters and won't let you worry about them."
"Me too. I don't trust anyone. They want us to starve to death. No way."
They came out of the old house without asking for any food. The two children knew what was going on.
Now that everything has been separated, naturally we have to take care of our small family.
"Well, it's good for you to know."
"I won't let Xu Zhiwei come over again. She always says some inexplicable things."
Liu Yunshuang looked at Xu Zhili. She was curious about everything about the heroine.
"What's going on?"
"Mom, she's just very strange. Once she asked me to keep watch for her.
She ran to the back of the room and didn't know what she was saying. I heard her crying, so I ran over to see.
As a result, she seemed to have turned into a ghost."
Xu Zhili's face turned pale as he recalled it. It must have been something incredible.
(End of this chapter) Chapter 24 Borrowing a Cart
"What's going on?"
Seeing her son like this, she didn't dare to be careless.
"She just said a lot of things, then started beating herself, and then rolled on the ground.
He even scratched his neck until it bled. I was too scared to go forward.
When she stood up, her eyes were red. "
Oh my god, this sounds so magical. I wonder if it has something to do with the system.
"Then why didn't you say anything later?"
"I don't dare. She won't let me say it, or she will ignore me."
Having said that, he lowered his head.
Liu Yunshuang sighed. It seemed that the heroine's fortune was not so easy to improve. There were already signs of this.
As for Xu Zhiwei, he probably doesn't like her now.
In the future, while saving your life, you still have to find a way to stay away from this group of people!
When I asked Xu Zhili again, there was nothing special.
When something is on my mind, I feel particularly irritated.
While there is still time, let's weave the remaining willow branches.
Xu Zhiqing has always been by her side. In addition to looking after her sister, she can also help out.
Knowing that she also wanted to learn on her own, Liu Yunshuang told her a few techniques.
The next morning, she got up before dawn again.
Wash some of the cabbage and celery I bought yesterday, and prepare to make some rolls with the remaining pork belly.
Only this time, there will be more dishes.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to pack many.
She moved very quickly, and by the time she had finished kneading the dough, it was just dawn.
After waking up the three children, she hurried out.
Zhang Changming also started cooking at home.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yunshuang came over suddenly, and Chen Chu'e hurried out of the kitchen.
"Yunshuang, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Seeing how nervous she was, I knew she really cared about me.
"Chu E, it's nothing serious, there's no firewood at home.
I want to borrow your cart to collect some firewood."
"Why not? This scares me. Come on, I'll take you there~"
As she spoke, Chen Chu'e led her to the back of the room.
Now, there are no livestock in the family.
This type of handcart is relatively light and convenient for use in any task.
"Yunshuang, are there any problems over there?
Don't hold it in. If anything happens, the team will not ignore it."
"It's okay, don't worry, I can handle it.
By the way, the house is still a mess these two days, so I won't go to work.
When you have time, talk to the captain about this so he can understand what's going on."
Anyway, even if I go to work, I won't get anything in the end.
It would be better to take this opportunity to clean up your house so that it won't be a waste of time.
"Okay, don't worry about it. I'll go talk to him."
"Chu'e, thanks to you for helping me this time. Come to my house next time and I'll make you some big steamed buns made of white flour."
Hearing this, the other party also laughed.
"I don't eat anything, as long as your family is well, that's more important than anything else."
After a few more words, she left.
I also have to cook and go to work later.
Besides, there was no firewood left at home, so we had to speed up.
Fortunately, they were not far from the mountain.
There were dead branches and other things everywhere, and it didn't take long to pick up a cartload of them.
Liu Yunshuang didn't continue. It was getting late and the children at home were still waiting.
Xu Zhiqing dressed her youngest daughter and helped the two children wash up.
I see she has already fermented the noodles but hasn't cooked yet.
After cleaning the house, Liu Yunshuang came back.
"Mom, did you go collect firewood?"
"Well, come and take it off."
"Okay~"
Xu Zhiqing hurried over to help, and then went to get her some water to drink.
Liu Yunshuang went to the kitchen and saw that the door was actually open.
I was totally shocked. How could the dough rise so quickly normally?
Could it be because of the spiritual spring water?
There was no time to think about it, so this was fine.
Then don't steam the rolls, just steam the buns directly.
Xu Zhiqing came over to light the fire and cleaned up the place quickly.
It was put into the pot very quickly. There was really nothing in the house, and the comb was borrowed from the backyard.
It seems that I still need to find some time to go to the county town.
The children were quite happy and kept wandering around the kitchen.
Xu Zhili's wounds also began to scab over. I don't know if it was because of the spiritual spring water she gave him to drink.
I always feel that this water is really magical, as if it can speed up the growth of things.
Even the vegetables that had just been planted had sprouted.
Estimated time, the buns are out of the pot.
Her bag is not too big, and it is white and plump, which is very pleasing to the eye.
"It smells so good!"
Xu Zhili sniffed and was already smitten.
"Go wash your hands, and take your sister with you.
It's time to eat~"
"good!"
She took a plate, picked up the buns one by one, and filled two plates.
The two flavors are separated. Zhiyi can't eat celery and can't chew it.
"Mom, this is so delicious~"
Xu Zhili stood beside the table, not caring about the heat, and ate one bite after another.
"Eat it slowly even if it's delicious. There's so much of it and no one will snatch it from you."
"Yes, Zhili, eat slowly and don't choke~"
Xu Zhiqing said this and pushed the bowl filled with boiled water over.
"Our mom's cooking skills are still the best. When I grow up and make more money, we can eat big buns every day."
"Haha~"
Liu Yunshuang was also amused by him. This kid was satisfied with just one bun.
I guess my son is not stupid about Xu Zhiwei.
In his previous life, he had feelings for her, and he fought with others for her, and became a cripple.
However, the male lead and the second male lead framed her and cut off her hands and feet and blinded her eyes.
He did not give up on his biological mother. At that time, he just wanted to ask for some medicine.
Xu Zhiwei didn't even give him any convenience, and let others block him at every turn.
She remembered that on the night she died, her son also jumped into the river.
Now, it is a great happiness for the whole family to be together.
There was constant laughter at the dinner table.
Liu Yunshuang finished eating, gave a few instructions, took four buns, and prepared to go out.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Go see Chinen, she got beaten up by your grandma for you.
Can we not say anything? That would be heartless."
So, those buns were for her.
Xu Zhili remained silent. This was indeed something that should be done.
"Mom, go ahead and I'll clean up the house."
"Um!
Oh, by the way, let's put some water in the tank and dry it in the sun."
"OK…"
At this time, everyone basically uses cold water.
While the weather is hot, prepare some water in advance to dry in the sun.
You can do laundry or take a shower at night, it's all warm.
After giving all the instructions, she carried a small basket and set off.
The buns were wrapped in cabbage leaves and covered with a headscarf.
Xu Zhinian and Xu Zhixin go to work every day.
Du Ruohong was also afraid that her two daughters would suffer under the old lady's care, so she let them go out to work when they were young.
Even one work point would be fine!
It's not very busy now, most people are just doing small jobs.
Most of the half-grown children like them worked in the fields to pick grass for pigs.
The team raised a lot of pigs and cows, and they were the ones who provided food for these animals.
When Liu Yunshuang went out to ask, she found out that today they were in the sunflower field at the foot of the mountain.
It happened to be not far away, so she went straight over.
Xu Zhinian was also surprised when he saw Liu Yunshuang.
"Second Aunt, why are you here? How's Zhili? Does your butt still hurt?" Chapter 49: Delivering Buns and Being Discovered
"It's okay. It's already starting to scab over. If you want it to heal, you'll have to take care of it for a while."
Liu Yunshuang said this as she picked the leaves off her hair.
"That's fine. It will heal soon once it scabs over."
"Well, what about you? Did your grandma give you trouble again later?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhinian sighed.
"She just scolded me a few times, and I ignored her."
"Good boy, I'm sorry for making you suffer.
Did you come here by yourself today?"
Xu Zhinian didn't know why she asked that, but he still answered honestly.
"And there is also the two of us~"
"Okay, call her quietly and let's go over there."
This place is quite large, but there are quite a few people coming here. If someone sees it and tells Old Mrs. Xu, it will be troublesome again.
"Okay, Second Aunt, then you go first, we'll follow."
"good!"
Liu Yunshuang didn't suspect anything and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
This is the foot of the mountain, and going forward is East Mountain.
There are many low shrubs nearby, so it is quiet to talk.
"Second Aunt~"
From a distance, Xu Zhixin greeted her.
Compared to her older sister, this child has a more eccentric personality.
Liu Yunshuang also waved to them, but didn't say anything.
There are quite a lot of people going up the mountain now, so there is no need to be too ostentatious.
"Look, what is this?"
She took the buns out of the small basket and peeled off the cabbage leaves they were wrapped in.
"White bread?"
The two sisters exclaimed in surprise at the food they ate.
In Old Xu's house, the two of them couldn't get anything either.
"What are you standing there for? Eat quickly!"
Xu Zhixin wiped her hands on her pants and was about to come over to get it, but was stopped by her sister.
"Second Aunt, you just shared it out, and we finally have something delicious.
Give it to Zhili and Zhiyi, we won't eat it."
She deliberately avoided looking at the two buns, but her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
Suddenly, it became awkward.
Liu Yunshuang picked up a bun and stuffed it directly into her hand, then picked up another one and gave it to Zhixin.
"Eat quickly, this is reserved for you."
This kind of exquisite food is naturally uncommon.
After all, they are all teenagers, how can they not be moved?
Watching them eat carefully and sweetly.
Liu Yunshuang felt both distressed and happy.
"I came to her house, but she didn't even want me to stay for dumplings.
She actually took the initiative to send them buns. This person is too partial. After all, I have called her mom for ten years. "
Hearing this, she was shocked. Is this Xu Zhiwei's voice?
After looking around, he finally locked onto the large rock diagonally opposite.
If nothing goes wrong, it should be there.
She is so omnipresent that she can see everything.
"Host, you are not her biological daughter. This is normal."
"Humph, my mom is right, she just has a problem with me."
So, this is just wind blown by Xu Lanchun!
"Chinen, Chishin, let's go over there~"
The two children followed her without hesitation.
We still have to be on guard against Xu Zhiwei.
In her previous life, she had the aura of a heroine and all good things happened to her.
Thinking about it, it seemed like everything started when she was ten years old.
Liu Yunshuang suddenly remembered something. Before the flood, she seemed to have found a lot of sweet potatoes on the mountain.
No one knew who planted it, and no one made it public at the time, but Old Lady Xu and Xu Lanchun were very proud of themselves for a long time.
Counting the days, it's probably in these two days.
"By the way, Chinen, Chishin, don't let anyone know about what happened today.
Your parents can't tell either, understand?"
"Second Aunt, don't worry, if you bring us food, we will definitely keep it a secret."
Liu Yunshuang nodded. For Zhinian, it was to repay her for helping Zhili.
Being intimate is just a by-product and it's nothing.
"When you go back, be careful with your words and actions, and be especially careful of Xu Zhiwei.
You can't be alone with her, and don't have direct conflicts with her, understand?"
Just now, she saw it.
She was afraid that if she went back and found fault with the two children, she would become a sinner.
"Don't worry, Second Aunt, Xu Zhiwei doesn't want to play with us at all.
My sister-in-law said that she will be a noble lady in the future, unlike us peasants."
Zhixin said this with a look of contempt on her face, and it seemed that she also had something against her.
He doesn't work in the fields, enjoys the support of the whole family, and yet looks down on others.
Anyone would feel unbalanced in this situation.
"Okay, let's go back quickly before anyone finds out."
"Well, Second Aunt, you should go back as well."
The three of them said goodbye and went about their business.
Liu Yunshuang returned home and continued to weave baskets with the willow branches left over from yesterday.
However, this one is different from the previous one, there is no handle.
Also, use a single strand and overlap it a little bit so that there won't be any seams.
"Mom, why is this basket different?"
Xu Zhiqing had already cleaned several of the holes, and two of them were filled with water.
"I'm going to use this to grow onions~"
She patiently explained to her daughter that teaching by example is very important.
"Why not plant it in the ground?"
"Hmm~"
Liu Yunshuang stretched out the word, not knowing how to explain it.
"Well, we have no more space at home, and we are looking for some broken pots and tiles.
Just use this willow twig to weave a base, and it can be used in winter."
It's very cold in winter here.
There were only vegetables stockpiled in autumn and pickled vegetables to eat, and there was basically nothing fresh.
Every household grows a pot of onions.
This is not an isolated case; Xu Zhiqing has also seen it.
"So that's how it is, Mom. Let me help you trim those onions!"
"good!"
I don't know if it was her illusion, but I always felt that after coming out, my eldest daughter liked to stick to her.
I am willing to do anything by her side, just to keep her company.
Xu Zhiqing brought over the bundle of onions and took a small stool.
Sit on the ground and cut off the extra roots and large leaves, leaving only the middle part.
Both mother and daughter were busy, the younger daughter was running around, and even Xu Zhili got out of bed, stood by and talked to everyone.
She seemed to have never been so happy with her children. It seemed that things would be better as long as she left Old Xu's house.
They had breakfast late, so they were not in a hurry for lunch.
Liu Yunshuang finished weaving one and planted some green onions before letting her daughter go wash her hands.
She secretly poured spiritual spring water on it and then got up to cook.
There are still many things to do in the afternoon.
He pulled the cart to collect firewood. Xu Zhiqing really wanted to go with him, but she was afraid that no one would take care of Xu Zhili.
I can only stay at home, but I am not idle.
With the remaining willow branches, she began to weave the bottom of the basket, following her mother's example.
Liu Yunshuang walked quite far this time, and most of the firewood in front of her had been picked up by others, so she had to slowly look for the rest.
