After Zhang Yanli left, Zhao Lihua breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Zhang Yanli came, her stomach was empty and her stomach was burning badly.

Zhao Lihua felt that she was starving to death.

She wanted to die, but she didn't want to starve to death, starving to death was too uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhao Lihua had long since lost Du Yaozu in her heart, and she no longer wanted to carry on the family lineage for the Du family.

Du Yaozu is a fool, what does he know?

Zhang Yanli abused Zhao Lihua all day long, and he saw it many times, but he only took one look, then turned his head and left, never showing his head for Zhao Lihua once.

Zhao Lihua turned from the initial expectation to the current despair.

She knew that her grandson was a fool who didn't understand anything.

But Zhao Lihua regarded Du Yaozu as a pain in the eye since she was a child. Now that she is being abused, she also hopes that her beloved grandson can support her.

No.

What did she get for half her life?

Lying on the cold bed, Zhao Lihua thought, it would be great if there was an afterlife!

Sitting on the kang, Du Xiaoxue, who was bored and in a daze, saw Zhang Yanli came back, and asked, "The old thing isn't dead, is it?"

Zhang Yanli sneered, "You're living well!"

Du Xiaoxue nodded and said, "I think that old thing is dying too."

"Good thing," Zhang Yanli put the bowl on the table, and then sat on the kang, it was too cold outside.

"This old thing is dead, and we can live a more relaxed life," Zhang Yanli couldn't help laughing when she thought of Zhao Lihua's dog-like appearance just now.

"That old man is skinny all over," Zhang Yanli said cheerfully, "I'm afraid he won't survive this year."

"Well," Du Xiaoxue agreed, and then said, "But aren't we going to ask Du Ruo for money tomorrow?"

"That old thing is still useful."

"Don't worry," Zhang Yanli was full of confidence, "It should be fine in a month or two."

Du Xiaoxue felt relieved, "That's good."

As long as it doesn't delay them asking for money, it's fine.

Although it was New Year's Eve tonight, except for the sound of firecrackers at the beginning, there was silence outside.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Du Ruo started to yawn. Recently, she went to bed early at night.

Wang Hongxia smiled and said, "Sleep if you want to sleep, no need to stay up."

Du Ruo nodded with a smile, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Wang Hongxia, "Mom, you should sleep too, don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"

Wang Hongxia nodded, "I made hot water, let's warm our feet before going to bed, it will be comfortable."

Du Ruo responded, "Okay."

The next morning, Wang Hongxia woke up at four o'clock in the morning, and someone had already started setting off firecrackers outside.

After Wang Hongxia got up, she patted Du Ruo, "Get up quickly, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings."

Du Ruo opened his eyes in a daze, and lay on the bed in a daze for a while before getting up and getting dressed.

After washing up, Wang Hongxia opened the door and took Du Ruo out to pay New Year's greetings.

The first family to go was Wang Hongxia's elder brother and Du Ruo's uncle Wang Dalong's.

Du Ruo hasn't been to her uncle Wang Dalong's house for so long since she came back.

The reason is also very simple, naturally the relationship between the two is not very good.

Back then, after Du Weimin and Wang Hongxia divorced, Wang Dalong, the older brother, not only did not support his sister, but instead blamed Wang Hongxia for being useless, unable to grasp a man's heart, and being a waste.

After marriage, she was loyal to her husband and responsible for the family. Du Weimin didn't have to do anything except go to work every day, and Wang Hongxia did all the housework.

What did Wang Hongxia do wrong?
Wang Hongxia's mistake was that she was born in a rural area, and she didn't have the opportunity to get a good education, and she couldn't satisfy Du Weimin's vanity.

But Wang Dalong kept blaming Wang Hongxia for the reason for their divorce, thinking that Wang Hongxia must have done something that made Du Weimin unhappy, so Du Weimin couldn't bear to divorce Wang Hongxia.

Typical victim blaming theory!

Wang Dalong is a man, men naturally have more empathy with men!
When Wang Hongxia first divorced, she took Du Ruo to live with her natal family. Every day, Wang Dalong's nose was not his nose, and his eyes were not his eyes.

Wang Hongxia was afraid that her natal family would think she was redundant, so she had already taken over all the housework from the Wang family. After finishing the housework, she would go to the fields to earn work points.

Just like this, Wang Dalong still wanted to drive Wang Hongxia out, thinking that Wang Hongxia would be ashamed to go out when she stayed at home.

After all, Wang Hongxia was the first woman in the village to divorce her husband.

How can a decent woman divorce her husband?
There must be something wrong with this woman.

Wang Hongxia's mother passed away early, when she just got divorced, if her father didn't agree, Wang Dalong wouldn't let her enter the Wang family's gate!

It's a pity that although Du Ruo's grandfather felt pity for Wang Hongxia's daughter, he still couldn't stand up to the rumors from the villagers.

Gradually, she also felt that Wang Hongxia was living at home and had lost the Wang family.

Therefore, when Wang Dalong drove Wang Hongxia out of the house, Du Ruo's grandfather did not stop him.

Wang Hongxia is also stubborn. She found the village party secretary and allocated a house site. With the help of Du Ruo's grandfather and some villagers, she built a few adobe houses, and dragged Du Ruo to grow up by herself.

A few years ago, after Du Ruo's grandfather passed away, Wang Hongxia had no contact with the Wang family except to kowtow to her parents' tablets during the Chinese New Year.

Wang Hongxia took Du Ruo to the gate of Wang's house. The gate of Wang's house was open, and someone just came out from inside.

Wang Hongxia greeted the villagers with a smile and paid New Year's greetings, and then took Du Ruo into the main room.

There is a table in the center of the main room, and on the table are the tablets of Wang Hongxia's parents.

Three incense sticks and two candles are lit in front of the tablet.

Da Wanglong and his daughter-in-law Duan Yingchun were standing at the door of the main room, looking coldly at Du Ruo's mother and daughter.

Duan Yingchun pulled the little boy in his hand, this little boy should be Wang Xiaowei, Wang Dalong's grandson, who is seven years old this year.

At this time, Wang Xiaowei was mischievously spitting at them.

Du Ruo hurriedly pulled Wang Hongxia to stand back.

"Brother," Wang Hongxia looked at Wang Dalong expressionlessly, "I'll kowtow to my parents."

"No need," Wang Dalong looked at Wang Hongxia and Du Ruo with disgust and disgust.

Wang Hongxia suppressed her anger and asked, "Why?"

"You still have the face to ask why?" Wang Dalong glared at Wang Hongxia, "Before you committed a crime and were arrested, you are a tainted person, how can a person like you enter the gate of my Wang family?"

Duan Yingchun stood aside and didn't speak, she was a bit cowardly, and Wang Dalong was always the head of the family.

Wang Hongxia tried to defend herself, "I was just deceived, and I didn't make a mistake on purpose."

"I don't care," Wang Dalong snorted coldly, "If you make a mistake, it's a mistake!"

Du Ruo took Wang Hongxia's hand, "Mom, let's go."

Wang Hongxia froze for a moment, then turned around and left with Du Ruo.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Wang Dalong flashed a smug look on his face, and shouted behind the two, "You are not welcome in the Wang family, if you dare to enter the gate of my Wang family in the future, be careful that I will break your dog legs!"

Du Ruo paused, stood still, turned around, and looked at Wang Dalong with a smile, "Our legs are dog legs, but your legs are human legs?"

Seeing that Wang Dalong's complexion instantly became ugly, Du Ruo happily pulled Wang Hongxia away.

After leaving Wang's house, Du Ruo was trying to comfort Wang Hongxia, but she didn't expect Wang Hongxia to take the initiative to say, "If you don't let me in, I won't go in. Let's go to the next house."

Du Ruo froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Then, their mother and daughter went to relatives in the village to kowtow to their elders.

Many people would stuff peanuts and candy into Du Ruo's hands when they saw Du Ruo.

After they walked around the village, Du Ruo's pockets were already stuffed with peanuts, melon seeds, sugar balls, etc., and the sky was about to dawn.

After returning home, Wang Hongxia asked Du Ruo to catch up on sleep while she went to cook.

It was true that Du Ruo hadn't had enough sleep, so he went back to his room and continued to sleep.

Wang Hongxia adjusted the stuffing and was ready to make dumplings.

The next day, Zhang Yanli and Du Xiaoxue got up early in the morning.

Zhang Yanli also called Du Yaozu up, dressed Du Yaozu, and washed his face.

For breakfast made by Du Xiaoxue, she only drank two bowls of wild vegetable porridge all day yesterday.

There are not many dried cornmeal and wild vegetables. In order to save food, their family eats two meals a day.

Now that I am so hungry, when Du Xiaoxue cooks the porridge, he puts more cornmeal, hoping to make the porridge even better.

Thicker and more filling.

When eating breakfast, Zhang Yanli saw that the porridge was getting thicker, so she cursed unhappily, "You prodigal girl."

After the porridge settled, the porridge below became thicker, so Zhang Yanli scooped half a bowl of porridge from the top for Du Xiaoxue.

He also scooped up half a bowl of porridge for himself, and a big bowl of thick porridge for Du Yaozu.

After scooping up three bowls of porridge, there was only a little left in the pot, which was for Zhao Lihua to eat.

There was only a little porridge left, and Zhang Yanli would definitely have to add water to it when serving it to Zhao Lihua.

After eating three full, Zhao Lihua was fed another bowl of porridge mixed with cold water.

The three of them went to the next door to Daliu Village together.

Daliu Village is very close to Xiaoliu Village, only a few miles away. After walking for more than half an hour, Du Xiaoxue saw the shadow of Daliu Village.

Daliu Village has a larger population than Xiaoliu Village. They came earlier, standing at the entrance of the village, they could still see the faint smoke rising from the village, presumably someone was cooking.

Zhang Yanli and Du Xiaoxue looked at each other, took a deep breath, and entered Daliu Village.
