Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

When Zhao heard Jiang Luorou's question, she frowned with a hint of pity.

He sighed softly and said, "Speaking of Huniu's mother, Li Zhou, she is really a pitiful person.

Li Zhou's husband was not liked by her mother-in-law and was very dissatisfied with her.

Fortunately, Li Zhou's embroidery skills are outstanding, and they were famous in our Qiyang County back then.

At the end of January, the embroidery work continued, and naturally a lot of money was made.

The one who can make money is the uncle. Even if the mother-in-law doesn't like it, she still has to be the ancestor.

Li Zhou and her husband were very loving and soon became pregnant.

Not long after, a girl was born, who is now Huniu, and four years later, a boy was born, named Tuanbao.

When Jiang Luorou heard this, she became even more puzzled and added, "Isn't it nice to have children and a loving couple?"

Sister-in-law Li answered: "Who wouldn't envy his family's life at that time, but the good times did not last long.

Three years later, the Tatars repeatedly invaded our border. The court could not bear it anymore and started to fight.

There was no chance of death in this war, and within a few months the imperial court began to order conscription.

It was required that every household must provide one strong laborer to serve as a soldier. Naturally, Li Zhou's mother-in-law was reluctant to let her favorite children go to the army.

He cried, made trouble, and hanged himself at home, forcing Li Zhou's husband to join the army.

In the end, Li Zhou's husband couldn't resist his mother and could only reluctantly join the army.

Not long after, news came from the border that Li Zhou's husband had died in the battle, and the court sent him 36 shi of rice as a pension and left.

Li Zhou was so furious after hearing the evil shouts that she vomited out a large mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground. It took her several months to recover from her illness.

Mrs. Li Zhou has been struggling for her two children, but the hemp rope is cut at the smallest point, and bad luck only seeks out the poor.

Two years later, her youngest son Tuan Bao suddenly suffered from a high fever that wouldn't go away. Even after seeing all the doctors in the county, there was still no improvement.

It didn't take long for the cute little Tuanbao to die in Mrs. Li Zhou's arms.

Ms. Li Zhou lost her husband and experienced the pain of losing her son. The successive blows left her with no hope.

After a serious illness, my brain became increasingly dull and stupid.

Li Zhou's mother-in-law didn't like her daughter-in-law at first, but because of her embroidery skills, she gave her a thumbs up in everything.

Now that Li Zhou can no longer embroider, there is no need to keep it.

Even when Todoroki drove the mother and daughter out of the house, the village chief really couldn't bear to see the mother and daughter homeless.

They gathered the villagers to discuss giving the unowned thatched house at the west end of the village to the two of them.

Li Zhou and Huniu settled down in that small hut. "

Seeing Sister-in-law Li stop talking, Jiang Luorou asked again: "Then how can they live in thatched huts without fields?"

At this time, Mrs. Zhang Liu said: "I know about this. Poor Huniu was only 10 years old at that time and had to take care of her stupid mother. Naturally, she disagreed.

Fortunately, it was the summer harvest time when they were kicked out, and every family had at least six or seven acres of wheat to harvest.

Huniu is diligent and powerful, so many people ask her to help their families harvest wheat.

She was given five kilograms of wheat per acre of land as a reward, and she could always accumulate a hundred kilograms of grain after harvesting in one summer.

After the summer harvest, Huniu had nothing to do and looked gloomy.

It was one of her grandfathers who saw him as pitiful, the old man Li who drove the bullock cart.

Old Man Li told her that if she didn't have enough strength, she would go to the mountain to chop wood.

When I have saved enough for a car, I will go find grandpa.

Grandpa took you with him to the county town to sell firewood, so as to support the family.

In this way, Huniu helped the villagers harvest some wheat and corn when farming was busy.

Two hundred kilograms of grain a year can be exchanged for fine chaff, coarse grains to satisfy the hunger, and more than ten pennies from buying firewood can be used for my mother's medical treatment and medicine.

The days have passed day by day until now. I said, sister-in-law, if you think this tiger girl is doing a good job, give her a way to live. "

Jiang Luorou nodded with satisfaction and said, "This kid Huniu is quick at work and has a filial heart. Of course I like her."

While talking, Huniu came to the kitchen with a clean basin and put it away.

After everyone saw Huniu coming back, they all took their places and started working in the afternoon.

Unknowingly, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and Jiang Luorou ordered a few people to stop.

One person picked up a cotton bag and filtered the ground potato pulp water.

Finally, before the sun went down, I finished filtering today’s potato pulp water.

Jiang Luorou called a few people into the house to rest for a while, while he went to the bedroom to prepare the wages for several people.

After handing over the wages to several people, Jiang Luorou looked at Huniu with a worried look on her face.

Smiling slightly, she said kindly to Huniu: "You work very quickly. I'm very satisfied. Let's continue working tomorrow."

After Huniu heard what Jiang Luorou said, her mood fluctuated like a roller coaster.

But the ending was good, so I thought that this would be another way for me to make money, so I could buy better medicine to treat my mother's illness.

Thinking of this, Hu Niu excitedly said to Jiang Luorou: "Thank you, Auntie, I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."

After receiving their wages, several people rushed home happily.

After a few people walked away, Jiang Luorou began to think about how to help Hu Niu and make their lives easier.

With this thought, the day passed quietly.

Since there were so many potatoes obtained this time, several people worked hard for three days to grind all the potatoes into potato powder.

On the afternoon of the third day, several people ground the last batch of potatoes. After Jiang Luorou paid several people their wages as usual.

Jiang Luorou said to Huniu in a homely manner: "I heard that you often go up the mountain to cut firewood and sell it in the city, right?"

Huniu asked in confusion: "I will go to the mountains to cut firewood to support my family. Auntie, why are you asking about this?"

Jiang Luorou said to Huniu in a gentle voice: "I have set up a food stall in the county town, and I need a lot of firewood throughout the day.

But I am so busy today that I really don’t have time to go to the mountains to cut firewood, so I just thought that you would go to the mountains to cut firewood and sell it.

Why don't you sell me the firewood? What do you think of 7 cents for a bundle of firewood? "

Huniu waved her hand and said honestly, "Auntie, 7 cents is too much, just 5 cents."

Jiang Luorou shook her head dissatisfied and said, "Fifteen cents is a little short, so I'll just give you six cents, that's it."

What do you think about sending me a bundle of firewood every afternoon from tomorrow onwards, one bundle a day? "

Huniu said with a grateful face: "I will deliver firewood on time from now on. Auntie, you are so kind."

After a few chats, they all dispersed.

Jiang Luorou's family had dinner early.

Jiang Luorou had just finished her period and felt a faint fishy smell emanating from her whole body.

This made her feel uncomfortable all over, so she boiled three large pots of water in the kitchen.

Afterwards, a pot of burning charcoal was placed in several people's rooms, leaving a slight gap in the windows.

Then he brought a bathtub, adjusted the water temperature, and pressed the bouncing Ning Ziqing into it.

The sound of rushing water and Ning Ziqing's play suddenly sounded in the kitchen.

About half an hour later, Jiang Luorou took out a small mattress, wrapped it up, and sent it to her bedroom.

Then he put in a basin of clean bath water and called Zicheng, and Zimo and he started taking a bath.

Not long after, two wet children ran out of the kitchen and swooped into their room.

After settling the children, Jiang Luo took a hot bath in the kitchen.

The day passed quietly like this.

In a blink of an eye, the next day came and I had just eaten breakfast.

Jiang Luorou planned to go for a walk in the mountains to stretch his muscles.

I saw a carriage approaching not far away.
