The ceremony was finally over. Li Chunhua helped her mother back home, but was pushed to the ground. "You useless thing, why didn't you speak up for me at the time? What are you doing back home? You are such a disgrace."

Niujia Village.

"Ah, ghost~"

When the children playing at the entrance of Niujia Village saw Niu Xiaoni coming back, they ran away.

The four were about to enter the house when they saw the eldest son's wife sweeping the yard with a broom across the low wall outside the yard.

"Aunt~" Niu Xiaoni had no strength left, but she still called out softly. The eldest daughter-in-law answered subconsciously without even raising her head.

He reacted and realized something was wrong. Today was the day of Nier's funeral, so how could he hear her voice? Could it be haunted? He threw down his broom and ran into the house, even losing one of his shoes.

Seeing this scene, the old lady couldn't help cursing, "What are you running for, you useless thing? Your niece is back."

The eldest son’s wife was even more terrified. How come even her mother-in-law seemed a little abnormal? Was she possessed by a ghost?

Niu Laosan and Yan Zi immediately entered the yard and saw Niu Xiaoni in Laosan’s arms. They couldn’t believe the scene before them.

"Aunt~" Xiao Ni called out again in a low voice.

The eldest daughter-in-law jumped on one foot, trying to reach the dropped shoes, but was kicked by the old lady. She quickly put them on and walked forward to check.

"Really... Ni'er?"

There was a look of great fear in his eyes. He had never heard that the dead could be resurrected.

"Sister-in-law, Ni'er is alive. If you don't believe me, come and touch her. She's still warm." Zhang Niu patted Ni'er's hand that was hanging on the third brother's arm.

The eldest son's wife pinched the corner of her clothes, swallowed her saliva, moved forward, and held the small and warm hand while trembling.

"It's a living person, it's a living person~"

Seeing that Ni'er was still alive, the eldest son's wife felt mixed emotions. This child was really unlucky. Even the God of Hell wouldn't take her away. Would she be in trouble? However, if she was to be killed first, it should be someone who was related to her by blood. She should let her children play less with her in the future.

Thinking of this, his eyes instantly turned colder.

Lijia Village and Niujia Village are not far apart. The news of this incident spread quickly. Suddenly, many people came to the door of Niu Xiaoni's house to watch the fun. They all wanted to know if there was anything special about this person who came back to life.

Old Mrs. Niu was annoyed by the chattering of the group of people. She picked up a basin of dirty water and walked out of the door, "Make way, make way."

After splashing a few times, the crowd dispersed tactfully, as no one wanted to get involved with this crazy woman.

"Dad~ I'm hungry~"

Niu Xiaoni hasn't had a good meal for a long time since she hit her head. The bowl of water she drank recently turned out to be the poison that cost her life.

Before, when I cried out for hunger, the old lady would just tell me to be patient, but if she was in a bad mood, I might even scold her.

The family was extremely poor and there was not much delicious food. Any food that was available would be left to the older brothers, leaving no room for even the younger brother.

People in the village only eat two meals a day. It is just past noon and there is still some time before the next meal. Niu Xiaoni, who has not eaten for a long time, feels that this is not a good way to go and must eat something to fill her stomach.

Niu Laosan frowned. The family's food was managed by his mother, so there was basically no possibility of cooking for herself.

But he loved his daughter so much that he didn't care about that. Ni'er had hit her head and bled so much before, so she really needed a good rest.

But now is the time when there is a shortage of food and people have to tighten their belts. No household has any surplus food, and it is really difficult to ask my mother to give us some food.

Taking a deep breath, "Mom, Ni'er is hungry, can you..."

Before he finished speaking, the old lady glared at him, "There is no extra food at home. It would be a waste of my firewood to cook for the unlucky star. Wait for dinner. It won't be here soon."

Niu Laosan was usually a man who could not do anything. He had already exhausted all his courage to ask his mother for help, but he did not expect to be rejected. He carried the firewood for his family back from the mountain in bundles. Thinking of this, he did not move his feet and stared at the old lady, "Mom, I will go to the mountain to carry two more bundles of firewood later, so that there will be no waste of firewood."

Niu Xiaoni was so hungry that she tried her best to make tears well up in her eyes. She looked pitiful and said, "Grandma, I'm really hungry. Please give me something to eat."

The old lady had never seen such an expression in Niu Laosan and Niu Xiaoni's eyes before. As long as she gave the order, they would definitely stop pestering her. Now she felt a little flustered.

He gritted his teeth, walked into the inner room, took out the key tied to his waistband, opened the cabinet where the grain was kept, scooped out a small half bowl of corn, glanced outside the house, and poured most of it back.

After closing the cabinet door, he walked up to the group, holding what looked like a mouthful of corn, and said, "That's all we have. The little girl hasn't eaten for a long time, so she can't eat too much, otherwise her stomach will get hurt. Let's use it to make porridge."

The third daughter-in-law took the bowl and sighed in her heart, "Thank you, mother~"

"Yanzi, you're not feeling well either. You need to get more rest. Go back to the room with Ni'er and rest. I'll go make the porridge."

Niu Laosan put Ni'er down, took the bowl, and went into the kitchen.

Yan Zi and Ni Er followed in, "Let me do it. It's not hard to make porridge. You still need to collect firewood. Come back soon."

After a while, steam began to come out of the stove.

When Nier smelled the aroma of the porridge, her stomach growled. She kept her eyes on the pot and licked her lips from time to time.

Looking at Ni'er's greedy look, Yan Zi's eyes were filled with warm love, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "It's almost done."

I opened the lid of the pot and saw the bubbling porridge, which looked very tempting. I poured the porridge into a bowl, blew on it to cool it down a little bit, and then fed it into Xiaoni's mouth.

"tasty?"

Niu Xiaoni drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and felt her body gradually warm up. Her stomach also felt much better. She raised her head and looked at her mother with bright eyes. This long-lost scene gave her an unreal feeling. The corners of her mouth curled up and she opened her mouth, revealing a few missing front teeth. "It tastes good~"

After drinking the porridge, the two cleaned up the kitchen and went back to their room to rest. Niu Xiaoni fell asleep quickly. Zhang Niu carefully looked at her lost daughter, but was interrupted by the old lady's curse.

"In this family, one or two people don't work. They just lie down on the bed after dinner. Are they human or pig? They rely on their pregnancy to not work. Who hasn't been pregnant before? Only you are precious."

Yan Zi got up from the bed quickly to avoid waking Ni Er, and walked to the door of the old lady's house next door, "Mom, I'm going to the mountain to see if the third child has finished collecting firewood, and pick up some mushrooms by the way."

The cursing stopped.

Niu Xiaoni was disturbed by the noise and couldn't sleep well. She heard a few words in a daze and thought that this kind of life of living under someone else's roof should end as soon as possible. She turned over and fell asleep.
