The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

When it was still light in the sky, Xia Mianwan was the first to wake up. Maybe because they had arrived at the post station, everyone was sleeping soundly, and when Xia Mianwan woke up, no one else was awake yet.

Xia Mian went to the restaurant at the post station and spent one tael of silver to buy ten bowls of porridge, ten pancakes and two dishes. Normal restaurants would not be so expensive, but they were prisoners, and they almost accepted the rule that they had to pay extra if they wanted to buy something.

Otherwise, eat the food rationed by the exiles.

After buying the food, Xia Mianwan went to call her family over. They had to eat before everyone woke up, otherwise there would be trouble if the food was not enough and there would be no food.

When they started their journey again, two exiled families also bought donkey carts.

Old Mrs. Zheng thought for a long time and called Xia Mianwan over.

"Mianwan, the old lady of the Zhang family who was exiled with us was very good to me. In this incident, old lady Zhang has passed away, and the master of the Zhang family has not returned with Ting Yan. There are two women and two children in the Zhang family. Madam Zhang and Master Zhang were in love since they were young, but Madam Zhang's family looked down on Master Zhang, so Madam Zhang could almost be said to have broken with her family at that time. I don't think anyone will prepare anything for Madam Zhang during this exile. If possible, it would be great if we could give some appropriate help. The Zhang family has a good family tradition, and this time they are also implicated by us."

Xia Mianwan thought for a while and said, "Grandma, I understand."

Xia Mianwan didn’t know anyone from the Zhang family, so she told Zheng Xiaocheng and asked him to go and take a look at the situation.

After a while, Zheng Xiaocheng came back and told about the Zhang family. Mrs. Zhang and her daughter-in-law were not in good condition, and the two children were still young and could not withstand the stress and caught a cold.

After listening to what Zheng Xiaocheng said, Xia Mianwan already had an idea in her mind.

"Xiaocheng, take me over to have a look." Xia Mianwan said.

"Yes, sister-in-law." Zheng Xiaocheng replied.

Mrs. Zhang and her daughter-in-law Chen's resting place was at the outermost edge. When the summer hibernation night was over, Chen was seen holding her child with a numb face.

Xia Mianwan sighed and lamented the fate that played such a trick on her.

"Mrs. Zhang, my husband is Zheng Xiaoyun. Grandma knows that your situation is difficult, so she asked me to come and see you."

Mrs. Zhang heard the voice, straightened her clothes and stood up, "Good boy, I saw you once when you got married."

At this time, Chen also stood up holding the child and bowed.

Xia Mian went to check on the two children at night and said, "The children should be suffering from a cold. They should feel much better after taking medicine and reducing the high fever."

Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Where can I get medicine at this time?"

Xia Mianwan turned to Madam Zhang and said, "Pack your luggage and come with me. I made some preparations before we set off, and there happens to be medicine in them. It's windy here, and adults can't stand it, let alone children. The two children can't stand the tossing on the road, so let them sit on the donkey cart. As for Madam Zhang and Little Madam Zhang, there is limited space in the donkey cart, so just come with us."

Mrs. Zhang couldn't believe Xia Mianwan would say that, and she was so excited that she wanted to kowtow to express her gratitude. She no longer cared about her own life or death, but the two children were still so young, and she hoped to leave bloodline for the Zhang family no matter what.

Chen was so excited that she burst into tears. After the accident, she was treated coldly by her closest relatives and was powerless to change the situation. She didn't expect that the person who could help them at this time was the Zheng family, whom her husband had the highest hopes for.

Her husband once told her that the old lady of the Zheng family was very strict in managing the household, and all the men in the Zheng family were good and upright. It would be great if she could get closer to the women of the Zheng family.

"Good boy, thank you for your kindness. I'll clean it up right away." Mrs. Zhang said to Xia Mianwan with a firm look in her eyes.

The Zhang family didn't have much luggage, so they packed up in no time.

Xia Mianwan brought the Zhang family to their donkey cart and said, "We will set out soon. Let me take the two brothers with me. I will give them the medicine first. Madam Zhang has hope only if she survives. I hope you can cheer up."

Madam Zhang took her luggage and thanked him. "Don't call me Madam Zhang all the time. I won't be a Madam anymore. How about you just call me Aunt and call my daughter-in-law Sister-in-law?"

Xia Mianwan nodded and said hello.

"Aunt, sister-in-law, please get ready. We will be leaving soon. I will take my two brothers to take their medicine first."

Xia Mianwan first asked Zheng Lingwan to bring out Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er and sit them on both sides of the donkey cart, and then brought the two brothers of the Zhang family into the cart.

Fortunately, the supermarket space in Xia Mian Wan also sells medicine. Although there are not many medicines, there is still Merrill Lynch. There are also Chinese medicine pills prepared by Cui Er, but Chinese medicine is slow to work and it is not easy for children to take it.

After feeding the two brothers their medicine, Xia Mianwan put them down and covered them with small quilts.

Fortunately, the two brothers did not have a contagious cold, otherwise the old lady would not be worried about riding in the car with them. If it is not contagious, there is not much to be afraid of.

Xia Mianwan thought about who would be on the bus later.

Old Mrs. Zheng insisted on riding in the carriage, and with her two brothers, the other female relatives took turns riding in the carriage. Chen Ge'er and Yu Jie'er sat in the driving seat, while Zheng Xiaocheng and Zheng Xiaoqi took turns driving the carriage.

After making the plan, Xia Mianwan got out of the car and told Old Mrs. Zheng about the plan, and Old Mrs. Zheng had no objection.

Judging from her performance along the way, Xia Mianwan has already begun to look like the mistress of the house. Both Old Lady Zheng and Mrs. Zhou are very satisfied.

After everyone had packed up, Zhao Erhu came over and shouted that they were ready to set off.

Seeing that there were two more people on Xia Mianwan's side, Zhao Erhu didn't say much. After carefully checking the number of people, the exile team started to set off again.
