Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

While they were enjoying their meal, the atmosphere at Mr. Zheng's house was not so good.

The second brother’s land was almost harvested, but their land had not been touched at all.

"Dad, when will we harvest our land?" Ma Meihua asked her husband.

Zheng Xinghe ate his food and glanced at Ma Meihua, "If you were more diligent, the land would have been harvested long ago."

Ma Meihua refused to do it when she heard this. "What do you mean I should be more diligent? You are a grown man, how can you expect me to work in the fields if you don't?"

Zheng Xinghe put the chopsticks in his hand on the table with a bang, "Isn't the second son's wife also a woman? She can do it, why can't you?"

Ma Meihua was not to be outdone, "Isn't it because the second child's legs are lame and he can't go to the fields? Normally, the second child goes to the fields to harvest crops every time!"

Zheng Xinghe frowned impatiently, "What about three acres of land? Can I harvest all of it by myself?"

"Why can't we collect all the garbage? Don't we still have our parents Chunhua and those two damn girls to help? Why can they help the second brother's family but not ours?"

"Oh, then go ask dad and see if he will help you collect it. Haven't you noticed since the family split? The old couple are resentful of us. Now their hearts are all on the second son's family.

If it weren't for the fact that I'm the eldest son, they would most like to split our family up, and you'd still dream of getting them to help you."

Zheng Xinghe felt angry when he mentioned his parents. He was the eldest son, and they would have to rely on him for their old age. Could they really rely on that disabled person?

But my parents just couldn't understand why they treated a disabled person as a treasure.

Humph, let’s see if they can rely on that family when they get old.

Of course Ma Meihua also knew that the two old guys looked down on her. If they looked down on her, then so be it. She didn’t care.

"Forget it. I can't count on them. How about I go back and ask my brother from my mother's family to come and help me collect the food?"

When Zheng Xinghe heard her mention her parents' home, his face turned even worse.

"As for your two idle brothers, what can they do here?"

Ma Meihua was unhappy, "What's wrong with my brother? He's better than the people in your family."

Zheng Xinghe sneered, "Forget it, those two are lazy and cunning, and the food I have is not enough for them to feed me. Well, I'll go out for a walk tomorrow, and at worst I can hire a few people to come back and collect the food."

Ma Meihua curled her lips and stopped talking. Anyway, she didn't have to do any work.

Zheng Xinghe felt annoyed when he looked at her. He got up and left the yard without eating.

In the end, his family spent money to hire someone to harvest the grain from the three acres of land.

Old man Zheng was so angry that he kept scolding the eldest brother's family for being a spendthrift. Do you think anyone in the village would need to hire people to harvest these few acres of land?

But they said it was no use, since they didn't spend their money anyway, so they could do whatever they wanted.

At that time, Zheng Xiaoman's three acres of land had been harvested long ago and the wheat seeds had been sown.

Their yard is now filled with grain, which is all left over after paying the grain tax.

These grains will have to be eaten until the new grain arrives in July next year. Every year, the family has to eat frugally in the last month to survive until the new grain arrives.

After dinner in the evening, Zheng Qingming sat on a small stool, cutting bamboo strips with a knife in his hand.

He placed all the bamboo strips he had cut in front of his father. Zheng Dashan sat on the edge of the kang, and with the light from the window, he nimbly weaved a bamboo basket with his fingers.

Zheng Xiaoman has been in this world for more than two months. Every day, she gives spiritual spring water to her whole family, and her father drinks two more cups every day than others.

After two months, the health of my family members had obviously improved.

The pain at the broken part of Zheng Dashan's leg isn't as severe anymore. He can now use crutches to walk around a bit, as long as he doesn't touch his injured leg.

Doctor Sun also came to check his leg and was amazed at his recovery.

He also said that judging from the current situation, his leg could still be cured.

This is undoubtedly great news for their family.

Ever since he knew there was hope for his leg to be healed, Zheng Dashan’s whole spirit and energy has changed.

Now he goes to the yard to exercise every morning, and spends the rest of the time weaving bamboo baskets and making some small gadgets.

When there is a market in the town, you can take it to the market and sell it.

After a big market, you can earn more than ten cents.

Zheng Xiaoman moved a small stool and sat next to her brother, "Brother, let's go to the mountains tomorrow."

Zheng Xiaoman has long wanted to go for a walk in the mountains. Now that the whole family is free, she wants her brother to take her for a walk in the mountains.

With such a big mountain, there must be a lot of food to eat.

Zheng Qingming kept moving his hands, "Okay, I just want to go get some more pig grass. But we can't go deep into the mountains, it's too dangerous."

As he said this he looked up at his sister's face.

Zheng Xiaoman nodded obediently, "I understand, brother, let's not go inside."

Zheng Qingming touched his sister's head lovingly, and Zheng Xiaoman raised her head and smiled at him.

Thinking about going into the mountains early the next morning, she went to bed early at night.

After getting up in the morning and feeling the temperature outside, Zheng Xiaoman took out another coat from the kang cabinet and put it on outside.

After breakfast, the brother and sister carried the basket and went to the back mountain. When they passed by the river, they put the basket into the river.

Wait until they come back and bring the basket up.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Zheng Qingming took out a hemp rope to help his sister tie her trouser legs tightly, and then he took her hand and walked up the mountain.

Usually when Zheng Xiaoman came here alone, he would only walk up a few hundred meters at most. This was the first time he walked deep into the forest.

The higher you go up the mountain, the more lush the trees become and the temperature drops a bit.

Because few people come here, the small paths on the mountain are overgrown with weeds.

Zheng Qingming was holding a long stick in his hand and knocking on the grass as he walked.

Zheng Xiaoman was walking forward with her brother holding her hand. She didn't look at the road at the back and kept looking around.

After walking for more than an hour, Zheng Xiaoman was too tired to move forward.

"Brother, let's sit down and rest for a while."

She panted and found an empty space and sat down. Zheng Qingming walked over and sat down beside her.

He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head, took out a bamboo tube from his backpack and handed it to his sister.

Zheng Xiaoman took the bamboo tube, opened it and took a big sip of water, then he felt better.

She raised her head and looked towards the mountain. "Brother, how high do you think this mountain is?"

Zheng Qingming shook his head. "I don't know. I heard from the villagers that there is a higher mountain behind this mountain. But it's too dangerous over there. People from the surrounding villages rarely go there."

"Brother, let's not climb up, let's just walk around here first."

Zheng Xiaoman just didn't want to climb any higher because his legs were too sore.

"Okay, I see there's a bamboo forest over there. You sit here and rest for a while. I'll go see if there are any bamboo shoots."

Zheng Xiaoman waved at him and said, "Brother, go ahead. I'll wait for you nearby."
