The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

The so-called decent clothes were actually patched up with patches on top of each other. The clothes had turned white and thin due to long-term washing. However, this one had the least patches among Zhao Lishui's clothes.

Before Wang Zhuzi and Zhao Lishui could leave the Zhao family's house, Zhao's mother came out with a basin of water and poured it on them.

He said coldly to Zhao Lishui: "Shuizi, a married girl is like spilled water. Don't go back to your parents' home if you have nothing to do. But don't forget your brother. After all, he is the person closest to you. No one can compare to him."

Zhao's mother disliked Wang Zhuzi's family and thought that the Wang family was too poor, so she didn't want Zhao Lishui to marry into the family.

However, apart from the Wang family, he couldn't find anyone else who could pay him half a penny for the time being, so he had to accept that he was unlucky and accept the Wang family as his relative.

But he still despised the Wang family for being poor, and thought that Zhao Lishui would definitely not be able to provide financial support to her parents' home after marrying into such a poor family.

So he got angry at the two of them and poured a basin of water on them. At the end, he did not forget to tell Zhao Lishui to always remember her brother.

Zhao Lishui was devastated by the basin of water thrown by Zhao's mother, and completely lost her mother-son relationship with her.

She wiped her tears and followed Wang Zhuzi without looking back.

When Zhao Lishui arrived at Wang's house, she realized that not all families treated girls like this.

Zhao Lishui was extremely efficient at Wang's house. As soon as she got off the cart, she rolled up her sleeves and started working.

She was afraid that the Wang family would dislike her and beat her like Zhao's mother did.

Before coming to Wang's house, Zhao's mother told her that she must be diligent and not be lazy when she gets there.

Otherwise, if she angered her parents-in-law, even if they beat her to death, the Zhao family would not come to ask for an explanation.

They would only think that Zhao Lishui had ruined the Zhao family's reputation, and if she made it difficult for Zhao Di to get married, even if the Wang family didn't beat her to death, they would not let Zhao Lishui have an easy time.

First I swept the floor, and then fed the chickens.

After looking around Wang's house, he felt that there was nothing to do, so he wanted to chop the firewood at the kitchen door.

Old Mrs. Wang looked at Zhao Lishui and knew that she must not be used to it now, and she didn't know how to be scared.

In his heart, he cursed Zhao's father and mother for being bastards and what they had done to their own daughter.

Zhao Lishui's current condition is not very good. Because she has been working for a long time and has not eaten enough every day, she looks like she is malnourished.

The clothes he was wearing were in tatters, with patches upon patches, and they didn't fit him well.

Old Lady Wang looked at the clothes Zhao Lishui was wearing and couldn't help but criticize Zhao's mother.

My daughter is getting married today and I didn't ask her to make clothes for her, but I could just make a coat.

What a stingy miser.

After Wang's complaints, she quickly stopped Zhao Lishui who was about to chop wood and said, "Stop, my wife. I've cooked eggs for you in the pot. Zhuge will bring them to you."

After saying that, she walked into the main room. After hearing what Old Lady Wang said, Zhao Lishui did not stop and followed Old Lady Wang in.

At that time, the family was poor, so there was no wedding banquet. It was enough for the relatives to just have a meal together.

The Wang family is even simpler; they are outsiders in Lotus Village.

As long as the family has a meal together, that's enough. Life is hard for everyone these days, and that's what everyone does.

Zhao Lishui followed Old Lady Wang into the main room and sat down on a small stool stiffly.

Old Mrs. Wang looked at Zhao Lishui's cautious expression and said nothing.

Afraid that she couldn't feel at ease here, Zhao Lishui turned around and walked out.

He walked into the kitchen and said to Wang Zhuzi who was serving rice: "Zhuzi, wait until your wife finishes her meal, then take her into the house and don't let her work."

Wang Zhuzi nodded and went to the main room with the bowl.

He put the bowl in Zhao Lishui's hand, then blinked and looked at Zhao Lishui.

"Eat quickly, this is what our mother made especially for you." After saying this, he looked at the eggs in the bowl reluctantly.

Zhao Lishui looked at the brown sugar eggs in the bowl. The two round, white and tender eggs were shaking slightly in the coarse porcelain bowl.

It also has a hint of brown sugar.

Zhao Lishui asked Wang Zhuzi in disbelief: "Is this really for me to eat?"

You should know that in the Zhao family, eggs are given to her younger brother and never to Zhao Lishui.

In the words of Zhao's mother: It's lucky for a little girl to be alive, how can she afford to eat such precious things.

Therefore, Zhao Lishui had never eaten eggs, except when she was a child, she couldn't help but pick up the eggshell thrown on the ground by Zhao's younger brother and ate it.

As a child, Zhao Lishui was terrified, fearing that she would be seen by her mother and beaten.

"Yes, I'm giving it to you. But there's nothing good in my house, so I can only give you an egg."

Zhao Lishui looked at Wang Zhuzi with emotion and slowly took a small bite of the egg.

After eating one, he said he was full. Wang Zhuzi took the bowl and ate the remaining egg.

Zhao Lishui was left looking at Wang Zhuzi with a blushing face.

After eating the eggs, Wang Zhuzi brought Zhao Lishui into their new home, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhuzi touched Zhao Lishui's head distressedly and promised Zhao Lishui gently:

"When we have money in the future, I will buy you sweet-scented osmanthus cake every day. Not only sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but also meat, so that you can eat as much as you want every day."

In Wang Zhuzi's limited vision, being able to eat snacks and meat every day is a great life.

When Zhao Lishui heard Wang Zhuzi's words, he did not laugh at him. Instead, he looked at Wang Zhuzi with trust, nodded heavily and said:

"Well, I believe Brother Zhuzi will become more and more wealthy in the future."

The two of them imagined how they would spend their money in the future, and then fell asleep laughing together.

After Zhao Lishui married into the Wang family, although the family was still poor, Old Lady Wang would still say some harsh words to her.

But he never treated Zhao Lishui unfairly, and would never do what Zhao's mother did.

Zhao Lishui also became more and more cheerful.

Wang Zhuzi touched Zhao Lishui's head with heartache when he heard what she said, and promised Zhao Lishui gently: "When we have money in the future, I will buy you sweet-scented osmanthus cake every day. Not only sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but also meat, so that you can eat as much as you want every day."

Now that we have money, our family will no longer lack food and clothing.

Turning the osmanthus cake into an osmanthus-shaped bracelet can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Zhao Lishui.

Thinking of this, his hands that were rubbing the osmanthus patterns stopped, and he put away his divergent thoughts and asked the shopkeeper to wrap it for him to make it look better.

The shopkeeper took out an exquisite box and put the bracelet in it.

Seeing Wang Zhuzi, he asked, "Is this a gift for your wife? There aren't many people who love their wives as much as you do. Your wife must be very touched when she sees this bracelet."

Wang Zhuzi nodded and said honestly, "I think she will like this."
