She was born in a place called Zhao in Kuang Kingdom, which was very poor, and the whole village was surnamed Zhao.

She has two sisters above her, three in the family, so she is called Sanniang, and the girls in the same village are almost the same as her, all of them are four aunts, five girls and six sisters, and everyone has a serious name.

Less than two years after Zhao Sanniang was born, two younger brothers were added to the family one after another, which made the already not wealthy family even worse.

At that time, it had been a hundred years since the founding of the Kuang State, the imperial court was decaying, the royal life was extravagant and erosive, the people had difficulty in food and clothing, and the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes were becoming more and more numerous.

When Zhao Sanniang was twelve years old, it coincided with a drought, and it only rained once all summer.

Seeing that the harvest was not good and it was time to pay taxes again, Zhao's father was helpless, so he bought the eldest daughter in the family with tears and scraped together some money.

But then the plague of locusts came.

The locusts crossed the border, and the Zhao family did not even have the thatch left on the roof except for the adobe of the house.

Under the pressure of such a blow and heavy taxes, Zhao's mother was already in a bad body, let alone good!

Zhao's father cried bitterly, but he didn't dare to take out half a silver to ask Zhao's mother for a doctor, and he died of illness within a few days!

Although the Zhao family has two fewer people, when it comes to the autumn tax season, the tax official says that the population has not decreased, and Zhao's father must be hiding people, and Zhao's father will be imprisoned according to the crime of tax evasion.

Zhao's father had no choice but to give his second daughter, who was only thirteen years old, to the tax officer, and only then escaped a catastrophe.

Everyone thought that this matter had finally come to an end, but who knew that this matter was just the beginning.

There is no silver and no food at home, and several mouths in the family are waiting for how to eat.

But Zhao Sanniang is too young, although she is twelve years old, but because of malnutrition, she has not grown at all, and she is dark and small.

Father Zhao wants to sell her, but those secret people in the city don't want it!

He is helpless, but the family always has to live!

Finally, after several days of inquiry, he sold her to a hunter in a village not far from here.

Orion's surname is Zhang, he is not young, he is already thirty years old, he had a wife before, but he died, and left him a ten-year-old son.

When he bought someone, he hadn't seen Zhao Sanniang and didn't know the specific situation.

But when I really saw the real person, I knew that I had been fooled.

Seeing that he couldn't go back, he had to lead the person back to his home.

Looking at his ten-year-old son, half a head taller than Zhao Sanniang, Zhang Orion sighed, obviously he bought his wife, but in the end he became his son's daughter-in-law.

In this era, it is not common to marry at the age of ten, but it is not uncommon, and everyone does not know the reason and does not feel that there is any problem.

Since then, Zhao Sanniang has become Zhang Zhao's family.

Zhang Orion is a very kind person, and he has never been sorry for Zhao Sanniang because he was fooled.

He has a lot of ability, in this era when everyone can't get enough to eat, he relies on the mountains behind him and becomes the only family in the whole village that eats meat all year round.

After Zhao Sanniang got married, her life was very leisurely, she and her sisters used to farm and harvest land and take care of a large family, but now there is no such trouble.

The Zhang family does not have a large population, and she doesn't have much housework to do, plus she eats well and has good nutrition, so she will be tall in a year.

When it was time for spring planting, many people in the village, in order to please Zhang Orion, would take the initiative to help.

The same is true for the autumn harvest.

Four years have passed in a flash, and when Zhao Sanniang was sixteen, she was pregnant with her first child, she was well nourished and healthy, and the original pregnancy was extremely stable.

But who knows, when she was more than seven months pregnant, Zhang Orion died unexpectedly in the mountains.

The pillars of the family suddenly collapsed, making her and her husband Zhang Hu lose their square inches for a while, and as soon as her father-in-law's body was recovered, Zhao Sanniang gave birth to a son early.

Neither of them has ever studied, and this child was born at such a juncture, so he named Dalang perfunctory.

Zhang Orion's death was a big blow to the Zhang family.

The originally kind people in the village suddenly changed their attitudes and changed to a different face.

Zhang Hu was originally an optimistic and free person, but because of this change, he became silent and gloomy overnight.

He has not yet come out of the pain of losing his father, and the people in the village have spread the rumor that Zhang Dalang and Zhao Sanniang are desperate to overcome their relatives.

There are different opinions, and there are noses and eyes!

Zhang Hu heard it a few times, he was so angry that he had two fights with people, and the rumors outside were even more excessive!

He knows the root of the problem, and his family now cultivates the best land and does the least work, all because Zhang Orion takes care of the villagers every year.

Now that Zhang Orion is gone, those things are naturally hot.

Now that his father's bones are not cold, his wife and son are lying at home, although Zhang Hu, who is tall and tall, is only fourteen years old, but in this era, he is already a man!

He didn't want to live such a, and despite Zhao Sanniang's opposition, he resolutely picked up Zhang Orion's line and entered the mountain.

Since then, the pillars of the Zhang family have changed, and life has slowly stabilized again.

When it comes to spring planting and autumn harvest, there are still people who come to help with smiling faces.

Zhang Hu will share the harvest with everyone as in previous years......

In the winter of the second year, Zhang Erlang was born.

After another two years, Zhao Sanniang's youngest daughter was also born.

At this time, the Zhang family has come out of the trough, Zhang Hu loves his little daughter more than his two sons, and all women have no name.

It's a pity that the man who treated her as a jewel finally didn't wait for the day when he raised her as an adult.

Zhang Hu, like Zhang Orion, also died in the mountains when Zhang Baozhu was four years old.

Since then, Zhao Sanniang's hard days have come.

In times like this, there is a reason why sons are favored over women.

Men's productivity is everything in this era, whoever has more men will be hard, there are many men in the Zhang family, but unfortunately the oldest man is only eight years old.

Zhao Sanniang could only grit her teeth to support this family.

The village is far from the county seat, and there is no work to do, so she goes to farm the land herself in the spring and takes it back in the autumn.

The boundary markers in the field have been moved and moved, but no one can call the shots for her.

The taxes are also getting heavier and heavier, and everything that can be exchanged for money at home has been exchanged for money by Zhao Sanniang, just to raise these three children.

She is grateful to the Zhang family and respectful to Zhang Hu.

So no matter how others persuaded her, she never had the idea of throwing away her three children and finding another way out.

Her body was under heavy labor, and it was getting worse day by day.

Sometimes she lay on the straw and wondered if she would be relieved if she died like this!

But every time I think of this, I am afraid that I will see Zhang Hu, and I have no face to explain to him.

She is so strong, supporting her belief that she must raise these three children.

However, Kuang's taxes are getting heavier and heavier, wars are frequent, and neighboring countries are taking the opportunity to make trouble, and under internal and external troubles, Zhangzhuang, which is close to the border of neighboring countries, will inevitably be affected.
