Chapter 67: The Ancient Peasant Girl 17
Meng Changjin had already decided that the money would depend on selling recipes, but she didn't go now.
Now there is food, meat, eggs at home, and green vegetables in the private field, and there is nothing missing.
And she still has a dozen taels of silver on her now, so she doesn't need to be overly anxious about selling recipes.
……
On the thatched hut at the head of the village, everyone in the Yu family who rushed all the way sat on the ground, paralyzed, everyone gasped, and there was still a look of fear on their faces for the rest of their lives.
Mrs. Yu is now extremely glad that she chose to move out, it is simply terrible.
If you continue to stay there, something will happen sooner or later.
After the people of the Yu family, who were paralyzed or sitting on the ground, finally calmed down their violently beating hearts, the sound of hunger cooing sounded one after another.
"Grandma, when can I eat, Xiaosi is so hungry." Yu Xiaosi, one of the three twins, touched his hungry stomach and looked at Mrs. Yu.
I was already very hungry, but I ran all the way from the end of the village to the head of the village, and I consumed a lot of physical strength, and I was completely hungry at this time.
Mrs. Yu was also hungry, and when she heard her grandson ask, she set her eyes on her eldest daughter-in-law, Yu Zhao, and her third daughter-in-law, Yu Liu.
Yu Zhao and Yu Liu were also hungry, but it seemed that only the two of them could cook.
It is impossible for Yu Jiaojiao to do it, let alone Mrs. Yu, as for Yu Li, because Yu Lao's second leg is broken, she has been taking care of Yu Er, and she can't be expected to do it at this time, Yu Laozi, Yu Lao, Yu Laosan, and Yu Dashan, the eldest grandson of the Yu family, it is even more impossible.
The two reluctantly got up from the ground and walked into the thatched hut.
The thatched hut has not been inhabited for more than a year or nearly two years, weeds have grown in the house, and the pot on the stove in the stove room has rusted because it has not been used for a long time.
I checked around again, but there was no firewood.
The two glanced at each other, and Yu Zhao looked outside: "Mother, there is nothing here, the pot is rusty, there is no firewood, there is no food, we can't do it." ”
Originally, when they left, they wanted to get pots and pans and food from the kitchen, but they were so frightened that they rushed out without caring about anything, and they didn't bring anything and didn't say anything, and they didn't take any food with them.
There is a saying that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, not to mention that the two of them don't want to do it in the first place, this is a ready-made excuse, don't use it in vain.
But they avoided cooking, and had to face a real problem, that is, they wanted food or not, pots and pans, and even firewood, how could they live!
Old lady Yu frowned when she heard Yu Zhao say this.
But how to say that the old lady Yu has also lived for decades, and she quickly arranged it.
"The eldest and third, and the mountains, you go and pick up some firewood and come back, and the eldest daughter-in-law, you go to the Liu family next to you to borrow some food." Old lady Yu arranged it.
Although the three people who were arranged to collect firewood complained about letting them go hungry to collect firewood, they also knew that the problem now was that they could not cook without firewood, so in order to eat quickly, the three had to get up from the ground and go to the mountain at the head of the village to collect firewood.
The three of them walked out for a long time, and Yu Zhao was still standing in place and did not move.
Old Lady Yu frowned, and her eyebrows were upside down: "Why don't you go yet?" ”
"Mother, you don't know that the child is notoriously stingy in Uncle Liu's family, how can he borrow our food." Yu Zhao usually goes out to listen to gossip when he is free, Uncle Liu's family is doing the business of plowing and ox carts for the villagers, and it is considered a family with a row of noodles on the top in Lihua Village.
But the Liu family's management of finances is the same as that of the Yu family, and it is controlled by the old lady.
And Mrs. Liu is notoriously stingy Barcelona, and others don't want to take advantage of a line in her house, and she is so calculating to death, whoever takes her ox cart owes the two copper plates on credit, and she will come to the door to ask for it at most one day.
Yu Zhao was not sure that he could borrow food from such an old lady Liu.
"Then borrow it from someone else's house, don't you understand this truth?" Old Lady Yu's words sounded quite heavy, but they were light to her.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao is Yu Jiaojiao's mother-in-law, she would have given her baby Jiaojiao's granddaughter some face, then she would have scolded even more ugly.
"I see, mother." Yu Zhao actually wanted to be lazy, but he couldn't hide from it, so he could only reluctantly go to someone to borrow food.
Yu Liu thought that he had escaped, but he was targeted by Mrs. Yu in the next second: "Didn't you say that the pot was rusty?" Why are you still standing stupidly at the third daughter-in-law, don't you clean the pot before you come back from collecting firewood and borrowing food, why are you lazy? ”
Yu Liu was named by Mrs. Yu for such a beating, thinking that she might as well borrow food if she knew so.
Yu Jiaojiao watched Mrs. Yu arrange everything on the side, and she didn't mean to help at all.
Of course, even if she showed that she wanted to help, Mrs. Yu would not allow it.
Because she is going to marry into a big family, she was born in the family because she suffered, and then let her work?
That's impossible.
When the old lady came over, she clutched her stomach tightly with her hands, looking so hungry that she didn't have energy.
There are parts in it, but Yu Jiaojiao is indeed hungry like this for the first time.
In the past, as long as she was a little hungry, she had food to be served in front of her, and she still had leisure and ease, and she was picky and tasted bad.
But now, she is so hungry that even if she dislikes the egg custard that smells fishy the most, she can eat it in a big gulp, and she has no strength to dislike it at all.
"Jiaojiao, my good granddaughter, I'm sorry for you." Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Jiaojiao holding her stomach, and suddenly felt distressed.
She herself was so hungry that she didn't feel so distressed.
Yu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and bowed her head slightly without saying a word.
Let her say what not to blame them?
How is this possible, she should have been born in a family with no worries about food and clothing, but she was born in the Yu family, and the Yu family should have let her eat well, dress well, and use it well.
Instead of being like now, she is not good at dressing or eating, and she has begun to complain about her family at this time.
But she still has to rely on her family to support her, so she doesn't show much obviousness.
Mrs. Yu didn't notice Yu Jiaojiao's psychological changes, but she was too hungry to speak, and then she was even more distressed.
In my heart, I decided to make up for my baby granddaughter.
Beautiful dresses and everything have to be bought new, as well as jewelry or something, only the baby granddaughter dressed up beautifully can marry into a big family, in order to take them to enjoy happiness.
In the final analysis, it is not so much that the old lady feels sorry for Jiaojiao, but that she feels sorry for a person who can marry into a big family and bring them happiness, Fuxing.
If Yu Jiaojiao is not such a lucky star, then all this distress will no longer exist.
