Lin Mancang was better, after all, he was a man, and he just carried the firewood to the firewood stack.

But because of his lack of physical strength, the Wang family gritted his teeth and leaned the firewood against the squeaky and unstable door.

"Baoru, come and help my mother." Wang's throat was very dry, and she hadn't drunk water for most of the day, which made her lips a little chapped.

is such a woman with a weak voice, a person who has raised a family all her life, and a woman who has been crushed by life.

Her complexion was sallow and rough, and her coarse cloth was thin, dusty, dead, leaves, and countless patches. Even the hair fell out a lot, and it looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lin Baoru hurriedly stepped forward to help. And Aunt Lu on the side naturally did not stand idly by, put down the basket in her hand and followed.

Aunt Lu came to send a few nests and a bowl of corn grits, which are pressed open by the dried corn kernels at home on the mill, which is not a valuable object, but it is precious for Lin Baoru's family. After all, the little grain in her family's thin field was exchanged for silver by her mother early on, ready to be sent to the old house.

Aunt Lu also thought about the difficulties of the Lin family's orphans and widows, so she came over to help. But more importantly, she wanted to talk to the Wang family about the young master of the Liu family in the town.

Speaking of the Liu family, it was quite wealthy in the early years, and when the old man of the Liu family was still alive, he was also a wealthy family in ten miles and eight towns.

At that time, the Liu family still had their own Zhuangzi, and he was a well-known landlord. It's just that the good times didn't last long, more than ten years ago, Master Liu couldn't afford to be sick, and then the family was headed by a daughter-in-law who had no opinions, and there was a quilt. Pet. The broken young master Liu Shulai, won't his life plummet?

It is rumored in the town that the young master of the Liu family eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, does everything, fights cocks and walks dogs all day long, and does not do anything serious.

"Bao Ru Niang, you don't dare to make a mistake. I found someone to inquire clearly, that Liu Shu is a big young master, in fact, he is a straw bag, he can't pick his shoulders and can't lift his hands, he doesn't divide the grains, and he teases cats and dogs all day long, but he hasn't done a serious thing. I heard that the Liu family's family business was almost lost by him. ”

Aunt Lu pulled Wang's family and persuaded as she spoke, "I see that your sister-in-law's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, where can she really be kind enough to help you?" In the final analysis, I'm afraid that I have already reaped the benefits, and I have to push the eldest girl into the fire pit. ”

The Wang family, who was originally grateful to Dafang, now where does he dare to have hope?

Her face had already turned pale, a few days ago, her sister-in-law suddenly said that her eldest brother had told Baoru about a family matter, and her in-laws also nodded, and she was still moved in her heart for some reason.

You know, what she worries about most is being widowed. The reputation of the woman was delayed by a few small ones.

It's just that now when she listens to Aunt Lu's words, isn't she a little dumbfounded?

Not to mention the gangsters who eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, even in the village, none of the idle offspring she has seen are good to their daughters-in-law, they don't work all day long, and they beat or scold the daughters-in-law and children at home......

Thinking of this, Wang's heart became sad and panicked, and when he looked at his eldest daughter again, he felt a little more sorry and distressed. The tears also fell down the corners of his eyes, and he really couldn't live this day.

"You also want to open a little, knowing the details of that family, you can guard against some, so as not to harm your daughter in a daze." Seeing that the Wang family was crying miserably, Aunt Lu opened her mouth to persuade, "If you want me to say, you can simply find a way to stand on your own, even if it is to set up a female household, it is better than being restrained over there." In the future, if you want to say goodbye to the children, you don't have to ask grandpa to tell grandma to look at the face over there......"

Lin Baoru heard Aunt Lu suddenly talk about the female household, and her mind immediately moved. In fact, she doesn't feel much about her own family affairs, but if she can stand on her own, it will definitely be a good thing.

She wasn't the original person, and she didn't know much about the laws here. Now that I hear that I can set up a female household, don't my thoughts move quickly?

However, after seeing Wang shaking her head again and again, she still suppressed the words that were about to be exported, thinking that she would find a free time later and ask Aunt Lu carefully.

To be honest, the mean and impersonal Lin family, she really doesn't know what kind of nostalgia her mother has.

"Sister-in-law, it's not me who drilled the horns, her father hasn't heard from her all these years, but no one has seen his corpse, I just think that one day if he comes back, at least he won't complain about me." Wang squinted at the girl beside him, sighed and continued, "Besides, with the support of the uncle and grandparents, the Baoru sisters will not be trampled on in the in-law's house in the future......"

Obviously, Aunt Lu also figured out the way, and sighed and did not continue to persuade.

This is the difficulty of women in this year, if there is no support from her mother's family, I am afraid that she will not be able to get well to her mother-in-law's house.

Seeing that the business was finished, Aunt Lu handed over the basket and said: "This is the corn residue I just milled, I put a handful of white noodles on these two nests, you make do with the children first, and in the days to come, if our villagers pull a handful, we will get through." ”

In these years, the life of every family is not good, and this nest is full of good things.

If you change to the people in the old house, it is estimated that you will be dragged down by the Lin family, not to mention borrowing food and money, and it is estimated that you will have to hide far away when you meet. Just like Lin Baoru and those who were seriously ill, no matter how the Wang family pleaded, the Liu family insisted that the family had no money.

Although Wang also felt embarrassed, he also knew the situation at home, and after some thanks, he sent away Aunt Lu, who was still concerned and told Lin Baoru to pay attention to rest.

In this way, the family can sit down and eat in peace.

Lin Baoru asked her mother to go to the house first, and then asked the second sister to take a broken shovel and pull out the charcoal from the stove that had not yet been extinguished and bring it to the house. After she finished the meal, she added another scoop of cold water to the pot, relying on the residual temperature of the bottom of the pot, which could also make the cold and biting ice water milder.

The food in the house is not rich, but a nest head and two vegetable cakes mixed with grass roots can be regarded as quenching hunger.

Besides, the nest head that Aunt Lu just gave was still a handful of white noodles, presumably they ate much better in the past.

The Wang family divided a few parts of the nest that Aunt Lu had just sent, stretched out his hand and handed Lin Baoru a piece, and the rest was going to be fed to his younger son who was just over a year old with black rice porridge.

In fact, he said that he was the youngest son, but he was not born to her, but was picked up from the pile of dead people outside the village last year. At that time, she was full of joy and thought that it would be good to have a son, and when the child grew up, she could not only help take care of the stupid eldest son, but also leave a descendant for her man. Who would have thought that life would be like this?

"Mother, the second sister and the third sister are growing up, it's not okay to not be able to eat so much every day." Lin Baoru saw the eyes of the second sister and the third sister, and her heart couldn't help but soften, and she raised her hand and stuffed the rest of the nest into the hands of the two of them.

is not a half-grown child, he has been dragged down by life to become such a miserable appearance, and now he can swallow saliva for his mouth, how can it not make people feel distressed?

After all, she has lived two lives, and even if she will be greedy, she will not compete with several children for a bite to eat. Thinking of this, she simply put the nest in her hand next to the two sisters, and then hugged her younger brother Lin Xiaoshan, who was still unstable, into her arms.

As soon as the child entered his arms, Lin Baoru's heart became sour again, and the shriveled bones were a little panicked.

"Big sister......" the little guy screamed angrily like a kitten. Don't look at him small, but he also knows that there is little food at home, so during the day, he hardly does anything other than sleep, because he will be easily hungry when he goes out to play. On the contrary, when you fall asleep, you don't have to feel sick anymore.

Lin Baoru snorted, smiled and sighed, then carefully took out a piece of steamed bun from his younger brother's hand, dipped it in soup and fed him a mouthful.

Lin Baoru has never raised a child, but after all, she was born in medicine, so she naturally knows that if the child is too hungry, it will cause great damage to the brain. She glanced at the child who was holding her fingers, and her strength was not very old, and if she continued like this, even if Lin Xiaoshan was not starved to death, she would have to be hungry and stupid.

When she saw that the little one was eating sweetly, she picked a small pickle and fed it. Regardless of whether it is an adult or a child, if there is no salty taste every day, I am afraid that my body will not be able to stand it.

The eldest brother Lin Mancang nibbled on a bite of hard cakes and frowned and glanced at a few girls, but did not show any expression, but continued to eat by himself. However, he rarely spoke, so it didn't seem to be anything wrong. After eating the cake in a hurry, he left in a hurry to go to the back mountain to collect firewood, and left in a hurry, not even paying attention to Wang's beckoning him to rest for a while.

When the family in the house was frowning, they saw a strange voice from the threshold of the house, "Yo, how many of these girls are eating?" ”

The person who came was Wang's concubine and Lin Baoru's eldest aunt Zhang. In the past few days, because he gave birth to three sons for the Lin family, and then there is a man Lin Dachong who can make money, so his waist is straight, and he jumps up and down all day long. Xu is looking for a sense of existence, and she often comes to look for the bad luck of the Wang family.

How could Wang not hear people's sarcasm and disdain? She was embarrassed and uncomfortable, but she was not unhappy at all, but politely got up and said softly: "Sister-in-law is here, hurry up and come in and sit, it's cold outside." ”

Lin Baoru saw that her mother germinated in a solid state, and every time she was humiliated, she didn't have a long memory, and she couldn't help but feel a little hated in her heart.

But now that there are outsiders, she can't say anything. It's just that when she saw Zhang's disgusted face, she still secretly said that as long as she survived, the first thing she would do was to transform the family's temperament first. Even if you can't stand up, at least you should be able to stand up.

Sure enough, without waiting for Wang to say more, he saw that Zhang had already pinched his nose and made a face full of displeasure.

"I don't go in, I don't have to make a joke." Saying that, the Zhang family also waved his hand and fanned the wind in a fake way, and said with disgust on his face, "It's not that I said you, good people have to live in livestock sheds, and your eldest brother is kind-hearted, so he always wants to pull you, so I have to tell my eldest niece that the young master in the town is a man." Hey, I really don't have a conscience......"
