Lying on some awkward hard beds, I may have slept a lot, but now I am not sleepy at all, I can't see anything clearly in the dark, my vision is blocked, and my other senses are getting clearer and clearer.

Most people in this ancient countryside built houses with mud bricks, and the houses were built small, so they were not soundproof, and the night was too quiet, she could clearly hear the breathing of the eldest daughter-in-law next door and her two children, and in the stove room on the other side, there was occasionally the sound of piling up high firewood accidentally rolling down, and one or two dog barks from the far away from the village.

She combed through the memory of the original owner again, and sighed again, although the original owner made people smile bitterly, but she could understand why she became like this.

The original owner's original name was Yang Lihua, she was ill-fated since she was a child, she was abducted and sold by human traffickers when she was five years old, and suffered a lot in the hands of human teeth, and she tried to escape many times without illness, and then she had a serious illness, high fever and coma for several days, and after waking up, she forgot a lot of things, only remembering that she was abducted, but she forgot who her father and mother were, and where her home was.

Later, after several turnovers, she was sold to a family surnamed Yang in Yangjia Village as a child daughter-in-law, and named her Yang Lihua, but the son of the Yang family was a short-lived ghost, and accidentally fell into the well and died when the original owner was ten years old. But he was stabbed with scissors by the original owner and stabbed in the thigh, and the original owner quickly ran away.

Just ran outside but was caught by Aunt Yang who was just going home, and took it back, and later after understanding the reason, not only scolded Daddy Yang but also beat the original owner, and locked the original owner in the firewood room and starved for two days and two nights.

After passing that incident, Aunt Yang was also afraid that something ugly would happen again, so she hurriedly dragged the matchmaker, wanting to marry the original owner as a daughter at the price of eight taels of silver.

It's just that whoever marries a daughter-in-law in the countryside can use so much money, and she is still a child daughter-in-law who killed her fiancé, and in the end she was pulled by someone and sold to Yao Dazhuang, a widower in Yaojia Village, for five taels of silver.

Although the countryside is not very wealthy, there are rules for marrying wives and daughters, and if it is a bought daughter-in-law, it is not good to say, and the bought daughter-in-law has no dowry and no family to rely on, so it is not respected.

However, through memory, Song Lingxue knew that the original owner would rather be sold to a widower as a stepfamily than stay in the Yang family's wolf den anymore.

Besides, although Yao Dazhuang is a widower, he is actually only eighteen years old, but he got married relatively early, and there is a two-year-old child at home.

The Yao family has two sons and two daughters, Yao Dazhuang is the eldest but he doesn't like to talk because of his dull personality, and he is not as clever as the younger son, so Yao's father and Yao Lao Niang don't pay much attention to the boss, and favor the second Yao Erzhuang.

So Yao Dazhuang's first daughter-in-law married very casually, only spent a tael of silver dowry, married the youngest daughter of a family in the village, not only thin and weak, not to mention, not very good looks, temper is not good, pregnant Yao Dazhuang was arrested Zhuang Ding to serve in the military for two years, after returning, found that the daughter-in-law died, leaving the two-year-old son thin and pitiful, so he used the only remaining five taels of silver in his hand, married Yang Lihua.

After Yang Lihua married into the Yao family, she didn't have to be afraid, she ate well and dressed well, except for a somewhat harsh mother-in-law, everything else was very satisfactory to her, so she took care of Yao Shishi, the child left by Yao Dazhuang's ex-wife, as a son, and Yao Dazhuang saw that she was really good to her son, so she was very good to her.

The poplar pear flower that was well raised in the body gave birth to another son Yao Shizhu for Yao Dazhuang in less than three years.

Two years later, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses were born, the third son Yao Shiqing and the eldest daughter Yao Shilan, the dragon and phoenix fetus in the countryside is a good omen, and the original owner can be regarded as finally getting rid of the reputation of being said to be a mourning star.

Later, when the original owner was twenty years old, he gave birth to a little girl, Yao Shiyu, and the speed of giving birth one after another had already convinced Song Lingxue.

As for why the children in the family have to name themselves with stone characters, it is because of the stubborn father-in-law of the original owner, Father Yao. I have to say that he once heard a passing Taoist priest say that their family is based on "stone", and if the grandchildren of the family want to name the stone character, they will be able to prosper in the future, so all the children of the Yao family have a stone character in their names.

At this time, Yao Dazhuang's family can be regarded as a big family, there are four or five children alone, and the livelihood of a large family depends on the family to do farm work, and Yao Dazhuang occasionally goes up to the mountains to hunt some wild animals and sell them for money or go to the town to find some scattered work, and the standard of living is a little bit up.

Yao Lao and his wife are shrewd and overdone, and they are not happy to live with Yao Dazhuang and his family anymore, so they plucked the old lady, and Yao Lao Niang has a nose that is not a nose and eyes that are not eyes all day long, giving the old family all kinds of picking.

There is no way for the two families to separate, but there is a rule in the village that parents do not separate, and if they are separated, it must be agreed by both parents, and generally the father and mother follow the old family.

But Yao's father will help people build a house, and he will be invited to build a house in his spare time, and he can always get a lot of income, and the two of them are so shrewd that they definitely don't want their father and mother to follow the old family, so they pleaded with the old lady when they split the family, crying in front of the village chief and the clan elders, and they had to follow the second family.

Although this is not beautiful, it is not without precedent, and the village chief and the clan elders couldn't stand the trouble of Yao Lao Niang, so they had to split up.

Yao Dazhuang was given two acres of fertile land, two acres of thin fields and four acres of gravel land with mountain roots, pigs, chickens, and vegetable gardens at home, and how to give all the belongings, so he gave an old house in the middle of the village, and some rations that were about to go bad.

Although the original owner was already a little spicy at this time, after all, under the long-term suppression of his mother-in-law, he didn't dare to say anything, and Yao Dazhuang was a taciturn person, so the division seemed to be unfair, but no one raised objections, so it was so simple to divide the family.

So Yao Dazhuang repaired the three dilapidated houses, and the whole family lived in a compact way, and later the children grew up, and the family was a little more comfortable, so he built a few more houses, which was enough for one person.

Later, when the original owner was twenty-five years old, he married his daughter-in-law Liu Shishi, who was already fifteen years old, and gave birth to a son Yao Yuanbao in the second year, and the original owner became a grandmother, and then in the third year, Yao Liu gave birth to the first granddaughter of the original owner, Yao Baoling.

After another three years, Yao Shizhu was also fifteen years old, and the original owner gave him Zhang Luo, married his wife, and gave birth to a pair of twin daughters the next year, Yao Yinling and Yao Jinling.

There are more people in the family, and the house that was originally quite loose is much more nervous, so the original owner asked Yao Dazhuang to modify the main house, and the older couple lived in a larger room divided into two, added a wall and hung a curtain, and the people inside lived outside as a hall.

The room that was originally used as a hall was given to the eldest couple to live in, so that their original room could be used by the children.
