The drought lasted only a few months, and it affected the harvest of the first season, and the days were poorer, to the point of fleeing the famine.

Only the county where Uncle Tian and his family live has a severe drought, but in this way, the poorer families in the village can get by, not to mention, a family like Uncle Tian who has craftsmanship and surplus grain at home.

Their family was sold not because they couldn't get by, but because they were targeted.

Uncle Tian was originally not surnamed Tian, it can be said that he was born in a wealthy township, and he was originally the only son of Xiangkun in their town, but when he was seven years old, his father died suddenly, leaving orphans and widows.

With the Tian family's property, the mother and son are not to mention that they are rich and expensive, and it is not a problem to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

But since ancient times, the widow has not had many things in front of him, and his father is a single family for three generations, and the orphans and widows have no relatives to help them, so life is naturally not easy.

The ruffians in the town always knocked on his door for no reason, and Tian's mother didn't even dare to go out of the door with him.

Later, under the persuasion of her neighbors, Tian's mother made up her mind to find an honest and reliable man to remarry.

Pick and choose, Tian's father, who was a long-term worker in his house at that time, Tian's father was honest, and he lost his wife at an early age, and the two sons and one daughter in the family have become adults, and Tian's mother didn't have to worry too much about marrying in the past.

Although the Tian family is in the countryside, it is a big family, and Tianjia Village is twice as large as Sujia Village, and there are almost no foreign surnames except for foreign daughters-in-law.

Tian's mother also took a fancy to this, and felt that she would remarry with her child, and her son would join the Tian family tree, and even if she was no longer there, she would have brothers and relatives to help her.

She thought it was good, and Father Tian did not disappoint her, as soon as she got married, she asked the patriarch to open the ancestral hall and record Uncle Tian's name in the family tree.

For this matter, Tian's mother also took fifty taels from the dowry to build an ancestral hall for the patriarch.

Tian's mother married into the Tian family, and Tian's father was as loyal and honest as she saw, putting her first in everything, and she lived happily for a few years.

But the stepson and stepdaughter are getting older and older, and the matter of starting a family is in her hands again.

When Tian's mother first remarried, she sold the town's property together, and she also had nearly five hundred taels of silver on hand.

The Tian family is also thriving because of the arrival of Tian's mother, and they can't eat meat once a year, but now they can eat it two or three times a month.

It is unreasonable to embarrass her with these stepsons and stepdaughters, Tian's mother feels that her stepson and stepmother are sensible and obedient, and they naturally put their heart into their marriage.

The wives who married the two stepsons are not bad in appearance and character, so they are nearly a generation higher than the average family in the village.

The house was renovated and a few brick houses were built, but it cost a lot.

Tian's mother naturally doesn't care about these things, even when her stepdaughter gets married, she also gives a set of silver jewelry, and also adds a golden hairpin that her mother's family married when she got married.

It stands to reason that Tian's mother has done this, and her stepson and stepdaughter should respect and love her, but this is not the case.

Five hundred taels of silver looks like a lot, but since Tian's mother married in, Tian's father has not gone out to work, and the family is watching over a few acres of land, which can be said to be a mountain of emptiness.

and the marriage of the three brothers and sisters, most of the silver in Tian's mother was spent.

That's it, they don't know that after getting married, they find excuses to ask their stepmother for money.

Originally, Tian's mother also gave it, but later the silver on hand became less and less, and her son had not yet married, so she was not willing to give it again.
