Summer of the 36th year of Daqi
The entire Tai'an Prefecture is experiencing a severe drought that has not been seen in thirty years.
From early spring last year to July this year, there was no water!
The rivers have dried up, the rice seedlings have withered, and the land has dried up.
This is what Xie Yushu saw when she woke up!
The sun seems to be twice as big as usual, scorching the earth unbridled, and if you look closely, the air is full of hot air waves!
I struggled to get up, but as soon as I moved, my head felt dizzy. I reflexively curled my lips, and there was a stinging sensation on my lips.
Xie Yushu wiped it off, but her hands were stained with traces of blood, her lips were chapped, her throat was dry and spicy, and there was a big bump on the back of her head.
Not far away, a woman stumbled towards the village carrying something.
Looking at the scattered backpack next to it and the only two water hyacinths filled with water, I instantly understood that someone had robbed her!
Xie Yushu was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, the memory of the original owner came flooding back.
She has traveled through time! Or time travel to a famine year that is rare in thirty years! From a special forces medic to a young daughter-in-law named Xie Yushu from Daqi State, Tai'an Prefecture, Yonghe County, Beihe Town, Fenghuangzui Village who had just been married for a day!
The person who knocked her unconscious was Xie Yujiao, the cousin of the same race who stole her ex-fiancé and now her sister-in-law!
Right now, we are experiencing a severe drought.
Many families have already fled the famine, and those who are left behind are either those who have enough food to spare, or those who are old, weak, sick and disabled and cannot leave.
Water sources are scarce nearby, and villagers have begun to search for water in the mountains!
Now water is life, more valuable than gold!
This Xie Yujiao robbed the original owner of her fiancé, not only caused the original owner to be divorced and ruined her reputation, but also robbed her of water. Wouldn't this cost her life!
Grandma's, my uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can't!
Xie Yushu calmed down a little, then got up and chased Xie Yujiao in front.
Xie Yujiao didn't have much strength and couldn't run fast. Xie Yushu tried to hold back her energy and wanted to vent her anger on her original owner. She caught up with him after a while, grabbed Xie Yujiao's hair and threw her to the ground.
"Ah! Xie Yushu, what are you doing?"
"Why do you have the nerve to ask me? Give me back my water!"
Xie Yushu said as she forcefully grabbed all six water-filled gourds.
"Xie Yushu, are you so stingy? It's just a few gourds of water, just go get it!"
Xie Yushu laughed angrily
"It's just a few gourds of water? Then go get it yourself! What I got is not your share! Get out!"
This was the first time Xie Yushu fell out with her. Xie Yujiao couldn't believe it.
"How dare you scold me? Let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
Xie Yujiao said and grabbed Xie Yushu's face, but Xie Yushu blocked it with quick eyes and hands. Then she stepped forward and slapped her twice on the face, and then kicked her to the ground. Think about how the original owner could have endured it. Angry, he stepped forward and slapped her twice hard.
"Xie Yujiao, I didn't argue with you before because we are of the same race and you are my sister.
You usually just grab the best, but today you robbed me of water and attacked me viciously. Our relationship as sisters is severed. If you do anything to me again, don't blame me for being rude to you! "
"You, how dare you hit me? I'm your clan sister. You'd better kowtow to me now and admit your mistake, and then let me hit you back. Otherwise, you can just wait and get slapped!"
"Xie Yujiao, you still want to use your patriarch, grandfather, to suppress me! Unfortunately, we are all the daughters-in-law of the Xiao family now, and the Xie family's clan rules cannot control the Xiao family."
Xie Yujiao shouted
"Don't forget, my man is a scholar. If you dare to hit the scholar's wife, your mother-in-law will not let you go!"
"Ha! Beat the scholar's wife! Even if I beat the scholar, he still has to endure it! Thanks to you, I became the scholar's second sister-in-law!
how? When I saw that Xiao Yi was lame, she encouraged my grandma to marry me to Xiao Yi to watch the excitement. Did she forget that Xiao Yi was the scholar's brother? "
"You, Xie Yushu, just wait, sooner or later I want you to look good!"
Xie Yujiao saw that she couldn't fight him either, so she had no choice but to say harsh words and turn away.
Xie Yushu didn't care about her two harsh words!
In the memory of the original owner, Xie Yujiao relied on her grandfather to be the head of the Xie family and always had the upper hand over others, especially Xie Yushu.
But although Xie Yushu is slim and slender, she is very strong!
Whether it's needlework, laundry, cooking or weeding, all the work is done efficiently! Looks pretty good! Fair and fair, with bright eyes and white teeth. The key is that she even recognized her grandfather!
When she was twelve or thirteen years old, she had already crossed the threshold of being a matchmaker, and finally she was chosen by the only scholar from all over the country, and she became the scholar's wife that everyone envied!
It was precisely because of this that Xie Yujiao refused to deal with her at all times.
Xie Yujiao is also fair-skinned, beautiful and plump, and thinks she is much better than that country girl Xie Yushu! Why did Xie Yushu become a scholar?
Later, for some reason, Xie Yujiao sprained her ankle, and Xiao Xiucai carried it back to her. Here, even if there is a physical relationship, she has to be responsible. Then the scholar Xiao Yuanhang broke off the engagement with her and married Xie Yujiao.
Xie Yushu's reputation was ruined after her engagement was broken off. After that, the people who came to marry her were either their dead wives, lame, deaf or mute. In the end, Xie Yushu married Xiao Xiucai's lame second brother Xiao Yi.
It can be said that Xie Yushu, as a well-known good girl in eight villages in ten miles, married a lame rough man with two children and became a stepmother, all because of Xie Yujiao!
In the past, the original owner had a weak temper and always gave way to Xie Yujiao. She was not the original owner and did not have the good temper to spoil her!
See her leaving
Xie Yushu was also ready to pick up the water hyacinth and go home. However, Xie Yushu was unconscious after being beaten, and she tore with Xie Yujiao. The old and worn-out backpack had fallen apart. She really couldn't hold the eight water hyacinths with her hands!
Fortunately, a little girl stumbled over not far away.
"Second aunt, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just felt a little dizzy just now, and the backpack is broken. I can't carry the water by myself."
"I'll get it for you"
After the little girl finished speaking, she picked up two water hyacinths with some difficulty. Xie Yujiao could barely hold the remaining six, and the two went home together.
The little girl's name is Xiao Haitang, and she is the niece of her cheap husband.
Her cheap husband Xiao Yi is the second child in the family. This little girl is the daughter of Xiao Laosan. Xiao Laosan joined the army and died in the war. His wife was arranged by the government to remarry. No one wanted this girl, and now she lives with her second uncle.
Speaking of which, I have to talk about the current situation.
Daqi has been at war for several years, and the population is sparse, so widows under forty years old who have no male descendants must remarry. If a man joins the army and dies, he must stay with the man who died in the war for three years before remarrying. If you don’t want to remarry, you will have to pay heavy taxes! If you want to set up a female household, you must have a house and land.
If a woman is not married at the age of 16, the government will arrange a marriage.
And this is only an official requirement. In fact, in times of disaster, it is not uncommon for girls as young as twelve or thirteen to be exchanged for marriage! Some were even given away as child brides at a young age!
well! The evil feudal society!
Xie Yushu's first signs of reconciliation were immediately extinguished. Well, she was fifteen years old and married. In the original owner's memory, although her husband had inconveniences, he was tall and strong, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose, and wheat. The skin color is, well, quite handsome!
If it was Heli and the government would assign it, they might give her something, so after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to settle here first and make plans slowly!
