"Dashan, mother, mother seems to be out of breath..."
"Mom, my son is unfilial!"
In his ears, there was the sound of wailing.
Cheng Wanwan opened his eyes suddenly.
She saw two young men, a man and a woman, kneeling in front of the bed. They looked less than twenty years old. How could such an old person call her mother?
She was single and unmarried, how could she give birth to such a big son and daughter!
At this moment, some memories that did not belong to her suddenly poured into her mind.
Cheng Wanwan was so shocked that she almost jumped out of bed.
What's weird, she, a successful female entrepreneur, actually traveled back in time to an ancient widow on the first day her company went public!
She is thirty-three years old, unmarried and has no children. She has a successful career and lives a leisurely life.
The original person was also thirty-three years old, got married early, and gave birth to four sons. In front of him are the original person's eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law.
In other words, she skipped getting married and having children, and became a mother-in-law level figure... The eldest daughter-in-law seems to be pregnant, so she will be upgraded to a grandmother in a few months!
Cheng Wanwan's head hurt, and he couldn't close his eyes.
"Mom! Wake up!"
Zhao Dashan shook her body desperately, making her head dizzy even more.
There are many people watching the excitement in the yard in front of the house.
"Sister-in-law Zhao went back to her parents' house to borrow food, but when she came back, her head was broken. She bled so much that she was probably going to die!"
"Sister-in-law Zhao takes everything to her parents' house. The Cheng family is too heartless."
"Sister-in-law Zhao is not a good person. Her own family's life is so bad, but she still manages to subsidize her parents' family."
The onlookers called Sister-in-law Zhao, which made Cheng Wanwan almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
She is considered a beautiful urban girl in modern times. She has many suitors ranging from 100 to 80, but in the end she dresses like an old sister-in-law!
That's all, but the original person is still a being that I personally hate - sarcastic, lazy, and strong at the tip!
It turned out that she was not filial to her parents-in-law, and she was not kind to her son and daughter-in-law. After her husband died in the war, in order to keep all his money, he made a big fuss about the Zhao family and separated it, which caused quite a stir at that time.
After the separation, the original wife subsidized all the money earned by her husband who died in the war to her mother's family.
But now, Yuan came back from her parents' home with a broken head and blood, and suddenly became the biggest joke in the village.
Cheng Wanwan opened her eyes quietly.
"Mom! You finally woke up!"
Zhao Dashan cried even harder.
Cheng Wanwan sighed. No matter how bad she was to the children, she was still their biological mother. Her sons could not really want her to die.
She said in a hoarse voice: "Close the door."
The people watching outside were so noisy that it made her ears hurt.
The eldest daughter-in-law Wu Huiniang realized that the door was not closed and turned to close the courtyard door. The crowd watching the excitement slowly dispersed.
Only then did Cheng Wanwan have the energy to look at the house. It had mud walls, a mud floor, a thatched roof, and air leakage from all sides.
The eldest son and daughter-in-law were very thin, wearing patched coarse cloth and rags, and straw sandals on their feet. They looked like refugees.
"Gulu!"
Cheng Wanwan heard her stomach growl.
She had lived for thirty-three years and had never been hungry. This was the first time she knew what it felt like to be hungry. It was really uncomfortable.
She swallowed, her throat hurt, and she hadn't drank water for an unknown amount of time.
Wu Huiniang said cautiously: "Mom, I dug some wild vegetables this morning and I'm going to cook them now."
My mother-in-law would scold people when she was unhappy, and she would get scolded every time. Instead of waiting here to be scolded, she might as well do something.
There are only three rooms in this courtyard. One room is for the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and the other room is for Cheng Wanwan and the three younger sons. The main room doubles as a dining place, and there is a shabby thatched shed next to it that barely counts as a kitchen.
Wu Huiniang bent down and picked up a handful of wild vegetables from the ground. The season was not good and there was no harvest in the field. The family ate wild vegetables every day. The wild vegetables were chopped and mixed with a little buckwheat flour and cooked into a paste. This was the family's daily ration.
There was a rotten pot on the stove with a big hole in it, so the food had to be cooked at an angle to prevent it from leaking out.
Not long after, a large bowl of wild vegetable paste was brought to the wooden table.
The black paste and dark green wild vegetable leaves, mixed in a bowl, look unappetizing.
Cheng Wanwan was really hungry, otherwise she wouldn't have even looked at this thing.
She took a taste.
The taste is very bitter, there is no salt, and I don’t know what kind of powder the paste is made from. It seems to have chaff. When I drink it, I scratch my throat and I can’t swallow it at all.
But when she looked up, she saw her eldest son and daughter-in-law in front of her, staring at the food in her hand and swallowing.
What she finds hard to swallow is actually the main food for the people at the bottom of this era to survive...
She placed the bowl back on the table.
This action made Wu Huiniang tremble. The way her mother-in-law remained silent was really scary... Her knees softened and she almost fell to the ground.
Cheng Wanwan twitched the corners of his lips.
She didn't do anything, but her daughter-in-law was so frightened. How many evil things had she done at home?
She got up from the bed and said in a calm voice: "I have no appetite, you can eat by yourself."
She got up and walked out of the house.
Wu Huiniang was in panic: "Dashan, mother, mother, this is..."
"Mom lets us eat, so let's eat."
Zhao Dashan took the paste out and divided it into five small bowls. He and his wife each had a bowl, and the rest was left for his three brothers.
Cheng Wanwan walked outside the yard and stood at the door of his house. He had a panoramic view of the entire Dahe Village. To the east were the rolling peaks and to the west were valleys stretching for dozens of miles. There was a river winding through the mountains. It just happened to be Due to the severe drought, the river has dried up, exposing the cracked river bed, which is shocking.
Last year there was a locust plague in Dahe Village, and this year there was another drought. Many people in the village were gradually running out of food, and everyone was in dire straits.
If there is no rain within this month, and this year is another year of no harvest, the villagers here may really become refugees with no fixed abode...
Cheng Wanwan sighed.
What kind of evil did she commit in her previous life? She just became a mother-in-law and grandma, and she actually traveled to a famine year where natural disasters were frequent...
However, since she was able to struggle from an orphan to a female entrepreneur, she can now settle down and live in this lean year.
She took a deep breath and slowly accepted this sad reality.
Cheng Wanwan didn't think any more, she packed up her mood and prepared to familiarize herself with the environment first.
She walked into the rice fields.
The rice is green and yellow, with slender leaves that are dry and rolled up, and the ears that are pulled out have scattered grains, but they are basically empty husks.
If there is not enough water, the ears will not come out and the rice will not be full.
Cheng Wanwan didn't quite understand this and was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly a mechanical voice sounded in my mind——
【Ding! Discover natural pollution-free chicory! 】
