What use do I want in this troubled world

Chapter 21
In the past 14 years, due to severe malnutrition and heavy housework, Chunxi, who was in the process of learning, was emaciated. The empty bamboo basket was carried on her back, but it seemed to be crushing her waist.

Shen Qingmei stared at her daughter's bamboo pole-like back, wiped her tears sadly and went back to the yard to help the old lady Zhao: "Mother, it's cold in the morning, be careful of the wind and cold, go inside and rest, I'll pour you a bowl of hot water." water."

Mrs. Zhao raised her sparse eyebrows, waved her away, and slapped her on the face with a backhand: "I want you to pretend to be kind, you ruthless bastard, dare to curse me to be sick!"

Shen Qingmei covered her face and bit her lips, her face hurt: "Mother, why do you miss me so much!"

Seeing her lovely and pitiful face, Mrs. Zhao was annoyed: "What time is it? Why don't you go and see if Xiaobao is awake? If Xiaobao is hungry, I'll see if I'll cut a layer of your skin."

Shen Qingmei smiled weakly and apologized: "Okay, mother, I'll go right away, don't be angry, be careful not to get angry."

Chunxi, who hadn't gone far, only felt relieved when she heard the loud applause.

Xu's second room.

The sun is good today, and Xiao Ruyi goes to look for the Polygonatum odoratum in the bamboo basket from time to time.

In the past few days, it has been raining intermittently, and the sun can't be dried, and Xiao Ruyi is going to die of worry.

On the other hand, Xu Wenfeng looks like she is in the late stages of cancer. Seeing her lazily sitting on the chair, leaning against the wall with her legs outstretched, she looks at Xiao Ruyi busy with work without anyone helping her.

In ancient times, children were in charge of the house early, and children as young as six or seven years old could undertake some simple housework.

There were also people outside the yard watching Ruyi.

Chunxi stared at Ruyi and looked him up and down, with a puzzled look on his skinny face.

The small hands flying among the baskets are white and tender, with plump flesh, and there are actually four small dimples on the back of the hand. The meat dimples are also called small rich nests, which are a symbol of wealth.

The average family can't support it.

I clearly remember that after the fourth girl of the Xu family returned to the village, she was lingeringly ill for more than a month. After seeing her well, she was shriveled and sickly, but the four girls in front of her were alive and well.

Xu Wenfeng glanced at Chunxi's direction from the corner of his eye.

This Chunxi always likes to "pass by" Xu's second bedroom intentionally or unintentionally. Looking at the memories of the original owner, Chunxi is an honest child who works hard and has no personal grudges with the original owner.
Xu Wenfeng thought about it.

Chunxi is also thinking about the difference between Siya and her previous life. The root cause lies in the person who is in charge of the house, and Erya is in charge of the house.

Looking at Xu Wenfeng, Erya has also changed, Erya used to be a hot tempered person, in those years when she was a donkey, she often saw Erya running around in the village.

As for the new life, since the last time I met her in the mountains, I haven't seen her go out, and she seems to have become demure and peaceful.

Seems inaccurate, lazy?

The Xu family has changed a lot. Chunxi looked at Xu Wenfeng who was taking a break and hiding, and the emotions in his eyes gradually became complicated.

Three years later, when the war resumed, the people of Yantan Village fled again to Longxi County. The Xu family reunited with Guan Miao, who had been missing for several years. She still remembers the bright smile on Erya's face at that time.

Without him, they were all poor children who lacked maternal love.

However, the happy event that was supposed to be a happy gathering has become extremely embarrassing, because Guan Miao has remarried, and has a pair of lovely children. The second married husband's family has a prominent status in Longxi County.

In the end, Erya was coaxed and used by her own mother, and she was taken to the Lu family to be a concubine... she ended up just like her.

Maybe something hurts its kind, Chunxi's expression is slightly moved, and the look of pity in his eyes is ready to come out.

Xu Wenfeng lowered his eyes, and his heart sank, not because he was offended by Chunxi's pitiful eyes.

Rebirth is equivalent to predicting the future. Could it be that the fate of the original owner was very miserable in Chunxi's life?
When Chunxi saw her, there was a cry of sympathy and pity in her eyes, but she was not surprised, which meant that in Chunxi's life, the original owner returned home safely.

So, what major event happened later that led to the tragic fate of the original owner?

Chunxi laughed at herself, she couldn't protect herself, so she had the leisure to worry about others.

She came here because in her previous life, Erya rescued a person and came back. At that time, she was overwhelmed by the endless work, so I don't know the exact date.

Rough calculations should have saved a lot of time at this time. The Xu family has changed too much. Like her, what secrets are they hiding?
Chunxi couldn't figure it out.

He could only keep a close eye on the Xu family. That person had a great status. If he wanted to completely leave the Zhao family, he hoped to be on that person.

After Chunxi left, the cat meowed, Xu Wenfeng stood up, stretched his waist, kicked and walked to the backyard, went to the base of the wall, and waved his head to let Wu Manguan climb in directly.

"Can I come in?" Wu Manguan was a little uncertain.

Xu Wenfeng nodded and urged: "Hurry up, don't be seen by others."

In the past few days, there must be frequent meetings. It is inconvenient to do things across the wall. The two younger sisters in the family are tight-lipped, as long as they are not seen by outsiders.

Xu Yuqing, who was squatting in the vegetable garden weeding bitterly, was startled: "Second sister, who are you talking to?"

I thought that the second sister was stepping into the backyard because of her conscience, and she came to help pull the weeds, but it turned out that she went straight to the courtyard wall and was still talking to a man.

The second sister met a man privately?

Are you recruiting your family?

Xu Yuqing was frightened by her own thoughts.

Recently gaining weight, Wu Manguan struggled to climb over the wall, fell and scrambled, his round body twisted and stood upright.

Xu Yuqing stood up abruptly, covered her mouth and stared at Wu Manguan, she couldn't believe it, the second sister just had a private meeting with a man, at least she picked a good one, didn't the second sister always look down on the Wu family boy?
When did the two hook up?

Bah, bah, bah, that bastard Wu Manguan must have conspired, Xu Yuqing looked at him rather unkindly.

Wu Manguan also knew that he had a bad reputation, so he smiled flatteringly at Xu Yuqing, looking a little wretched and greasy.

Xu Yuqing's blood pressure went up, and she took several deep breaths before she could bear the urge to jump up and scratch his face.

Ugly, dead toad!
