The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 7 Where is Ningzhou?

Pei Heng was very happy. He ran around in the wasteland but couldn't find any sweet potatoes. In the end, he felt a little depressed. Tao Zhen patted his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Two sweet potatoes can grow a lot of sweet potatoes. Xiao Heng, do you want to try it yourself?"

Pei Heng nodded, with a smile on his face again.

Around noon, Tao Zhen finally caught a small fish as big as a palm.

Along the way, Pei Heng was carrying a small bucket with a smile on his face.

When Mrs. Pei saw them coming back, she came out of the house and looked at the small bucket in Pei Heng's hand: "Did you catch a fish?"

Pei Heng nodded, showed the bucket to Mrs. Pei, and then showed the sweet potatoes they dug up to Mrs. Pei as if they were offering treasure.

Mrs. Pei was indeed very happy. Not to mention how many things there were, Pei Heng had rarely smiled like this.

"Okay, great!" Mrs. Pei said.

Tao Zhen said: "Let's make fish soup for dinner tonight."

Such a small fish is full of bones and is not enough for anyone to eat. Let's try the stewed fish soup together.

As for the sweet potatoes...

At noon, the three of them took a bite. Tao Zhen originally wanted to make something delicious, but when she entered the kitchen, she discovered that the life of the Pei family was really poor. There was no more white rice, and there was only a small amount in the rice vat. Brown rice and half a bag of sprouted potatoes were placed in the sack on the ground. Because they were not placed in the cellar, the surface of the potatoes was already green and tasted numb to the tongue. Mrs. Pei had made it once before and never touched it again. There was also a Small bags of white flour and nothing else.

Tao Zhen knew before that the Pei family was living a difficult life, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult. People say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Pei family was ransacked, their life would not be so bad.

Mrs. Pei saw her doubts and said: "I was worried about the family affairs, and I didn't have any ideas. I spent a lot of money on it. Unfortunately, Ah Huan and the others still couldn't save it. They still took it with them when they left Beijing. I bought some, but I spent it all on the way..."

Tao Zhen understood how difficult it was on the road to exile. At least half of the prisoners died on the road every year. The old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Pei family could only come to Ningzhou alive because of money.

Tao Zhen suddenly thought of something. The injury on Pei Zhan's back was not just caused by thirty whips.

Before the exiles left Beijing, they had to undergo the punishment of the spine of the rod, which was to hit the criminal on the back with the rod, and then the tattoo punishment, which was to stab the face with a gold needle and mark the prisoner's mark.

If the prisoners are lucky enough to survive, they will have to serve in the place of exile. In the past, most of those who came to Ningzhou served in the military. In fact, they were serving as death squads to explore the way for the army. However, in recent years, the border has been relatively peaceful, and the exiles sent The prisoners were sent to nearby quarries to quarry stone or build city walls.

Once you go ten thousand miles, you will never return a thousand miles.Where is Ningzhou?A life spent in hell!

Thinking of what the Pei family had gone through, Tao Zhen was a little distracted. Now she didn't blame Pei Zhan for his behavior yesterday at all. The life of the Pei family was already so difficult. She didn't dare to think that if she hadn't come, the original owner would really be dead. What will happen to the Pei family?After all, committing suicide is a serious crime!

"Azhen, I feel sorry for you. You and Ahuan have no fate..." Mrs. Pei felt really guilty about Tao Zhen.

Tao Zhen was very grateful to her. If it weren't for Mrs. Pei, she would have died long ago. Tao Zhen was an orphan and had no relatives since she was a child. Mrs. Pei made her feel maternal love. She thought that God was treating her well.

"Mom... don't worry, I won't do stupid things again. I will be fine..." Tao Zhen promised.

Mrs. Pei held her hand tightly, looked into her eyes, and nodded excitedly: "Okay...ok..."
