Chapter 3 Four great children

She touched her head and the wounds on her body, and tightened the cloth tightly. No matter what, she had to wrap it for ten days and a half. If someone found that her wounds had scabbed, she would not be able to wrap them up. She was burned as a monster.

A total of two and a half kilograms of Artemisia annua was dug. No one eats Artemisia annua. I don’t know what the system wants it for, so the price given is quite high.

A total of fifty points were sold. The body was still in its menstrual period, so she spent another twenty points to buy twenty sanitary products.

After working exhaustingly for a long time, more than half of the money was spent in a blink of an eye, with 75 points left. Lin Wan did not dare to buy randomly anymore.

She stretched her legs and moved a bit before lifting her feet and walking back.

Before entering the yard, I heard a yelp coming from the house.

"Ouch, the black batter is so delicious!"

“I finally don’t have to go to bed hungry today!”

She walked into the door and saw a circle of people gathered around the stone table in the yard. In addition to the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, there were three boys.

The eldest son, Zhang Goudan, is 17 years old. He married Zhao Xicui from Zhaojiacun two years ago and is the only labor force in this orphaned and widowed family.

The second eldest child, Zhang Lansheng, is 14 years old and the smartest among the four. He often goes up the mountain to sell some mountain goods to sell in the town.

The third child, Zhang Zhuzi, is 12 years old. As his name suggests, he is very strong and strong. He likes to follow the second child up the mountain to hunt.

The fourth child, Zhang Xiaoshan, is in his early ten years. Perhaps because of his young age, his brothers left all the food to him. He is about the same height as the second child, but very thin and has a sallow complexion. He is holding a broken bowl at the moment. I licked it round and round without brushing it.

Lin Wan never expected that more than half a bowl of black batter would be divided into five portions. It was estimated that no one had even a bite, but they all ate contentedly.

Only then did she truly feel how poor this family was, otherwise the original owner wouldn't have been beaten to death because of the lack of food for her parents' family.

Although the original owner wanted to go to her mother, she really had nothing to go back to.

Seeing that he had returned home, his sons immediately put down their bowls and stood up.

Zhang Goudan: "Sit down quickly, mother."

Zhang Lansheng: "Mom, I picked a lot of mushrooms on the mountain today and will sell them to buy medicine for my mother tomorrow."

Zhang Zhuzhu: "Mom, I cut a lot of wood today and sold it for money."

Zhang Xiaoshan: "Mom, I dug wild vegetables."

Lin Wan felt bitter in her heart.

These children are just a group of students in modern times. Even the eldest son is just a sophomore in high school. What were you doing when you were 17?She was packed up and sent abroad by her parents, driving around in a brand-name car.Or travel to various countries on a plane with your friends.

But in this family, children in their early teens are already worrying about their livelihood.

"Ding, I found two kilograms of wild vegetables and [-] points. Do you want to redeem them?"

Lin Wan saw that the wild vegetables dug by her fourth son were Mother-in-law Ding, and the system gave her [-] points per pound.

It was twice as expensive as the mugwort she dug, which made her heartbroken.

Lin Wan picked up her mother-in-law Ding and returned to the house where she lived.

Five people, you look at me, I look at you, no one says anything. Every time you come back from work, your mother will scold you for eating for nothing. Why are you so silent this time?They found that Lin Wan had closed the door. They were afraid that she would be beaten again if they disturbed her, so they quickly moved out quietly.

Lin Wan closed the door to cut off their sight, quickly sold her mother-in-law Ding, and then bought two kilograms of rice, which cost four points. Good rice is ten points per kilogram, this kind of small, broken rice is two points per kilogram, and now this What else is good to eat as a family? It’s good to be full.

Zhangjiacun is located in the south, where rice is the staple food, and ordinary people can only eat brown rice with wild vegetables. As for flour, which is a valuable commodity, according to the memory of the original owner, it can be sold for thirty yuan per pound in Dajin County.

Although she was used to eating steamed buns, she couldn't take them out openly.

She opened the door and put the rice on the stove.

"Big... rice!"

"Get the rice from there!"

There was a drought the year before last and a flood this year. There was no food to harvest in the fields. Everyone relied on the surplus food at home and the government's disaster relief food to support themselves. Even except for a few wealthy households in the town, I am afraid no one can bring out white rice to eat. .

Moreover, even in good times, people in the village will sell their rice and replace it with brown rice or black noodles. One pound of rice can be exchanged for three or four pounds of brown rice or black noodles, so that the whole family can fill their stomachs.

It's getting late.

In the kitchen, while there was still weak light, Zhao Xicui was washing pots and boiling water.

Lin Wan sat on the stone table with her four sons standing in front of her. She explained: "The rice is what I am going to give to the Lin family today. Your cousin is about to take the exam, so I prepared it for him to supplement his nutrition."

As soon as she finished speaking, her four sons became weak and cold-hearted.

They knew it would be like this. No matter what good things there were at home, mother would give them to the Lin family. Even if they starved to death, mother would not give them anything to eat.

After all these years, I still had a few good meals when my father was still alive.

And those white-eyed wolves of the Lin family ate so much of their family's food, and my mother was so kind to them and was beaten, so the four of them all pointed their fingers at the Lin family.

"But I didn't expect that before they even waited for me to deliver it, they didn't look at me seriously because the things they gave me recently were much less. I just said a few words and they beat me. This incident really made me completely Heartbroken."

Lin Wan pretended to wipe her tears, "I never thought people could be so bad. I've given them so much money over the years. Now that the family is in trouble and can't give them much, the Lin family actually beat me, especially It was your uncle who did the killing."

She lowered her head, shrugged her shoulders, and her long hair covered half of her face, giving people a look of suppressed pain.

The sons looked at each other with a flash of doubt.

My mother used to be criticized by her parents' family, but after a while, she would just do whatever she wanted. She would typically forget about food and not fights.

So they obviously don't believe what Mom said today. No matter how the Lin family treats Mom, as long as they give in and say a few nice words, or the old man and lady of the Lin family wipe their tears a few times, Mom will be dragged away again. After returning home, she would not be soft-hearted at all towards a few of them who looked like wild children picked up from the roadside.

Lin Wan looked at them in confusion and wiped away her tears again: "Mom will never send food to the Lin family again. We will eat it ourselves. Xicui, you go make porridge."

Zhao Xicui said confusedly: "Bake... porridge?"

Lin Wan guessed that she didn't dare.

But what's the point of eating a mouthful of soup for one person? I'm afraid the baby won't be able to eat enough. Five people, oh no, plus the six people in her belly will share a bowl. She is afraid that the child in Zhao Xicui's belly will starve to death.
