How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 128 My mother’s family’s thoughts
It's not that rural people in ancient times didn't want to pay attention to hygiene, but they didn't have the conditions to pay attention to it.

Many people in the village are extremely poor.Dozens of people from a large family were crowded under the same roof, sleeping on the same kang.Some don't even have a complete set of clothes.

If anyone in the family wants to go out and visit other villages, he will wear these clothes and pants.As for others, they wore small grass skirts and worked in the fields.

Many villagers in Chenjia Village do not have iron pots at home.

If someone has a big iron pot, no need to guess, it must be a good treasure passed down from ancestors.

Even the slightly cheaper casseroles are viewed as precious by many people.Be very careful when using it, as you are worried about wearing it out.

There are not just one or two villagers who are so poor, but a large number of them.

They have no other skills, they only know how to dig food in the fields, and they count on God every year, hoping that the weather will be smooth and they will have a good harvest... There are too few resources and too many people, and everyone is blushing. His eyes were blinded, and he wished he could snatch away all the belongings of other people in the village and make a living.

……

Wang Yingying's mother-in-law felt her heart aching when she saw Chen Feiyan taking a pound of grain from her daughter-in-law.

While her heart ached, she thought to herself: "Forget it, let's use this extra food as protection money for her family!"

When Chen Feiyan's mother-in-law, Ma, fell asleep in a daze last night, she was woken up by her daughter-in-law.

She originally wanted to lose her temper, but her daughter-in-law whispered in her ear that her home had been broken into.

At least three groups of people came in one night.

Her daughter-in-law said she saw with her own eyes that the three groups of people all covered their faces with rags and were all sneaking around.

When Mrs. Ma heard this, her heart palpitated and she was trembling with fear. She no longer had any luck.

She married Chen Dazhu as a child bride at the age of ten. How could she not know what the situation in Chenjia Village was like?
Tell her that the countryside in this place is a land that eats people without spitting out their bones!
Women here are all good things that can be sold at a high price.The men with no conscience are watching.

A woman without a man by her side, even if she is cutting wheat in her own field, will be caught by those in the village who have wives or not, drag her into the fields and rape her because of her carelessness.

Nowadays etiquette cannibalize people.

When a woman is bullied by a man, or even by a group of men, she usually doesn't talk about it.Unless she's a powerful vixen.

Only a shrew with a ruthless temper, coupled with a tall and strong body like his daughter-in-law, would make men dare not have such evil thoughts in broad daylight.

However, if she and her daughter-in-law were really the only ones in her daughter's room last night, then her daughter-in-law alone would not be able to defeat those three groups of men!

Now, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and a little granddaughter are hiding in Shuanzi's house... they can indeed be safe for a while.

However, there are only a few teenage children in Shuanzi's family now, and the rest are useless women, children, old and young. If what happened last night really happened, it probably wouldn't work!

While Ma was thinking about this, Chen Xiaoer and Chen Xiaosan finally lured Chen Feiyan's natal family over.

This time it was Chen Feiyan's father, her eldest brother, and the eight nephews who came back last time.

A dozen men were walking on the village road in Chenjia Village, and the villagers with eyes were watching.

When they thought of Shuanzi's daughter-in-law and her mother's family coming so many, those who originally wanted to quietly go to her house to steal something tonight gave up their thoughts.

Don't look at teenagers, they are not as strong as adult men.

But these boys were more ruthless than anyone else when they really started to attack.

If you go up against a group of young people, you may not be able to win.

Besides, if you steal things at night, you can only do it quietly.Even if all the female members of his family were kidnapped and sold, they could only do it quietly.It must not be put on the bright side.Otherwise, this matter will definitely offend the clan leader and clan elders.When the time comes and the ancestral hall is opened, none of them will be able to escape being beaten with the rod.They were even removed from the list and driven out of the village.

……

Chen Feiyan's father and eldest brother, after entering Chen Feiyan's yard, first looked at the growth of the vegetables she planted.

Then, under Chen Feiyan's surprised gaze, he took out two small wild boars full of patterns from his backpack.

"Daughter, look what I brought you today?"

Before Chen Feiyan could speak, her eldest brother said excitedly: "Little sister, good things have been happening in our village during this time."

"A few days ago, a herd of wild boars passed by the mountain behind our village. Several of your cousins ​​and I, as well as an uncle from the clan, met us, and we quickly made a plan to dig traps and pull slingshots. , it was archery or something, we chased and intercepted them, and finally caught all those pigs!"

"There are 23 pigs in total! Two adult sows and one big boar with tusks. Those two sows brought more than a dozen cubs. We sold the three adult pigs in the village for money, and the four families divided them equally. The dozen We also divided the piglets equally. Because I had the most credit and contributed the most, I got five piglets in total."

After saying this, Chen Feiyan's eldest brother hugged her little daughter in his arms.

"Little sister, after you got married, your parents and us have been thinking about you! No, our family has a total of five piglets, and dad carried two of them for you."

Chen Feiyan looked at the two grunting little pied-skinned wild boars in front of her, and she felt excited.

"Dad, brother, I know you are thinking of me and doing it for my own good."

"Come on, come on. Did you have a hard time walking all this way? Come in and sit down. I'll pour you a cup of hot tea."

After hearing this, Chen Feiyan's father waved his hand: "Daughter, what are you drinking hot tea for? Don't waste firewood."

Chen Feiyan smiled and said: "Dad, you are an older person, and your stomach is not as good as that of young people. If you can't drink cold water, you have to drink hot tea."

"Dad~, big brother~, I recently made a delicious biscuit, would you like to try it?"

With that said, Chen Feiyan went to the cupboard and dug out the lard and wheat pancakes she made for her husband and son last time.

After putting the biscuits in a clean small bowl, she took out a few salted duck eggs and placed them on the Kang table.

"Dad, brother, are you hungry? You eat this first to fill your stomach, and I will make you a bowl of bacon rice."

As soon as he said this, Chen Feiyan's father and eldest brother's stomachs began to growl.

During this time, the family was in a state of disarray because of the imperial court's requisition of civilian husbands.

There were several quarrels at home over this matter.

I can't eat well, I can't sleep well.

Sitting here now, smelling the fragrant tea made with a few hawthorn slices, and the wheat cakes on the kang table that smelled like lard, Chen Feiyan's father and elder brother couldn't help but reach out and eat everything on the table. .

"Daughter, you made this pancake well. I soaked it in the tea soup, and soon the lard seeds came out. I drank a big bowl full of it, not to mention that I was very full!"

Chen Feiyan’s eldest brother likes to chew wheat cakes and drink hot tea.

He felt that his sister's cooking skills seemed to be getting better and better.

I don’t know how to make this wheat pancake, but it tastes very fragrant.It tastes moist and doesn't get stuck in your throat.
