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

When Chen Yixuan entered the room, Chen Feiyan couldn't help but look them up and down.

After not seeing each other for so many days, the little meat they had managed to gain had actually lost weight.

He was also extremely thin and frightening.

After Chen Yixuan took the bowl of steaming porridge from Chen Feiyan's hand, he hurriedly took a big sip.

Well, that’s what it smells like, it’s so fragrant!
When he was away from home, he was thinking about his wife's craftsmanship. Outside, he eats cold food and drinks cold water every day. The sleeping area is also a cold and shabby mat.

Thinking of this, Chen Yixuan couldn't help but confide in Chen Feiyan.

"Daughter-in-law, I have been away for so many days, and I have found that there are many people who are poorer than us!"

Chen Yixing had already finished a large bowl. I also ate two boiled goose eggs in a row.

With his stomach full and sitting on the warm kang, he had the energy and leisure to chat with Chen Feiyan and his wife Wang Yingying.

"Isn't that right? After we went to the river embankment, we saw many people wearing only crotch-covering pants. They didn't even have any clothes or trousers. Some of them didn't even bring their own dry food. Those government officials are all powerful. The whip would be whipped on anyone who looked displeased. Every one of them was whipped until they were covered in blood. I even got whipped by someone accidentally."

When Wang Yingying heard this, she immediately became anxious.

"Where is it? Take off your clothes quickly and show me?"

Chen Yixing stopped her with a smile. "Daughter-in-law, don't worry. We'll be fine!"

"I was quick-sighted and avoided it."

After saying this, Chen Yixing continued: "This time I went to do labor service, and I saw a lot of women among them. I asked some people, and they said that their family had nothing to do, and their parents were much older. , unable to do anything. The children in the family are young, let alone do heavy work. The government said that each household should have at least three people, but they couldn't make it up, so they had to ask their wives to do the job..."

Chen Feiyan was stunned after hearing this.

"But...we women are usually women with bound feet. How can we carry hundreds of kilograms of sand?"

Chen Feiyan always felt that her elder brother was talking nonsense.

However, Chen Yixuan suddenly spoke and confirmed what he said: "Daughter-in-law, what my brother said is true. At that time, I witnessed with my own eyes dozens of women with small feet carrying sand and mud in the water, walking from the river bank to the embankment . I go back and forth a dozen times a day to pick."

When Wang Yingying heard this, she was extremely excited: "It's like me. If you ask me to carry hundreds of kilograms of sand and run more than ten times a day, it will kill me!"

"Those women's men are so worthless, aren't they?! Why don't they think about whether their wives can handle it or not?"

Hearing this, Chen Yixing sighed deeply: "Isn't that right? They were all lucky on the first day, thinking that their wives could survive it. However, two women died on the first night. They were both They are in their early teens." Chen Yuan on the side frowned and asked, "How did they die?"

Seeing that it was her who interrupted, Chen Yixing replied helplessly: "Those women are not even taller than my chest. They are as skinny as the diced radish pickled by my sister-in-law. How can they be strong? Forced. They work for a day and they’re exhausted!”

Wang Yingying heard this and put forward her own opinion: "I guess they are just like the wives in our village. They also have to do a lot of work on weekdays. Washing, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the family, these are all basic. Even if many of them have their feet bound, they still have to go to the fields to work with them. They don’t eat well, and they have to do a lot. After a long time, why don’t they die from exhaustion?”

After hearing this, Chen Yixuan nodded and said, "That's the truth."

Chen Yixing said helplessly: "...There is nothing we can do about them dying from exhaustion. It is not easy for ordinary people like us to live. Otherwise, every spring, autumn and winter in our village, so many families would put their own money in order to fill their stomachs." Is this old woman pawning off her body and belly?"

Seeing that the people sitting on the kang were silent, Chen Yixing said excitedly: "After all, the world is not good. If the world were better, and everyone among us people had food to eat and clothes to wear, who would want to Let your wife go out and sell it?"

Hearing what he said, Chen Yuan, who was sitting aside, suddenly said quietly: "Actually, you men are selling for money. Even if you are an ugly and old man, as long as you are willing to sell, you can at least exchange for a few steamed buns. eat."

These words were a bit explosive, and everyone present couldn't help but turn their heads to her.

Chen Yuan seemed surprised to see them, so she explained: "For thousands of years, our place has always favored boys over girls, and men have been superior to women. Many people think that girls are losers, and they are not willing to raise girls after they give birth to them. No, people People only want to have sons and not daughters, so there is a saying that "every family wants to have a daughter."

"There is only one girl in every hundred households. Those men who cannot marry a wife cannot stay dry forever. They have to reach out to others. Many people say that as long as it can quench their thirst, it doesn't matter whether it is a raw melon or a ripe melon. Melon, no matter if it is cucumber or loofah. Just because there are so many people who think this way, those idle men who are unwilling to do things and do hard work will do that kind of business in some restaurants in the county..."

This was the first time Chen Feiyan heard such a thing. Her eyes widened and she felt like her entire outlook had been shattered by her.

This... people in ancient times were too imaginative.

Noticing that her sister-in-law looked like she had never seen the world, Wang Yingying suddenly felt a strange sense of superiority.

She suddenly seemed to have remembered something, and shouted excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes! There is such a thing. I heard my parents tell me about it before."

Speaking of this, she said helplessly: "After all, they are also pitiful people! Who is really willing to do such a business? Isn't this world difficult?"

"People who have no land cannot afford food, clothing, or shelter. They have to live, right?"

Speaking of the increasingly difficult world, everyone present had red eyes one after another as they spoke.

Chen Yixing patted his chest with some pain and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, if I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I, your sister-in-law, and my son fled all the way back from Jiangnan, I thought on the way I have lost a lot of money to make a living. At that time, I was thinking, if you are not willing to take us in, or your life is too hard to take us in, I will sell myself to find a way for my wife and son to make a living... …”

Wang Yingying cried when she heard this.

"Who wants you to sell yourself? Without you in this family, how can we, mother and son, survive?... Wuwuwuwu, I just hope that you and our whole family will be well! As long as we If everyone in my family is safe, happy, healthy and long-lived, I will be satisfied.”
