Can anyone relate? How did I wake up and find myself time-traveled? Couldn't they have made me a princess? Who is so unlucky to be reborn as a country girl with a child out of wedlock?
Fo...
Hearing what Zhen Lao Da said, Zhen Lao Er frowned deeply. Had this woman caused trouble again?
Wang Cuihua, holding Da Ni's hand, stood behind Zhen Fugui, secretly gloating. Serves him right!
The second son's wife always takes advantage of the fact that she is pregnant with twins and is a great contributor to Lao Zhen's family, and often acts arrogantly and domineeringly towards her. However, Old Mrs. Li loves to play along with this, and she has suffered for a long time.
The twins and Tiger stood together, unable to contain their desire to eat. They ran up to Grandma Li and said nice things, hoping to get their hands on the pancakes as soon as possible.
Seeing his son begging for food, Zhen Lao Er felt a pang of guilt. He couldn't earn money to support his parents or raise his children; he was no man at all!
Tiger and Da Ni and Er Ni's stomachs were rumbling loudly. Hearing the twins' words, they swallowed hard. They also really wanted to eat pancakes and meat buns!
The adults certainly wouldn't believe the child's nonsense; they just assumed that Grandma Li had something important to say, so she brought the child over.
After looking around to make sure no one was watching, Old Lady Li called the group together and took out the pancakes that Zhen Wanwan had given her.
Hiss~~
Aside from those who already knew, everyone else gasped. Zhen Lao Er hurriedly asked, "Mother, where did you get these flatbreads?"
Wang Cuihua was also confused. When they were at home, they clearly only made a pot of wild vegetable buns and didn't make anything with white flour. Where did her mother-in-law get the buns?
Could it have been bought in town?
"Keep your voice down. This cake was given to you by your sister. Don't ask any more questions. Just eat whatever you're given."
Grandma Li didn't intend to give them a detailed explanation.
Those present put aside their curiosity, and the children's mouths watered; the pancakes must smell delicious!
Not to mention the children, even the adults couldn't help but swallow hard. Before the war, they could go to the government every month to collect some coarse rice.
They could occasionally eat their fill, but the government stopped distributing grain a month before the war, so they didn't dare to eat as much of their meager food as they wanted.
Sometimes, Grandma Li would soak brown rice and wild vegetables in water to make do with what she had to eat. How could she possibly feel full with such a watery meal?
Grandma Li estimated the number of people in her mind, set aside nearly half of the nine large pancakes, and then divided one large pancake into five small portions, each only about half the size of an adult's palm.
The five children watched longingly as their grandmother divided the cakes.
Grandma Li didn't ramble on; she distributed the cakes equally among the children, who quickly stuffed them into their mouths as soon as they received them.
Grandma Li then divided the two large pancakes in half again, and then broke the remaining pancake into three pieces.
The four larger pieces were given to Zhen's eldest son, Zhen's second son, Grandpa Zhen, and Zhen Wanwan, while she and her two daughters-in-law took the three smaller pieces.
After the distribution was finished, she gave her two daughters-in-law a few words of advice: "If you two are eating biscuits and then go around talking nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite! This is what Wanwan gave to the family, so you should take the bigger one. Three men have to do physical labor, so you should eat your fill too..."
Seeing the two nod, she said nothing more, and the family silently ate their pancakes in the corner.
"Grandma, this pancake smells so good!"
"Milk, there's meat in the pancake!"
"Milk, it's so delicious, so delicious!"
...
To be honest, Grandma Li was also shocked. How could it be filled with meat? And the meat pie looked thin-skinned, but it was very filling!
After receiving her share of the cake, Zhen Wanwan didn't say much. Although she had already eaten breakfast, she quietly ate with everyone else.
Unexpectedly, the meat pies in this space were more filling than those bought in modern times.
After she finished eating, she had a little left, which she shared with the children who were watching her expectantly.
The Zhen brothers finished eating quickly, but they weren't full yet. When Grandma Li saw this, she just remained silent, secretly planning to secretly give them another pancake later.
After eating and drinking their fill, Zhenjia leaned against a stone bench and closed her eyes to rest for a while, as they still had several hours to walk!
"Get up and get ready to leave. Pack your things and follow the order arranged this morning."
The escort agency began going door-to-door to remind people, but the families they were reminding had all paid money. This trip could earn them a lot of money, and they could rest for a while after delivering the person to Leling Prefecture.
The wealthy family still led the way, with guards surrounding the carriage to protect the people inside.
This time, the Zhen family followed behind the goods escorted by Lin the镖头 (bodyguard) and others, only a few steps away from the Lin family's carriage. Lin's wife, sitting in the donkey cart, greeted Zhen Wanwan, and the two smiled at each other.
Zhen Wanwan listened to the advice and sat in the empty seat specially reserved for her on the donkey cart. As expected, someone else couldn't stand it and came looking for trouble.
"Oh dear, I don't know which sister-in-law is so shameless, how can an adult fight with a child for a seat?"
The twins insisted on riding in the donkey cart, and Li Zhenzhen didn't mind, so she brought them over. Unexpectedly, Zhen Wanwan had already gotten on, and she immediately felt that her sister-in-law was so inconsiderate, taking a seat from a child.
Zhen Wanwan was quite angry after being teased by her second sister-in-law several times. She really couldn't tolerate this kind of person; if she gave in, she would only bully her even more.
"Who's as shameless as you? Why can't I ride in my car? If you have time to be sarcastic, why don't you buy one yourself!"
Zhen Wanwan didn't want to beat around the bush. She was the one who paid for it, and she didn't want to be told to get off the bus just because she wanted to sit there.
"A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; if you want to use Lao Zhen's car, you'll have to put up with our attitude!" Li Zhenzhen was not convinced at all. How could she have encountered such a strange sister-in-law?
Zhen Wanwan was so angry she laughed; her shamelessness was truly unmatched.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Zhenzhen was annoyed by the twins' crying and fussing. The two of them had snot all over their faces and were smeared on her, but she didn't seem to mind the mess.
"I'm laughing at your thick skin. I bought this car, and I don't need to worry about your feelings if I want to ride in it!" Zhen Wanwan chose a comfortable spot to lie down. She even secretly took a cushion from her spatial storage to put under her bottom. It was soft and comfortable.
"You bought it? Even a dog wouldn't believe it." Li Zhenzhen's voice was so loud that many people around looked over, which gave her more confidence to rebuke Zhen Wanwan.
"The world has changed. The younger sister-in-law is hogging her mother's donkey cart and even scolding her sister-in-law. What kind of logic is this..." The people around her watched Li Zhenzhen's feigned crying and didn't want to get involved. Who had time to care about other people's messy affairs now? They just wanted to watch the show.
Since no one egged her on, and Zhen Wanwan pretended to be dead and didn't talk back, it was just a one-woman show for her. As the performance went on, people really started to think that Zhen Wanwan was a vicious sister-in-law.
"My life is so miserable, how did I end up marrying into such a family..."
Li Zhenzhen's family was planning to come and establish a connection with Zhen's family so they could look after each other on the way. However, upon arrival, they saw their daughter being wronged and being bullied by her husband's younger sister, who was making her cry.
