As soon as Zhao Chunhua opened her eyes, she transmigrated into a vicious old woman despised by her children and grandchildren.
On the path of escape during a disaster, seeing her take her la...
Chapter 210: Separation
For safety reasons, she did not place any form of open flame heating facilities such as charcoal braziers in the bedroom. After all, anything that involves the use of open flames always requires extra attention.
In the main room, there is a charcoal brazier that is kept warm at all times. The doors and windows are opened during the day to ensure fresh air circulation indoors. When it is late at night and everyone in the family is about to go to sleep, no new fuel is added to maintain the fire.
After completing her daily cleaning work, Zhao Chunhua usually puts on an old piece of clothing that she rarely wears as an outer layer to avoid dirtying her beautiful clothes.
Only after all the work is finished will Zhao Chunhua slowly walk to the screen, take off the "protective clothing", gently hang it on a hook on one side, stretch her hands and feet, and then finally step onto the path leading to the bedroom to prepare for bed.
At this moment, in an inconspicuous farmer's family not far away, a girl with a slightly old-fashioned hairstyle suddenly opened her eyes.
She was lying in a messy pile of hay at this time. After looking around to make sure that no one noticed her unusual behavior, she quietly took out a mysterious emerald green bottle from her hiding place, unscrewed the lid, and slowly poured the liquid in it into the depths of her throat - all this was because her body was too weak to bear the burden.
Although the girl looked very slender and weak, her clear and bright eyes flashed with an unusual firmness...
The next morning, when Zhao Chunhua was about to wash her hands to make pig blood tofu, Shu Hong ran over excitedly, pulled her hand and kept urging her to go to the village to see the excitement.
"What's the good news?"
Zhao Chunhua was thinking about the work at hand, but felt reluctant to leave because it was too cold outside, and there was a hint of hesitation in her tone.
"It's like this, something happened in Li Zhaodi's family."
Shu Hong couldn't wait to say, "Her daughter-in-law asked for a division of the family. As you know, everyone doesn't have a very good impression of Li Zhaodi, but I didn't expect that this time, she would actually hit someone."
"Oh, you know what?"
Shu Hong continued excitedly, "The woman's forehead was cut open and bleeding profusely. Then Li Zhaodi just put some ash on the wound to stop the bleeding, and then locked the injured daughter-in-law in the woodshed. How cruel!"
"To be honest, that child is lucky. It's incredible that he can still survive with such serious injuries."
Shu Hong sighed, "But it is said that she has lost her memory and keeps clamoring to separate the family, refusing to accept the current situation."
After hearing this, Zhao Chunhua felt a tightness in her heart.
She didn't think it was pure good luck, but more like a typical plot in the story.
Thinking of the changes he had experienced, he was lucky enough to retain the memories of the original owner; but this woman's situation seemed to be that her soul traveled through time and space, and she happened to suffer a serious head injury, so she claimed that she had forgotten everything on the grounds of amnesia.
Based on her previous experience, Zhao Chunhua speculated that this woman was most likely not a character in the book; but someone who came into this world just like her.
Even so, Zhao Chunhua still had no intention of getting involved in this turmoil.
She has a gentle temperament, is indifferent to fame and fortune, and just wants to live a quiet life.
She was also very curious about what kind of personality the new neighbor who was also in a strange place would have.
But if the other person is indeed just a girl from an ordinary family, then there is no need to go and watch the fun in person.
Anyway, with Shu Hong, the well-informed little newsboy, around, we will be the first to know any news that happens in the village.
In this way, wouldn't it be more comfortable and relaxing to listen to others tell stories while roasting a fire and drinking tea at home?
“It’s really miserable, but it’s really inconvenient for me to go out.
"Zhao Chunhua shook her head, with a look of helplessness in her eyes," It's too much trouble to bring the child with me. I guess by the time we get there, the whole thing will have been settled.
Just go ahead and come back and tell me the details.
”
Shu Hong thought about it and it did make sense.
It’s okay for adults to be cold for a while, but children cannot stand the cold.
Thinking that Zhao Chunhua might catch a cold if she took Xiao Shitou out, she gave up the idea of taking Zhao Chunhua to watch the fun. Instead, she hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Chunhua, closed the yard door for her, and rushed to join in the fun.
After watching Shu Hong leave, Zhao Chunhua shook her head and sighed softly.
She let Xiao Shitou play on the bamboo couch, and she began to move the necessary tools and materials into the main room.
After preparing everything, she put on gloves and started making pig blood tofu.
Last night, she had scooped the prepared tofu into a colander to drain.
Now you can take it out and use it.
Unlike making sausages, pig blood tofu also requires pork, and the general ratio is 70% fat and 30% lean.
In this cold weather, the fat in fresh pork, especially the fatty part, has solidified slightly, making it easier to cut.
She chopped the pork into stuffing, crushed the tofu in a bowl, then added pig blood, salt and five-spice powder and mixed them together.
Then, she spread a layer of straw on the sieve, rolled the mixed pig blood and tofu into fist-sized balls, arranged them neatly one by one, and placed them on the bacon rack.
After being smoked for ten days or half a month, the pig blood tofu will become dark red and black in appearance, with the aroma of fruit wood, and those who love it will eat it with relish.
Whether you wash it, slice it and steam it, or use it for stir-frying, it tastes great.
After making this batch of pig blood tofu, Zhao Chunhua carefully washed the tools with hot water and put them away for next use.
As soon as she finished cleaning up, Shu Hong returned home with the latest news, excitedly preparing to share it with Zhao Chunhua.
"Li Zhaodi is such a scoundrel. Her daughter-in-law still has such a big wound on her head, but she is eager to kick her out and won't give her anything. She won't even give her a decent piece of clothing."
Zhao Chunhua was very surprised: "Didn't they say they were going to split up the family? Doesn't the Li family care about the youngest son?"
There was disbelief in her tone.
Speaking of this, Shu Hong was even more furious: "The Li family kid is in cahoots with Li Zhaodi. They have no intention of seeking justice for the young wife. The young wife has not given birth to a child in more than a year of marriage. I heard that she was pregnant once before, but the pregnancy was too early, so they ruthlessly aborted it. They are so inhumane."
"Now they may think that the daughter-in-law's body was damaged by the beating and it is difficult for her to get pregnant, so the youngest son of the Li family followed Li Zhaodi and wanted to drive the young daughter-in-law away and replace her with a daughter-in-law who can give birth. This mother and son are so cold-blooded and heartless, it makes people angry."
Zhao Chunhua was shocked after hearing this.
She simply couldn't believe that there were such cruel and cold-blooded people in the world.
"Is the Li family rich? Doesn't it cost money to marry a wife?"
She asked in confusion, not understanding why the couple could treat a helpless woman so unscrupulously.
