As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...
We don't want your second uncle's share, we only want Zhaodi's share. Even if we get caught, it won't matter."
Fan Sanzhu nodded, "Yes, Father is right. I'll go find Zhaodi and give it a try when it gets dark."
Anyway, Zhao Di will definitely not go hungry at her second aunt's house.
Fan Sizhu thought his third brother was really stupid.
The walls around Second Aunt's house are so high, and Zhao Di's legs are injured, so she needs help to walk. She definitely doesn't need to do any work.
Since he doesn't come out to work, how can Third Brother see Zhao Di?
But this has nothing to do with him, since he doesn't need to go. If it's time to eat, he'll get his share.
Thinking of food and Ding Jiajia who could earn money, he looked at his parents and said, "Father and Mother, I don't mind marrying into the Ding family. You can go and tell them that I am willing to marry into the Ding family, as long as they provide me with food and drink from now on!"
Fan Sanzhu almost choked to death on his own saliva!
He looked straight at his younger brother, surprised by his decisiveness.
Sun Jinhua was also taken aback, and immediately slapped her son on the back, scolding, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
You have three older brothers; if you're going to get married, it'll be before them!
Fan Sanzhu breathed a sigh of relief. His eldest and second brothers would definitely not agree. If they were willing, he would definitely go first, even though he was ahead of the four pillars.
Fan Qian frowned upon hearing his son's words about marrying into the family, feeling displeased.
However, life at home was not easy. The fields yielded no harvest this year, and he didn't know what the harvest would be like next year. He had no mood to care about these children.
Let them make a fuss. Maybe they'll even bring back the Ding family's fortune later, which would be even better.
The family members had different thoughts, but they all tacitly agreed that it was acceptable for him to marry into the Ding family.

Dragging goods along bumpy dirt roads in the sweltering heat is by no means an easy task.
Having avoided the sweltering midday heat, the convoy set off again.
After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived at the border between Guangning Prefecture and Nanning Prefecture before dark.
They found a sheltered, well-ventilated open space, and everyone began preparing for the coming night.
First, gather all the vehicles on one side, which makes them easy to watch over and also serves as a form of protection.
After leveling the ground, spread a layer of dry grass on it, place fine firewood on top, and burn it for a while. This will effectively remove moisture and dampness from the soil.
After the flood, everywhere smelled damp and musty, especially the ground. The dew was heavy at night, and if you slept on the damp ground, you might catch a cold the next day.
After the fire died down, the ashes and glowing embers were all moved into a nearby pit, and then firewood was added to boil water for cooking.
The ground was dry and clean after the fire, and you could sleep directly on a reed mat that you had brought.
Everyone else worked together, and after finishing their own part, they would sit and rest while waiting for dinner. Only Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu were busy from beginning to end.
Gathering firewood, starting a fire, boiling water, cooking food... everything had to be done by oneself, and the food cooked was noticeably less fragrant than what was served at noon.
"Mom is really something. Everyone else's noodles are stir-fried, and they smell delicious as soon as you pour boiling water over them. But ours are still raw noodles, and we have to boil them, so they're not even sweet or fragrant," Fan Erzhu couldn't help but complain.
Fan Dazhu could also tell the difference.
They all have dark faces, and they all live the same lives, so why is there such a big difference between our family and others?
As the men in the group took out cucumbers and melons and started eating them, the fresh aroma filled the air, and Fan Dazhu and Fan Erzhu's dissatisfaction with their own family reached its peak.
