Chapter 22 No Food



The night passed in chaos. Because they had to build a kang and repair the wall today, old Mrs. Yang managed to let everyone have three meals a day in winter, which was rare.

Moreover, there was meat to eat early in the morning. It was the meat in the basket that Yuan and the others brought back yesterday. It was heated up in the morning, and the whole family was very satisfied with the meal.

Of course, this does not include Xiao Yang, who broke her sister-in-law's leg. She will not have any share in the three meals today.

She couldn't eat until the night of the day after tomorrow, but there would be no meals the day after tomorrow, so she had to wait until noon the day after tomorrow.

Being beaten and scolded in Lao Fu's house was not considered a punishment at all. Not being beaten or scolded but not being allowed to eat was the heaviest punishment. Moreover, she had to -

"Fourth brother's wife, it's time for breakfast."

Little Yang walked into the big house carrying a bowl of pure white noodles and a bowl of meat and vegetables.

He carefully helped Wang up, put the table in place, placed the noodles and meat in front of Xiao Yang, and poured her a bowl of water.

Wang glared at her angrily and ate her meal in big mouthfuls. She couldn't even taste the delicious food. Before she had even finished half of the meal, Wang shouted angrily:

“Get out of here!

You're ruining such a good meal by just standing here!"

Little Yang nodded guiltily:

"Okay, I'll come back to collect it after you finish eating."

Then he quickly nodded and bowed and retreated.

That's right, not only did Xiao Yang have to starve, but before Wang recovered completely, Xiao Yang had to bring her meals and water, as well as clean clothes for her to change into and wipe her body and go to the toilet.

In short, during this period, Xiao Yang had to work like a slave and take care of Wang without complaint. She should not think of herself as someone else's sister-in-law anymore. She could only think of herself as someone else's slave.

This punishment is not too severe. After all, Doctor Zhang secretly told Old Futou and his wife and Fu Sibai before he left yesterday that -

"Her leg is injured on top of the injury. After she recovers, she will most likely be lame.

It won't affect her work, but if she walks too fast it might not look good, so you'd better prepare her mentally!"

Although Wang has given birth to two children, she is only nineteen years old this year. She was a pretty girl before she got married, and a pretty young wife after she got married.

Both she and Li were good-looking, and this was recognized by everyone in the village before they got married.

Now she has been crushed by Little Yang into a beautiful cripple. If it weren't for the fact that people will die of hunger, Old Yang would even hope that she would never eat again in her life.

The most hateful thing is that after Xiao Yang found out about this, she actually went to tell Wang something without paying attention:

“I’m sorry, don’t worry, Fourth Sister-in-law. When you become lame, I will support you wherever you want to go.

I can make you a few crutches so you can take turns using them. Wooden sticks are ugly, so if I had money, I would definitely make you a gold one!

Woohoo, my fourth brother and sister~"

Wang was so furious that she grabbed her and started scratching her. If her legs and feet were not weak, she would have torn her to pieces.

Old Futou and his wife and Fu Sibai: ...Guess what! Can we wait until she gets better before telling her?

In short, considering all the things that Xiao Yang had done, she deserved to starve to death, let alone starve for three days.

At worst, I could cook her a bowl of golden rice when the family has money, but old Mrs. Yang is not that cruel after all.

After this incident happened at home, the joy of getting a wild boar was washed away by bad luck.

After the meal, Mrs. Yang asked her two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao, who were easy to take care of and didn't cause any trouble, to deliver the meat to the families who had helped yesterday.

Fu Dabai and his brothers were busy building walls and setting up kangs, while old Yang and old Fu Tou were watching on the side.

A Yuan and the other kids were full and had no one to look after them, so they had to play together, but not all of them did.

Niu Wa and Xingzi had to go to the big house to see their mother. Even if Wang was in a bad mood at the moment, they would stay by her bedside.

As Wang looked at the two of them, she couldn't help but hug them and burst into tears.

Dalang and Erlang from the second room had to stay in the house to help the adults take care of their younger sister Fubao. Wulang Laimei and Liulang Xianmei saw that their two brothers did not go out, so they did not want to go out either.

The four brothers stared at this lucky girl who was praised so much by her parents. After looking at her for a while, they actually felt that... she was indeed a little cute.

Although she took their parents away, their parents wouldn't have liked them that much without her, so does that count as her fault?

Apart from the children who had other things to do, the only ones playing outside were Sanlang Hutou and Silang Hunao from the third room, the eldest cousin Futuzi and Yuan from the first room!

But Hutouhuonao was already seven years old and considered himself a man. He refused to hang out with the little girls and soon ran out to find other children in the village.

Floating Rabbit hesitantly grabbed Yuan's hand:

"Let's go find Lian Niang and Nian Niang!"

As a five-year-old child who is the same age as Lian Niang and Nian Niang, Rabbit is of course their friend, but not as close to them as Yuan.

Yuan hadn't seen them for a long time since they last parted, and he missed them a little, so he happily left hand in hand with Rabbit.

Rabbit also breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since she and Xingzi ate up all of Yuan's meat buns, the two of them had never played together again.

She was not like Xingzi and Yuan who would forget as soon as they said they would, and she could not control herself. She was always envious of Yuan's food, so she was too embarrassed to look for Yuan. Now the two of them could play together again, and Rabbit was very happy.

Yuan's memory isn't very good, and a lot of things have happened in the past few days, so he has almost forgotten about the steamed buns incident.

On the contrary, he remembered the last time he climbed the wall more clearly, so he told the rabbit about it:

“Last time, Lian Niang and Nian Niang took me to climb the wall to see Aunt Song’s Song Guanyin, who is Aunt Song’s son.

They said she was very beautiful, but I was so scared that I couldn’t see clearly.

My mother told me not to climb the wall anymore. I don’t know if I can see again.

In fact, if I don’t have to climb the wall, I’d still like to take a look! ”

A Yuan smacked his lips with some regret.

Rabbit hadn't been out for a long time, and she didn't know anything about this:

"Isn't Aunt Song's son in the county? Why is he back?"

Yuan didn't quite understand it either, so he scratched his head and said uncertainly:

“It seems that it’s because he bites people without rinsing his mouth, and there is ash in his stomach?

I don’t really understand, but I’m back anyway!”
