Wei Rou was unwilling to work. Even if her mother asked her to do it, she would not do it and stayed in her room most of the time.

And the most direct way for Wei's mother to deal with Wei Rou is to not give Wei Rou food.

Every time it was time for dinner, Wei's mother never prepared any meal for Wei Rou.

She saw that there was no portion for her on the table, while her brothers and sisters-in-law each held a bowl and ate with big mouthfuls, without raising their heads or even looking at her.

Wei Rou's face was slightly gloomy.

Mother Wei also held the bowl and snorted coldly, saying, "You want to eat without working? Ha."

"If you want to have food to eat, you can agree to marry the second boy of the Yang family."

"I said, I won't get married and I won't get married!" Wei Rou remained firm in her attitude. She endured the hunger in her stomach, turned around and left back to her room.

Wei Rou was hungry. After returning to her room, she started looking for food and finally found some peach cakes in the box.

She looked at the peach pastry in front of her for a while before slowly putting it into her mouth.

Maybe because it has been stored for some time, the peach cake has become a little soft.

But it still tastes good.

This was the peach cake that Xu Fanghua gave her before she and Xu Fanghua had a falling out. Peach cake was a rare thing, and Wei Rou had never eaten it since she was a child.

It was only after I became good sisters and friends with Xu Fanghua that I knew what peach pastry tasted like because of the gift from Xu Fanghua.

After falling out with Xu Fanghua, she forgot about the peach pastry for a while.

Wei Rou viewed everything Xu Fanghua gave her with sarcasm.

After the falling out, he didn't plan to use Xu Fanghua's things anymore.

However, she didn't expect that she now had to rely on the peach cakes Xu Fanghua had given her to make herself less hungry.

Come to think of it, it’s really ironic!

It’s a good thing Xu Fanghua wasn’t here, otherwise if she saw it, she wouldn’t know how she would laugh at me.

Wei Rou ate a piece of peach cake, which barely stifled her hunger, and then she didn't dare eat any more, for fear that she would eat it all at once and then have nothing to eat when she got hungry again.

Moreover, Wei Rou knew that if Wei's mother would starve her for one meal, she would starve her for two meals, three meals...

Until she compromised.

As for the question of whether she would be hungry or starve to death.

Wei Rou thought that this might never have been within her mother's consideration.

This is Wei Rou’s mother, a mother who could deliberately starve her own daughter.

If it were Xu Fanghua’s mother, she would definitely not do this.

So, Xu Fanghua, tell me, how can I not envy and be jealous of you.

As it turned out, Wei Rou understood Wei's mother.

In the next two days, Wei's mother not only ordered that no one be allowed to cook for her, but also added another lock to the cabinet where the grain was stored.

At the same time, he told Wei Rou's sisters not to give Wei Rou anything to eat, otherwise he would beat them.

As for Wei Rou's younger brother, Wei's mother did not give any instructions.

Because this only son is a man who never gives out, he doesn't care about his older sisters.

Even under the years of indoctrination by Wei's mother, Wei Tianbao regarded his sisters as tools to be married off for money in the future, and the money would either be used as a dowry for him to marry a wife or to buy a job in the city.

Wei Jinbao naturally had no feelings for tools, and he didn't even have much affection for his mother, Wei's mother. He was completely raised by her to be selfish and only care about himself in everything.

As for Wei Rou's sisters, perhaps because they were all daughters of the Wei family and shared the same suffering, they usually had a pretty good relationship with Wei Rou.

She has been living under the pressure of her mother, Wei's mother, for many years, living timidly and cautiously.

In the past two days, when Wei Rou was hungry, she would eat a bite or two of peach cakes, and then drink more water to force herself not to be so hungry.

But I'm still hungry.

Because of hunger, Wei Rou's condition was not very good and she had little strength.

Wei Rou frowned as she ate the last piece of peach cake.

The peach cake was gone, what should she do next? Wei Rou touched her stomach. She was not a person who liked to sit and wait for death, nor did she intend to starve herself to death.

"It seems like I have to find a way to find something to eat." Wei Rou murmured.

At night, it was quiet and everyone had gone to bed. It was dark all around, with only a little light from the moon.

In the room, Wei Rou opened her eyes, then covered her stomach, got out of bed, and tiptoed towards the kitchen.

Wei Rou knew that the food in the house was either kept in the cellar by her mother and locked up, or kept in a cabinet and also locked up.

If there is any food, it is also placed in the cabinet.

Tonight, Wei's mother stewed fish, which was a rare occasion. The fish soup was very fragrant, and the hungry Wei Rou could smell it immediately even though she was staying in the room.

However, the only people who can drink this fish soup are Wei's father, Wei's mother, and Wei Tianbao.

Mr. Wei is a silent and eccentric person. He is like an invisible man at home and cannot make decisions. Everything is managed and decided by Mrs. Wei.

However, his attitude towards favoring boys over girls, being selfish, and wanting to exchange her daughter for a dowry was the same as that of Wei's mother.

Therefore, Wei Rou never considered asking her father for help.

Because they are useless, her parents are the same kind of people.

Wei Rou was searching in the kitchen. She knew that there was some leftover fish soup from tonight, and it was probably what Wei's mother wanted to save for Wei Tianbao to drink tomorrow.

As this guess came to mind, Wei Rou's face turned cold.

Since the fish soup was not found anywhere else in the kitchen, Wei Rou knew that the remaining fish soup must have been locked in the cabinet by Wei's mother.

Looking at the locked cabinet, if it wasn't late at night and any noise would wake the sleeping people up, she would be discovered. Otherwise, she would pick up a stone and smash the lock.

"What should I do..." Wei Rou covered her stomach. If she continued to be hungry, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.

"Big sister." At this moment, a childish female voice suddenly sounded behind her, instantly scaring Wei Rou.

Wei Rou turned around and found that it was her third sister who slept in the same room with her.

Wei Rou's third sister is fourteen years old this year.

In Wei Rou's impression, this third sister is the most taciturn and timid among all the sisters in the family. She usually stays silent at home and is the most hardworking and conscientious in doing things.

Wei Rou looked down on such a third sister.

"Sanniu, why did you wake up and why did you come here?" Wei Rou asked.

"Big, big sister, are you hungry? Want to find something to eat?" This was the longest sentence Wei Sanmei had ever said to Wei Rou.

"I have the key." Wei Sanmei took the key out of her arms.

Under the moonlight, Wei Rou saw clearly that the key on the rope in front of her was the key her mother usually used to lock the kitchen cabinet.

"How did you get this?" Wei Rou snatched the key and looked at it.

"I stole it."
