Chapter 3 Life is not easy at my mother's home either



Speaking of the original body's family, Zhang Hulan really felt that the original body was blind and had a pig's brain.

Her original family did not agree with her marrying Chen Dalang. Not only was the family poor, but they had also found out from inquiries that the Chen family was not a good family.

As for what Zhang Hulan called ugly, Chen Dalang was actually not that ugly. It’s just that Zhang Hulan had seen too many handsome men.

The original body was really stupid, and she believed Chen Dalang's words when he said he would treat her well for the rest of her life.

The original body insisted on marrying Chen Dalang and had a big fight with her family, saying that if she was not allowed to marry, she would die in front of them.

The old woman of the Zhang family had no choice. She couldn't just watch her daughter die in front of them, so she just let her be.

When the original body married Chen Dalang, the Zhang family did not ask for a betrothal gift from the Chen family, nor did they ask for a dowry. At the wedding, no one from the Zhang family even showed up.

After the marriage, Chen Dalang's attitude changed completely, and he either beat or scolded the original body.

The original person also blamed himself, thinking it was because he did not give birth to a son.

Zhang Hulan really wanted to slap her original body a few times, but if she did so now, she would definitely be the one who would get hurt.

Zhang Hulan sighed and said, this woman must have her own opinions and brains.

In fact, she had misjudged the person and trusted him before, otherwise why would she be divorced?

Zhang Hulan was thinking about her original past, and Daya tore her own clothes to bandage the wound on Zhang Hulan's head.

San Ya asked, "Mom, where is grandma's house?"

Over the past ten years, the original body had returned to her parents' home at the beginning, but the old couple of the Zhang family were always angry and did not let the original body in.

Afterwards, the original body never went back. Calculating the time, it has been about seven or eight years.

Daya had been there once, but she was too young at the time and couldn't remember it.

Zhang Hulan said, "Your grandmother's house isn't too far away. We'll be there in about two hours."

“Gurgle…”

Sanya’s stomach growled a few times.

Zhang Hulan sighed. Not to mention the child, she was so hungry that she was seeing stars.

I didn’t eat anything last night, and I started fighting as soon as I got up in the morning. I also ran for a long time and the sun was very strong. Now I’m really thirsty and hungry.

"San Ya, just bear with it for now. There will be food when we get to grandma's house."

Zhang Hulan was unsure. If the Zhang family didn't let her in, she could only shamelessly stay there. She had to find a place to stay first.

"Mom, I'm not hungry." San Ya said softly with her head tilted back.

Zhang Hulan touched Sanya's head and said, "Silly child, how can you not be hungry? Mom is hungry too, but there is nothing I can do now. I can only bear it for now."

Sanya nodded obediently, "Yes, mother, let's go quickly."

After resting for a while and catching their breath, Zhang Hulan continued on their journey with the three maids.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Hulan suddenly stopped.

She looked at the pile of rocks on the side of the road, which were covered with vines.

Zhang Hulan's eyes lit up. "Wild sweet potatoes?"

She was also born in the countryside in the 1970s and had gone hungry as a child.

She often ran to the roadside or the woods to dig sweet potatoes to eat, which were sweet and delicious.

Zhang Hulan squatted down and pulled aside the vines to look for it. Wild sweet potatoes are divided into male and female. The male ones cannot be eaten, only the female ones can be eaten.

Zhang Hulan dug around for a while and found a purple-red fruit the size of a finger.

There was no water to wash it here, but fortunately it grew on a pile of rocks, so there wasn't much mud. Zhang Hulan rubbed it on her clothes for a few times and fed it to San Ya, "Sanyaya, eat quickly."

San Ya opened her mouth and took a bite, her eyes lit up immediately, "Mom, it's so sweet!"

“It tastes good!”

"Mmm, it's delicious!"

"Da Ya and Er Ya, stop standing there and look for the fruit quickly. Look for the ones like the ones I just saw. The ones with lots of small bumps on them are inedible."

Four people, one adult and three children, lay on the ground digging for wild sweet potatoes. When they found one, they rubbed it on their clothes and stuffed it into their mouths.

There were a lot of wild sweet potato vines in this area, and the four of them dug them up for half an hour before they stopped.

Each person ate dozens of wild sweet potatoes, which filled their stomachs and gave them strength, and then they continued on their journey.

Zhang Hulan was not afraid of crossing mountains and rivers because she still had the kitchen knife in her hand.

In the afternoon, they finally arrived at their original mother's home, Daping Village.

A lot of people could be seen digging wild vegetables far away from the village. This year, Yongning State was hit by a large-scale disaster, and many people might have died.

Zhang Hulan felt increasingly uneasy. Her family had no food to eat, and if she brought back a few more mouths to feed...

They were already at the entrance of the village, and Zhang Hulan didn't care about anything else and decided to go and take a look first.

Following my memory, I came to the door of Zhang's house. The door was ajar, and a voice came from inside: "Old man, drink the medicine."

"No, who told you to go get the medicine? I told you not to go get the medicine."

"You are such a stubborn old man. It's just that Tiger Jun is worried about your injury. If you don't want to drink, forget it. Wait for Tiger Jun to come back and talk to him yourself."

"It doesn't matter who comes. If you don't want to drink, then don't drink. Drinking that stuff is bitter and a waste of money."

The old man and the old lady in the room were arguing with each other. Zhang Hulan took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door when a surprised voice sounded behind her, "Big sister?"

Zhang Hulan looked back and saw that it was her original eldest brother Zhang Hujun, her eldest sister-in-law Li and their two children, sister Zhang Dahua and brother Zhang Xiaojun.

Zhang Hujun and Zhang Xiaojun both carried baskets filled with firewood. Li and Zhang Dahua carried baskets filled with wild vegetables.

Zhang Hulan found that Li's belly was a little big, so she might be pregnant.

Zhang Hulan called out, "Brother...Sister-in-law..."
