The two children huddled in the corner looked young, a boy and a girl. They were wearing tattered clothes and their hair was matted together, as if it had not been washed for a long time.

“Zhao Di, mother is really afraid that you will get hurt again... Let’s just live like this. As for your father, let him be. We can’t defeat him... And your grandmother..." As she spoke, the middle-aged woman even started crying again, sobbing, and the two children in the corner shrank back again.

[Host, please find a place for me to transfer the plot. The conditions this time... don't seem very good.]

Su Zhiruan put on the cloth shoes with holes in them, and saw the single pants on her legs. They were only a thin layer, revealing her extremely skinny calves. She could feel that the original owner this time was like a skeleton, with almost no meat on her body. Now she was very hungry, and the feeling of her chest pressing against her back made her a little distracted.

"I'll go out for a while." Su Zhiruan said to the crying woman, and the woman's crying stopped abruptly.

Compared to women, Su Zhiruan's mental state is much better.

After Su Zhiruan went out, the first thing he saw was a somewhat dilapidated yard. There was almost nothing in the yard except a few millstones. The cold wind was blowing, and even the trees were dry. Looking into the distance, the grass was dry.

When she was leaving, she happened to pass by a few aunties. When they saw her coming out, they pointed and laughed, "Hey, Zhaodi, is your mother still crying? Come out and work, she keeps crying all day long."

"Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. There is no one in charge of your family, and your father ran away. You should take care of Pandi and Zhuzi first. I heard that your grandmother is coming soon, so you should tidy up the house and don't let people look down on you." A kind-looking aunt next to her instructed Su Zhiruan seriously.

Su Zhiruan didn't know what the plot was, so she just nodded politely, "Okay, thank you, auntie, I understand."

Afterwards, only two aunts were left there thinking.

"Just now... is this what Zhaodi said? Did I hear it correctly?" The aunt who spoke first was full of surprise, "When will she be able to talk to others properly?"

"Oh, you, people change. Zhaodi's father ran away, leaving the family with an orphan and a widow. You keep saying good things, but her father is really, tsk tsk!" Another aunt smacked her lips while working.

"It seems that the father's running away has a great impact on the child. Zhaodi can now speak softly. Oh, if it had been like this earlier, I would have introduced her to our Ergou. She is so pretty! The child will definitely be good-looking in the future."

"Your Ergou looks like that, even if your wife is a fairy, she can't change it."

"Pooh--"

The two aunts chatted with each other while working.

* Su Zhiruan smashed a hole by the lake behind the mountain and saw clearly what he looked like now.

Her clothes were tattered and her trousers were covered with patches. Her flowery jacket had faded a long time ago and had turned into a short jacket that was neither pink nor white. Her two braids looked as if they had not been undone for a long time and had become stiff and greasy.

She had a beautiful face, with a kind of ethereal beauty that was not typical of rural areas. It was stained with some dust, but her facial features were particularly delicate. Her skin had become pale and thin due to long-term malnutrition.

She sighed, wrapped her coat tightly around her, and began to absorb the plot.

Now is the 1980s, a time of reform and opening up, opportunities and times coexisting. It can be said that there is gold everywhere. However, the people who can be selected from this gold are also capable people.

Obviously, the original owner, a village girl staying in the mountain village, could not feel the great changes in the mountain village and the changes of the times.

The original owner, Su Zhaodi, came from a family so poor that they could barely make ends meet. She had a younger sister, Su Panddi, a younger brother, Su Erzhu, and a weak and incompetent mother.

Dad ran off with a wealthy widow in the village. Before leaving, he made a harsh statement that he would have nothing to do with them, their three children, or with the original owner's mother, Li Meihua, in this life.

The original owner tried to argue with him, but the father pushed her against the wall and she fainted.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

My father ran away and my mother was too weak to do anything but cry every day. My younger brother and sister were just eight years old and were so hungry that their faces were pale and their bodies were thin. They didn't have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear.

So, the original owner made up his mind——
