Tang Youyou was a little embarrassed, not knowing where to put her hands, and didn't know how to comfort the old woman.
This was the original body's mother. They hadn't been in contact for more than ten years. He couldn't help but curse the original owner in his heart.
What an idiot! She actually refused to contact her parents for more than ten years just out of spite. If the old woman knew that her daughter had died, she would be so sad to see her daughter die before her.
My eyes were red without me realizing it. I feel so sorry for the love of parents in this world.
After a while, Old Man Tang said, "Okay, stop crying. You're scaring the kids."
The old woman let her go, wiped her tears, took her hand and walked towards the main room.
"You silly girl, your temper is still so stubborn. You have been bullied like this, but you didn't even send any message back. If your eldest brother hadn't met Wang Shuanzi's family at the market this time, we wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened!" The old woman looked at her with some heartache.
He touched her red and swollen forehead: "Does it still hurt?"
Tang Youyou wiped away her tears: "Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore. I was thinking of going back to see you guys after a while."
Old Man Tang sighed: "I didn't agree to your marriage back then, but you just wouldn't listen. Now you're suffering, aren't you? How are you going to let these children live with you?"
There are no fields and the houses are in ruins. If there is a heavy rain, I am afraid they will all be washed away.
Tang Youyou said weakly: "Dad, I was wrong..."
Old Man Tang naturally heard it and turned around to wipe away his tears.
"The Bai family is really going too far. Hu Zi has just told me everything. Just wait, I will sever ties with them soon!"
Tang Youyou didn't expect her original father to be so helpful, and she was a little touched.
"Everything is up to Daddy! But the child has to follow me!"
In Old Man Tang's opinion, this silly child was infatuated with the deceased Bai family's eldest son and wanted to remain a virgin for him. He sighed and said, "It's up to you!"
At this time, the man, Tang Youyou's elder brother, Tang Wen, took out all the things in the backpack.
"Sister, this is the food for you!"
"Brother, our family is not well-fed, I cannot accept it."
Tang's mother gave her a reproachful look and said, "Here, take it. Your second brother is now a waiter at Tianxianglou in Guangming County, and he earns five or six hundred coins a month."
"Grandma?" Bai Ruoer called out weakly.
Tang's mother looked in the direction of the voice and saw a dark-skinned young man carrying two baskets.
"Hey! Good kids, are you guys going to pick wild vegetables?"
Bai Ruoer nodded, and then Tang's mother and the others discovered a basket of rush, a basket of lungwort, water celery, and watercress.
With mixed feelings, her voice choked with sobs: "Is this all you're going to eat?"
"Sister, pigs won't eat this lungwort; it's smelly and fishy. Besides, it's poisonous and can kill people. And why are you cutting so much rush?"
Tang Youyou didn't answer, but looked at Bai Ruoyi at the door: "Hurry up and cook! Make rice porridge!"
The latter was a little confused and at a loss: Where did the rice come from? There is not even any yellow rice!
Tang Youyou looked at the others: "Dad, Mom, you guys can eat here at noon. I'll show you my cooking skills. You can eat all these dishes!"
Bai Ruoer added: "My sister-in-law said we can make some straw sandals with this rush!"
Several people looked at each other, feeling bitter. A pair of straw sandals only cost two cents. Poor families could weave them, but rich people would not buy them. Alas!
Tang Youyou ignored them and went into her room alone.
Looking at the rice on the panel, she was overjoyed. Three cents a pound, what a bargain. She vaguely remembered that rice here was sold at ten cents a pound.
The rice yield in the fields is extremely low, only about 200 kilograms per mu, and that's when the harvest is good, and there's still a 30% tax.
People were reluctant to eat the remaining 70%, so they exchanged it for yellow rice, buckwheat, black flour, etc., and added beans, bran, wild vegetables, etc. to barely fill their stomachs.
And there are only two meals a day, and I was only able to eat porridge this morning because she specifically asked for it.
As I recall, their family only had one lunch every day, and when they were hungry, they would just drink cold water.
"Do you have a cloth bag? Can you give me one? Otherwise, I have nothing to put the rice in." Tang Youyou complained inwardly.
【Five coins each! 】
Uh, so speechless, so stingy, so mean...
She didn't want to complain anymore. She looked at the twenty-six copper coins in her small cloth bag. She bought three kilograms of rice and had the remaining six cents. She looked at the lard.
I unexpectedly discovered that the system is quite user-friendly. Lard that costs 30 cents per pound can actually be weighed twice. I was very happy.
He went out with the cloth bag and threw it to Bai Ruoyi.
"What are you doing? Go make some porridge!"
Bai Ruoyi opened the cloth bag in confusion, his eyes widened with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, and then he grinned and ran to the kitchen with a smile.
"Second brother, wash all the vegetables in this basket!"
I sat on the doorstep and chatted with the three of them.
A moment later, Lin Huahua and Bai Ruoshan returned, carrying two cloth bags. Both of them looked glum.
When they saw the person, the two children didn't recognize him.
Tang Youyou waved: "Huahua, Xiaoshan, come here..."
We introduced each other.
Tang's mother noticed their embarrassment and asked, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
She had some feelings for Lin Huahua. This girl had married him despite her family being poor, and she knew how to weave straw sandals to supplement the family income. She was a good housekeeper.
Bai Ruoshan muttered, "Tie Niu's mother sent us to get soybeans, but they were all rotten. My sister-in-law argued with her, and she scolded me... Not only that, but the bran Shunzi's mother gave us was moldy and inedible."
Tang Youyou shook her head and tapped Bai Ruoshan's forehead: "This is my first lesson for you. Remember, there will be no free lunch at any time."
He turned to look at Lin Huahua: "It's okay. Isn't it a good thing to see through a small incident to see through a few people? From now on, these two families will have no dealings with each other."
Lin Huahua was still indignant: "The two families spread the news everywhere, saying they would help my family, but I refused. She even mocked us and said... said..."
Bai Ruoshan couldn't help but say: "She said that her mother must have a man to support her. We don't care about this little bit of help."
Old Man Tang couldn't stand hearing this: "This is outrageous! This is simply too much. This is bullying you, an orphan and a widow, with no one to support you. Good boy, don't be angry. Come on, take Grandpa to see..."
Tang Youyou raised an eyebrow, she didn't expect that her father still had such a hot temper.
"Dad, please don't be angry because someone else has a mouth. Besides, do you think your daughter is so easy to bully?"
The Tang Family trio: Hmm! It seems like this girl has changed a lot. Could it be true, as Hu Zi said, that she's come to her senses after her past death?
Bai Ruoyi's voice came from the kitchen: "Mom, the porridge is almost ready."
"Okay, okay, scoop it out quickly and I'll start cooking right away."
Lin Huahua was confused: Stir-fry? Dry-fry? I found salt in the kitchen this morning, and I don't know where it came from.
She thought of something, counted the people, and walked out of the room to borrow a bowl.
There are only six bowls at home, which is not enough.
