Chapter 12: Terrifying Bamboo Slices
Thinking of the various disasters she experienced when she was young, Zhang Jinlan couldn't help but shudder twice.
If there is a drought, she only hopes that everyone in her family can survive, even if she starves to death.
"I've encountered seven or eight families like that. Our village is the poorest, and there are many people who can't get enough to eat. So we have to find ways to make more money." Jiang Dahe sighed.
The eldest son’s marriage.
I'm afraid it will take a year or two.
I can't even fill my stomach, so how can I have extra money to marry my son?
The Jiang family members were in a bad mood, and Jiang Fubao saw it.
She thought for a moment, then smiled and said loudly to Zhang Jinlan and Jiang Dahe: "Uncle, grandma, I have to go up the mountain again tomorrow to pick bird eggs. I want my family to have meat every day."
The words had just fallen.
Zhang Jinlan wiped away her tears.
"Oh, my dear grandson, I know that our Fubao is the most filial, but you are still a child, how can you go to the mountains every day? I don't want you to pick bird eggs, I just want you to grow up safely."
After saying this, Zhang Jinlan let out a breath of foul air, handed the spatula in her hand to her eldest daughter-in-law, then walked into the yard and snatched her granddaughter from her youngest son's arms.
"Grandma, I want to go!" Jiang Fubao clenched her fists. She would not give up!
She is the 'King of Awesomeness' who has the space and the golden finger!
If she goes to the mountain every day.
You definitely know where the good stuff is.
It will definitely improve the Jiang family’s food and help them make more money.
Besides, even if you can't find it, there is still automatic replenishment of food in the space, so you can find a reason to take it out.
When he has more money, my cousin will be able to get married.
The house can also be demolished and rebuilt into a large brick and tile house, so we don't have to live in this shabby house anymore.
It would be best to eat delicious rice with meat, vegetables and soup every day.
Isn't it beautiful?
Helping Jiang’s family is helping herself!
"Grandma, please, Fubao wants to go to the mountains so that you can eat meat every day. My uncle, second uncle, father and cousins must be very tired if they go to town every day. Fubao feels bad for them. Fubao doesn't want them to go."
Jiang Fubao acted like a three-year-old child.
This look melted the hearts of everyone in the Jiang family.
"Sister, brother is not tired." Jiang Tongjin said in a hoarse voice.
"Fubao, with what you said, I would be willing to carry grain bags for the rest of my life." Jiang Tongmu patted his chest, wiped away his fatigue, and his eyes were full of determination.
"My dear Fubao, uncle will make more money so that you can eat meat every day. Uncle won't be tired at all." Jiang Dahe looked at Jiang Fubao with gentle eyes.
"Hey, Fubao is really sensible. Mom, just let her go. Just think of it as taking her to play in the mountains." Jiang Eryong persuaded his mother.
"My dear daughter, wuwu, daddy is so lucky to have such a sensible daughter like you. Don't worry, daddy will earn money to buy meat for our Fubao even if it costs his life." Jiang Siyin burst into tears again.
The five workers all had tears in their eyes.
"Old lady, just let Fubao go. There's not much work to do at home anyway. The second brother is right. Just think of it as taking Fubao to play in the mountains. As long as you don't go deep into the mountains, it's fine."
Jiang Shoujia, the head of the family, spoke.
This matter is settled.
Zhang Jinlan touched her granddaughter's head.
She sighed again.
"I don't disagree. Fubao is such a well-behaved and sensible child. Other children of her age would have so much fun chasing chickens and dogs every day, but our Fubao is only three years old and already has to worry about the family's livelihood. I just hope she grows up happily. If she worries too early, she won't enjoy any happiness in her life. Do you expect her to get married in the future and be treated as a child by her in-laws?"
Zhang Jinlan knew what was going on.
I’m afraid that my granddaughter’s happy life will only exist before she gets married.
No matter how good a family is, it is impossible to treat their daughter-in-law like their own daughter.
Just like her daughter Sanhe.
At first, she carefully selected a family and arranged for her daughter to marry an honest and decent man in Sunjia Village. However, after the birth of her first child, the man changed his behavior when he saw it was a girl. Even though she took her sons to the family again and again and had countless fights, she was unable to change her daughter's in-laws' attitude towards her.
It's nothing more than giving the Jiang family a little face and not torturing them too harshly.
She had advised her daughter to divorce and find another one at worst.
In this world, although divorces are rare, they are common, but my daughter would never agree to it.
Zhang Jinlan couldn't persuade her, so she could only let her go.
Thinking of her daughter's tragic life, her heart ached.
"Okay, why think so far ahead? Fubao is only three years old." Jiang Shoujia interrupted her.
"Grandma, please help my sister find a rich husband, so that no one will dare to bully her."
Sudden.
Jiang Tongmu's words calmed the Jiang family down.
Everyone was looking at him, which made Jiang Tongmu feel uneasy, thinking that he had said something wrong.
"Kid, why do you butt in on adults' affairs? Wife, is the meal ready? I'm hungry." Jiang Dahe changed the subject.
But everyone kept those words in mind.
Soon, night fell.
After dinner, the Jiang family went to bed early.
Jiang Fubao heard the heavy breathing of the Jixiang brothers, and she quietly slipped into the space.
My family will buy some meat tomorrow, at most one pound, and the fat will be used to make lard.
But there are sixteen people in the Jiang family, how can there be enough food?
She just had enough space to stock up on frozen meat.
Jiang Fubao picked out a piece of meat weighing nearly two kilograms, preparing to trade the cat for the prince tomorrow.
After closing the refrigerator, she drank a can of Fat House Happy Water, put the frozen meat in a bowl, and went out to sleep happily with the bowl in her arms.
Under the wooden bed.
The lonely frozen meat is slowly thawing in the basin.
midnight.
Jiang Fubao was awakened by the pain.
My stomach feels like it's being stabbed by a knife.
A three-year-old child has a weak stomach and can't tolerate iced cola.
It’s the first time drinking it again.
Jiang Fubao felt like he was going to have diarrhea.
In the corner of the room, there is a wooden barrel for peeing.
It was already half full.
She just couldn't handle pooping in the house.
The windows and doors of the room were tightly closed, so the stench must have lingered for a long time.
I can only sleep in the second half of the night smelling the stench of shit, and my scalp tingles just thinking about it.
She couldn't enter the space, and the toilet in the rental house was too high. When she wanted to poop, she could only move a chair and climb up and down, which was very inconvenient.
I thought that I had been here for several days and had not been to the Jiang family’s outhouse.
So she put on her shoes and rushed to the backyard.
Fortunately, the moonlight today is very bright, and the toilet can be just barely seen clearly.
Jiang Fubao took off his pants, stuck his butt out, and stepped on the wooden board. Below was a manure pit that was as high as a person. There was a lot of farm manure piled up in it. Fortunately, the weather was not hot. If it was summer, the manure would have fermented after sitting for a long time, and the smell would make one feel drunk.
The problem was solved in a snap.
Jiang Fubao was dumbfounded when he saw the bamboo stick stuck in the soil.
Come into this world.
This was only her third poop. The previous two times she had done it in a wooden bucket, using the soft leaves her mother had prepared for her in advance.
It's wiped quite clean.
