Chapter 342: I am the head of the family in a world dominated by women
A big pot of sweet potato millet porridge was eaten up by several people.
After finishing their meal, everyone did not choose to go back to their rooms to rest immediately. Instead, they sat at the table, lamenting the present days and missing the past.
Lin Wanwan listened quietly, and the man next to her didn't say anything either.
Until the two old people said they were tired and asked her to help take them back to the house to rest.
The man glanced at Lin Wanwan and remembered to clean up the dishes.
"You're not fully recovered yet, take Xiaobao to the house to rest first!"
"Even if I have to work, it won't hurt to take a few days off. I'll get myself back on track first!"
Lin Wanwan didn't let him do it, but sent the man into the house.
She put the little boy on the bed. After eating and drinking his fill, he was already drowsy.
At this time, I was sent back to bed and fell asleep immediately with my head stuck to the pillow.
"Don't work too hard, and remember to save water!"
The man, who had eaten his fill, looked noticeably better than before.
He sat on the edge of the bed and did not choose to go to sleep immediately.
Instead, he took out a needle and thread, and a piece of children's clothes, and began to mend them.
Only then did Lin Wanwan notice that the man had very long hair, simply tied behind his head with a rope.
She has fair skin and a long neck.
The exposed wrists showed that the person was very thin, so thin that you could see the veins beneath the skin.
But at this moment, she was quietly mending clothes, as if she was not a man, but more like a woman who worked hard for the family.
She became even more confused about this world, and hurried back to the kitchen. After clearing away the dishes, she sat down at the table and began to receive the original owner's memories.
[Host, the world plot is coming! ]
The original owner was a member of Wangjia Village. He started studying since he was a child and just passed the examination to become a scholar two years ago.
But ever since the original owner passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he still wanted to work hard and strive for the title of a juren.
Unexpectedly, there was a severe drought.
The drought lasted for three years.
The entire Wangjia Village, including the people in this large area, are living in dire straits.
The food in the city had been exhausted, and the people had to go to the mountains early in the morning and late at night to look for food.
If there were no springs in the deep mountains, the people living nearby would have fled the famine elsewhere long ago.
But I heard that the world outside is also in chaos and there is still a war in the south.
The common people didn’t know where to run to survive, which is why they have been able to hold on until now.
But now, if the situation does not improve and if it does not rain, they will have no choice but to leave their hometown and seek survival elsewhere.
Through the memories of the original owner, Lin Wanwan learned that this is a world where women are dominant.
A female-dominated world is a world where women are respected and men are subordinate.
Here, women marry, men do housework and take care of children at home, and women go out to earn money and seek fame.
Zixian happened to be the original owner's husband, and the original owner married him when she was 15 years old.
Later, the two had a son, and Zixian stayed at home to take care of the child, allowing the client to study hard and obtain fame.
It’s just that Zixian fell ill a few days ago, and the original owner was not considerate and disliked him for not working.
As a result, the two had a big fight, which led to the words that the original owner's mother said later.
In the west wing were the original owner's parents. Her father looked older than her mother because he had been busy with housework for many years.
In fact, her father is much younger than her mother.
[Host, this is the original owner's story! ]
[Next, I will provide the host with some plot details after the original owner's death.]
If Lin Wanwan hadn't come, the original owner would have starved to death at this time.
After she died, Zixian didn't want to stay at home anymore, so he planned to take his parents-in-law out to make a living.
But my parents-in-law are old and in poor health, so they can't walk at all.
Before we even left the village, my mother-in-law died of thirst.
This time, my father-in-law refused to leave no matter what, and even if he died, he wanted to die at home.
So after taking care of my mother-in-law's funeral, my father-in-law followed.
Zixian dragged his frail body to bury them, and then left the village with his only son.
They headed south because there was rain in the south, and as long as they could find a place with water, they would have hope of survival.
But on the way to find a way to survive, Zixian was spotted by a bully.
During the resistance, Xiaobao was unfortunately pushed down by one of the women and died on the side of the road.
Zixian went crazy from then on, pretended to agree with the other party, and followed them back home.
Later, he found the right opportunity and killed them all with a packet of rat poison.
After doing all this, Zixian lost his desire to live and ate the poisoned food with those people.
As a result, the original owner and his family of four were all killed.
[Host, the original owner's parents only had one daughter and one married son, but that son had long since moved away with his in-laws.]
[What the host has to do now is to find a way to survive with his family! ]
[This task is difficult for others, but very simple for the host.]
[Don't forget that you have magical powers, host, come on! ]
3628's reminder made Lin Wanwan react.
She sensed it carefully and found that her cultivation had indeed returned.
Come to the yard and look at the blue sky.
There was not a single cloud in the sky, but as Lin Wanwan performed some magic spells, a few dark clouds suddenly floated over the originally clear sky.
Dark clouds gathered together and wind blew over the earth.
The dry sand and stones on the ground were blown up, and Lin Wanwan felt the coolness. As the magic power surged, rain suddenly fell from the sky.
The elderly and weak who had been hiding at home ran out one by one and placed all the utensils that could collect water in the yard.
The same thing happened to Lin Wanwan's family. The man moved all the pots and pans in the house to the yard.
Two old men were also supported and sat on the doorstep. They were too weak to help, but they could feel the surprise on everyone's faces.
Lin Wanwan had already used up all her magic power, and the rain fell, quickly soaking the ground.
By the time most of the water in the pots and pans was collected, the sky cleared up again.
The dark clouds quickly dissipated and the sun came out from behind the clouds again.
"What a pity! It would be better if it could rain a little longer!"
Lin Yu, Lin Wanwan's mother, looked at the sky where the rain had stopped and said helplessly.
"This is already very good. With this water, we can hold on for a while. Besides, wild vegetables will sprout right after the rain, so everyone has a little more capital to survive."
Song An is Lin Wanwan's father, and there is hope in her eyes.
"Wife, let's pour this water into the water tank first!"
"Wait until it settles, then boil it and you can drink it!"
Zixian looked at the collected rainwater and felt happy. He called Lin Wanwan, and the two of them collected all the water into the water tank in the kitchen.
