Mo Yan looked up. The sun was blazing, and it was already past one o'clock, but none of the people in the fields showed any sign of going home.
At that time, the land had just been distributed to individual households, and everyone was enthusiastic about farming. They all wanted to cultivate more land to make their families richer. In addition to the land they cultivated, they also went to the mountains to reclaim wasteland, all in order to grow more grain.
Mo Yan glanced at it, then packed her things and went back.
"Mo Yan is going back already? Won't she stay a while longer?"
The old lady next to her looked at Mo Yan as she was about to leave and asked in confusion.
"No, I'll eat first. If I don't eat, I won't have anything in my stomach and I won't be able to work."
After saying that, Mo Yan walked home, absorbing the plot as she went.
The original owner was fifty years old this year. At this time, the land had just been distributed to individual households, and he couldn't earn much money throughout the year.
She has one son and two daughters. Because she got married late, her son is 16 and her two daughters are only 13. As for why she got married so late, it's because she is the eldest daughter in her family, with five younger sisters and an elderly mother to take care of. She couldn't get married early, and no one was willing to marry someone with such a heavy burden.
As for her husband, oh, he's dead.
They had been working at the coal mine, but after the accident, they died and the person in charge ran away. Their family didn't receive any compensation.
Because he only had one son, Mo Yan's mother, who had never had a son, favored boys over girls and spoiled him rotten. Food in the house always had to be given to Dong Letian first; if it was given to Dong Leyu or Dong Lele first, Dong Letian would throw a tantrum, cry, and threaten suicide.
The old lady would secretly give Dong Letian meat and other treats, but she would either beat or scold the two girls. The original owner of this body was busy with farm work and had no time to care for the children.
Later, Dong Letian became increasingly outrageous, spending all his time borrowing money from relatives and friends instead of doing anything productive, making the original owner of the body earn money to pay it back.
The second daughter, Dong Leyu, was the most obedient and sensible in the family, but she ran away from her wedding before it was even over. The youngest daughter, Dong Lele, kept saying that Mo Yan was biased and only cared about her son. She never came back after the wedding.
The original owner's wish was for the family to be well, for Dong Letian not to be such a scoundrel, and for the daughters to be well too.
After Mo Yan finished reading the plot, she arrived home. Her two daughters were threshing corn. Although it wasn't officially harvest time yet, they were harvesting some early because they had nothing to eat.
Even though it's summer vacation, there's still a lot to do. Both of them have to help with the chores.
If they don't work, the old lady will beat them.
This old lady is Mo Yan's biological mother. Because she had no son, she asked Mo Yan to find a son-in-law to live with her family.
"Has your grandma cooked dinner yet?"
The two nodded, then shook their heads.
"Is this done well or not?" Mo Yan asked helplessly. Was this done well or not?
Dong Lele pouted, somewhat unhappy, "Grandma made the rice dumplings and cooked meat, but she closed the door and wouldn't let us in, saying we could only come in after she opened the door."
I asked her, and she said she didn't do it, but I could smell it.
At this point, Dong Lele felt wronged and said, "Mom, why is Grandma so biased?"
Dong Leyu quickly pulled her younger sister aside, saying, "Little sister, don't talk nonsense. Grandma said it wasn't done well, so it wasn't done well."
Dong Lele shook off Dong Leyu's hand. "Are you saying I lied?"
"Alright, let's go in and see for ourselves."
Mo Yan put down her basket and started pushing the door, but good heavens, it was locked...
