But even a good cook cannot cook without rice. There was nothing to eat at home, just some cornmeal and some potatoes.
As for meat, there is none at all.
As for the chickens, they can't be kept alive at all. They are caught by the husband's family or the wife's family as a snack after a short time.
When the original owner separated from the family, he raised five chickens. After a lot of effort, they laid eggs, but Sun Jinhua killed them all, leaving not even a feather.
The original owner went to argue with them in great pain, wanting to keep an egg for himself and give the rest to them, but he was beaten.
Since then, the original owner no longer raised these chickens and ducks.
There was not even a nutritious food at home, and the three children were malnourished. Xia Feng still had twenty yuan in cash in his hand, so he couldn't help but sigh.
No matter what, we must improve our lives for the sake of our three children.
From the original owner's memory, five pounds of white flour were found from the pile of firewood behind the cabinet. This was carefully hidden by the original owner, and if it was discovered, it would be stolen.
Xia Feng's cooking skills can only be said to be okay. He quickly kneaded the dough to make a meal of white noodles, and then went to the vegetable garden behind to pick some beans and peppers.
The vegetable garden that was once carefully cared for by the original owner is now a mess. Eggplants, beans, etc. have been chopped and thrown on the ground, and green onions have been trampled.
Xia Feng picked out the edible ones and managed to put some together.
Use more oil and stir-fry beans and eggplant as a side dish.
And such a simple meal made the three children very happy.
"Mom, are we having white noodles today? That's great!"
Xiaorou smiled shyly around Xia Feng.
"Let's eat these today. Tomorrow mom will take you to the county to buy meat." Xia Feng comforted them softly.
The two children opened their eyes wide and said, "Mom, we don't have money. We don't eat meat. Steamed buns are delicious."
Xia Feng rubbed their heads and said, "How could they think the meat was not tasty? The frequent visits from the husband's family and the wife's family had left a deep shadow on the children, which was also the reason why the two children were timid."
"Don't worry, mom has money, don't worry about these."
Li Yongan also looked at Xia Feng worriedly.
The original owner was indeed incompetent as a mother in some aspects, but fortunately she was not that stupid.
She held tightly in her hand the 50,000 yuan compensation from the original owner's husband, and no one dared to give it to her.
Fifty thousand yuan for a life, sometimes human life is just that cheap.
Xia Feng didn't care anymore. He went to withdraw the money first and take care of the three children. Also, he would go to the county to have Yongan checked tomorrow.
The two children were still a little unconvinced, but the noodles were so delicious that they immersed themselves in them.
In the afternoon, Xia Feng cleaned up the yard and the three children came to help.
Xia Feng also saw the portrait of the original owner's husband, Zhao Shugen. The original owner put it away because she was afraid of scaring the child.
Although Zhao Shugen has an honest and dull personality, his face does not look like it. Instead, he has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, giving people the impression of being smart and capable.
Zhao Shujing looks just like him.
As for Zhao Shurou's appearance, she inherited that of the original owner, with clear eyes, a delicate nose, and a standard oval face.
Both children look good. In Xia Feng's opinion, they are definitely the best, but they are just too thin.
The next morning, Xia Feng took the three cleaned-up children to the county. Since they were already there, they all had their bodies checked.
All three of them were malnourished. Yong'an was more seriously injured, but fortunately he was not seriously injured and did not suffer a concussion. He took the medicine and nutritional supplements prescribed by the doctor.
Fortunately, Xia Feng took out two thousand yuan and bought some things. When she arrived in town, she bought a lot of household items, meat, noodles, eggs, etc. Most importantly, she bought several new locks.
I even asked someone to take me home, but it was already afternoon when I got home.
She couldn't possibly be afraid that those people would hide things and not dare to sell them. If they dared to touch her things, she would let them know that some things could not be touched.
After buying all these things, I received a lot of advice from people in the village.
When I arrived at the door, I saw a few more marks on the dilapidated iron gate.
After she put her things in place, Sun Jinhua came with Zhao Meifeng and Peng Guihua, the original owner's sister-in-law, who was not a good person either.
In short, none of these three people are good people.
When Zhao Meifeng saw these things, she spoke in a shrill voice.
"Mom, look at this bitch, she dares to squander my brother's life-saving money.
This woman is the sharpest, with two faces. You were deceived by her. She did that thing yesterday just to deceive you."
Peng Guihua chimed in, "Mom, your two grandsons can't even eat meat, but they're so lucky! My little brother just died, and they're already eating meat. Who knows how much they ate before without telling us."
Sun Jinhua's eyes were full of viciousness as she stared at Xia Feng viciously.
Yong'an stood bravely in front, his eyes fierce, like a wolf cub with bared fangs. Even Zhao Meifeng and Peng Guihua were frightened.
Even though Xiaojing was scared, he still held his body up with all his strength. As for Xiaorou, she was already trembling as she buried herself in Xia Feng's arms.
Xia Feng patted her body gently, which stopped her from trembling. At this moment, her heart was filled with anger.
"You are an elder sister-in-law who has been abandoned by a man. You don't know how to appreciate what even dogs don't want. Go back to your parents' home and be a good person.
I have ten faces, what can you do about it?
I didn't argue with you before because I still treated you as a human being. Now you treat yourself like an animal, so I won't be polite to you anymore."
These words made Zhao Meifeng so angry that she almost exploded. She hated people talking about her divorce the most, especially when the woman in front of her who had always been bullied by her dared to say such words, with her eyes wide open like a living devil.
