Over the years, she has worked hard and developed many health problems, including a bad back and frequent dizziness and headaches.
A few years ago, I fell while carrying soil down the mountain to build a house. At that time, I had no money or means to treat it, so I went up the mountain to collect some herbs to apply to the wound.
Song Darong couldn't come back, but she still had to keep working every day. Her leg took a long time to heal, but it left a lingering problem; it would ache terribly on rainy days, keeping her awake at night.
But in the past month, it has rained several times, and she no longer feels leg pain, back pain, dizziness, or headache.
When the villagers saw her, they said she had a rosy complexion and had become more beautiful.
Fang Jie was happy; she also cared about her appearance.
The pigs at home have gained weight recently, and the two hens have started laying eggs after they had food.
The three Song siblings visibly gained weight; they used to be sallow and thin, just skin and bones.
Now I've not only gained weight, but I've also grown taller.
Song Yaohui was about the same height as Fang Jie.
Song Fanxing and Song Yaohua have also grown quite a bit.
Song Fanxing is fair-skinned, chubby, and extremely cute.
Everyone in the village praised him when they saw him.
Song Yaohua thought his sister was the most beautiful girl in the whole village, and no one could compare.
Fang Jie touched her daughter's hair, which had grown quite a bit longer, and thought to herself that she would have to buy some hair ties for her precious daughter next time she went to the county town.
Her daughter is so pretty, she would look great with braids.
Speaking of going to the county town, she thought of her sister's family. She hadn't seen them for a year and wondered how they were doing.
It started pouring rain again that day, and the wind blew a crack in the thatched roof, causing the house to leak.
Fang Jie didn't go to work today, so she found a porcelain basin to catch the water. In no time, the basin was full of water, and Song Yaohui quickly took it away, emptied it, and filled it again.
After carrying the load four or five times, Song Yaohui said, "Mom, the rain is too heavy, and the water is flowing too fast. We need to think of a way to fix the roof. If it keeps raining like this, our house will flood tonight."
Fang Jie also knew, "But we don't have a ladder. When we built the house, we borrowed one from the brigade. With the rain so heavy, and the brigade being at the other end of the village, we can't get there."
Song Fanxing thought of the ladder used for picking peaches in the Spirit Spring Space, closed her eyes, went in, and took it out.
Then she skipped to the doorway and exclaimed in feigned surprise, "Mom, Big Brother, look, there's a ladder over there!"
Fang Jie and Song Yaohui hurriedly looked into the yard, where a wooden ladder was indeed lying.
The two were not too surprised. Song Yaohui rushed into the rain, grabbed a chair, propped it against the wall, and climbed up like a monkey.
Seeing this, Fang Jie hurriedly went over to hold the ladder, fearing that it would slip and Song Yaohui would fall.
Song Yaohui was quick and agile, and soon climbed onto the roof to fix the parts that had been blown away by the wind.
Instead of rushing down, he called out, "Is it still leaking?"
Song Yaohua, who had been guarding the porcelain basin, rushed to the door upon hearing the shout and replied, "It's stopped leaking!"
Song Yaohui had just come down from the roof.
Song Fanxing found towels and handed them to Fang Jie and Song Yaohui. Her small body then climbed onto the earthen bed and took out their clothes from the pile of clothes on the side and handed them over.
"Mom, Big Brother, hurry up and change your wet clothes, don't catch a cold."
Fang Jie felt a surge of tenderness in her heart. She stroked Song Fanxing's soft hair and smiled, "She's truly my little darling!"
Although these years have been tough, and I've been suppressed by my mother-in-law, things have finally gotten better.
Her three children are all exceptionally sensible and kind, and know how to share her burdens. Especially the eldest son, Song Yaohui, who is now the man of the family and its pillar. He always volunteers to do the dirty and tiring work.
After changing his clothes, Song Yaohui picked up Song Fanxing and a carefree smile appeared on his face.
Song Fanxing felt incredibly safe as he held her, her little hands wrapped around his neck.
Just then, there was a loud knocking on the door.
"Sis! Sis! Are you home?"
Fang Jie had just put her and Song Yaohui's wet clothes into a porcelain basin, preparing to wash them and hang them up to dry.
Hearing the cries, he immediately rushed back into the rain, opened the courtyard gate, and found a woman and a little girl standing at the door.
"sister!"
The woman cried out.
Fang Jie: "Xiao Min, what brings you here? Come in quickly!"
Song Fanxing quickly calculated with her fingers.
Oh dear, could it be the female lead?
Song Fanxing's eyes immediately lit up, and she craned her neck to look outside the courtyard.
Fang Jie quickly closed the courtyard gate and led the woman and child inside.
The woman and the little girl must have been soaked in the rain for a long time; their clothes were completely drenched and clung to their skin, shivering from the cold.
Although it's July and August, which is the hottest time of the year, the temperature in Northeast China is relatively low. Recently, with continuous rain, the temperature has dropped considerably.
It's probably only in the teens.
Song Fanxing looked straight at the girl.
The little girl's hair was wet and stuck to her face, making her face look smaller than the palm of her hand. She was thin and small.
Song Fanxing knew that she was the female protagonist in the historical novel. Logically speaking, she was already 6 years old, three years older than her, but she was about the same height as her.
Her eyes looked at them cautiously, which made people want to protect her.
What a poor little thing!
Seeing Song Yaohui and his two siblings standing there dumbfounded, Fang Jie quickly said, "Call for help!"
Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua greeted her respectfully, "Auntie."
Song Fanxing knew that in Northeast China, the younger sister who calls her mother is called "Auntie".
Fang Min smiled and responded.
She looked at Song Fanxing, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Sis, is she Xingxing?"
Fang Jie smiled and nodded.
"Yes, she was less than two years old when you last saw her, so she definitely doesn't remember you."
Fang Jie pulled Song Fanxing aside.
“Xingxing, this is Auntie, Mom’s younger sister. This is Auntie’s daughter, Sister Fangxuan.”
Ye Fangxuan.
Of course she knew.
Song Fanxing stared at her intently. Their family's miserable situation was all paving the way for her to turn her life around and live a better life in the future.
She drowned, her eldest brother was beaten to death, her second brother was blinded and made mute, and her mother died of depression.
In their family, only the father, Song Darong, remained.
This mother and daughter set their sights on her father. With his protection, she went to school, became a member of the performing arts troupe, married the son of a high-ranking official, and lived a life that everyone envied.
The fact that the female protagonist and her daughter have come to their door is the beginning of their family's misfortune.
Of course, since this cannon fodder character survived, things won't develop in the direction the female lead wants.
She doesn't care how the female lead turns her life around, as long as she doesn't step on their family to get ahead.
Otherwise, she would ensure that he could never recover.
Ye Fangxuan was frightened by Song Fanxing's gaze and hid behind Fang Min.
Why is this younger sister looking at her like that? As if she's done something to offend her.
Song Fanxing ignored them and ran to find another set of clothes to hand to Fang Jie.
"Mom, your clothes are wet again, change them."
Fang Jie took the clothes, and then found another set of Song Fanxing's clothes and handed them to Fang Min as well.
"You and Fangxuan should change your clothes quickly, so you don't catch a cold."
Fang Min didn't think anything was wrong and took the clothes as a matter of course.
