"Hmph, Mom, don't lie to me. If Zhou Mianmian really wanted to take care of us, she would have taken us all away long ago." Zhou Linlin saw that her mother was still siding with Zhou Mianmian, the fake daughter, and she secretly hated her: "If she really had you in her heart, she would definitely take us all directly to the capital. There is no way she would stay and let us flee now!"
"Now we not only have no water to drink, but also no food to eat. I will starve to death in three days. You can just wait for me to bring the bodies of my entire family to find Zhou Mianmian!" Zhou Linlin was so angry that she waved away Zhou's mother's hand. She rolled her eyes, pushed away the villagers in front of her, and ran towards where Zhou Jiaojiao was.
"Sister, Sister Jiaojiao..." Zhou Linlin's voice woke Zhou Jiaojiao up.
She opened her eyes and saw Zhou Linlin walking along with the cart, looking at her in a flattering manner.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Jiaojiao didn't remember that the original owner had any contact with this sister. Thinking about how the Zhou family never cared about her, she naturally had no feelings for them.
"Sister, I'm so hungry and tired. Please let me come up and rest for a while. Don't worry, I'll only eat a little bit. I'm definitely not greedy."
"Are you tired and hungry because you don't have a mother? Come find me." Zhou Jiaojiao didn't even bother to roll her eyes.
Zhou Linlin was extremely shocked: "Sister, how can you say that? You are my sister."
"You also know that I am your sister, not your mother."
"What? You still want to use moral blackmail to get on here and rest? Do you believe I'll slap you in a minute?"
"roll."
Zhou Jiaojiao had just learned the key content and didn't want to be disturbed by her, so she turned over and ignored her.
Zhou Linlin was so angry that she started crying.
She stamped her feet on the spot, and the villagers next to her walked past her and continued forward.
Many people saw this scene.
But no one had the time to speak for her. Everyone was exhausted and thirsty, so who would have the mind to meddle in other people's business?
After Zhou Linlin returned to Zhou's house.
He started by blaming Zhou Mianmian.
"Mom, you see, it's because you favor Zhou Mianmian that my sister doesn't recognize me anymore. You just have to wait for Zhou Mianmian to be filial to you in the future. I want to see if she will be filial to you."
Zhou's mother was confused: "What does this have to do with Mianmian? Isn't Zhou Jiaojiao unfilial?"
"You didn't raise her, so why should she be filial to you? I have more dignity than you." Zhou Linlin's words almost made Zhou's mother fall over in anger, but she still felt that Zhou Mianmian was good. After all, she raised her and she had feelings for her.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to develop feelings with Zhou Jiaojiao, but didn’t she promise Mianmian not to care about Zhou Jiaojiao marrying Chu Lao San? Later, when she wanted to ask her about her life, she didn’t even see her face. This was a loss of face for her as a mother. Could she continue to put her face forward and get cold feet?
Zhou Jiaojiao had no idea what her mother was thinking.
She spent the whole morning studying in the space.
The weather was at its hottest at noon. The team from Dalui Village had just reached the river. There were only a few large haystacks by the river, and the rest of the place was deserted.
The team stopped here, preparing to spend the hottest afternoon before continuing on their journey.
Old Man Chu took his elder brother Chu and second brother Chu to set up the tent.
It is called a tent, but it is actually made of cloth, similar to a mosquito net.
"Madam, sit, sit, and rest."
Chu San put a mat for her under the tent. The four children of the family were sitting next to her. The children were sharing the naan, each breaking off a piece. Chu Dabao handed it to Zhou Jiaojiao first.
"Aunt, eat more. Is my little brother in your belly doing well today?"
"It's very good. You should eat too. Don't just focus on your younger brother. You are still children too." Zhou Jiaojiao took out a bag of meat patties wrapped in oil paper from the luggage next to her. There was meat inside. They were sold in the pastry shop.
She didn't intend to treat herself badly, mainly because she saw Shen Lin eating meat, so if she ate too, she wouldn't attract attention.
"Thank you, Auntie San."
The four children ate quietly, without revealing anything. They ate secretly and no one noticed. They ate quietly until their stomachs were full.
Chu San saw that Zhou Jiaojiao was only caring about the four children, with her mouth pouting so much that an oil bottle could be hung on it.
"What's going on?" Zhou Jiaojiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Chu San said a little aggrievedly: "You only care about them and not me."
"How could that be? I secretly saved some delicious food for you." Zhou Jiaojiao put a plate of meat and a big steamed bun in his hands and asked him to eat with his back to the outside. Even if someone looked in from outside, they would not know what he was eating.
Chu San was indeed happy.
While eating, he fed it to Zhou Jiaojiao.
Zhou Jiaojiao doesn’t eat much, and she also prepares her own meals, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to handle it while she’s pregnant.
This side.
Chu Dabao and his children found the saved meat patties and distributed them to their mother and other elders who were still busy working.
When Chu's mother heard that it was given by Zhou Jiaojiao, she just thought it was brought back from the county town yesterday.
She rubbed her grandson's head lovingly and said, "Dabao, you guys eat. Grandma will eat some dry food later."
"Milk, let's eat together."
Chu Dabao spoke simply. He stuffed the meat pie into Chu's mother's hand, turned around and ran to find Brother Chu and Sister-in-law Chu.
Mother Chu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I also feel relieved.
Even if we encounter this disaster, as long as the family is united, we will definitely be able to get through it.
While she was eating the pancakes, she happened to see Shen Lin and the Zhao family also eating meat, but they were eating dried meat slices with water, which was much better than other families who only ate dry food.
"The Zhao family has quite a bit of background." Mother Chu couldn't help but say as she walked back.
When Zhou Jiaojiao heard this, she thought to herself, this is not the foundation of the Zhao family, it should be the foundation of the heroine. However, the Zhao family is also not harmonious. In the novel, the heroine often prepares special meals for her son in private. Later, when she saw that her son and herself were getting better and better, while others were getting thinner and thinner, the gap was too big, so she slowly leaked some food to the Zhao family.
The method she used was simple. She used her husband Zhao Changliu to threaten the Zhao family.
The other two branches of the Zhao family each have their own thoughts and scheme against each other. If there are benefits, they naturally choose to listen to the heroine.
However, Zhou Jiaojiao didn't expect that the plot would progress faster than she had imagined.
After walking for half a month, moving forward in the dryness along the river, the villagers of Daliu Village had consumed one-third of their food, and water was consumed the fastest. Even on the surface, the Chu family only had two bags of water left.
The situation was similar in other villagers' homes.
The large group stopped.
Rest at each home.
Zhou Jiaojiao sat in the tent, leaning lazily on Chu Sandi's shoulder. She had become more and more sleepy recently. She didn't know if it was because of her pregnancy or because she was too tired from fleeing.
"Third sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law and I are going to the woods in front to relieve ourselves. Do you want to go with us?" Chu Xiaomei came over and said a little embarrassedly.
Under the current conditions, it is very normal to use the open air for defecation.
