Next, An Hongdou received the same cold stares from her other two sisters-in-law, and she realized that something was wrong.
She noticed something was wrong when her eldest and second brothers went to pick them up last night.
After returning home, Mrs. An's attitude also aroused her suspicion.
In addition, she is now being ostracized by her three sisters-in-law. If she really can't see through it, she would be very stupid.
I just don’t know what it is, and there’s no one to talk to.
Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, the fields need to be re-prepared for wheat planting, and this is also the busiest time.
After breakfast, everyone in the family went to work, including Mrs. An and the eldest sons of the family, An Changzheng and An Changyue.
One of them was 12 years old, and the other was 10 years old. Although they could not do heavy work, they could collect grass for pigs and pull weeds in the fields. These jobs were simple and easy, and required few work points, so they were mostly done by children and girls.
But An Hongdou doesn't have to go.
She only has to take care of her five other nephews and nieces at home.
Asking her to look after the children was just an excuse for Old Lady An to slack off. The children in the family were all small and followed the big ones around the village, so they didn't need anyone to look after them at all.
After all the people who were going to work had left, An Hongdou called the two oldest boys in the second house, An Jianguo and An Jianye.
An Hongdou had often bullied them in the past by relying on her status as Yamato's aunt, so when An Jianguo and An Jianye heard An Hongdou calling them, they immediately shuddered.
"Aunt, what do you want us to do?" An Jianguo, who was a little older, asked her with round eyes.
An Jianguo is only 8 years old this year, but he is already very tall and has good facial features, except that he is a little dark and thin.
Speaking of which, the other members of the An family all look good, including the older Mrs. An, who looks more decent than the other old ladies.
But there happened to be an oddball called An Hongdou, who was not only cunning and domineering, but also dark, fat and annoying.
An Hongdou could see that they were all afraid of her, and she also understood that the original owner had indeed gone too far in the past.
But she is not the original owner, so she definitely won’t bully children.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out a handful of hard candies. She had already torn off the outer plastic packaging and handed them all to An Jianguo. "This is the candy that my aunt brought back from town for you. Share it among you later."
An Jianye was still young and couldn't help himself, so he reached out and took one and put it in his mouth.
An Jianguo was stunned, "Aunt, is this really for us?"
My aunt is so weird today.
In the past, we were lucky enough not to steal their things, let alone give them food.
"Of course it's for you, but I have something to ask you, you just need to tell me the truth." An Hongdou said.
An Jianguo then took a candy and stuffed it into his mouth with confidence, saying, "Aunt, are you going to ask me about An Zhiqing? Many people in the village say that he will be my uncle. Is that true?"
The child is ignorant and has heard a lot of gossip in the past two days.
Many of them were jokes, but they couldn't hear them and took them seriously.
An Hongdou was embarrassed. "This has nothing to do with Chen Zhiqing. I want to ask you, has anything happened in our family these past two days? Why do I feel like your mothers seem to have a problem with me?"
"Aunt, don't you know? Grandma, uncle and my dad's third uncle said they wanted to build a house for you and uncle, but my mom, aunt and third aunt all disagreed. My mom even kicked my dad out to sleep last night." The child was simple-minded and said whatever he wanted to say.
After a while, An Hongdou learned everything from the two of them, and then she understood why her sisters-in-law were so dissatisfied with her.
However, it is understandable.
The original owner had been a little greedy and domineering in the past, but those were small matters. Building a house was a big deal in the countryside, and several sons were still living closely together. But Old Lady An wanted to build a house for her daughter, which aroused public anger!
If the original owner had taken advantage of this, he might have been proud of it, but An Hongdou couldn't do that.
Old Lady An loved the original owner so much that she let her enjoy the preciousness of maternal love, but she could not selfishly let this mother who was devoted to her daughter put her on the fire.
The brothers may have temporarily agreed out of affection for their sister, but their family is indeed not well-off, and they may regret it in the future.
Especially at this juncture, fourth brother An Honglin is not married yet.
Besides, she had countless supplies in her space, and she didn't need the money from home, she just didn't have a suitable excuse to take it out.
An Hongdou's eyes flashed, and she suddenly felt that the original owner's great strength might be able to provide her with a good cover.
The reason why Qingshan Village is called Qingshan Village is that it is located in a valley and is surrounded by mountains that are rolling and undulating. There are even mountains between the village and other villages.
It is also because of this that when times were difficult in the past few years, it was said that people outside were so hungry that they even ate human flesh, but here, as long as they were diligent, most of them could save their lives.
Moreover, when the landlords were being beaten, there was a lot of commotion outside and many innocent people were implicated, but it was quite peaceful here. Unless someone reported it, no one from the commune would come to their place.
But at the same time, living in the mountains also has many dangers.
A few years ago, a child from a family was taken away by a wolf while playing outside. I heard that when they looked for the child later, all the meat had been eaten.
So no matter how crazy and noisy the children at home were, they were absolutely not allowed to leave the village. The only place that was safer was the hillside behind the village where people often went.
But An Hongdou was not afraid. She was eager to make money, so she set her sights on Dashan.
Even at the end of the world, she had no time to suffer any inconvenience in eating or drinking because she had space.
And here, it has only been 73 years, and the aftereffects of the famine in previous years have just passed. Now people can only eat half full and exist in a state of not starving to death.
Look at the children at home. They all have big heads and small bodies. It is obvious that they are suffering from long-term malnutrition.
An Hongdou has always adhered to the principle that life is short and one should not put oneself in a difficult position if possible.
Therefore, those dangerous wild wolves and wild boars in the deep mountains, which others would rather avoid, became delicious meat to her.
When the apocalypse just began, many plants and animals had mutated, the power system was destroyed, and frozen meat and the like had mostly rotted.
She has wood-related abilities, so eating vegetables is not a problem for her, but eating meat is a big problem for her.
An Hongdou's mouth started watering when she thought of the delicious braised pork, braised spareribs, pork elbows and braised pig's trotters.
