Chapter 2



But now she knew that Liang Jinheng, that bastard, didn't even cry after her death, and instead turned around and married a new wife.

Then what is she going to endure? Should she endure another tragic death and then let Liang Jinheng's family welcome a new daughter-in-law?

After Miao Chunhong finished scolding, she waited for Wen Wan to get out of bed in the same fearful manner as before. Even if she didn't want to, she still had to do her work in a depressed mood.

But she waited for a while and found that Wen Wan didn't move?

Miao Chunhong frowned and subconsciously looked at Wen Wan, only to find that her always timid daughter-in-law was staring at her.

She thought she was seeing things, so she blinked and looked again, and saw that Wen Wan had a smile on her face.

It was just that smile, she didn't know if she was overthinking it or what, but she always felt that smile was filled with hatred and ill intentions.

Wen Wan got out of bed, holding a child in each hand, and said to Miao Chunhong, "Okay, I'll go cook right away."

It just so happened that she was very hungry and the two children hadn't had breakfast yet.

Although she had a strange expression on her face, at least she was obedient again.

Miao Chunhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, said, "Hurry up, everyone is waiting to eat," and turned to leave.

Wen Wan took a deep breath, asked the two children to stay in the house obediently, and went to cook.

The kitchen was narrow and drafty, and she was afraid the children would get cold.

But Wen Wan had just woken up, and the two children were eager to stick to her and were unwilling to leave her no matter what she said.

There was no choice, Wen Wan could only take the two children to the kitchen.

She even thought about it and felt that it was okay, after all, the two children could eat first.

Now she will no longer be as silly as before, only considering her parents-in-law first!

So Wen Wan took the two children to the kitchen. The eldest helped to light the fire, while the second girl squatted obediently by the side to warm herself by the fire. The firelight from the stove shone on the two children's faces, making their complexions look white and translucent, which looked much better than their own sallow skin color.

When Wen Wan saw this, her heart felt even more bitter.

Her two children are so well-behaved and sensible, how could she bear to leave them?

Besides, doesn't she not want to raise the two children well? They have no money and no food, and everything is withheld by her mother-in-law Miao Chunhong. How could she have the conditions!

She swore that she would never let her children suffer in any way for the sake of some bullshit filial piety.

Thinking of this, Wen Wan went straight to the basket of eggs and took out three eggs. After the water in the pot boiled, she cracked the three eggs and put them directly into the boiling water to cook boiled eggs.

Not only that, she also opened the cabinet, took out the brown sugar on the top, scooped a large spoonful and put it in the pot.

This brown sugar is very precious. Usually, my mother-in-law Miao Chunhong only lets my sister-in-law take some to make a drink when she has her period. No one else can touch it. Even though Erniu looked at it eagerly several times and was almost drooling with greed, the grandmother did not even suggest giving her granddaughter a bowl.

You don’t want my second daughter to drink, right?

I want to give it to Erniu today!

Not only will I give it to Erniu, I'll also give it to Da Wa, and she wants to drink it too!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so Wen Wan simply took another big spoonful.

Fortunately, she was honest and did not do anything sneaky, so her mother-in-law trusted her and did not lock the things in the cabinet, so Wen Wan was able to get these things so easily.

But after today, I'm afraid my mother-in-law will be more cautious.

Thinking of this, Wen Wan's mind moved, and she suddenly bent down and said something to Erniu.

Erniu blinked her big eyes and waited for her to finish speaking, then nodded obediently, and then walked back to the room where the three of them lived with her short legs, and took the enamel washbasin that Wenwan had placed in the room.

In front of the two children, Wen Wan calmly poured out half a jar of brown sugar from the jar, then collected a few eggs and some white flour, packed them separately and placed them in an enamel basin.

When Da Wa and Er Niu saw what their mother did at that moment, the expressions on their little faces were dull, as if they had seen something extraordinary.

Big Baby was shocked and said, "Mom, mom, grandma will scold us if she finds out!"

Even Erniu was worried.

Although she was young, she could understand what others said, not to mention that Miao Chunhong scolded her and her mother at the dinner table every day for being useless and just eating for free.

But she ate very little and was never full at every meal. She didn't dare to eat more because her grandmother would scold her if she ate a little more.

So the little Erniu understood one thing: all the food in the house belonged to grandma, and grandma was not willing to give it to them.

But she thought that her mother must be hungry because she had slept for so long during this illness.

Well, then let mom eat more. At worst, she can tell grandma that the food was eaten by her.

In this way, grandma won’t scold mom, she just needs to scold her.

Erniu clenched her fists and looked at Wen Wan firmly.

"Don't be afraid, Mommy, Erniu will protect you!"

Wen Wan didn't know what Erniu was thinking, so she just said to them, "Don't worry, this is what we should eat. We didn't have any to eat before because Mom was stupid. Now we not only have to eat it, but we also have to eat back what we didn't have before!"

After filling the enamel basins, she carried the heavy and full basins back to her room, put them where no one could find them, and then returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

At this time, the boiled eggs in the pot were also cooked, and two full spoons of brown sugar were added. The sweet taste mixed with the aroma of eggs spread out.

A few years ago, the Liang family's financial situation was not very good, but later Liang Jinheng joined the army. After being promoted to battalion commander, his allowance increased a lot. He himself did not spend much money in the army, so he sent most of his money back.

Thanks to the money he earned from his life-and-death experience in the army, the Liang family's life gradually improved.

Not only did the family become more wealthy, but they also built two new brick houses.

Unfortunately, Wen Wansan and her three children, who were the wife and children of the investor, did not get a single piece of property.

There are two tiled houses, one of which is occupied by Liang Jinheng's father, Old Liang, and his mother, Miao Chunhong. This is reasonable.

But the other one was taken away by Miao Chunhong on the grounds that her youngest daughter Liang Hongling was too young to be married.

It's nothing for the old couple to live in a better place as they are old, but Liang Hongling is Liang Jinheng's younger sister and obviously younger than Wen Wan. Why does she occupy the better tile house while she has to live in the old mud house with her two children?

It was because Wenwan was stupid before that she didn't know how to resist.

In short, after falling into the river and seeing the book, she felt more and more that her previous tolerance was bullshit!

She wants to eat good things and live in a good house!

She even wanted to take the subsidy that was supposed to be for the three of them, mother and son!

When the aroma of brown sugar boiled eggs wafted out, Liang Hongling was the first to smell it.

Liang Hongling is eighteen years old this year. The girls of her age in the village have all been betrothed early, and those who were betrothed later have also found good families waiting to be married.

But Liang Hongling didn't, on the contrary she is still studying.

It was 1976. After graduating from high school, you were either recommended to go to college or go home to find a job.

But the Liang family did not have the ability to send Liang Hongling to college, and she was unwilling to leave campus to find a job.

She said that her elder brother was an officer, and she was an officer's sister after all, so how could she stay at home and farm like the other girls in the village.

If she wanted to work, she would go to the city and be a formal worker.

Unfortunately, jobs in the city are so scarce that they are hard to find even with money. Who would give up their position for her?

So this summer Liang Hongling finally graduated from high school, but she did nothing and just stayed at home all day.

Mother-in-law Miao Chunhong often calls Wen Wan a young lady, and Wen Wan really thinks her mother-in-law is lying with her eyes open.

If that were true, then her daughter Liang Hongling would have to be a princess.

Liang Hongling pushed open the door, walked out of the house yawning, and shouted towards the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law, please remember to put more brown sugar in my bowl later. I like to drink something sweet. There's nothing to eat at home recently, and I'm dying of constipation."

Wen Wan was rushed by her mother-in-law to the river to wash clothes early in the morning. Then she fell into the river and was carried back up. She fell into a coma and then woke up. She didn't know how much time had passed.

But it should be at least two hours.

So when she almost drowned by the river, Liang Hongling was still sleeping soundly in bed, and didn't get up until noon.

After waking up, he would immediately reach out for food and make various requests.

Used to it!

Wen Wan had a cold face and didn't even move.
