Chapter 20: The Demon King
Xue Han was not stupid, she just didn't want to think badly of her friend, and she was wavering in her heart.
Zhulan stood up and went to the kitchen. There were only two pancakes left from the morning. There was no more vegetables, and she didn't want to be generous with the meat scraps. No matter in the book or in her original memory, she looked down on the Wang family, so she took out a corn cake.
Xue Han was a little confused, "Mom?"
Zhulan held her daughter's hand and said, "I'll go with you."
Xue Han opened her mouth but said nothing. She was confused and wanted to go and see, but she felt uncomfortable.
The Wang family was not far from the Zhou family, but not close either. They were on the street in front. The Wang family had quite a few people, with eight children in their lifetime. Two of them died in the war, leaving six: one daughter and five sons. The Wang family's eldest grandson was married, and the great-grandsons were all born. Wang Zhang was sixteen years older than her!
Zhulan shuddered as she recalled carefully, Wang Zhang was really fertile, she gave birth to eight children and she was over fifty years old and she couldn't even breathe when scolding people, yet she still had the energy to beat her granddaughter. Thinking about it, although there was a reason why the original body gave birth to children continuously, the fundamental reason was that the children were born in turbulent years and they were caused by not taking good care of themselves during the confinement period.
The original body looked down on Wang Zhangshi, so Wang Zhangshi found fault with her. A large part of the original body's bad reputation was due to Wang Zhangshi, and there were many reasons for it.
Wang Zhang, a daughter-in-law, eventually became a mother-in-law. She had been suffering since she married into the Wang family, especially after giving birth to two daughters in a row. Her life became even more difficult. In addition, her husband was considerate and stingy, so her original happiness was too dazzling.
Furthermore, Wang Zhang's eldest daughter was the same age as the original body. She had gone to the Zhou family to propose marriage and wanted to marry Zhou Shuren, but the original body's mother-in-law did not give her face and directly exposed Wang Zhang's identity. Wang Zhang was so embarrassed that she accumulated deep resentment.
The original body was targeted by Wang Zhang after she got married, but her mother-in-law was powerful and Wang Zhang was under pressure from her so she did not dare to make trouble.
Later, the original mother-in-law passed away, and Wang Zhang's mother-in-law also passed away. Suddenly, she became powerful, with no one to suppress her. She started to make trouble in the village and became a well-known troublemaker in several nearby villages. She was not only mean to the people in the village, but also to her own children.
Of the six children, five were sons. The sons were not worth much, after all, they did not have to suffer much. However, the resentment of forcing the birth of sons was vented on the daughters-in-law and granddaughters, especially the fourth child of the Wang family, who gave birth to three daughters in a row and had not been pregnant for seven years because she was injured when giving birth to the third daughter.
Zhulan walked and reminisced, her eyes twinkling. If she remembered correctly, Wang Laosi's wife was pregnant again, and it had been three months. The original text said that she had a miscarriage when she was six months pregnant. Yes, she had a miscarriage. This miscarriage was a bit strange. Wang Laosi and his wife protected her very closely, and even Wang Zhang didn't bother her.
Zhulan chuckled and thought it was interesting.
Xue Han looked up in confusion, "Mom, what are you laughing at?"
Zhulan didn't explain but kept it in mind, "It's okay."
Xue Han said "oh" and suddenly felt that her mother had become mysterious. Yes, mysterious. Her mother used to be very easy to see through. When she was happy, she was happy, and when she was unhappy, she was unhappy. Anyway, she felt that her mother had become powerful.
Arriving at the gate of the Wang family, Zhulan looked around. Even if she had memory, she couldn't see it with her own eyes. The Wang family had many sons and grandchildren. They had no family background, so they built mud houses. As the family did not split up, they built many houses. They built the main house and the houses on both sides. The whole yard didn't even need walls, and it looked very crowded.
Chickens were flying around in the yard. Zhulan, who was used to the cleanliness of the Zhou family, felt a little nauseous. Yes, she was nauseous. Not only was there chicken feces everywhere, but she also saw several people. She guessed it was the children who didn't clean up.
Zhulan almost lost the courage to lift her feet. She looked down at her daughter, Xuehan, a clean girl who could bear to come to the Wang family. She really treated Sanya as a friend.
The naughty boy went to the main room, and Wang Zhang came out soon, "Hey, what's the wind blowing today?"
