Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Sick
In the following days, Yu Li ran to the mountains whenever he had nothing to do.
Every morning, after having breakfast at Fu's house, she would fetch water, water the vegetables, chop firewood, etc. After finishing her housework, she would go to Yu's house to have another breakfast and then go up the mountain.
Yu Li completely regarded this mountain as his own food storage base, and went into the mountain to find food when he was hungry.
It was the season when all kinds of wild fruits ripened in the mountains. She ate the most wild fruits from the mountains. After eating here, she would switch to there. After eating there, she would switch to this side again. After a few days, when the wild fruits on this side were ripe again, she would switch back.
To Yu Li's regret, she had never encountered any animals in the mountains.
Not to mention the dangerous beasts such as tigers and wild boars that the villagers feared, she had not even encountered a pheasant or a wild rabbit. This was really strange.
Of course, it may also be because she has not really gone deep into the mountains.
She had to go into the mountains every morning and get down before dark. Given her current physical condition, this amount of time was not enough for her to go deep into the mountains.
The reason for not choosing to spend the night in the mountains is because there is no need for the time being, and because of night blindness, it would be a hassle if something happened in the mountains.
After half a month, Yu Li found that he had finally gained some weight.
She was finally no longer as skinny as a skeleton.
Not only her, but the people in the second branch of the Yu family also gained some weight, no longer looking pale and skinny like refugees. Especially the sisters Yu Jin, Yu Yin and Yu Zhu, they were in the growth period, and with enough food, they looked more energetic than before.
When the villagers saw the Yu Jin sisters washing clothes by the river, they all thought they had changed greatly.
"The Jinniang sisters seem to have gained some weight."
"That's not called being fat, that's called finally having some flesh on your body, not being too skinny to touch anymore."
"That's right. They were really thin in the past. I was really afraid that the wind would blow them away and I wouldn't be able to pull them back."
"That's the good thing about children. They lose weight quickly and gain weight quickly."
Some people also wondered: "It's very hot during the dog days of summer, and there's a lot of work to do in the fields. Plus the summer heat, people would lose weight after a summer, but why are they not losing weight, but gaining weight instead?"
"They were already thin enough before. If they were any thinner, would they still look good?"
"I see, could it be that the food at the Yu family has gotten better?"
"How is that possible? You all know that the Yu family has to support two scholars. Except for the elder Yu and his family who live in the county town, everyone else has to count how many grains of rice they eat. How can they let the girls eat as much as they want?"
"Why not? I once went to the Yu family to borrow something. When I entered the house, I saw them eating. They were eating very well. The girls were eating thick porridge, not rice soup."
"Really? How could Aunt Yu let her daughter eat like this? Isn't she the most frugal person?"
When the word "thrifty" came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.
It is said to be frugal, but in fact it is more like being stingy.
The Yu family was extremely patriarchal and did not treat girls as human beings. This was especially true since the second wife had four girls. The Yu family was even less interested in them and would not pity them at all. Giving them some rice porridge was considered good enough.
The fact that the Yu Jin sisters had gained some weight seemed strange to them, and they didn't know why the Yu family was suddenly willing to feed the girls?
As she was speaking, she saw Old Lady Yu passing by and someone called her.
"Aunt Yu, your Jinniang and the others seem to be in good spirits and have gained some weight recently. Why are your family eating so well recently?"
Old Madam Yu's face froze and she spat, "Go away, what does my family's food have to do with you?"
Aunt Guihua was there too. She had always been at odds with the old lady. When she saw Old Lady Yu's face was sullen, she got excited and said in a weird voice, "Oh, Auntie, you are too irritable." Her eyes rolled, "Could it be that your family has been eating too well recently, and you are so irritable?"
Hearing these meaningful words, everyone held back their laughter.
Old lady Yu is such a stingy person. She would cry out in despair if the girls in her family eat one more grain of rice. The Yu Jin sisters have gained weight recently, and I don’t know how distressed the old lady is.
Old Mrs. Yu was so angry that she pointed at Aunt Guihua and started cursing. If the people around her hadn't held her back, she would have probably started hitting her.
Aunt Guihua naturally didn't dare to fight with Old Mrs. Yu.
She knew that the old lady was not afraid of fighting. She heard that when she was young, she often fought with her sisters-in-law. Even though she was old, she could still fight with other old ladies.
Aunt Guihua criticized the old lady a few times and left quickly.
Before leaving, she said cheerfully, "As parents, you shouldn't be too partial! Don't always treat your children and grandchildren like slaves and feed the blood-sucking eldest son. Everyone is born by parents, and everyone has sons and daughters. Who would like to be exploited like this? If it were me, I would have demanded a separation of the family long ago..."
Old Madam Yu cursed: "You old lazy bastard, I'm going to tear your mouth off..."
Seeing Aunt Guihua running away, she could only go home with a lot of anger.
When she returned home, she saw the Yu Jin sisters cooking something in the kitchen. The aroma was wafting into the air. She ran over to take a look and discovered that they were actually frying eggs.
"Damn it, you bitches actually ate my eggs. I was going to send these eggs to the county town..."
As she was cursing, she saw Yu Li walk out from the main room and stand under the eaves looking at her.
Old Mrs. Yu's voice choked and her lips trembled. She didn't know whether to scold or not.
Yu Li said expressionlessly: "Grandma, I asked my second sister to cook this. Do you want to eat it too?"
Old Mrs. Yu felt a lump in her throat, but fear eventually got the better of her. She turned around and went back to the main room, locked the door, and then lay flat on the door panel, trying hard to sniff the aroma of scrambled eggs in the air while listening to the noise outside.
Damn it, I had just saved up some eggs a few days ago, and was planning to send them to the county town at the end of the month to give to my eldest and second grandsons as health supplements, but I don’t know how much of them were wasted.
Oh no, her oil has also been wasted!
Not long after, when Old Lady Yu heard that Yu Li had sent the three brothers Yu Jingzhong from the third room to chop firewood, she felt distressed but did not dare to go out.
What made her even angrier was that Yu Jin actually came and knocked on the door.
"Grandma, we don't have any food to cook for dinner today. Can you bring some out?"
Why is there no food to cook?
Of course it was because he was eaten by Yu Li!
Yu Li came back from the mountains early today and came to bring food to her three younger sisters. Seeing that she was very hungry, Yu Jin cooked Yu family's dinner for her first. The Yu family could only come to the old lady to get food and cook dinner today.
Old Mrs. Yu's lips were trembling violently, and her heart was bleeding as she took out the food she was going to make in the evening.
Ever since their family started preparing breakfast for Yu Li every day, the amount of food consumed each day increased at a rate visible to the naked eye. What's more frightening is that she eats too much and eats up a lot of food.
Old Mrs. Yu felt that this wasn't going to work. If she continued to eat like this, the Yu family would really be bankrupted by her.
At night, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but said to her husband, "Old man, you should think of a way to stop her from going back to her parents' home to eat. If she continues to eat like this, I'm afraid our family won't have enough food until the autumn harvest."
Old Man Yu sat there silently smoking his pipe.
He used to like smoking, but not as much as he has been recently. His expression became more serious, and his eyes were dark in the smoke.
After a long while, Old Master Yu said, "Let the third son go to the city tomorrow to deliver some food to the eldest son and his family, and ask the eldest son for advice."
Their family would send food to the city every month, fearing that Yu Lao Da, Yu Jingde and Yu Jingli who lived in the city would have no food to eat. It was also expensive to buy food in the city, so it was better to eat at home, which would also save a lot of money.
Old Madam Yu hesitated, "Will this... disturb the eldest brother and his family? Jingde and Jingli are studying over there, don't let these things distract them."
Nothing is more important than having two grandchildren studying.
Mr. Yu sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it."
After observing the situation from the sidelines for more than half a month, he has finally seen clearly that his granddaughter is shameless and has done things without any shame. It is also because the old and young in the Fu family are unable to control her, which is why she is so arrogant.
She was sure that her mother-in-law, Zhou, was too soft-hearted to control her, the new daughter-in-law, so she dared to go back to her parents' home every day.
If any daughter-in-law in the Yu family dared to be as arrogant as her, the old woman would have slapped them in the face and made them behave themselves.
Old Mrs. Yu was still hesitant. Thinking of the eggs and oil that were wasted today, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go too. I'll talk to the boss in person."
Old Master Yu nodded: "Okay, you talk to the boss about this and let him make a decision."
**
Yu Li feels that his life is full of hope recently.
Ever since Fu Wenxiao said, "I'll ask mother to cook more meals in the future," Zhou started cooking bigger portions for every meal. Together with the breakfast she had at Yu's house and the food she ate in the mountains, she was able to replenish the energy her body needed.
After more than half a month, she finally adapted to her current body and roughly understood why her body had been in an uncomfortable state.
It wasn't because of heat stroke, but her body was awakening.
This state is similar to the situation when he awakened as a genetic warrior in the previous life. It requires a lot of energy to awaken. In addition to potions, energy can also be obtained from food.
After the birth of new humans, they cannot immediately become genetic warriors, they need to awaken.
Yu Li awakened at the age of ten in his previous life.
She remembered that she was also feeling very uncomfortable at the time and lay in the hospital for three days in a dazed coma. She finally woke up three days later and officially became a genetic warrior.
Yu Li didn't expect that after changing her body, she could awaken again.
In other words, it was her soul that changed this body, allowing it to awaken.
However, she could feel that although she was able to awaken, her strength was infinitely weakened. This was evident from the fact that she had not become weak enough to fall into a coma during these days, because the weaker she was when awakening, the greater her strength would be after awakening.
It was because of this that she didn't realize at first that she was actually awakening.
Therefore, even if she were to awaken, her power would probably not reach even one tenth of that of her previous life.
Although I am a little disappointed, it is already good to be able to live again and live in a world without pollution.
This is a gift from God.
She is not greedy and is very satisfied with her current life.
However, just as Yu Li was trying hard to adapt to his body's impending awakening, Fu Wenxiao fell ill again.
In the middle of the night, Yu Li was sleeping soundly and out of habit wanted to strangle the breath of the person next to her. However, when her hand touched the person, she touched the hot skin, which woke her up instantly.
How can someone have such hot skin?
Yu Li quickly realized that this man was sick.
