Chapter 1
"Mom, it's all Huilan's fault for being ignorant. You asked her to take the medicine to have an abortion for her own good. Our Meng family cannot be without a grandson. I'm the eldest brother, so I should give birth to a son to carry on the family line."
Meng Daguo lay on the bed, his face full of regret for not taking good care of his mother. He glared at his daughter-in-law and said in a harsh tone:
"Tell me your opinion. Do you want to have an abortion? If you don't want to have an abortion, take the secret medicine I found for you. So many women have given birth to sons after taking the secret medicine. Why can't you if others can take it? You are more valuable than them, right?"
Meng Daguo's wife Jiao Huilan wiped her tears, but she didn't dare to talk back to her husband. She lowered her head and agreed meekly.
Zhen Zhen turned over and deliberately blocked his ears with the wet and cold quilt.
Who could have imagined that she, a girl born in the 1990s, would travel back to the early 1970s and become a wicked widow in a period novel?
The original husband was a soldier and a fairly important officer in the army. He never thought of sacrificing his life for the country while on a mission.
Although the original owner gave birth to three sons and one daughter, and her granddaughter is already 3 years old, she is only 37 years old this year because she got married early!
This woman is a real wicked woman.
They are swearing and yelling at others, stirring up trouble wherever they go and can't stand seeing anyone do well.
At home, she favors boys over girls and bullies her daughters-in-law. When her eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, she became unhappy in the delivery room of the hospital and left the mother and granddaughter with a sullen face.
It was the coldest time of winter, and poor Jiao Huilan had just given birth to a child. She didn't even have a bed or quilt to cover herself with, and was lying alone in the cold corridor of the hospital.
In order for Jiao Huilan to give birth to a son, the original owner asked Jiao Huilan to have an abortion and take the folk medicine for giving birth to a boy passed down by Song Tieniu's family in the neighboring village.
When her daughter-in-law refused to eat, she took a rope and pretended to hang herself. However, her pretense became real and she slipped and kicked off the bench, and hanged herself.
Look, Zhen Zhen came through.
Zhen Zhen was speechless and choked with emotion. She always kept shouting that she wanted to retire and lie down, but who would have thought that God heard her call and directly skipped the cumbersome process of getting married, having children, and raising children. He made her, a young girl at such a young age, become someone's mother-in-law. Not only did her husband die, but she even had granddaughters.
Seeing that her mother-in-law remained silent and her husband was staring at her with a fierce look, Jiao Huilan expressed her opinion like a little daughter-in-law.
"Mom, whether it's a boy or a girl, they're all mine. I don't want to have an abortion. Tomorrow I'll go to Song Tieniu's house to buy some medicine and try to give you a big fat grandson!"
Because of years of hard work and not having enough food, Jiao Huilan's face was pale and her belly was pitifully small even though she was five months pregnant.
His eyes are dull when he looks at people and his hair is extremely dry. How can he look like a person in his early twenties?
It really looks quite pitiful.
Zhen Zhen turned over and sat up. Jiao Huilan was startled and sat down on the ground in fear.
Zhen Zhen's eyes were complicated. This evil mother-in-law had done so many evil things. Look how scared her daughter-in-law was.
"You don't need to take that medicine!" Zhen Zhen said.
When Meng Daguo heard this, he was about to hit Jiao Huilan with a gloomy face, "Mom, this is all Huilan's fault. I married her to continue the family line, but she gave birth to a daughter in her first pregnancy, and a daughter in her second pregnancy! But please don't say such angry words. You are the head of our family. If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to my dad?"
Zhen Zhen glanced at her eldest son, who was foolishly filial and favored boys over girls, with mixed feelings.
In order to obey his mother, he even disregarded the lives of his wife and children. Can he take such medicine casually?
Zhen Zhen had read a lot of news online before. It was about children born from this kind of sex-changing pills, because of the influence of male hormones, although their external genitalia looked like boys, their chromosomes were actually girls. In the book, Jiao Huilan gave birth to a child who was neither male nor female.
The original owner, Zhen Guizhi, became even more unfriendly to Jiao Huilan. After Jiao Huilan gave birth to her third daughter, the original owner's dissatisfaction reached its peak, and she arranged for Meng Daguo to divorce Jiao Huilan.
Jiao Huilan's parents' home was a den of tigers and wolves. Her parents would not tolerate her, and her in-laws were so abusive. She was so depressed that she took her three daughters and jumped into the river to commit suicide.
Zhen Zhen couldn't just sit there and watch the tragedy happen, she said:
"If I say you don't need to take it, then don't take it. I just dreamed of your dad. Your dad is very knowledgeable. He told me that boys and girls are both treasures sent by God. There is no difference. You don't need to take the risk of taking that kind of evil medicine just to have a son! I died once and figured it out. Boys and girls are the same. Just let your wife relax and take good care of the baby. We can talk about it after the baby is born."
Jiao Huilan's face turned pale. Let's wait until the baby is born? Could it be that the mother has a plan for this child? Could it be that she wants to throw the child away?
Jiao Huilan knew her mother-in-law's temper. When her mother-in-law suddenly told her not to take medicine, she became more and more scared and kept saying:
"Mom, I'm going to find Song Tieniu tomorrow!"
Meng Daguo said flatteringly:
"Mom, whatever you say is fine. If it doesn't work, ask Huilan to take the reincarnation pill so that you can have a big fat grandson next year."
Even though they are so poor, they still want to have a son. The more children they have, the poorer they become, but the poorer they become, the more they want to have another one.
Zhen Zhen couldn't stand it and waved his hand unhappily:
"Daguo, your wife is pregnant, take her home to rest! I'm sleepy, we can talk about the rest tomorrow."
Jiao Huilan lowered her head and said:
"Mom, you haven't eaten yet. There's still a handful of rice left at home. I cooked some sweet potato rice. Please eat some! You can continue to scold me after you finish eating."
Zhen Zhen was in a very complicated mood. Was this eldest daughter-in-law addicted to being scolded after being pua for too long? Why did she still allow herself to be beaten and scolded, making her a little daughter-in-law who would swallow her anger silently? How hard did the original owner work to train the eldest daughter-in-law into this state?
The mother-in-law in the past was really powerful and had the final say at home. No wonder people say that a daughter-in-law will eventually become a mother-in-law after many years.
Jiao Huilan brought the sweet potato rice over. There was only a little rice left at home and they were about to run out of food, but her daughter-in-law still cooked all the rice for her to eat, which showed that she was an honest person.
The rice has turned grey these days, with some husks inside, so Zhen Zhen really has no appetite.
"No, take it down and eat it!"
Jiao Huilan was flattered and overwhelmed. "How can I deserve to eat such delicious rice! Why not give it to my uncle? He is growing up!"
My mother said every day that she had lost money in the granary. She had already let her mother-in-law down enough for not having a boy, so how could she dare to eat the expensive rice?
Zhen Zhen's words made Jiao Huilan very angry, but it was no wonder that Jiao Huilan looked down on herself.
As the saying goes, the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old man!
The original owner favored her younger son and secretly took away all the delicious food and drinks in the house to give to her younger son. She was particularly harsh on her older son and his family. Later in the story, after Zhen Guizhi demolished the house, she gave all the houses to her younger son, but asked her older son and younger daughter to take care of her in her old age. It was a basketful of extreme things.
It just so happened that her most beloved youngest son married the heroine of this period sad novel.
The younger son is a love-minded man. He doesn't care that the heroine runs away with the baby and insists on marrying her. The original owner can't stand the weak and pitiful heroine. He harasses and scolds her all day long. He also tries to provoke the original hero, which leads to his crazy revenge.
It can be said that the misfortune of the Meng family is inseparable from the youngest son.
The more Zhen Zhen thought about it, the more upset he became. "Just eat when I tell you to! Why are you talking so much nonsense! If you don't eat, I'll throw the rice away!"
She spoke in a bad tone, but Jiao Huilan felt at ease. This was more like her mother-in-law!
She had no idea what tricks her mother-in-law was planning, and she was even afraid that the bowl might have been spiked with medicine, so she ate a few mouthfuls of rice with trepidation.
The aroma of the rice soon made her forget everything else. She ate faster and faster, and finished the whole bowl of fragrant rice in just a few mouthfuls.
Jiao Huilan touched her belly and a satisfied smile appeared on the corners of her lips. She used to be woken up by hunger every night, but tonight she could finally sleep well.
Meng Daguo was swallowing his saliva. He hadn't eaten rice for more than half a year. He usually ate wild vegetables and bran, or cornmeal with sweet potatoes. When would he be lucky enough to eat such delicious rice?
But he didn't dare to ask Jiao Huilan for it. This was his mother's order and no one dared to disobey.
After they were driven away, Zhen Zhen lay on the bed wanting to die. After a while, when everyone had left, she reached out her hand and touched, and as she wished, she found a bowl of hot snail noodles on the bed.
After eating a bowl of snail noodles, she felt better.
Zhen Zhen discovered that she had space three days ago. She was quite frightened but dared not say anything for fear of being caught and taken to the research institute for sectioning.
The space is not very big, about the size of a house of about 100 square meters, with a floor height of less than four meters.
For experimental purposes, she put a few popsicles and bowls of snail noodles in it.
After a day, the popsicle was still the same popsicle, and the snail noodles were still steaming, with the temperature not changing at all.
In other words, this space is equivalent to a mobile refrigerator, which can keep things both cold and hot.
The temperature has been high for several days this summer, and doomsday talk is rampant. Zhen Zhen has therefore read a lot of apocalyptic literature. The heroines of all apocalyptic literature always have a hoarding space at the beginning.
She thought she was the chosen one, destined to go to the end of the world with a heroine in her hand, so she didn't dare to delay and quickly used her 100,000 yuan savings to buy supplies.
In order to survive in the apocalypse, she bought 5 tons of rice, 5 tons of flour, 3,000 packs of noodles, 5,000 steamed buns, 1,000 packs of salt, 2,000 meat buns, 250 eggs, 100 barrels of oil, tens of thousands of yuan worth of pork, mutton and beef, and hundreds of chickens.
There are all kinds of outdoor living utensils, cookware, dried vegetables, vegetables, fruits, sauces, vinegars, sugars, and canned foods all stocked up.
I went to the supermarket and bought soy milk powder, coconut powder, cereal, Lego, cookies, and candies. I also bought toilet paper, little angels, shampoo and other daily necessities.
In order to cope with the extremely cold weather at the end of the world, she went to the wholesale market again and bought 5 large quilts weighing 12 kilograms, several packages of wool, cotton knee pads, cotton vests, cotton shoes and two military coats.
After buying all these, she was left with no money.
Zhen Zhen's father, Zhen Taiping, opened a clinic in the urban-rural integration department. Zhen Zhen's mother died early, and Zhen Taiping found another wife before she could make a name for herself.
Zhen Zhen has seldom gone home in many years, and she wants to go home and say goodbye to her father before traveling through time.
He didn't go in, but just wandered around the yard, and with a flick of his hands, he robbed his father's clinic clean.
Before leaving, I noticed my mother's old leather shoes at the door. After a little hesitation, I took them away, just as a keepsake.
Who would have thought that after traveling through time, I didn't see the script with a heroine in it, but the heroine was the real deal!
Although there is space to help, the space is just a large mobile freezer, which can only maintain a normal life. If you want to make a fortune, forget about it.
In any case, she was very upset about getting the wrong script.
She was only 25 years old before she traveled through time, with tender skin and a slim figure. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a young girl. But who would have thought that she would travel through time and space and become Auntie Po Pi Zhen, the village bully of Batou Village. What do you think of this?
The next morning, there was no rice at home, so Jiao Huilan went outside to pick some wild vegetables, mixed them with rice bran and cornmeal, and stuck them on both sides of the big straw pot to make small pancakes. She also used the cornmeal to cook a pot of porridge. This was their family's breakfast.
Zhen Zhen came back from outside with a gloomy face. The dry toilet in the countryside gave her a solid warning.
When she has enough money, she will ask her three sons to shovel out this toilet and build a better dry toilet.
Jiao Huilan looked up at the sun. It was strange. It was not even nine o'clock yet. Why didn't her mother go to bed yet?
Zhen Zhen did not sleep well that night. Fortunately, the original owner was a lazy woman. Although she was a rural woman, she did not even help when the oil bottle fell over. After Jiao Huilan came into the house, the original owner passed all the housework to her daughter-in-law.
Jiao Huilan's breakfast was ready. Zhen Zhen looked at the coarse grain and wild vegetable pancakes on the table, took a bite, and almost sent her away.
Don't accuse her of being hypocritical. This rice bran really irritates the throat. It gets stuck in the throat and mouth, unable to go up or down. It's very uncomfortable!
As a post-90s generation, when has she ever suffered such a thing?
Glancing at the Meng family, everyone was eating with great relish, as if they were some kind of delicacy.
Meng Daguo licked the bowl and said, "Mom, please eat something. The food at home is enough to last until tomorrow. Tomorrow we will really have to eat dirt."
Meng Daguo's daughter Daya stared at Zhen Zhen timidly, fearing that her grandmother would hit her little hand with chopsticks again. She did not dare to eat too much and only swallowed the biscuits in small bites.
This girl is pale and thin, with rough and red cheeks. She is not tall and has a very precocious look in her eyes. She doesn't look like a three-year-old.
Zhen Zhen really couldn't eat any more, so she threw the cake to Daya. Daya didn't dare to take it, waiting for her grandmother to hit her with a rolling pin.
Unexpectedly, her grandmother did not move for a long time. Just before leaving, she pinched her face with her hand, full of disgust:
"You really don't have much flesh! Children should be fatter!"
