"In this village, the women who beat children are the Yin and Ye families. They're both bad people, and it's the children who suffer. Look at the Chen family's child, he's as thin as a bamboo pole, and the Tian family's child has become a thief. How can our Iron Sword Village produce a criminal? Our reputation is completely ruined!" The village head's wife was worried.
The village was in bad shape, but in the end, it was still her husband's fault for not managing it well.
The village head's wife narrowed her eyes. "I noticed that the Chen family's child has been wearing thicker clothes these past few days, and the child seems more energetic. I heard that the Yin family didn't take the grain this time. Perhaps the Yin family got a good beating and learned something from it."
Li Zheng didn't believe it. A person's habits are formed long ago. How can they be changed overnight?
Let's wait and see.
“Gagam~”
A loud rooster crow shattered the tranquility of Iron Sword Village.
The sky was still overcast and not yet bright; it was probably past six in the morning.
Early in the morning, the situation on the bed had undergone a complete transformation.
The eldest child, who was originally sleeping at Yin Lan's feet, was now lying in Yin Lan's arms. The second child, who was originally in Yin Lan's arms, had somehow moved to the eldest child's feet. It looked as if the eldest child had kicked the second child away and taken his place.
As always, the third child lived a peaceful life, lying obediently on the innermost side of the bed.
He was the first to wake up, but he didn't cry or fuss. He just waved his arms and legs and babbled as if two little hands were playing with him.
Suddenly, the eldest son opened his eyes. He was the family's main breadwinner, and his biological clock was ingrained in his bones. He then comfortably squinted his eyes and tried to stretch, only to find that he was lying in his mother's arms.
The little guy froze in fright, then his face turned red, and he carefully and awkwardly crawled out of Yin Lan's arms.
Suddenly, Yin Lan moved, which startled Da Wa so much that his heart almost stopped.
Turning her head in horror, she was relieved to find that Yin Lan had not woken up, but had simply turned over.
Then the older child saw that as he rolled over, his mother's drool was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Big Brother: ......
I wonder what his dad's expression would be if he saw this.
The eldest child quickly got out of bed, then dressed himself, helped the youngest child pee, and put him back on the bed. The youngest child babbled and peed a lot, flailing his little hands, and then hugged and kissed the eldest child.
The eldest son finally smiled and went on to make breakfast. This son was even closer to the second and third sons than their own mother.
A little while later, Yin Lan also woke up. Ah, she stretched out her arms and legs, feeling very comfortable. In this dynasty, there were no entertainment activities at night, and everyone went to bed early to rest. Early to bed and early to rise, so she felt particularly refreshed after waking up.
It was just too cold outside, so Yin Lan wanted to stay in bed a little longer.
But then they heard the sound of pots and pans outside, and when they looked out, one of the children was missing from the bed.
Well, the eldest son has already gotten up and become a "farmhand".
Although she didn't want to get up, Yin Lan gritted her teeth and put on her coat.
Then she went outside, where Da Wa was already cooking porridge again. Yin Lan glanced at it and added five times the amount of rice to the pot.
Big Brother: ....
They were heartbroken but dared not utter a single word.
Destroy this house; it's probably going bankrupt in a few days.
Yin Lan, of course, had no idea what Da Wa was thinking.
Yesterday, we bought eggs. Yin Lan scooped out a small wooden spoonful of lard, heated it up, and then cracked two eggs into it to fry them.
Da Wa: ...His heart is bleeding.
He won't eat it. He doesn't eat eggs anyway. If he did, Mom might use three eggs tomorrow.
But as the eggs were fried in lard, the sizzling sound and the rich, fragrant aroma filled the air, making Da Wa unable to stop himself from swallowing hard.
The eldest child was sleeping soundly, dreaming of a huge chicken leg that looked delicious. He opened his mouth and took a bite.
I woke up suddenly, and it turned out that I had bitten the third child's little arm.
Sanwa thought his second brother was playing with him, and he laughed happily.
Erwa wiped his drool, and then smelled a fragrance that made him almost faint. It was more delicious than anything he had ever smelled before!
His drool was endless; as soon as you wiped it, new drool would drip down.
He rushed out without even getting dressed properly.
"Mom! What delicious food are you making?" As long as there's something good to eat, he doesn't care how many days the family's food will last.
After cooking, there was a fragrant white rice porridge, a plate of scrambled eggs, and some chopped wild vegetables added, which had both the oily aroma of eggs and the fresh fragrance of wild vegetables.
The second child swept away the clouds and instantly transformed into a little piglet.
The eldest child pursed his lips; he wouldn't eat.
"Big Brother?" Yin Lan called to him.
Before he could even finish saying "What...", a large mouthful of egg was shoved into his mouth.
"No..."
The aroma of eggs filled his entire body – his tongue, his nose, his senses. Da Wa couldn't bring himself to say no, and silently and swiftly ate the egg.
In less than a minute, everything on the table was completely eaten.
The two children licked the bowls and plates clean, leaving no trace of grease.
Yin Lan only needed to rinse it with water to make it clean. It seems that although it is not elegant for a child to lick the bowl, there are some benefits to it.
However, it is indeed unseemly. If others see it, and if other girls see it when they are a little older, the two boys may not be able to find wives.
This habit needs to be gradually changed.
Yin Lan also knew that the child had no confidence in the family's money and food.
Making money is an urgent matter.
So after packing her things early in the morning, Yin Lan called her two children and went into the mountains.
