Most of the female family members in the Tang family are on the verge of collapse. They eat coarse grains and cold water for three days in a row, which makes people desperate both physically and psychologically.

The old lady stood there in one breath and didn't say much every day. She occasionally spoke to comfort everyone, saying that such days would pass soon.

The eldest wife believed in Buddhism and chanted Amitabha most of the day. Jin Baodi was like an eggplant made from frost, holding the child all day long and wiping tears.

The second wife, Jiang, was lying on the kang and almost never came down. She watched her son, Brother Xian, vomiting and diarrhea, her face turned green, and the mother was helpless. She could only lie on the kang and sigh.

Zhan Yan was naturally full of sorrow, but perhaps because he had Da Wangzhuang's life experience at the bottom, he could even come to help Xiaoxiao clean up the kitchen, which was very rare.

The third wife Shan Niang racked her brains to find food for her two sons most of the time, but now she doesn’t even have a grain of rice. All she can do is soak the coarse grains in hot water and feed the hot and soft children as much as possible.

The fourth wife, Ruan Shi, was obviously also shocked by this hard life. Her son Xiao Qian was already seven years old and was in a relatively strong state. Ruan Shi tried her best to help her family with some work, but when she found that she didn't know how to even get the well water, she had no choice but to admit her incompetence in life.

The fifth wife Zhen was born in a miserable family. She was able to do everything by making water and fire. In addition, the disaster at home was caused by Tang Laowu, so she felt that the dwarf was even more apt, so she took care of all the dirty and tiring tasks such as cleaning the toilet.

Yanran Smile is actually stronger than others, and she is very convinced of the ability of the fifth sister Xiaoxiao. She will come to ask Xiaoxiao for her idea for many things first.

Among these children, the most pitiful ones are lying on the kang and talking nonsense, and the one who shouts the most is "mother".

——So, when everyone heard that they could meet in three days, almost everyone's eyes lit up.

Probably everyone has a bright light in their hearts, and they firmly believe that this light will illuminate their own path in the darkest time.

Everyone has been in this ghost place for three days, and tomorrow is about to usher in dawn.

At night, Xiaoxiao couldn't sleep. After taking mosquitoes for half a night, he felt thirsty again and got up and poured cold water.

Shan Niang couldn't help but sigh as she heard her daughter drinking cold water.

Xiaoxiao heard that her mother had not yet slept, so she asked quietly: "Mom, do you think someone will come to see us in the third room?"

Shan Niang gently fanned her two sleeping sons to drive away mosquitoes: "With your uncle's official position, I'm afraid that their family will not be able to come, and it is not convenient to deliver things."

Xiaoxiao expressed his understanding. Thinking of the Lu family that the veteran said during the day, he said unconsciously: "Our family is committing a big deal this time, and it is normal for no one to come to see it. If he comes, he will come to the death."

Shan Niang thought more: "Although your uncle is not convenient to come, he must try his best to handle the prison. Compared with them, we are nothing."

Xiaoxiao fanned a large piece of sycamore leaves - there were only three old fans in the house, which was not enough to divide it, Xiaoxiao fanned the sycamore leaves and asked for coolness: "Anyway, we have three acres of land. Since the court said it was allocated to us, we have to allow us to plant it! We all planted land with our grandfather, and we still know it in general. If we really don't understand, please ask the officers and soldiers to help us. Those people are pretty good."

Shan Niang used to think that her daughter was smart, but now she has discovered her daughter’s greatest advantage. No matter how good or bad the child is, it seems to be the same. It is really rare.

Xiaoxiao became happier and happier: "There is also our yard, which is so big, so we must not waste it! In two days, I will find a way to put on the shelves. We will plant a lot of loofahs and gourds. In summer, we can shade the shade and rain, and pick them off and serve us for vegetables! Then leave some old ones, take out the pulp of the loofah, brush the pot and bowl, and split the gourds into water scoops!"

It was quiet at night, and suddenly I heard a strange sound. Xiaoxiao stopped saying anything. After listening carefully, Shan Niang realized that it was her daughter's belly ringing: "Is Xiaoxiao so hungry that she can't sleep?"

"It's midnight, even if you eat delicious food at night, you'll be hungry until midnight~" Xiaoxiao turned over and yawned, "I'm so sleepy, I'm asleep."

But in the dark, I pressed my pillow against my abdomen. I was so hungry that I suddenly felt warm. My mother held me and slept with me as I did when I was a child.

Xiaoxiao hummed an old song in his heart: The bamboo is blooming, and Mimi is lying in her mother's arms to count the stars. The stars are so beautiful, where will the breakfast tomorrow be... That is a song that my mother often sang in her previous life, a lullaby that her mother sang for herself.

In my mother's arms, Xiaoxiao gradually fell asleep, and all the dreams were delicious...

On the second day of anticipation, the guy had just finished eating steamed buns and pickles breakfast when he heard the officers and soldiers outside say "Someone is here to visit". Everyone was excited when they heard it, and they didn't know who the first person would be.

The result was something that no one expected - Lu Jia'an.

Even Yanran herself did not expect that her fiancé would be the first to come.

The place to "meet guests" is in a room at the door, belonging to the territory of the outer courtyard, and a soldier will be sent next to it, and there is no allowance to talk alone.

Yanran's face turned slightly red, and the old soldier who was sitting in the simple room with a smile on his face, like today's scene, I have seen it many times, and the world is cool, which can be best reflected at this time.

Finally, until Lu Jia'an bowed and left, Yanran sat alone in the room, like a stone man.

Xiaoxiao waited for a few girls and sat at the gate of the yard. Seeing that Lu Jia'an was about to leave, they stood up one after another.

Lu Jia'an was a little embarrassed and bowed to the girls, "If you have anything to help in the future, just talk, and my Lu family will do their best." As he said that, he bowed and left in a hurry.

When Xiaoxiao and Zhan Yan saw this, they seemed to understand a little, but they were confused and said with a smile: "It turns out that my sister is lucky and the person she chose is good. Our Tang family has been in a disaster. They still have to leave us. They have to try their best to help our family!"

After a long time, Yanran returned to the yard with tears on her face. When she saw Xiaoxiao and the others still held on, but when she saw the fifth wife who was sweeping the yard, she couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears: "I don't count them all! It's said that their elders are determined not to... It's obvious that he wants to give up. If he is really a deliberate person, even the nine-headed cow can't be pulled back!"

The fifth wife was exhausted physically and mentally, and she didn't even have the strength to curse: "Forget it, I can't blame others. If I think about it, if the Lu family suffered such a disaster, I would never marry you to fill the fire pit." As she said that, she also felt sorry for her daughter, "Oh, I haven't had Wending, so I can't give up the marriage. Just think it was an inappropriate meeting on a blind date."

After hearing what his mother said, Yanran stopped crying in a daze, snatched the broom from her mother's hand, and swept the yard hard.

Zhan Yan's eyes showed the sad compassion of the dead rabbit and fox, and he actually asked the smile beside him softly: "Will Wen Xixiu come?"

Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't say too much: "He went out of business a few days ago and wouldn't come back in about half a year."

"That's great, it will save you all the embarrassment over time." Zhan Yan smiled softly.

It seems that in the eyes of these people, everything in the past was like those business contracts frozen by the court, and nothing counted.

So a few days later, when Zhan Yan received the Bai family's retirement thing, his expression was extremely calm and he did not shed a single tear.

The clothes and shoes that Zhan Yan personally made for Mr. Bai were all returned, and a jade pendant token was detained by the officers and soldiers because it was a "valuable item" and needed to be handed over.

Afterwards, Zhan Yan also said to Yanran: "Mr. Lu came to say at least some of them in person, and the Bai family didn't even dare to show their face!"

Yanran said, "The Bai family has returned the things! The Lu family came over empty-handedly and Baba swept away the things I gave back then!"

The two sisters in distress actually laughed out loud because of this, and their laughter was desolate, but they were also a joy in suffering.

...

Let’s talk about it now, Lu Jia'an came to the morning before, and the Jiang family came to the afternoon.

Xiaoxiao was wondering in his heart that Lord Jiang was a big official in the Ministry of Works, and their family has always known how to seek profit and avoid harm. Now, why don’t they know how to avoid suspicion at this critical moment?

On such occasions, the masters of the Jiang family would not come in person. At this moment, the decent nanny came.

The second wife, Jiang, also met her family in the "living room". The two of them muttered and said that it took half an hour to separate reluctantly. The veteran guarding next to them couldn't help but smile again.

Naturally, the people of the Jiang family would not come empty-handed. This trip brought several new bedding, silver and a few food boxes that were brought from the restaurant.

The officers and soldiers only allowed to leave the bedding, and the others must not be kept.

The nanny of the Jiang family smiled and stuffed silver for the officers and soldiers, leaving at least a few boxes of vegetables. This proposal was coldly opposed by several people. The nanny changed her words and said that she would leave the vegetables for the soldiers to drink, but she was also opposed, saying that it was at the critical moment and the officers and soldiers did not dare to lose their jobs just because they ate a few bites of meat.

The nanny of the Jiang family was unable to do so, so she had to take it back as it was. Before leaving, she looked at the second wife meaningfully. The second wife nodded hesitantly, and then sighed silently.

Therefore, the Tang family's female family passed by the restaurant's delicacies, and they could only continue to eat the coarse grain steamed buns and dried pickled vegetables "distributed" by the government for dinner.

Zhan Yan felt that his foreign family had a long face this time, and smiled at the dining table and said, "Don't let Madam Li give her food boxes in the restaurant next time. If you want to give her, you can give her some affordable food, food and firewood!"

The second wife looked a little absent-minded. After eating most of the steamed buns in her hand, her stomach seemed to be smooth, unlike the previous two days when she retching when she ate coarse grains.

But the old lady said, "The bedding given by the in-laws is packed first. It's summer now, so I'm not in a hurry to use it."

Everyone nodded and thought to themselves that the old lady was starting to save money now, and they didn't know when this hard day would end.
