Chapter 24 Second Aunt Pretending to Be Poor

Zheng Xinyue pulled Gao Guilan's lapel. It was so embarrassing! Shouting so loudly, isn't it rubbing the second aunt's dignity on the ground?

"You silly boy, our family is the fat one in the village. The whole village is related to each other. If one person comes to eat, the house will become a canteen from now on. Even though she looks honest on the outside, she is very thoughtful. !”

Gao Guilan had a fierce face towards outsiders, but towards her daughter, she had a motherly look on her face. She spoke in a soft voice, for fear of scaring her daughter by speaking loudly. A daughter who is too kind would easily suffer.

Zheng Xinyue glanced at the closed courtyard door and saw a pair of feet through the gap under the door. The toes of the shoes she wore were exposed. She was really poor. Her mother had treated her second aunt like this, and she still couldn't bear to leave? He must be very hungry.

Thinking of her second aunt's hungry state, Zheng Xinyue's kindness overflowed and she begged Gao Guilan in a low voice.

"Mom, Second Aunt seems to be starving to death. I only gave him a bowl of porridge. Should he be fine?"

"Xinyue, you have a good heart. Mom told you that this year is another disaster year. All the crops have been eaten up by locusts. The second crop has been replanted. It has not rained for two consecutive months. Seeing that it is impossible to distribute grain in the autumn. Maybe we have to hand in the food rations to each family! Now a handful of food is more valuable than gold. What if we feed her and several of the children in the family starve to death?"

When it comes to food issues, Gao Guilan refuses to give in even to her dearest daughter.

Zheng Xinyue helplessly looked at the pair of feet that were reluctant to leave. There was only one door between them. The second aunt must have heard the conversation between her and her mother. She sighed in her heart. It's a pity that her space is a waste and there is only one door.

It would be great if there was a golden finger like the one written in the book. You can eat whatever you want, you can build egg tubes, and there is a spiritual spring. As soon as you water the ground, the crops will grow like crazy.

Zheng Xinyue was thinking wildly, and a woman's voice sounded in her ears, "Xinyue is back."

She quickly gathered her thoughts and looked at the two women and five thin carrot heads who came out of the house.

The two women looked at her with a hint of fear. They stood at the door and shouted, no one dared to come over, with a tremor in their voices.

Zheng Xinyue frowned and searched the memory of the original owner. The two women were her elder sister-in-law Li Xiuqin and second sister-in-law Li Xiuli. They were cousins ​​in their natal family.

Li Xiuqin first married into the Zheng family. Although her mother-in-law was a bit angry, she would not starve to death in the Zheng family. The men also knew how to love their wives. The third brother-in-law liked hunting and could always eat game once a month. It was better to not be hungry than to be angry with her mother-in-law. Death is all that matters.

Therefore, she introduced her second uncle's daughter Li Xiuli to her second brother-in-law, thinking that the two sisters would take care of her and her mother-in-law would have some scruples when bullying her.

It's just that she underestimated her mother-in-law's fighting power and overestimated her cousin Li Xiuli. She was more cowardly than herself and was suppressed by her mother-in-law with no intention of resisting.

When Gao Guilan saw her daughter-in-law looking at her daughter so scared that she didn't dare to come over, she immediately became angry and cursed at the top of her voice.

"What are you doing? What are you two looking at? Are you not happy that Xinyue is not dead? Don't poke me stupidly. What else do you do besides eating? You don't know how to speak human words? You came back from marrying two losers. The eldest daughter-in-law goes to cook quickly, and the second daughter-in-law goes to boil water for Xinyue to take a bath. "

"Oh. Let's go right away."

Li Xiuqin, Li Xiuli was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything back and entered the house dejectedly.

"There is a shadow, but he is not dead." Li Xiuqin whispered to her cousin. She was too arrogant and shut up after just one sentence.
