Due to Gao Xiulan’s irregular habits, Lin Shuhong has been anxious when she went to work within the afternoon. Though she needed to reside individually, she solely dared to inform her man about this matter, to not her mother-in-law. If her mother-in-law finds out, the entire village and the entire manufacturing workforce will certainly find out about it. Possibly she1Gao Xiulan will even go to her mom’s home to make bother ……

On the considered that scene, Lin Shuhong shuddered. Her natal household from prime to backside are trustworthy individuals, she initially sought Su Aiguo as a result of he was trustworthy, similar to her household, so she selected him.

If her mother-in-law goes to her natal home to make bother, how can her household battle towards her2pertaining Gao Xiulan.?

So when she bought off work, she secretly mentioned along with her man Su Aiguo,

“Aiguo, I stated earlier than that we should always reside alone3split from the household., you didn’t inform mother, proper?”

Su Aiguo’s face went darkish when he heard that she was nonetheless speaking about splitting from the household.

“Why are you continue to speaking about it? I stated that we will’t cut up the household. I’m the eldest son. Even we reside alone, my mom remains to be going to reside with us. Shuhong, after we bought married, we talked about this, why do you modify your thoughts?”

Lin Shuhong thought, ‘Earlier than we bought married, I didn’t count on your mom to spoil her daughter a lot. I additionally thought she loves her daughter a lot so, she have to be totally different from different mothers-in-law.’

Because of this……

After marrying to Su household, Lin Shuhong understood the reality. Marriage actually can’t simply be primarily based on careless considering.

The results of reckless considering is that the mother-in-law will let you know that you’re daydreaming.

Lin Shuhong felt plenty of emotion in her coronary heart, and she or he was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t breathe. However she didn’t wish to say a phrase to her man. After so a few years, she had already observed that her man’s mind was irregular. In his coronary heart, along with his mom, there may be additionally a sister.

And some days in the past she even daydreamed of making an attempt to get him to separate the household …… Why did she even assume so?

Now, it provokes the mother-in-law.

Su Aiguo remains to be persuading, “You see now that the eldest sister is giving meat to the household. Now there are only a few households within the workforce that may eat meat. Two days in the past, the spouse of the outdated cripple’s household within the east of the village died, didn’t they simply carry her out and bury her? Or secretly went out in the midst of the night time and dig a deep gap to bury her. Inform me, within the present state of affairs, isn’t our household is what others dream of?

My sister doesn’t work as a result of our mom stated that it’s a drawback inside her4Gao Xiulan’s womb. She5Lin Qinghe feels uncomfortable when she strikes. She’s nonetheless younger and has by no means seen our father since she was a baby. How pitiful is that?

What number of years can my sister nonetheless keep at home6’trigger ya know again then it was like a objective of a lady’s life to be married. So, she’s going to reside in her husband’s home and serve his mother and father. ? Why can’t you tolerate her? What’s mistaken along with her consuming extra? She used to eat a lot once you haven’t entered the door7enter the door means married into the household. but. We give all of the scrumptious meals to our sister. How can it change when a daughter-in-law enters the door? Mom will likely be scolded by the outdated individuals within the village if that occurs.”

Lin Shuhong’s head was dizzy. After she heard her man say this, she felt that she was too unhealthy to her sister-in-law. She used to reside like this at residence. How may she not be used to it as quickly as she entered the home? After she married, she nonetheless needed to encourage her man to separate, no matter her little sister-in-law… The household didn’t give her a chunk to eat kind of. Sure, she wasn’t starved to demise?

Her kids didn’t starve to demise, wait, kids? Lin Shuhong all of the sudden found that one thing was mistaken. Why ought to she sympathize along with her sister-in-law? Her little one was nonetheless hungry every single day, and her mother-in-law was pressed all day lengthy. She needs to separate the household in order that her kids can have sufficient to eat!

Taking a look at Su Aiguo, who was nonetheless speaking, Lin Shuhong all of the sudden realized that she was nearly swayed in by her personal man simply now.

Lin Shuhong appeared on the sky, feeling just a little determined in her coronary heart. She discovered that she was dwelling with an irregular household and she or he may change into irregular in the future.

She felt that if in the future she solely has her sister-in-law and mother-in-law in her coronary heart, there will likely be darkness in entrance of her eyes.

“How many individuals are like my sister? In any other case, the cadres won’t acknowledge her as their goddaughter. Can cadres nonetheless be blind? So for those who don’t like our eldest sister, you might be blind…” Su Aiguo confidently causes together with his spouse.

Lin Shuhong lastly couldn’t maintain it anymore. Her man often doesn’t make a farce. However when speaking about his sister, he can at all times discuss three days and three nights continuous.

“Aiguo, let’s not discuss it. I used to be mistaken okay. I’m not splitting up the household. I’ll simply ask for those who instructed mom. I’m afraid Mom will likely be offended.”

Su Aiguo heard that Lin Shuhong was lastly persuaded by him, and felt relieved. He smiled and stated, “I didn’t say it, don’t fear. I do know you might be confused for some time. What am I speaking about with mother?”

Lin Shuhong: “…” No, it’s not me who’s confused, it’s you!

When the couple returned residence, Gao Xiulan had already cooked. She would by no means let her daughters-in-law do issues like cooking except she didn’t wish to transfer.

Today, whoever cooks is the one who’s in cost. On this household, after all, she is in cost. Along with her daughter, she received’t let anybody.

Lin Shuhong didn’t dare to relaxation when she returned residence. She went into the kitchen to assist Gao Xiulan serve meals. Seeing that there was nothing mistaken with Gao Xiulan’s face, she felt relaxed.

It appears that evidently her mother-in-law actually doesn’t know.

Su Qinghe didn’t know that as a result of she made her mom, Gao Xiulan treats her granddaughters just a little higher, she gave her sister-in-law Lin Shuhong a false alarm.

As a result of she had simply been upgraded, she straight gave herself a two-day trip.

The unique proprietor was somebody who didn’t even maintain up a brush. So nobody was shocked when she cooked just a few meals and all of the sudden didn’t do it.

The one factor that makes individuals just a little unhappy is that she often places extra meat when she cooks. When Gao Xiulan instructs her two daughters-in-law to cook dinner, the quantity is beneath management.

Gao Xiulan just isn’t anxious that her daughter will be unable to eat it, anyway, she will open a small range for her daughter.

And now nobody can say a phrase. Eat meat if in case you have the flexibility!

Gao Xiulan is now consciously dependent. She is filled with confidence and is extra vigorous at residence.

As quickly because the household completed consuming, they heard the sound of gongs and drums exterior, which was a sign for the workforce to convene a gathering.

Might is a busy month, there isn’t a time to speak nonsense through the day. Every part is reserved for the night.

The pinnacle of the Su household is of course Gao Xiulan. How can she be absent from a giant occasion corresponding to a gathering? So she organized for her daughters-in-law to remain at residence to take care of the home, and took her two sons to the assembly.

Su Qinghe additionally adopted them. Presently, there was not even a kerosene lamp in the home, and she or he was scared at residence by herself many of the night time. At all times anxious that Comrade Su Dagen would actually come residence…

And she or he additionally needs to see how the convention of this period is held.

Gao Xiulan initially needed her daughter to sleep at residence, however when she heard that she needed to observe them, she couldn’t assist it. She let her seize some candy potatoes to take along with her. When she will get bored, she may eat it. That is to deal with the assembly as if it have been a film.

When the Su household arrived, many different households had additionally arrived. At night time, solely obscure outlines have been seen round. On this manner, everybody acknowledged one another and shouted howdy.

“Oh, Qinghe has come out. I haven’t seen you for a lot of days. Often, you don’t step out of the door. I assumed they raised the owner’s spouse.”

Su Qinghe was trying round when she heard a voice with a damaged gong.

She circled and noticed that it was a skinny, middle-aged girl. Su Qinghe squinted her eyes, and thru the reminiscence of the unique proprietor, she acknowledged that this was her second aunt Gao Xiuju. Married to the identical manufacturing workforce as Gao Xiulan, however not in the identical village. Gao Xiuju was in Tianjia Village.

They seldom see one another at atypical occasions, and solely see one another at this convention. In fact, she8Gao Xiuju and Gao Xiulan have a giant battle, in order that they need to pinch one another after they meet.

Gao Xiuju’s pinch level is Gao Xiulan’s child bump, Su Qinghe. And that one pinch is correct. Su Qinghe hasn’t spoken but, Gao Xiulan already exploded,

“What’s mistaken? Our Qing’er is blessed, and three older brothers are prepared to like her. Some persons are simply not fortunate. The daughters can solely be used to lift their brother. I say second9Referring to Gao Xiuju for she’s the Second Daughter., whether or not your daughter-in-law provides start to a son or a daughter, don’t blame your daughter-in-law. You’ve solely given start to a few daughters earlier than you gave start to a son. That is realized from you.”

Gao Xiuju’s outdated face all of the sudden couldn’t maintain up. She couldn’t see her face clearly at the hours of darkness, however Su Qinghe felt her anger.

That’s proper, the rationale why her second aunt Gao Xiuju had a battle along with her mom Gao Xiulan was due to the difficulty of childbirth. The 2 have been additionally born in battle, Gao Xiulan is the third daughter of the Gao household, and the second Gao Xiuyu is simply over a yr aside. The 2 have been married in the identical yr, and each had kids collectively.

Each time Gao Xiuju had a daughter, Gao Xiulan instantly gave start to a son, after which Gao Xiuju gave start to a different daughter, and Gao Xiulan instantly gave start to a different son… After that, Gao Xiulan didn’t wish to give start anymore, so she rested. Because of this, Gao Xiuju gave start to a child son instantly.

At the moment, feudal superstition had not been abolished, Gao Xiuju went to somebody to calculate her destiny. She stated that Gao Xiulan was born to suppress her. If the 2 of them have been pregnant on the identical time, she can be suppressed and couldn’t give start to a son. After Gao Xiulan heard about it, she felt that it was b*llsh*t, and she or he couldn’t pull shit, so she blamed the pit10latrine pit.. However Gao Xiuju believed it…

So this battle was made.

Su Qinghe tried to alleviate this contradiction, so she comforted Gao Xiuju, “Second aunt, actually, the start of a kid is simply the identical. A daughter is the mom’s intimate little cotton-padded jacket. They’ll additionally present for the aged. You possibly can assume brazenly in your coronary heart.”

Gao Xiulan felt that her daughter was ridiculing Gao Xiuju, so she sneered, “Our Qing’er is correct, have a look at how a lot I treasure Qing’er. A woman must be liked. My three sons all love her. You must also let your son be a brother to your three daughters. In case your daughter-in-law provides start to a daughter, that can also be your blessing.”

Su Qinghe: “…”

“…” Gao Xiuju felt that her coronary heart was stabbed a number of occasions by the 2.

“You black-hearted mom and daughter, why didn’t the following thunder strike you to demise?!”

Gao Xiulan stated, “I’ve three sons to dam for me, I received’t be struck.”

Gao Xiuju was so offended that she misplaced the power to battle with Gao Xiulan.

Su Qinghe was anxious that she would get offended and pulled Gao Xiulan, “Mother, isn’t it a gathering, why hasn’t it began but?”

Gao Xiulan was interrupted and ignored Gao Xiuju. She checked out her daughter lovingly, “We nonetheless need to notify the individuals from the opposite two villages to come back over. That is the unhealthy factor concerning the individuals in our workforce, they’re too scattered. Different villages are huge, a village is a brigade. It’s a lot easier than us.”

The Yellow River manufacturing workforce consists of three small villages, Sujia Village, Tianjia Village, and Sunjia Village. As a result of Sujia Village has the most individuals and its geographical location is near the commune, conferences are often held right here.

Su Qinghe was relieved to see that she had forgotten to quarrel. Seeing Gao Xiuju was taken away by two women. She chatted with Gao Xiulan, “Mother, what do you assume this assembly is about?”

“What else can it’s, it’s positively concerning the meals.”

After ready for some time, individuals from different villages additionally rushed over. Seeing that everybody was nearly there, the outdated captain Guo Changsheng beat the gongs and drums to sign everybody to calm down. Then stood on prime of the mound of earth within the sq.. The entire particular person is elevated so that everybody can have a look at him.

Guo Changsheng is in his fifties and isn’t a neighborhood. He was initially assigned to this place to quiet down after he was discharged from the military. As a result of he was a soldier, though he was not tall, he appeared very energetic and spoke with confidence.

Nonetheless, at the moment, his spirit seems to be just a little unhealthy. After trying round on the group, he was silent for just a few seconds earlier than talking with problem,

“This time the meals is about to be collected. In accordance with the directions above, the output of our workforce this yr is certainly not sufficient. Now we have solely collected 18,000 kilos of grain this time, final yr’s report was 32,000. That is nonetheless the least reported, and it’s nonetheless not sufficient. Comrades, the grain we collected this yr can’t be distributed.

At the moment, we name everybody over is to additionally let everybody have a psychological preparation. Each household shouldn’t watch the harvest and eat with their stomach open. This yr, we can’t eat new grain and tighten the belt of our pants. Not less than till the autumn harvest.”

Guo Changsheng’s phrases have been like a bolt out of the blue, and it instantly made the entire workforce noisy.

The meals at house is about to backside out, and now the newly harvested ones should not distributed?

Till the autumn harvest? The autumn harvest remains to be just a few months away, if we don’t survive till then, we should starve to demise?

“Captain Guo, this isn’t okay. Our household’s meals has lengthy been gone and there may be nothing to eat. Our household has eaten the bark for a number of days, and our intestines can’t stand it anymore. My mom and my mother-in-law can’t maintain going…”

It was cripple Su within the east of the village who harm his leg when he was younger. He lastly bought a spouse and gave start to a number of kids. Now in famine years, his spouse bought edema as a result of she saved a chunk for the kids to eat. She was sick and simply died just a few days in the past.

Everybody within the village is aware of about this, they set free just a few sighs. There should not many issues like this, but it surely’s common prior to now two years.

Gao Xiulan whispered to her daughter about cripple Su’s household, after which educates her, “Qing’er, pay attention, Should you don’t eat, you’ll starve to demise. You possibly can eat no matter we now have at residence. Su’s spouse was reluctant to eat and gave it to others to eat, so she bought edema and died.”

Su Qinghe was in an unusually heavy temper.

The unique proprietor didn’t care about exterior affairs earlier than, so the issues that occurred in her reminiscence have been all instructed by her household. She was calm and didn’t really feel a lot, at most set free just a few sighs.

However right here, watching cripple Su crying and complaining concerning the tragic state of affairs of their household, and she or he couldn’t assist however really feel heavy.

Guo Changsheng’s coronary heart can also be heavy.

These are all his fellow villagers. When he got here again from the military, it was these fellow villagers who accepted him, allowed him to take root right here, and made him the captain of the brigade.

However he, the captain, didn’t let the guy villagers have a superb life.

Nonetheless, he was additionally helpless. That is the that means of the commune. This yr, the commune reported a big quantity, which turned a lot when it was apportioned.

“Fellow people, there’ll at all times be difficulties. So many storms and waves have come over earlier than. Now the times are peaceable. Let’s work laborious to outlive this famine yr, and our good days are coming. The autumn harvest is coming quickly, and we’ll try to distribute the grain through the autumn harvest. The commune has additionally promised that if the grain is confiscated within the autumn harvest, it’ll apply for reduction grain. Let’s all survive just a little longer.”

Guo Changsheng was nearly crying.

The others didn’t say a phrase, nothing will change anyway. In the event that they disagree, can the grain assortment workforce not come to gather grain?

When the assembly ended, everybody was in a nasty temper. Even Gao Xiulan sighed, on the best way she mentioned along with her two sons that the household could have fewer meals sooner or later.

That is nonetheless just a few months away from the autumn harvest. With so many mouths within the household, there may be positively not sufficient meals. And after at the moment’s assembly, she was afraid there may be not a lot bark left. Don’t even take into consideration consuming wild greens at residence sooner or later.

“Qing’er can’t eat much less, she just isn’t wholesome, and may’t be hungry. I can eat one chunk much less.” Gao Xiulan stated.

The 2 sons naturally received’t let her eat one chunk much less, Su Aiguo stated, “Mother, have a look at what you stated, I can’t allow you to take a chunk much less. Sister’s ration is actually quite a bit. How she eats earlier than won’t change sooner or later.”

Gao Xiulan nodded in satisfaction.

Su Qinghe was silent. She felt that it was too sinful for her to be lazy in such occasions.

She cooks! she cooks!

Again at residence, Gao Xiulan gave the order to eat one meal the following day.

Others know the state of affairs and don’t have any opinion. It’s simply that Lin Shuhong checked out her kids and felt bitter in her coronary heart. Lastly, the mother-in-law began to vary just a little bit and let the kids eat extra. Now it’s going to be what it was.

Why is her little one struggling?

Gao Xiulan ignored the opposite individuals’s ideas, went again to the room, and made a want to the large urn,

“Dagen, you additionally heard it. Now it’s so troublesome, so you may ship some extra meals. In any other case, we’ll starve to demise. You heartless, don’t simply stand by and watch. By the best way, we additionally want a giant iron pot at residence. The clay pot wastes wooden. You possibly can’t bear to see me working laborious all day to gather some firewood, are you able to?”

Within the different room, Su Qinghe lay on the mattress and started to examine her cupboard space.

Within the house, aside from the small quantity of meals and meat left from the earlier job, there may be additionally a giant iron pot.

It appeared that subsequent time, she must take extra issues. She will be able to’t let the household solely eat one meal a day. At the moment, even for those who don’t die from hunger, you’re going to get edema.
