The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Zhao Ying——Mother of Gu Qinghuai

She was very ashamed. Her daughter had suffered a lot in the Zhou family, and when she finally returned home, they couldn't even cook a decent meal.

After paying the tax, there was very little of the newly harvested wheat left.

In order to eat longer, they took the new grain to the town and exchanged it for inferior coarse grains.

They didn't even dare to eat coarse grains to their heart's content. When cooking wild vegetables for each meal, they would consider it a luxury to sprinkle a small handful of them.

They dare not even think about luxury items like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Because there has been no oil or water for a long time, everyone in the family suffers from constipation.

Now, defecation has become a nightmare for the whole family, and the toilet is also a terrifying existence.

Even when her stupid husband was taking a shit, his mind regained some clarity, his eyeballs moved a little more flexibly, and he could even make a "grunt" sound.

Normally he makes no sound at all.

Gu Qingshan noticed his mother’s uneasiness, he said gently: “Mom, make the wild vegetable porridge thicker.” At worst he could learn to weave bamboo baskets in the dark and earn some more money.

"Yeah, okay," Zhao Ying agreed with her head down.

Gu Qinghuai saw the predicament of her mother and elder brother. Her "big bag" contained grain and meat, so of course she had to take them out to share.

Once Zhou Genchang and Wu Quezi's "affair" is discovered, there will definitely be some commotion.

Moreover, Zhou Genchang broke both his legs and needed immediate treatment. Even if he was bandaged, the pain would be so severe that he would not want to cause trouble for himself.

Therefore, the Zhou family should not have come to Tuniu Village so quickly.

At least not in the last few days.

"Mother, wait a minute," Gu Qinghuai turned around and took out a bag of rice from his big bag, which was estimated to weigh more than 30 kilograms.

In fact, in order to make the bag look bigger, Gu Qinghuai put a large basket inside it, creating the illusion that she was carrying a lot of things.

"What is this?" Zhao Ying asked.

Gu Qinghuai opened the rice bag and reached out to grab a handful of rice to show them, "This is rice. We will eat rice in the morning."

She really wanted to taste the rice that the system rewarded her with. She had just traveled through the apocalypse and was craving for it.

Besides, the original owner's body also needs to be nourished as she has a baby in her belly.

Although she took some body-strengthening pills, her physical fitness would definitely be better with the help of food supplements.

In addition to her, the whole family of her mother's family also needs to replenish nutrition in time. If they continue to be hungry like this, they will definitely have serious problems with their bodies.

And Liuya, if you eat better, maybe you will grow taller.

The three members of the Gu family and Zhou Liuya were all stunned.

The white rice was so crystal clear, they had never eaten it before!

Zhou Liuya: Even the Zhou family doesn’t have this rice, where did my second sister-in-law get it from?

“It’s so heavy, and Third Sister carried it here like this?” Gu Qingshan asked after coming to his senses.

It is three or four miles from Zhoujia Village to Tuniu Village. My third sister was so pregnant, but she carried the baby so far.

Gu Qinghuai held his old waist and pretended to be very tired, "It's worth it to die of exhaustion just to carry this mouthful of food."

Gu Qingshan: ...

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 1 point of male admiration! The total admiration score is 6 points. ]

Gu Qinghuai glanced at Gu Qingshan. He thought to himself that his elder brother admired her for risking her life for food.

Gu Qingshan thought about it and still reminded: "Third sister, you are pregnant, so don't carry heavy objects in the future. No matter how precious the food is, it is not as important as your life and your nephew's life."

"Yeah, girl, why are you so troublesome? If something goes wrong halfway—" Zhao Ying seemed to suddenly remember something when she was halfway through her words. She grabbed Gu Qinghuai's hand and said in panic, "Xiaohuai, tell me honestly, is this rice from the Zhou family? If so, we can't take it!"

Once the daughter leaves the Zhou family, the Zhou family will not let her go easily. If she takes the Zhou family's good rice again, the Zhou family will be in an uproar.

Moreover, when a woman leaves her husband's family, she cannot take anything away from him except her dowry, not even a small needle or thread, unless his family gives it to him.

When my daughter married her son-in-law, the family was in great financial difficulty and she had no dowry at all. She only brought a basket of vegetables.

Therefore, this rice can only be the food of the Zhou family. The old couple in the Zhou family are stingy and selfish, and they want to sell her daughter to make money, so they will never take the initiative to give her daughter anything.

That means my daughter took it secretly.

“No,” Gu Qinghuai shook his head and lowered his voice, “Mother, my luck has been very good since I became pregnant. When I went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables, I found two hundred-year-old ginsengs. I secretly sold one and bought this bag of rice. It has nothing to do with the Zhou family.”

Folk Feng Shui believes that pregnancy will bring good luck to the family, especially when it is a girl. In order not to expose the system, Gu Qinghuai can only let the unborn baby take the blame.

"Two...ginsengs? They're hundreds...hundred years old?" Gu Zhao was shocked.

Gu Qingshan was also shocked, Third Sister’s luck was simply incredible!

Even the oldest person in the village had never heard of anyone digging up a hundred-year-old ginseng, let alone digging up two at a time.

Could it be that the baby my third sister is pregnant with is really a lucky little boy?

Zhou Liuya was surprised, but secretly relieved. Fortunately, her second sister-in-law was smart and secretly hid the ginseng, otherwise it would have been taken advantage of by the Zhou family.

Gu Qinghuai was afraid that they would not believe him, so he took out the hundred-year-old ginseng that the system rewarded him and showed it to them.

Zhao Ying: "Oh my god! This... this is really ginseng!"

Gu Qingshan didn’t say anything, but his face was full of excitement.

Gu Qingmiao: This...is just a white radish, the kind with lots of roots.

Zhou Liuya: So this is what a century-old ginseng looks like? She thought it would sparkle.

Gu Qinghuai said: "I plan to keep this ginseng to nourish my mother, elder brother and father."

Zhao Ying and Gu Qingshan looked at each other in shock, both of them had their heads buzzing.

My daughter (third sister) wants to give them hundred-year-old ginseng?

These country folk, with their worthless lives, are they worthy of eating ginseng?

Taking advantage of the moment when his mother and eldest brother were stunned, Gu Qinghuai took out another twenty taels of silver and stuffed it into Zhao Ying's pocket, "Mother, please keep this twenty taels of silver first."

Gu Qinghuai was going to cook later, and she was worried that her mother and elder brother, who had always tightened their belts, would think her cooking was too extravagant, so she took out twenty taels of silver as a base to reassure them.

Where had Zhao Ying ever seen so much silver?

The two silver ingots are plump, heavy, and shining!

She was like holding two hot potatoes, her hands were shaking with nervousness, and she had to return the silver to Gu Qinghuai: "Huai, mother doesn't want it, mother can't take your money, these are your living expenses, you have to keep them!"

Gu Qinghuai twisted her body and refused to take it. "Mother, what are you doing? You said I was being distant before, but you are the one being distant! I am your own daughter, and it is only natural for me to give you some money as a filial piety! Don't worry, I still have a lot of money here, enough for me to spend. You and big brother can relax. In the future, I will find ways to make more money, and you can just wait and enjoy yourself."
