Marrying a village tyrant husband with space, being spoiled by the in-laws

Yu Suihuan took out a piece of pork weighing about five or six pounds from the space, put it in the basket, picked up the basket and walked towards the main room.

"Mom, I bought a piece of pork when we went into the city yesterday. It's raining today and we have nothing to do, so let's make dumplings together. After we are full, we will have the energy to travel tomorrow."

The eldest, second and third children, who were playing with wooden sticks in the main room, clapped their hands with joy when they saw such a big piece of pork.

"Aunt San, you are amazing. We can have meat for lunch again today."

Li Zhou put down the needle and thread in her hand and smiled.

"Okay, then we'll have dumplings for lunch today. I'll go cut some leeks and ask your eldest and second sisters-in-law to help you knead the dough and roll out the dough."

"Mom, I'll help you cut the leeks too."

Li Jiaojiao used to be a quick and nimble person at home. Now that she is at home with He Li, she rushes to do all the work, for fear of being disliked by her three sisters-in-law.

Six women worked together to make dumplings, and they were very efficient. Five or six pounds of meat and leeks filled a ceramic bowl.

Yu Suihuan used spiritual spring water when kneading dough. She drank this water for nearly a month. It not only strengthened her body, but also increased her strength.

From now on, let’s share this water with everyone to drink every day, so that everyone won’t get sick while fleeing the famine.

In ancient times, getting sick was a troublesome matter and could cost you your life if you were not careful.

She can't cure too complicated diseases, but she can treat minor illnesses and pains.

A ceramic bowl was filled with the stuffing needed to make hundreds of dumplings. All the graters and baskets available at home were used to fill it up.

"Oh my, there are so many dumplings, even if our whole family eats as much as they can, we may not be able to finish them all."

Tao Guihua laughed out loud with joy. Her third brother's wife was simply a blessing that had come to their family. Ever since the day she came into the family, they had been eating either meat or dumplings. They had not always been able to eat so well during the Chinese New Year in the past.

"Mom, bring some to my second uncle's house when it's done cooking. If we can't finish the rest, we can make fried dumplings tonight. The dumplings will be fried with pork until they are golden brown and very fragrant."

Hearing Yu Suihuan's description, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva. The dumplings were made of pork and white flour, and were fried with lard.

God!

Only a wealthy family would be willing to eat like this, but since we were about to flee the famine, we couldn't afford to lose weight.

Li Zhou also wanted to try it and see how delicious the dumplings fried with lard were.

The cooked dumplings were white and plump, and everyone was given a big bowl.

"Jiaojiao, take this bowl of dumplings to your second uncle's house."

Yu Suihuan deliberately sent Li Jiaojiao to go. Although Jiaojiao's personality was rather aggressive, the two years of marriage had been quite stimulating for her, and she had become more relaxed. She had been very quiet at home these past two days, and she didn't like to go out.

She should be allowed to go out more often, so that she knows that divorce is not a big deal, and that her family will continue to treat her the same way they treated her in the past.

Li Jiaojiao responded, took her oil-paper umbrella, held the dumplings and left the house.

The first to return home were Li Chengjia and Li Chengxing.

They all went to their respective mother-in-law's homes.

Both families were reluctant to abandon their existing houses and flee the famine with their families, so they declined the offer.

In fact, this result was expected. Although Tao Guihua and Zhang Lanxiang felt sad, they could not care too much about their parents' home in this feudal dynasty because they were already wives of the Li family.

"We've been running around in such heavy rain for the whole morning. Let's eat dumplings quickly. I don't know when the third brother will be back."

Li Zhou came out with two bowls of dumplings. Because it was raining heavily, she had to walk to go out. Her parents' home was quite far away, and she would probably not be back until the evening.

At this time, Li Chengjin had just reached the entrance of Zhoujia Village. Zhoujia Village has always been very lively because it is close to the canal.

There were many people at the ferry wearing straw raincoats and bamboo hats, queuing up to unload goods.

If it weren't for the sake of earning a few taels of silver to fill their stomachs and make a living, who would be willing to work so hard in the heavy rain?

"Come and see if the dam is going to collapse!"

An elderly man exclaimed.

The sound immediately attracted the attention of people on the shore, and everyone ran over.

"Yes, look at how long the cracks are. If the rain continues like this, the dam will definitely collapse."

"Come and have a look, this place is about to collapse!"

Following the shouting of a middle-aged man, everyone ran to him to see.

Li Chengjin couldn't help but walk forward to take a look. This dam was built a few years ago. The relief funds allocated by the court had been exploited layer by layer and there was little left. There was not enough money to build the dam, so naturally they cut corners.

It was supposed to be a few days before the dam was built, but a heavy rain came early and the dam showed signs of collapse. It seemed that it would not last until the day of construction.

"It seems that the people along the coast will suffer again. Once the dam collapses, the flood will overflow and the nearby villages and fertile fields will be submerged."

"One day's rain wouldn't have broken the dam, but the upstream Huizhou Prefecture has had heavy rain for several days, flooding dozens of villages. The flood is so fierce that I'm afraid you won't be able to save your place in a few days."

"Our ship will stop operating when we reach the next stop, Yuzhou Prefecture."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who walked out of the cabin. He traveled back and forth with his master's merchant ship all year round, and had seen and heard a lot.

He was also kindly reminding everyone that if a flood really broke the dam, after all, dozens of villages would mean thousands or even tens of thousands of lives!

When the people on the shore heard his words, they couldn't help but show anxious and sad expressions on their faces.

Life was already difficult, as most of the family's food had been paid as grain tax. Now the rain has been falling for a whole day, and it seems to be getting heavier. If the dam really collapses, dozens of nearby villages will suffer.

If this really floods, what should we do?

"God's will cannot be violated. After unloading the cargo, everyone should hurry home to pack up and take shelter with their wives and children. If the dam really collapses, it will be too late to escape."

“This is not going to allow us ordinary people to survive.

I won't do this job today. I'm going to pack up my things and take my wife and children to my mother-in-law's house for shelter."

The young man who was talking walked towards home without looking back. His wife was from another county, far away from here, and the terrain there was higher. For the safety of the whole family, no matter whether the dam would collapse or not, he had better hide first.

After looking at the dam with cracks, Li Chengjin did not stay any longer and walked quickly towards Zhou's house.

It had been raining all day and it was impossible to go out. Yunniang cooked a big pot of sweet potatoes. The family had just married their son Zhou Tian off and spent five taels of silver. There was not much money left in the family, so they still had to live frugally.
