Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

Qian State, Wangjia Village.

It is very hot in June.

There was not a trace of moisture in the air, and not a trace of green in the fields.

Many people sat on the ground and cried bitterly as they looked at the fields with no harvest.

After crying, you still have to find a way to survive.

Just listen to the village chief.

The house has been tidied up, but I just can’t bear to go take another look at the fields.

The last bit of hesitation in my heart disappeared.

"Mom, Ruoxue and Yuxuan haven't come back yet"

A skinny woman felt disappointed when she saw her family members preparing a lot of things.

"Their surname is Leng, not Wang"

A fat, dark woman did not stop what she was doing and expressed what the skinny woman was worried about.

The skinny woman looked at her so-called husband.

When Wang Qinghe saw Liu Ruxu's gaze, he avoided it guiltily and pretended not to hear it.

What a pity, I didn’t have time to consummate the marriage after marrying her.

The fat black woman couldn't help getting angry when she saw her son dodging.

"You are such an unlucky person that you killed your own husband. If it weren't for my Qinghe family feeling sorry for you and your widow, and your parents-in-law urgently needing money to treat their illnesses, why would they have married you as their concubine?"

"It's fine that you killed your husband, but the moment you entered the house, the fields became dry. In my opinion, you shouldn't have married me, and you brought two burdens with you. You even said that you had to stay with your husband for a year before you could consummate the marriage with my son."

"You just want my family to raise your Leng family's children? In this situation, we don't even know if we can survive, so how can we care about those two little bastards?"

"But... you knew that the whole village was going to flee the famine tonight, and you still let them go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables?"

Liu Ruxu now understood that her two children were deliberately sent away by Wang's maid.

It's a drought like this, there's no water at all, so where can we find wild vegetables?

It’s a pity that my family kept it secret so tightly. I only realized now that the whole village will have to flee the famine tonight.

"It's just their bad luck that they happened to be caught up in it."

A little girl about seven years old was busy packing her things and rolled her eyes at her stepmother when she heard this.

She hated her stepmother, who was taciturn and only smiled when she saw her own children.

Each family member could only get half a bowl of porridge every day, and there was no share for the woman and her children.

But the woman shared her half bowl of porridge with her two children.

She wasn't given a single bite and she was hungry every day.

Although she was dressed better than them, she was jealous of having a mother like her protecting her child. If her mother were still alive, she would definitely give her half a bowl of porridge.

"Don't think I'll abandon my child."

Liu Ruxu turned around and was about to go out to find the child by herself.

"Bull, Pearl, stop her"

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly gave orders to her grandchildren.

Seeing that the two children couldn't be stopped, "If you step out of this door today, you will no longer be the daughter-in-law of my Wang family. Think it through."

He said the harsh words and glared at his silent son.

If the family didn't need a woman to take care of it and help with the work in the fields, she would not have agreed to her son marrying this widow.

"Wang Qinghe, what do you say?"

Liu Ruxu couldn't care too much at this time.

It was impossible for her to abandon her child. She agreed to remarry only after Wang Qinghe promised that he would be good to her and the child.

"You don't have to threaten my son. I can make the decision on this matter."

The fat and dark Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and looked at her cowardly son.

It was a good opportunity to take advantage of this incident to get rid of the two kids from the Leng family.

"Wang Qinghe, bring me the divorce letter!"

Liu Ruxu risked her life.

I want to die with my children.

"Return the divorce letter. My family gave you a betrothal gift of 5 taels of silver. If you bring it, you will be allowed to divorce. If you can't bring it, you will be divorced."

During this severe drought, there is no work in the fields and no livestock at home. If we don't need this labor force, we can save some food.

Wang Po accepted the loss of 5 taels of silver.

Even if she didn't leave now, Mrs. Wang was planning to sell her off, so it would be great if she could get her back.

It’s just that the village chief notified us in a hurry and we didn’t have time to get there.

A divorced woman is worse than a widow. A widow's husband has died, and being divorced is a crime.

If you don't grasp it now, it will be even harder to grasp it later.

Mrs. Wang was sure that Liu Ruxu would not dare to be divorced. As a widow who had married twice, she would have no way to survive if she was divorced.

How could Liu Ruxu not know what Mrs. Wang was thinking about? However, thinking of her own children, she said, "Let's just divorce her!"

Liu Ruxu had no attachment to this unfamiliar home.

At that time, I endured it all for the sake of my ex-parents-in-law and my two children.

She does the most work, eats the least, and has to share her share with her two children.

He ate tree roots and drank water every day to fill his stomach.

Now it is obvious that the life of my child is in danger, so I'll just divorce him.

"Liu, you have to think it over."

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that this woman who could do nothing with just three sticks would actually become tough.

"If you dare to take a break, I will take it. Hurry up and don't delay me from going out to look for the child."

"Qinghe, give her a divorce letter! I don't think you will cry until you see the coffin!"

Mrs. Wang was also furious.

"mother……"

Wang Qinghe was a little reluctant.

"If you don't divorce her, we can't leave today. Do you still want to go find those two burdens?"

Wang Qinghe hesitated for a moment, opened the bundle, and wrote the divorce letter.

Liu Ruxu signed her name without thinking.

Yes, she can read.

When she was picked up by her ex-mother-in-law's family, she could already read, but she had no memory of her own life experience.

Picking up the divorce letter, he said, "Mrs. Wang, please take a good look. I am no longer a member of your family. Ask them to get out of the way."

Liu Ruxu was anxious to find her own children, hoping that she could still escape with the villagers.

"Open the door and let her go. I won't let you in even if you beg me in the future."

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that Liu Ruxu really didn't care.

"Uncle Wang, your family should hurry up, everyone should gather together."

A voice came from outside the door.

Liu Ruxu thought about it and went to the village entrance.

At the entrance of the village, everyone was gathering, pushing carts and carrying bags.

"Village head, my child has gone to the mountains to look for wild vegetables and has not come back yet. Can you ask someone to help look for him?"

Liu Ruxu found the village chief and knelt down.

"What? Are you still looking for wild vegetables at this time? Didn't the village notify us yesterday to set off today?"

The village chief was also surprised.

He knew the Wang family, the literate widow from Lengjia Village.

Not only is she beautiful, she is also literate and capable. When she first spread the word that she wanted to remarry to raise money for her parents-in-law's medical expenses, many bachelors in the village were tempted.

It means taking care of a pair of children, not changing their household registration, and raising them until they reach adulthood.

So many people backed off.

Finally she was married to Wang Qinghe.
