She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

That night, Gu Qingqing suddenly remembered something. While taking off her clothes, she said to Wen Wuyan, "You see, all the children in the village are starting to learn, so our three children should not be left behind. Ask Uncle Yang tomorrow to see if Dahua and the others have learned what he is teaching now. If not, I want them to attend the class as well. It can't be in our backyard while our children can't learn."

"I'll go ask now." Wen Wuyan said as he turned around and was about to go out.

Gu Qingqing thought that Old Yang and Daxin must be lying down at this time, so she quickly called him, "There's no rush tonight, it's the same if we ask them tomorrow morning. They must have rested."

Wen Wuyan's voice came from outside, "It's okay, I'll just go and ask."

Wen Wuyan left quickly and came back quickly, "Uncle Yang said that our family is not in a hurry to learn now, and he will come to call us when we need him."

Knowing that they would have to wait a little longer, Gu Qingqing felt relieved, "Okay, got it, go to sleep quickly, I have to work in the fields tomorrow."

The next day, all the children were in the one and a third acre of field outside the village, and even Sanhua was brought out.

A winter door curtain was laid at the edge of the field, and Erhua was responsible for taking Sanhua to sit on the curtain and play.

Before yesterday, she would have let the children stay at home. After seeing the children from the next village yesterday, she realized that her ideas were wrong. The children should go to the fields with them. The hardship of farming now will prevent them from starving to death in the future.

Today they were turning the soil. The sorghum they planted last year was in the field. After the sorghum was harvested, there were still some sorghum stubble left in the field.

Of course, the donkey came along today, but we didn't expect it to work. In Gu Qingqing's words, the donkey was still young and needed to be raised for a few more days. It would first come along to get familiar with the environment and then work after a couple of days.

So, the people who were working were Wen Wuyan and Gu Qingqing, who were turning the soil with shovels and pickaxes while digging out the sorghum roots.

Dahua and Daxin followed behind them and picked up the sorghum. After they had picked up a full pile, they knocked off the excess dirt on the sorghum roots and put them in a bamboo basket. Daxin carried it on his back while Dahua supported him from behind.

Walk to the cart at the end of the field and pour the sorghum roots onto the cart. Sorghum roots are good things. After being pulled back and dried a little, they can be used as firewood.

When Daxin and Dahua saw that there were only a few sorghum roots dug out from the ground, the two younger ones picked up baskets and went to the edge of the field to dig up tender grass to take back to feed the rabbits and sheep at home.

Gu Qingqing looked at the half-dug ground with starry eyes, and sat down on the ground spinelessly.

Wen Wuyan noticed her situation and stopped what he was doing. He hurriedly walked up to her and saw that her face was slightly pale. Wen Wuyan asked nervously, "Qingqing, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. I'll sit for a while."

"How can you be okay? You look a little pale. There is not much work here. You can take Erhua and Sanhua back. I can do it alone." Wen Wuyan said to her with concern.

Then he turned around and fetched a bamboo tube filled with water from nearby and gave it to her, "Drink some water first."

Gu Qingqing didn't refuse. It was really because she had made this body a little lazy, and she also lacked mental stamina, so she couldn't hold on any longer.

"Aunt, what's wrong with you?" Daxin noticed the situation here and ran over.

"Mom!" Dahua, who followed closely behind, was also worried.

Gu Qingqing looked at the two children who worked so hard and cursed herself in her heart. She immediately stood up from the ground and forced a smile. "It's okay. I just sat down to drink some water. Do you want some water?"

Gu Qingqing asked, holding up the bamboo tube in her hand.

"Aunt, you don't look well. You must be tired. Give me the shovel and I'll do the digging. You go and take a rest." Li Xin said as he went to grab the tools in her hand, but was stopped by Gu Qingqing.

Are you kidding? As an adult, how could she watch him do such a thing?

"No need, I'll do it." Gu Qingqing said, waving the tools in her hand and continued working.

By noon, there were only two-fifths of the field left. Gu Qingqing really felt that something was wrong with her today. Even if she had been lazy for the whole winter, there was no reason why she would feel dizzy after doing a little work.

Wen Wuyan, who had been keeping an eye on her, walked over and snatched the wooden handle from her hand, "Qingqing, stop busying yourself, take the kids back and make lunch. I'll be back after I finish here. This will also allow me to have a bite of the ready-made food."

Gu Qingqing looked at the awkward work in the fields and realized that she had really overestimated her own labor power. She knew that the work could not be finished in one morning. She would have brought some dry food with her when she came out. Why should she be like this now, with the work not finished and it was time for lunch?

If you don't eat, you will feel weak all over due to hunger.

Want to eat?

You can only do it at home!

What a mistake!

"Let's go back together and come back after we have dinner. Even though there isn't much left, it will take a while for the two of us to finish the work. How long will it take you to finish it alone? Let's go to the village chief's house in the afternoon to see if his plow is available. If not, send the donkey in the afternoon." Gu Qingqing said a little tiredly.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a donkey or not. What matters is that Wen Wuyan sees that she is in poor spirits and refuses to take the child back, so he has no choice but to give up.

We planned to go back together first, let her catch her breath, and then talk about it in the afternoon.

As a result, when they were about to pack up and go back, Dahua suddenly shouted to a figure, "Dad, Mom, look, Grandpa Yang is here."

When Old Yang came closer with a basket in his hand, he said, "It's getting late and I don't see you guys going back, so I heated up some steamed buns and fried a dish. Do you want to eat here?"

"Okay, okay!" Gu Qingqing was really hungry.

The water in the bamboo tube slightly wet the towel, let the children wipe their hands, and then urged them to eat.

When she put the steamed bun made of sorghum flour and white flour into her mouth, she instantly tasted its fragrance.

He said to Old Yang in a slurred voice, "Uncle Yang, Niyeci."

Old Yang waved his hand at her and said, "I've eaten at home, you guys eat first, I'll go help you dig for a while."

"I'm going too." Li Xin, who had not done any work digging sorghum roots the whole morning, now ran to the field with a steamed bun in his mouth, following Old Yang.

Li Xin is at least an eleven-year-old boy, and Gu Qingqing never lacks food for them. Now he is turning the soil with farm tools, and he does it very well.

Gu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh, no wonder people in this era are competing for sons, half-grown children can really make a living on the farm.

After having lunch in the field, Gu Qingqing was worried about Old Yang's class for the children in the afternoon, so she took a short rest before going back to the field.

After a while, I finally finished my work and went home.

Before reaching home, Gu Qingqing felt a heat in her lower body and something flowing out of her body.

She was wondering when she became so useless. So that's it.

However, before they got home, Geng Wen ran towards them in a hurry, "Aunt, Grandpa Yang asked me to tell you to go back quickly. There is a big carriage coming to your house."
