After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

Chapter 1: Traveling through time as a pregnant woman with a bad temper

It has been two days since she traveled through time, and Zhen Yue has been on the verge of exploding. She didn't expect the end of the world to be over, and thought that a beautiful life was about to begin. However, someone made a puddle of water on the ground, and when she went out, she accidentally fell and hit the back of her head, and she fell into a coma.

Then she found herself traveling to a dynasty that had never appeared in history, the Great Zhou Dynasty. And her body was the eldest daughter-in-law of Qiao Dashan's family in Danan Village, an extremely poor peasant woman, mean and arrogant, who had quarreled with countless peasant women, and was either quarreling or on the way to quarrel every day.

That's fine, but she's actually been pregnant for six months, and she, Zhen Yue, has never even held a boy's hand before, and now she's not only someone's wife, but she's also preparing to become a mother? !

What kind of hell is this? Zhen Yue looked at the dilapidated roof and felt a surge of anger in her heart, which she hadn't expressed for two days.

Outside the door, a little girl knocked cautiously: "Aunt, it's time to prepare lunch." Her name is Xiaohua, she is five years old, and is the child left behind by Qiao Yu, the aunt who married out of the Qiao family. In addition to Xiaohua, there is also a three-year-old Xiaocao, who is also Qiao Yu's daughter.

When Qiao Yu gave birth to her third child, she had a difficult labor and both she and the child died. The Zhao family, whom Qiao Yu married into, felt that it was bad luck and said that Qiao Yu had a bad stomach and that her three consecutive pregnancies were all daughters, with the third one dying. They also said that the first two daughters were nemesis who had killed their mother and sister. In the end, the Zhao family sent Qiao Yu's two daughters back to the Qiao family.

The Qiao family was not wealthy to begin with, and one more person meant one more mouth to feed. The original body had not agreed at first and said that she wanted to send her two nieces back to the Zhao family. She absolutely did not want to help others raise children. What kind of world was this now? Where would there be so much food?

But Grandma Qiao felt that if she sent them back, they might be tortured or even sold, so she cried and begged to stay. Qiao Dashan and the original owner's husband Qiao Da also couldn't bear it, so they finally agreed, but the original owner had something to say, and the two little girls were always driven to work at a young age, otherwise they would have no food to eat.

Zhen Yue held her belly, stood up and opened the door, looking at the little girl expressionlessly, "I know, wait a minute." The little girl shrank back when she saw her like this, thinking she was going to be scolded, but she didn't expect her aunt to say anything and just turned around and walked to the cabinet.

Zhen Yue walked to the cabinet at the side and took out the food for today. She used a bowl to scoop out two large bowls of brown rice and handed them to the little girl, "Go ahead."

The little girl was stunned when she saw the bowl of rice, "Aunt, is that too much?" It seemed that she only ate a small bowl of rice before.

Zhen Yue raised her eyebrows: "Stop talking nonsense, go cook!"

"Yes!" The little girl took the brown rice and quickly ran to the kitchen on the other side of the yard. There were two other little girls in the kitchen, one was Xiaocao, and the other was Qiao Xiaonian, the daughter of Qiao Er, the younger brother of her original husband.

The family where the original body lived was also a big family. There were currently ten people in the family. Grandpa Qiao Dashan and grandmother Qiao Chen had four children. Except for their daughter Qiao Yu who had passed away, Qiao Da was the original body's husband. Qiao Er was the second uncle. He married Qian Laidie, the daughter of the Qian family in the next village, and had a daughter, Qiao Xiaonian.

There is also a younger brother-in-law, Qiao San, who is unmarried, thirteen years old, studying in the village school and occasionally helping with farm work at home. Finally, there are Qiao Xiaohua and Qiao Xiaocao, who were left behind by Qiao Yu.

Qiao Xiaohua took the rice and went into the kitchen. Qiao Xiaocao and Qiao Xiaonian stood up immediately. "Sister." Qiao Xiaocao was not wearing pants, with bare legs. Her clothes were a little long, covering her buttocks to her knees. Her clothes were still her sister Xiaohua's. "I didn't hear my aunt's voice."

Qiao Xiaohua sniffed and said, "My aunt didn't scold me. Go outside and bring in the firewood. I'll cook."

"Okay." Qiao Xiaocao and Qiao Xiaonian ran out quickly.

The others were still working in the fields. As for Qiao Da, he had already been to the county town for half a month, helping people move goods with Qiao Song, the eldest son of the village chief. It seemed that he should be back soon.

Three little girls were watching the fire and cooking in the kitchen. Zhen Yue took out two eggs from the cupboard. Yes, in this family, she, the top class, was in charge of the food and drinks at home. Because the original owner was pregnant, she did the housework at home, and the others had to go to work.

The three children had to stay at home to help because they were too young. Zhen Yue did not think that they were too young to work. In her previous life, she knew she had to work to earn food when she was three years old. In the end times, a useless person could not survive.

Although it is not the end of the world now, but in this poor ancient times, people could not even get enough food to eat, which is not much different from the end of the world? The original owner did not have much information about this dynasty in his memories. He only knew that the world was not very good and some people sold their children.

After getting the eggs, Zhen Yue went to the kitchen, "Xiao Nian Xiao Cao, go to the field and pull two radishes, and bring back a handful of green vegetables."

"Yes, aunt."

The two tiny little girls ran out of the kitchen to the back of the house, pulled out two radishes, picked up a handful of vegetables, and then ran back happily.

Zhen Yue was sitting on the side. She had a big belly and her hands involuntarily supported her lower back. She directed with one hand, "Pour water into the basin and wash the radishes and vegetables."

Xiaohua, who was watching the fire over there, also went to help wash the vegetables, and checked on the fire from time to time, and was very busy.

Afterwards, Zhen Yue instructed them to take the pickles out of the jar on the side and wash them. After everything was ready, she sat in front of the chopping board and started cutting vegetables, while Xiaohua turned the fire to the cooking pot.

Cutting vegetables and cooking without any oil or water, but the food is fresh and tastes good.

Just as the food was ready, the people working in the fields returned home. Qian came to the kitchen first and said, "I'm starving."

Xiaonian immediately stepped forward and said, "Mom, it's time to eat."

Qian: "I understand. Go and call your father over."

"Yes."

After a while, Qiao Dashan, Qiao Chenshi, Qiao Er and Qiao San also came to the kitchen. When they saw the three dishes and one soup on the table, they were quite surprised. After all, there were only two dishes before.

Zhen Yue came over and sat down with a bowl of egg custard. This egg custard was hers, and she was the only one in the family who could eat it because she was pregnant. According to the original owner, she was pregnant with the only grandson of their Qiao family, and everyone was afraid that she would act up again, so no one had any objections.

Qian still had some complaints privately. When she was pregnant, she had nothing to eat, so why should Zhen have an egg every day? But she didn't dare to say it in front of the original owner, because she gave birth to a daughter, which was also a loss in her eyes, so she felt inferior to Zhen.

When Mrs. Qiao Chen was preparing to share the food with everyone, she was surprised to see some sticky porridge in the pot, "Mrs. Zhen, today's porridge..."

Qian came over and took a look, "Sister-in-law, why are you so generous today?" The porridge she made in the past was so thin that you could not even see a few grains of rice, and she even put some wild vegetables in it. Not only that, she also scolded everyone every day for being idlers and complaining about being tired after doing such a small amount of work.

Sometimes Qian really wanted to scold her for not feeling tired after doing farm work, but when she thought of Zhen Yue’s fighting ability, she didn’t dare to say anything in the end.

As for Mrs. Qiao Chen, she was also a bit soft-hearted. Except for matters concerning flowers and plants, she rarely went against the original owner's opinions.

Zhen Yue put down her chopsticks with a snap. "Eat it if you want! Why are you asking so many questions?"

Seeing her like this, everyone dared not say anything. Qiao Chen immediately distributed the food to everyone. First, Dashan, Qiao Er and Qiao San got the largest portions, followed by Qiao Chen herself, Zhen Yue, Qian, and finally the three children.

The whole family slurped the porridge, and everyone licked the bowl clean.

As for why no one dared to refute Zhen Yue, it was mainly because everyone in this family was honest, to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, they were soft-hearted and had no opinions of their own. All the family members were pretty much the same.

This may also be because the family is too poor, so they feel inferior inside, and when others get a little tough, they just let it go.

In the whole family, apart from her, there is only Qian who might be a little tougher, but the rest are all taciturn and unable to speak.

However, Qian was not as arrogant and domineering as her. Qian's family had several daughters but only one son. She was not favored, and now she gave birth to a daughter, so she felt short of breath and dared not say anything.

The original owner was different. She was the only daughter and four sons in her family. Of course, they were treated differently. However, the original owner's family was also poor. After all, the little boys had bankrupted their father. As for the four sons, two had already married, and the remaining two were still single.

Although the original owner was not very favored in her natal family, after all, in this society that values ​​men over women, she was also seen as a money-loser in the eyes of others, but she was much better than Qian.

The original owner was naturally the tallest among the short ones, and if she hadn't been tough, the family would probably have been taken over by others. Even the farmland was moved an inch away, and no one in the family dared to take it back forcefully. It was only the original owner who took a hoe and made a scene and finally got it back.

Including the original owner's husband, he was also one of those with a weak personality, but he had the advantage of being good-looking, otherwise the original owner would not have married into such a poor family.

And just because she got married, her mother was unhappy and was afraid that she would often go back to bring things back to subsidize her husband's family. Every time the original owner went back, she would be ridiculed. Even because her husband's family was poor, the original owner's eldest and second sisters-in-law didn't have a very good face to her. They were afraid that she would take things back.

Later, the original owner no longer liked going back to her parents' home.

But there comes a day when one gets tired of seeing faces. The poverty of this family seems to have no end. Since she got married, she has worked a lot, but she still eats wild vegetable porridge and wild vegetable gruel. Meat is only available during festivals and the New Year. On other days, there is no oil or water at all.

Logically, with so many people working, this family should not be so poor. The main reason is that now there are severe taxes and levies. A large part of the produce from the land must be handed over to the government, and the rest is for their own consumption. How can so many people eat enough?

Moreover, because my brother-in-law has to go to the village school, he has to pay a certain amount of food to the teacher every month, so there is even less left.

Fortunately, there are big mountains nearby, and sometimes they can go outside the mountains to find some wild vegetables, mushrooms and the like.

My younger brother-in-law will stop studying after finishing his studies this year. The main reason is that there are no people in the nearby villages who can take the imperial examination. The best chance for them is to be an accountant in the town because of their literacy. After my younger brother-in-law finishes his studies this year, he will go to the town to see if there is any job he can find.

But it was not that easy. They had no connections and no money to bribe others. Moreover, the village school in Danan Village only taught students to read a few words. The Qiao family was poor and they only had a few books left by their ancestors. The money to buy paper and pens was bought by saving money through frugality.

Usually, Qiao San just wrote on the ground. When the original owner married him, she was actually dissatisfied. She thought why did the family, which was so poor, have to support a scholar? But later, a person from the same village found a good job in the town because of literacy, so she didn't say anything later.
