Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

But she also regarded her family as too important, even more important than her children and husband. After discovering the Zhang family's rebellion, the mayor of Jeju Island directly beheaded all the members of the Zhang family in public according to the laws of the continent, without even waiting for orders from Nanjing. He was probably afraid of more trouble.

After his mother found out about this, and learned that the Zhang family didn't have a single child left, she began to curse the Zhou family crazily, saying that they were cold-blooded and heartless. She had helped the Zhou family to expand, but they still killed all her family members. She even said in front of him that she regretted giving birth to him and that she should have strangled him to death. She said almost everything that hurt her heart.

"Zhou Qingyun, how dare you come to see me? Have you forgotten how your maternal family died? Get out of here. I wish I had never given birth to a scoundrel like you. You actually wanted your maternal family to die. Why didn't you die with them? Why did I give birth to such a heartless dog like you? Die now, die quickly."

She even kept throwing things on the ground while talking. All kinds of porcelain tea cups were thrown on the ground and fell at his feet. She said the same thing every time they met. She didn't even care about anything else and just vented her anger, as if he and his father owed her something.

Even her younger sister who was sitting next to her was trembling with fear. The five-year-old girl did not have any of the liveliness that a child should have. Instead, she looked a bit lifeless. The child who should have been chubby and cute was now skin and bones, as if she had not been taken care of well at all.

Zhou Qingyun did not give any explanation and did not even look at his sister. After all, he was not around when the child was born and had no feelings for her at all, so he did not take care of her for all these years. King Rui wanted to use the child to ease his relationship with Zhang Qianqian, so he did not take the child away and kept him with Zhang Qianqian.

So he just stood in the hall, watching his mother throwing things crazily, without even a word of explanation or defense. This was the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No matter who made a mistake, they would be punished according to the law. You couldn't just let you go because your family was related to the royal family. What was the point of having the laws of the dynasty? It would be better to abolish them all.

When Zhang Qianqian finished her madness and stopped to sit on the bed, Zhou Qingyun knew that she was tired, and answered her question with his calm and hoarse voice with a little boyishness. Zhou Qingyun was reluctant to say more before. After all, he always remembered the warmth and kindness Zhang Qianqian gave him. However, the Zhou family was cold-blooded, and that warmth had been slowly worn away by Zhang Qianqian's long-term madness.

"Mother, I have said before that the Zhang family committed the great crime of treason. They gathered a group of refugees on Jeju Island and directly attacked Jeju Island, killing all the people there.

Then let me ask you, aren't the people of Jeju Island the people of my Dazhou? When he killed someone, you kept silent and directly acknowledged that he was not guilty of murder. You even excused him. After all, he was your family. When others killed him, you yelled at me. This really clearly distinguished the relatives. I have always remembered the time when you protected me when I was a child, so I have never said anything in these years. But you must remember that I am a member of the Zhou family. The blood in my bones is also the blood of the Zhou family. You should be clear about the human nature of the Zhou family. Don't wear away our feelings.

Mother, I suggest you think carefully about your future path. If you scream and shout like this again, I will just take your sister away. I think now that you have no shield, you won't scream and shout like this again.

After all, mother thinks that my father and I owe you something, but in fact, she is wrong. The royal family is ruthless, and as descendants of the royal family, we are even more ruthless. The reason why father has been able to tolerate you is because I have now shown my edge in the court, and he has to be nice to you.

He won't do anything to you as long as I'm here. If I make a mistake and take the wrong path, you should know what your life will be like in the future. Live a good life with your father while he still feels guilty about you. Otherwise, when this little bit of affection is completely worn away, even gods can't save you. You have no mother clan to rely on, and you can only rely on me, your son, and your husband."

The coldness in Zhou Qingyun's eyes froze Zhang Qianqian, who wanted to go crazy, but after he said this, she couldn't say a word. To be honest, she could make such a fuss only because she relied on the indulgence of Zhou Qingyun and King Rui, because she knew that her son would not care about her at all, and King Rui was more guilty, so she was fearless.

If it were someone else, she would definitely not dare to yell like that, or even beat, scold, or throw things without caring about the hierarchy. But she was so innocent. She was born in the Zhang family, so she was the daughter of Zhang. It was normal for her to want to gain some benefits for her family. After all, the Zhang family raised her. But what mistake did her family make to be accused of an inexplicable crime and sent to Qiong Island, where she had no way to explain herself.

Moreover, life over there was extremely difficult. Someone had given them the power to constantly embarrass the Zhang family and didn't want them to live well. What had they done wrong? If they hadn't rebelled, they probably wouldn't have survived. But in the year they were exiled, there were successive natural disasters and there wasn't enough food. They had no choice but to rebel in order to survive. She didn't think the Zhang family had done anything wrong.

She even thought that the Zhang family's rebellion was only because they could no longer make ends meet and wanted to seek a glimmer of hope for survival. She was grateful that the Zhang family had survived the famine, so she also agreed with the Zhang family's secret formation of a team and their desire to occupy the land and become the king.
