Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

After all, she wanted to live. Even if it was treason, she just wanted to live. It was this era that was wrong, and it was the man in the Golden Palace that was wrong. He forced all this, and she had never had a good life since she got married.

What's wrong with her venting? Even now, she still doesn't think she did anything wrong, but she should really think about herself. She glanced at her daughter who was huddled on the edge of the bed. To be honest, she felt quite sorry for her daughter.

"Zhou Qingyun, when you said I was making trouble, did you ever think about your grandparents? They suffered a lot on Zhou Island and didn't have enough food. If they didn't rebel, how could they survive?

You always resent your maternal ancestors. They rebelled and made you bear some bad reputation, but they had no way to stop them. How can you say this about your maternal ancestors?

Your grandparents loved you so much in the past, how can you say this about them, don’t you remember at all how much they loved you?"

Seeing the disbelief in his mother's eyes, Zhou Qingyun just wanted to laugh. It was not like he had not been to Zhou Island when he was in Jizhou City. He knew the situation on Zhou Island better than his mother. In fact, the Zhang family's life on Zhou Island was better than their life on Qiong Island. After all, with the help of the Wang family, the Zhang family had no worries about food and drink there. If they had not raised more people and the food supply was insufficient, they would probably still be staying on Zhou Island and continue to stockpile troops. However, they might not be used to that kind of life. After all, the Zhang family was used to a comfortable life, and that kind of life might have been a hard life for them.

"Just based on these few words, have you concluded that the Zhang family is living a hard life on Qiong Island? Then I will tell you the truth, my mother.

I know the situation on Zhou Island better than you do. I have even been there more than once. The life they live is better than that of ordinary people. After all, they can afford to eat fine grains. How can ordinary families afford to eat such fine grains?

There was even a fool who selflessly helped the Zhang family, wanting them to stand up quickly. But my great-grandfather cheated them, took all their money, and kicked them out. When they wanted to have a good life, he threw them down.

You always say that my grandparents had a hard life on Zhou Island. You should know that when I first arrived on Zhou Island, my life was much harder than theirs. At that time, I had to depend on the people around me to eat because I had no food. I had to calculate how much I could eat when I bought food. Why didn't you pity me?"

After they arrived in Jizhou City, Wang Shiyu helped Zhou Qingyun secretly go to Jizhou Island twice, wanting to see what kind of life the Zhang family led. Later, he found out that they only ate steamed corn bread and coarse grains when he was around, and ate rice and steamed buns when he was not around. They lived a much better life than him. It was their deception that made Zhou Qingyun grow faster.

Even now, Zhou Qingyun can still remember the scene at that time. All the people in the Zhang family sat in the yard, eating a bowl of rice each. Even the white rice was obviously high-quality fine grain that could not be bought without money. At the beginning, Wang Shiyu did not have much money, so they ate ordinary rice. It was not until Wang Shiyu's embroidery paintings were sold that their lives got better day by day.

He remembered that there were at least three plates on the Zhang family's table, and they could even afford braised pork and roast chicken. He thought they were living a good life, much better than when he first started.

At that time, the whole city was short of food. Even when Moruru and the others cooked, they mixed some brown rice into the rice. That time was indeed very difficult, but people could still afford refined rice and meat. What else did his mother want?

What the Zhang family ate was all white rice. Since then, Zhou Qingyun never felt sorry for his grandfather again, because they lived better than himself, so why should he feel sorry for them? He should just feel sorry for himself. When he returned home and saw the rice on the table, he felt very pitiful.

"Don't talk nonsense. Even if the Zhang family arrived at Zhou Island, they could not get any good food with help. The price of food at that time was so high. Who could keep supplying rice to your grandparents? Even if you want to deceive me as a mother, you should find a better excuse and reason instead of making up these useless words here, because I don't believe it at all.

And your sister has always been by my side. I can't let you take her away, and your father can't let you take her away either. After all, this child can only follow me, and I won't let her become an ungrateful person like you, betraying her own grandparents to death."

Zhang Qianqian felt like she was about to explode. She had sent people to Zhou Island, and she was very clear about the life that the Zhang family lived. When she went there before, the Zhang family had steamed corn bread with boiled water, or black corn bread with someone unknown mixed in it, which was impossible to bite. So she felt that her son actually said such things about his family for others, which made her feel very sad and upset. Her family was all gone, and now she couldn't even vent her anger. Why?

Looking at Zhang Qianqian's face full of disbelief, Zhou Qingyun knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he didn't plan to say any useless nonsense to her. After all, his maternal grandparents were really good at face-saving. If he hadn't gone to Zhou Island privately, he would never believe that his maternal grandparents lived so well. So Zhou Qingyun, who was cheated every time he went there, didn't trust the Zhang family at all. His mother was also a member of the Zhang family, so it was better to just threaten them directly.

"It's up to you. Think whatever you want. I lived in Jizhou City for more than a year. Naturally, I went to Jizhou Island more often than the people you sent there. So I know better than you what they eat on a daily basis. You don't have to yell at me about these useless things. If I find out that you bully my sister again, I will take the child to Concubine Song and let her raise him together. Anyway, that woman dare not treat my sister harshly, because I can directly control the life and death of her son. It's easy for me to kill her child. His father's military power has been diluted by me bit by bit, and he has no backing at all.

After all, my mother is now focusing all her attention on her family, which is no longer in existence. She should not harm our Zhou family. My father has many sons born one after another, and I am not the only child in the palace. You should think about your future. The older those children are, the more unstable your position will be. So the decision of what kind of life you want to live in the future is up to you. You can decide for yourself. From today on, if you mention the Zhang family to me again, I will throw their bodies into the mass grave and let them die without a burial place."

After he said these words, Zhou Qingyun left immediately without paying any attention to Zhang Qianqian's heart-wrenching cries behind him. Especially when Zhang Qianqian heard that her son was so cruel that he wanted to kill her family members without a burial place, how could she agree to it?

But because she had been crazy for too long, the people in the yard had no patience with her. Especially when the servants outside heard Zhou Qingyun's words, they didn't care about this concubine who had been crazy for a long time, but they would not deduct anything from her, after all, she had given birth to a good son.

When the girl heard that she was going to be taken away, her eyes lit up for a moment, but then she lowered her head again. Living under someone else's roof was no different from following a crazy mother, so at this time, she looked at her elder brother's back with envy. This elder brother was already an adult, so he could enter and leave the Prince Rui's Palace freely, and even had made a name for himself in the court. But because she was young, she had to be kept in her mother's yard. Her mother would not let her go out at all, and directly locked her in the room. If she went to the yard to bask in the sun, she would be beaten by Zhang Qianqian.
