My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

The cloth shoes on their feet were passed down one by one.

Gu Lili’s clothes were too small, so Gu Erniu wore them. Gu Erniu’s clothes were too small, so Gu Huanhuan wore them. Then it was Gu Sigou’s turn.

If it's broken, just patch it up with cloth and continue wearing it.

"Sister, are you making new shoes? Or forget it, let's just mend them and continue wearing them." Gu Huanhuan had originally wanted to use the remaining cloth to mend the uppers of the four people's shoes.

Gu Lili looked at the shoes on Gu Huanhuan's feet, then looked at her own shoes, both of which were in tatters.

The most important thing is that the soles of my shoes are worn out, and I guess the soles of my three siblings aren’t much better.

"Let's get a new pair to wear. Ours are so torn that they are in disrepair." Gu Lili said with a smile.

Huanhuan nodded, then took out the cloth and prepared to cut it.

Gu Lili taught her first, then helped her draw the pattern, and then let her do it by herself.

Gu Huanhuan made this first pair herself.

It’s not that she is selfish. She thought that she herself doesn’t know how to make it, and what if the result is not good-looking and it won’t be good for her older sisters and brothers to wear. She might as well try it on herself first.

Gu Lili uncovered the straw and saw that many wheat sprouts had already sprouted. She should be able to make malt sugar tomorrow.

After covering the wheat, Gu Lili continued to help Gu Huanhuan cut the soles of shoes.

The soles of these shoes are made of cloth, which needs to be cut layer by layer, then glued together with rice paste, and finally fixed with needle and thread. In this way, a sole is made.

The two sisters, one drawing with charcoal and the other cutting, cooperated with each other and soon cut out a lot of things.

As it was getting dark, Gu Lili asked Gu Huanhuan to pack up, boil water, wash up and go to bed.

Looking at the small basin in front of her, Gu Lili added one more item to her shopping list, that is, a bathtub.

How nice it would be if you could take a comfortable hot bath after a tiring day!

After washing up, the siblings lay on the bed and learned multiplication formulas with Gu Lili. After studying for a while, they all slowly fell asleep.

When Gu Jingsheng's family was still on their way home, the villagers who went to the market today spread the scandal of Gu Jingsheng's family throughout Gu Village.

Many of the people in Gu Village who used to go to bed early were still lying in bed, chatting and listening to the noise outside.

In the quiet of night, footsteps will seem particularly loud.

As proud as Gu Jingsheng's family was when they took the carriage to Donghai Town today, they looked so embarrassed when they came back.

As soon as Aunt Zhang heard footsteps outside, she immediately pushed Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang quickly got up and ran to the gate of their yard.

"Oh, Uncle Gu, Gu Chuan, you're back!" Aunt Zhang said sarcastically.

Along the way, Gu Jingsheng and the other three were exhausted and no longer had the energy to argue with anyone.

Niu Cuihua was beaten the worst. She was fat, and several people had already been beaten with a stick, and they still had to support her.

At this moment, everyone just wanted to go back quickly, lie on the bed, apply some medicine, and have a good sleep.

Aunt Zhang has a very loud voice, and the neighbors around heard the noise and came out to greet the family of three.

Gu Jingsheng felt that this was the longest road he had ever walked in his life.

The short road of a few hundred meters felt longer than my life.

At this moment, Gu Chuan was very angry about the villagers' sarcasm and pushed Niu Cuihua aside.

He limped back home quickly.

Niu Cuihua suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground in an instant.

My already burning butt was now even more burned.

In an instant, screams rang out above the relatively quiet Gu Village, comparable to the scene of pig slaughtering.

"Ouch. Gu Chuan, you bastard, why did you let go without saying a word!" Niu Cuihua howled.

The neighbors who were watching the fun couldn't help laughing when they saw Niu Cuihua's funny appearance in the moonlight.

Gu Jingsheng and Old Lady Gu also felt that they couldn't afford to lose face in front of this person, so they quickened their pace and headed home.

Seeing that no one cared about her, Niu Cuihua limped home, enduring the pain.

Unexpectedly, I just got home and before I could even drink a sip of water, I was slapped to the ground by Gu Chuan again.

"It's all your fault, you damn woman. You've been causing trouble all day long and making our whole family suffer and lose face. Tomorrow you'll have to pack up your things and get out. I'm going to divorce you!" Gu Chuan cursed hysterically.

Before Niu Cuihua had time to howl, she heard Gu Chuan say he wanted to divorce her, and she jumped up instantly.

"Why do you want to divorce me? I gave birth to a son for you who will become a high-ranking official in the future. Why do you want to divorce me?" Niu Cuihua cried and bumped into Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan was knocked off balance and instantly became angrier, and the two of them started to fight.

Gu Jingsheng's house was instantly in chaos. There was no light in the house and it was pitch dark.

Gu Jingsheng and Old Lady Gu were so anxious that they were jumping up and down, fearing that the two would get into a fight.

But I wanted to stop the fight, but I couldn't see who was who, so I could only stand by and worry.

It was unknown how long the two men had been fighting, but they probably stopped because they were tired.

At this time, Gu Jingsheng remembered to light a torch and take a look.

The light of the torch scared the old couple. Gu Chuan's face was scratched by Niu Cuihua and was covered in blood. It was a shocking sight.

In fact, Niu Cuihua was not much better off, as she was kicked several times by Gu Chuan.

When Mrs. Gu saw her son being beaten like this by her daughter-in-law, she instantly went crazy.

He didn't care about the pain on his butt and beat Niu Cuihua violently again.

How could Niu Cuihua let herself suffer a loss, so she immediately grabbed Mrs. Gu's hair and started fighting with her.

With the illumination of the torch, Gu Chuan and Gu Jingsheng could see the fight between the two men clearly.

How could the two men bear to see their wife and mother being beaten?

They all joined the battle, and in an instant, the only sounds in the room were Niu Cuihua's screams.

The neighbors all got goosebumps after hearing this, but no one was willing to try to stop the fight.

After fighting for a while, Niu Cuihua's screams gradually subsided, and Gu Jingsheng regained a lot of his sanity.

"Old woman, Gu Chuan, please stop hitting me. If you kill me, who will do the housework?" Gu Jingsheng said in a deep voice.

Only then did Gu Chuan and Old Lady Gu stop.

At this time, Niu Cuihua stared blankly at the roof, not even moving, and it seemed as if she had no breath.

Gu Chuan was shocked and thought someone had died, so he quickly reached out to check Niu Cuihua's breath.

Who would have thought that when Niu Cuihua saw Gu Chuan's hand reaching out, she suddenly bit Gu Chuan's index finger hard.

Gu Chuan screamed in pain instantly, but Niu Cuihua's mouth became even stronger.

Niu Cuihua never expected that her in-laws, whom she regarded as family, would beat her so cruelly.
