Transformed into a peasant girl, seduced men and raised children to bring prosperity to the whole fa

Lin Zheng hadn't seen Zhang Xuemei for many years. The little girl was very lovable when she was young.

So, she decided to go over and take a look.

The Zhang family burned the few charcoal they had, and for the sake of their daughter and grandson, they didn't use any firewood.

But the room was drafty and still cold.

Lin Zheng sat in their house for a while, and even though she was wearing warm clothes, she still felt cold all over.

Zhang Xuemei was picked up at night, but the moment she entered the house, Aunt Zhang and Niu Niu's expectant smiles froze instantly.

"Xuemei!"

"elder sister!"

Zhang Xuemei was holding a child in her arms. The child looked about one or two years old. His face was red from the cold and his hair was wet.

But none of this matters. What matters is that Zhang Xuemei still has a wound on her face.

Uncle Zhang followed behind her, his face looking frighteningly dark.

"Xuemei, why is there a wound on your face? Were you beaten over there?!" Aunt Zhang asked anxiously.

"mother……"

Zhang Xuemei walked over to her crying, "Mom... I'm finally back..."

"Wow..."

When the mother cries, the child cries too.

Lin Zheng frowned, "Xuemei, what happened? Were you bullied over there, so that's why you came back?"

Zhang Xuemei was shaking with tears, "Auntie... Mother..."

She cried for a long time before she started to talk about what happened over there.

It turned out that when the government officials came to the village years ago, their family did not have enough money to keep all their sons, so in the end one had to go, so they pushed her husband out.

Zhang Xuemei was heartbroken. Their son was only two years old. Wasn't her husband going to die?

And since he left, the weather has become colder and colder, and many people have frozen to death.

Zhang Xuemei was extremely worried and cried every day, and her son also cried every day.

The mother and son have no one to rely on, and anyone in that family can come and step on them.

Before coming here, she had a big fight with them and was beaten by the eldest wife's wife, and no one came to her aid.

She really couldn't stand staying in that family anymore. That family wanted to kill her entire family.

On weekdays, they were treated like animals and all the dirty and tiring work was done by them.

They were also the ones who needed people to perform corvée labor.

Zhang Xuemei didn't want to go back anymore, but she had nowhere to go so she had to go home.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang burst into tears with heartache. Niu Niu clenched his fists tightly, "Sister, don't go back! They are all bad people!"

"Niuniu..." Zhang Xuemei felt very upset.

"Sister may have to live at home for a long time in the future."

"Stay!! Stay here! I won't let you go back!"

"Cough cough cough-"

Suddenly, the child in Zhang Xuemei's arms started coughing violently, and she turned pale with fright.

It took them a whole day to get here, and they were on the oxcart in the wind. Although she tried her best to hold the child in her arms, the little one couldn't hold on and fell ill.

"Xiaobao, do you feel uncomfortable?"

She carefully touched his forehead and tested his body temperature, which was hot.

"I have a fever." Her eyelashes trembled, "Xiaobao..."

Xiaobao continued to cough a few more times before opening his eyes, "Mother... Xiaobao... It doesn't hurt... Don't cry..."

Lin Zheng's eyes were filled with tears. "Do you have any medicine for the cold at home?"

"No!" Aunt Zhang reacted and quickly asked Uncle Zhang to buy medicine.

But how can I buy medicine at this late hour?

Lin Zheng: "It's too windy here, and it's not warm enough. I have some medicine for colds. Xuemei can take Xiaobao to my house tonight. Come back when they feel better."

Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were so grateful that they didn’t know how to thank them.

The two of them and Niu Niu accompanied Zhang Xuemei back to the Chu family.

As soon as I entered the house, I felt a palpable warmth.

Hearing the door open, everyone looked towards the door.

Lin Zheng came in hurriedly, "Chu Xiao, quickly boil some hot water for everyone to drink. Also, don't we have medicine for treating colds at home? Hurry up and boil some medicine, Xuemei's little treasure has a fever!"

Shen Zhi quickly stood up, "Mom, I'll go make some medicine!"

She glanced at the child, whose face was terribly red, probably with a high fever.

She added spiritual spring water to boil the herbs and quickly fed them to the little guy.

This herb was extremely bitter, but the little kid drank it obediently without saying a word.

However, after taking a sip, her little face would wrinkle.

Niu Niu surrounded his nephew tightly and was almost crying when he saw what he was doing.

Chu Jinzhou and the other three also gathered around, all with frowns on their faces.

Chu Jinnian quietly squeezed his little brother's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaobao. You will be fine after you drink the medicine."

Mumu: "I have also drunk this medicine. Although it is bitter, it is very useful."

Xiaobao nodded obediently, "I...will drink it all..."

After finally feeding the medicine, Zhang Xuemei held the little one in her arms and sat by the kotatsu to warm herself by the fire.

Lin Zheng packed a hot water bottle and placed it on the bed in the small room.

"Once the bed is warm, let Xiaobao go to bed and have a good sleep. Maybe he will be better tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, aunt." Zhang Xuemei expressed her gratitude with red eyes.

Xiaobao drank the medicine and fell asleep quickly in such a warm room.

Chu Changfeng: "Where is the child's father? The snowstorm is so severe this year, why did you come back? The child is still so young."

Zhang Xuemei burst into tears instantly.

Aunt Zhang told them about this matter again, and after listening, no one said anything.

Zhang Xuemei’s husband went to the practice palace?

Then... can I come back?

Everyone felt heavy-hearted and extremely upset.

"It's not enough that I was beaten. I heard that many people in the training palace died. They will soon start recruiting people again. If there are no men, women will be taken away too. I...if I stay, they may push me out..."

Everyone gasped.

Aunt Zhang was so angry that she cursed, "You son of a bitch! My daughter got married and this is how you torture her!"

Uncle Zhang: "Xuemei, don't go back! Just stay at home. If they need more people, I'll go! Anyway, I'm strong and healthy! What's there to be afraid of?!"

"Dad! If the government really wants to arrest us, I will take Xiaobao and hide in the mountains."

"Nonsense!"

Chu Jinnian bit her lips and asked Shen Zhi quietly, "Mother, are those officials really going to arrest more people? Why are they arresting so many people? Will we be arrested too?"

Shen Zhi touched his head and said, "No, Dad and Mom will not leave you."

Chu Jinzhou pursed his lips, his eyelashes drooped, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After sitting for a while, the bed became warm, and Shen Zhi urged Zhang Xuemei to take Xiaobao to rest.

Aunt Zhang and her husband returned home, but Niu Niu stayed because he was worried about his sister and nephew.

Everyone went into the house, leaving only Chu Changfeng and Chu Xiao sitting in the main room, frowning and thinking.

"Dad, if it really doesn't work, we'll leave in the spring."

"Leave? Where to? We haven't reached that stage yet. Let's wait and see."
