Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

The system praised Ye Zhiqiu for her good luck. Other people often came to the lake to hang out, so it was quite good for her to have such a gain.

"Haha, is it my luck? It's obvious that everyone looks down on these things. Forget it, why am I telling you this, let's quickly check the space to see if there is anything that can be produced in the lake, take some out, and I'll take it back to my mother's home." Now that he was out, Ye Zhiqiu was ready to take the opportunity to return to his original mother's home to take a look. In this era, it was necessary to build a good relationship with his mother's family.

"You can give anything you want. Anyway, her family won't ask any questions or tell anyone, let alone suspect you." The system felt that Ye Zhiqiu was too cautious. It knew how cautious her original family was. They would only use the benefits secretly and would not tell anyone who asked.

"Okay, she doesn't understand the situation. It sounds like she is worry-free. I hope it will last forever." It's troublesome enough to have a terrible in-laws to deal with, but I don't want to have a troublesome mother-in-law's family to deal with as well.

Following the original owner's memory, she found Jinshui Village, where her mother's family lived. The village was similar in layout to her husband's family's village. Every household's house was shabby and old, and the villagers looked poor. Their clothes were covered with patches and their faces were pale. Many children had big heads and small bodies, and they looked more and more like radish heads.

Her mother's home was in the middle of the village. As soon as Ye Zhiqiu entered the village, someone ran to tell her mother the news. So before she even got home, she was greeted by her family. But instead of the welcome she thought she would get, she was scolded by her own mother.

"You silly girl, who told you to come back? Don't you look at the sky? The sun is about to set. You are pregnant and you run to your parents' home for no reason. Do you have a grudge against them?" When Ye Liushi heard the villagers say that her eldest daughter had returned to her parents' home, she was angry and anxious. She felt relieved only after she finished scolding her.

She had already calculated the date. The eldest daughter was going to give birth in a few days. She had to go back to her parents' home alone. What if she had a seizure on the way? She didn't want to live, but her parents' home had to live. If the Zhang family blamed her, she would have no daughter to compensate.

It's all her fault. She didn't teach the little girl well and didn't think about her parents' family at all.

Ye Zhiqiu was scolded for no apparent reason. His smile froze on his face, but he still tried to give the things in his hand away: "Mom, I'll give you something good."

When Ye Liushi heard that there was something good, she immediately looked around with a vigilant look. When she didn't find any suspicious people, she pulled Ye Zhiqiu to the yard and said, "What good things? You little girl, why are you still standing outside? Why don't you come home and tell me if there is something wrong?"

When the two of them walked into the house, Mrs. Ye locked the door before speaking: "Take out the things."

Ye Zhiqiu took out a bag of brown sugar and a bag of broken rice that she had prepared long ago from her bag. There were a lot of things in the space, but she didn't dare to give more. She had already lost a lot of brain cells when she thought of an excuse for this little bit of things, and any more would exceed her brain capacity.

When Ye Liushi opened the box, she found only sugar and broken rice. She did not ask where the things came from. The whole family just remembered her daughter's kindness. She raised several maids. She did not dare to say how good she was to them before they got married. At least when they got married, she did not choose her son-in-law for the sake of the bride price.

She had picked and chosen the sons-in-law of the girls. There were definitely some shortcomings, but this was the result of her repeated selection in the surrounding area. Even the best ones were too poor for them, so those with similar family conditions could only do so well. If they didn't work out, she could only blame her bad luck for not meeting a good man.

Ye Liushi sighed, locked the candy and rice in the cabinet, and took out a peace charm and handed it to Ye Zhiqiu, telling her to wear it when she gave birth. This was the peace charm she had bought from Guanyin Temple, to bless the dead girl to have a safe birth and give birth to a son.

The dead girl has been married for several years but has not given birth to a son. She has never let it go. Now that she has given birth to a son, she can also give an explanation to the Zhang family.

Ye Zhiqiu put the amulet away. It was her business whether to wear it or not, but she was still well-behaved and obedient in front of Ye Liushi. If she wanted to refute, it would not be about such a meaningless matter.

She touched her belly and decided to tell Mrs. Ye Liu that she would go to Haicheng after giving birth. If she really left one day, her parents would not have to rush to look for her. They could just pretend that they didn't know she was leaving.

Ye Liushi sighed in her heart, but she didn't say anything to stop her. Life in the countryside was getting harder and harder. Who wouldn't want to go to the city? She didn't dare to go, and she didn't have the money to go. If the eldest girl could really find a job in the city, it would be a good thing to help her parents.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't dare to make a guarantee, but when he looked at Ye Liushi's rough hands, withered hair, and slightly hunched back, and thought about the betrothal gifts given by the Zhang family when his original body got married, he nodded and agreed to help if he could in the future.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then Mrs. Ye Liu urged Ye Zhiqiu to leave quickly, as if she was late she would miss dinner at her in-laws' house, and she couldn't afford to suffer any loss as she was pregnant.

Before leaving, she stuffed two eggs into her hands and asked her younger brother to take her back to her husband's house. She didn't need eggs in her space, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to give them to her younger brother on the way and let him eat them.

Ye Xiaodi was also an honest child. Not only did he insist on watching Ye Zhiqiu enter her husband's house, he also refused to eat the two eggs and wanted to take them home to eat with his family.

After much persuasion, she finally convinced the honest child to agree to be sent to the entrance of her husband's village. It would be difficult to explain if she really sent him there, and she was worried that she would be scolded by her parents-in-law. So Ye Xiaodi agreed and stood at the entrance of the village and watched her walk a long way before turning back.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel fortunate that she didn't have too many things in her hands. The bag she carried her things in was just tied with a headscarf, which made it impossible to see what was inside. She could explain anything she took out.

Except for Zhang Wang who was cooking in the kitchen, no one else in her husband's family was at home and no one knew what they were busy with. The rice in the fields would not be harvested for a few days, so logically speaking, not all the family members should be working in the fields.

Although Ye Zhiqiu had never farmed, he knew that he had to save energy during the slack season so that he would have the strength to work during the busy season. If he really had to work as hard every day as he did during the busy season, even an old ox would be exhausted to death.

In fact, she was right, but the Zhang family was different from other families. Zhang Wangshi could not stand having idle people in the family, so even during the slack season when there was not much work to do in the fields, the family members would find reasons to go to the fields, as long as they were not idle at home.

Old man Zhang has been like this all his life, and the three Zhang brothers have learned it long ago. Even Yingzi figured out the rule within a few years of her marriage, so the original person was stupid and often scolded.

While no one was at home, she carried a dead fish into the kitchen.

"Where did it come from?" Zhang Wang took a look and didn't even bother to move her eyelids. Fish is good, but unfortunately there is no oil at home, so the taste after cooking is barely edible, not much better than vegetables.

"I picked it up by the lake and no one in the village saw it." Although the lake is a wild lake, if someone really picks up something good, they are bound to be envied, so it is better to be careful.

Ye Zhiqiu understood this principle.
