Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder
Chapter 139: The Nanny in Troubled Times 5
A good fish should not taste bad whether it is fried, stir-fried, grilled or boiled, but there was no oil or salt, and Zhang Wangshi did not allow anyone else to cook, so in the end the fish was cooked in a pot of vegetables.
The others thought it tasted good, but Ye Zhiqiu thought it was unpalatable. She took a bite and swallowed it reluctantly, and gave the rest to Zhang Da. She thought that a slap in the face should be rewarded with a sweet date. Facing the strange looks from others, she pretended to be humble and pointed at the steamed crab on the table: "I'll just eat this."
Others saw this, but they were too lazy to compete with her for the meatless crabs, which were covered in shells. Anyone who ate them would be a fool. No matter how bad fish meat tastes, it is still meat. If there is lard, it will taste better if it is fried and then cooked into soup.
Just thinking about the taste makes those who have eaten it greedy, and those who have not eaten it also think it is delicious just thinking about it in their minds. They just look forward to having a meal of it during the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Da didn't remember if he had ever eaten fish fried in lard, but he was very satisfied with the fish his wife gave him. Besides his father, he was the only one who had it. It turned out that his own wife was the best. She gave him all the delicious food. He was not like the second son's wife, who would still think about the food in her husband's bowl after she had finished her own meal. He would rather be single than have a wife who would compete with him for food.
Back in the house, Ye Zhiqiu seized the opportunity to brainwash Zhang Da: "I gave you all the fish soup, and there was meat in it. Is that good enough for you? You gave all the soup in your mother's bowl to your father. Think about it yourself, are I and the baby in your belly the most important people? When the other people in the branch family become relatives, you should be nice to your relatives instead of me?"
Although it is not good to sow discord between mother and son, it also depends on who the person is. Zhang Wangshi has often sowed discord between couples, and she just fights back.
Zhang Da nodded naively: "You are right, don't worry, I will treat you and my son well in the future." As for his daughter, he would not mention her. He could not afford to raise a daughter. He would raise a daughter after his son settled down. If his son gets married and does not have a dowry, he can use the money to exchange for a daughter.
Ye Zhiqiu had long guessed that Zhang Da was a selfish person. In his heart, no one was as important as himself, so he would only listen to good words that were beneficial to him.
Fortunately, she would leave the Zhang family after giving birth to the child. If she really had to live like this, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and hurt others at any moment. It would be best to break the third leg so that Zhang Da would never dare to have any bad thoughts again in his life.
"System, how many days will it take to give birth?" Ye Zhiqiu was very impatient after being kicked by the baby in her belly. She wanted to run away as soon as possible. The women in the village were all skinny, and the men were not much better. It was harder to get something to eat than to steal. Even if the door was closed, someone would come to her door following the smell. But she had already changed to steamed buns without meat, but what did they say? They said the steamed buns had the fragrance of flour and an indescribable sweetness.
She ate so many steamed buns, and it was the first time she heard someone say that steamed buns also had a fragrance. She didn't dare to eat steamed buns anymore. What should she do? She waited online for the system to come out and give her a solution.
The system said aggrievedly: "Host, this is not my fault. When people are hungry, they can better distinguish the aroma of food. So if you want to eat secretly in the future, wait until everyone is asleep in the middle of the night before eating."
"Haha, you talk as if there's no one here in the middle of the night. What if someone comes to my house again? Help me solve the problem." Ye Zhiqiu didn't dare to do it again. She didn't have the courage to treat everyone as fools.
The system searched for a long time before it took out a bigu pill from the cultivation world. "If you take this, you won't feel hungry even if you don't eat for a month. Do you want to buy it? You can pay in installments, with no interest."
Yes, of course, even if you don't eat it now, buying it may be useful someday. Ye Zhiqiu gave it a sanitary eye, saying that it didn't take out the good stuff earlier.
After getting the Bigu Pill and studying it for a while, Ye Zhiqiu still didn't dare to eat it. This wasn't a world of cultivation. She wasn't afraid of killing people, but she was worried about the side effects on her body. She should just bear with it. It would only take a few days. Maybe she could give birth tomorrow.
The next day, Ye Zhiqiu went out again under the pretext of looking for food, but in fact she went back to her parents' home. With the bag of brown sugar and broken rice from last time as a base, no one in her parents' home disliked her coming over, but forget about asking for food, as her own family didn't have enough to eat, and it was good for a married woman to have a sip of water to drink, unless she brought food with her.
There was no grain, but there were corn cobs that were neither too old nor too young. Nutrition was not an option under the current conditions, so I was happy if I wasn't hungry.
Ye Liu took one look at the corn cobs that were still tender enough to squeeze out juice, and asked in a low voice: "You silly girl, where did you steal it from? It would be a disaster if the landlord finds out. Don't steal again in the future." She was not only worried about her eldest daughter, but also worried about the consequences for her own family if she was caught.
It's hard to find marriages for the remaining children when there's a thief in the family. The neighbors will suspect that they stole a needle if they lose one. She's not old, but she's still treated as a thief by the neighbors.
Ye Zhiqiu prepared a lot of excuses, but none of them worked. Forget it, as long as I'm happy, I'll talk about it next time.
After eating the corn, it was Ye Xiaodi who took her home again. This time there were no eggs, but there were pigeon eggs and quail eggs in the space. She grabbed a handful and pretended that they were bird eggs for Ye Xiaodi to eat.
Her mother's family was poor, and little brother Ye was already fifteen years old but less than 1.6 meters tall. He was nothing compared to those junior high school students in modern society who were often 1.9 meters tall. She couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when she saw them, and wanted to give the child more food.
When Ye Xiaodi brought the bird eggs home, Ye Liushi scolded him again: "Next time, don't take your sister's things. Remember? If you can't remember, let the stick help you remember."
"Remember!" Little Brother Ye looked at the stick in his mother's hand and ran away quickly. He didn't want to be beaten, and he didn't want it, but every time the eldest sister forced him to have it, what could he do?
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know how many eggs almost got Ye Xiaodi beaten. She felt something was wrong while lying on the bed, touching her belly, and called the system: "System, am I going to give birth?"
The system took a quick look and said, "Yes, but don't worry, there is still time. You can eat something to maintain your strength while no one is around."
"Eat whatever you want. I won't eat anything. I'm going to eat meat and fish after I give birth. I'm saving my belly now." Although Ye Zhiqiu has been a mother in several worlds, she doesn't really know much about giving birth and thinks things are simple.
She disliked Zhang Wangshi for not knowing how to deliver a baby and not paying attention to hygiene, so she wanted to hire a midwife. Even if her skills were not as good as a doctor's, she should at least know some skills. However, she found out that the Zhang family couldn't even afford a midwife, so she had to rely on herself to give birth.
Disliked Zhang Wangshi's unhygienic nature, no one else came to help except her. Even Zhang Da stayed away from her because he disliked the dirty process of women giving birth.
It was just that Ye Zhiqiu called out a little late this time. If he had discovered that the baby was about to come out earlier, he would definitely send her to the woodshed to give birth. Even if it got dirty, it would not dirty the bed, as he still had to sleep at night.
Ye Zhiqiu was so angry that he cursed his mother. Zhang Wangshi was dissatisfied at the time of childbirth, but she dared not do anything at this critical moment. The daughter-in-law can be dealt with at any time, but the grandson can't wait. She still knows the importance of the matter.
