Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

The Su family's kitchen was built separately next to the upper house. It was a farmhouse, so there was no such thing as a first or second entrance.

That is, it was surrounded by three upper rooms and two east and west side rooms. The kitchen was next to the west side room, and the firewood shed where Su Qiuyi had just slept was next to the kitchen, so the two of them entered the kitchen in just a few steps.

Su Qiuyi stared at the empty kitchen in front of him with wide eyes.

The stove was empty, with only a large iron pot on it and a wooden lid standing next to it.

There was a lot of firewood next to the stove, but in the bowl rack, there was only a few empty wooden basins and a pile of empty coarse porcelain bowls and plates. Not to mention the various cooking seasonings, there was not even a bit of pickled vegetable sauce.

The place was clean, but there was no rice, vegetables or meat. How were they supposed to cook?

Before Su Qiuyi could finish being shocked, a voice was heard outside the kitchen.

"Third sister-in-law, this is the rice and noodles cooked tonight! Come out and get them quickly, I won't go into the kitchen!"

Su Qiuyi turned around when she heard the voice and saw a girl with pigtails, almond-shaped eyes and a flat nose standing at the kitchen door, holding two small cloth bags and frowning impatiently.

Looking at her clothes, although they were not silk or satin, they were made of floral cotton, clean and tidy, completely different from her patched clothes. They didn't look like a family at all.

But Su Qiuyi knew that this should be the original owner's aunt, calling her mother Third Sister-in-law...

"Hey! Here it comes."

Almost as soon as the voice fell, the woman who was about to light the fire in the kitchen hurried out and took the food from the girl outside.

"Mom said that we should just cut two plates of pickles in the evening, and there's no need to cook! There are so many people at home who waste food, and you guys have wasted all the oil, really..."

Su Xiaofei glared with her almond-shaped eyes and heavily placed the bag of grain into the hands of Xu Hui, the fourth and third daughter-in-law of the Su family. She muttered something about wasting money and food, and went upstairs.

Looking at the face that was 70% similar to that of the old woman, and 99% the same cunning and domineering look, Su Qiuyi curled her lips and glared at her.

"Yiyi, mother will cook porridge and steamed buns, you just need to help her light the fire."

Xu Hui carried a small bag of coarse rice and a little more coarse noodles into the kitchen, and immediately began to wash the rice and put it into the pot.

Su Qiuyi frowned as she looked at the tiny bit of rice she put into the pot.

There must have been a lot of people in ancient times, but there was only a little rice in the pot. Who would eat it?

Just as he was squatting in front of the cigarette platform in confusion, Xu Hui brought a wooden bucket of water and poured it into the pot.

"What... Mom, you poured so much water into such a small amount of rice. Are you cooking porridge or rice soup? How many grains of rice can one person get?"

Su Qiuyi couldn't help but ask.

Although she was not liked by her parents, she had never been hungry since she was born in modern times, so she didn't understand why a small bowl of rice needed a large bucket of water to cook porridge.

"Yiyi, seeing the drought this year, the crops are almost gone. We're just having some watery food tonight. Our family is already doing well. Your grandmother's family is out of food..."

Su Qiuyi was shocked again. Drought? What kind of Shura field had she been reborn into?

Looking at the walls and houses of this family, one can tell that their living conditions are already difficult enough, and now there is a drought...

She pouted, watching her cheap mother cook half a pot of rice soup and then start to mix dough to steam black brown rice steamed bread, and she dared not say a word.

After cooking the meal, she also learned a lot of information from this cheap mother.

The original body's grandfather had five children, and her father was the fourth child. He had two uncles, one aunt and another aunt below him, who was the one with the almond-shaped eyes and flat nose who looked at people through her nostrils.

In ancient times, five children were not considered a large number, but these five children were not born from the same mother.

Old man Su married two wives, regardless of age.

Because her original grandmother had not given birth to a child for three years after getting married, her mother-in-law married another wife for her husband.

That is the current old lady of the Su family, that old and mean woman.

The old woman gave birth to the eldest son of the Su family in the second year after she got married, and then gave birth to the second son of the Su family two years later.

After giving birth to two sons in succession, she became the treasure of the old lady of the Su family. She beat and scolded her original grandmother, bullying her so much that she could not even raise her head.

After much difficulty, the original grandmother became pregnant when the second son of the Su family was five years old. Life became a little better, but the baby was born to be a girl, and her nightmare began again.

Until she gave birth to the original body's biological father, she died of dystocia during childbirth.

Su Qiuyi calmly followed Xu Hui's questions and figured out some things by guessing.

"Alas... We are the same. It's better for us to separate and move out than to stay in this house and be bullied." She tried to speak.

"Keep your voice down! Don't let your grandma hear you!" Xu Hui was so scared that she looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was around. "What's wrong with you today? I know your grandpa's temper. It's a rule passed down from our ancestors that the family should not be divided while the parents are still together. Don't talk nonsense outside in the future!"

I was afraid that my sister-in-law would hear it, and if it got to my mother-in-law’s ears, she would be scolded again.

She was really afraid of that mother-in-law because it hurt so much when she pinched people.

Xu Hui's words left Su Qiuyi speechless and looking up at the sky. She did not agree with this concept. Bullshit filial piety, bullshit rules. Only when the father is kind can the son be filial. Obviously, foolish filial piety is unacceptable.

From what I see now, this stepmother is just a foolishly filial child. That old bitch is not her real mother-in-law at all. She is so scared... I wonder what the stepfather whom she has never met is like.

"Ah... my head hurts so much..." She didn't want to argue with this foolishly filial man. She just touched the back of her head and felt a big bump the size of an egg. She couldn't help but wail.

"Mother is not scolding you, you are the same, why are you arguing with your aunt? Your father is not at home, and you know that mother can't protect you, but you are not smart! How is your injury? Mother can take a look..."

Hearing her daughter crying out in pain, Xu Hui didn't care that her hands were still wet. She wiped them on her body and came over to check Su Qiuyi's head.

When I touched the big bump on her head, I couldn't help but wipe away my tears again...

"Your aunt's men are really ruthless... Such a big bag..." She covered her mouth and sobbed, "What should I do? Your father is not at home, what should I do..."

Su Qiuyi could see that this stepmother had no other ability except crying, but it was better this way, as it would be easier to control her. She had no opinion and was timid and fearful of things, but judging from her performance, she still cared a lot about the original owner's daughter.

"Mom... I feel a little dizzy..." She tried to speak softly, "Sometimes my eyes go dark, my mind gets confused and I can't remember who I am, but sometimes I feel better..."

She whispered in the crying woman's ear, trying her best to explain to her in terms that she could accept the things about herself that she had not received the original owner's memories.

When Xu Hui heard this, she was so frightened that she even forgot to cry. She looked at her daughter in horror, her lips trembling and her face looking pitifully pale.

"Yiyi... could it be that her soul has left her body?"
