I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

【Ding】

[One pound of wild soft-shelled turtle is worth one hundred coins. Do you want to sell it? ]

of course!

Nonsense, she has no materials now, so it would be better for her to use the money to exchange for food to fill her stomach.

This turtle is so expensive.

The turtle disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a hundred coins in his hand.

Still has some weight.

She quickly put the money in the basket and looked around to see if anyone saw it.

It's not that she was worried that someone would suspect the extra money she had out of thin air, but this money was too much for the farmers in the village, and if it was seen by someone with ulterior motives, it would definitely be targeted.

As soon as I got outside the yard, I heard a few boys chattering.

"I'm so hungry. What should I do? I haven't found anything. I'm starving to death."

"I'm not afraid of starving to death, I'm just afraid of being beaten to death by my mother."

"I don't know what to do, and we don't have money to hire a doctor."

"I think he's obviously hungry. It's all our fault that we can't even find food."

In fact, it’s not their fault. Every year, the original body would give most of the food to Old Madam Gu, and he himself ate the most, so at this time of year, they had little food left.

If the drought continues and there is no harvest this year, they might all starve to death.

"Why are you all gathered in there? Are you going to suffocate her to death instead of waiting for her to starve to death?"

The small room, without windows, was indeed stuffy.

When they heard what Zhao Qiqi said, they were so scared that they came out immediately.

"Mom, it's all my fault. As the eldest brother, I can't borrow any food."

"No, it's my fault. I failed to help my brothers dig wild vegetables."

"not me…"

Zhao Qiqi didn't wait for them to finish speaking, he glared at them and they immediately fell silent.

"Don't argue, it's useless."

The boys were speechless, truly hurt by such words.

As expected of a mother, she speaks very directly.

"Give it to Dashuan's wife. She should chop wood when she needs to, and fetch water when she needs to. Don't sit there doing nothing." She's idle.

They took a bag of food, and before they could say anything, Zhao Qiqi entered the room where the fifth daughter was, and left a message: "Don't come in."

Not to mention that she had given the order, even if she didn't say it, no one would dare to go in.

Dashuan was the eldest brother. He opened the bag of grain and the basket and found two kilograms of rice and a... small crab.

"Isn't this a crab? Why did mom pick it up?"

Dashuan knocked on Ersha's head and said, "You idiot! Why did you bring your mother back? Look at this bag of rice!"

Their eyes lit up.

"Hehe, where did mom get this?" Sipang laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.

"This must have been something my mother got from my grandmother."

Others also agreed that it was the mother who had the ability to get food from grandma.

It seems that grandma's is still a little inferior to mom's.

"Lanlan, steam this quickly."

Hu Lan asked hesitantly, "How much do you want to make?"

She was unsure of the amount and was afraid that she had not understood her mother-in-law's intentions.

"Half... No, how about one third?" Dashuan was afraid that they would finish eating so quickly and then run out of food.

Hu Lan looked at her mother-in-law cautiously, and was frightened by Zhao Qiqi's angry shout.

"It's all done, why are you dawdling?"

Several people stopped what they were doing and looked at each other. All of them? Didn't Mom plan to live with her in the future?

But no one dared to refute, so Hu Lan made up her mind and poured out all the rice in the bag.

Zhao Qiqi spent ten cents to buy the two kilograms of rice. She originally wanted to buy more, but was worried that they would be suspicious. Besides, she had no other income at the moment, so she had to spend frugally.

What's more, people who don't have enough food all year round will easily get bloating if they eat too much refined grains like white rice all at once.

Now I spent another twenty cents to buy a box of *** Cold Relief Granules. It’s so expensive!

He tore open a packet and poured it into a cup of water, then Zhao Qiqi held his fifth daughter Yunyun in his arms and handed her the medicine to drink.

Some of it leaked out, but I drank most of it.

Zhao Qiqi put her back on the bed. It was called a bed, but it was just straw on the floor.

The younger daughter also looks dark and dry.

She hid the medicine and went out to see how they were doing.

"The rice was what I was planning to give to you guys, but now I'm taking it back."

It was indeed so. They thought to themselves, mom is still very powerful.

Hu Lan put all the rice in to steam, while Sipang worked hard to make the fire and fanned the pot.

"Leave some rice."

Hu Lan was shocked by what she said. Could it be that she was going to be blamed? It was her mother who said it herself, so she just put it aside and did it.

Hu Lan looked back at her timidly.

"Leave some to cook into porridge for Xiaowu to drink."

So that's how it is, she hurriedly responded, "So that's how it is," she felt relieved. She scooped up some rice and cooked it into porridge later.

Si Pang was fanning himself very hard with the broken cattail leaf fan that Zhao Qiqi had brought back.

smell good!

Si Pang was inhaling the aroma of rice so hard that his face was almost touching the stove.

The aroma of rice spread out immediately, and a few people smelled it silently and felt less hungry.

His eyes kept glancing into the pot.

So greedy...

"Si Pang, fan faster." Er Sha quietly approached Si Pang and said.

After the pot had been bubbling for a while, Hu Lan lifted the wooden lid. The fragrant aroma immediately hit her face, and the hot smell made her happy.

"Why don't you put the dishes on the table? What are you standing there for?"

A few people agreed stupidly, and could hardly take their eyes off the white rice.

Dashuan stuffed a bowl into her hand, and Zhao Qiqi was also stunned.

The others thought that Mother was angry because Dashuan had not yet handed the chopsticks to her, so they quickly handed her the chopsticks.

Just now I remembered that there weren't even any extra bowls in this house...Everyone had to squat on the ground holding a bowl to eat.

It’s not so bad now, but if another bowl breaks, someone will be left without a bowl to eat.

"Mom, let me make you some food."

Zhao Qiqi looked at Hu Lan, who filled her bowl high.

Hu Lan felt uncomfortable all over seeing her staring at her like that, and asked weakly, "Mom, is it not enough? Leave some in the pot for me."

Zhao Qiqi shook his head, snatched the spoon from her hand, and put more than half of the rice in his bowl back into the pot.

"queue."

Several people lined up obediently, holding their bowls and waiting.

Zhao Qiqi put half a bowl into each person's bowl, not much.

But for those who haven't eaten for so long, it's already a lot.

"After eating, go to work."

Ersha was the first to eat: "This is white rice, it's so delicious."

"Yes, yes, this tastes much better than rye." Fatty was about to cry while eating.

Dashuan and Santu didn't say anything. They just kept stuffing food into their mouths because they were so hungry.

Only Hu Lan did not move.
