After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy

With the stored cassava vermicelli, everyone felt more confident.

It seems that even this cold weather is no longer so unbearable.

However, people still froze to death in Sujia Village.

Not many people died, only five in total, and they were all elderly and in poor health.

The freezing rain never stopped, but it was not as heavy as before.

The north wind blows for a while and then stops for a while.

In short, the temperature has not risen, but has become lower and lower.

The lives of the villagers in Sujia Village have not been affected by this. Instead, they are getting better and better.

People who originally had little food could get by for a while longer with cassava.

Those who don't have much firewood at home will go up the mountain to dig cassava and bring some firewood back with them.

It doesn't matter if the firewood is wet, since it won't be burned right away.

Just spread them out and wait for a month or so, even if you can't get everything done, you'll be fine.

In addition, every household has a kang.

It can be said that life is much better now than when the freezing rain first started!

In contrast to them are the villages outside.

People who come from well-off families are fine; they have no shortage of warm clothes, and they can also eat some good food from time to time.

So they can endure hunger and are not afraid of cold.

It will be a tough time for those families who are already poor.

When it's cold, the body consumes calories quickly, making it easy to get hungry.

Even if those people eat frugally, gradually the food reserves at home will become less and less. Wouldn't they be worried?

No one knows how long this situation will last.

So in order to survive, petty thefts became more common.

Every morning, there are people who stand at their doorsteps and curse loudly despite the cold weather.

No matter how much you curse, you can't do anything if you can't find the thief.

By the 20th of the winter month, the situation outside had become increasingly severe.

If someone is poor, he will go to his rich relatives to borrow food.

At this time, who would be willing to lend food to others?

So those who cannot borrow money either just stay at their relatives' homes or feel resentful.

I feel that my own family is having a hard time, and the other party's family is well-off and has food, so how could they be so cruel and just watch them die?

Once people are filled with hatred, they do things that are incomprehensible and unimaginable to ordinary people.

Some steal directly, some bring others to rob, and some simply instigate others to rob, and then tell others that they only want a certain amount of things.

Because of these things, the government office, which should have been idle, became very busy.

Those who go to court should go to court, and those who go to catch thieves should kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

All of this had nothing to do with the people of Sujia Village, but the villagers had daughters who were married off and daughters-in-law who were married in from outside.

Just look, on the twenty-second day of the winter month, around noon, crying sounds were heard at the entrance of the village.

Some people were curious and stretched their heads to look. From afar, they saw a person in tattered clothes, without even a hat, coming in the rain with his family.

When I looked carefully, I saw that the person walking in front, crying the most miserably, and shivering with cold all over was none other than the married daughter of Su Maolin from the Su family.

As the daughter of the patriarch of the Su family, when she got married, her dowry was one of the best among her peers, and even her husband's family was very wealthy.

Why are you so miserable today?

Out of curiosity and the friendship of growing up together in the same village, the villagers naturally asked what was going on.

Wouldn't she be shocked to learn that her house had been robbed and now had no food, no firewood, and no warm clothes?

But all this has nothing to do with Su Rongrong.

She was at home, busy watering the small green vegetables planted on the kang.

Yes, her vegetables have been planted.

After Liu Miao and Tao Ya returned home, she discussed the matter with Qiao Qiao and Man Man.

It was finally decided that the three sisters would sleep at the end of the kang, leaving about one meter of space on which to place a wooden barrel.

Then put soil in the wooden barrel and plant the vegetables in it like potted plants.

Of course, in order to keep the temperature higher, the straw mat had to be removed.

Anyway, they finally grew the vegetables, even if they didn't grow very well.

The three sisters not only did this in their own room, but also in Su Jinhong's kang room.

Finally, in order to order more dishes, I asked Chen Jingzhe and Liu Songmu to help and prepared one in the spare room.

But this kang is different from the one they sleep on.

Instead, it was made directly of adobe, and was wide and large, occupying more than half of the room.

When the villagers found out that her family had built a kang again, they couldn't help but grumble.

Fortunately, Liu Songmu was smart and told the villagers without her having to say anything that the kang in her house was not for her own use.

Rather, the county magistrate’s son was studying in the county school and wanted to eat some fresh dishes.

But where can you get fresh vegetables on this day? In the end, you have to spend money to build a kang and try to grow some vegetables on it.

So when the villagers heard this, they all marveled at the luxury of the rich.

In this cold winter, everyone is just thinking about having enough to eat, but some people spend so much money to build a kang just to have a bite of fresh food.

Not to mention that after the kang is built, vegetables will not be available immediately. Someone has to heat the kang and someone has to grow the vegetables.

So, does it cost money to hire someone? Does it cost money to heat the kang?

When they thought about these things, they couldn't help but think of the firewood in Su Rongrong's house. When they remembered that the land was still used by her room, they couldn't help but show envy.

This meant that she rented out her room and sold the firewood at the same time.

While others are happy to dig some cassava from the mountains, they have a fixed income every month.

There is really no comparison between people.

This girl seems to have better luck after leaving the Su family.

I wonder if Suda and Qiao will regret it?

Her family is not living very well now. If Rong girl were still living in their home, their life would probably be the most comfortable and peaceful one in the village.

The consequence of being vicious and blind is that your life will become more and more difficult!

Since Su Rongrong stopped going up the mountain to grow cassava, she has been concentrating on serving the vegetables at home.

Su Manman either makes hair flowers or laces, and at the same time, she can also innovate and create new styles.

As for Su Qiaoqiao, she studied needlework diligently.

The tranquility of her home was broken when Liu Miao came to her house the next day.

Before entering the house, Liu Miao shook off the icicles on her straw raincoat and hat, then hung them outside the door before entering.

The first thing she did when she entered the house was to look at the seedlings, and then she said:

"Rongrong, do you know that five or six families have come to our village today?

Some of these people are married daughters, and some are the bride's family members who are married into the family.

They all came to live with their relatives because their families could not make ends meet.

You should have some idea of ​​the conditions of the people in our village.

It's OK to feed your own family, but how can you feed so many people?

Look, those people’s homes are not very happy to some extent.”
