Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Yang Xiuying stepped in front of the children and said, "Since we have divided the family, I will take care of the children naturally. There is no need to trouble my mother-in-law."

"Yang Xiuying! You will regret it sooner or later!"

Yang Xiuying didn't want to argue with Zhao's mother any longer, so she looked at the old village chief and asked, "Village chief, has the deed been written?"

"Okay, just sign your names."

The old village chief stopped writing and looked at Yang Xiuying and Zhao's mother. "From today on, Yang and her seven maids will be separated. The division of the fields and forests is clearly written. After both parties sign, there will be no further objections."

Zhao's mother was illiterate, but she trusted the village chief and pressed her fingerprints without hesitation.

……

Zhao's mother and Tian Guilan felt their hearts bleed when they saw the grain being moved away and the livestock being captured by the maids.

"These ungrateful bastards are so ruthless! Can you even carry so much? Don't break your back!"

"Mom, don't be angry. They don't even have a place to live right now. They will be back in a while. Then we'll make them pay double."

Yang Xiuying borrowed a cart from the village chief's house, parked it outside the yard, and she and her daughters loaded the food they had received onto the cart. The eldest daughter and her younger sisters caught four chickens and three ducks from the chicken coop.

After packing up her belongings, Yang Xiuying put a hemp rope around her neck and held the handrail of the cart tightly with her hands. She didn't get too many things, but Yang Xiuying's previous generation only did experiments in the laboratory, and at most planted rice in the experimental fields. They were not capable of doing physical work.

"Auntie, let me do it."

The second daughter, who was not fond of talking, took off the hemp rope that Yang Xiuying had put around her neck.

"Mom, you and my sisters can help me push the cart from behind."

Seeing that Yang Xiuying was still hesitant, the eldest daughter, who was holding two chickens, whispered in Yang Xiuying's ear: "Second sister, you are very strong. You usually protect your aunt and grandma from showing it."

The three older daughters all do physical work. If Zhao's mother and Tian Guilan knew that the second daughter had the brute force of a lifetime, they would definitely treat her like an ox.

Hearing her eldest daughter say this, Yang Xiuying didn't hesitate and instructed the second daughter, "Pandi, try it first. If it's too heavy, stop and don't hurt yourself."

The second sister agreed and pulled the cart forward without the need for her sisters to push her. Soon she had put some distance between herself and the sisters behind her.

"Second sister, please wait for us!"

"Second brother, slow down!"

"Second sister, do you know where we are going?"

The second child's mind went blank. Yes! Where should we go now?

But finally I don’t have to look at grandma and aunt’s expressions. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Mom has changed for the better. She knows how to protect and care for the seven sisters. She even said such words today - adopted daughters make the third generation of the rich!

The second child had shallow eye sockets, and as he thought about it, tears welled up in his eyes.

The villagers saw the second brother pulling the cart at great speed, and Xiuying and her six girls chasing after them. They only started to talk after the mother and daughter were far away.

"Is Zhao Laoer's family splitting up?"

As soon as Yang Xiuying left, the well-informed woman got the news from Wang Shufen, the village chief's daughter-in-law.

"You don't know yet, right?"

The villagers who love to listen to gossip and are idle during the farming season gather in twos and threes.

"Tell me quickly, why did Xiuying split up the family?"

"Yes, how could she, a widow with seven maids, survive after leaving the Zhao family?"

"The old sister-in-law of the Zhao family has never liked Xiuying, and those girls. I think leaving might not be a bad thing."

"As a widow, it's difficult for her to make ends meet without anyone to rely on. I think Xiuying should just be patient and give in a little. With the Zhao family's support, she won't have to worry about losing her life."

"Tolerate? Didn't you see the commotion at noon? The seventh girl said that the old lady of the Zhao family was going to sell the eldest girl to the old bachelor, and then the second and third daughters, and finally Xiuying to the old bachelor. If Xiuying doesn't make a fuss, she will just have to wait to be sold to the old bachelor."

"Hey, how come the old sister-in-law of the Zhao family knows so many old bachelors? It's been ten years since Mr. Zhao passed away, right?"

……

The young woman admired Xiuying from the bottom of her heart for taking seven maids to separate from the family. In the past, she saw Xiuying not being nice to her daughters in order to please her mother-in-law. Now it seems that Xiuying was compromising at that time.

The older women talked about Zhao's mother's gossip around the topic of the old bachelor.

The second brother pulled the cart in front and stopped at a cave at the foot of the mountain. There was an open space in front of the cave.

These two connected mountains were given to Xiuying by Zhao's mother. They were also the places where the children often came to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables. When it rained, the girls would hide in this cave.

The second brother parked the cart in front of the cave and looked at Yang Xiuying who was chasing him from behind and asked in a low voice: "Mother, do you think it's okay for us to live here? These two big mountains behind us are what Grandma gave us."

Yang Xiuying stood in the open space in front of the cave and looked down. She could see most of Futian Village. It was neither too far nor too close to the village.

Then he bent down and pinched the soil as usual, analyzing it: "The soil here is hard and compacted. It's not suitable for growing crops, but it's suitable for building houses. Hmm, not bad!"

The six carrot heads that caught up behind jumped up happily.

"From now on, this will be our home."

Even though there is no wall to shelter from the wind and rain, even though there is not enough food, they still cheer.

Yang Xiuying stood in the open space and said to her three little daughters, "When I make money, I will build you houses, big houses, one here, one there, and there's a place to feed the pigs, the cows, and the ducks. I'll also build a big yard."

The seventh and sixth brothers happily spun in circles

"Oh, that's great, we have our own house now."

"We still have more chickens and ducks than we can eat."

"Mom is awesome!"

While Yang Xiuying was imagining the future, the eldest, second and third brothers had already put the things in the car into the cave.

The second brother came out and put the hemp rope on the cart around his neck again.

"Mother, I'm going to the village chief's house to return the cart."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

The second brother responded, pulled the cart, raised a cloud of dust, and disappeared in a flash.

Now she no longer has to hide her strength. For the sake of her mother and sisters, she is full of energy and can't wait to go to the fields to plow two acres of land to let her grandmother and aunt see how women are inferior to men.

When Yang Xiuying walked into the cave, the eldest and third brothers were sorting the things they had taken down from the cart. The fourth and fifth brothers had built a simple fence with branches around the four chickens and three ducks they had brought. The sixth and seventh brothers were also busy, picking up stones outside, apparently preparing to build a stove.

Now that she has some free time, she has to study the system carefully.
