"All the people in the Zhang family are dead. If Zhang Dahe doesn't bring his son over tonight to explain things clearly, I, Wang Cuihua, will never forgive him!" She went to find the Zhang family to reason with them, but no one showed up.

Xu Wangshi, who was holding her breath, spoke loudly. When she walked to the door and saw the dazed Xu Siyu, she immediately fell silent, fearing that she would be upset again.

"My daughter, Zhang Yue is good at studying, but he's not good-looking. My daughter is so pretty, and it's obvious that he's not worthy of her. We don't want that Zhang guy anymore. I'll find you a better one later."

Xu Siyu didn't think too much about it. Just from the original owner's memory, she could tell that Zhang Yue was not a good person. He was just a vain and arrogant man. She really looked down on people like him.

"Mom, I know he looks down on me and it's impossible for him to miss me anymore, so don't worry."

"Really?" Xu Wangshi didn't quite believe it, but she knew that her daughter was a tough character who usually did what she said, so she reluctantly felt relieved.

Of course, this means that if you want a hairpiece, you can get it, even if it's someone else's. You can get whatever you want, and you won't give up until you get it.

Xu Wang looked at her eldest son standing beside her and said unhappily, "I'll get you a bag of sweet potatoes. Go to your eldest sister's house and exchange them for some meat to nourish your youngest sister."

"No need, Mom, I'm fine now. Don't keep looking for my sister. She has her mother-in-law to take care of her..."

Xu Siyu remembered Xu Sinong's family status in her husband's family and stopped the old lady directly.

Whether there was something to do or not, Xu Wangshi liked to ask her eldest son-in-law for things. What she sent was either sweet potatoes or radishes and cabbages, and what she got in return was either meat, cakes or the private money saved by her eldest sister.

It would be fine if the amount of things she sent was small, but what was exaggerated was that the vegetables she sent were often rotten and infested with insects.

Giving rotten food as a gift is not only shameful but also carries a bad omen.

Butcher Yang is not a good-tempered person. He was so angry that he beat up the eldest sister Xu Si Nong before. For this, Xu Wangshi even scolded him to the whole town. Now I'm afraid he has forgotten what happened.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with asking her to give you something?" Mrs. Xu was immediately displeased, her voice rising. "I raised her with all my heart, so it's only natural for me to ask her to give me something. I even gave her something!"

Xu Huaishan didn't respond. He had always been a filial son who listened to his mother. Although he knew that his eldest sister was not having a good time every time he went there, he never refuted his mother.

"Mom, I don't want to eat those. Today's dumplings are delicious." Xu Siyu wanted to tell her not to ask her elder sister for things in the future, but the original owner would never say such a thing. The contrast was too great and it would be easy to be discovered. It is better to change slowly.

Xu Wangshi glanced at Xu Siyu strangely, but did not insist. "Okay, then, you lie down for a while. I'll ask Yue Yatou to cook. Big Boss, go back to the room."

Xu Huaishan turned around and left. The old lady took out the key wrapped around her waist, opened the side cabinet, and took out a small bag of brown rice, probably about ten pounds.

The old lady first scooped up a bowl, shook some back, and finally left a little more than half a bowl of rice.

"Girl Yue, come here and get the rice!" The old lady called out to Xu Nianyue loudly. She was the one who usually cooked.

Xu Nianyue entered the house, secretly glanced at the old lady and Xu Siyu, and looked at the bowl in Wang Cuihua's hand, and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her aunt was not going to make trouble for her this time, so she didn't tell her grandma about eating dumplings.

Xu Nianyue quickly took the bowl and went out, as if if she stayed any longer, she would be scolded by her grandmother.

Xu Siyu looked at the fleeing figure with amusement and shook her head.

The old lady was worried about the girl cooking alone, so she put on her shoes and followed her.

The others came back from the mountain one after another, packed up their things, and slowly sat around the brazier in the main hall waiting for dinner.

In her previous life, Xu Siyu lived in the countryside with her grandmother and helped collect firewood when she had nothing to do. She thought that one day she would go to the mountains with everyone.

She hadn't been to the mountain since she started school, and now she really wanted to go there with them. Maybe she could find the ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum mentioned in the book... She could exchange them for some money quickly and activate her golden finger.

She just took a quick look at the pork Xixi bought. Although it was frozen, it cost ten copper coins per pound, which was half the market price here.

Besides, the level of fresh frozen food in the 21st century is actually not bad.

It’s good enough to have meat to eat, how dare the poor people complain about it?

"time to eat."

The old lady shouted, and the younger ones began to set the table and serve the food.

The old lady sat in the center, and the rest of the people took their seats in order.

The only special seat at the table was Xu Siyu, who sat close to the old lady's left.

The Xu family has many prosperous descendants.

Although the deceased old man Xu was an only son, Xu Wang gave birth to three sons and two daughters for him. The whole family was together, and they had to put two square tables together to eat.

Xu Huaishan, the honest eldest brother, is forty years old. He is married to He Xiangmei and has two daughters and two sons. The eldest daughter, Xu Nianxue, is twenty and already married. The second daughter, Xu Nianyue, is the same age as Xu Siyu and is engaged to be married after the New Year. The eldest son, Xu Chengqi, is seventeen years old. He is down-to-earth and sensible, and takes good care of his aunt, who is two years younger than him. He is the closest to Xu Siyu among the younger generation. The second son, Xu Chengzi, has just turned ten. He is the only child younger than Xu Siyu and is very naughty. He now attends a private school and is both respectful and afraid of Xu Siyu.

The eldest sister, Xu Sinong, was hardworking and filial. She married into the town at the age of fifteen. Even after getting married, she never forgot her family and often contributed to their family. Now she is thirty-eight and has two sons.

The 35-year-old second brother, Xu Huaichuan, married Su Li and had an 18-year-old son, Xu Chengyuan. Xu Chengyuan was spoiled by his second brother and his wife, and spent his days wandering around the village. He secretly looked down on his adopted daughter-in-law, Xu Siyu, but was suppressed and dared not openly challenge her. Of course, Xu Siyu also looked down on him.

The shrewd third brother, Xu Huaize, was thirty-three years old. He married Zhao Shuqin and had twin sons, just sixteen years old. The elder was named Xu Chengjie, and the younger was Xu Chenglin. The third brother and his wife were shrewd, and they raised their children well. The family of four found work as helpers in a town restaurant and were the family's breadwinners.

Fifteen-year-old Xu Siyu is the beloved youngest daughter of Xu Wangshi and the little aunt of the family.

……

On the table was a bowl of plain porridge, a bowl of grayish-black steamed buns, and a plate of shredded radish and pickled vegetables.

The old lady served the children a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun for each of them. When it came to Xu Siyu, she scooped out the rice grains that had sunk to the bottom, filling the bowl full.

Almost all the rice that was cooked.

The children were not surprised at all. They lowered their heads and ate from their bowls, eating the hard steamed corn bread.

Xu Siyu hadn't eaten much today and wasn't very hungry, so she handed the steamed bun to the old lady and kept half a bowl of porridge for herself.

"Mom, you eat it. I'm not very hungry." Xu Siyu put the porridge directly into the old lady's bowl, and the old lady drank it in one gulp.

Everyone at the table looked at Xu Siyu in a daze. How could this girl not feel hungry even if she was full?

Then I remembered that grandma often cooked special meals for my aunt, so I thought she was too full.

Everyone felt aggrieved, but dared not even say a word.

Xu Nianyue naturally knew that Xu Siyu only ate half a bowl of dumplings, and the rest went into her stomach.

She wasn't hungry, so she quietly put the steamed bun into her pocket, intending to give it to her younger brother.

Each person had a bowl of rice soup with a few grains of rice in it. Men had two steamed buns, boys had one and a half, and women and children each had one.

The meal was settled, but it was only four o'clock in the afternoon and it was already getting dark.

In winter, we only have two meals a day. After eating, we have to go to bed early if we have nothing to do, so as not to get hungry due to lack of sleep.

Today, the old lady did not go back to the house. She took Xu Siyu to stay in the main room and sat around the brazier, as if waiting for something.

The three Xu brothers also stayed and kept the others company, letting them go back to sleep first.

The firewood in the brazier was crackling, and just when the old lady was getting impatient and about to lose her temper, there was a knock on the door.
