The all-round housekeeper is a stick
Chapter 22: Not Starving
After Lin Mumu returned to the utility room and bolted the door, he piled the backpacks and buckets piled up in the utility room behind the door to block it.
There's no way, this door is too fragile. If I don't put something in front of it, anyone from outside can knock it down with just a little force.
Only after lying on the bed did Lin Mumu breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she was quite tired after making so much noise at night, and her throat was sore from shouting.
In order to make her cries louder and clearer every time they quarreled, she often shouted on the mountain.
Stop shouting until your throat hurts and your voice becomes hoarse, and continue when it is almost healed.
After practicing for more than a month, the volume of her voice was several degrees higher than before, not to mention shouting.
It can't be guaranteed to be transmitted far away, but it can ensure that the neighbors can hear it and discover the Lin family's farce at the first time.
There was no way. From the old to the young, no one in this family really took "Lin Mumu" seriously.
Otherwise, the original body wouldn't have to add an extra bucket of water for each meal.
The others didn't beat her often, but they punished her nonetheless. Chen Guixiang and Hong Mei threatened her with three meals a day.
The original body had tried to resist, thinking that she could just not eat it, but all she could do was pick wild fruits to eat. However, eating too many wild fruits would make her stomach uncomfortable, and there were very few wild fruits to pick in winter.
The feeling of being hungry was too uncomfortable, and after giving in, the porridge that Old Lady Lin and Chen Guixiang gave her would become a little thicker. In the past, if there were only a few grains of rice at the bottom of the bowl, then there would be one-third of it.
The original body, who had been hungry for a long time, was very satisfied to have a full meal. After being trained a few times, the original body no longer had much aversion to doing those kinds of work.
The original body was afraid of hunger, but she was not afraid of hunger. Now she had the system hammer, so she would not be hungry.
She hadn't starved to death or surrendered in the past month, so the Lin family probably wouldn't threaten her with food anymore. However, Lin Xiaoxia was pregnant, and if she continued to just pick up wild vegetables, fruits and firewood as before and didn't take over the work that Lin Xiaoxia did, Lin Xiaoxia would probably beat her.
It is mentioned in the book that after Lin Xiaoxia became pregnant again, she did a lot of harm to her original body. Pinching her arms and ears were no big deal, and she would often beat her with a stick, a long, thin stick.
But it's just a slap or two to let out the anger, but it won't make the original body unable to work.
The Lin family also turned a blind eye until the original owner exploded and didn't want to wash the clothes, which caused another conflict. He also accidentally exposed the scandal that "Lin family's daughter-in-law even let Lin Mumu wash her underwear."
Lin Xiaoxia was so ashamed and angry that she beat the original body until he fainted. But the Lin family ignored her and left her to fend for herself. It was her fate that she lived to see Lin Jianhua come and pick her up.
Lin Mumu made a fuss at night, but then she "surrendered" and did more work just to prevent Lin Xiaoxia, that crazy woman, from beating her up again.
If she gets hit, she will be the one to suffer.
So Lin Mumu asked Lin Jianshe to promise that she would not die, and said that she would still go wash vegetables, feed pigs, and collect firewood every day, things that would allow her to appear in other people's sight every day.
If she was beaten one day, and she didn't show up, those gossipy and enthusiastic neighbors would always speculate about what she said at night, wondering if she was beaten to death by the Lin family.
Then I should be able to safely wait for Lin Jianhua to pick me up.
Lin Jianhua and Lin Huaiyu were both at work. It would take at least two days of train ride to get back from there, so it was impossible for them to take time off to come and pick her up.
Most likely, they would wait until August. By then, Lin Huaiyu, a teacher, would be on summer vacation, and an important project he was involved in at Lin Jianshe's factory would be completed, so Lin Jianhua would have time to pick Lin Mumu up.
Why did the two of them not think of picking up Lin Mumu for five years, but would come to pick her up in August? Because Lin Huaiyu was pregnant with her fourth child and had severe morning sickness, which started before summer vacation.
She thought the vomiting would subside after a month or two, but she was still vomiting when she was four months pregnant. During summer vacation, she couldn't take her children to the school cafeteria. Since both kids were big eaters, just cooking one dish wouldn't be enough. But if she cooked too much, Lin Huaiyu couldn't stand the smell of cooking oil.
Lin Jianhua was busy with a project at the factory and had no way to take care of his wife. His two children didn't know how to cook or do housework, so they originally wanted to hire someone to help.
However, before they found the right person, Lin Jianshe called Lin Jianhua and asked him to take the child away.
I know that it was because Lin Mumu and Lin Xiaoxia were not getting along, and Lin Xiaoxia was pregnant again, so she asked them to take the person away.
Lin Jianhua carefully asked his eldest brother what Lin Mumu could do. Knowing that Lin Mumu could do everything except cooking, Lin Jianhua considered taking Lin Mumu to his side.
Lin Huaiyu's father had a serious illness, which cost him a lot of money. After he recovered, he had to be taken care of, so he couldn't give them much.
Lin Yuanyu and Lin Yuanze were both in their prime, and they were both greedy, becoming angry if they didn't eat meat for three or five days. Furthermore, Lin Huaiyu had been unable to eat much since her pregnancy due to morning sickness, and fearing she wouldn't get enough nutrition, Lin Jianshe felt sorry for her and bought her milk powder for her to drink daily.
In addition, since the baby was about to come out, it would cost money, so Lin Jianhua went home and discussed with his wife that instead of spending money to hire someone to help, it would be better to bring Lin Mumu back. The money saved would be dozens of yuan, which could be used to buy more food.
Lin Huaiyu thought it was okay, as there was a ready-made room at home for Lin Mumu to sleep in, and it didn't cost any money.
So, after the project ended, Lin Jianhua came to pick up Lin Mumu in early August.
