The young couple from the farm fights back

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't even give her, her stepmother-in-law, any face, Lin was so angry that she jumped up from the ground.

"You are such a heartless Jiang, such a vicious woman! I was blind and pitied your eldest wife..."

If Wang hadn't stopped her, Lin would have pounced on Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't even turn her head, holding the two children, and walked out of the yard slowly.

Lin was smart, but she only used some tricks that an ordinary woman would use. They might have been enough to deal with the former Jiang, but not her, Jiang Li.

It was still early and she had more important things to do, so she didn't have time to waste talking to Lin.

"From the beginning, I didn't agree with the eldest brother marrying an orphan like you, who was doomed to failure. Ever since you married into our Zhou family, you killed my father-in-law and caused disunity among the brothers. Every single thing that happened is related to you, the Jiang family—"

Jiang Li sneered in her heart. The Jiang in the book was indeed an orphan. She had been living with someone else since she was old enough to understand. Today she would do some work at her third uncle's house to get half a bun, and tomorrow she would go to her uncle's house to plow some fields and get another half a bun.

The reason why Jiang married Zhou Chunfeng was because Lin wanted her to be an orphan, with a gentle and easy-to-control personality, and she didn't need any betrothal money and could work for the Zhou family.

If there is anyone who looks down on the Jiang family, it should be the late old man Zhou.

After all, Zhou Chunfeng is the eldest son and he is an honest man. The old man originally wanted to find a capable wife for him so that they could complement each other and live a good life.

Unable to withstand Lin's interference, several marriages that Old Man Zhou had chosen for his eldest son were secretly disrupted by Lin one after another.

However, Lin did choose good marriages for the two sons she had conceived.

Wang's father worked as a steward in a teahouse in the town. Although he was not the owner, he could still have a say.

The third son, Zhou Yunfu, was the youngest son that Lin valued, so naturally he married Lin's niece.

Firstly, she can be close to her mother's family, and secondly, the power of the Zhou family will not fall into the hands of outsiders in the future.

Wang tried so hard to please Lin, but in the end she got nothing in return.

Old Zhou's house was half a village away from the wooden shed. The heat after the August rain was the hottest. Perhaps because he was carrying a [baby bottle] on his back, Jiang Li was so tired that he was a little out of breath when he returned to the wooden shed.

Glancing at Zhou Chunfeng who was lying drowsy on the kang, Jiang Li couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth in mockery.

In real life, Zhou Chunfeng was so high-spirited and suave, flirting with women all day long and being extremely scheming and cunning, nothing like the coward described in the book.

Not only is he extremely thin, he is also skinny and frail. He seems to be breathing more than he is breathing out, and he will be killed in a minute.

In the book, Zhou Chunfeng was crippled after recovering from the plague he contracted, which dragged down Jiang and several children, making their lives even more miserable.

Jiang Li pulled the two children to the small stool beside the kang and said, "Brother Heng, take your younger brother home and look after your father."

Four-year-old Xiao Heng looked at his mother eagerly, and the more he looked, the more unfamiliar she seemed to him.

The scene of the quarrel between mother and stepmother just now lingered in the child's brother's mind for a long time.

[Mother is so strange. She is clearly mother, but she doesn't look like mother.]

Two-year-old Zhou Yijing jumped up from the bench and hugged Jiang Li's thighs.

"Mother, please don't go."

Children of this age are most dependent on their mothers, but Jiang Li couldn't take the child up the mountain.

It would be fine to carry the bottle that was playing with saliva on my back, but bringing Jing Ge'er along would only delay the progress.

"Be good, Jing'er. Mother is going to pick some herbs for your father. Otherwise, if he gets sick and dies, you won't have a father anymore."

Jing Ge'er didn't understand at all, but Heng Ge'er was stunned: "Mother, what is Laozi?"

"..."

"your dad!"

Heng Ge'er understood now. Although he didn't understand the meaning of "collecting herbs", he understood the meaning of "death".

He didn't want his father to die, so he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Heng brother will stay at home to look after his younger brother."

"Not bad, good boy." Jiang Li praised without reservation.

Hengge blinked, looking flattered and a little shy.

His mother had never praised him before, but the little brother was happy and hugged Jing'er's little body from behind.

"Mom, I want mom..." Jing Ge'er immediately opened his little mouth and cried until his face turned red and his neck was thick.

Yiheng played the role of the eldest brother very well, and coaxed his younger brother in a not very skillful way: "Don't cry, Jing'er, mother won't let father die."

Jiang Li, who was locking the door from the outside, almost tripped over his own heel.

"..."

To be honest, if possible, she would like Zhou Chunfeng in the book to be offline as soon as possible.

According to the plot in the book, tomorrow Lin heard the news of her uncle's return from her aunts and uncles in the village, and suddenly thought of her "poor" step-son. She was afraid that her uncle would know the secret of the division of the family, so she quickly sent two taels of silver coins to the eldest wife.

She did not forget to show her generosity as a stepmother, making the original couple grateful to her and only saying good things about Lin to outsiders.

But because of the delay in treating his illness, Zhou Chunfeng was like a disabled person after he recovered. He could not do heavy work or work hard, and all the burden fell on Jiang alone.

The couple can only function as one and a half people. In order to work in the fields to make a living, they have no time to take care of the children.

In the end, Yijing and Yian were taken away by the beggars who sneaked into the village. As the eldest brother, Yiheng felt extremely guilty about this.

Gradually, Heng Ge'er became withdrawn. When he was eight years old, he took advantage of the adults' inattention and ran up the mountain to find a crooked tree to end his life.

[Li Xiaokui] You must have a dark heart, not even letting such a young child go. If you want to write about depression, then just write about depression. Can you let the child grow up first?

This time, she would never let Zhou Chunfeng fall. Even if he was just a character in a book, even if he was a waste, she would train Zhou Chunfeng into an excellent farmer.

Jiang Li studied Traditional Chinese Medicine at university and worked in her grandfather's clinic for a few years after graduation. After her grandfather passed away, she sold the clinic. After that, she engaged in her favorite industry, self-media, and her partner was none other than the damned Zhou Chunfeng.

In reality, Jiang Li and Zhou Chunfeng met through a friend's introduction, hit it off immediately, and jointly opened a self-media company. The company grew bigger and bigger, and the number of artists incubated under it has grown to nearly a hundred.

However, the two people, both of whom have strong personalities, often disagree on work issues and almost fight on several occasions, but this does not affect their common progress in their careers at all.

Jiang Li didn't want to think about her past and present lives anymore. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. She carried her youngest son to a large mountain at the end of the village. A bamboo basket hung in front of her, a scalpel and a small hoe in her hands, and she slowly lowered her head to search for herbs in the mountains.

Jiutouao is the closest mountain to the village. Villagers often go up the mountain to collect grass for pigs and cut vegetables for chickens. There are many people on the mountain, so naturally there are few wild beasts that hurt people.

Yizhou City is located in the modern Shandong Province. Whether in ancient times or modern times, the thing it has the most is natural Isatis indigotica (Isatis root).

The plague that Zhou Chunfeng was infected with seemed serious, but it would be fine as long as the plague poison was expelled from his body in time.

When it comes to animal-transmitted plagues, it is best not to delay treatment, as the virus will invade the liver and become difficult to treat.

Jiang Li climbed up to the middle of the mountain and finally found a few tender green woads. The green grass in the mountains looked fresh and green after being watered by the heavy rain.

Jiang Li first picked a few tender shoots and put them in her mouth to chew. They were bitter and astringent, just like this taste.

Isatis indigotica likes to grow in patches. Jiang Li pulled aside the tall grass in front of him and found some good medicinal herbs growing unevenly underneath the grass.

It didn't take long before a full basket was dug. Little Yian on the back was very well behaved, occasionally babbling like a baby, but mostly playing with saliva bubbles.

When Jiang Li went down the mountain, he picked a large bundle of wild mugwort. Tonight, the family used the mugwort to bathe and sterilize, and then placed the boiled mugwort in a wooden shed for fumigation and disinfection.
