Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong
Chapter 444: The Miserable "Rations" on the Road to Escape
"It's mine, it's mine. If you dare to steal my toy, I'll beat you to death~"
Two little children began to quarrel over a grasshopper, and soon they came to blows.
You grab me, I push you. The wet nurses busily tried to mediate the quarrel. At the same time, they all secretly complained: This Aunt Sun's brother is too out of line.
Knowing that there were two children at home, he only brought one grasshopper. Isn't this obviously asking the two children to fight over it?
Sun Bailu and Sun Yaozu turned a deaf ear to this and were too lazy to pay any attention.
Sun Yaozu sat down on a chair beside him and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a long time. My sister is acting very distant with me now."
Sun Bailu said angrily: "That's totally unreasonable. Am I not good enough to you now?"
Sun Yaozu shook his head:
"I just heard today that my nephew had a birthday party a few days ago. Why didn't you send someone home to tell me so that I could give him a big gift?"
That being said, he only brought a straw grasshopper today, which was probably worth a few cents.
Sun Bailu was unaware of this, and instead showed a look of shame on his face when he heard it.
Since their return from Jingyuan that day without success, and the next day all the money Yunniang had brought with her lost, Qu Zhongliang had no choice but to work as an accountant at a rice shop in town, earning a little over 300 wen a month.
Unfortunately, Yunniang was used to a comfortable life and could not bear such a hard life at all. Not long after, she left her father and son and ran away with a merchant who was passing by.
Since then, Sun Yaozu and Sun Bailu could no longer eat and drink at the Qu family, and their lives became difficult again. At this time, Sun Bailu was targeted by a lame hunter in the village.
The hunter carried half a wild boar to the Sun family and asked them to marry Sun Bailu to him, and they would get married in three days.
Sun Zhengzhi hesitated.
Deep down, he didn't want to marry Sun Bailu off easily. But the Sun family didn't have a real labor force now, so when Mrs. Sun was about to reach Xinyang City, she took Sun Miaomiao with her and married off.
The rest of the girls in the family were either married off or sold.
The remaining people are now struggling to find food.
Furthermore, there was no movement in Sun Bailu's cave, but the Sun family had been feeding her well for so many years in vain.
Faced with the dire reality, Sun Zhengzhi hesitated again and again, but finally accepted the wild boar brought by the hunter. After all, even if Sun Bailu married, she would still have to make a living in the village.
Even if her cave is restored in the future, Sun Bailu will still have to rely on the Sun family as her mother's family.
When Sun Bailu heard the news, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
Oh my god, she had seen plots like "The Time-Traveling Little Wife Marries the Lame Rough Man" in novels before, but it really didn't suit her.
She has no medical skills, can't cook, and can't endure hardship.
Moreover, she had secretly met the hunter that day. Not only was he old, but he was also dirty and smelly, and not good-looking. He had nothing in common with the male protagonist of the novel.
Compared with Situ Zhige, she is far inferior, but now she can't reach Situ Zhige either.
In desperation, Sun Bailu secretly went to Qu Zhongliang for advice. Surprisingly, Qu Zhongliang actually found her a way out. His rice shop owner, Mr. Liu, was looking for a concubine who could bear children.
Qu Zhongliang said that Mr. Liu's family was well-off and Sun Bailu would definitely live a good life if she married into their family. If she was willing, he could help to set them up.
There was only one thing: Mr. Liu was 35 years old this year. He already had a wife, two concubines, and four or five children. However, he had only one illegitimate son.
That's why I want to add another room.
Sun Bailu hesitated when she heard this. This condition was also far inferior to Situ Zhige's. But just when she was hesitating, the three days were up.
The hunter packed her up and carried her away without saying anything. In the bridal chamber, he showed no mercy and tortured Sun Bailu to death. When she slept, her snoring was even louder than usual.
What’s even more annoying is that the hunter’s house is penniless, and Sun Bailu feels extremely regretful.
At this time, Qu Zhongliang also conveyed Liu Yuanwai's intention. Liu Yuanwai was very satisfied with Sun Bailu's conditions and said that a sedan chair would come to pick her up in two days.
Sun Bailu made up his mind and secretly climbed into the Liu family's sedan chair two days later.
She consummated her marriage with Mr. Liu that night.
Afterwards, Mr. Liu naturally discovered that Sun Bailu was no longer a virgin.
Sun Bailu tried every trick in the book, crying and saying how pitiful she was and how she had no choice, and finally succeeded in staying in Liu's house.
She became Mr. Liu's third concubine.
This incident made the Sun family very unhappy because they did not receive a single cent of the 100 taels of silver that Liu Yuanwai had given to the hunters as compensation.
Chen Bailu knew that she was in the wrong, and she was also afraid of being isolated and helpless in this ancient society, so she always tolerated Sun Yaozu who frequently came to her house to ask for money.
After Sun Bailu came to the Liu family, she soon gave birth to a daughter, and a year later she gave birth to a son. This made her feel that she had truly established herself and she was very proud of herself all day long.
She had no idea that no one in the Liu family, including Mr. Liu, liked her.
Mr. Liu was particularly concerned that she was not a virgin.
So she ordered the servants around her to keep a close eye on her. Usually, everything was purchased by the servants and delivered directly to the courtyard. She was not allowed to leave the house at all.
I'm just afraid that Sun Bailu will cheat on me again.
Especially when Sun Yaozu came, the maids and servants stared at him intently, which made Sun Yaozu have an illusion that all the maids were attracted to him.
Sun Bailu wanted to make amends and also wanted to show off how favored he was in the Liu family. So he smiled at Sun Yaozu and said:
"We were too busy the past two days. Perhaps the servants were negligent. Please don't blame me, brother."
"Look at you, I don't know where you came from, you're sweating all over. I just happened to have some new food here, I'll have someone bring it over later, you can try it."
"What good stuff? Could it be that your... is back?"
Sun Yaozu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but gesture with his hands. He still remembered the delicious food he had eaten as a child.
That's called nutrition, and there's also milk tea, chocolate, and small cakes...
Sun Bailu's expression paused for a moment - Sun Yaozu really brought up things that were not relevant to the topic, but fortunately he still knew to avoid it.
Then the smile returned:
"No. The official sent someone to deliver it yesterday. He said it was brought down from a ship by merchants from Persia. It's called fruit honey."
"Oh~" Sun Yaozu was a little disappointed.
Then he covered it up again and talked to Sun Bailu about the recent affairs of the Sun family. Not long after, the little maid brought in three glass cups.
Each glass cup was filled with a blood-colored liquid that looked very similar to the wine of later generations, except that it had a mellower texture.
When Sun Yaozu saw this rare thing, his eyes suddenly lit up again.
He immediately reached out and took a cup, brought it to his lips and drank it all. Then a strange look appeared on his face:
"Why is this fruit honey bitter?"
Having said that, he couldn't wait to reach out for the second lamp.
"Hun, this honey is sweet, how can it be bitter?" Sun Bailu said coquettishly, reaching out to take it, intending to taste it herself. She hadn't been willing to drink it when it was brought to her, just thinking of showing it off when someone came.
But the two little guys on the side refused to do it.
Aunt and uncle were always like this, talking endlessly whenever they got together and ignoring the two of them. So the two children looked at each other.
——Just take the speed of children’s hands, it’s really amazing.
In the blink of an eye, two people rushed over, each grabbed a cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"You two annoying little guys~"
Sun Bailu cursed angrily, but received warning looks from the old women in return, which made her feel even more aggrieved.
