The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Lu family.

Mrs. Lu Li took the small bag of dry food that she had saved with great difficulty and coaxed her brother away in a gentle tone.

It was her turn to cook today. She had just gone to the kitchen to get busy when she heard Mrs. Lu screaming in a shrill voice.

"God damn it, who dared to steal my things?"

When Mrs. Lu Li heard that her things had been stolen, she quickly turned off the engine and ran to Old Lady Lu's room.

When we arrived, the small room was already packed with people.

The cabinet door on the kang was wide open, and the inside was a mess.

Mrs. Lu Li saw a little white flour left in the bag, a few eggs in the basin beside it, and some millet at the bottom of the cloth bag.

Only the bottom of the lard bowl was left, and only a few small pieces of coarse salt and a few pieces of new cloth were left in the salt bag.

These are things that Mrs. Lu Li cannot usually eat. They are usually eaten by the old couple and three sons of the Lu family. She couldn't stop swallowing her saliva just by looking at them.

There were so many good things, but she, her Da Zhuang and her family couldn't eat them. They were all eaten by the old woman and her family.

Mrs. Lu Li kept cursing Old Mrs. Lu in her heart.

In the room, Old Lady Lu sat on the ground wailing.

"I have a cabinet full of goodies. Who stole them? You shameless bastard, you eat so much. You're going to die of stuffing."

While howling, he seemed to remember something and stared at the people in the room in front of him, especially looking at the eldest son's wife and the second son's wife.

"Did you two steal it? Tell me, did you steal it?"

Mrs. Lu Li waved her hands hurriedly.

"Mom, it's not me. I've never been into your room."

Lu Wangshi also followed suit.

"Yes, yes, mother, I have never been in your room. It's not me."

Mrs. Lu wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Mr. Lu.

"Old woman, stop yelling. Think about the last time you opened the cabinet. Was the stuff still there?"

Old Mrs. Lu squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then said:

"The last time was when the third child got into trouble. Didn't you come back and open the cabinet to get some money? Later, when the family ran out of money, we couldn't bear to eat these things anymore."

"By the way, when Daya got married, we didn't hold a banquet. I asked the third child to get a few eggs from the cupboard and have an extra meal in the evening."

When Old Lady Lu said this, she looked at her youngest son. When Old Third Lu heard this, he looked puzzled.

"Mom, last time I took your keys, I only took a few eggs from the bowl and didn't touch anything else."

"You don't suspect it's me, do you?"

The more Lu Laosan spoke, the more anxious he became. Seeing the suspicious look in Old Lady Lu's eyes, he felt that he was being wronged.

In the past, he would get some food from the cupboard to satisfy his cravings with my mother's permission.

Although he occasionally takes a little more, this time, it really wasn’t him!

Old Man Lu looked at his third son with suspicion on his face.

"San'er, what was in the cabinet when you took something out last time?"

"Dad, it was dark when I took it last time. I didn't look closely. I just took the eggs from the bowl and left."

After Lu Lao San finished explaining, he saw that everyone around him was looking at him with suspicion, and he became even more irritated.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Li Niang is gone, so who would I give the money to? Mom, please speak up for me. It really wasn't me who took it this time. I didn't touch the wooden box in the cabinet. The money in it must have been stolen by someone else."

When Boss Lu and Boss Lu heard this, they immediately looked at Old Lady Lu with suspicion.

Their mother has always favored the third child since they were young. She secretly gave him money to buy delicious food when he was young, and even secretly gave him extra money after he got married.

They just put up with what happened in the past.

But now, the third brother even knows where the money is hidden at home!

Boss Lu was particularly angry. His father said that most of this family would belong to him in the future.

But he didn't even know about the money hidden at home, and it was clear that he didn't take his eldest son seriously.

He even sold his daughter for the sake of this family. Not only did he not get any food, but even the money in the family was stolen by the third brother.

Boss Lu firmly believed that the money was stolen by the third brother.

Only Old Mrs. Lu and Old Man Lu have the key to the cupboard at home, and now the lock is not broken, so it must have been stolen by the third brother.

Lu Laoer also suspected that it was the third brother who stole it. The eldest brother was a simple-minded boy and became obedient after being coaxed by his father. He didn't need any money to coax him.

Judging from his mother's behavior and expression, it seems that the money is really gone and she is not just pretending.

That can only be the third brother. What a good third brother! For him, the family spent twenty taels of silver, and now he has stolen all the family savings.

The more he thought about it, the angrier Lu Lao Er got. He rushed forward and punched Lu Lao San in the face, cursing as he hit him.

"You're such a good boy, Third Brother! Our family has already spent twenty taels of silver to protect you. This is three acres of prime farmland, and you, being so greedy, have stolen all the remaining money from our family. Are you trying to starve our whole family to death?"

"I'll beat you to death, you thief!"

Lu Lao Er's punches were deadly. After two hits, Lu Lao San reacted and started to fight back.

At this time, Boss Lu also came forward to help, and the two brothers beat the third brother together.

In just a few hits, Lu Laosan was beaten to the ground and had no strength to fight back.

Old Mrs. Lu wanted to stop them, but was supported by Mrs. Lu Li and Mrs. Lu Wang.

The two men said that they were afraid that Mrs. Lu would be beaten, but in fact they did not want her to go in to help.

At first, Old Man Lu was thinking of hitting the third brother a few times to vent his anger, but he saw that the third brother was lying motionless after being beaten.

Fearing that the third brother would be beaten to death, he rushed forward to pull the eldest and second brothers, but the angry eldest brother Lu waved his hand to block them.

The defenseless old man Lu fell to the ground. His bones were brittle and he hit his tailbone with a loud bang. He was in so much pain that he couldn't move.

When Mrs. Lu saw her old man fall, she pushed her two daughters-in-law aside and went to help the old man.

He cried out in pain and was terrified whenever he moved.

Old Mrs. Lu's scream startled both of her sons.

The two brothers then stopped and ran to Old Man Lu to show their concern.

Old Man Lu asked his two sons to carry him to the kang and waved his hand to let his two sons go back.

But the eldest and second oldest brothers were still standing in front of the kang and refused to leave. They insisted on searching the third oldest brother's room.

Old Man Lu had no choice but to agree.

He originally wanted to let his two sons go back, and then he and his wife would go to search the third son's house again.

After finding it, hide the hairpin again. It is a family heirloom.

Considering that the third brother hasn't been out for a while, Jinchai must still be at home.

As for the food, although I felt bad about it, after all, it was my son who ate it, so it was not wasted.

Now, since the two sons insist on searching, let’s search.

It's nothing more than putting the gold hairpin in the open so that the children can know about it.

But who would have thought that the third brother's house was almost demolished, and the eldest and second brothers did not find the hairpin.

Old Man Lu was really anxious now, so he called the third child into the house alone and tried to tempt and coax him.

Seeing that he failed, he threatened and questioned the third brother again. Seeing that he still refused to tell the truth, he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.

Boss Lu and Lu Lao Er beat up the third brother again, but no matter how the third brother Lu defended himself, everyone thought he had stolen it.

Qin family.

She was completely unaware of the big drama caused by Lu Qingqing, and was currently worrying about the lack of water at home.

That evening, while Grandma Qin was busy in the house, Lu Qingqing poured water into the well in the yard from the space.

It took a while before she saw water slowly accumulating in the well, until there was about two buckets of water. Lu Qingqing quickly ran into the house and called Grandma Qin to come and see.

Grandma Qin was also shocked to see water in the well. She hurried to close the door and asked Qin Lang to pump the water out of the well.
