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

At that time, Grandpa Qin was considered a capable man in the village and had great martial arts skills.

At that time, bandits were rampant in the mountains, and the old village chief came to ask Mr. Qin to escort his son Lu Tianming to take the imperial examination.

Along the way, Grandpa Qin saved Lu Tianming and his classmates many times, and was deeply grateful to the old village chief and his family.

The old village chief’s family has lived in Lujia Village for generations and they are relatives to most of the families in the village. He has been the village chief for many years and has a very high prestige.

After this incident, the Qin family also gained a firm foothold in Lujia Village.

Seeing that Erxi was spoiled at home and didn't work hard, and his physical fitness was not as strong as Zhuzi's, Grandpa Qin politely declined.

Zhuzi's father went back several times and saw that Grandpa Qin really didn't want to accept Erxi, so he started to try to find ways for Grandpa Qin to make money.

At that time, Lu Tianming had just passed the imperial examination and was appointed an official in the county government. Some wealthy and powerful people in the county needed a martial artist to escort them, so they recommended him to Grandpa Qin.

There were also two strong men in the village who occasionally followed Grandpa Qin once or twice. When they came back, their families were very happy because they could see that they had made money.

Zhuzi's father also wanted to go with them, but he didn't know any martial arts and was not physically strong, so Grandpa Qin naturally refused again.

This time, Zhuzi's father had a bad idea and told the village chief that it was Grandpa Qin who agreed to let him go. Because he had been going to Qin's house frequently recently, Zhuzi was accepted as a disciple by Grandpa Qin.

The old village chief had no doubts. When they arrived in the county and Grandpa Qin found out, the host had already counted the number of people and was ready to set off.

At this time, there was no choice but to let him follow, but this time, Zhuzi's father got into trouble.

On the way, when they encountered bandits, Zhuzi's father was too scared and accidentally alarmed the bandits, causing the host family to lose a lot of property.

After returning, the master of the house insisted on punishing him and took his anger out on Grandpa Qin, detaining all the people.

Fortunately, Lu Tianming stepped in and did a favor to get them out.

When they returned to the village, the old village chief was furious when he found out and wanted to drive Zhuzi's father and his family out of Lujia Village.

The Wang family members pleaded for him, so he was not kicked out.

However, he severely punished Zhuzi's father, which frightened him so much that he couldn't help but feel afraid when he saw the old village chief.

From then on, Grandpa Qin no longer had a good face for him. Whenever he entered the Qin family's door, he would be picked up and thrown out.

Zhuzi's father took out his anger on Zhuzi. During that period, Zhuzi was often injured and could not even eat.

As a last resort, I stayed at the Qin family for a while.

It was not until Zhuzi grew up a little and his parents saw that they could work that they took him back home with both coaxing and threats.

Later, when Grandpa Qin passed away, Zhuzi, despite his parents' opposition, helped Grandma Qin to see Grandpa off for the last time.

Over the years, Zhuzi has often come to help with the Qin family's work.

Hearing this, Lu Qingqing felt relieved.

The old village chief's family has a good relationship with my family, and Zhuzi's family is also close to my family. If I encounter problems in the future, I will have someone to help me.

Two days later, Zhuzi's wife came to deliver a message saying that Zhuzi's fever had subsided and he could get up now.

They felt relieved after hearing this. Knowing that Zhuzi's family did not have enough firewood, Grandma Qin even gave Zhuzi's wife a large bundle of firewood.

Knowing that his family did not have enough food, he gave half a bag of food to Zhuzi's wife. Zhuzi's wife could not refuse, so she took it back.

When Zhuzi heard about it after returning, he was even more grateful.

It's snowing outside and the temperature is getting lower and lower.

The temperature has now dropped to more than 20 degrees below zero, which has never been so low in previous years.

Grandma Qin has had a cough these past two days, and Lu Qingqing wanted to make some cold medicine for her, but Grandma Qin thought she just caught a cold and refused to let the medicine go to waste.

Lu Qingqing had no choice but to boil a large pot of ginger tea and add some brown sugar, hoping that she would feel better after drinking it.

Grandma Qin is very afraid of the cold because of her old age. Lu Qingqing now heats the kang very hot every day and does not allow Grandma Qin to go out.

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier, and we have to go out to sweep the snow every day.

The Qin family's roof is still covered with tiles, which provides stronger support, but it still needs to be swept twice a day.

Many families in the village who use thatched roofs have to sweep more frequently to prevent their roofs from collapsing.

Maybe it was because they had been exercising with Qin Lang and had been eating enough nutritious food, so neither of them got sick during this temperature drop.

Lu Qingqing now follows Qin Lang to sweep the snow from the roof every day and then transport the snow out of the yard.

After exercising every day, my strength has increased a lot, and I don’t feel tired when holding the bow and arrow anymore.

Now, apart from cooking and sweeping snow, they both stayed in Grandma Qin's house. When Qin Lang got bored, he would show Grandma Qin his knife skills.

A Tang sword was dancing with great vigor, and Grandma Qin would occasionally get distracted, as if she was missing something.

Starting from yesterday, Lu Qingqing also found a piece of wood and carved a circle on it as a target to practice archery.

She kept missing the target, which made Grandma Qin laugh continuously.

Lu Qingqing scratched her hair awkwardly, thinking of it as an alternative version of entertaining her parents with colorful clothes.

Following Qin Lang's instructions, after missing the target many times, he finally managed to shoot the arrow onto the wooden board.

Lu Qingqing was surprised at how good Qin Lang was. She had never seen him practice archery before, but once he picked up the bow and arrow, his accuracy was terrifying.

The Qin family is in harmony, but the Lu family is in chaos.

Ever since Erya was sold, Aunt Lu, who had always been taciturn and submissive, became gloomy.

Because she didn't give birth to a son, she was often bullied by Old Lady Lu and Mrs. Lu Li and she dared not say a word.

That day, Mrs. Lu Li made an excuse that she was not feeling well and wanted to push the lunch responsibility to Aunt Lu.

This time, Second Aunt Lu did not remain silent. She stared at Mrs. Lu with a gloomy face, stood up suddenly, and kicked the stool next to Mrs. Lu Li far away.

This action frightened Lu Li, and after she realized what was happening, she wanted to make a fuss.

Second Aunt Lu stared at Mrs. Lu Li and approached her step by step.

Seeing Second Aunt Lu like this, Mrs. Lu Li was so scared that she screamed and ran to Old Lady Lu's room, shouting as she ran.

"Mom, the second son's wife is crazy. She's crazy and wants to beat people."

Old Lady Lu listened to the eldest daughter-in-law's clamor and scolded impatiently:

"Old man, what are you yelling about? You can't make a fuss just by counting the days."

Mrs. Lu Li was so scared that she ran into Old Lady Lu's room. Seeing Second Aunt Lu walking towards her step by step, she was so scared that she hid behind Old Lady Lu.

"Mom, it's nothing. My sister-in-law said she wasn't feeling well and asked me to help her cook dinner. I haven't had the energy since I was sick last time, so I didn't agree."

After Second Aunt Lu came over, she glanced at Mrs. Lu Li and said to Old Mrs. Lu.

Old Lady Lu glared at the two of them.

"I think you guys are just too full and still have the energy to make a fuss!"

"From now on, just do your own thing and don't bother me. If you keep yelling, you'll go hungry for a day."

Old Mrs. Lu angrily drove the two out. They had not had enough to eat these days and were cold and hungry, and the old lady at home was making a fuss.

In fact, Mrs. Lu knew that it was the eldest daughter-in-law who was bullying her, but the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to her eldest grandson after all.

I would usually say a few nice words to coax her, and she would turn a blind eye.

As for the second family, you can’t get a single fart out of them even if you hit them with three sticks.

Whenever there is any dirty or tiring work that is difficult to order the two daughters-in-law to do, let her do it.

As for the little tricks between the sisters-in-law, Old Lady Lu didn't bother to care. She deserved to be bullied because she was stupid.

After being kicked out, Mrs. Lu Li didn't dare to stay with Aunt Lu and ran back to the house quickly.

After closing the door, Mrs. Lu Li leaned against the window to look outside, only to see Second Aunt Lu still staring at their room grimly. She was so scared that she quickly climbed onto the kang to talk to Lu Lao Da.
