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

Mrs. Wang took care of her youngest son and was busy for most of the night without sleeping. She finally saw her son's fever subside.

I had just fallen asleep when I was woken up by my eldest son.

Wang Deben was so hungry that he felt acid in his stomach. He didn't dare to get angry at his father, so he went to his mother.

Mrs. Wang got up helplessly and listened to her son clamoring for something delicious to eat. He was determined not to eat the pig food like yesterday.

Seeing that her husband had no reaction, Wang Po, who was afraid of being beaten, had to take out her newest coat from the inner room and walked next door.

With a smile on my face, I finally exchanged half a pound of white flour from my neighbor.

When Wang Deben saw that he had white flour, he asked his mother to make pancakes for him.

When Wang Kangshi saw the white flour, he also swallowed his saliva.

Wang Deben had just baked a pancake and, not caring about the heat, grabbed it in his hand and was about to eat it when he saw his father coming out of the house.

The fear he had developed since childhood forced him to endure the discomfort in his stomach and hand the pancake to his father.

Watching his father eating the pancake with big mouthfuls, Wang Deben kept swallowing his saliva with greed.

As soon as the second pancake changed color, he grabbed it and took a big bite, not caring whether it was cooked or not.

It was so hot that I grimaced, but I still managed to finish the pancake in just a few bites.

Seeing that there was only one pancake left, Wang Deben wanted to eat more, but then he heard his father speak,

"Deben, your brother hasn't eaten yet. He's badly injured. We have to save some for him."

After hearing this, Wang Deben returned to the house unwillingly.

After Wang Po finished baking the pancake, she went into the house and woke up her youngest son.

When Wang Dezhe saw the white flour pancake, he snatched it away and stuffed it into his mouth.

The wound on his chest was immediately pulled, causing him to grimace in pain, but this did not prevent him from eating the biscuit.

It has been a long time since I last ate white flour. I only eat coarse grains every day, and my throat hurts from diarrhea.

Recently, the whole grains at home have run out, so he started adding wild vegetables to the whole grains. The vegetables have a bitter and astringent taste, which makes him uncomfortable to eat.

Mrs. Wang watched her youngest son eat the pancakes with big mouthfuls. She was so greedy that she kept swallowing her saliva and inhaling the fragrance of the white flour pancakes.

Seeing that his son was choking after eating, he hurried to get him some water to drink.

Then he went to the kitchen and looked at the only half bag of coarse grains left in the house. He carefully scooped out some, cut a handful of dried vegetables, and poured them all into the pot.

After the pot was boiled, he quickly turned off the fire at the bottom of the pot.

There is not much firewood left at home, so we have to save it.

In the inner room, the youngest son, Wang Dezhe, woke up and felt the pain in his body. He said to his father with a sinister look on his face:

"Dad, the Qin family dared to hurt me like this, I absolutely cannot forgive them."

"The last time I went in, I saw his woodshed was full of firewood. I couldn't find the entrance to the cellar in the yard, so it must be hidden in the house."

"That idiot boy from the Qin family is tall and strong, so his family must have no shortage of food. That idiot boy is really strong. If he had hit me a little higher, I would have been dead."

Wang Kangshi looked at his youngest son's pale face and felt very distressed. He gritted his teeth and said:

"We can't just let it go like this. We have to get back at him. Before, I just wanted to get some food, but this time, I won't let his family stay."

Speaking of this, look at the two sons lying on the kang,

"You should take good care of your injuries during this period, especially the second brother, who is seriously injured."

"The knife used by the Qin family kid is too sharp, and that little girl can even use an arrow. I have to think of a way."

After thinking for a while, Wang Kangshi still felt that it would not be helpful for the three of them to go there again, and they still had to find someone.

Even if we have to divide some of the Qin family's things, we have to get rid of those three people.

Thinking of this, I started to think about who in the village could do this together.

Among the people they often played together, Lu Tianfu was the number one. He was almost always there every time they went out to play, but he had the old village chief to support his family, so they could still make ends meet.

Besides, that kid is very timid and probably wouldn't dare to do this.

Among the remaining people, most of them have families, parents and brothers, and are easy to be exposed.

Suddenly, Wang Kangshi thought of the two bachelors in the village, brothers Lu Xingwang and Lu Xingshun.

These two men lost their parents early, were aggressive and aggressive, and few people in the village interacted with them.

Moreover, the two brothers had worked in the county casino for a while and were quite skilled.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a good idea. Wang Kangshi immediately went out and walked towards Brother Lu Xingwang's house.

The home of the Lu Xingwang brothers is a dilapidated thatched hut with two rooms in total.

The fence at the entrance of the yard is not high, and the snow on the ground is piled very high. It is obvious that it has not been cleaned properly.

The gate to the yard was just an ordinary broken wooden door, and it wasn't even closed tightly.

Wang Kangshi shouted twice in the yard, and then a man responded.

After a while, a tall man came out, tightening his tattered cotton coat.

"Hey, Brother Wang, what brings you here? You can't go to the county to play now."

Lu Xingwang scratched his greasy hair and gave a slightly obscene smile.

Wang Kangshi saw this and quickly took two steps closer to him and said:

"Brother Lu, the weather is freezing cold, so I don't have the energy to think about that. Besides, our family is almost out of food, so how can we afford to spend money on prostitutes? This time, I came here to tell you about a good fortune."

As they spoke, the two of them entered the house. There was an unpleasant smell in the dimly lit room.

The kitchen is right after entering the house, and on the stove are bowls of frozen leftover rice.

The pot was uncovered and contained frozen porridge.

There wasn't much firewood left in the house, and it was scattered all over the place.

After Wang Kangshi entered the house, he wrinkled his nose unconsciously, thinking that he still needed a wife at home.

When they were young, the three of them, who were of the same age, all went to see a girl from the neighboring village. The girl was famous for her big butt and good fertility.

The two brothers were better looking than she was, and the girl had her eye on them. Unfortunately, their families were too poor, and the girl's parents did not agree.

Even if they are more capable and earn more money than me, now look at it, their lives are not as good as mine.

Although his wife is not very good-looking, she can do all the housework and has given him two sons.

Thinking of this, Wang Kangshi straightened his back unconsciously.

Lu Xingshun, who was in the room, heard someone coming in and put on a torn cotton coat with the cotton wool showing through.

When he saw that it was Wang Kang, he didn't even bother to get off the kang, but just sat lazily leaning against the wall.

Wang Kangshi explained the situation of the Qin family, emphasizing that the Qin family had sufficient food.

Seeing that the two of them were not interested, he talked about how Mr. Qin was able to make money in the past few years and must have saved a lot of wealth.

Hearing this, the two brothers Lu Xingwang also became interested, as his family still had some food.

The two were in the county during the drought, and when they saw the chaos starting, they stockpiled some food.

The only thing they lacked was money, so they worked as thugs in a casino and knew the casino's tricks.

They don't gamble but love to visit brothels. Over the years, the two brothers have spent most of the money they earned outside on this.

This time, after listening to Wang Kangshi's words, the two brothers also became interested.

Originally, they thought that the two brothers plus the three Wang family members, five of them, would have no problem dealing with the three old and weak Qin family members.

But I heard that the Wang family, father and son, had gone there once but were beaten back, and both brothers were injured.

Hearing this, Lu Xingwang cursed Wang Kangshi in his heart. If his two sons hadn't been injured, this old fox probably wouldn't have come looking for us brothers.

Even though he thought so, he still agreed to it. He had been holding it in for the whole winter, and when spring came, he would definitely go find Xiao Taohong to vent his anger.

That woman only cares about money. She won't be seen if there is not enough money. Thinking of this, Lu Xingwang became angry again.
