【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Li Chunsheng felt it, glanced casually at the snow, and then his eyes widened, "There really is rice!"

He saw only a few.

"what?"

The tribesmen were stunned, and those who reacted immediately lay on the ground to look for it, "There really is rice!"

The sound of surprise was like the sound of nature. Everyone squatted on the ground and picked up all the rice without missing a single grain.

After returning to the cave a mile away, no one had time to look at Yun Xi. Under the leadership of the clan leader, everyone put all the rice into the iron pot.

As everyone put the rice into the pot, the clan leader was stunned. "Ahem, why is there so much?"

Another old man said, "It looks like ten pounds. You can't finish it in one meal, right?"

"If we can't finish it, come and pick some. Eat half first and the other half tomorrow." The patriarch said.

The tribesmen obeyed mechanically. There was nothing they could do. They didn't have the energy to say anything because they were too hungry.

Soon, two large pots of rice soup were cooked. The clan leader took the initiative to serve Yun Xi a full bowl of rice. There was quite a bit of rice in it. The rest was divided up into one bowl for the adults and half a bowl for the children.

Yun Xi was lying in the smelly quilt, sweating. There was nothing she could do. She had been freezing in the snow for almost half a minute, and her original body had already died.

"Mom, please drink some rice soup."

Li Chunsheng carefully brought the porridge to Yun Xi. Yun Xi took a look at it, opened her mouth and drank half a bowl in one breath. The hot rice porridge went into her stomach, and her limbs were warmed up.

"I can't drink anymore. You drink it."

Li Chunsheng paused, looked at her doubtfully, and put the bowl aside. "If you can't finish it, heat it up tomorrow."

After saying that, he picked up his bowl, drank a few sips carefully, and immediately put it on the ground carefully. He could get another bowl tomorrow, and he could live a few more days. That was great.

Then he picked up his brother's bowl and slowly fed him, and finally his sister.

Yun Xi didn't have the energy to say anything. She was currently accepting the plot. She chose this because it was the most difficult. She would complete this first, and then complete the tasks with lower difficulty, in that order.

System: "Your name is Yunxi, you are nineteen years old this year. You married three years ago. You are the heir of Li Sanniu, the third branch of the Li family. Li Chunsheng is the son of Li Sanniu's first wife. Three years ago, the Kingdom of Jin was hit by natural disasters. First, you suffered drought, then floods, then locust plagues and war. Now you are experiencing a snowstorm in October. There will be another earthquake in April next year, and the disaster will be completely over."

Yun Xi was shocked. "After such a long time of disaster, wouldn't the land be littered with corpses and starving people?"

The system's voice was a little heavy. "Not only that, nine out of ten rooms are empty. And there's no way there's a body left. They've all been eaten."

Yun Xi was silent. It was too scary, too scary.

After a long while, she asked, "What's the original owner's situation now?"

"Li Chunsheng's childhood sweetheart, Li Meizi, has been reborn with memories of her past life. She made some preparations, but she died before the war in her previous life, so she naturally didn't know the disaster would last for four years. As a result, she still fell into the predicament of having no food to eat." The system continued: "At the beginning of the disaster, she begged the Li family to follow her into the mountains, but the mountains were also affected by the disaster. There was not much food left. They ate grass roots, tree bark, and Guanyin soil. Everyone ate so much that their stomachs were bloated and they couldn't defecate. Several of them suffocated to death. The original body was desperate and could not see the light, so she wanted to commit suicide."

"What about the original body's husband?"

"After running out of food in March this year, he tried to hunt a hungry tiger, but was defeated and eaten."

Yun Xi was silent...

I fell asleep while thinking about things, and when I opened my eyes it was the next day.

Yun Xi sat up and saw that everyone was drinking yesterday's porridge. No one paid any attention to her. She then observed her family. Li Chunsheng and Li Meizi were drinking rice porridge. Beside them lay two skinny little kids, her twins, a boy and a girl. They were just three years old this year and had been born only a few days when the disaster began...

Li Meizi licked her lips and looked at her mother-in-law, whispering, "Mom, are you hungry?"

Li Chunsheng also put down his bowl and asked, "Mom, how do you feel?"

"I feel much better and am not hungry. You guys eat and I'll feed the two children." Yun Xi refused weakly.

After waking up the two children, Yun Xi took their bowls. There was mostly rice soup left in them. It was very thin rice soup, but it was also the only food everyone had eaten in the past year.

Li Yanran and Li Xiaqing were so thin that only bones remained. They were also the only children under the age of five in the Li family. The others all died young. Thinking of this, Yun Xi's eyes darkened and she coaxed them, "Yanran, Xiaqing, eat some rice soup quickly."

The two children didn't cry or make a fuss, but drank the rice soup in small sips. Their stomachs had shrunk due to being hungry for too long. Yun Xi didn't dare to feed them too much, so she put the remaining one-third of the rice soup away.

Yanran licked her lips with an unsatisfied look and whispered, "Mom, I want to poop, but I can't."

System: "You have to dig it out, otherwise you will suffocate to death."

Yun Xi: Oh my God, why did you let her go through this?

Li Meizi quickly said, "Mom, I want to go poop too. My sister and I will help each other."

Li Chunsheng pursed his lips and said, "I'm with my brother."

Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "Go ahead, find a place sheltered from the wind."

Yun Xi took a look and saw that the cave they were in was very large and very humid. Fortunately, the drought had just ended, and it was winter now, which was dry and not bad to live in.

Their house is in the innermost corner of the cave, against the wall. There is no one behind them. In front of them is Li Daniu's family, and next to them is Li Erniu's family. Her parents-in-law are no longer alive, and the relationship between these three families is the closest in the clan.

However, at this time, the people from the two families drank the rice porridge and lay down to save energy.

Yun Xi couldn't sleep and was a little hungry, so she put on her coat and stood up. The others looked at her and said nothing, so she walked outside smoothly.

The mountains outside were covered in snow, a vast expanse of white. Yun Xi found a sheltered corner that no one often went to, took out some bread and ate to fill her stomach, then drank a bottle of mineral water, looked at her big belly, and tried hard to defecate, until half an hour later she finally defecate a little bit.

"The system is so difficult. Will I suffocate to death?"

System: "Drink more water. I have laxatives here. Would you like to buy some?"

"Buy some, otherwise I won't be able to poop by myself." Yun Xi wanted to cry but had no tears.

In the afternoon, the clan leader started to cook rice again. According to the same distribution as yesterday, Yun Xi got a lot more rice than others, but no one said anything. Firstly, there was no need to make a fuss, and secondly, the rice was discovered by Sanniu's wife, so it was reasonable to give her more.

Sitting on the mat, Yun Xi looked at the children's eager eyes, took out the rice she had left over from last night, divided it into four portions, and scooped it into their bowls.

Li Chunsheng was conflicted. "Mom, you eat too."

"I have another big bowl here, you guys can have some." Yun Xi pointed to another bowl full of rice soup.

Li Meizi lowered her head and said nothing, silently savoring the rice soup. Even before the disaster, she had never eaten such delicious rice, it was sweet and fragrant.
