In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Chapter 40 Wang Miaomiao wants to take the money box

"Replace mother!"

When everyone gathered around the table heard the four words Wang Miaomiao said to them, they were horrified!

They all understood this word.

But...how is this possible!

As long as grandparents are alive, the family will not be divided!

This is the foundation of order of this era, and no one can shake it.

Wang Miaomiao's action not only challenges the authority of the patriarch in the feudal era, but also challenges the bottom line of society!

Not to mention, she is a daughter.

A daughter who should have married and obeyed her husband! She wanted to seize her mother's position and power in the family while she was still alive and unmarried. This kind of thing... is unheard of!

Even in the hundreds of years of history of the Daliang Dynasty, this has absolutely never happened before!

"Ridiculous!" Wang Qingliu slammed the table and shouted!

He is a scholar!

What is respected is filial piety and hierarchy. What Wang Miaomiao proposed is tantamount to tearing off his fig leaf!

If his second sister succeeds in seizing power and others tell others about it, how will he face people?

"Not ridiculous!" Wang Miaomiao was also very tough and shouted at Wang Qingliu:

"If I were in power, you would at least have the possibility of passing the imperial examination."

"With Mother in power, you will be confined to Wangjia Village for the rest of your life, copying books and raising children. You can never go beyond Beiyang City!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Qingliu's hands began to tremble unconsciously.

Wang Miaomiao's words once again hit his unrealistic fantasy.

But with the way his mother is managing the family now, he might never be able to go to high school in this life!

Only if his second sister, who is in charge of the household, supports him in taking the imperial examination, can he hope to pass the imperial examination... and realize his lofty ambitions.

Wang Qingliu slowly closed his eyes and said no more.

This is considered as tacit approval of Wang Miaomiao's plan.

Seeing that he had persuaded his elder brother, Wang Miaomiao was overjoyed!

Because as long as the eldest brother is convinced, the other younger brothers and sisters will have no reason to object.

"Want to get married?" Wang Miaomiao's gaze swept over Wang Wu, Wang You, and Wang Liang again, and the three of them looked determined!

Nod heavily.

Then came the fourth one, Wang Qingliu. He didn't wait for Wang Miaomiao to speak and promised first:

"As long as I can be proud every time I visit my father-in-law's house and be treated as a guest of honor, Liu and I will support you unconditionally!"

Wang Miaomiao’s final gaze fell directly on Xiaoqi.

Although Xiao Qi didn't understand the situation, he nodded along.

"Then from today onwards."

"You must no longer listen to any orders or tasks assigned by your mother."

"Wait for me to say something."

"Do you understand?" Wang Miaomiao looked at everyone and asked with a sense of oppression.

Wang Wu looked at Wang Miaomiao's strong look and swallowed hard.

He actually saw the shadow of his mother in Wang Miaomiao!

The fear that reached his heart made him nod first.

Seeing that everyone agreed with her proposal, Wang Miaomiao changed her strong attitude and walked towards the kitchen.

Wait until the food comes out from the kitchen.

Everyone was stunned!

“Eat…eat!”

"Second sister, are you going to give us dry food tonight?"

"Mom, tomorrow..." Wang Wu was about to talk about his mother, but after feeling the murderous gaze of his second sister, he suddenly became dejected and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Wang Miaomiao held down the bowl of dry rice and spoke sharply to establish her authority:

"Remember, this is my home."

"From now on, I have the final say!"

"I understand, second sister." Wang Wu was frightened by her oppressive gaze and nodded repeatedly.

He was born with a fear of his mother and was also afraid of his second sister. Now that he felt the shadow of his mother in his second sister, he was even more frightened.

As the dry rice was handed to him, Wang Wu began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Shen Qian's corn rice was so rough that it hurt her teeth, but they thought it tasted like fragrant white rice!

After one bowl, Wang Miaomiao gave everyone a second bowl.

This would absolutely not happen when Shen Qian was in charge!

After all...all you need to do at night is sleep. Eating too much is a waste! This isn't just unique to their family, it's a characteristic of the entire era!

After finishing two large bowls of corn rice, everyone's faces showed an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

With a full stomach, I lay on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.

This sleep was the sweetest I have ever had.

So much so that I woke up late the next day.

When they got up from bed, Wang Shen had already entered the city!

At home, the stove is on!

Around seven o'clock, the corn rice was ready, and then the smell of cooking wafted out.

Neighbors passing by Wang Shen's house all looked sideways:

"Wang Shen is not living? Cooking so early in the morning?"

"Is there some happy event in her family? But I haven't heard of it!"

"Wow! Look, that's corn rice on his dining table, right? It's such a big bowl, big enough for each person to have two big bowls?"

"You're such a spendthrift! You haven't even digested the food you ate last night, and you're eating such a rich meal so early in the morning? Isn't that a waste of food?"

"... "

Shaking heads and sighing were everywhere.

But most of them are still indescribably envious.

Because everyone knew that Wang Shen and his party went into the mountains yesterday, found a lot of lotus roots, and made a lot of money by selling them.

Those who can eat breakfast so lavishly nowadays must be well-off.

At the dining table, the seven children of the Wang Shen family sat together, each with a different expression on their face.

The most excited ones were Wang Wu, Wang You and Wang Liang. They did the heaviest work every day in the family, and they knew only too well the feeling of a burning appetite when they were hungry!

If I hadn't had some dry food at noon, I would have collapsed long ago.

If I can have two bowls of rice every morning in the future, I will be full of energy to work that day!

Wang Miaomiao didn't sit down until a pot of fried lotus root was brought to the table.

Looking at the dishes and chopsticks placed in front of her, Wang Miaomiao started to divide the rice!

Before, she was distributing food on behalf of Shen Qian. What to cook and how much to distribute every day were actually all arranged by Shen Qian.

Today, the power of the family officially fell into her hands, and the situation was different when they distributed the food.

She looks like a mistress of a house!

As the corn and rice were distributed, Wang Miaomiao was about to speak when she heard the voice of her elder brother Wang Qingliu:

"Miao Miao~"

"Our family...eats this way. Will the corn be enough to last until next year?"

Facing the eldest brother's questioning and distrust, Wang Miaomiao's face suddenly fell, and he shouted at Wang Qingliu:

"Big brother!"

"The several hundred kilograms of food at home is certainly not enough, but don't forget."

"We still have over a thousand kilograms of grain to harvest from the autumn harvest! And the imperial court will certainly not sit idly by and watch grain prices soar."

"If the food at home is insufficient, we can use the money at home to buy food to survive."

"After what happened yesterday, I'm afraid mother still has fifty taels of silver in her hands!"

"You!" Wang Qingliu was stunned when he heard Wang Miaomiao's story!

At first, I agreed with it. After all, the imperial court was still there, Daliang was stable, and even if the south was not rich in grain, there was still old grain. When the grain arrived, the price would inevitably drop.

But later on, he actually heard that his second sister was so ambitious that she wanted to snatch the piggy bank from her mother!

It's really audacious!

There is no turning back!
