Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

Because of his limited physical strength, Cheng Yuntao walked and stopped along the way, and even stopped to roast two potatoes to eat. Finally, he arrived near the bully Xu's house before sunset.

The Xu family is indeed one of the richest families in the neighboring village. Even their courtyard is several times bigger than that of other families, and the gate looks more imposing.

However, every brick and tile here was obtained by oppressing and plundering others, and is soaked with blood and sweat.

Because she was afraid of alerting the enemy, Cheng Yuntao took advantage of the cover of the grass and climbed up a big tree with lush branches and leaves beside the Xu family's house, crouching down and looking down.

He planned to inquire about the situation briefly, but unexpectedly, he saw a scene that broke his heart.

Cheng Yueli, who was only eight years old and thin, was kneeling on the ground, supporting herself with her slender arms. She was swaying and almost fell down several times, while the fat Xu family idiot was sitting astride her arched back, shouting excitedly.

"Gee! Run! Run fast, big horse!"

"Run! If you don't move, I'll call my mother and have her beat you to death!"

Xu Tianci, the idiot boy of the Xu family, is already fifteen years old this year, but the way he speaks and behaves is no different from a naughty child of seven or eight years old.

Upon hearing that she was going to be beaten, Cheng Yueli shrank back in fear and tried to crawl forward, but the terrible weight on her back was like a Five Finger Mountain, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

"Tianci, I...I really can't climb anymore. Can you please come down? I'll play other games with you."

Cheng Yueli sobbed softly, and her tears fell to the ground like a broken pearl necklace, spreading into spots of water that soaked the soil.

"Why are you crying? I'm so tired of hearing you cry! I'm a general, I should ride a big horse. How can you be so useless that you can't even act like a horse properly?"

Because his request was not met in time, Xu Tianci violently grabbed Cheng Yueli's hair and tore it hard like a horse's reins.

The hair pulled on her scalp, forcing Cheng Yueli to raise her head and assume an extremely painful and twisted posture.

"Tianci, please let go, my head hurts so much, I beg you, please relax!"

The more pain Cheng Yueli suffered, the more excited Xu Tianci's expression became. He pulled Cheng Yueli's hair repeatedly, as if he had discovered something interesting.

Every time she breathed a sigh of relief, he would kick her into an even more painful hell. After several rounds of torture, Cheng Yueli didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy, and fell to the ground dying.

Seeing Cheng Yueli lying there motionless, Xu Tianci stood up unhappily, kicked Cheng Yueli hard in the abdomen, and said loudly with his hands on his hips.

"My mother said, you are my child bride, you must serve me forever. You must do whatever I ask you to do!"

"If you make me unhappy, you will be severely punished. Now I am tired of beating you. I will call my mother to teach you a lesson."

"Mother, please come quickly! She's not listening!"

Xu's mother, Wu Yanqiu, was cooking in the kitchen. She had heard the noise in the yard a long time ago, but she stayed out of it and didn't care about Cheng Yueli's life or death at all.

In her opinion, Cheng Yueli was just a girl picked up for nothing, and her life was worthless. Besides, the children's quarrels would not cause any big trouble, and nothing could be more important than the happiness of her beloved son.

It was not until she heard Xu Tianci calling her that she put down the work in her hands, slowly walked out the door and took a look.

"Okay, Tianci, stop playing and go wash your hands. It's almost time for dinner. Mommy cooked something delicious for you at noon."

"Don't bother this damn girl anymore. Mother still needs her to work. If you kill her, who will serve you in the future?"

Wu Yanqiu smiled lovingly at Xu Tianci, her face gentle, but the words she spoke were as cold as a poisonous snake.

When he passed by Cheng Yueli, he kicked her.

"Stop playing dead and get up quickly. There's still a lot of work to do."

"If I find you still wasting time here later, don't blame me for using tongs to pinch your tender skin!"

Cheng Yueli didn't dare to resist, she could only try to sit up and nodded silently.

After Xu Tianci and his mother turned and left, Cheng Yueli stumbled to her feet and wordlessly tidied up her messy hair.

Cheng Yuntao hid in the tree and saw everything clearly. She wished she could get rid of all the people in the Xu family right now to vent her hatred.

"Xiao Li, wait for your sister to rescue you!"

Cheng Yuntao looked at the thin figure standing in the yard with an apologetic look, climbed down the tree trunk, then walked around the house and came to the kitchen window.

It was almost time for dinner, and steam was coming out of the Xu family's steamer. Thanks to Xu Tianci, Wu Yanqiu was being pestered by him, and Cheng Yuntao was able to take advantage of this gap to come in and take action.

When he opened the steamer, he saw a plate of red cakes inside. Cheng Yuntao crushed the rhubarb that he had picked in advance and spread it evenly on the bottom of the red cakes. After making sure that each one was evenly absorbed, he quickly left the kitchen.

Although high temperature can slightly decompose some of the toxins in the rhubarb, it cannot completely remove them. Cheng Yuntao did not expect that this dose could completely kill the Xu family.

She just wanted to use the properties of the rhubarb to make the Xu family feel nauseous and vomit, have abdominal pain and diarrhea, or feel dizzy and have headaches.

Trace amounts are less likely to be detected. Perhaps the Xu family would simply think that they were too tired from working and rest early. When they let down their guard, that would be the time for Cheng Yuntao to take action.

After evacuating the kitchen, Cheng Yuntao returned to the big tree where she had originally been, hid there, and observed every move of the Xu family.

Sure enough, not long after, the plate of red cakes was served on the dining table. Everyone in the Xu family, young and old, male or female, got one, except Cheng Yueli.

Cheng Yueli stood on the steps outside, looking at the food on the table longingly, swallowing her saliva from time to time.

"What are you looking at? You have to stand by and serve us while we eat. Only after we finish eating can you have the leftovers."

"If you keep looking around, I'll beat you up!"

After being scolded, Cheng Yueli no longer dared to look inside. She lowered her head like a quail.

Cheng Yuntao had already anticipated this. Naturally, the Xu family would not be willing to give such a good thing to Cheng Yueli, so she didn't have to worry about accidentally hurting her sister.

Not long after eating the red glutinous rice cakes, some of the Xu family members began to feel dizzy and weak.

"Oh, why are you so tired today? I'm going back to sleep first."

"Me too. My head is dizzy. I guess I need to take a day off tomorrow."

Cheng Yuntao sneered from the tree. "Tomorrow? When you wake up tomorrow, there will be an even bigger surprise waiting for you!"
