After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 159 The Best Parents of That Era (2)
Mi Ruolan slowly woke up, her head still a little dizzy.
However, she didn't observe carefully; she was too tired, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she drifted off to sleep again.
When she opened her eyes again and looked at the dilapidated house in front of her, it seemed somewhat familiar.
She looked left and right, pondered for a long time, and then suddenly remembered that this was the place where she and her husband lived when her husband was still alive.
After the man left, their second wife was separated from the family, and she never came to this house again.
The female lead, Mi Ruolan, used to be called Mi Ruonan. This name wasn't chosen because it had any auspicious meaning; it was just something Mi's father casually mentioned.
"If only it were a boy," and so they named him Ruonan.
After she married into the Xie family, her husband changed her name to Ruolan when he was signing her visa.
Her husband was the second son in the Xie family, and his name was Xie Shuisheng.
Their family lives in a small mountain village called Qinglin Village in the suburbs of Nanzhou City. According to the village elders, the village was named because there are many old forests on the mountain.
Mirolan carefully recalled every detail of her life. It seemed that many things changed when she was five months pregnant with her youngest son.
In her past life, when she was about to give birth, her mother-in-law stopped her from taking her to the hospital. Fortunately, Xie Shuisheng argued with her mother, making promises and pleading, and finally Xie's mother gave him the money so that he could take Mi Ruolan to the hospital as soon as possible.
Upon hearing the news, Xie Shuisheng rushed back in a panic. Instead of paying attention to Mi Ruolan, he grabbed Xie Tiansheng, the eldest son of the Xie family, and gave him a good beating. His fierce appearance startled everyone present.
Even the elderly couple from the Xie family were no exception.
While hitting Jie Tiansheng, Jie Shuisheng roared angrily, "My wife was pushed down by your wife, and instead of taking her to the hospital in time, you're just standing here making things worse. If anything happens to my wife, I won't live either, and none of you will live either. If we're going to die, we'll all die together. I'm going to beat this culprit man to death first."
The more he talked, the harder he hit, like he'd gone mad.
Sister-in-law Jie felt sorry for her husband and went to break up the fight, but she was slapped twice in the process.
Old Lady Jie felt sorry for her eldest son, so she gritted her teeth and took out five yuan to send Mi Ruolan to the hospital, but that little money was far from enough.
Xie Shuisheng kept hitting her, so Xie's mother kept raising the price until she finally gave him twenty. Only then did Xie Shuisheng pick up his wife and drive his oxcart towards the city hospital.
Of course, the difficult childbirth in the past life was real, but the difficult childbirth in this life is fake.
It was Xie Shuisheng who taught Mi Ruolan to stage an accident with Xie Dasao when she was about to give birth, which led to the drama of the difficult childbirth.
Since she became pregnant with her youngest son, Jie Shuisheng has changed so much, he's practically a different person. He went from being as happy as a child when he first learned that Mi Ruolan was pregnant, to later disliking the child in her belly.
This initially made Mi Ruolan very depressed. The man explained that he didn't like Mi Ruolan suffering during childbirth and that he didn't plan to have any more children after this one. Only then did Mi Ruolan cheer up.
Mi Ruolan, who had just given birth, took the opportunity to slack off under the guise of recuperating. Over the course of the year, she was well-fed and plump by Jie Shuisheng.
Looking at her slightly chubby figure, and then thinking back to how pale, thin, and bony she used to be, Mi Ruolan felt a surge of happiness.
After all, it was only 1955, and it was the dead of winter. The weather was freezing, and every household was starving. When Mi Ruolan, who was a little chubby, went out, she was quite conspicuous.
She's faking illness right now, because she married into the Xie family and gave birth to twins—two sons and a daughter—in her first pregnancy.
She injured her body and it took her almost three years to recover before she became pregnant with her second child, which was her son, born last year.
She pretended to be sick at home and rarely went out. She was supposed to get better in the second half of the year and be able to help ease the burden on her family.
If I can't do other heavy work, I can still cut pig feed and cook, right?
But her husband disagreed, insisting that she stay sick, saying that there were too many people in the family and they didn't need her, a "sick person," to join in the fun.
However, she has been ill for a long time, which has already made her sisters-in-law unhappy.
Sure enough, there came the sounds of banging and clanging from the doorway, occasionally mixed with the conversation between Sister-in-law Xie and Xie Linsheng's wife from the third branch of the Xie family.
Sister-in-law Xie said sourly, "Your second sister-in-law is so lucky to have a baby!"
Li Xiaocao, the third wife of the Xie family, explained in a pretentious manner, "Second sister-in-law gave birth to three big, healthy boys for our Xie family. She is a great contributor and deserves to rest more."
While working, Sister-in-law Xie, without any regard for the weight, said in a bad tone, "Hmph... I just can't stand her. She's been resting for too long. Even the most serious illness should be cured in a year or two. Do you think my second sister-in-law is faking it?"
Li Xiaocao looked at Sister-in-law Xie, opened her mouth as if to say something but didn't, and finally just sighed softly.
Li Xiaocao was naturally unhappy, but she had little status in the Xie family and dared not stand out.
All three of them were wives of the Xie family. Xie's eldest sister-in-law was the eldest son's wife, and the two elderly people would have to rely on the eldest son's family for their old age. So even if she caused trouble at home, the two elderly people would just pretend not to see it.
The second sister-in-law was just like her. Although she gave birth to the first grandson for the Xie family, she was always timid and had no status.
But now, because the two are an older man and a younger woman, the second brother dotes on his second sister-in-law like a treasure, afraid that she will suffer even the slightest grievance in this family, and protects her in every way.
As the third wife, she has to be mindful of others' opinions in this family, and her own husband doesn't know how to be considerate.
She had to be extremely careful in everything she said and did in this family.
The two were still chattering away when Old Lady Xie saw them and snorted. Hearing their mother-in-law's voice, the two quickly finished their chores and went to the kitchen to cook.
The Xie family's courtyard fell silent again.
Today, the three members of the Xie family—mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and son—just returned from their cornfield. They went to cut down and burn the corn stalks that hadn't been cleared after the autumn harvest, so the ashes could fertilize the soil.
As for the fertile and expansive land, by the end of the autumn harvest, the Xie family had worked together to clear away and burn the weeds, and loosen the soil. This prepared land was ready to be planted with vegetable seeds and potatoes.
As for those less fertile, marginal areas, they were simply left unattended after the autumn harvest, waiting for the women in the family to tidy them up when they had time in winter.
Since the establishment of the new government, the whole country has been carrying out the "land reform" campaign. After 1950, the new government carried out land reform, and the confiscated land was distributed to those farmers who had little or no land.
Because of their large family, the Xie family was also allocated several dozen acres of land.
Nanzhou City is located in the south and has a subtropical monsoon climate.
The terrain here is diverse, with four distinct seasons: warm winters, cool summers, frequent rain, and humid air.
Even in the dead of winter, you can grow vegetables like potatoes, cabbage, and peppers. There are also many wild vegetables on the mountain that pigs and people can eat.
Here, as long as people are diligent and there is no major famine, there will absolutely be no starvation.
