Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

"Doctor, please take a look at my mother too. She hasn't eaten for three days, just like us. She slept for a day and a night and just woke up." Sister Shi's words brought everyone's attention back to Ru Xiu's lifeless face. It seemed the spiritual spring water's effects weren't yet so rapid; her broken body couldn't be repaired overnight. Truly, a mother's strength is boundless! Even on her deathbed, she held onto her last breath for her child and her family.

"I have a few pancakes here, Xiu Niang, you all should share them quickly." Liu Niang, who had been hesitating for a long time with food in her hands, ran out from the crowd and stuffed a few vegetable pancakes into Ru Xiu's hands. With tears streaming down her face, she felt sorry for her good sister. If she hadn't gone back to her parents' home for two days, she could have helped her earlier.

Ru Xiu didn't refuse this timely help. It was probably true that she hadn't eaten for three days, otherwise the original owner wouldn't have died. So, preserving her life was the most important thing, because only with life can there be a future.

"A sickly woman who won't do any work, yet still wants to eat? I think you've made me proud." Watching Ruxiu and the children politely thank her and wolf down the few vegetable pancakes they had shared, the villagers felt a pang of pain in their hearts. Jiang, however, glared fiercely at Liu Niang, her face full of bitterness, resenting that she had lost face.

The vegetable pancakes were very rough and hard to swallow, but Ruxiu still chewed them slowly and swallowed them despite the pain in her throat. Seeing Ge'er choking and her face turning red, an auntie rushed to the kitchen and brought them half a spoonful of cold water.

Everyone drank several mouthfuls of cold water before they felt better.

"Long-term malnutrition has allowed typhoid fever to penetrate deep into the bones. If you don't take good care of yourself, it will be difficult to save you! I'll prescribe some medicine, but you must eat well and dress warmly, otherwise even a god can't save you." Doctor Yao was telling the truth; the original owner had died from typhoid fever and starvation.

"Grandma, my eldest brother and grandfather do all the work in the fields. Mom cooks every day, goes up the mountain to chop firewood and dig wild vegetables, and Le Ge and I do all the laundry, feeding the chickens and pigs. If we can't even eat after all that, are you telling us to die?" With so many people present, Sister Shi didn't flinch. If she didn't tell the truth, there would be no way out. For her mother, for her eldest brother, for her younger siblings, she had to fight for it no matter what. Sister Shi didn't notice anything different about her mother today; she just felt that her mother's actions all stemmed from her love for her children, so she had to seize the opportunity.

“Ershi has been away from home for the past few years. We’ve gotten used to his mother’s beatings and starvation. We’re just worried that this kind of behavior will affect the village. There are quite a few young men in the village who haven’t gotten married yet.” Ruxiu knew the principle of striking at the heart of the matter. Human nature is selfish, just to varying degrees. It’s only when it involves everyone’s interests that it’s easy to resonate with others.

Although there are many families in the village who mistreat their children and wives, no one would go three days without food or medical treatment. Jiang has really angered everyone. If word gets out, who would dare to marry their daughter to Tangjia Village?

“Such a vicious person should be driven out, so as not to ruin the reputation of our village.”

“If the village chief and clan head don’t care, we won’t stand for it.” The biggest dissenting voices were definitely from the village women and aunties.

"If they cause my dog ​​to be unable to get married, I'll throw manure at their house." Every village has a few tough guys; they'll bite back if their interests are threatened.

"Jiang and Zhang, quickly make some food for the second branch of the family. People can starve to death these days. You don't need to stay in Tangjia Village anymore." The clan chief was truly angry. He had just seen how hungry Ruxiu's children were, and then he saw how fat Jiang and Zhang were, their features squeezed together. He was furious.

Zhang was adept at reading people's expressions. She glanced at Tang Laoqi, then at Jiang, and shrank back to the kitchen. She dared not offend the village chief or clan head. Tang Dashi had disliked her for years, flirting with the widows in town. Jiang had only tried to smooth things over, and if it weren't for the fact that she had given birth to two sons, she probably would have been divorced.

"If you're going to die, die already. You're wasting my two handfuls of rice." Jiang was still cursing, but she didn't dare stop Zhang from cooking porridge. Zhang understood what she meant and planned to use a handful of brown rice with two spoonfuls of water. If she added too much, Jiang would skin her alive.

Seeing that the problem was being solved, Tang Zijie and several young men from the village carefully carried Brother Xi to the bed. Tang Zijie then took Doctor Tao back home, and the villagers who had been watching also decided to disperse.

"Village chief, clan chief, please wait a moment. Ruxiu has another request." The village chief and clan chief, who had already gotten off their stools, sat back down.

How could Ruxiu possibly give up so easily? This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the real show had only just begun! For the sake of the original owner, for the sake of the child, and for the sake of herself and her family, Ruxiu had to keep going, and she was determined to play the role of an excellent mother from ancient times.

Ru Xiu doesn't cause trouble in modern times, but she's not one to back down either. How could she let others bully her like that? She has no memory of that dead husband, but she doesn't intend to let his disgusting parents and uncle and aunt get away with it. She'll beat them to a pulp.

"Tan, what kind of trouble are you causing now?" Jiang was so angry that she wanted to hit him with a broom. The pain of losing twenty taels of silver had not yet subsided, and she had nowhere to vent her anger! Tang Laoqi also had a stern face.

"Second Aunt, that's enough. Don't disturb the peace of the whole family." Zhang Shi was short and plump, with eyes that were barely open. She had been hiding like a turtle, but now that the porridge was cooked, she started to peek out. She was furious that the second branch of the family had received twenty taels of silver, thinking that everything should have belonged to the eldest branch.

The villagers, looking like they hadn't had enough melons, continued to surround the area tightly.

"Sister Shi, go and bring out the porridge that Auntie cooked."
