Chapter 1 Getting Married
"Er Niu, your parents are incapable and can't support this big family. After dinner, you can go to Lao Xu's house to live."

Mother Lin held the bowl, choking with sobs, sent cornmeal paste to Lin Wanwan's mouth.

Hearing this, Lin Dafu took a deep puff of the tobacco, perhaps the tobacco was too strong, he coughed violently, even coughing up tears.

The marks left by the years on his dark and simple face seemed to be deepened because of this cough.

The children sitting on the threshold also had tears in their eyes. They already understood and understood how the cornmeal came from. Their second sister was going to leave home just like the eldest sister.

"Mom, I won't let Second Sister go, I won't let Second Sister go..."

Lin Ruinian burst into tears suddenly. He was the youngest and couldn't bear too many partings.

Lin Ruifeng also felt uncomfortable, but he knew that there was no way to do it. The second sister had already fainted from hunger. If she was not sent to Xu's family, she might starve to death like Grandma Li in the village.

"Don't cry, don't disturb Second Sister's rest."

Lin Ruifeng covered Lin Ruinian's mouth, pulled him off the threshold, and sent him back to the room.

Lin Wanwan had a headache from the noise, she struggled to open her eyes, looked at the precarious adobe wall, and the skinny and dark woman beside her, the memory of the original owner instantly flooded her mind.

Now is the time when the famine broke out, the land is dry, the crops are not harvested, and there is a plague of locusts, and there is not even a leaf left on the tree.

Lao Lin's family had many children and had no food for a year, but it was difficult.

In order to keep the whole family alive, the eldest daughter was married off in exchange for food in the first year, but how can a bag of food last a whole spring?

Lin Wanwan hadn't eaten for three days in order to save money for her younger siblings, and she fainted from hunger.

Lin Dafu sat on the threshold and pondered for a long time, and he could only marry his second daughter, so that he would have something to eat so that he would not starve to death at home.

The bag of cornmeal given by the old Xu's family can also support the family for a while.

Lin Wanwan sighed. She could understand what the Lin family's parents did. It was better for her daughter to survive after marrying than starving to death at home.

It's a pity that the person Lin Wanwan married was disabled.

"Mom, I don't blame you."

Lin Wanwan looked at the skinny woman who was so hungry, her eyes flashed with distress.If there is no way, who would marry their daughter to a cripple?

She was born in the last days and had never met her own mother, but she felt a mother's love in this other world.

"Er Niu, you can blame Mom, it's because Mom has no ability to let you marry such a person."

Mother Lin felt even more guilty when she heard her daughter say this.

When they married their eldest daughter back then, they made a lot of choices, just to make the eldest daughter's life better.But now that the famine has been raging for a year, no one is willing to give food to buy a daughter-in-law. Only Old Xu's family has a bag of cornmeal.

If the old Xu's son hadn't been disabled, they would probably not have taken out this bag of cornmeal.

"Mom, I know you and Dad have tried our best."

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and took the bowl from Mother Lin's hand.

The cornmeal batter is not tasty, because it is coarse grains, and it has a bit of a throat.

But in this era of abnormal food shortage, it is already very good food to eat in your mouth to fill your stomach.

"Er Niu, after drinking this bowl of cornmeal paste, I have to send you to Xu's house."

Mother Lin wiped her tears with her cuff, and took off the silver bracelet on her wrist.
