Chapter 3 Cowardly Mother
Because of this smell, her original hunger was wiped out. It was still noon, so she stood in the middle of the yard and basked in the sun for a while, and her clothes were finally dry.

The family has really come to the point where they have to give her some food when mice come. Fortunately, many families have begun to harvest crops. There are also mushrooms and wild vegetables in some fields. She is going to dig some and eat them at night.

Although her family's fields were gone, they would not be restricted from going to other people's fields that had finished harvesting their crops, so Chen Xichun went out with a basket and a rusty sickle in hand.

Along the way, many people went out to harvest crops. When they saw Chen Xichun, some ignored him while others took the initiative to say hello.

Xichun casually cut some weeds, knitted a simple hat, and went out in the scorching sun.

There were only straw piles left in the village chief's field, and the water in the field had naturally dried up.

When Xichun got out of the field, she saw the green leaves of the mushrooms. People here didn't know whether it was because they didn't know that the mushrooms could be eaten, or because the portions were not large. Anyway, she had never seen anyone eating them.

She used a sickle to pull out the mushrooms bit by bit. During the process, there were still many grasshoppers jumping around.

Xichun directly caught these guys showing off their prowess in front of her, pierced the shells on their backs with weed poles, pierced several full skewers, and roasted them when she went home.

By the time she got home, the sun was setting and her stomach was starting to beat.

After finally cooking the mushrooms and roasting the grasshoppers, Xichun comforted himself that at least he had eaten meat.

"Xichun, Xichun, are you at home?" Outside the door, Xichun, who had just eaten, heard a familiar voice.

"Mom, why are you here?" Xichun did some mental preparation before opening the door and calling her "Mom."

Seeing Xichun's appearance, Mrs. Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. She heard that Xichun and her grandmother were fighting, but when she ran over, she found that no one was home.

"Xichun, how could you hit your grandma? She is your elder. If word spreads, your reputation will not be good."

Xichun thought that her mother had discovered her conscience and started to care about her, but as soon as she walked in, she started to accuse her, and Xichun was very angry.

"What does it mean that I bully my elders, and what does it mean that I have a bad reputation? She has bullied me like this, so why should I endure it?

Are you really willing to be bullied to death by her?Where were you when she ruined my reputation? Where were you when she threw shit on me? Why don't you know you feel sorry for me now and are you here to accuse me?

I will be bullied to death. What do I care about my reputation? I have sworn on my father’s memorial tablet that if anyone dares to bully me again in the future, I will fight back! "

"Xichun, it's all useless for my mother, but you are already 13 years old now. You can get married in another two years. You don't have to look at their eyes in the future. My mother did all this for you.

My mother has been having a hard time these past few years. She has not given birth to a son or a half daughter for her family. Your grandma scolds me every day. Your father, no, your uncle also sees me as impatient. It is not easy for my mother either. "

Hearing her daughter's anger, Ms. Wang began to cry again, detailing the hardships she had endured over the years.

"If you really feel that it's so sad to be in his house, then you can come back. From now on, we and I will live together, and I will make money, and our life will definitely become prosperous."

Xichun was impatient to hear her mention these things. She said this all the time, almost becoming Xianglin's wife.

"Hey, you girl, you are still young. You don't know how difficult life is. When your father died early, your mother took you with you. It was a difficult time for you to have a full meal and there was no land at home. I had no choice but to take care of you. Take you to marry your uncle.

He is actually a good person, and at least he agreed to let you go. Although life in his house is difficult, it is better than before when he didn't even have enough to eat.Xichun, listen to your mother, she will take you back to admit your mistake, and they will definitely forgive you. "

"That's enough, I won't go back. Mom, I can eat well by myself. You said his family is good, but over the years, except for the holidays, I have only been able to have a full meal a few times, let alone I went to his house and didn't do anything.

I have to get up before dawn in the morning and go home after dark at night, otherwise Mrs. Ma will scold us and we will be tortured both physically and mentally. I will not go back to those days.

If you are willing, stay here with me. If not, then go back, lest they have to wait for you to cook for a while. "

"Hey, why are you such a disobedient child? Then you stay here for two days. If you are hungry, come to mom and she will secretly give you something to eat."

"No, you should go back early." The words were half-hearted. Xichun didn't want to say another word to her, otherwise she was worried that she would really run away.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang thought of Xichun's father when he was still alive, and ran back crying.

"Then I'll go back. These are your clothes. Mom brought them to you. You put them on first."

It turned out that she had brought luggage with her. It seemed that her mother was not serious about her advice, but Xichun no longer wanted to worry about it.

After Wang left, Xichun moved a stool and sat down, looking at the stars in the sky and thinking about how to make money next.

It's already the beginning of autumn, so there should be a lot of money on the mountain.

In modern times, she was raised by her grandmother. Her parents were divorced and left her alone, so she lived in the countryside since she was a child. In order to pay for her studies, she followed the villagers to dig herbs, pick fruits, and farm in the mountains. So she is confident that she can live a good life.

Taoyuan Village is located in the middle of four mountains. The terrain is flat, and there is a river running through the middle. Therefore, every household has planted a lot of land, and life is not very difficult.

Green mountains and green waters, if placed in modern times, would be a proper scene in the Peach Blossom Spring. Farmhouses and rural tourism could be developed.

But for the people here, this green mountain is both a help and an obstacle for them to get out of the mountain.

However, in Chen Xichun's view, this is her starting point, but not the end. She will definitely live a good life and build a career of her own.

Life is always a matter of life. As long as you can't work to death, then work to death. From now on, work for yourself and won't be angry with the unscrupulous boss.

Early the next morning, she took her backpack and scythe and set off towards the mountain.

Chen Xichun remembered that walking in from this path, there were a lot of horse chestnuts growing in a place. They should be able to exchange money. Once the money was exchanged, they could buy some staple food.

Fortunately, people in the village didn't know herbal medicine, so she found this place based on her memory, and she found a lot of medicinal materials.

Even a good hoe at home was given to Ma's house by Wang, so she could only use this sickle to dig slowly.

After changing the place, she saw a lot of Pinellia ternata. She remembered that these things seemed to be found in places where people farmed, and she would dig more soon. It was all money.
