Crossing the Book of Eighty Years: The Sweet Daughter-in-law of a Mountain Man

Chapter 11

Hu Xiuzhi had suffered a lifetime, and now she had lost the reputation of being a stepmother, so she just wanted her daughter to marry a better one.

"I asked your father to get a place for you to study in the town next semester. I will prepare a blind date for you. He is a big boss in business in the town."

Zhao Min frowned and said, "What's so good about being a big boss? Isn't it more fun to study now?"

Hu Xiuzhi has his own plan: "He has two brothers in his family. The older brother is doing business and is now making money. The younger brother is studying and his grades are astonishing. I heard that he has a 100% chance of getting into college. He is a literary star."

Zhao Min admires those who are well-educated and also wants to be good-looking.

Seeing that her daughter kept frowning, Hu Xiuzhi said: "Don't worry, mom can still hurt you. When the time comes, you should look at your brother first. If that doesn't work, look at your brother. The most important thing is that his dad has a higher position than your dad!"

……

Xia Ning cooked two dishes and a pot of porridge.

When placed on the table, it looked plain and ordinary. The white porridge had a faint aroma of rice, and the vegetables were fried crispy.

Zhou Junmin felt that his appetite was better today. After eating a bowl of porridge and a few green vegetables, he felt that his energy was clear.

Zhou Junmin: "You can fry another dish like this tonight."

Xia Ning nodded.

Zhou Junmin rolled up his sleeves and stacked the bowls on the table. Apparently he was going to wash the dishes?
Xia Ning: "I'll do it."

Zhou Junmin: "It's normal for you to cook and stir-fry while I wash the dishes."

Mainly because he felt able to move now and he wanted to try it.

Xia Ning didn't follow suit either.

No matter what, she didn't regard herself as a maid.

However, Zhou Junmin's movements were very slow, but this situation was much better than yesterday. Yesterday, he could not even move after eating. Today, he was able to wash two bowls and two plates under the control of willpower.

There was progress, but after doing this, he felt very tired and wanted to take a nap.Zhou Junmin asked Xia Ninger to wake him up after 10 minutes.

Xia Ning: "I know."

When Zhou Junmin went to take a nap, Xia Ning was in the yard.

Suddenly there were sparse sounds outside the fence.

Xia Ning looked over and found that Xia Xue and Xia Kai were bending down and hiding behind the fence. Through the leaves, they were calling her quietly: "Sister."

Xia Ning hurriedly walked out. The faces of the two people in front of him were blackened by the charcoal fire, and they were as dirty as mud cats.

She frowned and asked, "How did you two get yourselves into this?"

Xia Xue said: "Sister, we have to cook pig food and light the fire every day."

One is 10 years old and the other is 8 years old. Now these two children have to work non-stop at home!
Xia Ning thought of the plot in the book. The sister and brother had grown like little carrots because they had not been able to get the nutrients they needed for a long time. Moreover, Mrs. Xia did not allow them to study, so the younger brother Xia Kai could only herd cows. When Xue was only 15 years old, she was sold by the black-hearted grandmother to a man in his 30s. Later, he became a tool for giving birth to children, giving birth to 8 or [-] children in a row.

No one cared about Xia Kai. He could never marry a wife. Later, when he fell ill, he accidentally fell into the river and drowned.

Thinking of their tragic fate, Xia Ning felt that she should take over the two siblings.

Xia Ning waved and said, "Come in first, I'll get you something to eat."

Xia Kai opened his pocket like a treasure, and secretly hid a few sweet potatoes inside.

"Sister, my second sister and I found this in the field."

Large and small sweet potatoes, some not as big as a thumb, are left in the ground and have to be dug up to find them. It is also because of this that people are too lazy to pick them up, but the two children are very happy to pick them up. Share it with my eldest sister.

Thinking of the fate of the two of them in the future, Xia Ning felt a little sad when she looked at the smiles on their faces.
