Chapter 1 "Awakening"

In mid-July, the double harvest season began in full swing, and all production teams started working in a hurry.

The sun set in the west, and the golden afterglow illuminated most of the mountain. As the setting sun was about to sink into the west, the members of the Harvest Brigade finished their work and went home.

Along the way, a group of people were talking about gossip about the team, among which Lin Zhao, the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family, was talked about the most.

"Hey, the third daughter-in-law of the old Gu family is not working, and she is the one who lives the most comfortable life in the whole brigade!" The speaker was an aunt with dark and rough skin. Her rough short hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead wetly. Her body smelled of sweat.

The other woman was also sweating profusely. She snorted coldly, her words expressing deep dissatisfaction with the third daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Those who didn't know her would have thought she was her daughter-in-law: "The eldest daughter-in-law looks alluring and charming, but she doesn't look like a good person. She's lazy and cowardly. I've seen that a long time ago."

"Oh? You saw it again."

Someone caught up with them from behind, glanced at them sideways, and said with emotion: "You've said so much, but it's hard to say that they will give birth."

The women were speechless.

Being able to have children was a huge plus in the countryside in the 1960s!!
After everyone left, a skinny woman with a dull expression came out. She stood there for a long time without moving. After a long while, she said quietly, "I wish I could give birth like this..."

In the village, stray dogs were running around barking, accompanied by the chattering of children and the occasional loud scolding of women, making a lot of noise.

Wang Chunhua went out with a basin of dirty water and poured it into the small vegetable patch at the door. Just as she was about to turn around and go home, she saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen running out of the mud house next door.

The girl looked extremely flustered. When she saw someone at the door, her face froze, her eyes avoided, and then she lowered her head and ran away.

Wang Chunhua looked puzzled. What was wrong?

Just then I turned my head and heard a child's crying voice coming from next door: "Mom!"

"Someone! Help! My mother has fainted!!"

Gu Dazai's voice was so loud and sharp that it startled Erzai who was picking cabbages in the vegetable garden in the backyard.

Gu Erzai's legs flapped as fast as he could as he rushed over. He saw his mother lying on the ground with a big bump on her forehead. He and his brother hurriedly used their skinny little arms to support her, but they were too thin and too small to help her up. His voice was filled with anxiety: "Brother, what happened to Mom?"

"Mom was pushed down by my aunt." The eldest boy choked and his little body trembled.

Seeing that Lin Zhao hadn't woken up for a long time, five-year-old Gu Dazai calmed down and said to his brother, "Erzai, go find milk."

At the door, Wang Chunhua heard the sound, quickly put down the basin, wiped her hands on her thickly patched pants, and hurried into the next room.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the eldest son say, "Oh, what a smart kid!"

When the eldest child saw an adult coming, he immediately became more confident and said anxiously, "Aunt, please look at my mother. My mother was pushed down by my aunt!"

Wang Chunhua saw the large bump on Lin Zhao's head and cried out, "Why is it so swollen? Lying on the ground is not a good idea. We need to help your mother get to the bed first."

"Auntie, I'm with you." The eldest son was supporting his mother on the other side.

Seeing that he was not in trouble, Erzai glanced at the broken bowl and egg custard residue on the ground, his eyes swirling, and he ran out of the house, shouting loudly as he ran: "Grandpa, Grandma, my mother was knocked unconscious by my aunt..."

It was just the time when people were getting off work, and the streets were full of people. Gu Erzai had a loud voice and howled miserably, which attracted the attention of passers-by. The villagers couldn't help but stop to look at him.

Wow, the Cheng Huai family is at odds with the sister-in-law again? It sounds like they're even using their strength this time!

The Gu family was also in the group leaving work, more than a dozen of them. They were exhausted after a long day and just wanted to go home and eat, but then they heard a familiar howl...

Mother Gu, who was walking in front, suddenly changed her expression, thinking that someone had bullied her precious second grandson, and she walked over quickly, carrying a big hoe.

Before anyone arrived, a loud voice came: "Second cub, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me!"

Erzai wiped his tears, looked at his grandmother with red eyes, and said aggrievedly: "It was my aunt, my aunt bullied my mother and pushed her down. My mother has a bump on her head as big as a bowl, no, as big as a basin, and she hasn't woken up yet. Grandma, I want my mother, I want my mother... wuwuwu..."

Being favored, they felt fearless. Gu Erzai knew that his mother loved them, and the birds on the branches howled on the spot and fled from this dangerous place.

Among the crowd of onlookers, someone burst out laughing.

Facing Erzai's angry gaze, the man touched the tip of his nose and said mischievously, "Erzai, do you know how big a basin-sized bag is?"

"Go away, what's your business!" Mother Gu glared at the person who spoke.

Thinking about what Erzai said, Mother Gu's face turned ugly and she was tense all over.

Why did that damn girl go to the third room again?!

Why bother the third brother’s wife when you have nothing to do!

Mother Gu was in a depressed mood and didn't even have time to ask what was going on. She hurried to the third room of the Gu family.

Father Gu wiped his grandson's tears and asked Erzai what happened.

Erzai was a clever boy with good observation skills. Thinking of the broken bowls where his mother fell, he guessed most of what had happened.

She said angrily: "The bad girl stole my family's egg custard and pushed my mother."

The people from the Harvest Brigade looked strange.

Pushing your own sister-in-law just for a bowl of egg custard... ?
Even their three-year-old child couldn't do such a thing.

"..."

Father Gu couldn't help but tremble.

Family scandals should not be made public.

Seeing Erzai’s rabbit-like eyes, I couldn’t bear to say anything more.

Forget it, Xing'er has done something wrong herself, so she should bear the consequences herself!

It's not that he and her mother didn't teach her, but the girl always had reasons to refute.

The two sisters-in-law of the Gu family looked at each other with bitter smiles. Considering the third daughter-in-law's unreasonable temper, this time... there might be a quarrel.

-
Mother Gu hurried to the eldest son's house, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out. She held the door frame and entered the house. She saw the third son's wife lying on the bed with her eyes open and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's okay." She rubbed her chest. She was really scared along the way.

"Milk." The eldest cub stopped crying, but his eyes were still red.

"Hey, the eldest boy must be scared." Mother Gu saw that the eldest boy's eyes were redder than the second boy's. She thought he was very scared. She felt distressed and touched his head.

He looked at Wang Chunhua again and thanked her: "Thank you for your trouble."

Wang Chunhua waved her hands: "It's nothing, I think Dazai's mother is fine, it's just that the bag looks scary, there's nothing wrong with her brain."

After saying this, he remembered that the stove at home was still burning, so he said goodbye to Mother Gu and left.

Gu Dazi walked the person to the door.

Wang Chunhua was filled with emotion. What a good child! Why didn’t Cheng Huai’s family cherish him?

Inside the room, Mother Gu sat on a stool beside the bed, her voice lowered several degrees: "Third daughter-in-law, are you okay? How are you? Does your head still hurt? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Lin Zhao, lying on the bed, blinked. No, something happened to her, a big one.

Just now, her world turned upside down——

It turns out that she was the biological mother of the male supporting role who licked the dog and the female supporting role who was cannon fodder and died early in the book "Daily Life of a Stepmother Raising Children". She died today because of a bowl of egg custard... just a bowl of egg custard!
What a frustrating way to die.

Her frustrated heart felt like it was thrown into fire, swelling up, and she wished she could blow the person who wrote this book into pieces!

The most outrageous thing is that her presence in the book only appears in one sentence, which is fine, but she is also accused of being a drama queen who has ruined her own fortune.

"I'm so angry, ahhhhhhh..." Lin Zhao pounded the bed angrily, her fair and charming face full of anger, and her eyes were red with anger.

As I was getting angry, I saw a large turntable floating in the void in front of me. It had a transparent and ethereal feeling and its color was colorful black, exuding a sense of sophistication and mystery.

The moment he caught Lin Zhao's gaze, a few words flashed by: [Mysterious Lucky Draw Wheel]

In just a few breaths, the basic rules for using the big turntable appeared in her mind. Completing tasks will earn points, and the points can be used to draw lots.

Lin Zhao blinked her eyes, feeling that she really couldn't afford to injure her head. The aftereffects were truly severe. For example, right now, she was experiencing hallucinations...

After blinking and waiting for a while, the turntable was still there.

"!"

Lin Zhao couldn't help but reach out and poke it a few times. When she found that she could touch this thing, her pupils trembled in shock.

Seeing that the third daughter-in-law didn't speak for a long time, Mother Gu felt very uneasy and lowered her voice: "Third daughter-in-law?"

Lin Zhao looked up blankly.

She has a beautiful and bright face, dark classical phoenix eyes, perfect double eyelids, a straight nose, and pink and moist lips. Her facial features are outstanding, but her skin is dazzlingly white.

In terms of appearance, she is the most outstanding in the surrounding villages.

At this moment, the corners of her eyes were red, and she didn't look fierce, but she also lacked her usual arrogance and coldness.

Even Mother Gu, who was somewhat dissatisfied with the third son's wife, couldn't help but feel distressed. She thought her youngest daughter was going too far and needed to be given a good scolding.

"Third son's wife, it's all Xing'er's fault today. I will teach her a lesson when I get back..." Mother Gu couldn't help but speak softly.

Before she finished speaking, Lin Zhao punched the bed again, causing it to collapse with a loud bang. If the male owner of the house, Gu Chenghuai, had not reinforced it several times, it would have collapsed with just these two hits!
"It was her fault!" Lin Zhao interrupted her, angrily saying, "This is my house. She came to steal my things. If it's not her fault, then how could it be mine? I've never seen a sister-in-law hit her sister-in-law. Gu Xing'er is so arrogant, we should call the police..."

Please give your opinion.

Before she could finish the last three words, Gu's mother, who thought she was going to call the police, grabbed her hand and said, "You can't call the police, Third Old Wife. Considering how I've treated you over the years, please don't. How about this, let Xing'er compensate you ten yuan, and we'll just let it go, okay?"

"No!" Lin Zhao felt unsatisfied.

Mother Gu had expected that the third daughter-in-law would not be so easy to talk to. She gritted her teeth and said, "Then what do you say we should do? You bring it up, as long as we can do it."

Lin Zhao was waiting for her mother-in-law to say this. Gu Xing'er dared to push her, causing her head to hurt now. Of course, she would not let her off easily.

The sick beauty on the bed groaned, raised her slender white hands and began to make demands:

"First, the Third House will no longer pay for Gu Xing'er's tuition and living expenses. Second, you and Dad must keep her under control. From now on, she is not allowed to come to my house again. Third, she must collect firewood for me, two bundles a day, for a month. No one else is allowed to help."

After saying three points, Lin Zhao stopped and Gu's mother was stunned. That's it?

The third son’s wife suddenly changed her personality?
Mother Gu was very surprised, even a little horrified. Could it be that the eldest son's mother was planning a big move?

It's not that she deliberately made malicious assumptions about the third son's wife. The truth is, ever since Lin Zhao married into the Gu family, she has had a lot of problems. Not only is she spoiled, but she is also pretentious.

She acted well for a while after entering the family, and except for being lazy and unwilling to work, she was pretty decent. But as soon as she got pregnant, she started to make a fuss about splitting up the family, crying, making a scene, and even threatening to commit suicide. There was no other way, so the Gu family had to split up the third room.

After the family was divided, she cried and complained that no one cared about her. Mother Gu couldn't make three trips a day to cook and wash clothes for her... Those days were really hard to recall.

The third son’s wife became so easy to talk to today that Mother Gu really felt like she had seen a ghost!

Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't speak for a long time, Lin Zhao thought she wanted to bargain, so she immediately frowned and was about to get out of bed.

"If Mom thinks I'm going too far, why not report it to the police?"

Mother Gu came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "It's not excessive, not excessive at all."

"Do as you say. Your father and I will take good care of Xing'er!" she assured repeatedly.

Lin Zhao curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "I hope Gu Xing'er can learn this lesson. Anyway, if it happens again, I'll definitely report it to the police!"

Gu’s mother: “…”

The third daughter-in-law's words are really irritating.

She was used to it and didn't bother with Lin Zhao.

After working all morning, she still had things to do when she got home. Mother Gu didn't delay for long. She said a few more words of concern and told her eldest and second sons to call her at the old house if they had anything, then she left in a hurry.

In the room, Lin Zhao was lying on the bed, studying the lottery wheel.

"How do I open it..." she muttered.

Just as he finished speaking, a line of transparent words floated out in front of the turntable.

"Get a free lottery entry, can I use it?"

Lin Zhao muttered to himself, "Use it."

The red pointer began to rotate, from fast to slow, and finally stopped on the large gift package of grain and oil. The words on the gift package list were very small. Strangely, Lin Zhao clearly caught what was written on it.

【5kg Baxing Snowflake Wheat Flour × 5 bags】

【5kg high-quality pearl rice × 5 bags】

【2kg egg noodles x 2 packs】

【Farmhouse Pork × 10 catties】

【Authentic free-range eggs × 100 pieces】

[Peanut oil x 5 barrels]

【Braised chicken legs × 1 pieces】

【500g rock sugar × 2 bags】

【Canned meat × 2 cans】

【Must-have seasoning packets at home...】

"Do you want to withdraw the reward?" The words appeared again in front of the turntable.

Lin Zhao said blankly, "Extract."

next moment.

The open space of the house was filled with supplies.

"!"

Lin Zhao was stunned.

The sound in the room spread out, and a small voice came from outside the door: "Mom?"

The eldest son took a small stool and sat at the door of Lin Zhao's room, guarding his mother. When he heard some movement inside, he called out cautiously.

Lin Zhao had a fertile physique, the envy of the entire commune. Her first pregnancy was twins, both sons, the eldest and the second. A few years later, when Gu Chenghuai returned home for a visit, she became pregnant again, this time with twins, a boy and a girl, who are now a little over a year old.

Two births, four babies.

Lin Zhao came to her senses immediately, hid the supplies piled on the ground into the cabinet, locked the cabinet with a click, walked over to open the door, saw the skinny and small Dazai at the door, and remembered his final death on the street. She almost had a myocardial infarction.
