The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 47 "A Billion Points of Bad Luck"

"Lili, are you full?" Lu Baozhen's childish voice echoed in the quiet "new" room.

There was a big red wedding character pasted on the earthen wall. The bed was also red, and was covered with a quilt with a dragon and phoenix pattern. The quilt looked like it had been used many times and had patches on it.

The little girl sat cross-legged on the bed, with two pigtails and a bright red cotton round-necked sweater.

She is talking to her hands.

"No." Black Koi spoke in a childish voice, like a five or six-year-old child, but it was impossible to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

"What should we do then?" Lu Baozhen's little face wrinkled into a ball, and she looked very worried.

"Go find Gu Dazai and Gu Erzai," Black Koi said, "If you are accepted by any of those families, I can give you everything you want."

To impress the naive human cub, its tone was tinged with seduction: "Piles of White Rabbit candies, countless skirts, beautiful hairpins, whatever you want, I'll give you."

Lu Baozhen wants them all.

but.

She hung her head and pouted, "Big Brother and Second Brother just ignored me."

The black koi choked.

To encourage the human cub: "You work hard."

Lu Baozhen didn't understand, so she propped up her chin and asked in confusion, "Why are you working so hard?"

The mark on her knuckles trembled repeatedly, which greatly stimulated the carp.

It's really hard to communicate with human cubs.

“Take the initiative to play with them.”

Lu Baozhen lowered her head even more, feeling sad and wanting to cry. She said aggrievedly, "Big Brother and Second Brother ran away when they saw me. I couldn't catch up with them."

The black koi was silent.

Lu Baozhen didn't want to disappoint her good friend, so she added, "Can't you just rely on my stepmother's luck?"

"..."

After tonight, your stepmother's forehead will turn black, and she will have no luck at all.

"Your stepmother is going to become an unlucky person. She is useless." Black Koi said these creepy words in a sweet and soft childish voice.

It continued, "The luckiest people in the village are the third branch of the Gu family. You must become friends with them, otherwise you won't get any sweet candies, beautiful dresses, or hairpins."

Lu Baozhen lowered her head to look at her fingers, her voice tinged with tears: "But I don't know what to do."

Black Koi had no patience to coax the child and threatened: "If you can't do it, I will find another friend."

After saying that, he disappeared.

"Carp!" Lu Baozhen shouted.

No one answered.

After a while, she wiped her tears and sobbed: "I will become friends with the eldest brother and the second brother, and Lili can only be friends with me."

The black koi was very satisfied and his figure flashed by.

In a flash, a White Rabbit milk candy appeared in front of Lu Baozhen.

"It's a White Rabbit!" Lu Baozhen's watery eyes showed surprise.

She shouted excitedly: "Carp."

The black koi didn't respond, but Lu Baozhen became more determined to make friends with the eldest and second koi and help the koi find "food".

Thinking of Gu's mother's miserable appearance, the little girl didn't feel scared, but giggled.

If you don't satisfy her wishes, you will be punished.

"Lili, thank you for helping me vent my anger."

It's about how Mother Gu rejected her and she got a lesson.

The black koi said softly, "We are good friends."

He said the softest and cutest words with his little black mouth wide open.

Ahhhhhh, food.

Lin Zhao didn't know all this yet, but after she woke up, she realized how evil Lu Baozhen was - she was the typical example of those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish.

Whoever makes her unhappy will be unlucky.

What Lin Zhao found strange was how Lu Baozhen could bring misfortune to people who disliked her?
The eldest child was learning to read with his mother. When he asked a question but no one answered, he looked up and saw that his mother was in a daze. He put down the card and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Son, do you know who your grandma met before she was injured? Or who did she talk to?" Lin Zhao originally wanted to ask Gu's mother another day, but he couldn't control his curiosity.

and.

With such a dangerous person secretly watching her, she could never calm down.

The eldest cub thought carefully, and when he saw the second cub stealing the spicy strips, he confiscated them directly, his eyebrows serious: "Second cub, mother is asking questions, you should think about it too."

Erzai was a child who was good at multitasking. He ate spicy strips secretly and didn't ignore his mother. He knew what Lin Zhaogang had asked.

He quickly stuffed the spicy strips he had just taken out into his mouth and sucked his hands hard.

"If mother wanted to know, why didn't she ask me earlier? I know." He said crisply.

Lin Zhao's expression brightened. "Hurry up and tell me."

Erzai said, "It's Lu Baozhen."

It’s really her!!

Lin Zhao's eyes flashed with understanding, and she asked again, "Did your grandma tell you?"

"Someone saw it." said Erzai.

A trace of disdain appeared on his fair and tender little face. "Mom, do you think Lu Baozhen looks like the unlucky star that her mom said she would bring bad luck to people who get close to her?"

Lin Zhao: "Hmm?"

Why did she remember that the original book said that Lu Baozhen was a treasure who could bring good luck to people?

Why did you become a jinx here with Erzai?!

Erzai puffed out his cheeks and said angrily, "Whether she's a jinx or not, I hate her!"

"She must have caused my breast to bleed! I hate her so much!" Erzai felt that Lu Baozhen had caused Gu's mother to be injured, and he hated her so much.

"Not really..." Fearing that the two children were superstitious, Lin Zhao wanted to explain a few more words, but was interrupted by the talkative Erzai.

The little guy hummed twice before continuing, "She asked my grandma why my brother and I didn't go to her house, and asked if she could play with us. My grandma knew that my brother and I didn't like playing with her, so she said we could do it another day. Then my grandma fell."

Having said that, Erzai sighed heavily and felt uncomfortable wanting to eat another spicy strip.

"If only I had followed my grandma, she wouldn't have fallen."

As a real man, he will definitely protect his grandmother.

Lin Zhao sensed something was wrong.

She asked thoughtfully, "Wait, you said, she asked your grandma if she could play with you guys?"

The eldest child said, "That's what my grandma said! I remember it too!"

"Mom, is there something wrong?"

That's not right!
So wrong!

If the children in the village want to find friends to play with, they just go directly. Why would they bother to ask their parents if it is possible?
Strange.

How strange.

Lin Zhao's mind was working rapidly, and she suddenly caught something, her eyes shining brightly.

Could it be that she wanted to get something from the eldest and second sons, and the threshold was... Gu's mother's promise?

This guess was a bit outrageous, but Lin Zhao thought it was very reasonable. Since she had a big turntable, it was not surprising that Lu Baozhen had such strange opportunities.

This makes some of the outrageous plot points in the original book justifiable.

"Mom?" The eldest boy tilted his head and called out to his mother.

Lin Zhao gave her eldest son a fierce kiss, her expression bright and cheerful: "You really helped me a lot."

The eldest cub’s fair and tender face turned a blush. Oh, mother really likes him.

Lin Zhao turned her head and saw Erzai's greasy little hand reaching for the open mouth of the spicy strips again. "Gu Erzai!"

There is no child who is not afraid of his parents calling him by his full name.

Erzai quickly retracted his hand, sat up straight, and looked away, at the ceiling, the bed, the cabinet, but not at his mother.

“…” You have clearly played the trick of trying to cover up your own mistakes.

"You can't eat today." Lin Zhao confiscated the spicy strips and glared at Erzai. "Especially you, Gu Erzai. If your throat hurts, you'll be in trouble. Don't cry when the time comes."

At this moment, Erzai thought that spicy strips were the most delicious thing in the world. The little guy licked his lips, hissed twice, and softened his voice to act coquettishly.

"I'm not afraid of a sore throat. Mom, please let me have another one. Please~~"

"Take back your coquettishness! It's useless!" Lin Zhao refused with a smile. She sealed the remaining half of the spicy strips and gave it to the eldest child. "Big boy, we agreed that you and your brother would each have half, and the second child would eat half. The remaining half is yours. I need to go to bed. We can eat it tomorrow, okay?"

The eldest boy accepted it and smiled: "Okay, thank you, Mom."

Lin Zhao touched his head and said, "Go wash up with your brother and go to bed."

Erzai and his brother walked out of the house with their heads down. Their small backs inexplicably revealed a sense of pity.

The five-and-a-half-year-old greedy child felt regret for the first time in his life. He felt sad just thinking about not having spicy strips to eat tomorrow.

“Boo, boo, boo!!”

Lin Zhao went out to the bathroom and heard these three heavy, emotionless sobs, which made her feel both amused and helpless.

If you can't cry, then stop crying.

She went to the toilet, suppressing her laughter.

The eldest child glanced at his mother's disappearing figure, took his brother's hand, and whispered, "Let's eat together tomorrow."

Seeing that Erzai was about to speak, he quickly raised his index finger, put it to his lips, and made a hushing sound.

The second child imitated his brother's behavior and laughed until his eyes were bright. He also whispered: "Thank you, brother. I'll just eat one."

He looked regretful and said, "I will never be greedy again."

"Yeah." The eldest child said, "You must listen to your mother and don't make her angry."

"hold head high."
-
The next day, Lin Zhao sent her children to the old house and rode her bike to work.

Not long after she left, the Lu family became bustling.

Yuanbao ran to the Gu family's old house and called out, "Twins, there's something going on, do you want to go and see it?"

The second child loves to join in the fun. He slipped out of the house so fast that the soles of his sandals were about to send out sparks.

A few steps away from the door, Yuanbao said, "Today's fun is provided by the Lu family. Hurry up, let's go and grab a seat, otherwise we won't be able to compete with those adults."

Hearing this, Erzai squeezed his legs together and slammed on the brakes. His shoes scraped against the mud and he slid half a meter away. His body tilted forward, and his arms swung like a windmill, stretching himself into a slanted candied haws stick.

He stood up suddenly.

Waved to Yuanbao.

"You go, I'm not going."

Yuanbao was surprised: "Why?"

"Pah!" Erzai imitated the old man at the village entrance and said, "The Lu family caused my grandma to be injured and bleeding. We have a grudge against their family, so we won't bother to watch their fun."

"...Okay." Yuanbao said disappointedly.

Eager to see the excitement, he ran away quickly, shouting as he ran: "Wait, Erzai, I'll tell you after I finish watching it!"

Erzai stood on tiptoe and waved vigorously: "I'll wait for you."

At this time, the Lu family.

Su Yuxian sat on the ground in a mess, holding her bleeding foot, her hair disheveled, staring at her condescending sister-in-law, her eyes full of humiliation.

"What are you looking at! You vicious woman, my brother shouldn't have married you. On the first day after you got married, you want to starve your parents-in-law, sister-in-law and Baozhen to death. You have such a vicious heart!" Aunt Lu started to put the blame on Su Yuxian.

Mother Lu clapped her legs and sang an opera, then looked up to the sky and cried.

"I have a miserable life. Each daughter-in-law I marry is worse than the last. The previous one was a sickly girl, and the current one was fine before she got married, but she started throwing plates and bowls the first time she got married."

He picked up the broken pieces of the porcelain bowl with a painful look on his face, tears streaming down his face.

"There are only a few bowls at home, and two were broken this morning. How are we going to eat without bowls from now on..."

Her singing, reciting, acting and fighting were so funny that the neighbors of the Lu family couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The young man scratched his head and offered some advice: "It's not that they can't eat it. One person can finish it and then the other can eat it. It's the same, the same."

After saying this, he quietly retracted his head.

Su Yuxian also felt aggrieved, "I didn't mean to do that. Would I deliberately drop the bowl?"

"That's not necessarily true!" Aunt Lu hugged her chest, her cheekbones were high and sharp, and her eyes flashed from time to time. She looked difficult to get along with.

"Maybe you didn't want to cook and broke the bowl on purpose."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She looked at Lu Yizhou and stamped her feet angrily, "Brother, look at the woman you married. She dared to ruin the family on her first day. Divorce her now!"

"Shut up!" Lu Yizhou scolded.

He was a soldier and knew more than the villagers. He knew that the word "rest" was a feudal remnant and should not be used.

"What's the point of taking a break? This is a new society." Lu Yizhou said in a deep voice.

Then he picked up Su Yuxian by the waist and put him on the stool.

"This is your sister-in-law, please restrain yourself." He looked at his younger sister with a warning look.

Su Yuxian looked at Lu Yizhou, her face full of emotion, and she pretended to be magnanimous. "Yizhou, I'm fine. I was just careless. This is my fault. I didn't hold the dishes properly."

Aunt Lu was very angry and gritted her teeth, "Why are you pretending? It was your fault in the first place."

Her mother said that the new bowls in the family were to be given to her as a dowry. If Su Yuxian broke two, she would have to take out two new ones to use, so she would lose two.

Thinking of this, Aunt Lu wanted to skin Su Yuxian alive.

Dowry is a girl’s confidence!
Su Yuxian lowered his head, like a punching bag.

The onlookers not only watched, but also muttered their opinions.

"Yuxian's sister-in-law is really powerful. She will have a hard time in the future."

"What's wrong with Yuxian? Did she really not do it on purpose? I've never heard of her breaking a bowl in the Su family before."

"The Lu family kid is good. He treats his wife well. He is indeed a good young man who has gone out. I heard that he became an officer. Yuxian is blessed."

……

The villagers didn't know how to keep quiet, and although they seemed to be whispering to each other, their voices were actually quite loud.

Su Yuxian heard something vaguely and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Before she could finish her laugh, she heard the person closest to her say, "Isn't this girl from the Su family a bit unlucky?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence in the area centered around the captain's wife.

Everyone looked at her with expressions that indicated they wanted to hear more.

"She got married yesterday, and Yuanshan's mother was injured and went back home in a miserable state. Last night on her wedding night, she hit her foot with a kitchen knife, and I heard that her toes were almost cut off. Today, she broke a few bowls..." The captain's wife was cracking the peeled pumpkin seeds, her face full of excitement as if she knew a secret.

"Whose new bride is so unlucky? This one is probably the first in the whole commune."

Others thought what she said made sense, and it seemed so.

"The Su family's daughter is really unlucky."

Another person said, "It's okay. Baozhen is lucky. I heard that she can pick up money while walking on the road. It's okay for the Su family's daughter to have bad luck."

Having said that.

"Bang!"

The stool Su Yuxian was sitting on exploded into pieces. She fell to the ground with a thud, letting out a sharp wail.

"what……!!"

The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment.

It seems like I'm a bit unlucky.
