"Du Juan, Du Juan, mother has made porridge, you get up and eat porridge."

Dujuan's eyes rolled, and then she burst out crying with a "wow" sound. Shanzi's mother sat on the edge of the bed and patted her, "My dear, don't cry, we women have all had this happen to us."

"It just hurt a little the first time, but it gets better after that."

"Come on, get up and eat some porridge."

Dujuan cried for a while and shook her head, "Auntie, I don't have the strength to get up."

Shanzi's mother sighed, "I'll bring it to you."

Du Juan was drinking porridge in the house, and Shan Zima heard someone shouting outside the door, "Sister-in-law Huang——"

Shan Zima walked out and saw Yougen at the door.

She hurried out and said, "There is a house for rent. I asked about it last night. I will take you there."

Yougen looked embarrassed, "I'm late, I might have delayed your business."

"Ahem, I originally went to the city early this morning. I first went to the inn to look for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, but I didn't know that their whole family was suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. I was busy asking for a doctor."

Shan Zima felt funny in her heart. She was eating so hard that it would be a good thing if she didn't finish it to death, but she asked with concern on her face: "Does it matter?"

Yougen sighed, "It doesn't matter, I just need to take care of it for a few days."

"The doctor said that they had eaten very little while escaping from famine. They were stuffed with so much fish and meat, and their stomachs couldn't bear it. They told them to drink plain porridge for a few days, without any oil or meat."

The two chatted for a while, and Shanzi's mother took him to a house not far away. This house also had several mud houses. There was an empty single room next to it, and it only cost one hundred yuan a month.

Yougen rented it and went to pick up his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Shanzi drove the mule cart out of the gate, and it came out later than usual today. The north city gate was already full of mule carts looking for work.

Shanzi squatted under the wall for a while, then suddenly got up and drove towards Dongcheng.

Not long after, we arrived at Furong Street.

Looking from a distance at the three-room front door of the boss, there is a sign with gold letters on a black background.

Shanzi sat on the shaft of the cart, pulling the reins and letting the mule walk slowly.

When he reached the door of the inn, Shanzi turned his head and looked inside.

Just then, I saw Myolie standing in the lobby. She was wearing a moon-white muslin underskirt, with a blue belt tied around her waist, which made her waist look plump.

She was talking to a young man standing opposite, with raised eyebrows and a smile on her face.

Shanzi's heart felt like he had been stung by something, a twinge of pain.

As if she noticed something, Xing'er turned back sharply.

Shanzi saw her fair face, moist eyes, and bright red lips.

In just an instant, the smile on that face disappeared, and then Xing'er turned around and went inside.

Shanzi stared blankly as Xing'er's back disappeared from the back door. Gu Fei was sitting at the counter. He glanced over at her. Shanzi glared at her, raised his whip, and drove the mule away.

Shanzi came home early that day, unloaded the car, and went to the kitchen to find his mother to pay the copper coins. After entering the kitchen, he saw Du Juan sitting under the stove making a fire.

It was late yesterday, and the mountain could not be seen clearly under the candlelight.

Only then could I clearly see Du Juan's appearance. Her skin was a little dark, and she was still wearing Shan Zi's mother's dusty old clothes. Seeing him looking over, she lowered her head timidly.

In Shanzi's mind, he thought of Xing'er whom he saw during the day, with red lips and white teeth, and a high-spirited look.

His face suddenly pulled down, he turned around and walked out.

Shanzi's mother called him from behind, "Shanzi, where is the money you earned today?"

"By the way, did you buy the dragon and phoenix candle I asked you to buy?"

Shanzi didn't answer, went back to the house, and closed the door firmly.

That night, the bed board creaked again in the middle of the night. Dujuan closed her eyes and listened to Shanzi calling "Myolie" one after another.
