The Tough Peasant Wife: Jin Niang - C7 Situation

Chapter Six Jin Niang’s body was still somewhat weak, and coupled with the day’s worth of suffering, she was barely able to hold on after a while.

There were no nightlife or neon lights in the ancient nights. Everyone slept when it was dark and got up when it was dawn.

Jin Niang laid on the bed that Xia Lanqing had prepared for her. Even though she felt very tired, she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what, and she was thinking about her future life. She didn’t know why she came to this place, nor did she know if it was related to her or not, but she knew that since she was here, it wouldn’t be easy to go back.

Whether she was satisfied with her current life or dissatisfied with it, she had to adapt to it. It was impossible to say that she wasn’t afraid of being lost, even in the modern era. She would feel nervous if she suddenly went to a strange city, let alone to a dynasty that she didn’t understand at all.

She hadn’t had the energy or time to think about her situation, which had left her with no time to wonder why she was here. Just thinking about how to deal with her greedy parents had exhausted her.

Lying on the bed, he couldn’t help but sigh at his good luck. Looking at his parents’ behavior, he really didn’t plan to take his daughter again. As long as he could sell her for money, they wouldn’t care about her life.

Jin Niang really couldn’t understand, how could they have such bizarre parents?

In her memory, the little girl did not have a good day. She had endless housework and endless beatings, and even if she did not eat enough, she would still live in fear.

Yang Lihua and Lin Da Shun didn’t think much of her. They might say that her parents were cold, but they never treated their son like this.

Shitou had always been his parents’ precious egg, ever since he was born. He was extremely spoiled, and Yang Lihua hated that she couldn’t keep him in her mouth every day.

With such poor family conditions, Stone could still eat a bowl of steamed chicken egg soup every day. Which family in the village would be willing to eat eggs every day? Previously, an egg could have been sold for a copper coin, but now that the world outside was in chaos, the price had also risen to two cents per egg.

Just like this, even if Yang Lihua and Lin Da Shun did not eat it, they would still have to satisfy their son’s daily egg. No matter what, they would not be able to eat for a long time, so decided to sell it to buy meat for their son!

This year’s outer world was in chaos, and even the heavens did not give them any energy. After a series of droughts, both Yang Lihua and Lin Dasheng obviously did not want to raise an extra person, because an extra person would mean an extra mouth. Even if Jin Niang did not eat much, it would still be food!

The little girl served them like a little maid for so long, but in the end she ended up like this. Now that he had come over himself, that little girl was probably already gone.

would definitely sell her to Xia Pozi, what good would it do if she were to fall into Xia Pozi’s hands?

He sighed silently. He didn’t know which deity he had offended, but he had actually thrown himself here and cursed the heavens!

When he thought about how his powerless state was, Jin Niang became even more furious. No matter who it was that his parents were bargaining with, no one would feel at ease.

She decided to turn around and go to sleep. It would be useless to think any more, so she might as well think of something more practical. In the future, she would have to settle down here.

In the end, she couldn’t even remember how she fell asleep. She only felt that as soon as she woke up, it was already morning. When the first light of day shone over the village, it was as if it had come alive; the crowing of a rooster, the cries of a bird, the voices of the villagers, and the occasional barking of a dog were all extremely lively!

Jin Niang didn’t know what time it was, it was already morning, but the summer was supposed to be light early, so she didn’t dare guarantee that it would be very late.

She always had the habit of staying in bed. Even if she woke up, she would have to dawdle in her bed, unwilling to get up. However, after hearing the sounds coming from the yard, she suddenly recalled her current situation.

He got up with a start, quickly put on his clothes, then opened the door and left.

When she came out, Su Mo Yan was already in the courtyard reading a book. When he saw Jin Niang, he nodded at her and continued to immerse himself in his textbooks.

Jin Niang did not disturb him, she went to the kitchen to cook after she got some water, and when she had finished preparing everything and put it in the pot, Su Mo Yan walked over to help her ignite the fire.

Xia Lanqing’s body wasn’t well, and she would feel dizzy in the morning. She usually woke up a little late, and even if she woke up early, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Jin Niang felt that her symptoms were similar to hypoglycemia, but she was unsure if her guess was right.

Jin Niang did not say much, and Su Mo Yan did not know what to say either. The two of them silently prepared breakfast, and they had an extremely good understanding of each other.

When breakfast time was about to arrive, Xia Lanqing also walked out of the room with an embarrassed look on her face. Her unhealthy body was actually a burden to her son.

However, when he thought about how his child still had a mother while he was there, regardless of whether his body was good or bad, it was still a form of entrustment. If even his unhealthy mother left, Su Moyan would be too pitiful!

When she got up and saw Jin Niang making breakfast with Su Mo Yan, a look of gratification appeared on her face. Don’t look at how warm and gentle Yan’er was normally, it was actually due to her cold personality.

Xia Lanqing thought of his own brother and sister-in-law. Didn’t they also use this as an excuse to persuade him? Speaking of which, she was a man with a cold heart. Even if he worked so hard to provide him with books, he might not even remember anyone when he became rich and powerful in the future.

Right now, looking at Yan’er’s attitude towards Jin Niang, it could be seen that he also approved of Jin Niang in his heart. Could it be that this was the effect of that meal yesterday?

However, Jin Niang’s cooking was indeed delicious. Thinking of this, she sped up her washing up, and this was the first time in the past few days that she was looking forward to it when she was eating.

Jin Niang didn’t know what she was thinking. With Su Mo Yan’s help, they finished preparing breakfast and brought it out for them to eat. Right now, she had a rather tangled question, and that was how would she address Xia Lanqing and Su Mo Yan in the future?

Young master, madam? Is that right? After a moment of uncertainty, Jin Niang frowned as she started to think.

Seeing that she was not moving, Xia Lanqing smiled and waved, “Jin Niang, sit beside me.” She had never thought of Jin Niang as a servant.

Seeing that Su Mo Yan and Xia Lanqing were both looking at him, Jin Niang gave up on his previous thoughts and decided to finish his meal first.

cooked millet porridge for breakfast. It was quite refreshing to have a good cake on the brick bed with some pickled vegetables, and in order to not appear monotonous, she even mixed a green melon, which was also a cucumber.

Just by looking at it, Su Mo Yan and Xia Lanqing felt their appetite grow. Without saying much, they buried their heads in the delicious food.

After the meal, Jin Niang brought Xia Lanqing’s medicine over, and even though she could smell the bitter taste from far away, she drank it all in one go. Jin Niang could not help but wrinkle her little face when she saw this, but Xia Lanqing only smiled and did not say anything.

The weather had been getting hotter and hotter recently, and even though it was morning, it was not too cool. Xia Lanqing’s body could not bear the cold nor the heat, so even in this kind of weather, she did not dare let her go out.

Xia Lanqing didn’t forget to tell Jin Niang to apply the medicine herself, “If a girl has a scar on her face, it’ll be hard to marry.

Jin Niang smiled and nodded. Even after experiencing so many things, she still retained her kindness.

Jin Niang came out to do something else after talking with her for a while. She was currently in a restless state, and could only try her best to keep herself busy in order to conceal her unease and nervousness.

After cleaning up the place, Jin Niang sat in the courtyard daydreaming. She was actually still dizzy, and did not understand how she came to this place.

Su Moyan was also staring at the window in a daze. In her hand was a silver pouch that she counted over and over again. She closed her eyes; she knew how much money there was. It was precisely because she knew that she was so worried.

Other than the money his father had left behind, which his aunt and uncle had withheld from him, the majority of the money he had spent had been on his mother’s illness and his need to study. He could only look on helplessly as the amount of money he had left behind steadily decreased.

In other people’s families, a couple dozen taels of silver was not a small amount of wealth. However, their family situation was somewhat different from others’. Forget about the daily cost of his mother’s medicinal herbs, even reading by himself was a costly matter!

What should he do after a few dozen taels of silver? There was no way his mother could not be cured. He could write a letter and earn some money, but compared to the silver he needed to read, the money he earned was like a drop in the bucket.

Their situation was different from the other villagers in the village. At the very least, the villagers still had their own fields. They really didn’t have anything, and even if they had land, they might not be able to grow it.

After thinking about it, he sighed and frowned in thought for a while before making a difficult decision. If there was no other way, he would not go to the academy to study without telling his mother. It would be the same if he stayed at home to study; his mother’s illness could not be delayed even a day.

He had always insisted on studying. One aspect of his mother’s insistence was that he really liked her. He had ideals and ambitions, and did not want to end up with nothing for his entire life.
