Su Qinghe heard Gao Xiulanâs curses as soon as she entered the room, and her face suddenly stiffened.
She had an impulse again if it wasnât her motherâŠ
Fortunately, this is her mother. Although she disagrees with Gao Xiulanâs behavior, Su Qinghe is still a little touched by this mother in her heart. She is not a good mother-in-law, not a good grandma, but for the original owner, she is so good that she has nothing to say. However, the original owner abandoned her, and now she owns this body. She will be the one who will receive Gao Xiulanâs unrestricted maternal love in the future.
She is a very rare person for Su Qinghe who is disgusted and abandoned by her family after her parents divorced. Yes, she lacks love. Part of the reason why she was a homebody in the previous life was that she didnât want to go out and see other peopleâs family happiness; proving the fact that she was alone. She would rather live in her own world. She earns some manuscript fees by writing some articles every day, so she can maintain a normal life like this for ten years.
She also wants to enjoy the missing family warmth. And in these difficult sixties, this family is still very important to her.
Of course, this kind of deformed warmth is not enough. So Su Qinghe felt it is necessary to talk to Gao Xiulan.
But now she has to talk to the system âcause now the most important issue is food and clothing. Canât eat sparrow eggs every day.
Su Qinghe immediately lay on the bed to chat with the system, âSystem if I do work, do I get rewards?â
âThe host can get corresponding immediate rewards for completing the side tasks.â The system quickly answered.
Su Qinghe looked at her side mission. Both cooking and making clothes are fine.
She asked again, âThere are no tasks for housing and traveling?â
âAfter the host completes the first two side missions, new side missions will be released one after another.â
âThat housing (task), wonât let me build a house right? Thatâs an impossible task for me at all!â
âAfter the host has completed the two side missions, new side missions will be released one after another.â
The system just repeated the words just now.
ââŠâ Su Qinghe gave up asking these questions, her system is not cute at all. âThen if I complete the task of cooking, will I get the food of your interstellar age? Itâs the kind of magic potion that I will never be hungry after a bite.â
âHost, it is shameful to do it once and for all!1â
Su Qinghe discovered that the creator of this system must be a very shrewd person. She couldnât find any loopholes!
Since she couldnât find any loopholes, Su Qinghe was going to do a task and try it out to see what use the system was. Itâs impossible to make clothes. With her current craft, she doesnât even know the correct way to hold scissors. Itâs better to cook, the simplest one that only needs to be cooked2Â and eaten.
Su Qinghe just sat up and was about to go out to find her mother. She heard Gao Xiulan yelling at the door of her house, âWhy donât you go to work? You all just waiting to eat rice.â
âMom, Shuhong is not feeling well.â Big brother Su Aiguo reasoned.
âHuh?â Gao Xiulan smiled, âI gave birth to you in the morning and went to work in the field in the afternoon. Why didnât I say Iâm unwell? I gave birth to three sons and didnât say I was uncomfortable! You thought I didnât know, was it because watching Qingâer not going out to work, so you donât want to work too? Pity my daughter had no father since she was born, and said that the eldest brother can be regarded as her father, I think itâs just a fart. Married a wife and already forgot about your mother!â
Su Aiguo quickly said, âMom, donât be angry, Shuhong and I will go right away. Shuhong, go to work!â
Lin Shuhong immediately followed with a sickle.
Ding Guihua smiled and said, âMom, I want to tell you, Sister-in-law is a lot of trouble but I and Aihua are obedient.â
âF-3Â off, itâs not something for you to worry about. What are you doing at home?â Gao Xiulan didnât listen and hurried away. She doesnât like this one either, she just likes to listen to her daughter.
Seeing that his mother was angry, Su Aihua immediately grabbed Ding Guihua and left.
After the noise was over, she heard Gao Xiulan direct the children to work, âThe eldest girl is going to wash your auntâs clothes, and the second is going to collect firewood. Third⊠Third sweep the floor. Donât be idle in your free time.â
After a while, Gao Xiulan came with a small bowl of boiled soybeans.âQingâer, come, eat something. You havenât eaten anything at noon. Itâs because they are black-hearted. Just eat your food, donât be polite.â
Su Qinghe looked at the boiled soybeans inside. She is indeed a little hungry. There is nothing oily in this body4, and the egg and brown sugar water is not up to the stomach at all. She brought it over and took a sip, which was still sweet.
Gao Xiulan said, âI know that you like sweets, so I put sugar there. I asked your uncle to get it. He works in a supply and marketing agency and this thing is easy to handle.â
Just as Su Qinghe was about to talk to her about family affairs, Gao Xiulan took out five sparrow eggs from her pocket again, âCome on, eat and drink. I just cooked it.â
ââŠâ This day is not like a famine.
Su Qinghe ate a sparrow egg and said, âMom, itâs not my sister-in-lawâs business that I am sick this time. I did eat in the morning so, donât be angry with her.â
Hearing Su Qingheâs words, Gao Xiulan looked surprised, âQingâer, did they scare you?â
ââŠMom, how could it be possible, who can frighten me?â
âThen why are you speaking up for them? itâs nonsense. The sister-in-law canât be nice to the sister-in-law!â Gao Xiulan answered. âHave you forgotten the virtue of your aunt?â
Regarding this point, Su Qinghe is also aware that her grandmotherâs old Gao family did not even have a son after giving birth to her eldest uncle. Therefore, after the aunt5Â walked in, she almost suppressed everyone. Of course, the good days are not long. Her eldest aunt gave birth to three daughters in a row before giving birth to a son, and the son is not in good health. On the other hand, Gao Xiulan, although married to someone elseâs house, gave birth to three sons which gave her full confidence. Even speaking at her natal house is very important. Although she was not the son of Old Gaoâs family, she gave them the face of Old Gaoâs family anyway!
Gao Xiulan felt that her daughter was sick and confused, âQingâer, donât be fooled by them. All the good mothers-in-law in this world are going to be bullied by their daughter-in-law. If I donât die, they will be stunned when I look back. If your brothers are separated. How can Mom feed you when that happens? How can I make you live a good life? When I think about you doing such a tiring work in the wind and rain, it hurts me here.â She touched her heart. Looks like the flesh hurts.
Damn it, Su Qinghe felt that what the old lady said made sense. She felt that she had some great potential. Because she, like the original owner, doesnât want to do farm work!
This aunt is really brainwashing, and every word of hers strikes my heart.
Okay, she wonât say anything about the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law, âMom, the girls canât be too bad at ordinary times. Are they also the children of our Su family? They are your granddaughters⊠Iâm worried that my brothers feel uncomfortable so you should-â
âThey dare!â Gao Xiulan was immediately agitated. âIf they dare to have opinions, I will scold them!â
She looked at Su Qinghe as if she was facing a big enemy, and Su Qinghe looked with a guilty conscience, wondering when she had just collapsed, so the old lady saw something.
In the end, she heard Gao Xiulan say, âDid your brothers express their satisfaction with you? Tell me, Iâll go find them. Iâll turn them upside down!â
ââŠNo!â Su Qinghe didnât want to cause a family war.
Gao Xiulan didnât believe it, âThey must be, or you wouldnât say this! It must be those rascals who were born uneasy. One or two of them have no conscience. You are a sister who has had no father since childhood. They were raised so much by their father. They are full and warm but canât tolerate this girl. They all black-hearted humans.â
Su Qinghe: ââŠâ She will never collapse again!
âMom, my brothers are very honest with you, donât worry. I just joked with you when I said that. If they dare to treat me badly, Iâll be the first to tell you!â
She said with a firm face.
Gao Xiulan was very happy when she heard it, and she stretched out her hand and hugged her daughter, âI knew that in our family, we both have the same heart.â
Su Qinghe felt that if they continue doing this, the two of them would have one mind in this family. Her sisters-in-law who have been oppressed for a long time could not resist.
This is unrealistic unless her brothers are all brain-dead.
Lin Shuhong thinks that her man has a brain problem. Itâs hard to say but she canât listen to him.
She shed tears as she walked, âAnyway, we canât live this day. You see, today we are going to eat a bite of soybeans in the full moon, and we are scolded by mother like that. I know I canât eat it so I wonât ask for it, but mom canât always scold like that! Whatâs wrong with a girl6, isnât the oldest sister also a girl?â
âWhat are you talking about, let me beat you again!â Su Aiguo raised his hand angrily. Lin Shuhong was so scared she suddenly forgot to cry. Immediately she reacted again, âYou hit, I will let you if you beat me to death!â
Su Aiguo was embarrassed for a moment, and withdrawn his hand in a slanderous manner, and said solemnly, âAnyway, donât speak ill about my sister. She is pitiful. Our father is gone when she was in our motherâs womb. Our brothers donât feel upset. Whoâs upset? Before we got married, I said that I would take care of my sister. You agreed so, why are you arguing with me now?â
âI didnât expect your family to be able to care for people like this,â Lin Shuhong cried aggrievedly. Why did she want to marry Su Aiguo at the beginning? Seeing that he was tall and honest, and he still loved his sister very much, she felt that he was a genuine person, but it turned out to be something wrong. âAnyway, if you donât tell mom about the things we talked about, Iâll go back to my motherâs house.â
Hearing that Lin Shuhong was still into it, Su Aiguo couldnât help quarreling with her, and said, âWell, you can go back and live there for a few days.â
Lin Shuhong: ââŠâ
Behind the two, Ding Guihua and Su Aihua were also secretly watching them make a fuss. Su Aihua watched it with gusto, but Ding Guihua had a lot of ideas. However, her familyâs conditions are poor, and sheâs the one who chased Su Aihua. In addition, Su Aihuaâs temper is not as honest as Su Aiguoâs, she does not dare to make trouble like Lin Shuhong.
âHey, Aihua, do you think the sister-in-law can succeed?â
Su Aihua crooked his mouth, âHow is it possible, my elder brother canât be separated. Our family wonât be separated. Whatâs wrong, do you want to fight with me too?â
ââŠIâm not saying itâs wrong for mom to care for sister, but mom is really bad to you sons. Others treat their sons as treasures.â
Su Aihua nodded, and then sighed, âI blame you and sister-in-law. Before my brother and I got married, my mother was very nice to us. Always tell us about childhood. After you walk in, you always provoked mother, sheâs annoyed to look at us now.â
Ding Guihua almost choked to death with her anger.
At home, Su Qinghe smoothly took the key to the kitchen from Gao Xiulan. The excuse is to cook something when sheâs hungry.
Gao Xiulan of course has no objection. She gave her the key without saying anything and told her not to be deceived by the two sisters-in-law. âThe food at home is in the big urn in my room. When you are hungry, look for it. You canât cook, so you can eat dried sweet potatoes to cushion your stomach. When your sisters-in-law come back, let them make it. Keep your eyes on it. Donât let them hide the food secretly. The food at home canât afford to be spoiled by them.â
Su Qinghe nodded solemnly.
In fact, she did not dare to lessen the food at home. At the moment, many places are in a wasteland. Like the Yellow River production team, the wheat output this year was very low. After paying the public grain, every household basically has no grain. Itâs not yet autumn, and there is not much left in the familyâs surplus. This time there is no food, and we have to survive until autumn. But looking at the harvest of this year, there is no expectation in autumn. The old farmers in the village can see that every household tightens their belts and are not willing to eat food. They go to dig wild vegetables or pick up bark to make soup. Today Suâs lunch is made of various wild vegetables mixed with corn husks.
Gao Xiulan was carrying her little grandson and leading her grandson and granddaughters to find wild vegetables, Su Qinghe went to Gao Xiulanâs room to get some sorghum noodles, and then secretly opened the family kitchen.
The kitchen is very simple and pitiful with only a few things, and the stove is all cultivated in soil. The big iron pot at home was used to make steel, and now itâs just a clay pot for cooking.
This environment is really bitter.
âSystem, when I cook, will there be any magical scenes? Iâm worried about being burned as a monster.â
âHost, please rest assured to work. Hostâs level of craftsmanship canât make food that can glow.â
ââŠâ
The strong woman Su Qinghe twists her wrist, rolled up her sleeves, and walked under the stove, ready to light a fire. However, she quickly discovered the problem. She canât light it! There were a few matches, but none of them struck. âSystem, whatâs going on?â
âThe Almighty Military Sister System No. 01 is here for you. May I ask if you want to start the cooking device?â
âThere is this kind of operation?â Su Qinghe was shocked. She tried, âFire.â
As soon as the voice fell, the firewood stuffed in the stove was ignited.
As soon as the fire was lit, Su Qinghe hurriedly put the water in the clay pot, and then threw the sorghum noodles into the pot and boiled it together.
Su Qinghe didnât know how to cook this thing at all, so she just let the fire cook it like this. When the water boils, the sorghum noodles inside are cooked. The brown sticky appearance made her lose her appetite. However, this thing is the staple food at this time. No wonder the original owner went to the big canteen to eat meat, and she wanted to eat meat at the big canteen too.
âDing⊠the cooking task is completed, you will get a little cooking skill, and you will be rewarded with a pound of pork belly.â
