Chapter 2 Rice Porridge
She really can give birth, Xia's mother is yellow and thin, but she has given birth to seven...

Mother Xia pulled the children next to her and said, "This is the eldest. This year is 16 years old. This is the second child. This year is 15 years old. You are the third child. You are 13 years old. This is the fourth child who is 10 years old. The fifth child is 9 years old. Six and seven years old, and... the old seven is three years old."

No matter how calm Xia Yingying is, she still wants to scold her father now, she has given birth to seven children, how can she raise them?
Mother Xia continued to say cautiously: "Are you angry? I...are you hungry? There is corn porridge at home..."

Xia Yingying gracefully took a sip of the rice porridge, then vomited it up. She took a deep breath, is this rice porridge for people to drink?

Xia's mother sighed and said: "Our family is poor, only this, or else I should send you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? I can't starve you..."

Mother Xia's tears flowed out, and the eldest brother gritted his teeth and said, "Why can't I let my sister go hungry? I'll go to the town tomorrow to find a job..."

The second brother also hurriedly said: "I will go too, I will go too..."

It was only then that Xia Yingying discovered that the Xia family was actually all boys, and she was the only girl. She asked softly, "I heard that Xia Youyou used to hunt pigweed at home, and you still abused her and didn't give her food?"

That's what Xia Youyou told the Xia family when she went back, and Xia's mother was so angry that tears fell down her cheeks.

The fourth brother gave a "bah" and said, "Then how can Xia Youyou talk nonsense? There was some money at home, but she had to fiddle around, and tossed all the money at home, without getting anything out."

This is like Xia Youyou's personality. She traveled from the future and knew a lot of things. She just wanted to prove herself, but she didn't know it was not as simple as she thought, so she spent all her money.

Xia Yingying still has a lot of questions to ask, but the most important thing now is to make money. This family is too poor to even have food.

Xia Yingying smiled and said: "It's okay, our family's life will get better and better."

"Are you willing to stay?" The woman brushed her hair happily and said, "You are not used to eating corn porridge, I'll go and borrow some fine grains."

After finishing speaking, she happily took a broken bowl and went out.

The elder brother and the second elder brother also went out, Xia Yingying found a pair of scissors, picked up a basket and said, "I...I want to go to the fields."

She can't sit still, she wants to see if wild vegetables or herbs can be replaced with sweet potatoes!

The fourth child looked at her innocently and said, "Let me take you around the field!"

Xia Yingying looked at the clothes on her body, it was actually Xia family's brocade clothes and said: "Are we far from the town? I want to sell my clothes and buy some coarse clothes."

Dressing up as a lady, it is definitely not acceptable to go to the ground, the fourth child said: "Leave us for an hour! Otherwise, I will take you there."

Xia Yingying followed the fourth child to the town. There were two cloth shops in the town. The cloth shop that the fourth child took her to was the one she often went to on weekdays. There was only one steward and a little girl.

She looked at Xia Yingying and said, "What does this young lady need?"

Xia Yingying smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, do you collect clothes here?"

She pointed to the clothes on her body, and the shopkeeper touched the fabric and said, "It's accepted, but it's only two taels of silver. Do you sell it?"

"Selling..." She is not rare in the Xia family's things, she can buy some necessities after selling them.

After selling the clothes, Xia Yingying fell in love with two coarse cloth clothes, which cost 200 Wen.

Putting on the pink coarse cloth clothes, Xia Yingying sighed, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion might not even look down on this clothes!
But she is an ordinary rural girl now, so naturally she can't dress well.

She looked at the embroidery next to her and said, "Are you also wearing handkerchiefs?"

The manager smiled and said: "Yes, if you embroider well, you can receive ten to twenty Wen for a piece of handkerchief."

Xia Yingying asked for ten handkerchiefs and some needles and threads, and went to buy [-] catties of rice. A catty of rice cost five Wen. The fourth child was a little distressed, but the money belonged to Xia Yingying, so he couldn't say much.

Xia Yingying said: "Fourth brother, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

The fourth brother sighed and said, "The family is not rich and cannot afford rice. I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Xia Yingying smiled and said: "You always have to eat, why do I think you went to school?"

The fourth brother sneered and said, "Our family used to have some money, and I went to a private school, so Xia Youyou always felt that she was superior to others, and ruined the family completely."

Hearing his tone, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Xia Youyou!
Very good, very good, she hates this woman too.

Xia Yingying said: "How much did she lose?"

The corner of the fourth brother's mouth twitched, and the circles of his eyes were red:

"Back and then, it was about 100 taels of silver, and later she had to pawn that piece of jade pendant, so my mother told the truth.

Back then when Xia's family went back to their hometown to visit relatives, just in time for the two to give birth together, they hired the same midwife and they were in the same room, so something went wrong.

When our mother found out, she found the jade pendant in the swaddling baby. She was afraid... she was afraid that the Xia family would kill us, so she never dared to speak out, even the family members didn't know about it. "

It turned out to be like this, Xia Yingying patted the fourth child on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, our family will be fine."

It was already late at home, and Xia's mother's face was covered with bloodstains, Xia Yingying said: "What's wrong?"

"Hmph! It's not that you have to eat white rice. Mother went to grandma to ask for white rice. How did she know that she was caught like this by auntie?" The fifth child felt very uncomfortable. Maybe a debt collector left and another debt collector came. ghost.

Thinking of this, he burst into tears...

Xia Yingying hurriedly coaxed: "It's okay, I bought a big white rice today? I would like to trouble you to cook porridge tonight."

Xia's mother's tears came down again: "This... Yingying! I will save the big white rice for you, let's eat some corn porridge."

"If you don't eat, I won't eat either. It's okay. I can embroider handkerchiefs. After a while, I can also embroider purses. By then, our family will be full." Xia Yingying looked at Xia's family. The Xia family was unfamiliar to her.

But she could also feel the enthusiasm of the Xia family, it was not like what Xia Youyou said, Xia Youyou in her previous life said the Xia family was extremely bad.

He said that everyone in the family bullied her, abused her, and didn't even give her food. Xia's family hid all the money she made, and planned to sell her to an old bachelor.

So Xia Youyou was lying about all of this, but the Xia family believed it and threw Xia Yingying into the countryside without even asking.

Mother Xia and her elder brothers and younger brothers all had red eyes. In the evening, the whole family drank rice porridge, but just after they finished drinking, they saw a woman rushing in from outside.

"Hey! Sister-in-law! Are you already drinking white rice porridge? You even came to our house to beg for food, why are you so shameless?
Let me tell you, my mother is still hungry!Your family's white rice, you'd better hold on to your mother first! "After the woman finished speaking, she rushed directly towards the kitchen.
