Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 50 The increasingly serious drought

Mrs. Li was so angry that she wanted to curse.

Since her last miscarriage, Ms. Sun has been lying in bed every day and doing no work at home. No matter how unpleasant the scolding outside was, she pretended not to have heard it.

"Mom, are you going to rush in and beat us?" Li Jinfeng looked through the gap in the window at Old Mrs. Li who was jumping with anger outside.

"Hmph, I locked the doors and windows so she can't come in." Mrs. Sun sneered and took a sip from the medicine bowl. The bitter taste of the medicine made her frown.

She swallowed back the bitterness and gritted her teeth bitterly: "Humph, you damn old woman. If you want water to bathe in, you can choose it yourself, and you want to instruct me to do it, in a dream!"

Li Jinfeng saw the hatred on her mother's face and couldn't help but lower her voice and asked: "Mom, the red rash on my face is from you..."

However, before she could finish her words, her mother stopped her with her eyes.

"I didn't harm her, she asked for it!" Sun tilted her head and sneered.

Who is she smearing those low-quality rouge and gouache on her face every day!

Although that thing was a gift from her, she didn't force Li Xiufen to use it every day.

What's more, if Mrs. Li caused her to lose her child, she would also make her daughter feel uncomfortable!
  Li Jinfeng looked out the window at Li Xiufen who was scratching her ears and cheeks and couldn't stop crying. His eyes couldn't help but fall on the gold bracelet on her wrist.

That was one of the betrothal gifts sent by the Huang family.

In the past few days, Li Xiufen had been wearing gold and silver in front of her every day, and she had long been jealous of him.

She couldn't help but said excitedly: "Mom, if I marry into the Huang family, can I wear new clothes like that every day..."

"Hmph, just a few sets of clothes made her look so arrogant. She is really a mud-legged person who has never seen the world!" Ms. Sun disagreed, "Feng'er, don't be envious. When your father is admitted to the scholar examination, what do you want with these clothes?" Wear as much as you like!”

Li Jinfeng didn't say anything. She pursed her lips and still stared at Li Xiufen outside the window.

Li Xiufen's face is now covered in red rashes. Coupled with the hot weather, her originally unattractive face has become increasingly greasy and ugly.

Why.

In terms of appearance, in what way is she inferior to Li Xiufen?
  Why can she marry into the Huang family?

If Li Xiufen's face was disfigured, would the young master of the Huang family still marry her...

Li Jinfeng stared at Li Xiufen's ugly face, and a bold idea gradually emerged in his mind.

Mrs. Li was scolding outside until her mouth went dry, and the doors and windows of the east room were still closed tightly.

She was so angry that she stamped her feet, and Li Xiufen kept crying next to her: "Mom, hurry up and get me some water! I'm going to be itchy to death!"

After a while, there were many red marks on her face, which she couldn't help but scratch.

But such scratches caused the skin on the face to become infected, and the surrounding rash spread faster, causing burning pain.

Mrs. Li had no choice but to let Mrs. Sun go first and prepare to go to Mrs. Zhu to fetch water.

But Mrs. Zhu realized something was wrong when she was standing outside the east room cursing, so she rubbed oil on her soles and sneaked out.

"One or two lazy women! They don't even want to fetch water when asked. No one is allowed to eat tonight!"

When no one was found, Mrs. Li was so angry that she went back to her room.

Li Xiufen chased after her and begged, "Mom, please go fetch some water. I'm really itchy and can't stand it anymore!"

When Mrs. Li heard this, her original desire to love her daughter disappeared instantly, and she said straightly: "I, I'm a lot older, why do I have to pick the water! Let your brother pick it for you!"

As she said this, she also climbed onto the kang, covered her head and went to sleep, simply not caring.

"Mom!" Li Xiufen shouted angrily, "How could you do this!"

She now understands that if Mrs. Li is willing to pamper her at home, her own interests will not be damaged in advance.

Once she is asked to do something for herself, she will show her true colors. Mrs. Li’s favorite person is always herself.

She began to miss the time when Ms. Jiang was at home. No matter how hard or tiring the work at home was, she would always do it. As soon as she opened her mouth, she would do it and she never dared to complain about being lazy...

Even after meal time, no one in the family was willing to fetch water or cook. The whole family was hungry.

In the end, Mr. Li got up angrily to fetch water.

When he carried the bucket to the ancestral hall, there were not many people around there anymore, but when he looked into the well, he saw that the water inside had begun to bottom out.

Li Zheng was still standing guard, as if to prevent anyone from wasting the little water due to conflicts.

Seeing Mr. Li going out to fetch water alone at a very old age, but no one in the family of seven or eight was willing to fetch water, he couldn't help but shook his head and lamented:
  "I said, Lao Li, take a look at the ridiculous things that have happened in your family these days. What are they? What kind of moral character do these people in your family have? You should take good care of them! There is also the third daughter-in-law. Such a good person was ruined like this by your family, and your family really deserves it now!"

"Old Liu, what do you mean by this!"

When Mr. Li heard this, his eyes widened immediately, "When will it be your turn to guide my family! You should take care of yourself first!"

After saying that, he fetched water and ignored Li Zheng again.

Although he knew the virtues of those in his family, he was still angry at an outsider talking about him.

This will make outsiders think that he is incapable of running a family, so where can he put his face?

Li Zheng looked at Mr. Li who came home angrily, shook his head and sighed.

Jiang Xiaoxiao left the ancestral hall and went home long before Mr. Li came to fetch water.

Along the way, we passed many fields.

Without water for irrigation, the fields were dry and cracked, and a large area of ​​crops in the fields withered.

If this situation continues, this year's agricultural production may be impossible.

This is not the most serious thing. Now that there is no water in the well, drinking water will be a problem for everyone in the future.

Along the way, she had seen many old people in the village kneeling on the field ridges, praying for rain.

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt very heavy.

She dragged her heavy steps back home, and happened to see Jiang Wei coming back from the mountain, carrying a two to three hundred kilogram deer on his shoulders.

"mother……"

She shouted, and when she got closer, she saw that there was a dark hole in the deer's head.

Jiang Xiaoxiao could recognize it at a glance. It was penetrated by bullets.

But she didn't feel as happy as before about catching prey. Instead, she said with some caution: "Mom, Uncle Li Zheng asked me to ask you today, can you lend the well at home to the villagers to carry water?"

This is what Li was saying to her before leaving the ancestral hall.

In the entire village, only her home's well still had water.

Li Zheng was obviously at the end of his rope, otherwise he would not have asked her child for help.

Jiang Wei put down the deer deer on his shoulders, patted the mud on his clothes, and then looked at the well in his yard.

Most of the deep well wall has been exposed, and there is actually not much water inside.

But she still nodded: "Okay, they are all from the village."

However, borrowing her well does not fundamentally solve the problem.
