MTL - It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother-Chapter 9 very poor
It's early spring now, the weather is still a bit cold, spring plowing and planting have not yet started, and each household in Mojia Village is still relatively idle.
Smoke curled up from the chimney of the kitchen, and Mo Wuyun and Mo Wuqing were already cooking breakfast. And Mo Wufeng, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was sweeping the floors of the three cottages with a broom. The two children were already awake, and Mo Dai heard Xu Shaolin urging the children to get dressed in the west ear room.
After a brief wash, Modai stood in the yard and began to look at the whole yard for the first time. It was dark last night, so she didn't take a closer look, but now that she had a look, she knew how impoverished Mo Daxi's family was.
Three dilapidated thatched houses, they are really dilapidated, with earthen walls and thatched roofs, and cracks have already appeared on the walls, and some of the cracks are large and have been blocked from the outside with thatch. Such a crumbling house is completely It can be treated as a super-dangerous house, but Mo Daxi's family dared to live in such a house with peace of mind. It is really commendable for their courage.
The thatched house is not big, about 70 to 80 square meters in terms of modern area conversion. There is a courtyard at the front and back of the thatched house. The front yard is surrounded by a wall of soil embryos, which is as high as one person and about ten meters long and wide. On the east side of the yard, there are two smaller thatched cottages facing west, which are the stove room and the firewood room. Two wooden stakes are buried on the west side of the yard. Straw ropes are tied between the wooden stakes. old clothes.
The backyard of the thatched house is a little more impressive, about half an acre, surrounded by a fence wall surrounded by tree branches. The backyard is mainly used to grow some seasonal vegetables and fruits. The hut, pigsty and chicken coop are also located in the backyard. However, the pigsty of Mo Daxi’s family has been empty for a long time, only a few live animals are left in the chicken coop. chicken.
Modai opened the dilapidated courtyard door, and there was an old locust tree growing by the west wall outside the courtyard door, which was as thick as a person's arms, and it had been there since Mo Daxi could remember. The old locust tree has sprouted new buds, and the dark brown branches are dotted with green dots all over the tree. It seems that it is the only lively and bright spot in this poor family's broken courtyard.
Mo Dai went out, leaned against the trunk of the old locust tree, and looked far away at the blue-black mountain forest she walked out of yesterday.
Mo Daxi's memory told her that the world she transmigrated into was a world where women were superior to men and men were inferior. In this world, there were four big kingdoms: Yun, Qiong, Wu, and Sang, as well as some scattered small kingdoms. The country where Mo Daxi is located is Yun Kingdom, and the empress of the current dynasty is Qionglanyue, whose country name is Dayue. She has reigned for three years, and the Dayue Dynasty has a calendar of 430 years.
It would be fine if the superiority and inferiority relationship in terms of status and her previous life were reversed, but the life of all things in this world is completely subverted. The male is the body that reproduces all things, and when translated to human beings, it means that men give birth to offspring . A man giving birth, in layman's terms, is a rooster laying an egg. Is there anything more frightening than this?
The answer is, yes.
I don’t know if this world is cursed by God. More men than women and few women have become the basic social form of this world. The ratio of men and women is seriously out of balance. Therefore, polygamy (≥2) has been listed as the law of the country Among them, anyone who violates the law (referring to women) will be sent to the official breeding field and become a tool for the official to force breeding...
Mo Dai sorted out Mo Daxi's memories bit by bit, the more she knew, the more horrified she felt.
Mojia Village is one of the villages far away from the Imperial Capital and near the foot of Yunmu Mountain. There is an unwritten custom in the poor and remote countryside. In order to avoid all kinds of conflicts that may arise during the run-in between the husbands, when the country girls reach the age of marriage, they will marry several brothers from a certain family together at one time, that is, brothers. Co-wives. Mo Daxi's adoptive mother, Mo Ahua, married the brothers of the Xu family from Houwang Village, a neighboring village, while Mo Daxi directly married Mo Ahua's three sons.
Maude straightened her arms and spread her five fingers towards the gradually brightening sky.
God, she is very grateful to be able to see the light again, but letting her travel to such an inexplicable world is punishing her no matter how you think about it? But she didn't do anything wrong, did she? If she had to correct her mistakes, then she could only say that she was wrong because she was too far back, and she was born at the wrong time!
Mo Dai clenched her fingers tightly, as if she wanted to control her unbearable fate in the palm of her hand.
At this time, a family separated from Mo Daxi's house in a wasteland opened the door with a creak, revealing a head with messy hair.
Mo Dai subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and when she met the head from a distance, the memory in her mind told her that the person was the neighbor Osmanthus Osmanthus. When Mo Dai was about to nod her head to greet the man, she saw that Mrs. Osmanthus was first startled, then quickly looked away, shrank her head, and closed the door again with a creak.
Mo Dai was startled, this sweet-scented osmanthus sister-in-law is twenty-two years old, and she has a good relationship with Mo Daxi on weekdays, at least in Mo Daxi's memory, what happened today? Could it be that he mistakenly thought that she died three days ago, and now he thinks she is a ghost?
"My wife, you can have breakfast." Mo Wuyun's voice came from the courtyard, and it was like a touch of cold dew on a leaf in his ears. It was extremely gentle and peaceful, but it had a coldness that could not be ignored.
Mo Dai touched her nose and walked back to the yard.
Breakfast was served in the main hall of the three huts, and Mo Dai was allowed to sit in the front seat. Under the buttocks was the only bench with no missing legs. The three brothers Xu Shaolin and Mo Wuyun were all sitting on wobbly benches , and the two younger ones were standing beside Xu Shaolin, with no seats at all. Maru Niu followed beside Mo Xiaoyu, with his head held high, he was more anxious to eat than the two younger ones.
Breakfast is a bowl of black batter per person, and the side dish is a small dish of shredded dried radishes, without any oil or water.
As Mo Wuqing said before, the family's rations are really carefully calculated and calculated. One extra ball of cattle means that a part of the rations of the other people must be allocated. So Mo Dai discovered that, except for Mo Wuyun, the black batter of the others was the same as in memory, half-thick but not thin, while Mo Wuyun's bowl was obviously sparse soup, presumably he evenly mixed it. After making his own black batter, he was afraid that his brothers would find out, so he added water into it.
Seeing Mo Wuyun drinking the watery soup calmly, Mo Dai felt a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't say anything at this moment, since he did it so silently, she just pretended not to see it. So he picked up the bowl of black batter and took a sip.
As soon as the black batter was in the mouth, Mo Dai didn't even know what it tasted like, but felt rough and scratched his throat, making it difficult to swallow. He thought, this is the real coarse food! Maru Niu seems to have the same thoughts as her, sniffing and sniffing, eyes blinking and blinking, thinking on the verge of eating or not.
Looking back at the other people at the table, they all buried their heads in their bowls, hula la drinking, and eating very sweetly. Especially those two little ones, as if they were eating some delicious food in the world, they finished eating in a short while, and after eating, they began to lick the bowl, their whole little faces were stuffed into the bowl, after licking the bowl, they still looked like Looking at the bowl, looking at it again, tsk, it's so clean that I don't need to wash it!
Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi, due to long-term malnutrition, both of them are skinny and skinny, their faces are blue and yellow, and they have grown into radish heads with a big head and a small body, with big sunken eyes, obviously sick. After they finished eating, they turned to look at the Maru Niu beside them, and saw that the black batter in its bowl had hardly moved. After all, they were children, and both of them showed desire to eat in their eyes.
Maruniu was keenly aware of it, and resolutely put his head down to eat hard, lest he would be robbed by the two children, jokingly, although the rations were unpalatable, it was better than nothing, want to **** it? no way! After quickly finishing his meal, Maruki glanced at the two children defiantly.
At this time, the two children could have acted coquettishly at the adults and wanted to eat, after all, they were only two or three years old, but they just smacked their lips and stood silently by the table without making a sound.
Everyone else had finished eating, but Modai's bowl was still full. It was because the food was so poor that she couldn't swallow it just now, but at this moment, she couldn't swallow it psychologically.
"Give half of mine to the children!" Mo Dai couldn't help saying.
Hearing this, everyone else in the room expressed surprise. Because of surprise, they all looked at Modai unanimously, as if they were confirming whether what she said was true or whether she was joking. After all, Mo Daxi in the past would never say said such words. In the impression of the three brothers Mo Wuyun and Xu Shaolin, not only would Mo Daxi not say such things, but he would **** the food from other people in the family, and he even called it a woman, and she needed more strength to work Earn money to support your family.
Madai knew what they were surprised at, so she ignored them, took the two children's small bowls, and poured the black batter in her own bowl into the two small bowls, leaving only half of the bowls for herself to snort He drank it all in one gulp.
The two children are very afraid of Mo Daxi, because Mo Daxi beats and scolds them every now and then. For this reason, they never call Mo Daxi Niang, and Mo Daxi beats and scolds them more and more because of this, which has formed a vicious circle. At this moment, although Mo Dai distributed the food to them, they didn't dare to eat it, fearing that it would be the introduction of Mo Daxi beating and scolding them again, so they only timidly looked at their relatives, seeking protection.
The corners of Mo Dai's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she was about to persuade the two children again, but Mo Wuqing snorted sarcastically: "Hmph, why pretend to be a good person? It's not because of you, Mo Daxi, that the family is so poor. He likes to gamble and drink too much, not doing business properly!" Mo Wuqing's eyes were full of contempt, Mo Dai's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he heard him say, "Xiao Yu Xiaoyi, come here, third father will take you to the foot of the mountain to pick up branches for firewood. "
The two younger ones took a deep look at the black batter on the table, and although they couldn't help swallowing, they obediently followed Mo Wuqing out the door. They wanted to take Maru Niu out together, but Mo Wuqing said in a strange voice: "It's a precious thing brought back by someone, we can't afford it!"
Xu Shaolin saw that Mo Wuqing and Mo Daxi were in a stalemate again, and worried that Mo Daxi would rush to fight Mo Wuqing, which had happened many times before, so he quickly smoothed things over: "Wuqing, don't say a few words and no one will When you are dumb! Daxi, don't be as knowledgeable as he is, he just has a bad mouth, but in fact he has always been thinking of you..."
"The devil misses her!"
"shut up!"
Xu Shaolin glared at Mo Wuqing, Mo Wuqing's eyes were red, he carried a big bamboo basket on his back, and led the two little ones out the door.
"Daxi, don't be angry with Wu Xiao, he is pregnant now..."
Xu Shaolin was still rambling on to intercede for Mo Wuqing, Mo Wuyun silently cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and Mo Wufeng stood by Xu Shaolin's side firmly to support him, not even daring to lift his head from the beginning to the end .
Mo Dai looked at the two small bowls filled with black batter on the table, thinking of the reluctant eyes of the two small ones lingering on the small bowls when they were leaving, and thinking of Mo Wuqing's choking white with resentment. Thinking of Mo Wuyun's indifferent and alienated expression, Mo Wufeng's timid and cowering attitude, and Xu Shaolin's heavy and helpless sigh, his heart was in a mess for a while.
