Traveling through ancient times

The snowy mountain was awakened by the first bird song. After a good sleep, we woke up and started to prepare food with full energy! There is no need to rush today. Everyone has a lot of meat. In such a cold day, cooked food will not go bad. Let's take a day off today to prepare food!

The men went out to fetch water, hunt, and collect herbs, all of them were in high spirits! The women of Wang Zheng's family all went to battle, set up all the pots in the old Ma family, and waited for the master to have breakfast before starting to cook the meat!

Gu Dalian and her sister were walking around when they had nothing to do. They saw that the only seasonings for cooking meat at the Ma family seemed to be coarse salt and peppercorns. After thinking about it, they pretended to rummage in their backpacks and took out a few pieces of ginger, a handful of chili peppers, a handful of bay leaves, and a dozen mushrooms. They handed them to Wang Zheng's eldest daughter-in-law, motioning her to divide them up and put them into the pots. After a while, the aroma from the pots came out, fragrant but not greasy, making people drool!

As for the old Gu family, she doesn't have that much kindness to show to her enemies who want to harm her!

In the Gu family's small cave, Mrs. Zhou sat cross-legged, cursing at Qin: "You damned woman, you are so slow even when cooking meat, what can you do? You are just an unlucky thing, and you have brought bad luck to my eldest son!"

The more he scolded, the angrier he became. He simply stood up, took a wooden stick and hit Qin's waist as she was adding firewood. Qin dodged in pain, and the stick slipped and poked directly into the pot, splashing the broth everywhere!

Qin escaped the disaster, but she burned Yao's forehead when she was trying to taste the meat with chopsticks. Yao screamed in fear and threw down her chopsticks and ran to the side, shouting, "Mother, if you want to hit me, wait until my sister-in-law finishes cooking the meat. If you break the pot, we won't have anything to eat!"

Old lady Zhou was so angry that she picked up the stick and wanted to hit Yao: "You greedy thing, you have never eaten meat in your eight lives, I will beat you to death!"

Although Yao was lazy and greedy, she was not one to be bullied. She glared, raised her big breasts, pouted her thick lips, and said in a loud voice, "Mother, you can't bully me like this. Your daughter-in-law helps with the cooking, but you still get beaten for reminding her. How can that be justified?"

Old lady Zhou's triangular eyes glared at him: "You lazy woman, you dare to talk back when I scold you, you are such a disobedient and unfilial thing, I will tear your mouth off!"

As she spoke, she rushed towards Yao, who dodged hastily. After all, she was young and nimble. Old Lady Zhou chased her for a long time but failed to hit her, which made her even angrier!

Seeing Gu Damei and Gu Ermei standing aside and watching, she became even more furious. She took two quick steps forward, raised her white bone palm and slapped the two sisters each. The sisters did not expect that their grandmother would suddenly rush over. They were so frightened that their faces were instantly covered with bloody marks!

The two sisters touched their left and right cheeks respectively and burst into tears. Old Mrs. Zhou became impatient. Seeing that the two sisters' faces were scratched, she felt guilty and cursed: "You are a bunch of troublesome things. When you get out of the fields, find someone to marry quickly so as not to be an eyesore!" She turned around and sat back on her nest. Oh, no, on her bedding!

When the two sisters heard what their grandmother said, their faces turned pale instantly. This was not a good thing. With the attitude of their grandmother towards them now, how could she find a good husband for them? Moreover, the two of them were not even educated yet, and they were so eager to drive them out. They could just marry them off with someone at random!

Qin didn't expect the war would spread to her two daughters. Seeing the children being beaten, she rushed in quickly, but her mother-in-law had already finished beating them and sat back cursing!

Seeing her two daughters being beaten, with red and swollen cheeks, each with a slap mark and blood from being scratched by fingernails, Qin was shocked, angry, furious and afraid. Ever since Gu fell seriously ill, Qin has been crying non-stop. Her eyes are red and swollen, and her face is haggard, as if she had suffered a serious illness!

Qin's resentment grew stronger and stronger. For the sake of her three daughters, she endured it and kept comforting her two children. She hugged her two daughters and whispered, "Don't be afraid. Mother will not let her manipulate you at will even if she dies!"

Gu Damei didn't expect that her situation would change so much after escaping from the famine. She and her second sister were trembling all over! Although her father woke up, he couldn't speak and was weak all over. He had to be supported by his two uncles to walk. Mother and herself couldn't make the decision. Now, they were lambs on the chopping board. They could only tolerate everything to prevent grandma from getting angry and doing something more outrageous!

The reversal was too fast, and before the others around could fully react, the war was already over!

Although Gu Meihua was used to her mother's usual way of dealing with people, she had originally only targeted her second brother's family! Now that her eldest brother had just fallen ill, her eldest sister-in-law and her mother-in-law had already suffered. Wasn't her mother too ruthless?

Gu Meihua felt a little cold in her heart and hugged her daughter in her arms. She had few children and they were all her treasures. She had to protect them no matter what!

Gu Xiaomei's injuries have improved a lot, but now, she is in pain all over. Without Gu Dalian and her sister in this small room, she feels that there are dangers everywhere. Even if her mother is in front of her, she does not feel safe at all!

Hiding in a small corner of the cave, she saw her grandmother beat her mother and then went to beat her second aunt. When she couldn't beat her second aunt, she beat her two sisters. She was so scared that she trembled, covered her mouth with her hands, and her teeth chattered, not daring to make a sound! This little girl was really scared!

Sister Gu Dalian walked around and heard her so-called grandmother cursing in the small cave where she was staying. She couldn't help but feel irritated! When they went in, they saw the old lady sitting cross-legged on her mattress, cursing Qin and Yao, and she was so angry that she picked up a tree stick and wanted to hit people!

Gu Meihua and her mother were silently watching over the stove. Little Wang had already gone to the big cave, watching over the other two pots and taking care of her son! Yao also rushed out to help watch the fire!

In an inconspicuous corner of the cave, Gu Xiaomei was curled up like an abandoned puppy, shivering. It was so pitiful to watch. Turning around, I saw Qin and her two daughters putting away the scattered items, and no one noticed the youngest daughter!

Alas, poor Jiajia!

Gu Dalian couldn't help but walk towards Gu Xiaomei and said in a deliberately nasty voice, "Hey, you're sitting here without moving. It's annoying to look at you. Let's go! Go out and pick up some firewood!"

Raising her hand, she grabbed Gu Xiaomei's arm. The child was so skinny that she could be lifted up with just one finger. Gu Xiaomei heard Gu Dalian's voice, which sounded like heavenly music to her. It was the Bodhisattva who sent someone to save her. She lowered her head and followed Gu Dalian and her sister out of the cave!

Gu Xiaomei, who came out, was struck by a chill. She felt like she was alive again, and her skinny face seemed to have some life! There were still tears on her face. Gu Dalian took a handkerchief in her hand, wiped the tears, and stuffed a piece of beef jerky into the child's mouth. Alas, she was definitely a replica of the former Gu Dalian and Gu Xiaolian!

Gu Xiaomei didn't get much food these two days, and she always felt hungry! She didn't dare to coax her to eat more like before! She chewed the beef jerky in her mouth. It tasted dry, fragrant, and chewy. It seemed that all the strength in her body was given to her teeth, and the expression on her face became richer!

Gu Xiaolian felt complicated. Although Gu Xiaomei brought this upon herself, it was also designed by her sister. This situation reminded her of the situation she and her sister had experienced. She looked at Gu Xiaomei with sympathy in her eyes!
