The second son’s wife couldn’t think of anything to exercise. She had never heard of anyone letting their daughters go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables in the middle of the night. What if they ran into bad guys? What if they ran into snakes? And they couldn’t see clearly at all.

That damn old lady knew to run away when she encountered danger. It was so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her and couldn't find the way. She asked Jinshui and Xiuli to find wild fruits and vegetables. She really didn't treat people as human beings. I guess she was annoyed just by seeing the two of them.

It would be useless to not let them go even if we said it out loud. No one in the family dared to go against the old lady, so we had to think of a way.

Fugui was shocked when he heard what grandma said. He couldn't let them go now no matter what. This would push them to death. Although he was very hungry, he couldn't exchange other people's lives for food.

"Grandma, I'm really not hungry. Don't let Jinshui and Xiuli go."

The old lady glared at the two of them hatefully, wondering why they didn't bring back more wild vegetables during the day. They were just good at talking but couldn't get anything and it was difficult to get anything. They were just lazy.

Seeing myself lying on the kang unable to move, I feel like this is outrageous, right? I have to let them know how powerful I am.

Seeing Fugui looking at her with eyes wide open, her heart softened and she decided to do as he wished.

"You always think about others, why don't you think about yourself?"

Fugui felt guilty after hearing what Grandma said. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. If the two of them really went and met with an accident, they would most likely turn into ghosts to look for him. The thought of it made his hair stand on end. It didn't matter if he was a little hungry. This meal wouldn't make a big difference.

The second son's wife felt relieved when she saw the old lady had given in. Although she didn't know what Fugui was thinking, she still helped a lot, and the pair of daughters finally got through this hurdle.

The second son's wife secretly observed the old lady's expression. She thought it was not appropriate to talk too much now. The more she talked, the more mistakes she would make. With her fickle temperament, it would be terrible if she regretted it later.

Jinshui and Xiuli looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh. What a miserable life! How could they be born in such a family and have such a grandma? They were unlucky for eight lifetimes. If there was a next life, they would rather be pigs or dogs than be born in such a family.

"You two come here."

The old lady's cold voice rang out, and everyone who heard it shuddered. It was even colder than the hard wind on the mountain at night.

Jinshui and Xiuli did not dare to delay. They lowered their heads and walked quickly to Grandma.

The old lady was a little dissatisfied when she saw that the two of them were a little far away from her.

"Come closer, am I a tiger or a lion? How can I eat you?"

Jinshui and Xiuli swallowed their saliva in fear. Grandma was scarier than tigers and lions. If they really encountered a wild beast, they would just close their eyes and wait for death.

Grandma is different. Every time she tortures someone until he is about to die, she lets go and does it again from time to time. You will never be able to figure out what she is thinking. You will never know why you make mistakes.

I moved forward again and finally I could reach it.

With lightning speed, the old lady took out an extremely thin and tough branch and hit the two men hard with a "swoosh".

Frightened by such a loud noise, both of them suddenly felt a sharp pain in their calves. They dared not make any sound, so they had to hold back their tears. They did not dare to bend down to cover the wound, but just stood there with a slight bend over.

At this time, you must not make any movements or say anything, otherwise the injury may become more serious.

The old lady waved the branch she had used to hit someone in front of them a few times.

"You two are money losers. You only know how to eat and not work all day long. The little you found is not enough for anyone to eat. If you can't find more tomorrow, don't come back. I can't afford to support you two big Buddhas."

"Get out of my way."

Jinshui and Xiuli endured the pain, with sweat dripping down their faces with every step they took. They frowned, gritted their teeth, and sat in the place farthest away from the old lady without saying a word.

The second son's wife couldn't say anything. If she stood up and spoke at this time, she would be going against the old lady, and she might even be whipped. After thinking about it, she decided to give up. She didn't have the courage to do so.

As long as we don't let the two children go out to dig wild vegetables now, it's okay to be patient.

When she walked to Jinshui and Xiuli, she saw that there were holes on all four trouser legs. She had to find the needle and thread and sew them tomorrow when it was still daylight. The old lady was really careless and ruined their pants.

Gently pulling up their trouser legs, Jinshui and Xiuli could not help but let out a hiss and looked at the old lady with some fear. When they saw that she didn't hear them and didn't look over here, they felt relieved.

There were countless scars of varying sizes on the two men's dry legs, some of which were old wounds, some were new, and the most serious one was the one the old lady had just hit them with the branch.

The injuries I got from fighting wits and courage with the wolf last night were not as serious as the ones I got from grandma.

The second son's wife's mouth twitched. She actually used such a heavy hand. Now she couldn't beat her. The sun was at its hottest. She would wait until she was old and couldn't stand up. Then she would see how she would torture her. She would suffer in the future for torturing her two daughters like this.

"Does it hurt?"

With the help of a little light, he looked carefully, wanted to reach out and touch it, but quickly pulled back.

Jinshui and Xiuli didn't dare to say a word, for fear that if they said it hurt, their grandmother would hear them and scold them for nothing. They couldn't bring themselves to say it didn't hurt.

The second son's wife blew gently on the wound.

"Look at what I'm asking. How can it not hurt?"

There is no ointment though, so hopefully this will alleviate the pain a little.

Jinshui felt that his mother was the only one in the family who cared about him, and the coldness on his face eased a little.

"Mom, it doesn't hurt."

Xiu Li nodded.

"Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore. Go and have a rest. Jinshui and I will get up early tomorrow to dig wild vegetables. We should be able to dig more than we did today."

The second son's wife felt that her two daughters were really considerate and sensible, and a wave of guilt welled up in her heart.

"It's my mother who is useless."

Jinshui glanced at the old lady. It was very difficult to survive in this family. His mother also had her difficulties. As someone's daughter-in-law, she really had to be humble. After all, she had no ability to divide the family.

"Don't say that. Others may not do as well as you do."

I originally wanted to comfort the children, but ended up being comforted instead.

"No more talking, no more talking. You guys should get some rest soon. Mom will hold you in her arms while you sleep tonight."

The three of them got into the quilt together, with Jinshui and Xiuli huddled close to their mother.

The quilts on Lao Er and Man Guan's sides were not big enough to cover them, and they kept pulling the quilts towards themselves.

You can’t argue with the old lady, and you can’t argue with the second son either. She turned around and glared at him.

"Stop talking nonsense. You, a grown man, only build it for yourself, but not for the children."
