The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

"Humph, so what if I take their lives? They eat my food, use my clothes, and grow up to be my children. Which is easy? They don't have to work in the fields. It's a waste for girls to eat dry food."

"What's wrong with letting them save the dry food for my precious grandchildren? They are still growing. Boys must eat more when they are growing so that they can grow strong and be able to work. What's the point of girls eating so much? If they grow tall and fat, they won't be able to get married in the future."

The old lady was very proud after she said this. She raised her neck and head, thinking that what she said was absolutely right.

Everyone in the village knew that the old lady treated her granddaughters harshly and didn't treat them as human beings, but hearing her say that with their own ears still made them furious. It just so happened that today's food supply was half as much, and she had no place to vent her anger, so the old lady's anger was ignited.

"You're still growing taller and fatter. It's good enough that they didn't starve to death. Look at those two little faces. They're pale and skinny, with a hint of green. They're almost starving to the point of looking like humans. How can you say something like they're getting fatter?"

"That's right. Although my family is not rich, I have never treated anyone unfairly. We all eat the same food, and if we are hungry, we starve together. My granddaughter is younger than the two of them, but she is much taller. I think I have never fed them much."

"They eat your food, wear your clothes, and use your things. These two girls spend their days either digging wild vegetables in the mountains or washing clothes by the river. They are good at housework and outside the house. If they were maids, they would be very capable. Don't you think you are supporting them? You have the nerve to say such things."

The old lady rolled her eyes at everyone, her neck stiffened, and her unreasonable and violent energy burst out.

"Of course I am embarrassed. I have nothing to be embarrassed about. You are not me, so how do you know about my family affairs? Speak less and be careful not to get hurt."

The old lady didn't want to beat them hard in front of so many people, and thought she could just scare them. But a bunch of people came up to persuade her and ridicule her. Those words were simply unbearable to hear. If she didn't beat them to calm down, she would not be able to sleep tonight.

Without waiting for anyone to react, he picked up a branch and hit the two men on the legs.

Jinshui and Xiuli had new injuries before their old ones had healed. They both jumped up in pain, closed their eyes tightly, and gasped.

The old lady looked at their painful expressions and finally let out her anger. She felt relieved.

"You, be careful of retribution."

The old lady was very unhappy when she heard this, and her lips were almost curled up to the sky.

"You are the one who is being punished. Why should I be punished for disciplining my child? Every child has been beaten before. You can't get ivory out of a dog's mouth."

The man knew that he couldn't win the argument with the old lady. Besides, she was old and prone to health problems. The people in her family were not easy to deal with, so he decided to be patient and keep things peaceful.

The old lady heard no other sounds, turned her head and looked Jinshui and Xiuli up and down.

His face flushed red and he dared not say anything. This was the effect he wanted. His sharp tongue was gone. If he wanted to resist, he had to have the ability to do so. It was not enough to just rely on anger and a mouth.

Both of them have become obedient. Let’s see if they dare to talk back like that in the future. They have been a bit arrogant recently. I don’t know who gave them the confidence. They want to fly before their wings are even strong enough. It’s really wishful thinking.

"Stay away from me, both of you. I'm getting annoyed when I see you."

Jinshui and Xiuli limped, and the expressions on their faces became more nervous as they moved, but they dared not utter a sound.

When the old lady saw them walking away, she felt so happy that she shook her head and hummed an unknown tune.

Suddenly I remembered what someone said during the quarrel just now, 'Being a maid for others means you have everything under control', and I glanced in the direction of the two of them.

It would be better to send them to rich families as maids. They can get money every month. When they grow up, let them climb into the rich man's bed. It would not be bad to be a concubine.

Besides, being a maid means having food and drink, which is much better than staying at home.

I was waiting to find out which family would want these two girls. I heard that rich families were very strict when choosing maids. They couldn't be sick and had regular facial features. They had regular facial features, but they were a little thin and looked sickly.

Forget it. I won’t ask them for food for now and will give it to Fugui and Manguan. Now that we have food and don’t have to work, we can take good care of them. Maybe we can sell them for a good price in the future.

Jinshui felt a chill, as if someone was looking at him. He guessed it was grandma, but he didn't dare to look directly at her. He raised his head and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. It was indeed her. He wondered what bad idea she was thinking of.

For some reason, the old lady usually wouldn't feel sleepy at this time, but now she could hardly open her eyes and felt a little weak. She wanted to take a nap.

I was a little worried at first, wondering if he was sick, but it's normal to feel sleepy after a meal.

He then called his eldest daughter-in-law to come and help him sleep.

The eldest daughter-in-law helped the old lady lie down slowly, adjusted her posture, and then picked up a large leaf to fan her.

The old lady fell asleep soon.

As expected, those who felt that they did not have enough food saw the yamen runners coming and wanted to ask for an explanation.

The eldest brother was very excited when he saw this, thinking that he had hit the nail on the head, and wanted to join in the fun.

Normally when my mother encounters something like this, she will jump up and her eyes will follow the crowd. At this time, nothing can disturb her desire to watch the fun.

But why hasn’t my mother woken up yet? I’m a little confused about whether I should wake her up to cheer her up.

After thinking about it, I decided to just let it go if I wanted to. It would be impossible to wake him up with such a loud noise, so I decided not to shout. Maybe he was tired from the argument just now.

The eldest stood up and took a few steps toward the group, until he was just in position to hear the conversation.

"You need to give us an explanation. Why has the dry food become so much smaller and the porridge become so thin?"

"Yes, you need to give us an explanation. Is the food insufficient? How many days can we eat? Will we starve to death here?"

"Don't try to fool us. We are not easy to fool."

"Yes, we need to make it clear."

The yamen runners were surrounded by this group of people and couldn't move. In the already hot weather, they began to sweat even more.

"That's why I came here..."

The eldest brother stood on tiptoe and tried to listen, but the communication was a bit intermittent and difficult to follow.

When I wanted to take a few more steps forward, I was blocked by someone and couldn't move at all.

If only my mother could shout at this time, the way would be cleared.

I had to listen carefully. My tiptoed foot suddenly cramped and my face became grim. I stomped my feet hard, hoping to get rid of the feeling as soon as possible so as not to miss the fun.

The person next to him was a little impatient, "Can you please stop stomping your feet? I can't hear what he is saying."
