She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

"Wen Manzhou, you are being one-sided. Once you have the food in your mouth, you won't say that anymore." There was some arrogance in Hou Jie's eyes when he said that, but when he thought of the delicious food, the arrogance in his eyes immediately turned green.

Wen Manzhou is the courtesy name given to Wen Youcai, which means a boat full of talent.

"Hou Jie, is that thing expensive? Manzhou's family is average, so don't spend several hundred coins on it. It's just a small dish for the two of us, but it would be unkind to Manzhou. You can't spend half a month's change on one meal."

At this time, the third person finally spoke. He looked as if he was concerned for Wen Youcai, but there was actually a flash of contempt in his eyes.

Because he and Hou Jie were both from the town, their family background was not wealthy, but it was much better off than Wen Youcai who came from the village.

Wen Youcai naturally heard what Zhu Fei said, and smiled disdainfully, and slowly said, "I can still afford the food made by a village woman. But we'd better hurry up, otherwise Zhu Fei will not have time to recite the lessons left by the teacher, and he may be scolded again in the afternoon."

After Wen Youcai finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Fei with "good intentions" and asked, "Is that so?"

But I thought in my heart that Zhu Fei could only put pressure on me in terms of money. Who was the person who was scolded by the teacher for not completing his homework this morning and was punished to stand in the corner?

When Zhu Fei was reminded of this, his face turned red, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Humph, I was distracted this morning. Do you really think I can't do that?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Hou Jie hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over, "Okay, let's take a break from school and eat something at noon. Don't talk about these things to spoil the mood. We have to hurry, otherwise you can't blame me if you can't eat. Besides, I've found out that they charge three cents for a piece of meat, and if you don't buy five pieces, they won't give you salted vegetables. The three of us will buy five pieces together, so that the village woman can give us more salted vegetables, and then we can find a noodle stall nearby and have a good meal."

Wen Youcai did not ask any more questions, but instead walked a little faster.

......

Since there was no table, Gu Qingqing was worried that the five-year-old Erhua would not be able to hold the bowl of noodles, so she turned the bamboo basket upside down and let Dahua and Erhua use it as a table.

There was a piece of roast pork and some salted vegetables in each person's bowl. The aroma was so fragrant that it hit our noses straight.

As for Sanhua's food rations, they had already been squeezed into small jars when she left home. Otherwise, where would she find a place to stay when she was away from home?

Now she asked the stall selling vegetarian noodles for some hot water, heated up Sanhua's rations and fed her with it.

It was lunchtime and there were other customers eating at the noodle stall. Seeing how Gu Qingqing and the others were eating, some of them who had money left simply bought a portion of so-called Shaobai (shaobai) and poured it on their noodles, eating happily.

After dinner, Gu Qingqing brought the bowl of noodles back and said to Wen Wuyan, "Wen Wuyan, there's only enough meat for two people left in the bowl. Why don't we just stop selling it? Let's pack up our stall and go to the dental clinic to have a look. If there's a suitable house or piece of land, we can go and have a look."

Wen Wuyan smiled and nodded, then reminded her, "Okay, but should we go buy some meat first? I promised the steward of the Shen Mansion that I would send some to you tomorrow. If we go to the market too late, we might not be able to find good meat."

Gu Qingqing thought about it and realized that this made sense, so she started packing up the stall, saying, "It's not just meat that needs to be sold, there are also some condiments. Also, after going to the tooth shop, if it's still early, we can go to the grain store. I want to buy some sorghum flour. There are a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains at this time of year, and I can mix it with the white flour at home to make dumplings."

When Dahua, who was helping to pack up, heard her mother say that she wanted to use wild vegetables to make dumplings, she looked worried and said, "Mom, there aren't many wild vegetables on our hill. If we want to dig more, we have to go to Niutou."

How many wild vegetables are there in the mountains? They are all in that area. Gu Qingqing is definitely not as familiar with them as Dahua and Erhua.

When Dahua said that there were no wild vegetables on her mountain, she was a little surprised. "Did I dig up all the wild vegetables on the mountain in the past few days? We didn't eat that much!"

"Mom, the wild vegetables we ate before were basically dug from our own mountain, and we have been eating them since the beginning of spring until now," Dahua explained.

Gu Qingqing didn't react at first, until she heard Dahua mention the beginning of spring, she suddenly realized that the past that Dahua was talking about was the time when she was at Old Wen's house.

Gu Qingqing thought about it but didn't care and said, "It's okay. There aren't many on our mountain. We can go to Niutou Mountain to dig. Besides, we were going to collect firewood anyway. There's not even any firewood on our mountain. There are only a few crooked trees. You have to wait until your father's leg is healed. Let your father do it. I don't have the ability to cut trees."

When Dahua heard that they were going to Niutou Mountain, she was happy at first, because they caught a big wild boar last time they went there. But then she became nervous again. When she came back that day, she heard a lot from the villagers about how ferocious the wild boar was. They said her mother was lucky because the wild boar was stuck between two trees, otherwise it would have been hard to say who would have been hurt.

Dahua thought about this and said, "Mom, let's just pick it up on the side this time and not go in too far."

Gu Qingqing understood the worry in Dahua's eyes, and knew that she was really lucky this time, which enabled her to turn defeat into victory.

She herself knew very little about the mountains, so after thinking for a while she nodded and said, "Okay, we'll pick them up outside."

Wen Wuyan didn't say anything, but just looked at his legs for the one hundred and first time.

They were packing up their stall here, while Hou Jie, Wen Youcai and Zhu Fei had also arrived.

There were many people on the street at noon, and Wen Youcai didn't pay attention at first. When he got close, he saw clearly that the people setting up the stall were Wen Lao San and his wife, and Wen Youcai's face changed immediately.

At this moment he was even a little flustered. He didn't want to let people know that Wen Wuyan was related to him in the street, especially in front of his classmates.

Thinking of this, he grabbed Hou Jie's arm and said, "Wait."

Hou Jie was walking fast, but he was pulled back unexpectedly and staggered. He asked anxiously, "Wen Manzhou, what happened?"

Wen Youcai didn't want to look over there, as if looking too much would dirty his eyes.

He glanced around and finally pointed to a noodle stand not far away and said, "You guys go buy some. I'll go over there and order three bowls of vegetarian noodles."

Hou Jie heard this and said nonchalantly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Noodles have always been there. They have always been there. Let's go and see if Shaobai is real."

Zhu Fei had already walked to Gu Qingqing's stall. Seeing that they were already packing up, he pointed at the meat in the basin beside him and asked, "There's still some meat in the basin. Why are you in such a hurry to pack up? Are you still selling this?"

Gu Qingqing didn't expect to meet a customer just before leaving, so she didn't think much about it. "I didn't intend to sell it, but if you have a bowl to put it in, I will sell it..."

"Qingqing!" Before Gu Qingqing could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by Wen Wuyan, who was leaning on a wooden stick.

Gu Qingqing looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"

As a result, Wen Wuyan looked unhappy and raised his chin in one direction.

At the same time, Gu Qingqing heard the voice of the butcher shouting, "Hou Jie, Wen Manzhou, come quickly."

Gu Qingqing looked back, and when she saw Wen Youcai not far away, she snorted sarcastically!
