In mid-October 1970, in the Jianghuai region, Shitou Brigade, Tianshui Village.

At daybreak, Yun Yuan was awakened by repeated knocks on the door.

"Yun, Dahai has already gotten up. Why are you still staying in the room, you lazy woman? Hurry up and make breakfast." It was the voice of Sun Dahai's mother, Sun's mother.

The original owner was teased by her three step-sons yesterday. She was poured with a basin of dirty water and locked in the kitchen for two hours. No matter how she shouted, no one outside opened the door.

Finally, it was time for dinner, and Sun's mother came back from chatting before opening the door for her.

It was already dark at that time. The grandson's mother just said lightly that the children were ignorant. Not only did she not blame her three grandchildren, she also complained that the original owner had not prepared the meal on time, saying that she did not earn any money at home all day and could not even prepare the meal on time.

The original owner cried to Sun Dahai, but Sun Dahai said that his mother was old and had a hard time, and he was out making money during the day and couldn't take care of the family, so he asked her to be more considerate.

"The five children lost their mother and are a little naughty. If there is anything wrong, just teach them. They were not like this before. It was only after you came to your home... Spend more time with them. They are all very well behaved and are not bad kids."

The original owner had no one to support him, so he had to swallow his anger, but Yun Yuan couldn't do that.

Yun Yuan turned over and continued to sleep. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get asked to go out and make breakfast for the weirdo family.

【Xiaobai, help me raise my body temperature. 】

【Okay. 】

Yun Yuan felt as if her body was soaked in hot water. She did not feel any discomfort at all. She felt warm and comfortable.

Outside, Sun's mother went to the chicken coop to pick up eggs. Only she was allowed to pick up the eggs at home. The original owner was not allowed to touch them because Sun's mother was afraid that the original owner would steal them and eat them secretly.

The original owner had been married to Sun Dahai for a year, but she couldn't even have egg soup. Her face was pale and she was skinny. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was being treated unfairly, but Sun Dahai pretended not to see it.

Oh, they still sleep in separate rooms and haven't consummated their marriage. The original owner's five stepsons are smart. Each of them finds a way to get Sun Dahai to accompany him at night. It just so happens that Sun Dahai is still obsessed with his ex-wife, so the original owner is left alone in the empty room.

Let me first introduce Sun Dahai’s five children.

The eldest son, Sun Yi, is ten years old this year and is in the fourth grade at the village primary school.

The second son, Sun Er, is eight years old this year and is in the second grade of the village primary school.

The third son, Sun Yi, is seven years old this year and is in the first grade of the village primary school.

The fourth son Sun Si and the fifth daughter Sun Wu are twins, a boy and a girl, who are 5 years old this year. They are usually taken care of by their mother. The original owner took care of all the housework and went to the fields to earn work points.

When Sun's mother came back from picking up the eggs, she saw that Yun Yuan hadn't gotten up yet, so she cursed, "Bah, a hen that doesn't lay eggs, lazy bastard, you still don't get up even when the sun is shining on your butt. You're really not a real mother, you don't care about your child at all..."

Sun Dahai was woken up by the noise. He opened the door and put on his coat: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"It's Yun's fault for not getting up to make breakfast." Sun's mother lowered her voice a little: "You have to go to work in the factory, and the three children have to go to school. She is a lazy person who doesn't make money, so she was teased by the children. She even lost her temper and refused to make breakfast."

Sun Dahai thought of the wet look he saw when he got home yesterday. His eyes flickered and he deliberately said loudly, "Mom, I'll do it."

"How can a grown man like you enter the kitchen?"

"Nothing, just cooking. It doesn't matter who cooks it."

Yun Yuan sneered. This was Sun Dahai's usual tactic. After Sun's mother hit the original owner with a stick, he would give the original owner a sweet treat, which included a few meaningless words and a little favor.

One played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, and they controlled the original owner completely, making him willing to contribute to this family.

Sun Dahai listened to the noises in Yun Yuan's room. Usually the original owner would come out at this time, but now there was no movement from Yun Yuan at all.

His face darkened and the pots and pans clanged loudly. The original owner's room was right next to the kitchen, and he deliberately prevented people from getting a good night's sleep.

"I'll do it." Sun's mother hurried into the kitchen and took over the work from Sun Dahai. She quickly put a bowl of rice porridge in the pot, and then put the three eggs she had just picked up and the three eggs she had saved two days ago into the pot.

One for her, one for her son, one for each of the three older grandsons, and half for each of the two five-year-olds.

Grandma added firewood to the stove and grumbled to her son who was washing up at the door: "I thought it would be better if I found you a wife, but I didn't expect you couldn't even have a hot meal. I'm old now, what are you going to do in the future? If you ask me, women who don't obey should be beaten..."

Sun Dahai spat out a mouthful of water, "Mom, have you forgotten about Xiang Qing?"

Wu Xiangqing was Sun Dahai's previous wife. She ran away two years ago because she couldn't stand the beatings and scoldings from his mother. Sun's mother couldn't stand taking care of two three or four-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, and doing housework alone, so she arranged for him to marry a second wife.

Hearing Sun Dahai talking about his previous daughter-in-law, Sun's mother felt guilty: "Who told her to be lazy and not take care of the children? She dresses up all day long and doesn't look like a mother at all. If I don't say anything, who can I blame?"

Sun Dahai had feelings for Wu Xiangqing. He put away his toiletries and said, "Mom, Xiangqing gave birth to five children for me after all. You should say less."

"It's been two years and you still miss her." Sun's mother was angry: "What woman doesn't give birth to children? She is so precious."
