Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 964: Chapter 964: Satisfaction

Zheng Lihong nodded, it was appropriate to inform the family of her hometown. Her mom could come here after getting off work.

Wang Wugu’s real name was Wang Yucai, she had four older sisters, and when she was born, they hoped for a son, but she was another girl, so she was never valued from a young age.

At fifteen, she married a man from out of town. It was said to be a marriage, but it was more like a sale.

This man was carefree; he didn’t want to farm and couldn’t stay at home. At that time, he was always running out every day.

However, he did make money and built a big house at home. For many years, Wang Wugu never got pregnant, until he followed his buddies outside, and then she discovered she was pregnant.

He left for five years. When he returned, he was very happy to see his daughter, and the daughter’s arranged marriage was settled during that time.

He only stayed home for a few days before leaving again.

This time he never came back, so Wang Wugu lived on her own with the child. She saved and scraped to send her daughter to school.

During their most difficult time, her husband’s brother brought his son over. She asked her daughter’s opinion, and her daughter liked the strong lad and agreed. Thus, the two children married.

Her daughter then went to the army, leaving her alone at home.

Because her daughter lived far away, she only returned with her grandson once. They wanted to take her to live with them, but Wang Wugu didn’t want to. In the village, there were nephews and familiar people, and she was still strong, so she didn’t go.

If it wasn’t for Fengzhen, if it wasn’t for the eldest cousin opening her mouth, she wouldn’t have come over to take care of people.

She was in the kitchen making soup alone. Although she only had one daughter, at her age, she heard a lot.

This time she was making meat soup, using wild boar meat; the family had several pounds, and during nursing, it’s good to drink plenty of soup.

The house was clean, clearly a tidy household.

Her room was already prepared, it was downstairs, right next to the young couple, making it convenient to care for the child.

They still made leavened steamed buns, but she made meat-filled buns for Zheng Lihong and Fengzhen.

Just like that, life in Li Yunqiao’s home became regular.

Mrs. Zheng came to see her daughter, bringing a few live crucian carps; these were hard to buy now, especially live ones.

They could only be kept in a bucket, nurtured in the bathroom.

Seeing her daughter’s red face, Mrs. Zheng was truly happy.

”I used to worry about you not having a mother-in-law to take care of you, wondering how you would manage your recovery. Seeing that you are taken care of so well, I am relieved.”

”This Fifth Aunt is really good, very efficient; her cooking and soup are delicious.”

”That’s good to hear. What does your stepmother-in-law do?”

”Mom, I think my mother-in-law is pregnant. My father-in-law is very careful with her, and extremely attentive.”

”She is young, so it’s normal to be pregnant, isn’t it? You just focus on your own life. Remember, don’t get involved in anything; your father-in-law and Hong Lin will handle everything.”

”I know, and besides, my mother-in-law is quite nice too. She uses handmade items for the baby, she’s very crafty, and she visits daily for a chat, worried I might feel lonely.”

”That’s good, get along well.”

”I know, since she treats me well, I will certainly treat her well too.”

”By the way, does your other mother-in-law know you’ve had a baby?”

Zheng Lihong shook her head, ”I don’t know if she knows or if Hong Lin told her. She should know.”

”Whatever the case, just don’t mention it in front of Hong Lin.”

”I’m not stupid; whether she visits or not makes no difference.”

In fact, Liang Caifeng wasn’t even thinking about whether her eldest daughter-in-law had given birth, because her current husband was being investigated.

She was already overwhelmed. How could she think about anything else?

Actually, Li Yunqiao knew about this, but it didn’t affect him much. It wasn’t related to him.

Hong Lin was already working, but he came home for lunch every day. First, the food at home was better, and second, he wanted to see his wife and child.

This noon, seeing his mother-in-law at home, he greeted her warmly.

At noon, Li Yunqiao usually didn’t come back, so there were only a few of them eating at home, with Zheng Lihong and Lu Fengzhen having the same meals, while the rest ate differently.

Because of the abundance of white flour this time, Wang Wugu took the opportunity to make some tasty food for the two of them.

Lu Fengzhen also drank the soup, but hers had some salt added, which made it different from Zheng Lihong’s.

After ten days of nourishment, Lu Fengzhen was rejuvenated, her face glowing, and Li Yunqiao found this irresistible.

Everyone in Li Family Village was busy, the pesticide production had officially started, with the bottling underway.

Wei Kaiyun found it insufficient and went to the city again, locating a printing factory wanting labels made, but sticking them onto plastic bottles was also troublesome. Eventually, the leader at the printing factory advised him to buy some glue. After testing it, it worked.

So, he found thirteen women from the village to handle label sticking.

The villagers from other villages were idling, playing cards, gossiping, while in Li Family Village, you couldn’t see anyone. Adults were busy working and earning, kids were busy studying, and the elders were home looking after the little ones, cooking.

Li Yungui was very pleased with the current village atmosphere, this was the best. In previous years, he had to occasionally resolve conflicts, but this year everyone was peacefully focused on earning. Nobody contended with one another.

However, there was something troubling Li Yungui; the town sent a notice asking him to go to a meeting the day after tomorrow to bring back educated youths.

You wonder what these educated youths can do around this time? So cold, they’d just be idle!

He had shrugged it off twice, but this time there was no excuse not to take them.

Today, he and a few villagers tidied up the old storeroom, knowing educated youths were coming, so during autumn, Li Yunqiao had already built kang beds and divided the room into two parts. Since there are males and females, they need to be separated, right?

They came over to light a fire and did a simple clean-up.

Actually, Li Yungui had prepared quite well; at least there were kang mats on the kang beds.

After burning the fire for a day, the room finally wasn’t so dank.

”Village chief, how many people are coming?”

”How could I know? However many they assign, that’s how many. I just hope none are troublesome, as our village is so harmonious, I don’t want it disrupted.”

Li Yungui had heard about it. The educated youths in Tangjiazhuang had reported the village’s situation to the town; can they have absolutely no issues? As of now, Tang Manyin was overwhelmed as well, he didn’t even have a good New Year.

”Tomorrow, you guys still need to come over and light the fire. The day after, too. Once the educated youths arrive, you won’t have to manage anymore. Otherwise, if they really freeze, it’ll be troublesome for us.”
