Chapter 96: Tighten Your Belt and Live a Frugal Life

Gao Guilan glanced at her daughter-in-law and scolded her unhappily, "Let you mess up the family? This time I made you homeless, why don't you live your life honestly?"

Li Xiuqin lowered her head uncomfortably, not daring to argue with her mother-in-law.

In any case, Li Xiuqin can finally go back to the Zheng family.

She had been hungry for three days. At dinner, Gao Guilan served her thicker porridge. She also gave her half a pancake as an exception and glared at her unhappily.

"Eat! Is it a merit to go back to your mother's home?"

"Thank you, mom."

Li Xiuqin was moved to tears. Seeing her mother-in-law's rare eagerness, she was almost starving to death in her mother's home for three days. She was dizzy sitting here now.

"Humph."

Gao Guilan snorted coldly and ignored her. She served her daughter a bowl of noodles and handed her a boiled egg.

"Xinyue, eat quickly! You've been so worried about your sister-in-law, but she doesn't appreciate your kindness."

"Xinyue, sister-in-law is wrong. I'll treat you as my own sister from now on. Don't hate her, okay?"

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Li Xiuqin didn't dare to eat anymore and pulled Zheng Xinyue to apologize.

"Sister-in-law, eat quickly!"

Zheng Xinyue felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't she know what she was worried about?

After eating, Zheng Dagui frowned and lit a pipe. Seeing him, Zheng Chenglong asked him with concern: "Dad, are you worried?"

"Your master had a bitter face when he came back from the meeting this time. He was afraid that he couldn't distribute the grain after the autumn harvest. From tomorrow on, our family will tighten their belts and drink porridge for three meals a day. Don't make steamed bread anymore.

Zheng Dagui took a puff of his pipe and expressed his worries. But even if he saved money like this, he was afraid that he couldn't survive this disaster year. After all, the grain reserves were limited, and one bite less would be one bite less.

"Ah? If there is no grain to distribute, won't we starve to death? "

Gao Guilan was anxious after hearing this. She could no longer sit still and stood up to ask her husband.

"That's what I'm afraid of. It doesn't hurt to prepare early."

Zheng Dagui put his pipe on the ground and didn't feel like smoking anymore.

"What can I do? There are more than a dozen people in our family, young and old. We can't all starve to death, right?"

Gao Guilan said in a crying voice.

"Mom, it's okay. The back mountain is our granary. I can go hunting and I won't starve you to death."

Zheng Chengbao patted his chest and said, not taking it seriously at all.

"Chengbao is right. God won't let the blind sparrow die of starvation. As long as there are people, there will be a way. Don't worry about it. "

Zheng Dagui nodded. They lived off the mountain. The mountain was an endless treasure. They were better off than the farmers on the plains. At least they would not starve to death.

Zheng Xinyue returned to her room, locked the door from the inside, and went directly into the space.

She hoped that the crops in the field would grow quickly so that she could help the village get through the difficult times and not watch people starve to death.

The space was filled with pleasant fruit fragrance and a sweet smell in the air.

A large area of ​​green crops was growing well. Corn had already formed ears and would form sticks in a few days.

The vines of the green vegetables were full of persimmons, cucumbers and eggplants.

The tomatoes were larger than those bought on the market. They were bright red and gleaming in the sun. The cucumbers were fresh. Each thorn has a yellow flower on it, and the eggplant's shiny skin looks very rare.

Zheng Xinyue couldn't help cheering and jumping for joy at the harvest. She picked a tomato and ate it directly. It tasted great. She planted it herself, and she didn't expect it to mature in a few days.

In modern times, it would take at least more than a month. Her space is a treasure. The crops grow more than ten times faster than outside, or even more.

She ate four or five cucumbers and tomatoes each. Her stomach was so full that she ran to take a bath in the river.

She could eat fresh vegetables and fruits, but her family couldn't eat them. Zheng Xinyue now wanted to move all the food out to share with the whole family, but how should she do it?
