Jin Xiaolou returned to his own house, saying that his house could not even block the wind, it was just an extra thatched cottage beside the pigsty.
She had just finished her production and was changing out of her clothes, which were covered in blood and filth.
Jin Xiaolou followed the method that she remembered from when the ancient women came to visit, and stuffed the straw cotton mat into her pants. Then, she went to the firewood house to cook.
In her memories, a dozen flint could be ignited easily, which was something that Jin Xiaolou had done a thousand times a year in the past. But now, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't ignite the wood …
Jin Xiaolou had never felt such frustration before. She, who could easily even solve problems such as high numbers and molecular experiments, was actually facing a pile of firewood.
Squatting in front of the stove, Jin Xiaolou, who had never cried before, had her eyes turn red for the first time.
She did not know what sin she had committed to be able to lead such a life. In the modern world, although she was not a member of society, she was still respected and regarded as an outstanding person in the eyes of others. However, in this backward-looking and ignorant ancient era, she had become the most vulnerable existence.
Jin Xiaolou wanted to become strong, so she rubbed her eyes and stopped her tears.
Ever since she was young, she had done everything well. Even in such a situation, she believed that she would still be able to emerge!
She had this feeling, a feeling that she would never admit defeat.
"The pot isn't hot yet. What are you doing for so long? Was the skin itchy again? "You're asking for it?"
When her first aunt, the Madame Zhou, kicked open the door, she coincidentally saw Jin Xiaolou cat standing motionlessly by the wall. She randomly picked up a willow tree branch hanging by the side of the door and slapped it onto Jin Xiaolou's body.
The willow tree was extremely easy to use, and it was something Jin Xiaolou was used to doing.
Jin Xiaolou took a hit of the whip, a stinging pain appeared on her face. Gritting her teeth, she rubbed her hands together and lit the firewood.
Jin Xiaolou smirked. The moment Madame Zhou's whip arrived, she grabbed the smooth and thin willow branch under the fire. While Madame Zhou was still in a daze, she pulled the willow branch over and threw it into the fire.
"You!" Madame Zhou reacted, she was angry to the point that her face flushed, she did not expect Jin Xiaolou, who had always been obedient and could not hit her head, to actually burn her willow branch, "Little hoof, do you believe that I won't skin you?!"
Jin Xiaolou's eyes were exceptionally bright amidst the flickering flame. She raised her head and stared at Madame Zhou unblinkingly; such a firm and unyielding gaze actually caused the Madame Zhou's heart to involuntarily shiver.
"Third Aunt is pregnant, but she can't be hungry. Could it be that Eldest Aunt is afraid that next year, Third Aunt will give birth to a son that will threaten Big Brother's position and deliberately make things difficult for me by wasting time, causing Third Aunt to starve?"
When Jin Xiaolou said this, Madame Zhou felt chills down her spine, she was truly like a ghost, how could these words come out from her mouth!
But he also looked outside, afraid that Jin Xiaolou would be heard by the others.
A few days ago, when the Madame Liu diagnosed that she was pregnant, the old lady went to the temple to ask the monk and determined that it was a male fetus. Although there were a lot of people in the Jin Family, in Jin Xiaolou's generation, she was only a tiny little boy, and that was the Jin Dacheng that came from the Madame Zhou.
This was a bad thing for the Jin Family, but it was a good thing for the Madame Zhou. Thus, when news of the male fetus spread out in the Madame Liu, the first thing that made them uncomfortable was the Madame Zhou.
The old lady came over from her daughter-in-law, so she naturally knew what Madame Zhou was thinking. She had warned Madame Zhou many times, both publicly and secretly, that if the old lady heard what Jin Xiaolou had said, the Madame Zhou would naturally have a bad ending.
"Perhaps she hoped to starve her third aunt to death, causing her pregnancy to stop and she died due to childbirth …"
"Enough! Shut your stinky mouth and quickly cook your food! " When the Madame Zhou heard that Jin Xiaolou was going overboard, her expression changed. With a stern shout, she turned around and left the woodshed in a hurry.
When Madame Zhou left the room, Jin Xiaolou's expression darkened instantly. She lit a fire expressionlessly, boiled a big pot of porridge with a clear broth, and also fried a plate of garlic gourd.
The only egg was slowly cooked in white water, and carefully peeled off its shell before placing it into the Third Aunt's Madame Liu's porridge bowl. This was Madame Liu's usual practice ever since she was pregnant.
Jin Xiaolou first drank a bowl of rice porridge to fill her stomach, then brought the dinner out.
On top of an old Eight Immortals Table sat Old Lady Jin, on the left and right sat Jin Lei, Jin Shun and the lone child Jin Dacheng, while third uncle Jin Shou and the Madame Liu sat together at the bottom.
His wife and daughter couldn't come up to the table to eat, so he could only stand by the table with a bowl in his hands.
Madame Liu being pregnant was an exception.
"This porridge is getting thinner and thinner. I think you guys want to starve my son to death." Madame Liu finished her egg in two gulps, then seeing that she had lost her appetite, she put down her bowl and spoke in a aggrieved manner.
Just as Madame Wu raised her eyes to look at Jin Xiaolou, before she could even speak, she heard Madame Zhou speak first: "I just passed by the firewood house, and saw Little Lou sneakily holding onto Yuyan's porridge bowl, I think now, Little Lou is probably jealous of Yuyan for having an egg to eat, and secretly ate Yuyan's porridge, and probably spat into the bowl!"
Just as she finished speaking, Madame Liu raised the bowl and stood up to slap Jin Xiaolou on the face.
This sudden heavy blow caused Jin Xiaolou's ears to ring loudly. Her vision turned black, and she fell on the doorstep.
