There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 433 Don’t you want to be my girlfriend?

 “Huh, Zheng Xinyue, you have no future.”

Zheng Xinyue tried hard twice, but each time she was reluctant to tear it apart. Finally, she got angry and cursed herself, stuffed the letter back into the envelope and put it in the kang cabinet. After thinking about it, she put it at the bottom of the cabinet out of sight and out of mind.

This week, things were basically calm in the village. Zheng Xinyue took the children into the mountains every day to collect herbs, and brought back a hare every two days. This made the villagers feel irritated, thinking that the mountains were full of hares, and anyone could do it. You can catch it wherever you go.

 Looking at how Zheng Xinyue and her children were able to collect so many medicines, since they could exchange money, people would naturally be interested.

The Wang Jinzhi family next door was the first to be tempted. There was only a low wall between the two families. Whenever Zheng Xinyue brought the hare home, he would drool with envy.

On Sunday, the three brothers of the Zheng family went into the mountains to cut down trees with their axes. Zheng Xinyue and her five children followed the three brothers as they walked into the mountains talking and laughing. Zheng Chengbao looked very draggy while carrying the ax. When he saw his sister carrying a basket on her back, he pulled her over. He helped her carry it, and he also took the small backpacks for several children.

Children were free from restraints and jumped up and down chasing butterflies and dragonflies, their childlike laughter echoing in the mountains.

 “It’s better to be a child, and you will be happy when you are full.”

Zheng Xinyue looked at the five children and said to her third brother with a smile. If she could, she would want to go back to her childhood, but it was not that in this era, the feeling of starvation in childhood was not pleasant.

“Little sister, don’t catch rabbits anymore. Haven’t you heard that rabbits bite people when they are anxious? Also, Third Brother’s salary is about to be paid, so don’t come to the mountains to collect herbs in the future. You will be too tired and thin.”

Zheng Chengbao glanced at his sister. She had finally put on some weight after returning from Zhang's house, but she had been losing weight in the past few days.

 He felt distressed, thinking that his sister was tired from going into the mountains to collect medicine.

Zheng Chenglong walked in the front. From the day he proposed to separate the family until now, he has said very little and always has a heavy look in his eyes.

Hearing his brother's words, he turned around and advised his sister distressedly: "Little sister, the eldest and second brothers will have expenses in ten days. Our family will not be short of money in the future, so you don't have to go into the mountains to collect herbs."

 Don't say that the family is not separated now, even if the family is separated, he still has to take care of his parents and younger sister. This is his responsibility as the eldest son.

“Eldest brother, third brother, I like to collect herbs. When I see the yard covered with the herbs I collected, I feel a sense of accomplishment.”

Zheng Xinyue was touched by her brothers' concern and lied to them with a smile.

"I heard that there were children starving to death in the first team, and there were also children in the second team. All the relatives at home came out to borrow food."

Zheng Chenghu said dullly. In fact, he heard this from his daughter-in-law. Her family sent someone to tell Li Xiuli that she would starve to death if she ran out of food.

 The daughter-in-law cried secretly at night while she was covered. There was still a month left before the autumn harvest and many families could no longer hold on.

“I can’t control that much. We don’t have much food in our house. There are also people in the village who have no food. In the first two days, I saw my second uncle snatching corn from the uncle’s house, and my old lady scolded me behind.”

Zheng Chenglong frowned and sounded a little irritated. Li Xiuqin had also been crying with him in the past two days, saying that her parents were starving to death and she still had eggs to eat. It was so unfilial and so on. It was annoying him to death. It was useless to scold her and just get out. Knife meat, be honest for a moment, and then continue.

“I guess I’ll have to borrow food soon. If I don’t try to pack some game and secretly send it to me, the food-borrowing mother will definitely not agree.”

Zheng Chenghu whispered to his eldest brother that they were the only ones having this trouble now. After all, it was not good for his father-in-law to care about him at all.

Zheng Xinyue followed behind and listened, thinking about the books she had read. Although this is a parallel space and many things are different, the commonality is that there is less food and starvation.

 At this time, whoever has food is meat in the eyes of wolves and will become the target of public criticism.
