Dressed Like a Cute Little Lucky Bag Chapter 393

Chapter 393 A Tragic Day 1

During the time she was back at her parents’ home, the little bit of meat she had managed to raise at her husband’s house was now all gone with hunger.

When the meal was almost ready, the two sisters-in-law went to call their parents-in-law and the men to get up and eat, and then fetched water for them to wash.

In Lao Chen's family, these chores are done by the men themselves. They just need to boil water and then cook.

But when you get to Old Li's house, you have to do what a woman should do.

In Lao Li's family, men are the sky. Except for the work in the fields, everything else is done by women.

To Old Lady Li, her daughter-in-law, daughter and granddaughter were like animals and could be beaten and scolded at will.

As long as they don't kill or cripple them, it's fine. After all, if you kill someone you will be caught and punished with your life.

If someone is crippled, he will not be able to work, and it is not cost-effective to keep him alive and eat for free all day long.

Seeing Old Lady Li walking towards the kitchen, Mrs. Li quickly scooped hot water from the ladle into the basin: "Mom, wash your face."

My hand shook and I added too much hot water, making the water a little hotter.

"hiss!"

Mrs. Li pulled her hand back as if it was on fire when she touched her, pinched her arm and cursed: "Are you dead? Don't you know how to pour water?! Don't you know how to test the temperature? Are you trying to scald me to death?"

Mrs. Li did not dare to argue. She stood by with her head lowered, not daring to hide, because if she did she would only invite an even more severe beating.

The eldest brother and nephews who were washing their faces at the side did not join in the discussion. They looked indifferent, as if they saw nothing.

Because Old Lady Li said all day long that women need to be beaten many times to be obedient. Only when they are scared and dare not say a word, will they do things at home obediently. Otherwise, their hearts will be wild all day long.

When eating, only the old couple and the men and boys in the family can sit down to eat, while the other wives and daughters have to eat while standing.

And unlike the Chen family, the Li family's old lady was in charge of cooking and distributing the porridge. The men scooped a large spoonful of the thick porridge from the bottom of the pot, with distinct grains of brown rice on the surface, and then distributed two steamed bread to each person.

"My dear grandchildren, eat more!" Old Mrs. Li smiled lovingly at her grandchildren.

Only by eating more can she grow strong and carry on the Li family's bloodline.

The women's bowls had clear soup, and they could clearly count the grains of brown rice at the bottom of the bowl. They only had one steamed corn bread to fill their stomachs.

The little girls were even more pitiful, as they only had half a steamed bun.

In the eyes of Old Lady Li, they were all money-losing goods that would be married off sooner or later, so eating less would reduce the loss.

If you ask for more gifts when you get married, you might be able to make some money, and then you can go to your husband's house to ask for some money from time to time. Isn't that how you live your life bit by bit?

There are only these two dishes for breakfast at Lao Li's house. Not only is there no oil or water, but even more salt is not allowed.

When Li Chunhua first came back to eat, she was a little uncomfortable. Her mouth was full of food from Lao Chen's house, and she found it hard to swallow.

But now I can eat with big mouthfuls and enjoy it, because I wake up hungry in the middle of the night, and everything tastes delicious when I’m hungry.

But this little bit of food can only make you half full, and without oil or water it won’t satisfy your hunger at all.

After dinner, we had to go to the fields to work. It was hard work and we were starving before noon.

After working for a whole morning, I could still only eat half full at noon.

After dinner, the women don’t even have time for a nap. They have to wash dishes, do clothes, and collect firewood. Only then can the men lie down at home and take a nap.
