Chapter 2 Crossing

***

When she woke up again, Xu Jiao had returned to the Xu family.

The Xu family is a small courtyard with three main houses and small auxiliary houses on both sides, all with thatched roofs.

Xu Jiao's room is one of the three main rooms.

Her bed was a large earthen kang built against a corner. The bed was covered with old black cotton batting, and underneath the cotton batting was withered yellow straw.

Surrounded by walls made of stone and mud, there are very small windows. There are traces of water leaking down on the corners of the house when it rains. There is a chest of drawers with broken legs next to the earthen kang. It is probably the best in the whole house.

Furniture.

No, it should be the best furniture in the Xu family.

Xu Jiao searched her brain again and completely clarified the current situation.

She has indeed traveled through time.

I don’t know what era it is now, but the original owner Xu Jiaojiao was a country girl. The farthest place she had been to was the town. She had no experience and she couldn’t find any useful information.

This is Xujia Village. Most people have the surname Xu, and they are basically all members of the same clan who are more or less related to each other.

Xu Jiao's father is Xu Youde, who is already in his fifties. He was widowed in his twenties and had a son with his ex-wife. Later, he married Xu Zhang as a house filler.

After Xu Zhang entered the family, she gave birth to four sons, and finally gave birth to Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao was opening her eyes, looking at the thatched roof and sorting out her thoughts. Suddenly, the door curtain made of watergrass was lifted from the outside.

A group of people came in.

It was the women and children of the Xu family, headed by Mrs. Xu Zhang, who knocked Xu Jiao unconscious by the river.

Half the room was filled with people.

When Mrs. Xu Zhang saw Xu Jiao waking up, she said happily, "My Jiaojiao, you are indeed awake. The doctor just left and said that you were fine, but you just suffered from some wind and cold. He gave you some medicine to dispel the cold.

Mom asked your second sister-in-law to finish cooking. Come on, Jiaojiao Baoer, have a drink."

Mrs. Yuan immediately had a smile on her face and came to the edge of the kang with a dark medicine bowl.

"Okay." Xu Jiao responded calmly.

If you catch a cold, drink some medicine and it will be better soon.

In this backward ancient village of unknown age, it seems difficult to have enough food and clothing, and the medical conditions are certainly not developed. If you can take medicine to get better, you should get better as soon as possible.

Health is the top priority.

However, when I moved my body, it was too heavy.

Although this body is seven or eight years younger than her previous life, the fatness of this body really makes people unable to feel "younger", and instead gives her a feeling of despair.

This is the result of extreme lack of exercise.

She had a heroic appearance in her previous life, with no trace of fat on her body, all the necessary waistcoat lines, strong legs, and perfect back lines. She was a beautiful sight wherever she went.

If she could only be a village girl here, she would have to get back into shape.

While he was pondering like this, he heard Mrs. Xu Zhang curse loudly, "You're a dead man from the second family. Look at your sister, she can't move. You don't know how to feed her with a spoon! You don't have any eyesight at all."

, I eat a lot of food on weekdays, but when it comes to doing work, I feel like I am dead, without using any brain. Are you carved from wood or made from stone?"

Yuanshi didn't dare to reply even after being scolded, and quickly gave Xu Jiao some medicinal soup.

As soon as she picked up the spoon and fed it to Xu Jiao's mouth, Xu Zhang cursed again, "If you don't even blow on the thing that chops off your head, do you want to burn your sister to death? You don't like it.

Sister, just say it straight, I asked the fourth family to feed me, pity my Jiaojiao, your sister-in-law wants to grind you to death before I leave, if I close my eyes one day, your sisters-in-law

Aren’t we going to pinch you to death?”

Yuanshi was a little embarrassed and could only lower her head and blow on the soup.

Behind her, there were several half-year-old children who seemed dissatisfied and wanted to defend Mrs. Yuan, but were afraid of irritating Mrs. Xu Zhang even more, so they endured it.

Xu Jiao's mouth twitched. In this backward feudal era, the ancient patriarchal system was still very prestigious.

Especially for a mother-in-law who has been a daughter-in-law for many years, she is almost a single presence in the family.

This Xu Zhang... seems to be a little too cruel.

Is this the typical vicious mother-in-law written in the book?

Jaw-dropping.

Xu Jiao quickly said, "It's okay, I'll drink it myself."

When she opened her mouth like this, everyone in the room fell silent!

Is this the sun rising in the west?

Usually when Mrs. Xu Zhang opens her mouth to curse, Xu Jiaojiao will add insult to injury and step on her, but today she actually came to the rescue and said she was drinking?

People in the room looked at each other in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine Xu Jiaojiao was selling in the gourd, but they did not dare to speak rashly.

Just like this, you look at me and I look at you.

Even Mrs. Xu Zhang was stunned for a moment before she continued to scold, "Look, you old lady is such a sensible person. What about your conscience? You old lady is so sick and you still know how to be considerate of others. Your conscience has been fed to the dog."

Ah! Sanlang, Wulang, you were fishing by the river at that time. Why didn’t you see your old lady, so that your old lady was deceived into taking a river boat? And Erya and Sanya, I told you to be fine.

Follow the old lady and serve her. I have raised you so much. Why are you working hard all day long, leaving your old lady with no one to help you? As long as you look at your old lady, what will happen?

Whatever it is, you can send someone back to inform me, and you won’t fall into the river... I’ve raised you all in vain, you all don’t worry, you’re all a white-eyed wolf!"

People in the room were scolded so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up.

Xu Jiao felt a pain in her head.

Xu Zhang's fighting ability is really strong. She has the upper hand in the whole room and no one dares to resist her face to face.

Then, Mrs. Xu Zhang shouted loudly, "You still haven't apologized to your old lady?!"

Suddenly, a room full of little Doudings and half-grown teenagers all said in unison, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Xu Jiao:......

Where did this apology come from?
