……
Xingtao Village.
Lin Sanzhu, a woman with a blue kerchief wrapped around her head, was squatting by the door, holding a four or five-month-old baby while he pooped. When Li Sanzhu heard the cries of the boy in the room, she yelled impatiently at the opposite room. "Su Tao! Lazy girl, your brother is crying. Can't you hear it?"
“Su Tao! Su Tao! Wretched lass, are you deaf? Can’t you hear me? Must I beat you with a stick?”
The loud voice disturbed the girl’s sleep. The seven or eight-year-old girl with dishevelled hair stood at the door with sleepy eyes and said angrily, "Can’t you let me have a good sleep? Su Tao, Su Tao, Su Tao, my arse! Why do you keep calling Su Tao?"
Lin Sanzhu hit the roof when she heard this. The audacity of this wretched girl!
“Wretched lass, how dare you rebut me? I’m going to beat you to death!”
After wiping the baby's buttocks clean, Lin Sanzhu placed the baby on a small wooden bed in the yard.
Then she picked up the bamboo stick on the ground, went over to grab the girl, and hit her hard on the buttocks a few times, "Sleep in! Sleep in! Let’s see if you dare to sleep in again! Wretched lass, are you trying to oppose me? Your brother is bawling. Are you deaf?"
“Ouch! Ouch!”
The pain on her buttocks made the girl awake all of a sudden. She opened her round eyes wide and looked at the strange and fierce woman. She said sharply, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
“Who am I? I’m your mom! Wretched lass! You’ve learnt to throw a tantrum! Would it kill you to eat one piece of meat less? Aren’t you still alive?”
Lin Sanzhu swung the bamboo stick vigorously a few more times.
The girl struggled in pain. She tried to resist, but found that her outstretched hands were parched and yellow like chicken feet.
Now, she was dumbfounded. She couldn't even feel the pain in her buttocks anymore.
Why have my manicured fingers become parched chicken feet...
Lin Sanzhu hit her a few more times. Lin Sanzhu stopped when she saw that the girl was not moving. She sputtered and said, "Hurry up, comb your hair, and take your brother out to cut the ragweed. The pig had squeaked several times!"
"What evil did I do in my previous life to have given birth to wretched kids like you? You only eat but don't work. Our family will starve to death sooner or later."
Seeing that the girl was still not moving, Lin Sanzhu pushed her into the room. "Stop dawdling, or your grandma will beat you later! Don't come crying for your dad or me when that happens!"
As soon as Lin Sanzhu finished talking, an old woman's disgruntled voice was heard from the room next to theirs. “Sanzhu! Why aren’t you here to cook yet? Do you expect me to cook? If you still don't come here, your family won’t get to eat any food today!"
Lin Sanzhu shuddered when she heard that. She immediately turned around and said, "Mom, I’m coming. Wretched lass, take your two younger brothers to cut the ragweed!"
Lin Sanzhu ran out in a hurry after saying that, as if she would be eaten in the next moment.
Su Tao gradually snapped out of her thoughts. She looked dumbfounded at the low mud house in front of her and the ground with potholes.
The cries of two kids could be heard intermittently. She grabbed her arm suddenly and immediately hissed in pain.
It hurt. This isn’t a dream.
She was stunned. She suddenly recalled the robotic system sound.
Reverse mode?
Force the hero to become a villain?
Xie Yuntang?
Xie Yuntang will kill Su Tao?
I’m Su Tao?!
Darned, could this be a system and strategy novel which has been popular lately?
But this is simply bizarre!
Who would force the hero to become a villain and kill her? She’s afraid to die too.
This system is probably nuts!
Seeing that Su Tao had not come out after a long time, Lin Sanzhu shouted from the main house while washing the rice, "Su Tao, wretched girl, hurry up and cut the ragweed."
“Su Tao! Su Tao!”
Seeing that no one responded, Lin Sanzhu became angry again. She picked up the fire poker and stomped back into the room.
Having been beaten up just now, Su Tao had become tactful., Su Tao shivered when she saw Lin Sanzhu’s stance. "I'll go right away." She was preparing to run off after she said that.
Su Tao was no match for this woman now, so she had to stay away from her.
Lin Sanzhu saw that Su Tao didn't take the basket and sickle. Apparently, Su Tao was intending to be lazy. Thus, she grabbed Su Tao fiercely, and without saying a word, she slapped Su Tao a few times. "You didn’t take the basket. Are you trying to be lazy? Also, take your two younger brothers along! Can’t you remember what I said?”
Lin Sanzhu hit Su Tao’s arm so hard that it hurt. Su Tao grimaced in pain. She was furious, but she didn't dare to curse Lin Sanzhu.
She reckoned that she would only get another beating if she cursed Lin Sanzhu.
Su Tao was depressed. In all her life of more than twenty years, she had never been beaten.
"Stop glaring! What are you glaring at? Get going, wretched lass. You’re so rebellious today. When your dad comes back, I’ll ask him to beat you with a stick."
Lin Sanzhu let go of Su Tao, and handed the baby over to her. Lin Sanzhu quickly entered the room with a stick and said, "Cry, cry, cry! You cry all the time! Don’t you have legs? Get out and follow your sister to cut the ragweed!"
She was only responded with cries. “Boo...”
“Stop crying, or I’ll beat you to death! Cry, cry, cry!”
After that, the crying in the room became louder. Su Tao knew what was going on inside without even needing to imagine it. Su Tao's eyelids twitched, and she moved away from the room the next moment.
Soon, the woman dragged the barefooted child out and flung him to Su Tao’s side. She sputtered and said, "Go now. If the pig squeaks, I’ll beat you to death!"
Seeing that Lin Sanzhu was about to raise the stick again, Su Tao quickly took the basket in the corner, put the baby in, and ran out with the barefooted child.
After running a distance, Su Tao could still hear the woman's fierce voice. "Hurry up and come back after you cut the ragweed!" Su Tao couldn't run anymore. She felt dizzy. She stopped and bent over, panting.
It took a while for her vision to clear. It was followed by a growling sound. Her stomach was growling.
I’m so hungry.
She touched her stomach, which was flatter than her stomach when she went without food for two days.
The little boy, Su Zhi, next to her started crying again. He showed her his black toes. "Sister, my feet hurt..."
As soon as he cried, the baby Su Tao was carrying on her back also cried. It was simply hellish.
