My dad went to water the vegetables complaining all the way, he even wanted to ask for help from my uncle, but my uncle ran faster than a rabbit.

I stopped my aunt who wanted to help: "Have breakfast first, then come with me to the back mountain later."

Nowadays, every household is enduring hunger, the wild vegetables and fruits at the foot of the mountain have long been depleted, so we can only try our luck in the deep mountains.

My aunt's knees hurt, I didn't plan to take her originally, but I was afraid she would be bullied at home.

I walked slowly: "Tell me, why did Brother say those things to the third brother?"

My aunt followed closely behind me, she runs in the mountains all year round, so she doesn't feel tired.

"There are few older girls in the village, I was sent away to be a child bride, so they didn't need her."

"Do you want to go?"

She shook her head in fear: "Mom, I can work, I eat very little, please..."

I held her anxious hand: "I won't send you away. But remember, in this family, besides me, don't trust anyone."

In the previous life, my aunt was tied up and sent away by grandpa and uncle, even stripped naked and sent to that dwarf's bed.

My aunt lost all her dignity in the village, and her personality changed drastically since then.

"You say siblings should be united..."

"That's right, siblings should be united, but not with animals like him."

My aunt nodded as if she understood.

After crossing mountains and hills for a day, we only picked three or four pounds of chestnuts.

When we returned, it was already dark, there were two empty bowls on the table, the pot lid was thrown on the ground, and there was not a single grain of rice left in the pot.

My dad was wearing grandpa's clothes, sitting by the charcoal basin warming himself, the whole house was filled with a stench.

I frowned, before I could speak, I saw my uncle coming out with a bowl: "The third brother fell into the cesspool, almost died."

He quickly finished the porridge, licked the edge of the bowl and said unclearly: "Second brother, quickly wash his clothes."

My aunt glanced at me, but this time she didn't move.

I went back to the room, and saw the clothes stained with feces and urine spread out on the bed made of a few broken boards by my aunt, the smell almost made me vomit.

I directly wrapped them in a tattered mat and threw them all outside the door.

"You'll sleep with me tonight."

My dad hurriedly ran out, wanting to pick them up but hesitated: "Mom, what will I wear if you throw them away, I'll freeze to death!"

"Freezing to death would be good!"

All the rations for two days were given to my uncle alone, I was tired and hungry, so I cooked all the chestnuts we picked.

Just as they were cooked, my dad stood at the door with wet clothes, the strong smell still lingering on him: "Mom, I can't get clean, please help me."

I slammed the door shut: "If you can't get clean, don't come back!"

Unfortunately, there were no pesticides in this era.

I really wanted to poison these annoying things to death.
