Chapter 841 - 840: Isn’t This a Disgrace?
Including Old Granny Zhang, there were seven children in the house crying for food.
The Zhang Family was already struggling, and now with so many more mouths to feed, everyone had to eat. Lady Zhao had a child every year and had no proper nutrition. Her health was half deteriorated, and most of the time, she lay on the bed.
The entire burden of the family was on Zhang Dabao’s shoulders.
Zhang Dabao used to worry about not having a son, and now he worried about having too many children, unable to feed them.
All year round, scraping by in the fields, by the end of the year, during the New Year, others could still see some meat at the table, but the Zhang Family, on New Year’s day, considered it fortunate if each person got a bowl of dry rice.
This was all thanks to Old Granny Zhang. Although she was young, she was indeed diligent, doing housework, taking care of her younger siblings, and serving Lady Zhao.
When she had a little free time, she planted some vegetables in front of the house and behind it so that there could be a little more on the dining table.
Every day, she got up before dawn to work and only lay down late at night.
It could be said that most of the children in the Zhang Family were raised by Old Granny Zhang single-handedly.
Old Granny Zhang worked day and night; the washing and scrubbing at home were all done by her.
