Chapter 13 - 013 She Won’t Humble Herself to Please Everyone

"Ah, that's true, Shitou has had a tough few years."
Zhou Xiuhua thought of this son and her face was truly full of heartache!
According to what her son said, knowledge seemed to have regressed by thirty years!
At that time, all people did was give birth over and over, where was there any talk of contraception?
The poorer people were, the more children they wanted to have. By the time Xiao Wu was born, her body was really not in good shape, because she lost a fetus before Xiao Wu, didn't recover well and then accidentally conceived Xiao Wu, suffering throughout the pregnancy. Back then, Xiao San was just a few years old, nothing but a five-year-old child, who would rather go hungry than not feed her.
At that time, even the mountains were bald, with grass, wild vegetables, tree bark—anything that could be swallowed, actually ended up in people's stomachs. Beyond Qingfeng Mountain was just primeval wilderness.
Xiao San, who was only seven years old, had the heart to venture into it alone! There are still ferocious animals in that mountain to this day, but at that time, Xiao San was lucky; he actually found a place where he occasionally caught some wild rabbits or wild chickens for the family to eat secretly!
This is what kept her and Xiao Wu alive, because the entire Qingshan Team was poor, Xiao San was very shrewd to cook the meat in the deep mountains before bringing it back, thus avoiding a lot of trouble!
In that era, if it weren't for Xiao San's bravery and courage, how could the Old Xie Family have seen the prosperity it has today?
