Seeing her son's spilled the beans, Wang Da Jiao slapped him in the fac
"Shut up, you unfilial son! Ye Ming is your biological brother!"
This unfilial son had just revealed his true identity. How could she, Wang Da Jiao, have Ye Qingshan raised both mother and son while Ye Ming was tied to her?
How could I, Wang Da Jiao, have given birth to such a fool?
Ye Qingshan felt a little wronged after being beaten. He had clearly told the truth. He didn't understand why his mother would beat him and then admit that Ye Ming, this fool, was her biological son.
"What do you mean my husband isn't my biological son?"
Su Xiaowan was stunned, but after thinking about it, it made sense.
In the days since she married her husband, they hadn't really been living like a family. He lived in a drafty cowshed. If she hadn't arrived early and built two walls of straw, he might have frozen to death.
And they had almost no food. When Wang Da Jiao was in a good mood, she'd give him a bowl of noodle soup.
When she was in a bad mood, there was nothing at all. When her husband was hungry, he'd dig up grass roots and eat the bran that Wang Da Jiao didn't want.
Life was even harder than his own, and he didn't know how he managed to survive.
"Wait, what's that government recruitment?"
"What recruitment? You heard wrong!"
Wang Dajiao really wanted to kill Ye Qingshan, his foolish son.
"Husband, I know this. There's a rebellion in Liangzhou City, the closest to us. Plus, the barbarians in the north have been freezing to death with many cattle and sheep, and they've been looting our Dayun border."
"The imperial court is short of soldiers lately, and since we're so close to Liangzhou City, the county magistrate has issued a recruitment order. Any man selected will be drafted into the military. But if your family can afford a ten-liang silver tribute, you can be exempted."
"My father was arrested because our family couldn't raise the ten-liang tribute. The family has lost a pillar of support, and we've lost our income. My mother married you out of desperation to save my brother's life."
From what Su Xiaorong said, it seemed the rebellion in Liangzhou City was serious.
In this cold weather, joining the army would only lead to death.
If I don't become stupid, I might be targeted by the government. I have to make money quickly.
"Okay, you can go sleep in the cowshed."
As for tonight, Ye Ming had to sleep in the inner room. The thatched house was only so big, with two small bedrooms, a kitchen, and a cowshed for storing firewood.
As for toilets, it seemed that in the original owner's memory, no household had them. They just dug a pit on the roadside.
"Ye Ming, if you want to sleep in the inner room, that's fine. But you wanting both rooms is too much! I've raised you for over ten years. Even if you're not my biological child, I'm your adoptive mother."
"Come on, I'm only letting you sleep there for one night because you're my adoptive mother. You've let me sleep there for over ten years."
Wang Dajiao really wanted to kill the little beast in front of him, but she couldn't beat him.
This fool was full of brute force, and he wasn't stupid anymore. He still remembered everything that happened before. If he didn't do what he wanted, he might really kill himself.
"Humph, let's sleep. Qingshan, get our bedding."
Ye Qingshan's face fell when he heard that they had to sleep in the cowshed.
"Why shouldn't it be mother? This is my home. Why should a bastard like him make us live in the cowshed!"
"Just do as you say if you don't want to die." Ye Qingshan reluctantly went into the house to get the bedding.
Ye Ming did not stop them. He just wanted to teach this vicious mother and son a lesson and did not want to kill them.
As for why he wanted to kick them out, it was naturally because Ye Ming was worried. He had just completely fallen out with the two of them. If they lived in the same room, Wang Dajiao might do something cruel to them at night.
After Ye Qingshan finished packing, he stood at the door and looked at Ye Ming with resentment.
"Hurry up and go with me!"
Wang Dajiao gently kicked Ye Qingshan's calf. He then walked out reluctantly with the bedding.
"Mom, do we really have to sleep in the cowshed? It's so cold that people will die!"
"Why sleep in the cowshed? Let's sleep in the kitchen. We'll talk about it after tonight."
After the two of them finished packing in the kitchen, Ye Qingshan continued to ask.
"Mom, he is not stupid anymore. He wants to divide the family. Who will farm the land next year? Where will we get the money? Besides, what if our family is targeted for recruitment?"
Wang Dajiao smiled contemptuously at this.
"This family is not so easy to divide. As long as I don't give in, Ye Ming can't divide the family. If he wants a share of the family fortune, he'll have to pay ten taels of silver and return all the money I've spent on his food, shelter, and shelter over the years."
"Ten taels, isn't that too little, mother?"
"It's a lot. Ye Ming isn't stupid anymore, but earning ten taels isn't easy. If he can't make it, he'll have to work for us. If the government ever needs soldiers, he can fill in. If he can afford it, he can even use the money to exempt you from military service."
...
Inside, Ye Ming briefly made his bed and prepared to see what he could get from this single life point.
"I only get one steamed bun from one point?"
"Can't I earn life points from food sold in the mall?"
Just when Ye Ming was thinking he might starve tomorrow, a newbie special popped up in the system mall.
[A must-have for wilderness survival: a carbon composite bow for just one life point, plus ten alloy arrows.]
Initially feeling a bit hopeless, Ye Ming suddenly saw hope. It looked like there was still a chance of finding weapons in the system mall!
With this compound bow, maybe I can try my luck in the mountains tomorrow when the snow stops.
Su Xiaorong cleaned the room, then stood timidly in front of Ye Ming, holding the white flour bun that he had bitten into.
"Husband, are you really not stupid anymore?"
Su Xiaorong had asked five or six times in just a few minutes. She was really afraid that all this was a dream.
"Do I look like a fool now? By the way, isn't the half white flour bun in your hand delicious? Why don't you eat it?"
Su Xiaorong shook her head.
"I'm not hungry. I'll leave it for my husband to eat. I'll just dig up some grass roots tomorrow morning."
She looked at the white flour bun and swallowed, her stomach making an inopportune rumbling sound.
Su Xiaorong hadn't had a full meal since she married Ye Ming. The copper coins and five sweet potatoes that her mother had secretly given her were snatched away by Wang Dajiao.
"Look, you're so hungry! Just eat what I tell you to."
Seeing Su Xiaorong still hesitant, Ye Ming picked up the white flour bun and stuffed it into her mouth.
But even so, she only took a small bite.
She was afraid that if she finished eating now, she would be hungry again tomorrow.
"Don't worry about not having food. I'll find a way to solve this tomorrow. I promise I won't let you starve."
A hint of hesitation flashed across Su Xiaorong's face, but after a moment, hunger took over.
She took a small bite of the white flour bun, crying as she ate.
"Wow, wow, I haven't had a white flour bun in ages. It would be worth dying for if I could."
Seeing the little girl crying over a bite of white flour bun, Ye Ming gently held her in his arms.
"Pfft, pfft, wfft, why are you dying? A white flour bun is nothing. Your husband will take care of you and lead a good life from now on. You have meat every day, and you can eat as many white flour buns as you want."
"Yes, I trust you, my husband."
As night fell, Su Xiaorong, blushing, snuggled into Ye Ming's arms.
While Ye Ming wasn't paying attention, she hid the remaining white flour bun, intending to give it to him tomorrow.
Perhaps because of the cold, both of them were a little sleepless, and Su Xiaorong spoke first to ease the awkwardness.
"Husband, are you really going to split up tomorrow? It's so cold, if we do, we'll have nowhere to go."
Ye Ming had considered this, but for now, splitting up was the best solution.
If you don't kill Wang Dajiao and his son, and don't want to be sucked blood by them, you can only split up.
"Don't worry about this. We will go to find Muramasa tomorrow morning. There should be families frozen to death in the village. We will live there first. After this winter, your husband will build you a big house."
Ye Ming is still very confident about this. With the system, it is much easier to get food. After just trying, Ye Ming already knows roughly how to get living points.
It's nothing more than taking corresponding actions for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Listening to Ye Ming's beautiful words, Su Xiaorong's heart beat faster and faster. Her face was red, almost bleeding, but it was too dark to see.
"My husband, I..."
"We haven't had our wedding night yet..."
