"...Am I prettier than Fugui?"

He Xiaobao was a little excited.

In fact, as a six-year-old boy, He Xiaobao does not have a very strong concept of beauty and ugliness.

However, to be able to compare with his pampered cousin, He Xiaobao, who has always been regarded as a bastard and brat by the He Tian family and the Tian family, definitely has reason to be happy.

"Of course, our baby is the prettiest!"

As He Tian spoke, he glanced at his son.

She is not bragging, her cub is really good-looking——

The eyebrows are thick and well-shaped, the eyes are pink and phoenix, and the nasal bones of the small nose are very high, which makes the whole small face look very three-dimensional.

His face looks sallow due to malnutrition, but his foundation should be good.

After eating a full meal and supplementing his nutrition, he will definitely be a handsome, er, exquisite little handsome man.

Such a good-looking cub, such a well-behaved son, how could the former He Tian be willing to abuse him?!

What a brain-dead brother-supporting devil. He only cares about dedicating himself to his mother's family, but he even drags innocent children with him!

Oh, by the way, there is also the equally innocent He Erniu.

To this day, his whereabouts are still unknown, and he does not know whether he is dead or alive.

Thinking of her husband who had been missing for half a year, He Tian didn't feel much kindness or longing for her, but instead felt an inexplicable sympathy and pity.

He Tian was thinking secretly, but without stopping, he soon walked out of the forest and returned to the cave.

Here, several groups of people fleeing the famine gathered.

There are villagers from Tianjiawa and some from the neighboring village.

But, basically, everyone in the He Tian family looks familiar, and some of them are still relatives.

Seeing Mr. He Tian holding firewood in one hand and holding a child in the other, acquaintances greeted him one after another.

Although everyone was wondering how He Tian, ​​a woman who only valued her mother's family, suddenly became so fond of her son, the folks in the village even gossiped behind others' backs.

When you meet people face to face, you will still greet them cordially.

Of course, this was also the beginning of the escape, everyone had enough food, and they were not yet exhausted to the point of despair.

When we meet each other, we can still interact with each other as in the village.

When we run out of food, or if we encounter mobs, bandits, plague, or other unexpected events, our relatives will turn against each other, not to mention our neighbors and fellow villagers.

It's not that He Tian is pessimistic, but that reality is cruel.

Seeing these neighbors who can still maintain their enthusiasm, He Tian couldn't help but think, will everyone still be able to maintain this state after a while?

And how many people can actually successfully escape and arrive in Fucheng?!

He Tian sighed secretly, but with a gentle smile on his face, he chatted with others for a few words before returning to the cave where the Tian family was located.

However, the moment He Tian turned around, she was keenly aware of a pair of peeping eyes in a corner.

He Tian remained calm and continued to turn around naturally.

After she turned around, she turned her head to joke with her son and looked around without leaving any trace.

"Eh? Isn't this Qiu Zhaodi from Qiujiabao next door?"

Sure enough, He Tian found a figure hiding its head and tail on the side of a hillside somewhere.

It was a girl, about five or six years old.

The reason why He Tian's family can be recognized at a glance is mainly because this family is unique in Qiujiabao.

The husband’s name is Qiu Tongsuo, and his wife’s maiden name is Qin.

Both husband and wife are extremely patriarchal, but the more they want to have a son, the less likely they are to have one.

The Qin family gave birth to seven children in ten years, all of whom were girls, so they were nicknamed the Queen Mother.

Because she gave birth to a daughter of the Seven Immortals.

Qiu Zhaodi is the fourth of seven daughters, but she is the actual eldest.

The first three daughters were either drowned as soon as they were born, or were thrown into the mountains to be fed to wolves.

When Qiu Zhaodi was born, Mrs. Qin shouted that she would strangle her to death without her mother-in-law taking action.

The midwife couldn't stand it any longer and muttered: "I have committed so many crimes, even if I am destined to have a child, I will be scared away!"

It is not that there are always cases of infant drowning among poor peasant families, but the fact that Qiu Tongsuo's family killed three baby girls in succession was a bit excessive!

To put it bluntly, the midwife couldn't help but complain, and even the neighbors didn't say much either.

Qiu Tongsuo's mother was frightened, and Mrs. Qin was also worried that she had really suffered retribution.

So, he kept his fourth daughter, named her Zhaodi, and raised her up casually.

It's a pity that the name doesn't work. Qiu Zhaodi did not attract a younger brother, but instead brought out a series of younger sisters: Laidi, Yindi, and Pandi.

After giving birth to seven daughters, Mrs. Qin was not yet thirty years old and was already too haggard to look like.

But she still did not give up having a son. No, Qin became pregnant again before Pandi was even a month old.

However, there was a famine, and the whole family had no choice but to go out with their tribesmen and fellow villagers to escape the famine.

Mrs. Qin's health was already broken due to frequent childbirth. Now she is pregnant and has to travel. She is so thin that only her belly is left.

Two days ago, Qiu Tongsuo came to Father Tian with a smile and asked his mother-in-law to rest in the donkey cart, but she was scolded by Mother Han.

Later, Mrs. Han cursed and revealed all the weird things about the Qiu family.

It is ironic to say that Mrs. Han, who also favored sons over daughters, despised Qiu Tongsuo's family.

Because although Mrs. Han was more partial to her son, she did not kill her daughter.

It's one thing not to commit murder, but more importantly, Mrs. Han knows how to settle accounts: a baby girl only needs to be fed for two or three years, and she can work for the family at the age of three.

At the age of five or six, he can become half a laborer.

When you reach the age of thirteen or fifteen, you can get married, and then it will be a huge betrothal gift!

What a great deal!

However, Qiu Tongsuo was just as stupid as his mother, and couldn't even understand such an account.

Now, such an idiot actually has the nerve to take advantage of the Tian family.

What?

Qiu Tongsuo and the others think that the Tian family is stupider than them?!

He Tianshi:......

He was speechless, but after this incident, He Tian was particularly impressed by Qiu Tongsuo's family.

As a girl from such a strange family, Qiu Zhaodi is naturally very pitiful.

but--

He Tian became very keen now. Not only did she lock Qiu Zhaodi in the crowd, she also noticed that Qiu Zhaodi's peeping eyes were actually mixed with sympathy and pity.

Why should she, a child who was almost strangled to death by her own mother and grew up like a weed, sympathize with the He Tian family?

wrong!

Qiu Zhaodi is not sympathizing with He Tian.

To be precise, the object of Qiu Zhaodi's peeping was He Xiaobao, so it was also this child whom she pitied!

He Tian became more and more confused.

Her intuition told her that there must be something wrong with that Qiu Zhaodi!

He Tian secretly suppressed this thought and continued to carry He Xiaobao back to the cave.

As soon as we entered the cave, we smelled a strong aroma of grains.

Tian Yaozong had already grabbed the freshly baked pancakes and ate them to his heart's content, without any thought of waiting for everyone to gather before eating.

Yes, he is the lifeblood of the Tian family. In this family, he is the most important person.

Neither Father Tian nor Mrs. Han will ask Tian Yaozong for anything. Tian Yaozong has long been spoiled.

In his mind, he is the boss of heaven, the second boss of earth, and the third boss of me.

Wait until the slave eldest sister and cheap nephew come back to eat together?

Are you kidding me?

Do you really think that just by saying "good eldest sister", he really regards Da Niu Tian as a respected relative?

That is to say, the Tian family still needs a strong laborer like He Tian who brings his own food and will not be lazy. Otherwise, Tian Yaozong will not let He Tian in at all.

It’s even more impossible to let her come to the table to eat!

Therefore, when they saw He Tian's mother and son coming back, everyone in the Tian family didn't even bother to give a charity out of the corner of their eyes.
