The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 376 Why are they so kind? Why don’t they hate themselves?

"Mom, we have learned some medical knowledge from our benefactor's friends these days. Yingxiang has caught a cold. Boil ginger, green onion, coriander and brown sugar in water to drive away the cold!"

Xinghua looked at Yingxiang's pale face, remembered the little recipe that Yuanyuan had taught her, and hurriedly told her about it.

"There are corianders in the village chief's vegetable garden. I'll go pick them now!"

"Qingyou's family is growing green onions, I'm going to pick them!"

"There was a piece of ginger in my kitchen before. I'll go back and see if it's still there!"

After hearing what Xinghua said, the women stood up and ran outside.

"Don't go out alone, go with a few more people!"

Grandma Pangya shouted towards their backs.

A few more women ran out and accompanied them in looking for things.

"Xinghua, brown sugar is a rare commodity. We usually don't want to buy it. Can we live without brown sugar?"

Grandma Xinghua looked at her granddaughter and asked.

"Grandma, it doesn't matter much. It'll be fine if we can find a few other things!"

Xinghua said in a hoarse voice while covering Yingxiang's feet with her hands.

Yingxiang could hear the noises outside, but her eyelids were heavy and she couldn't open them no matter how hard she tried.

Today, after General Cao took them down the mountain, he let her leave on her own.

She had nowhere to go, so she ran to the small village closest to the foot of the mountain. She went from house to house looking for food, but found nothing.

Just as she was about to choose the best house to rest for a night, she heard the women coming back.

In a panic, she hid in a small haystack nearby.

The sky was growing darker and darker. She was hungry, cold and dizzy. In a daze, she heard that Xinghua and the other girls were sent back.

She heard the women cooking and porridge cooking again. She couldn't bear it any longer and felt that if she stayed here for another night, her life would be in danger.

So, she climbed out of the haystack and stumbled to the gate of the ancestral hall. As soon as she pushed the door open, her eyes went dark and she fell to the ground, unable to open her eyes again!

When she heard the women's surprised voices when they found her, she was terribly afraid they would throw her out to die.

Unexpectedly, she was picked up next!

She felt that this embrace was so warm, just like the embrace of her grandmother when she was very young. After her grandmother died, she never felt such a warm embrace again.

Next, she heard the woman holding her anxiously calling the little girl named Pang Ya to pour her some water.

Then, the woman gently placed her on the bed, held her in her arms, and carefully fed her water. She really wanted to open her eyes and see who was holding her!

But she just couldn't open her eyes.

With the help of the women, her body gradually warmed up and was no longer freezing cold!

She felt everyone's anxiety because they couldn't warm her feet!

She wanted to open her eyes and tell them not to worry, that she felt much warmer and that everything was fine!

The little girl named Xinghua suddenly spoke and told everyone a recipe. The women started working for her without hesitation!

Why do they care about me so much? Didn't I want to inform the Jin soldiers before? If I succeed in informing them, they will be in danger!

Why are they so kind? Why don't they hate themselves?

Yingxiang deeply regretted her previous behavior that almost brought danger to these women!

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that before. I shouldn't have tried to deliberately lure the Jin soldiers to discover us!

"Dad, Mom, brother, look, the stranger who was almost harmed by me was so caring and kind to me, why are you so cruel to me! Why? We are blood relatives!"

A string of tears flowed from Yingxiang's eyes!

"Mom, Yingxiang is crying!"

The fat girl who was warming Yingxiang's forehead noticed the tear and cried out.

"Yingxiang, you feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid, we are going to find medicine for you, you will be fine after you drink it!"

Fatty looked at the thin girl and spoke in a softer voice.

Alas! They hated Yingxiang because she wanted to inform the Jin soldiers, but after hearing her life story, they could no longer hate her. Seeing her like this, they immediately felt sorry for her.

A little girl was sold to such a place by her closest relatives. No one knows what kind of torture she suffered. Otherwise, how could she have the heart to seduce the Jin soldiers to avenge her!

"The millet porridge is ready. Do you want to feed Yingxiang some first?"

At this time, a woman came in with a bowl of millet porridge and asked in a low voice.

"Bring it here quickly, give Yingxiang some to warm her up first!"

Fatty Yaniang carefully helped Yingxiang up, let her sit in her arms, and said to the woman who brought in the porridge.

"Pangya, you come and feed Yingxiang. Try it first to see if it's hot!"

Pang Ya's mother motioned to Pang Ya to take the porridge and asked her to try it with a spoonful first to avoid scalding Ying Xiang.

"Mom, this porridge is still a little hot, but I'll blow on it and it will be fine!"

Fatty scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, drank it slowly, and said to her mother.

After saying that, she scooped up another spoonful of porridge, put it to her mouth and blew it carefully for a while, and then fed the porridge into Yingxiang's mouth.

A quarter of an hour later, half of the porridge in the bowl was gone.

Yingxiang drank half a bowl of porridge and felt warm in her stomach. She felt very comfortable and relaxed so much that she almost fell asleep.

But she couldn't bear to give up this warm feeling. She tried but still couldn't open her eyes. She could only try to stay awake and listen to people talking.

"Okay, don't feed her the porridge for now. Leave some space for her to take the medicine later!"

Pang Ya's mother glanced at the porridge in the bowl and whispered to Pang Ya.

Smelling the faint aroma of porridge, everyone's stomachs started growling, one after another.

The room suddenly became quiet, everyone looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing!

"Okay, everyone go out and eat. Fatty and I will stay here to watch over Yingxiang. When you are full, come and take our place!"

Grandma Xinghua looked at everyone with heartache and said kindly.

The women were really hungry, so after agreeing, they took the girls to the yard to eat.

"Aunt, what do you think we should do about Yingxiang?"

Fatty's mother took out a handkerchief and wiped Yingxiang's mouth, then put her in the bed and covered her with the quilt. Then she turned to look at Grandma Xinghua and asked.

"Let her stay with us until she recovers. When she's well, we can ask her what her plans are!"

Grandma Xinghua's eyes fell on Yingxiang's face. She remembered that Xinghua had surrendered herself to the Jin soldiers, killed her parents, and cooked her brother. She couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Although this girl is pitiful, she is really cruel. I don’t know whether saving her this time is a good thing or a bad thing.

If she wants to stay here after she recovers, should we let her stay?

Hey! Let's take good care of her first. If she really wants to stay, we can decide this together.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Xinghua and Pangya walk in, each holding a large bowl of porridge and a big, white steamed bun.

"Grandma, go eat something quickly. Fatty and I will stay with Yingxiang!"

"Mom, you should go eat soon too. Xinghua and I will eat here and look after Yingxiang. Don't worry!"

Seeing this, Grandma Xinghua and Pang Ya's mother, who were sitting next to Yingxiangpu, smiled at each other, helped each other to get up, and after giving Xinghua and Pang Ya a few words of advice, they left the room and went to the yard to eat with everyone else.

"Xinghua, what do you think about our future life?"

Fatty took the bowl and drank half a bowl of porridge in big gulps. Her stomach felt much better immediately. She remembered what her grandmother said in the ancestral hall today. She felt a little confused. They had lost their innocence. Could they really still find a husband?

She looked at Xinghua, wondering what she was thinking.

"Pang Ya, I've made up my mind. I'll wait for my benefactor here. She said she'll come find us when she's done with her work. Then I'll follow her!"

Xinghua thought of Lin Xi and a smile appeared on her face. She said while eating steamed buns.

"I also want to follow my benefactor. I feel that living with my benefactor is so happy. But I am a little worried about my mother and grandmother. I can't bear to leave them behind!"

When Pang Ya heard Xinghua mention Lin Xi, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and her eyes were full of admiration.

"It would be better for us to let mother and the others come with us, leaving this sad place and starting a new life. It will be better for all of us!"

Xinghua finished her steamed bun, picked up the porridge and started drinking it in small sips, looking at the fire in the yard through the window and said.

"I think so too, but I don't know if my mother and grandmother are willing to leave the village. Didn't grandmother say today that she would find live-in sons-in-law for us in the future? Also, I don't know if the benefactor will take us in!"

Pang Ya looked like she was worried about a lot. She used to have a very simple mind, just a simple village girl. After experiencing these hardships, she grew up quickly and thought more and more like an adult.

"The benefactor has already said that if we are willing to follow her, she will take us to Guandong Prefecture. There is no need to worry about this. We will follow the benefactor and do good things for her to repay her for saving our lives. As for mother and grandmother, as long as we tell them that the benefactor needs their help, they will naturally follow us!"

At this point, Xinghua paused. Thinking about finding a husband, she couldn't help but recall the scene of being bullied by the Jin soldiers.

She tried hard to suppress the resentment and humiliation in her heart, exhaled forcefully, and said with a firm face: "I have been bullied by the Jin soldiers many times, and I will definitely not get married. In the days to come, I just want to learn skills from my benefactor and take good care of my mother and grandmother!"

"I don't want to get married either. We are not innocent anymore. If I find a husband, I will definitely be despised. Instead of living a miserable life, it is better to live happily with my benefactor!"

Pang Ya has now become Lin Xi's little fan girl and wants to live with Lin Xi.

The benefactors and their friends are so awesome. She was so envious when she heard them talk about their life in the village.

Pang Ya's eyes were full of longing as she imagined that she could live such a life after following her benefactor.
