The sweat ran down her forehead and body like a winding stream, making her body feel very uncomfortable, as if it was going to be heated up by the sun.
“Er Ni’er, after this mu of land is done, we’ll go back and rest. Mother is too hot, let’s go to the ground to rest in the shade first, you break up the rest of the corn. ”
The woman’s voice came from beside her ear, and Xia Ling took a look.
Wearing a straw hat and a long-sleeved coarse clothes, the woman was also very hot from the sun. The sweat ran down her face, and her face was red.
“Okay. ” Xia Ling did not say much and just nodded.
She was new to this world, so it was good that the woman went to rest. She could quietly receive the plot and memories without being disturbed by others.
The woman was much more relaxed now that she had words.
In the late summer days, the corn was ripe all over the ground. The most tiring thing was to dig the corn. After breaking the corn one by one, they had to dig it out with a hoe, throw it into bundles, and drag it to the ground to carry it home.
Xia Ling looked forward and saw a man in a short-sleeved shirt working hard. He was wearing a straw hat and holding a hoe, digging the ground bit by bit. It was so hot that he did not stop until noon when everyone else had gone home… …
Breaking the corn, he quietly received the plot and memories.

This was country Z in the 1990s.
The original owner of Xia Ling’s book this time was called Su Ying. She was a girl from a family in the countryside in the 1990s that prioritized boys over girls.
Su Ying was ranked second in the Su family. He had an older brother above him and a younger sister below him.
Su Ba was a traditional man in the countryside. He had a lot of strength, but his personality was dull. He couldn’t do anything with a stick. Usually, he liked to squat at at the door of his house and smoke a pipe while listening to the other people in the village Brag.
Mother Su was a woman who valued sons over daughters. She was also a little cunning.
She loved her son the most, Su An.
Because she gave birth to a son on her first birth, she was able to stand firm in old Su’s house. Her back was straight as well.
Later on..
Despite the family planning, she still wanted to give birth to two more sons. Who knew that she would give birth to a daughter for the rest of her life.
Mother Su was unconvinced and still wanted to give birth. However, in that era, the Women’s Federation was very strict. Mother Su was pregnant with three children and hid everywhere. Finally, she gave birth to three children.
The son that she had gone to the health center to check was born differently. He didn’t have a son anymore and became a money-losing commodity.
Because of the third child, mother Su was severely criticized by the director of the Women’s Union and fined a large sum of money by the town. The Su family had always been tight-lipped. Once they paid the fine, they could not even open the pot… …
Father Su took three to four mu of land from the village. The family planted more than ten mu of land. Every day, they would spend some time in the fields. Only then did their days slowly pass.
It was strange to say that in the Su family, the first child was a son. The second and third children were daughters. The third child had made mother Su suffer so much and the Su family had fined so much money. No matter what, she should be the eldest daughter who doted on the eldest son the most and the least.
However, mother Su did not have a mother-in-law on her head. When she gave birth to the third child, other than the two men, there was only six-year-old Su Ying in the family.
Men were the pillars of support and the heavens. No matter what, they could not serve women to do such terrible things.
Hence, from that year onwards, Su Ying was the one who did all the work in the family.
Su Ying was a filial and quiet girl, just like her name, shadow.
Mother Su was not a hardworking person to begin with. With the second daughter taking over, the third daughter… … was sweet-talking …
Father Su and mother Su were happy to be coaxed, so naturally, they placed her on the top of their hearts. They did not want her to do the dirty work, so what about feeding the pigs and cleaning the feces at home?
This was all within Su Ying’s responsibility!
Speaking of parents, it was one thing if they were biased, but ten fingers weren’t even the same length. How could they expect them to treat every child equally well?
