Including Old Granny Zhang, there were seven children in the house crying for food.
The Zhang Family was already struggling, and now with so many more mouths to feed, everyone had to eat. Lady Zhao had a child every year and had no proper nutrition. Her health was half deteriorated, and most of the time, she lay on the bed.
The entire burden of the family was on Zhang Dabao's shoulders.
Zhang Dabao used to worry about not having a son, and now he worried about having too many children, unable to feed them.
All year round, scraping by in the fields, by the end of the year, during the New Year, others could still see some meat at the table, but the Zhang Family, on New Year's day, considered it fortunate if each person got a bowl of dry rice.
This was all thanks to Old Granny Zhang. Although she was young, she was indeed diligent, doing housework, taking care of her younger siblings, and serving Lady Zhao.
