Chapter 1693: Chapter 1090: Heroine of the Republic 64 (5000+)_2

The same thing happened in Angel’s maternal home, but Angel handled it the same way as Anna.

Leaves turn yellow bit by bit, and isn’t the human heart also gradually becoming cold and hard?

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. The more books Angel and Anna read, the more gossip they see, the more they can keep a clear head.

An Yi is quite satisfied with their performance, fearing indecisive and lingering people. If either of them was to use her belongings to support them, she would not treat them the way she does.

As for An Hu, he is even more pitiful. He has never seen his father over the years, and even though his stepmother’s maternal family lives in Dingyuan County, given An Hu’s changes over the years, they might not even recognize him.

Because An Hu has grown a lot over the last two years, at seventeen he has surpassed 1.8 meters, and due to puberty, his appearance and voice have undergone qualitative changes, even a small mustache sprouted. With a loud and rough voice, it’s hard for anyone who isn’t close to recognize him, especially his stepmother’s maternal family. They’ve seen him only a few times, with different names and different surnames, they wouldn’t think in that direction even upon meeting.

An Ran and Anning have followed her since childhood. Mom died, news says dad remarried and satisfactorily had a son, hah, how could he possibly have a son?

An Yi had long ago sterilized their real father, so he can’t have a child in this lifetime. As for this son, only the sky knows whose child he really is.

Perhaps this is the greatest revenge on him. Right now he doesn’t know, but in the future? Will he never know for his whole life?

How is that possible?

So sooner or later, he will know he raised another man’s son, and for this son, abandoned his own flesh and blood.

Karma is not absent, it’s just a matter of time.

Being a woman in this era is actually quite pitiful, but compared to peacetime, women in wartime are even more pitiful.

Because An Yi can grow cotton in space, she uses it to make menstrual pads every month. After use, she burns them, and when the amount is small, she uses better quality toilet paper. This time, she bought quite a lot of soft and clean toilet paper in Su Country, enough for her daily needs.

To compare, Angel and Anna save a lot by using the toilet paper An Yi bought, which is already a blessing for them. It’s better than using plant ashes for menstrual pads, wrapped in cloth strips that are repeatedly washed and reused. They suffered quite a bit like this in the countryside at their maternal home.

Only after arriving at An Yi’s did they enjoy the convenience of toilet paper. As for cotton, they dare not even think about it. Naturally, An Yi didn’t plan to give them this either; she felt it would be wasteful, toilet paper is sufficient for their daily needs.

The future of An Ran and Anning will only get better under her creation, so when they grow up, sanitary pads may be available.

After finishing work and returning to the county, An Yi splits the cow head in half, cleans it, and stews one half. With various sauces, she cooks it for two hours until it’s tender and soft, picking the tender parts for the daughters, and the rest she lets them wrap in Zi Su leaves, lettuce leaves, cabbage leaves, dip in garlic paste and chili sauce, and pop it into their mouths. Ah, it’s delicious!

"Isn’t eating meat this way particularly satisfying?"

Seeing everyone eating with greasy mouths and satisfied faces, An Yi feels especially happy. Especially An Hu, this young man, at a time when he’s growing tall, An Yi gives him most of the food. He’s too shy to eat it, even wants to share, but the elder aunt and younger aunt scold him.

"Eat, eating tall and strong is necessary to protect this whole family."

"Yes, Hu Zi, it’s not that we want to give you pressure, but you are the only man in our family!"

"We are women, we eat less, you as a man eating more is rightful,"

An Yi also gives him a heads-up, "Not everyone can join the army, it requires a physical examination, selecting those with good physical stamina. Since our family has the conditions to provide you with adequate nutrition, you don’t need to be polite here. We’re all family, acting distant makes us seem estranged. Do you even consider us as your own family?"

"Mommy An, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I won’t act like this anymore. You’re right, we’re all family, we shouldn’t act this way."
