Along the way, the irregular arrangement of thatched huts and earthen houses, Xiashan Village, although nestled by mountains and water, remained a remote and impoverished village. The local people's utilization of the mountains and water was limited to meeting their basic needs. To build a house, they would go up the mountain to cut down a few trees to bring back as beams; when there was no rice for cooking, they would go up the mountain to find some wild vegetables and fruits, or fish a couple of small fish from the river to cook. The feudal peasant economy still relied on farming, and most villagers struggled to make ends meet with their three-tenths of an acre of land. Only a few landlords were relatively wealthy.,Of course, from the outside looking in, the Zhu family seemed to be doing alright. Compared to the common thatched-roof mud brick houses found in the village, the Zhu family at least had a traditional wooden structure compound. However, in reality, the Zhu family was worse off than most ordinary families in the village.,“Sister-in-law, no boy child is truly not rambunctious, it's better to be tough. Don't scold little Zhuzhi.” Zhang shi, the third aunt, who was washing dishes by the well in the courtyard, looked at Zhuzhi with a hint of envy and persuaded Chen shi to calm down. Chen shi was only just thirty years old, but she had only one daughter, Zhu Pinyu, who was a year younger than Zhu Ping'an. So she envied Chen shi having two sons.”。
