It was the first time that her married daughter came to live in the family. Zhu Lihua was happy but also worried.

Reluctant to let her son-in-law go, she earnestly warned him, "Be careful when you're out there alone, and don't trust others easily. As for Qingqing, don't worry about her. Mom will take good care of her."

Zhu Lihua had heard a lot of rumors about the outside world before.

Many people never come back after they leave home. She never cared about it at that time. Until now, the one who went away has become her own son-in-law. She felt that her heart was like being fried in a frying pan. She felt very uncomfortable and was afraid that something bad might happen to him!

Yang Liansheng had traveled far away countless times, but this was the first time that so many people worried about him.

I was deeply moved.

"Mom, is there anything you need me to bring?" he asked softly.

Those who understand understand what this means.

Tears welled up in Zhu Lihua's eyes. She said slowly, "No, just come back and be well. I bought some food in the county town some time ago. Our family is not short of food!"

It is not easy to find food outside, and you have to look at other people's faces at every turn. Zhu Lihua does not want to trouble her son-in-law.

In the final analysis, they did not take the drought seriously. After all, water resources were extracted in their own village, so what was there to worry about?

"Ahem..." Old Lady Lu coughed twice and came closer, saying awkwardly, "Liansheng, this is your uncle's money. I'm asking you to bring a hundred kilograms of food. It's okay. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it later."

After all, they don't know what the price of food is in other places now.

Yang Liansheng took it and said with a smile, "Grandma, leave this to me..."

He had thought about it before coming. He could refuse the villagers, but he could not refuse his own relatives. After all, they would be the ones who would come to him if something really happened.

He knows this principle very well.

…

Qin Zegang on the other side was extremely anxious.

Turned the clothes in the bedroom upside down.

The noise was so loud that it attracted Wang Xinmei, who was cooling off outside the courtyard, into the room.

She cracked melon seeds and said, "What are you doing, Gangzi? You don't want this house anymore, just tear it down..."

Qin Zegang's strange eyes fell on the handful of melon seeds in her hand, frowned and asked, "Wife, where are my last two months' wages? I remember putting them in this closet. How come they're gone?"

His eyes were fixed on Wang Xinmei.

The latter was stunned for a moment and said as a matter of course, "You said it was the last two months. Are we starving every day? Your salary would have been gone long ago..."

The slight contempt in the tone hurt Qin Zegang's heart.

He said in a deep voice, "This year is different from the past. Haven't you noticed that everyone is stockpiling food? It's no longer available in town. Liansheng is going on a business trip this time, so we should have someone bring some back so we're prepared!"

If Qin Zhimu hadn't reminded him, he would probably still be worried about buying food.

Now is a great opportunity.

But all the money in the family was spent by this woman.

Qin Zegang sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. Then, an idea flashed through his mind and he said, "Xinmei, don't you have some money saved? Use it to buy food first, and we'll make up for it later!"

Even though he said it so seriously, Wang Xinmei didn't believe it.

She smiled and climbed onto her man's shoulders, saying in a sweet voice, "This is nothing, I don't know what you are worried about. At worst, mom and the others are here, what are you afraid of!"

She just couldn't believe that the old couple would be willing to starve their precious son to death.

How could Qin Zegang not understand such a straightforward rejection?

His face instantly fell.

In a low and unfamiliar tone, he said, "It's up to you!"

He doesn't want to take care of this family anymore.
