"Yuehua, I'm sorry for not letting you and the children live a good life."

"Why are you saying this? I and Jinshan are at home, and everything will be fine."

“Well, it will get better, I can still weave bamboo and make money.

It’s just…it’s just that you should not go to the Wu family for the time being. I’m afraid it will put my parents in a difficult position!

We can use the fifty coins the village head sent us to buy some coarse grains for emergencies."

…

Seeing his wife's tired face and still not forgetting to comfort herself, Shen Fugui felt distressed.

He silently swore in his heart that he must do something.

The couple spoke very quietly, but the adobe house was not soundproof, and the two rooms were separated by only a piece of rag as a door curtain. Shen Xinli, who had just calmed down, could naturally hear everything clearly.

"It turns out this family is so poor that they can't even afford to eat, and they have to rely on my mother's family for support."

Chen Xinli sighed silently.

However, the couple get along quite harmoniously and know how to understand each other.

It’s quite different from the parents in my previous life who had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.

The only thing the parents had in common was asking for money.

***

Capital city.

Sunken House.

"Master, do you really want to do this? The lives of our entire family of fifty or so are in your hands!"

The middle-aged woman looked worriedly at the man next to her, who was handsome but had gray hair on his temples.

"Madam, it's not that I want to go against that person, it's just that the people of this world are so innocent!"

The middle-aged man replied seriously.

The woman held the man's hand, snuggled up to him, and was silent for a while before finally speaking:

"Since Master has made up his mind, I will accompany you. However... I just hope that Master will have pity on Yu'er. He is only seven years old. The Shen family cannot be extinct!"

The man pondered in his heart.

My grandfather once said that the Shen family’s ancestral home is still in the northwest, and that my great-grandfather’s lineage is still there.

Over the years, as my father's official position changed, my family moved around and lost contact with my great-grandfather's family. I don't know how they are doing now.

More than ten years ago, when my father heard that the Tartars in the north were invading, he wanted to send someone back to help.

But that person's hand was too long.

If someone finds out, my great-grandfather's family might be in trouble.

Thinking of his father and grandfather's dying wishes, the man felt ashamed, but he did not regret it!

"I've made arrangements, don't worry!"

The woman looked a little relieved, and the couple sat in silence, resting in silence.
