After this incident, Lin Rui never dared to challenge his family's stomach with modern ready-made foods again. That day, except for Feng Zhenniang, Qingqing, Cao'er and her son, and Lin Rui who ate meat porridge, everyone else was infected.

Later, even if Mu Tou and Niu Niu kept pestering him to eat meat, he didn't give in. He just cooked the breakfast and dinner meals into dry rice, and cut a lot of bacon and pickled meat into it to cook together. After the rice was cooked, when the pot was opened, the aroma of meat filled the air, and every grain of rice was covered with oil and water. The salty and fresh taste filled the air when he took a bite.

Seeing her son's wasteful behavior, Feng Zhenniang was so angry that her eyes widened: "Rui'er, you're such a spendthrift! There's no way the food is enough for us to eat like this!"

Lin Rui always has a good attitude when admitting his mistakes: "Mom, I know." Will he dare to do it again next time?

Eating dry rice is much more satisfying than drinking thick porridge. I add some pickled vegetables that I eat every meal, and then the whole bowl of rice goes down my stomach.

People are like sponges. When they have nothing to eat, they are dry and skinny. Once they have something to eat, they become more energetic, just like a sponge that has drunk enough water.

After two full meals, the Lin Rui family felt a change in spirit and energy, and their legs and feet felt much stronger when traveling. This caused the Lin Pingmao family, who were chasing behind, to complain bitterly. After their old ox became incapable and was killed, they had to take turns pulling the oxcart for transportation. It was obvious how much labor it took!

At this moment, the young wife who was following behind screamed: "Look, is that person behind us chasing us?"

Everyone turned around and saw a large group of skinny disaster victims on the road they were passing through in the wilderness. They were holding wooden sticks in their hands and rushing towards them with bloodshot eyes. The long period of hunger made these people unable to even jog. They staggered all the way as if they were holding on to their last breath to rush here.

"Get your weapons!" Lin Rui was the first to pull out an iron rake from the ox cart, which was one of the most expensive security measures in their family.

The most convenient thing for Sanliang to use is a tree stump with a root. Holding it upside down, it is a weapon similar to a meteor hammer. A wooden stump weighs at least more than 20 pounds, but now Sanliang has two in his hands, and he can swing the weight of more than 40 pounds with ease.

Lin Ziming, Lin Zijun and others immediately protected the women behind them and used wooden sticks, hatchets and hoes to block in front of them.

Yu Lanhua, who was among the crowd of disaster victims, covered her head and face tightly. Looking at her familiar husband, son and Lin family members, her steps felt as if they were filled with lead, so heavy that she could no longer lift them.

Yu Silang followed her with a sharp stick in his hand: "Sister, they are unkind to you, so we will be unjust to them! He doesn't want to divorce you, he wants to harm you and our Yu family!"

Why did Yu Silang say this? The story began when Yu Lanhua and Lin Changfa divorced and were chased back by their two younger brothers, carrying rice and taro. On the first night, the Yu family had a full meal. But from the second day on, things became uneasy. The disaster victims, smelling the fragrance of rice, kept coming to beg for food. After chasing them away several times, they became so annoyed that Yu Liulang simply beat up anyone who came.

Trying to stay away from these disaster victims wasn't an option. Unlike the Lin family, the Yu family didn't have as many members to look after each other along the way. If they were separated from these disaster victims, they would easily become prey for wild wolves at night. If they were caught by the wolves, they would be in danger of death. They were so weak that they couldn't even defeat Yu Lanhua, let alone the slick wild wolves that devoured people.

The hungry victims, seeing that they could not get what they wanted from begging, started stealing. When they were discovered, they robbed the rice. They would lie down and scoop up the rice that was scattered on the ground and stuff it into their mouths, regardless of whether it was raw or cooked. As long as it could fill their stomachs, they would even eat Guanyin soil and elm bark. These refined rice were rare foods for them even without being cooked.

Most of the food in the Yu family was looted, and the few remaining taro were saved because Yu Lanhua hid them in her arms.

The Yu family instigated Yu Lanhua to divorce, and with the little food she had been given, she was able to barely have a full meal with it. The rest was snatched away by other victims.

Are they angry with the disaster victims? The disaster victims are numerous and powerful, and they have food but are unwilling to give it to them, which still makes their relationship tense. Moreover, the food has been looted and eaten, and they can't just take it out of their mouths and stomachs.

Yu Silang and Yu Liulang directed all their anger at Lin Changfa's family, and shouted at Lin Changfa, saying that he was a good-for-nothing and that he didn't care about his eldest sister's life or death. He took the food and it was like a death warrant for her. Otherwise, how could his eldest sister survive with the food? She would have been eaten alive by the victims along the way.

"Sister, we can't let him go like this!" Yu Liulang stood up suddenly and looked at the oxcart stopped in the distance, knowing that it was the Lin family.

In fact, Yu Silang and Yu Liulang were also afraid that the five kilograms of food brought back by their eldest sister would not last long, so even if Yu Lanhua came back, everyone in the Yu family would move in the direction that Lin left.

After all the food was robbed, they asked Yu Lanhua to try to approach their son. However, Lin Changfa immediately drove her away when he saw her, and did not acknowledge the relationship between husband and wife at all. This made Yu Lanhua very angry, and she tacitly agreed to the plan of Yu Silang, Yu Liulang and the victims to rob the Lin family.

Not only the Yu family, but even the disaster victims knew that the Lin family was a fat sheep. They had ox carts, food, and meat, so they had their eyes on them. But Lei Da and Zheng Si, the vicious men, had been beaten so badly by them. The heads of Lei Da and others were still hanging on their ox carts. These disaster victims wanted to steal some food, but they also had to live.

How could I dare to do something I didn't dare to do before? There was no other way. I was starving and desperate. If I didn't find a way to find food, I would starve to death. I might as well be brave enough to do this job. If I succeeded, I could live for a while and maybe even find a way out!

The number of victims was larger than expected, and they immediately surrounded Lin Rui and his group, including their car.

Yu Silang and Yu Liulang, the initiators of the robbery of Lin's grain, were pushed forward by the victims. The two Yu brothers did not feel sorry for making things difficult for their former brother-in-law. Instead, they felt happy and proud, as if saying: I didn't expect that, Lin Changfa, you would have this day!

Lin Rui looked indifferently at the disaster victims surrounding them. There were also many disaster victims outside who were ready to make a move, as if they were considering whether to get involved and get a piece of the action. "Want to die?"

Yu Silang glanced greedily at the supplies on Lin Rui's cart and the oxen pulling it. If they could get their hands on some, they would be able to eat meat for at least three days. He licked his lips and said, "I'm only doing this because I don't want to die. A living person can't die from suffocating urine, and we can't starve to death either."
