Lin Zizheng was trying to break free from Yu Silang's left hand and was about to hit him with his fist, but he felt a sharp pain in his right arm.

The pain made him loosen his grip on Yu Silang's hand. He turned around and looked at Yu Lanhua in disbelief, shouting fiercely and angrily, "Mother!"

Yu Lanhua was frightened by her son's ferocious appearance. Her hands seemed to be out of control and she picked up the stick and hit him hard on the head just like she did to Niu Qin just now.

When she realized what she had done, she was so scared that she threw the stick away.

He hurriedly tried to help Lin Zizheng up, but before he could even squat down, Yu Silang pulled him away: "Who cares what the Lin family does? Let's go! If we don't leave now, we won't be able to escape!"

Yu Lanhua looked at her son with worry on her face, but her steps could not help but follow Yu Silang: "But Zheng Ge'er..."

"Sister, you are his mother, you gave birth to him and raised him, you gave him this life, so what if you hit him? Let's go, hurry up, if Lin Changfa catches us, we will really die!"

Yu Silang took Yu Lanhua and fled.

Lin Rui's side also achieved an overwhelming victory. The surrounding victims were either lying or dead on the ground, and the blood had stained the ox cart.

In the end, the Lin family won the fight. Those victims who still had a breath to run had already run away, and those who couldn't run just lay there waiting to die.

Everyone was injured. Lin Rui's finger was hit by a stick in the melee, and it was in excruciating pain. His little finger was swollen like a piece of bread.

Fortunately, there were no casualties. Having enough food is still useful. It was worth it as we used all our strength to guard our ox carts and food.

Lin Rui: "Sanliang, brother-in-law, can you go and see how the others are doing?"

San Liang and Zhao Qing nodded. After a while, they returned. Zhao Qing said in a low voice, "Except for our family, everyone else's situation isn't too good. Some of the food has been snatched away by the fleeing victims. The remaining food will probably only last for two days."

The disaster victims who had been hungry for a long time were like starving ghosts reincarnated. As long as they saw food, no matter it was rice grains, brown rice, or taro with dirt on it, they would grab it and stuff it into their mouths without even cooking or cleaning it.

The food that was stolen can be taken back, but you can’t use a knife to cut open the stomachs of the victims who have already eaten the food.

"Uncle's family is in an even worse situation..." Zhao Qing said with sympathy, "The food was stolen. Lin Zizheng and Niu Qin both got goose egg-sized bumps on their heads. Niu Qin is fine now that she's woken up and can barely walk. But Lin Zizheng is suffering the most. He started vomiting right after waking up, throwing up all the food he had eaten today."

Vomiting after a hit to the head is a sign of a concussion!

Lin Rui asked San Liang to help him up and went to see the situation at Lin Changfa's house. Lin Zijun and Lin Zikun supported Lin Changfa and sat there in a daze, while Zhuying took care of the injured sister-in-law Niu Qin.

Lin Changfa murmured, "What misfortune for our family! What misfortune for our family! We have lost all our food, all our food for survival. We are going to starve to death!"

Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Which family in the Lin family had not suffered? After all, it was Yu Lanhua who brought this disaster. They were just innocent victims. It was a disaster for them not to hate Lin Changfa's family, let alone provide them with assistance. Their stored food had been almost completely robbed.

"Uncle, how are Lin Zizheng and his sister-in-law doing?" Lin Rui was supported by three people and asked.

When Lin Changfa saw his nephew, tears immediately flowed from his eyes. He stood up and kowtowed to the other members of the Lin family who were with him. "I'm sorry, everyone. It's my family's misfortune. I didn't take good care of my wife and brought this disaster to everyone!"

Everyone was silent. It was impossible not to be angry. They didn't expect that after finally escaping here and not being attacked by other victims, they were betrayed by their own people and joined forces with outsiders to steal their food.

Ermao raised his head and looked at Cao'er: "Mom, will we still have food to eat in the future?"

After fleeing famine for a long time, Ermao has become more aware of the warmth and coldness of human nature. It was because his brother saved the niece of the clan leader that he and his mother had a place to live.

Now, if the patriarch were to integrate the entire family, it would be difficult for him to support them and their son.

Cao'er patted Ermao's shoulder, not knowing whether to comfort him or herself: "No, the clan leader is not that kind of person."

Cao'er still held the wooden stick in her hand, as if only this could give her a sense of security.

Lin Zizheng's condition was a bit tricky. After vomiting, he couldn't get up. He kept lying on the ground, sweating profusely, his face pale.

Zhu Ying burst into tears and knelt beside him, holding the child in her arms: "Husband, please don't scare me. Please don't get hurt. We finally made it this far!"

Niu Qin was pale at the moment, but her condition was much better than Lin Zi's. She was conscious, but her head was buzzing with pain. "Dad, husband, the wounds on my and my brother-in-law's heads were all caused by mother. She brought the Yu family to our cart to steal food. She found the food I tied under the cart. She wants to destroy our family!"

Lin Changfa looked at his youngest son with heartache, his lips trembling with anger. "From now on, you three will never have a mother like Yu Lanhua again! You'll either never meet her again, or if you do, beat her to death. Don't care about the mother-son relationship. Think about your third brother's miserable condition today. If she succeeds in the future, you'll be the ones lying here!"

After saying that, he looked at Lin Rui and said, "Chief, once we reach a safe area, I will remove this crazy woman from the family tree. She is not afraid of being included in the family tree of my Lin family, and she is not worthy of being worshipped by my Lin family's descendants after her death."

Lin Rui nodded: "Uncle, now is not the time to talk about this. Take good care of Lin Zizheng and don't let his condition get worse. Now we are in this wilderness with no medicine or doctors. We can only rely on ourselves to get through this."

Lin Zizheng could hardly walk now, so he had to lie on the cart. Lin Rui and Sanliang specially found a place to load miscellaneous items for his uncle's house, and his uncle's cart pulled Lin Zizheng.

Lin Zijun and Lin Zikun both looked extremely unhappy. Their own mother had brought some bad guys to rob their children and grandchildren of their food. If this got out, everyone would laugh at them.

Although they had been concerned about their mother who had divorced their father before, this move made them completely heartbroken. They never mentioned Yu Lanhua on the road afterwards. This incident finally broke their courage. If there is a next time, Lin Changfa has made up his mind that he will never show mercy to this evil person.

Lin Changtai, Lin Changshou and others picked up the rice grains that fell on the wasteland one by one, regardless of the mud on the rice. These were life-saving food!

Third Aunt Zhang Dacui sat down on the ground and sobbed, "It's all gone, all the food is gone!"

The already limited food supply in Zhang Dacui's family was snatched away by the disaster victims, leaving only the last bit in the cloth bag. Even this last bit of rice was snatched from the starving disaster victims by her son and daughter-in-law at the risk of their lives.
