Chapter 87: Beginning to Prepare for Escape

"Are some people jinxes? Tell me, when she was here, she was a hen that didn't lay eggs, but as soon as she left her husband's house, she got 20 mu of land!

It's a full twenty acres. Some people must be regretting what they did last night. Wang Chuntao raised her eyebrows and looked at the leader Shen Qing, her smile becoming more and more mocking:

"Are there some people who are also regretting this? They were only going to give one bite of rice to eat, but now all their fields are gone and they don't even know where their rice is.

How are we going to live without land in the future?"

Jiang Xiangnan spoke first: "How? Of course, by eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks!"

"It's not like our land just disappeared for no reason. Didn't it get exchanged for sixty-five taels of silver? Come and look at the cart. Can't you see the white fat and the whole pig thigh?"

When Liu Sheng got closer, he saw that it was Jiang Xiangdong who was pulling the cart, and the cart was full of various things.

Among them, pork belly, pork hind legs are particularly obvious.

He thought of the deliciousness of pork and couldn't help swallowing.

He looked away and questioned Jiang Yu, "You don't have any land, but you're still buying all this lavish food. Aren't you planning on living like this?

Jiang Yu, I always thought you were virtuous, but I never thought you were such a superficial woman who only cares about the next meal!"

"That means if I live with you I have to be virtuous. But if I live with me I don't have to be virtuous. I just need to eat meat as much as I can." Shen Qing retorted coldly.

She looked at Wang Chuntao, who was staring at the meat on the cart with her pregnant belly, and said harshly, "You are carrying the Liu family's golden grandson and precious baby in your belly, and you can't even eat meat?

After all the effort, what I got is a life without meat? It seems that my Xiaoyu is smart. It’s better not to have a bad man. "

Wang Chuntao struggled to move her eyes away from the cart, curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "No matter how delicious the meat is, it will be gone after it is eaten. But the fields will always be there. There will be endless food every year. You are jealous and resentful.

Your happy days will be over soon. Without land and fields, you will face hard times in the future!"

"Oh? How can you be so sure that the twenty acres of land will fall into your hands?" Shen Qing asked curiously.

The three of them were stunned, and Wang Chuntao immediately looked at Liu Sheng beside her.

Yesterday, the three of them came back and said they were from the Liu family! So today, they borrowed a donkey cart from someone in the village to pick up Liu Xiangnan and take him home for a nice meal. What's going on? Hasn't it been decided yet?

Liu Sheng was anxious, pointing at Shen Qing and shouting: "Why not! My brother-in-law clearly said that he was going to collect money, of course it was for our Liu family;

"Oh, you're a country woman, and sixty-five taels is a fortune to you, but my brother-in-law is a captain of the police. Sixty-five taels is like, like... a drop in the bucket to him! A single hair he plucks out is thicker than your thigh!"

Jiang Xiangbei slapped away Liu Sheng's hand that was pointing at Shen Qing.

Just as Liu Sheng raised his brows, he saw the three strong brothers of the Jiang family take a few steps forward. Even a strong and burly woman who was half a head taller than him came out of the carriage. The four of them stared at him angrily, which was terrifying.

He unconsciously took two steps back, suppressing all his anger.

Shen Qing looked at the three of them, his smile growing brighter, though it didn't reach his eyes. "Congratulations, everyone! Captain Sun sent us silver in exchange for the land deed early this morning. Go back and take a look! Maybe the deed has already been delivered to the Liu family."

Liu Yan'er's heart skipped a beat and she didn't dare to be too optimistic.

Sun Gui only gave her one and a half taels of silver a month to support her. Could he really be willing to spend sixty-five taels of silver all at once to buy land for her brother?

How could Sun Gui have so much silver privately?

Wang Chuntao's face changed.

She lingered at home for a long time in the morning, and only went out after Liu Sheng borrowed a donkey cart. Qili Village was not far from Shili Village, in fact, it was very close. If Captain Sun had come to deliver the land deed, he should have arrived long ago.

Even if there wasn't one, the donkey cart they borrowed was pulling a flatbed cart. There was only one official road from Shili Village to Qili Village and the city, and they would definitely encounter such a large living person on the road.

How could I not have encountered it?

Liu Sheng also thought of this question, and asked in disbelief: "Really?"

Why didn’t his brother-in-law ask him to go with him to exchange the land deed? He thought he would call the Liu family to humiliate the Jiang family and Jiang Yu again.

Was he planning to give them a surprise? But he was unsure!

"Of course it's true, otherwise how do you think we can buy meat and cloth?" Shen Qing asked back.

Liu Sheng immediately blamed Liu Xiangnan: "Fifth sister, what's wrong with you? You didn't even know about such a big thing!

Chuntao and I came to pick you up in person, and Mom even made your favorite egg custard at home. Tell me, do you think you deserve to eat what you did?"

Liu Yan'er was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She suppressed her anger and sneered, "Why am I not worthy of eating a bowl of egg custard?

Did I ask you to come pick me up? Who was it that just now said that we are a family and that a family should unite and help each other, and that I would let my nephew take care of me in my old age and see me to the end of my life? So if I am useful, we are a family, and if I am useless, I am not worthy, right? "

She is so stupid. She has suffered so many losses, but she still chooses to believe them again and again!

Liu Sheng was always strong-willed, especially when it came to his five sisters. He immediately said, "Chun Tao, let's go. Don't even think about my son throwing pots at you from now on!"

Wang Chuntao glanced at Liu Xiangnan, quickly followed her husband, and whispered, "Don't be so embarrassing. What if my brother-in-law sends the land deed to the Liu family?"

"That's fine. At worst, I can ask Mom to persuade Fifth Sister again. After all, I'm her biological brother. How can she really ignore me?

Don't worry, as long as her last name is Liu, she will always be a member of the Liu family and she won't ignore me, the only male in the Liu family!"

Liu Yan'er's beautiful eyes were filled with sadness, and she looked at Shen Qingjiangyu hesitantly.

"As a woman, you understand my pain, right?"

Shen Qing felt that the fact that she didn't mock him showed her good upbringing, but comforting her was absolutely impossible. Liu Yan'er herself didn't want to step out of the quagmire, and anyone who tried to help her would only be dragged into the quagmire and covered in mud!

"What does it matter whether you understand or not? I can't bear the hardship for you. Oh, you want to drag my Xiaoyu to your Liu family to suffer!

We are not of the same kind, there is no point in talking more, we will each live our own lives from now on, and we will never meet again."

Jiang Yu looked at Liu Yan'er steadily and said, "I understand. It is precisely because I understand that I disagree with your approach."

She had also suffered, as few women did. However, when she was in the most pain, she only wanted to end her own life, not harm others, and she did not drag other women into the water after jumping out of the Liu family.

Liu Yan'er stood there in a daze, not coming back to her senses for a long time.

How come their words of persuasion are completely different from those used by others in the past...

After returning home, everyone began to make preparations to escape the famine.

The men unloaded their vehicles and went out to cut grass to feed the donkeys and cows, while also cutting and picking up wood to prepare as much dry firewood as possible.

Huo Bing, Jiang Shui and Jiang Yu washed the various meats they bought.
