The houses of both families were big enough and had plenty of space to store food.
Seeing everyone in the village preparing for this, Cai Junze sighed and said, "It's good to spread this news. Otherwise, when the drought comes, everyone will have nothing to eat, and only our family will have food. Then..."
Needless to say, both families will become the target of public criticism!
This is very different from that snowstorm!
The snowstorm lasted less than a month.
Moreover, the weather was so cold that people had no energy to come out and grab supplies.
Drought is a different story!
Therefore, when that day really comes, since everyone has been prepared, there will naturally not be such things as "someone's family has food, and then they go to rob someone else's family of food."
Liu Shulin also felt that spreading this news would be beneficial to them.
At least, next year or the year after, they will not be the target of public criticism during the drought.
In addition, as long as the whole village is not hungry and is united, there is no need to worry about being targeted by other villages.
Changhe Village is quite large and has a large population. When the villagers unite, their power is still enormous. Other villages cannot attack them at will.
Knowing that there might be a drought next year or the year after, Xia Xiaowei was very worried, especially about the Xia family in Xingzi Village.
Liu Shuting comforted her and said, "Don't worry about Dad and Mom. If a drought really happens, we can bring them here to live."
Xia Xiaowei opened her eyes wide and said, "Is this...appropriate?"
Liu Shuting smiled and said, "What's inappropriate about that? They are your parents, so they are naturally my parents as well. Besides, there are only two of us in our house, so it's not like there's no room for them to live in."
The reason why they didn't tell the Xia family about the possible drought was because if they did, the Xia family would have made preparations and really stockpiled food... When the drought came, their family would most likely become the target of public criticism in Xingzi Village!
Not to mention the marriage between the Xia family and the Liu family, and the certain relationship between them and the Prince's Mansion... When they are really starving, who will care about so many things?
What's more, the Xia family has a bad relationship with most families in Xingzi Village... When the time comes, only your family has food, and other families have no food. If they don't rob you, who else will they rob?
Therefore, Liu Shuting’s suggestion was not to tell the Xia family first.
When the drought comes, we will bring their whole family here!
Hearing Liu Shuting say this, Xia Xiaowei was extremely grateful.
I feel more and more that marrying him was the right decision!
Regarding the drought, Liu Shulin also quietly told Fan Yuliang, Xu Jiayun, Teng Yuxiu, Zeng Weixiao and others, asking them to make preparations, and to do so quietly so as not to let people around them notice and avoid trouble.
And remind them that if a drought really comes, for safety reasons, they'd better pretend to be like other families. They should only know what food they have and not let others know.
"Master, we will be careful!"
“Thank you for telling us this!”
Last year, because of the Master’s reminder, they were prepared and that cold winter was not so difficult.
Of course, Teng Yuxiu and Zeng Weixiao joined later. During the snowstorm last year, they didn't even know Liu Shulin. However, since it was their master who said it, they were willing to believe it.
Anyway, it never goes wrong to be prepared.
