"Whether they flee the famine or not, I don't know either. Why don't you take some time to ask the clan chief or the village head?"
Yue Jiuyue felt that it was unlikely that many people would flee the famine this year, because they had just harvested a batch of wheat.
Although the crops in the fields are almost dead, the villagers have the grain they saved last year, this year's wheat, and sweet potatoes that they pulled up because they were afraid of wasting them due to the drought. If the drinking water problem is not a big issue, no one wants to flee the famine.
People are less valuable when they leave their hometown.
This is a principle that normal people understand, except for those who love to daydream.
This means, of course, that someone is having grand dreams.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
Liu muttered these words all the way home.
Before Yue Jiuyue could even step forward and ask her any questions, Liu Shi spilled the beans—clearly and efficiently revealing everything.
"Mom, tell me about that good-for-nothing in my family. Instead of living a good life, he actually encouraged my parents to go with the neighboring village to escape famine, saying that they were going to make a name for themselves in the big city!"
Screw him! He's supposed to make a name for himself! I'm just glad he didn't lose his life! That idiot! He's got no sense of his place! He has absolutely no skills, just endless daydreams!
Seeing that Liu had finished speaking, Lin Chaodong quickly handed her a bowl of water. She had been grumbling all the way and must be very thirsty.
Without a word, Liu took the bowl, gulped down the wine in several large mouthfuls, wiped her mouth, and said to Lin Chaodong:
"I want more."
Lin Chaodong: (灬??灬)
It's more appropriate to say this at night.
"What did your parents say?"
Seeing that Liu had drunk her fill of water, Yue Jiuyue quickly asked.
"They say they haven't decided yet, but looking at them, if that bear tries to persuade them a few more times, they'll definitely act impulsively!"
Although Liu was already a mother, she only had one child, Xiaoman'er, and she couldn't truly understand the feelings of "the youngest son, the eldest grandson, the old lady's lifeblood." Therefore, she couldn't understand why her parents, who were already halfway to the grave, would still go through all this trouble.
If this little bear wants to go out and explore, why can't we just let him go out and explore on his own? Why are those two old folks getting involved?
"well!"
Yue Jiuyue sighed.
Lin Chaobei offered an explanation:
“Today we went to my mother’s house, but everyone in Shanghe Village had left without us noticing. The wheat in the fields was unattended, and the village was deserted. My mother didn’t even send anyone to let us know. She was so heartbroken!”
I was so heartbroken I fell into a ditch.
Lin Chaobei wouldn't be foolish enough to say that out loud, otherwise his older brother would have a talk with him.
He was so discouraged by his third brother today that he no longer wanted to receive any more "loving education" from his eldest brother.
"Huh? They've already left Grandma's house?!"
Liu's surprised voice split into two.
"No, why didn't they say anything? Do my aunts know? Should we go and tell them?"
Liu Shi really didn't expect that there would be parents who were even more unreliable than her own!
Although this comparison lessened her resentment towards her parents somewhat, the fact that such an unreliable family was her mother-in-law's family suddenly made her feel more sorry for her mother-in-law.
Put yourself in her shoes. If her parents had left with the whole family without a word, and she only found out after returning to her parents' home and not being able to find her family, wouldn't she be devastated?
