"That's right. That idiot said that if I marry my daughter to him, he will cover your medical expenses and our food along the way."
Widow Song was extremely disdainful when she heard this. "Tsk, our Wanru is going to be an official's wife, how could she possibly be interested in his little favors?"
Widow Song was so busy talking that she didn't notice the subtle change in Qin Mosheng's expression.
He glanced at Wang Yongchang's ox cart, which had several boxes and bags of rice on it, which was a hundred times better than having nothing in their hands.
What's more, Wang Yongchang was right. If he wanted to treat his arm, he would need to pay for the consultation. Wang Yongchang's family was wealthy, so if he could help them, they wouldn't have to worry about the journey.
Qin Mosheng had a plan in mind. "Mother, there's no need to slander Wang Yongchang so much. Although Wang Yongchang's status doesn't match that of my Qin family, his love for Wanru is genuine. Besides, no matter whether they are high-ranking officials or ordinary villagers, after a hundred years, they will all be a pile of yellow earth and dry bones, regardless of their status."
"this..."
Widow Song was confused by Qin Mosheng's long speech and didn't understand what he meant.
But Qin Wanru heard it all clearly. She cried, "Brother, what do you mean by that? Regardless of status, are you interested in his family's food and want me to marry Wang Yongchang?"
Qin Mosheng was still quibbling, "Sister, how could you think of me like this? An elder brother is like a father. I'm just worried about your lifelong affairs. You've seen how dangerous the road is. If you end up falling into the hands of bandits, it's better to get married early so that you can at least have someone to rely on for life."
"That's easy for you to say, brother. Since you're so open-minded, why don't you marry Wang Xiuxiu?"
"you!"
Qin Mosheng snorted coldly, "How can you and I be the same?"
"What's the difference? Do you have an extra nose than me or do I have one less eye than you? You can't marry a village girl, not even as a concubine. I'm going to marry Wang Yongchang as a concubine!"
The more Qin Wanru spoke, the angrier she became, and her voice became louder.
Widow Song was afraid of being embarrassed if someone heard her, so she quickly stopped her, "Okay, Wanru, stop talking. Your brother didn't mean that. He... was also considering your lifelong happiness."
Qin Wanru couldn't believe it. "Mom, when you say this, do you also think that I should marry Wang Yongchang?"
"Of course not!"
Widow Song was very resolute. "Don't even mention that Wang Yongchang already has a wife. With his status, it's a pipe dream for him to want to marry you."
Qin Wanru was slightly relieved, "Mom still loves me."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's find some food nearby."
Qin Mosheng looked disapproving, but Qin Wanru was so determined that he couldn't say anything more and could only think about it carefully.
...
After walking all night, everyone was tired and found a shady place to lie down and rest.
After Zhou Pingping came back, Grandma Zhou felt relieved and felt much better. She has been taking care of Zhou Pingping.
Zhou Pingping had a fever and didn't wake up for a long time, but Du Yuan woke up first.
It happened that Zhao Yuru went to fetch water. When Su Man saw that Du Yuan had woken up, she quickly asked Zhou Anan to call Zhao Yuru back.
When Du Yuan saw Su Man, he was bewildered. "Benefactor? Why, you saved me again!"
He was ashamed to death, "My benefactor has saved me many times, but I have nothing to repay him. I am truly ashamed."
Su Man was happy, "We are indeed destined to meet, but compared to repaying a favor, I would rather you meet someone first."
"who?"
"Du Lang!"
Du Yuan's body trembled when he heard the voice. He turned his head in disbelief, "Yuru!"
Zhao Yuru, who got the news, rushed over and saw that the other party was fine. Both of them had tears in their eyes.
Du Yuan was injured and they couldn't hug each other.
One was sitting, the other was standing, they just looked at each other quietly, the true feelings in their eyes were worth more than a thousand words.
Su Man pulled Zhou Anan aside, leaving space for the couple in love.
In this famine, reunion is the most beautiful thing, and no one has the heart to disturb them.
After resting for an hour, the village chief led the villagers to continue their journey.
This brush with the bandits made them feel even more that time was running out. The world was becoming increasingly chaotic, and if they didn't get to the south quickly, their numbers would probably decrease.
Fortunately, this time Suman brought back two horses, one of which she gave to Wang Tiedan. He followed Suman into a bandit's lair, and this was his medal of bravery.
The other horse was pulling a picked-up cart, with Grandma Zhou and Zhou Pingping sitting on it.
Speaking of which, they saw quite a few carts abandoned on the road along the way.
As you can imagine, these were previously pulled by livestock, but as time went by the livestock became food, and the carts became useless.
The one Suman and his friends picked up is quite new, and the villagers can help repair it before it can be used.
Su Man originally wanted Zhou Anan to go up as well, but Zhou Anan insisted on walking with Su Man, so Su Man just went with him.
This time they took a dirt road, which was easy to walk on except for some ups and downs. Before dark, the group stopped in a forest, set up camp and prepared dinner.
Grandma Zhou cooked while Su Man went to find a source of water.
After the meal was ready, Zhao Yuru and Du Yuan were nowhere to be found. After searching for a long time, I finally found that they had gone to the other side of the forest, looking for food.
Du Yuan's abdominal wound had not healed yet, but he refused to take a car in the afternoon. Now the blood oozing from his abdomen was shocking.
Zhao Yuru felt sorry for him and advised, "Sit here and rest for a while. I'll go find it."
Du Yuan pulled her back with his backhand. He smiled helplessly and said, "If I let you go find it, wouldn't I become a gigolo who lives off me?"
