Late at night, Shen Li sat in front of her parents' bed and reached out to shake Shen Changshan.
Shen Changshan woke up and was startled to see a dark shadow sitting beside the bed. It was only when Shen Li spoke that he calmed down.
"Ali, what are you doing sitting here so late at night? Are you sleepwalking?"
Lin Cuicui heard the noise and came over in the dark to touch Chen Li's forehead: "Are you not sick?"
"Mom and Dad, I'm not sick. I just have something I don't know if I should tell you."
Shen Changshan picked up his wife's coat and put it on Shen Li, yawning, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
"Dad, Mom, I just had a dream. I dreamed that starting in May, the temperature kept rising, and until the next year, not a drop of rain fell."
Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui were stunned. The couple looked at each other. What nonsense is their daughter talking about?
"Dad, Mom, what should I do?"
"Will our family die?"
Lin Cuicui quickly patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "Ali, don't be afraid. It was just a dream. Didn't it rain a few days ago?"
Chen Li choked up and said, "What if it's true?"
The couple choked, and Shen Changshan said, "Ali, dreams are the opposite, don't be afraid."
"But I've been having this dream for three days straight!"
The couple's eyes widened. Could it be that what Ali said was true?
"Mom and Dad, what should we do if this is true?"
The room fell silent. After a while, Shen Changshan said, "Ali, there are still two months left. We are waiting. If it is true, then we should make plans early."
"Yes, Ali, as long as our family is together, we have nothing to fear."
"Then I'm going back to bed."
Chen Li returned to her room. The drought would come soon. If she didn't tell them the news, it would be difficult for her to prepare on her own.
Chen Li summoned his wood-type ability, emitting a bright green light in the dark night.
Not bad, not bad. Through my hard work over the past few days, I have finally grown up a little.
My psychic abilities have also improved a lot. At first they were only the size of a hair, but now they are as thick as two hairs.
I took a walk around the village today, and tomorrow I will find an excuse to go up the mountain and snatch the heroine's golden finger!
Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape from famine later!
Chen Li didn't feel embarrassed at all about taking away Chen Jiaojiao's golden finger.
Little Shenli died because of Shen Jiaojiao. It was nothing more than taking her golden finger away.
Sooner or later, she will take revenge double.
But before that, Shen Jiaojiao must first experience the hardship of fleeing famine.
This time Chen Li is fine, but how will Chen Jiaojiao, who has lost her golden finger, survive the journey of fleeing from the famine?
Thinking about it, Chen Li is looking forward to it.
Early the next morning, Lin Cuicui brought a bowl of steamed eggs to Chen Li.
Yang Chunhong rolled her eyes, her face gloomy, and she didn't even look at the family living in the big house opposite.
That’s right, Shen Changshan brought his family to the table to eat a free meal openly.
Shen Dajiang knocked on the table and said, "Boss, A-Li's illness is almost healed. Stop making trouble and go to the fields together to plant the crops."
"What else to eat?"
Shen Changshan was unmoved. Even if they planted some, their family wouldn't be able to eat much.
And Ali said last night that there would be a drought, so why plant crops?
It’s a waste to plant it!
Of course he wouldn't say these words out loud.
"No, our eldest wife has worked so hard for so many years, now it's the second wife's turn."
He Lai Di's fair face turned red. The eldest brother spoke as if their second branch had been eating free meals all these years!
"Brother, we in the second room also have work to do."
"Well, do you need anyone to tell you what you're doing?"
Shen Dajiang had a gloomy face. He knew that the eldest wife was dissatisfied with the actions of these people.
But the second grandson Wensong is good at studying and has already passed the examination for Tongsheng. This year he will take the examination for Xiucai. This is a good thing for the Shen family.
Why did the eldest family act so stubbornly at this critical juncture?
Grandma Chen slapped the table with a slap, "Boss, what do you and your family want to do? Do nothing all day and just eat with your mouth open?"
Shen Changshan finished the porridge in his bowl, put it down, and said calmly: "We have only eaten white rice for a few days, mother, you can't stand it?"
"Then wouldn't it be shameful for someone who has been eating free meals for more than ten years to stay in this house?"
Shen Jiaojiao: “!!”
Who are you implying here, brother?
He Lai Di lowered her head, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. Ever since her son showed his talent for studying, she had not worked in the fields for more than ten years.
Shen Dajiang said in a deep voice: "I didn't say you guys are eating for free, but it's not a good thing if you keep making trouble like this."
"Go and plant the land first. This is related to taxes and next year's food supply."
"No, eldest brother, fourth brother, let's go up the mountain."
After Shen Changshan finished speaking, he took Shen Jingyuan and Shen Qi'an up the mountain. The remaining Lin Cuicui, Shen Li and Xu Taohua immediately drank the porridge in their bowls, and then each carried a basket up the mountain.
Shen Dajiang: This rebellious son and his family!
Yang Chunhong slammed the table, "Old man, if we don't take care of them, the boss and his family will come and poop on us!"
Shen Jiaojiao wrinkled her delicate nose. She was still eating. How could her mother speak so vulgarly?
Shen Dajiang glanced at her and said, "Who told you to be so partial to me before? Now the boss doesn't care about me anymore."
Yang Chunhong suddenly became dissatisfied: "You are not partial..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Dajiang got up and left.
