"Let's go together! Brother, don't say anything more. What kind of relationship do our two families have? There's no way we'd abandon you today!"
Old Man Chi's voice was firm and resounding, directly retorting to Third Sister-in-law Chi: "Anyone who objects can get out of the Chi family!"
What is family?
Do you just abandon people when they encounter difficulties?
So what did he become?
Sister-in-law Chi looked indignant and shouted anxiously, "Dad, what are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty?"
"Little Zhou, what are you saying? How dare you speak to your father like that?" Chi Sanhe grabbed Little Zhou.
Of all the people, it was his wife who was jumping around so much, which made Chi Sanhe feel particularly embarrassed.
But this time, since it concerned her own interests, how could Sister-in-law Chi give up so easily?
Unbeknownst to everyone, Aunt Chi carefully carried Chi Tang out.
Just as everyone was at a stalemate, Aunt Chi's joyful shout suddenly rang out.
"Come here quickly."
"Mom, why did you run next door?"
Chi Dashan followed the sound and was stunned when he saw the things on the ground.
He subconsciously looked at his little sister in his mother's arms.
At this moment, Chi Tang seemed somewhat listless.
Taking out so many things from the space at once is quite mentally taxing.
"Tangtang..."
He's not stupid, how could he suddenly discover so many things?
Considering our family's previous situation, this is definitely a blessing for my younger sister!
"Go and call them over quickly, I don't need to teach you, do I?" Aunt Chi urged her son.
Why be sentimental at a time like this?
Chi Dashan nodded vigorously and immediately ran back.
A short while later, the two families came over, looking rather anxious.
Looking at the three bags of grain piled on the ground, and the two small mountains of glutinous rice and wheat flour, they were just piled up there straight!
There were also strips of pork piled up together, which looked to weigh at least fifty pounds!
Everyone's breathing became heavy!
"My God, how can there be so much grain?" Li Mingrong's wife almost pounced on the bags of grain.
My eyes welled up with tears when I saw those beautiful, white rice grains!
Food is a lifesaver at this time!
"How can there be so much pork?" Sister-in-law Chi picked up a piece of pork and swallowed hard.
This meat is still steaming cold!
What's going on?
All eyes of the Chi family members fell on Chi Tang.
They thought of the food cabinet in their house that would automatically produce food!
"Father, Mother, it can't be Tangtang..."
"It's God's pity on us, wanting us to live."
Aunt Chi quickly interrupted Third Sister Chi.
No matter how good their relationship was, she didn't want everyone to think about Chi Tang.
Perhaps she was shocked by the amount of grain and meat, because Sister-in-law Chi actually said something.
"Alright, hurry up and move next door. Remember not to make a fuss, or you might get into trouble if people find out," said Old Man Chi, the most composed of them all.
He tucked his pipe into his belt, then picked up his daughter and gave her a big kiss: "Daughter, you are so lucky."
"I've long heard that Tangtang is blessed, but I never imagined that even God would send food to our Tangtang!" Aunt Li said with a smile, expressing her gratitude.
These words were obviously flattering Chi Tang.
However, what she didn't know was that all of this was actually thanks to Chi Tang.
Chi Tang revealed a soft, toothless smile, looking silly, which melted the hearts of those who saw it.
Not to mention the Chi family, even the Li family liked it very much.
When the men, young and old, went to collect the grain, Aunt Li came over and wanted to hug Chi Tang.
Since Chi Tang was born, the Li family has only seen her twice.
One was at birth, and the other was at one month old.
Chi Tang liked Aunt Li because of her kind and gentle appearance, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
This made Aunt Li very happy.
"Oh my, no wonder you two love her so much. This Tangtang is really adorable." Aunt Li said with some envy.
Who wouldn't like having a child or daughter late in life?
It's just a pity that she's already fifty, so she won't have that opportunity.
To everyone's surprise, Chi Tang patted Aunt Li and pouted earnestly, muttering, "Yes! Yes!"
"Haha, my silly girl, I'm already fifty years old, where am I going to have children? I'd better just hope to hold my great-grandson."
Aunt Li burst into laughter.
A woman whose hair is already graying, ravaged by the years, how could she possibly have the body to conceive a new life?
"Don't say that. Who knows when you'll be able to hold your grandson in your old age? After I gave birth to Sihai, I couldn't get pregnant for many years. I was hoping to hold a granddaughter. But who knew that my sons would only have grandsons. Later, when Sihai was seven years old, I finally got pregnant with Wuhu."
"Back then, I thought I was hoping for a girl. But it wasn't, and then ten years later I got pregnant again."
Aunt Chi's tone was unmistakably smug.
If she hadn't insisted on having another child, where would she have gotten such a wonderful daughter?
"It's all about fate," Aunt Li said, holding Chi Tang in her arms and looking at her with increasing affection. "Tangtang is so smart; she can talk so early."
"Yes, our Tangtang is the smartest."
...
Because of the commotion, everyone decided to stay here for another two days.
Let's see how things go before making a decision.
After all, it's very close to Jin Yang Town; it only takes half an hour to get there.
With mountains and water, everything is convenient.
The only downside is that there are robbers nearby, but they've already raided the area once, so they shouldn't be coming back anytime soon.
Until we decide where to go next, it's best to settle down and rest here for now.
Especially Mrs. Li, who was listless and deeply affected, was afraid she wouldn't be able to keep up if she had to hurry on her journey.
"Mom, let's stew some meat for lunch."
Sister-in-law Chi was so hungry she was practically drooling.
There's so much pork, there's enough for so many people to share!
Aunt Chi reprimanded her: "Let me tell you, don't even think about taking any of this meat!"
"Mother, the children are all craving it."
"Are the children greedy or are you? There are other refugees living around here, starving and gnawing on tree bark, and you're cooking meat? You'd be killed and robbed in the middle of the night!"
Aunt Chi scared Third Sister-in-law Chi.
It wasn't really meant to scare people.
In years of famine, selling one's children to survive was commonplace, let alone looting.
Human nature is even more vulnerable in the face of life and death.
"But that meat won't keep..."
Chi Sansao knew that her mother-in-law was right, but if they didn't eat any meat at all, it would have been better not to pick them up in the first place!
So even though Aunt Chi repeatedly warned her, after lunch when everyone was resting and sleeping, Third Sister-in-law Chi still stole a piece of meat, took a pot and some other things, and quietly took An'an and Si Lang out...?
