The village chief drank and chatted for a long time at the Mo family's house. When he returned, he was unsteady on his feet, and Fu Mingchuan had to take him home.
He kept insisting that he wasn't drunk, that he'd only had a little bit, and that it was nothing serious. He then waved his hand, telling Fu Mingchuan to hurry back and not to follow him, since it was so close and he was fine.
Fu Mingchuan also drank a little, but he had principles and only drank this much. He wouldn't drink any more than that, no matter what. He needed to keep a clear head and stay vigilant!
I'm used to it, I can't change it, and I don't want to change it!
No matter where I am, I strictly adhere to the principles I set for myself and I don't want to make any exceptions!
He volunteered to take the village chief out; he wanted to go out for a walk, get some fresh air, and clear his head!
Yes, I need to be more clear-headed!
The village chief kept saying he was fine, but he was swaying unsteadily. Who was he trying to fool?
well!
No drunk person will admit that they are drunk!
That would be so embarrassing!
Anyone can get drunk, but I can't get drunk!
He understands!
Therefore, Fu Mingchuan didn't say much. It would be pointless to talk to the village chief anyway, as he wouldn't listen to anything at the moment. He just followed along!
The village chief is usually quite serious and upright, but he probably had a few drinks and forgot about maintaining his image. He became more talkative and even started to care about Fu Mingchuan, asking about Fu Mingchuan's marriage prospects and even trying to play matchmaker!
Fu Mingchuan knew the village chief was drunk and confused, so he ignored him and let him talk to himself. Anyway, he would answer the questions he asked!
No one needs to answer at all!
It looks pretty funny!
After dropping the village chief off at his home, Fu Mingchuan turned and left.
When Fu Mingchuan returned to the Mo family home, everyone gathered together and chatted.
Let's continue by discussing what to do next and how to do it.
After discussing it for a long time, we just added a few sentences to the original text.
In the face of nature, humans are insignificant, unable to predict or control it, only able to cope!
Old Xu seemed to be busy; the lamp was on all night, and judging from his shadow, he seemed to be writing furiously.
Anyway, nobody knows what he's busy with; he's busy with his own things!
Fu Mingchuan originally intended to leave, but for some reason he stayed. During the day, if the Mo family went to town, he would go with them.
When we're together, we're busy; when we're apart, we're busy too!
Changna Village finally saw refugees from outside, fleeing to visit relatives, bringing their families with them.
Given the current situation, not allowing outsiders into the village is not feasible and would be too heartless. However, once they enter the village, they must abide by the village rules!
Those refugees from elsewhere were already grateful to have a place to stay, so they didn't complain about anything and agreed to everything!
Each family member's relatives should be responsible for their care and accommodation, ensuring that the normal lives of the villagers are not disrupted!
Everyone agrees that you never know if some distant relative might come to visit you tomorrow!
No matter what, the village still needs to function normally; we can't let external factors disrupt its internal order!
The villagers of Changna Village are frantically stockpiling goods, so they are living a tight life. They have to think more about the future, especially after seeing that there are actually refugees arriving, which makes the tension even stronger!
The relatives who came to flee could not be supported by them. They could only give them some rice and food to help them catch their breath. Once they had recovered, they still had to find their own way to make a living.
Who can afford to support such a large family?
Who wouldn't want to stockpile more goods for a rainy day? We're all struggling to make ends meet, where would we find extra food to give away?
Before long, just as the village chief said, everyone will probably have to flee the famine!
I have to think about myself first; I have a whole family to support!
Everyone looks out for themselves!
Those refugees didn't know how long they had been fleeing, but now that they had a place to settle down temporarily, they were content. It didn't matter if they didn't have a house, as long as they didn't starve or die of thirst!
Their wish was simple: to stay alive!
The Mo family is probably the only family in the village that stays the same every day.
No matter what, you have to eat well. You have to eat what you're supposed to eat and drink what you're supposed to drink. If you're not healthy, you won't even be able to run!
That's what Su Nanxi said: "Anyway, we can get more food after we finish eating. As long as we're not lazy, we won't have to worry about food and drink!"
Besides, they didn't neglect stockpiling; they stockpiled as much as they could!
You can never have enough stock; you still have to do what you need to do!
The Mo family has the confidence and courage to do so!
The villagers wouldn't dare do that!
Especially for the Chen family, having a decent meal is a luxury!
On such a hot day, they didn't want to go out!
I've been so bothered by Old Mrs. Chen that I can't eat or sleep properly. Nothing has improved, but my temper has!
The villagers got up before dawn, while the Chen family had just fallen asleep. Everyone else had come back from their busy work to escape the heat, and the Chen family had just gotten up!
In the afternoon, the villagers went out because they didn't want to go out due to the heat. Once it cooled down a bit, everyone had dinner!
There was no food at home, so we cooked and ate everything edible, but we still weren't full!
No matter how much pressure they put on Old Mrs. Chen, she refused to tell her son and daughter-in-law where the money was!
The two sides are going against each other like this, and whatever you want to know, I'm just not going to tell you!
Old Mrs. Chen was ruthless in trying to drag everyone down with her. She felt that her son and daughter-in-law were too unfilial to her, bullying her so that she couldn't get up. If they gave away the money that saved her life, she would become an abandoned child!
Now everyone treats her like this. They've given her money, but she's no longer of any use to them. Who knows what will happen to her!
No way!
These ungrateful wretches aren't worth all the sacrifices she made!
Back then, in order to make them more comfortable, she deliberately mistreated her third son's family. These people enjoyed it but then blamed everything on her!
It's good that they can't find their third son; we can't let those ungrateful wretches get away with it!
That's wishful thinking. You don't want to do anything yourself, you just want others to help you, preferably to the very end!
Old Mrs. Chen would never admit that she was that kind of person. At this moment, she prayed that these ungrateful wretches would never find their third son!
Because she knew these people's nature all too well. Once they found someone, they wanted to control that family and enjoy themselves. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to find a big tree to shelter under!
The third son is probably nowhere to be found. He bullied people for half his life. He's not stupid; he's seen a lot of the world. He's probably dried up his brains by now!
Let's just let things drag on like this, and neither of us will benefit!
But she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, and she didn't want to starve to death like that, so she finally gave in and told her son and daughter-in-law where she hid her money, and asked them to take the money and buy some rice and other food.
They took the money and bought rice and grain, but very little of it ended up in Old Mrs. Chen's mouth; she wasn't full at all!
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that she kept pounding the bed. Everyone had eaten their fill, and only then was the rest served to her!
Listen to what the eldest daughter-in-law is saying; they're so hungry they've forgotten there are still people who haven't eaten!
I could tolerate it once, but it's like this every single meal? Does she think I'm stupid? It's obviously done on purpose!
In the end, Old Mrs. Chen couldn't win against her son and daughter-in-law, and she refused to back down, insisting on fighting back!
However, Old Mrs. Chen was very shrewd; she hid her money in more than one place!
"Have you heard? I heard that Old Lady Chen is not doing well!"
