Chi Yu nodded, thinking that every household in the charcoal mountain area had a charcoal kiln.
Indeed, every household burned charcoal, and the money earned could be exchanged for grain and other things.
It's much better than going out for a winter hunt.
After all, no one can guarantee that a winter hunt will definitely yield a catch.
Especially on a rainy day like this, it would be difficult to even catch a wild rabbit.
Chi Qiao continued, "As it stands, we should have enough food to last until the end of next year."
As long as there are no relatives from the bride's family, or married daughters who bring their families over, we can handle it.
Otherwise, things might really fall apart, just like you described in your book—chaos ensues, and people have to flee."
"Sister, there are few people with different surnames in our Chijia'ao. And the girls who get married are mostly between their teens and thirties."
There might be more people in their forties or fifties.
At her age, she probably wouldn't come back with her family, would she?
"That's hard to say! There are few people with different surnames, but there are some. In the last three generations, the main marriage partners have been them."
Although most women who marry into our Chi clan do not have much contact with their maternal families, there are a few who do maintain contact.
Besides, when everyone is struggling to survive, those awful family members will definitely go wherever there is food and drink and they can survive.
Let's not talk about others, just take my Zhou family. Believe it or not, if it really comes to that, they will definitely overcome all difficulties to come over.
Even if I ignore them and chase them away, do you really think I can get rid of them?
If I were to stand by and watch them freeze and starve to death in front of me, what do you think your elder brother and nephews would think?
Even if they can understand it, what about Aye's wife and Aden's wife?
"If their families also want to come, should I do the same?"
Chi Yu is most impatient with these kinds of things, including dealing with them when reading novels.
Hearing this, she simply said, "Sister, I think we should do it this way."
Once the freezing rain disaster is over, we will cut off the roads leading to other places on both sides.
In this way, we can preserve our Chijia'ao.
In years of famine, the most troublesome person is the Virgin Mary. And the first to die is also the Virgin Mary.
If someone from this family comes to seek refuge with them, bringing their entire household.
Someone from that family also came to seek refuge with their entire household.
What has become of our Chijia'ao?
Everything we are doing now is for the people of Chijia'ao to get through this year of disaster smoothly.
It's not the birthplace of the Virgin Mary and the Father.
After hearing this, Chi Qiao considered the feasibility of the matter.
Finally, she said, "If we cut it off, then the remaining charcoal and vegetables definitely won't be able to be sold."
Furthermore, the general store's supplies cannot be replenished.
Another option is that this matter is either done secretly without anyone knowing, or everyone knows about it and then unanimously approves it.
It's difficult to do it without anyone noticing; once everyone knows the road is blocked, they'll definitely try to find a way to reopen it.
Chi Yu thought about it carefully and then said, "Sister, you said the villagers trust me completely."
Or should I wait until the freezing rain comes and then talk to the clan chief and elders about this?
As long as they agree, I don't think other people's opinions are that important.
The older generation values relationships, so they might not agree.
"Okay, you give it a try first. They say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."
Although they are sentimental, they are also wise.
Compared to their own people, they know what's important and how to choose.
But Little Fish, you'd better think carefully about how to bring it up before you go and say it.
Also, I need to inform Aqing first.
Let's see if we should marry Qiaoya first, or something else.
