Early the next morning, the villagers started on their journey.
"Jiuyue girl, Ji family boy, based on our current pace, we should be able to reach Qiyun County today, right?"
"Um."
Gu Chengyan said "hmm" as a response to the village chief.
But just this one word "hmm" was enough to make the village chief happy for a long time.
"Oh, we're finally in Qiyun County. The villagers are getting so annoying. They keep asking me when we can go to the city."
Listening to the village chief's anxious tone, Lin Jiuyue could imagine that most of the villagers must be starting to run out of salt and other supplies.
Although you won’t starve to death walking on the mountain road and you won’t encounter any wild beasts for the time being, you still have to go into the city to buy some items.
"Village chief, don't be too happy too soon. Whether we can enter the city is still a question."
Lin Jiuyue's words extinguished the village chief's excitement.
"Besides, even if we go into the city, with the little money the villagers have, we won't be able to buy much supplies."
The first sentence extinguished the village chief's excitement, and the second sentence made him sigh and shake his head.
"Jiuyue girl, what you said makes sense, but the villagers only have this little silver. We should buy as much as we can. It's not very useful to hold this silver now. It's better to exchange it for something else."
The village chief is very open-minded.
If you lose money, you can save it slowly, but without supplies, it will be difficult to survive.
Lin Jiuyue also understood this, so she remained silent. She pushed the cart in front of the group, occasionally chatting with Gu Chengyan, as if the cart weighed nothing.
Gu Chengyan led the way as he walked, occasionally quickening his pace to ask ahead.
Li Huaer, who was walking in the middle of the team, saw Gu Chengyan and Lin Jiuyue talking and laughing all the way, and thought of the scene when she was rejected by Gu Chengyan before, and she felt terrible.
Ji Liangchuan said that he was not suitable for her, but was she suitable for Lin Jiuyue?
Seeing him talking and laughing with Lin Jiuyue, Li Huaer hated Lin Jiuyue in her heart.
If Lin Jiuyue wasn't there, would Ji Liangchuan have fallen in love with me?
"Hua'er, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"
Li Huaer was indeed a little tired after walking for such a long time, but when she thought about Lin Jiuyue who had also walked for such a long time, pushing a cart all the way, she thought it must be even harder than her.
I was thinking, does Ji Liangchuan dislike weak women, but instead likes strong women like Lin Jiuyue?
Thinking of this, Li Huaer bit her lower lip lightly, looking unwilling to admit defeat.
Whatever Lin Jiuyue can do, I can do too!
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
Seeing Li Huaer like this, her parents stopped asking questions and just followed the group step by step, occasionally complaining about the hardships of fleeing famine.
Li Huaer was very annoyed after hearing this.
"Dad, Mom, stop talking. Everyone leaves like this. We don't even have much luggage. If you're tired, aren't we all tired too?"
Li Huaer's parents stopped talking when they heard her obviously impatient tone.
Half of the credit for Li Huaer's family being able to hold on until now goes to Li Huaer. If Li Huaer hadn't been pretty and her suitors hadn't kept her family in the dark by sending her food, the family would have been out of food long ago.
The couple also knew the reason, so they were more tolerant of Li Huaer.
After all, this whole family depends on this daughter.
"Haha, aren't mom and dad just complaining because they're tired from traveling? If Hua'er doesn't want to hear it, mom and dad won't say anything."
Li Huaer's father said somewhat angrily.
I haven't achieved much, but it's embarrassing to be scolded by my own daughter. Fortunately, everyone was busy on their way and no one noticed my side.
Li Huaer glanced at her parents.
Other people's parents can provide a good life for their children, but what about your own parents? Besides asking yourself if you have food to eat, you also have to ask yourself what to do!
Sometimes I really feel like I owed them in my previous life, and I’m here to repay them in this life.
After I deal with Ji Liangchuan, I will get rid of these burdensome parents as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, Li Huaer felt even more annoyed. She ignored the two of them and just lowered her head to hurry on her way.
"Boss, do you think Hua'er is angry?"
"Oh, how would I know? Let's go! This girl is just hot-tempered. If it weren't for the fact that she's still useful to us, I wouldn't have to speak so humbly to a girl like her. Look at the good girl you gave birth to!"
"How can you blame me for this? Can I give birth to this girl by myself? Besides, that's not what you said when Huaer brought food home."
At first, the two of them were still considerate of Li Huaer and spoke in low voices. But as they talked, they became more and more excited and were about to quarrel.
Li Huaer, who was walking in front, didn't know what was going on until she heard the noises getting louder and louder behind her. Then she realized that it was her parents arguing.
Li Huaer, who was already very irritable, became even more irritable.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing? Are you going to leave or not? If you want to argue, then argue enough before you leave. Don't delay us from our journey."
When Li Huaer's parents heard what she said, they looked around.
Sure enough, I saw that some of the villagers on their way were already watching the excitement in their own homes.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a couple quarreling?"
Li Huaer's mother yelled at her aunt who was watching the fun.
The aunt who was watching the fun suddenly became unhappy.
"What's going on? You two are arguing so much that we can't even watch? If you don't want people to see you, then don't argue here. This isn't your home."
"Exactly. In my opinion, you're just bored. It's already this late, and you still have time to bicker. We're all envious of you."
When Li Huaer heard these discussions, her face suddenly turned ugly.
The men in the village who liked her would often steal food for her. If this continued for a long time, her family would surely find out. So, these people were now speaking sarcastically to her parents.
"Who says we don't have a good daughter? Other people's daughters can earn food for the family, but our daughter doesn't have that ability!"
"If you want this kind of ability, go ahead and get it. I don't want it anyway! My daughter may not be as beautiful as a flower, but she has a sense of shame and knows what to do and what not to do."
The woman who was speaking also had a son, and her son was one of the ones who often sent food to Li Huaer.
The woman discovered it when she was in the village and tried to stop it, but it was useless!
My unfilial son would still secretly send food over. He wouldn't listen to me.
