If secretly sending food can help me get a daughter-in-law, I won't say anything.
The key point is that Li Huaer is shameless. She just keeps her stupid son hanging without giving any definite answer, which makes her very angry.
He also heard that it wasn't just his own stupid son who delivered food to Li Huaer, but several others.
In this famine year, how precious is food? My own family can't bear to eat it, and I have to watch my son being sent to someone else's house, and the most important thing is that I can't even go to the family to ask for an explanation. It really makes me feel so angry that I have no place to vent.
Now that I've finally found a chance to vent my anger, shouldn't I say something quickly?
"Mom, please stop talking. Sister Hua'er is not that kind of person. Otherwise, you'll ruin her reputation."
The woman glared at her son.
"Shut up, you ungrateful bastard! You're just an ungrateful bastard, giving away our food to outsiders!"
When the man heard this, he immediately became anxious and stepped forward to cover the woman's hands, fearing that she would say something unfavorable to Li Huaer.
"Mom, please stop talking. I voluntarily sent the food to Sister Hua'er. It has nothing to do with her. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
The woman slapped the hand that was covering her mouth.
"You're a traitor! They're obviously hanging you up, and you can't even see it. You're a fool, yet you're still defending them! In my opinion, if they sell you out in the future, you'll still be counting their coins."
The man did not resist when being beaten, but just stood there without saying a word.
The woman saw her son in this state and was instantly unable to bring herself to kill him. She said with a feeling of regret that his son had failed to live up to his expectations.
"You will suffer in the future!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
Time was running out, and the villagers, seeing that there was nothing exciting to see, dispersed and focused on getting on with their journey.
"Well, Sister Hua'er, don't take my mother's words to heart. I know you are not that kind of person."
Li Huaer's eyes were filled with tears of grievance. She held a handkerchief in her hand and occasionally touched her cheek with it, pretending to wipe away tears.
"Brother Zhuzi, you, you'd better not bring anything here again in the future, lest your mother come and humiliate me again."
Li Zhuzi became anxious.
"Sister Hua'er, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. Don't worry, your business is my business, and I won't ignore you."
Li Huaer looked at Li Zhuzi with a touched expression.
"Brother Zhuzi, thank you very much, but you just saw it, your mother..."
"I have received your kindness, but please leave me alone in the future..."
The more Li Huaer refused, the more Li Zhuzi felt that Li Huaer needed care.
"I see."
Li Zhuzi said he understood, but secretly swore in his heart that as long as he had something to eat, he would never let his sister Huaer go hungry.
Li Huaer smiled at Li Zhuzi.
This idiot, with his ability, it would be strange if I could look up to him.
Every time he stole some food, it was only the size of a fist, and he would be humiliated by his mother! Did he really think that everything he gave him was good stuff?
But there is not much food now, and every bit is better than nothing.
Although Li Huaer and Li Zhuzi are both villagers of Lijia Village, there is a generation gap between them.
In this day and age, it is quite normal for cousins to get married.
Lin Jiuyue was walking in front of the team. Because her hearing and vision were different from those of ordinary people, she heard most of what was happening behind the team.
Lin Jiuyue just watched the fun of other people's private affairs and didn't take it seriously.
At the village chief's instruction, the team had already prepared some dry food for today's journey last night, so they didn't have to stop for lunch.
After rushing and hurrying, they finally arrived at the border of Qiyang County before dark.
"Village Chief, it's getting late today. I'm afraid there's no hope for us to get into the city."
"Well, even if we go into the city now, most of the shops there are closed, and we won't be able to buy much."
"We've been traveling all day, so let's rest in Qiyang County. Once we've rested up, we can buy some supplies tomorrow and then head into the mountains to avoid attracting attention."
"Well, I'll go get some information later to see what the situation is."
Gu Chengyan took the initiative to inquire about the news.
The village chief was naturally relieved when someone took the initiative to inquire about the news.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ji family boy."
Gu Chengyan waved his hand.
I am now less and less averse to the identity of Ji Liangchuan, and I am even getting into the role.
"It's just a trip, not a big deal."
The village chief handed the money for buying supplies from the villagers to Gu Chengyan with trembling hands.
"Ji family boy, these silver coins belong to the villagers and are used to buy supplies. Take them all. You can use them when you buy things tomorrow."
Gu Chengyan didn't have any money, so he took it without any hesitation from the village chief.
I have to clear the way along the way, and then I have to go and inquire about the news. Tomorrow I have to take the villagers to the city to buy supplies, and I can't do it without money.
"Village Chief, I'll take it then."
The village chief nodded.
"Take it, it's what you deserve."
Lin Jiuyue sat aside and listened to the conversation between the village chief and Gu Chengyan.
"Village Chief, I'll go with Gu and Ji Liangchuan tomorrow. I'm strong and it will be easier for me to carry things."
Lin Jiuyue was afraid that the villagers would follow Gu Chengyan into the city, and if they didn't buy much supplies, they would be targeted by others.
If he went into the city with Gu Chengyan, there would be fewer people and they would naturally be less of a target.
The village chief lowered his head and thought about it.
"That's fine, but is it okay for just the two of you to go? Or should we bring two more?"
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
Bring two more people? No! These people in the village are not as strong as my brother. Bringing them into the city will only make us more conspicuous.
"Village chief, too many people will easily attract attention. Ji Liangchuan and I are enough."
"By the way, we finally made it to the city, but the villagers' silver probably won't buy us much."
"Go ask the villagers if they have anything they can exchange for money. Give it to us and we'll sell it in the city. We'll probably get some silver. Even if we don't get any, we can just take it back when the time comes."
When the village chief heard this, he thought it made sense.
"That's a good idea, but the villagers don't have anything good, so I guess they can't exchange it for much silver."
All the villagers had in their hands were some dried wild vegetables that had been dried in the sun these days, which were all worthless things.
But there are some herbs that may be worth some money, at least more valuable than dried wild vegetables, right?
Our team is traveling along mountain roads, so we'll dry the wild vegetables when they're ready. We'll exchange them for supplies now.
