Uncle Wen also knew that he was not a manly person in the past.
He scratched his head and smiled apologetically.
"Mom, I'll change from now on. If I run into Daya and that bastard again, I'll definitely teach that bastard a lesson.
Even though I failed to protect my daughter in the end, I will not let him bully her."
"That's right, Second Brother, that's what you have to do. You'll be the eldest brother in our family from now on, so you have to set an example in everything.
It won't do if I continue to be incompetent and retreat whenever something goes wrong like before.
I, your mother, still need your protection, and your wife and children also need your support. As a man with a family, you must be responsible and have a sense of responsibility..."
Xu Yiding nodded secretly after listening to this. What the old lady said made a lot of sense. She was not like an old lady from a farming family at all.
"Okay, here comes the money, here comes the money."
The joyful part of handing out money is everyone’s favorite, including Xiushui’s.
The person who receives the money does not necessarily think about spending it all, but rather about the satisfaction of feeling the money.
The person who was handing out the money looked at everyone laughing foolishly and started laughing too.
It was like... stupidity was contagious, and Xu Yiding looked at him in surprise.
Why didn’t I realize before that the life of this ordinary family is so interesting?
He thought he was just a spectator, but who would have thought that after Xiushui had rewarded his entire family, he would also stuff a tael of silver into his hand.
"Old man, you should go shopping too. Of course, everyone only has a certain amount of money, so if you have more, you'll have to make up for it yourself."
The old man looked at the silver ingot in his hand, feeling a little dazed.
Before the accident, he had many relatives and friends.
However, ever since those famous evildoers turned against him and attacked him, those people treated him as a ghost.
When I was at my lowest point, I was kicked out when I wanted to borrow money for food.
All the disappointments in life made him extremely disappointed in human nature.
However, this person, whom he had just met for one night, not only provided him with food and drink, but also treated him as a family member and gave him money!
The heart that had been blocked for a long time seemed to have been uncorked, and all the frustrations were released.
The old man clenched the silver ingot tightly, holding it with great cherishment and laughing.
"Okay, go ahead and buy some. I'm already being provided with food and shelter by you guys, so I'll just stay here and look after these simple belongings of yours.
However, I, the old man, must accept this money and cannot return it to you."
"Yes, yes, it's originally given to you. It's your own business whether you spend it or not. Old man, you really don't want to go shopping?
You know, we're fleeing famine, we don't know where we're going, and we don't know what the next city will be like. Are you sure you don't want to go and take a look?"
The old man is very determined
"No, you guys go ahead, I'll stay here and watch these things."
Seeing how determined he was, Xiushui stopped trying to persuade him.
"Okay, I'll bring you something delicious later. Of course, I have to be there before I can bring it to you."
"You said you would take it, so you can't renege on it."
The old man was very cunning, which made Xiushui look at him again.
Last night, the old man was very weird.
Why do I feel like he has regained some energy today?
Well, there are still some differences between before and after.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Being energetic is a good thing. It’s better than being depressed like yesterday.
Everyone split into several groups, and Uncle Wen Er took Uncle Wen San to meet the villagers.
The whole family nearby followed the old lady.
Xiushui Changkang Xiufa's older children took the younger ones out for a stroll.
I originally wanted to take my brothers and sisters to buy some food, but who knew that they almost all had breakfast along the way, and didn’t even see the candied haws and other things.
Moreover, people on the street were walking in a hurry, and many businesses were actually packing up their things.
The more I walked around Xiushui, the more depressed I felt.
We arrived at a rice shop and saw the owner was chasing people out.
"Let's go, let's go. We're out of food. We can't even eat. We're planning to pack up and head south. Alas, the heavens are cruel and won't give us a way to survive..."
Chang Kang's face darkened when he heard this.
"Luckily, Xiushui, you bought some food yesterday, otherwise we would be in big trouble today."
Xiushui was worried because those people like Uncle Chu who had no food were all relying on coming here to buy food.
What should I do now that I can’t buy anything?
Could it be that she is going to act alone again?
It's not that she is a saintly person, but Chu Laowu and his group of people who have bought their way out have really run out of food.
If we run out of food along the way, we will have to buy it from them.
She could still make some plans and find excuses in this city.
If someone asked to buy food while she was on the road, what would she do? What would the old village chief do?
Besides, we have been fleeing all the way here, and we all get along well with each other.
People like Chu Laowu, Lao Qian and Lao Li have vision and brains.
With them following us all the way, we can discuss things more easily.
Never mind, I'll just give you a hand.
Thinking of this, she secretly checked the space.
It is not a problem to buy one or two thousand kilograms of grain with points.
The problem is how to get Uncle Chu and the others to buy it!
Thinking that they would not be able to buy food in a while and would definitely follow her to her temporary residence, she would go back alone, put the food at the door, and then move it in one by one.
He did it as soon as he thought of it and turned around to discuss it with Chang Kang.
"Brother Changkang, take my brothers and sisters and keep an eye on it. I think we need to look for other places to see if there is any place selling salt.
If you have any, please bring some to the villagers. All the grain has been sold out, and I'm afraid the salt will be angry too."
Chang Kang also knew that food and salt were necessary for them. If the villagers did not have these things, their things would become enviable.
"Okay, let's just walk around a bit and then go back. I thought it would be fun, but now it looks like the city has been affected too. Many people are packing their bags. I'm afraid in a few days, the city will be deserted."
After that, tell Hei Mei to let her stay.
But who knew that the black girl would just shake her head.
"Sister, let Changtong go with them. I'll go with you so I can keep an eye on you if anything happens."
This girl must be so alert. She does have something wrong, but how did you know...
Forget it, this girl is clear-headed and seems to have a very high IQ.
"Okay, just...don't be too surprised if something strange happens later."
"I already knew it. Don't worry, I'm the best at keeping secrets."
