On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 40 I am the master of this family!

After all, there are not many people who trust and admire Li Shiyue as much as Zhou Lanhua. Most people would not be willing to give up their belongings that they carried with them even when fleeing from famine.

"It's better to throw away this millstone. It's too heavy."

“Where can I throw this?

Not every stonemason can make a small millstone like this, so I can’t throw it away. I’ll just put it in the frame and carry it on my back.”

"Then let's not use this wooden bed anymore. We can build one when we move to a new place."

"No, no, this is top-quality walnut wood. My father spent a long time searching for it. I have to keep it.

It doesn't matter, just put it at the bottom, I can push it."

However, there are still people like Zhou Lanhua. Gou Laosan and Third Aunt are the ones who listen to advice.

Originally, because Third Aunt was old and could not walk far by herself, most of the time it was Gou Laosan who pushed the cart with Third Aunt.

Besides the necessary food bags and two wooden barrels for water, there were only some clothes, shoes, socks, cooking utensils, and two baskets filled with miscellaneous items on the cart.

At this moment, Gou Laosan was pushing things off the cart. When Aunt San saw Gou Laosan moving the two baskets down, she got up anxiously and went to take a look.

"Third brother, these can all be used, so don't throw them away."

The third dog shook his head and said, "Aunt, we should just throw it away. Now it seems that we need to run fast. If we walk slowly, we will be left behind and it will be the end of us."

Gou Laosan looked around and saw all the needles, thread, and pieces of cloth. He even kept only two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and was planning to throw the watering can into the pile.

How could the third aunt, who had lived a frugal life for almost her entire life, tolerate such a waste of things? The old lady felt a pain in her heart as she stood nearby and watched.

Gou Laosan was also very distressed, but he knew in his heart that what Li Shiyue said was right. If they wanted to escape quickly, the less things and burdens they had, the faster they could run.

The third dog looked at the two piles of things thrown on the ground, and said to his third aunt who was already crying beside him with a wry smile: "Aunt, these things are gone. When I settle down in the future, I will work hard to earn them back.
But it would be a shame if we both lost our lives because of these things;"

At this point, Gou Lao San suddenly knelt down in front of Third Aunt. When the eldest man knelt down, he was almost as tall as Third Aunt.

With tears in his eyes, Gou Lao San smiled and said to Aunt San: "Aunt, you are the only relative I have in this life. Your well-being is more important than anything else!
As long as you are alive, I have a home. Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future!"

The old lady looked at the third dog kneeling in front of her, tears kept falling down her face.

"Hey! Good boy, get up!

Auntie understands. Just throw it away. Nothing is more important than ourselves!

Get up quickly, Third Brother, get up quickly! "

Third Aunt, a little old lady, could clearly see the current situation, but Li Shiyue's family was blocked.

Grandmother Li half-knelt on the ground, holding the cabinet tightly and refusing to let go, and no matter how Li Wangming tried to persuade her, she would not throw it away.

"Mother, once we settle down in the new place, I will immediately go up the mountain to find a good piece of wood and find a good carpenter to make you a cabinet exactly like this one, okay?

This is really too heavy. How can our car run fast with it?"

“No, you can’t throw this away!
This was what my father personally hired someone to make for me when I got married!
This is my only thought! I can’t throw it away! "

Li Wangming had no choice but to give up the cabinet and turn to the heavy vegetable jar in the car. The jar was originally used to hold pickled vegetables, but they had been eaten up on the road, so it was later used as a container for water.

But during the journey, the water in the jar had long been drunk up, so what use was there to the jar?

But when Grandma Li saw Li Wangming carrying the vegetable jar out, she became unhappy again. She stood up, still leaning on the wooden stick as a crutch, "Wangming, you can't throw away this jar!

This jar was bought the year your father and I got married. It was made by Cai Laosi from the Xicai family. It is watertight and very useful."

"Mother!
This jar is too heavy, so I can’t keep it. I’ll buy you another one like it when we get to the land later.”

"Wang Ming, no, this is different, this..."

Li Shiyue, Mother Li, and Shitou were sorting out the grain bags. She was annoyed when she heard Grandmother Li and Li Wangming nagging at her. She couldn't stand it any longer.

After Li Shiyue tied up the bag of grain in her hand, she turned around and went to the donkey cart. She walked over in two or three steps. Li Wangming, who was still arguing with Grandmother Li over the vegetable jar, looked at Li Shiyue with some confusion: "Shiyue?"

Li Shiyue glanced at Grandmother Li, and without responding to Li Wangming's words, he stepped forward and snatched the vegetable jar from the two men.

Under Grandmother Li's incredulous gaze, Li Shiyue raised the vegetable jar high above his head in front of the two of them and threw it hard on the ground beside him.

Wow, this jar is really thick and it’s not cracked at all.

The vegetable jar lying on the ground seemed to be laughing at Li Shiyue's arrogance. Li Shiyue really had a vast grassland in his heart.

During this journey, Li Wangming already knew that Li Shiyue was stronger than men at a young age. The axe was like a toy in her hand. Not to mention that Li Shiyue also stayed with Li Qiutian, who inherited strong character from his family, and learned some knife-wielding skills from Zheng Meiniang.

But Li Wangming really didn't expect that Li Shiyue was so strong that he could lift the jar over his shoulder.

Therefore, he stared in amazement as Li Shiyue immediately pulled out the hatchet from his waist, held the hatchet with both hands, and chopped at the vegetable jar lying on the ground, as if he was chopping firewood.

At the first blow, cracks appeared on the jar.

Li Shiyue was really angry. His fighting strength doubled in anger. The second time, the jar finally proved that one force can break ten thousand troops. The jar broke into pieces.

The ground was covered with broken pieces of varying sizes. Looking at the fragments, Li Shiyue finally felt relieved.

She turned around and was about to go back to tying the grain bags, but Grandmother Li didn't count it as hers.

"Li Shiyue!

It's the other way around!

I told you to keep the jar and not throw it away, but you just smashed it!

Don't think that just because you are strong enough to kill someone, you can be the master of this family?
I tell you, I’m not dead yet!”

Is Li Shiyue afraid of what Grandmother Li says now?
She is afraid of nothing.

People are like this. When Li's father was alive, Li's grandmother couldn't even ride on a donkey cart.
After Li's father left, Li's mother and Li Wangming let Li's grandmother ride on a donkey cart. These days, Li's grandmother was so "spoiled" that she seemed to have forgotten the days when she had to rely on a wooden stick to escape famine. She even forgot that her feet were worn out and her legs were swollen.

Li Shiyue turned around and looked at Grandmother Li with a smile on her face. The light from the torches hanging on the donkey cart was dim and could not illuminate people's faces clearly.

Li Shiyue's face was seen from Grandmother Li's perspective. It was dim and flickering in the light of the fire and could not be seen clearly.

Li Shiyue crossed his arms and looked at Grandmother Li, then said to her calmly, "Grandma, you also know that I can kill people.

So you know that you relied on us sisters for protection along the way?

The capital city is about to be in chaos, we have to travel light and save our lives, is it important for Tanzi to survive? "

Li Shiyue raised her eyebrows and continued to say to Grandmother Li: "Haha, the useless broken jar is broken, so what? Grandma, do you want this jar or your life?"

At this point, Li Shiyue's face turned serious, and the smile on her face disappeared. She said to Grandmother Li in a stern voice: "I am the one who makes the decision in this family!
Grandma can listen if she wants to, and she has to listen even if she doesn’t want to!
If anyone stands in the way of my family's survival, I, Li Shiyue, will chop off his head!"

　The previous chapter was modified again... I went back and took a look, and found that some parts were deleted because of the bloodiness.

　　No, the review at Qidian is really too strict...

　　A few days ago, it was changed for me because it was too close to the truth, and now it is changed again because it is bloody...
