On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

(Thanks to YUN TING for voting for 1 monthly ticket.)
Li Shiyue and his friends are already waiting at the ferry, and the family is discussing what to do with the donkey cart.

Yes, Mr. Chen’s name is that useful!
Of course, the most useful one was the copper plate with the word "Xuan" on it. When the clerk heard what Li Shiyang said, he asked in surprise: "Do you know Mr. Chen?"

The next thing was simple. Li Shiyang told Mr. Chen how he was given a bronze medal and recruited to go to Anton.

After the clerk and the young general saw the bronze plaque with the word "Xuan", they naturally believed Li Shiyang's words, because this young general was a member of the Xuanjia Army and he himself was wearing a bronze plaque. When the two were compared, they seemed to be carved from the same mold, which could not be faked.

So, Li Shiyang, Li Shiyue and Li Wangshui stayed behind and asked other villagers to go back and report the news. Half an hour later, more than 50 people from Lijia Village arrived.

Li Shiyang personally wrote down the names of the people in the village and the five girls and five children who were rescued and handed them over to the clerk.

Then, the young general specially sent a soldier to show the way to the ferry, and he also told the manager of the ferry about the people from Lijia Village and asked them to arrange a boat to Dongmu Port as soon as possible.

Although the boat was not small, it was not big enough to accommodate all the belongings of every household, let alone large animals like donkeys and carts, which were impossible to get on board.

Therefore, Li Shiyue and his family are discussing what to do with the donkey and other livestock.

"They are considerate. There are people who buy animals and carts over there, but the price is a little low."

Li's mother really felt sorry for her donkey and cart. It was thanks to these donkey and cart that the family had been able to make the journey. It was these donkey and cart that the Li family was able to afford when Li's grandfather was still alive.

This donkey is still in its prime. It would be a real pity to sell it at such a low price now.

“It’s better to sell it.

The manager said that it would cost thirty cents for one person to get on board, and an extra gift would cost ten cents more. If one wanted to go on board on a cart, it would cost eighty to a hundred cents for a large cart and fifty cents for a small cart. And one would have to wait until the next morning's boat to leave.

So it would be better to sell it, and then buy a new one when Anton settles down."

Since Li Wangming said so, Li's mother could only nod in agreement.

"Fortunately, I didn't throw away the pole along the way, otherwise I would have to spend money to buy it now, which would be a huge loss."

While putting cooking utensils and clothes into the basket, Li's mother complained to Zheng Meiniang.

Li Shiyue watched Li Wangming look at the wooden cabinet that he had been carrying on the donkey cart all the way. That cabinet was a heavy wooden cabinet that Grandmother Li had forbidden him to throw away. It was naturally impossible for him to carry the cabinet onto the boat at this moment.

Li Wangming stood in front of the wooden cabinet for a while, then walked forward and opened the cabinet with the key.

Yes, there is a lock on the cabinet door. The key was found on the day when Grandmother Li died. When Mother Li was tidying up Grandmother Li, she found a key hanging around Grandmother Li’s neck.

As soon as Li's mother found the key, she gave it to Li Wangming. Li Wangming took the key but never opened the cabinet to take a look.

Li Shiyue had speculated at the time that maybe what Li's father said about the gold left by Li's grandfather was true. The gold was probably hidden in the cabinet that Li's grandmother strongly opposed to throwing away.

Otherwise, no matter how difficult the journey was, Grandma Li would not have allowed the cabinet to be thrown away.

With a "click", the lock was opened. Li Wangming opened the cabinet and could see clearly inside that there was a thick coat. The coat took up most of the space inside the cabinet, and the remaining half was filled with a few pieces of brightly colored cloth.

As soon as Li Wangming picked up the thick coat, he felt that the weight was wrong. No matter how thick the coat was, it couldn't be so heavy.

Li Shiyue had been watching from the side. When she saw Li Wangming's expression, she knew something was wrong, so she went forward. Li Wangming winked at Li Shiyue, and Li Shiyue reached out to take the jacket. It was indeed a little heavy. "Mother, find a piece of cloth and put this jacket away.

Brother Shiyang said that the winter in Andong is long and much colder than here. This coat can be given to my second uncle in the future. Keeping it will save money."

Li's mother did not suspect anything. She found a piece of wrapping cloth from the basket and took the jacket that Li Shiyue handed over. Li's mother was a woman who was used to doing needlework. She knew as soon as she touched it that no matter how thick the jacket was, it could not be so heavy.

When she met Li Shiyue's eyes again, Li's mother naturally understood that there must be gold and silver sewn secretly inside the jacket. This was probably the gold and silver left by Li's grandfather that Li's father had begged Li's grandmother for.

Li's mother pretended to be calm and folded the jacket, then took the pieces of bright cloth handed to her by Li Wangming and wrapped them into the bag.

Later, the Li family sold the donkey, the cart and the wooden cabinet, and used the money to buy other people's baskets. Now the Li and Zheng families only had four large baskets left. The baskets contained bags of grain, salt jars and some cooking utensils. The clothes and gold and silver were all carried directly on their backs.

The new bag wrapped by Li's mother was directly given to Li Wangming to carry. It was something left by Li's grandmother, so it must be given to Li Wangming.

The sun was high in the sky when the ferry finally returned.

Hearing the words of the ferry manager, the people of Lijia Village came one after another, paid copper coins according to the number of people and the number of gifts, and lined up to board the boat.

The Li family and the Zheng family are next to each other. Both families have large families. Although women make up the majority, they are all energetic, not to mention that Li Shiyue is standing in the front.

Even though Li Shiyue didn't have a hatchet on her waist at the moment, given her performance along the way, who would dare to bully her?

In fact, because of Li Shiyue's bad reputation, the Li family was able to get on the boat after Li Shiyang.

Behind the Li and Zheng families came the family of Li Wangshui and Zhou Lanhua. Actually, it was Li's father and Qin Tao's family of three who followed behind Li Shiyue's family. However, Qin Tao and Li's father had a quarrel at the ferry over selling the donkey cart, which delayed them. Li Wangshui didn't care about Li's father and directly took Zhou Lanhua, Dazhuang and Xiaozhuang to line up behind Li Shiyue.

So, when Li's father and Qin Tao came back, they had to follow Li Wangshui.

Next came Gou Laosan and Third Aunt. Gou Laosan was a ruthless man. He sold all his belongings, including his cart, and only exchanged them for two baskets. In one basket sat the skinny Third Aunt, and in the other basket were grain bags and other useful things.

It took almost an hour just to get on the boat. Almost all the people on the boat were from Lijia Village, with only a few strangers.

At about noon, the boat finally started moving and headed towards Dongmu.

Li Shiyue stood on the deck, watching the shore getting farther and farther away, feeling an unspeakable melancholy in his heart.

Before she could figure out why she felt this way, the electronic system in her mind started to speak: "Mission discovered. Host, please assist the female supporting role Qin Tao in revealing the true identity of the male supporting role Li Wangguang!

After completing the task, you will get a chance to win a prize."

Li Shiyue turned around and saw the face of his scumbag father.
