Quickly wear the boss and don’t be cannon fodder

Before Su Yan even opened her eyes, she felt a gust of wind from a palm strike, and she reacted without thinking.

"Snapped!"

"Su Yan, how dare you hit my son!"

"You've gone too far! You wretched woman, how dare you hit me!"

Two furious voices rang out at the same time. Su Yan opened her eyes and saw a ragged old woman and a dirty, ugly, and dark-skinned man glaring at her.

The other person pretended to hit her, and without thinking, Su Yan kicked him, sending him flying three meters away.

"Second brother!"

"Son! Son, are you alright?"

At this point, she finally understood the situation.

A long line of identically dressed, emaciated refugees were watching the commotion. It was easy to guess that they were probably fleeing for their lives.

One of the men, with a cunning look on his face, scolded in a mock-authoritative tone, "Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? Everyone is starving, what else do you want to cause trouble for? Sell Daya and Erya, and you can get some grain in return. Do you want your whole family to die together? Or do you want to be expelled from the Li family with them?"

Having taken the time to absorb the memories, Su Yan didn't take Li Laoda's threat seriously.

"mother......"

Three thin, short, dirty, and dark-skinned little girls hid behind her.

Su Yan coldly stared at the Li family members standing opposite him.

"They're just two girls. They'll be gone sooner or later anyway. At least we can get some food in return. It's a way for them to repay the family for raising them all these years," said Old Mrs. Li, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

At the same time, she looked at Su Yan with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

After all, how did the second daughter-in-law, who had always been honest, timid, and incompetent, suddenly become so assertive?

"That's right, Second Sister-in-law, don't delay. This opportunity won't come again. You can still get a bag of coarse grains now, but in a couple of days, people might not even be willing to trade for half a bag."

"If you want to exchange, use your daughter. Don't even think about taking my daughter," Su Yan said coldly.

"You think I'm being too nice to you? This is my daughter. I can change her if I say so." Li Lao Er had already gotten up from the ground. He glared at Su Yan, as if he wanted to rush up and beat her up.

But Su Yan's kick was quite powerful, making him hesitant to make any rash moves for a moment.

Li Shan is the man the original owner of this body married; he is the second son in his family and a farmer.

The Li family has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Li Hai, had two sons and one daughter; the second son, Li Shan, had three daughters; and the third son, Li Hu, had one son and one daughter.

The family had not divided the property. Because she only had three daughters, the original owner felt inferior in the Li family. Not only did she do the most work, but her three daughters were also bullied by the children of the first and third wives. The children of the first and third wives could all go to school, but the three daughters of the second wife could not go to school and had to do housework.

The whole family's clothes were all left to nine-year-old Da Ya and seven-year-old Er Ya to wash.

Even four-year-old Sanya has to cut pig feed and sweep the floor every day.

The days were tough before, but at least we had some thin porridge to drink.

Now, after three years of severe drought, all the villages within a hundred miles except Dahe Village have begun to flee their homes.

Today is the fifth day of their escape from famine. Along the way, the three sisters have only had half a cornbread a day and are already skin and bones from hunger. And that's not all.

Seeing that the Li family was running out of food, they came up with the idea of ​​exchanging their two daughters, Daya, Erya, and Sanya, for grain.

Li Laoda has already made an agreement with Zhang the butcher from the next village to exchange Daya for a bag of coarse grains.

As for what Butcher Zhang would do with Daya, they didn't care.

Before Su Yan arrived, the original owner of this body rebelled against the Li family for the first time.

"Anyone who dares to exchange my daughter for food today will die!" Su Yan coldly glanced at the Li family members, took out a dagger from his pocket, and assumed a posture ready to attack at any time.

"Are you crazy? You're starving to death, and you're still showing off here. If you don't want to exchange, then you can forget about eating a single grain of food from this house," Old Lady Li threatened with a gloomy face.

"Fine, I won't eat, but nobody can touch my child."

Li Shan was so angry at Su Yan that he laughed and spat, "Fine, fine, if you want to die with them, I can't stop you. Even if you starve to death, don't come begging me for food. Don't blame me for not remembering our years of marriage."

“Even tigers don’t eat their cubs. You’re not even as good as an animal. How could I possibly rely on you?” Su Yan said disdainfully.

“Su Yan, you said it yourself. You’ve only given birth to three daughters all these years. I told you to divorce me long ago. I’ve kept you around because you’re honest and dutiful. Now you dare to disobey me for three worthless girls. I can’t keep you here anymore.”

"Heh...then let's get a divorce."

"Divorce? You wish! I'm divorcing you. I bet if you leave me, you and these three good-for-nothings will be reduced to ashes within three days."

If Su Yan hadn't come, Li Shan's words wouldn't have been an exaggeration.

Nowadays, everyone is fleeing famine, and some people are even exchanging children to eat. These four women, mother and daughters, are clearly the kind of vulnerable group who have no fighting ability, pose no threat, and can be bullied by everyone.

The subtle, imperceptible gazes around them had already swept over Su Yan and her three daughters several times.

Now that Su Yan has been divorced, someone will probably take action against them tonight.

The Li family had precisely grasped this point, betting that Su Yan wouldn't dare to resist.

However, to everyone's surprise, Su Yan said coldly, "Fine, even if I die, it's better than following a beast like you. Useless coward, a family of scoundrels, do you really think I'm willing to serve a family of beasts? You're the kind of things that will be punished by heaven sooner or later."
