A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Dalang placed a backpack on a flat surface and a cutting board on top of the backpack, which served as a dining table.

Dazhu was eating there with Zhizheng and the others, and this space was just enough for the couple.

Liu Kerong sat down opposite her. Just as she was about to raise her upper body, she suddenly followed the light of the oil lamp through the rough rattan backpack on the ground.

There was obviously a flour cloth bag inside the backpack, which seemed to contain a small half of the dough, less than the height of a fist.

She knew that Ren Meiluo's family had nothing to eat except for half a bag of millet that she got from Wang Baoquan.

Staring at the things in the backpack, Liu Kerong looked at Ren Meiluo with a smile and said:

"Sister-in-law, to be honest with you, my family is barely making ends meet.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have the nerve to come and ask you for help."

Ren Meiluo could see clearly where Liu Kerong was staring at. She also knew the current situation of Liu Kerong's family - they had to rely on borrowing from fellow villagers for food.

If it was something else, she would lend it, but the things in this bag could never be taken out.

"I know your family is having a hard time, but luckily we have a lot of people. You can borrow money from everywhere and should be able to get through this difficult time."

Ren Meiluo was not stupid. If it were in the past, she might have lent it to Liu Kerong, but now the things she had were hard-earned and there was no way she could lend it to her.

She ate while playing it safe, trying to get away with the matter.

Liu Kerong listened to Melo's words, snorted softly, and asked with controlled emotions:

"Everyone else has borrowed it, and now your family is the only one left. It seems that you don't want to lend it to me anymore?"

Ren Meiluo didn't respond to her. She really didn't want to lend it and couldn't lend it.

Ren Meiluo remained silent and continued to eat, which made Liu Kerong a little annoyed. She suppressed her emotions and raised her voice:

"I don't have to borrow the food. I told you I was going to help in the kitchen. How is your talk with the wine going?"

Helping in the kitchen was a job she had managed to get with great difficulty, so she certainly couldn't afford to lose it. Even though Wen Meijiu disagreed, she didn't dare to say anything more.

He ate up all the food in the bowl after slurping a few times, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, let Melo put the bowl down, and then slowly said:

"I told you what happened. Someone has already chosen the wine. There's nothing I can do."

Of course Liu Kerong didn't believe what she said. After she told Ren Meiluo about this, she had been secretly watching Wen Meijiu's every move.

Who knows how she talked to Wen Meijiu? Before she said it, Dong Lanzhi was still working. After she finished speaking, Wen Meijiu immediately went to find two maids to help. It was obvious that she was not going to give her a chance.

The candidate for the warm wine had already been chosen, and Ren Meiluo spoke without thinking.

Unsure whether the wine was directed at her, she asked again:

"What's the relationship between those two girls and the wine?"

Ren Meiluo knew very well that it didn't matter, but wouldn't that be indirectly admitting that Wen Meijiu didn't give her any face at all?

In order to save face, Ren Meiluo lowered his eyelids, fiddled with the dishes in front of him, and lied:

"I heard from her that it was some distant relative from her mother's side. I didn't ask for the details."

"Okay, got it."

She didn't find any work, nor did she borrow any food. After sitting here for a long time, Ren Meiluo finished his meal and didn't offer to let her go.

After licking her lower lip, Liu Kerong stood up to leave, and Ren Meiluo stood up to see her off.

As Ren Meiluo stood up, a puff of white smoke came out from the torn apron pocket around her waist and then spread all over the ground.

This scene not only shocked Liu Kerong, but also Dalang, who was squatting on the ground eating nearby.

Although not much white flour was spilled, this small handful was precious enough. It would be such a pity if it was scattered on the ground!

"You bitch, you're not good at your work, it would be better if you just trembled on the chopping board!"

Dalang felt distressed and rubbed the flour that was scattered on the ground with his feet, but he couldn't pick it up anymore.

"It's okay. Meijiu won't argue with me over such a small thing."

Ren Meiluo put his hands in his belly pockets and pushed Liu Kerong out, and Liu Kerong was forced to follow him out.

As they walked together, Liu Kerong felt unhappy and muttered:

"The wine is so abundant, and it belongs to my fellow villagers. Why can't you just give in and let me stay?"

Ren Meiluo now has warm wine and eats much better than before. He not only has white flour pancakes, but also vegetables and meat. His life is so comfortable.

She thought that this might be the reason why Liu Kerong took the initiative to come to her to reconcile.

In comparison, Liu Kerong was much more miserable. The two of them were good sisters who could talk about anything.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Those two girls are relatives, and I'm a family."

Although he said this, he didn't think so in his heart. Ren Meiluo felt that Wen Meijiu was deliberately not using Liu Kerong because she was resentful of her.

At the same time, Ren Meiluo was also glad that Wen Meijiu did not hold a grudge against her.

**

Under the protection of the escort team, the team's life was obviously much more comfortable and stable than before. They traveled for several consecutive days, walking seventy to eighty miles every day. The most they walked on one day was ninety miles.

From my hometown to Donghai County, in addition to the road I have already taken, I also have to pass through Yangshan County and Muyuan County.

Wen Meijiu was not clear about the situation in Muyuan County, but as he watched Yangshan County approaching, the situation was not optimistic.

The drought in Yangshan County became more serious, with more and more victims and the bark of the trees being stripped off.

In the places we passed before, even if it was dry, no matter whether it was clean or not, we could still find water sources. But here, water sources are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

We were lucky enough that evening and finally arrived at a town to stay.

Because everyone had been traveling very fast for several days, and there was no place to rest along the way, they could only spend the night in the wild or in a deserted temple.

It's so hard to find a place to rest, who wouldn't want to find a comfortable place to rest?

Wen Meijiu has indirectly helped everyone solve the safety issue. As for the problem of where to stay, everyone should do their best. She can't help.

The town is not big. There is only one inn in the town, but it looks quite large.

Because of the severe drought, there is little vegetation in this area, and yellow soil is flying everywhere. It is uncomfortable to look at when it falls on people.

The village chief came to discuss with Wen Meijiu and wanted to stay in this inn. Wen Meijiu also had the same idea, and the two hit it off.

The village chief announced that everyone should find a place to rest and gather at the entrance of the inn tomorrow morning.

The inn was right next to the official road, with a few courtyards scattered around it, all made of half-earth walls. It seemed that the people had fled long ago.

Those who are willing and have money can stay in the inn with the village chief and Wen Meijiu. Those who are not willing can just stay here for one night.

The inn is just big, and from the outside it looks like it's all made of wood, so it must be quite old.

Wen Meijiu and the village chief entered the inn together. The lobby was deserted. As soon as they entered, a waiter standing by the counter came up to them and asked them a lot of questions.

After asking, he whispered a few words to the shopkeeper standing behind the counter, asked them to pay the money, and then led them upstairs.

"Why is there no customer here?"

Wen Meijiu was very puzzled and asked the guy walking in front of him.
