It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

Feng Gu stood up and stopped looking at Qiu Yue. "You are pregnant, and Shun Sui is a man of his prime. Who do you think can go hungry?"

"We are lucky enough to be able to take care of ourselves. Don't blame me for not giving you extra food. Because I can only take care of it for a day or two, but not for a month or two. Now the disaster has just begun, and it will only get harder in the future."

Qiuyue said with tears in her eyes: "Aunt, I understand the truth, but I can't bear to see my younger brother come to me."

"Don't forget, of the several children in the family, you are the only one sold. You are going to be a mother, so think about it yourself. Don't forget the bond between master and servant just because you feel sorry for it."

This sentence was harsh enough, and Feng Gu said it with a hard heart. If she allowed that family to cling to Qiuyue, something would happen sooner or later, and it would also be very likely to endanger Xiaoxiao, which Feng Gu would never allow.

When disaster strikes, they have done their best to protect the people around them. They are not Bodhisattvas and do not have the ability to save all living beings.

Without waiting for Qiuyue to reply, Fenggu walked out.

Qiuyue was stunned on the spot, thinking carefully about what Fenggu said. Does this mean she has to abandon her family?

"If you want to save some food for your family, just take half of my rations and stop saving it for yourself." Shunsui came in quietly.

Not hearing her husband's harsh objection made Qiuyue calm down, "Did I really do something wrong?"

How to answer this?

Fenggu has made it very clear that he has also become the "bad guy". As a husband, he just needs to comfort her. Qiuyue can figure it out.

"Don't cry. What if you give birth to a little crybaby? I don't know how to comfort a child."

The honest Shunsui's words unexpectedly sounded funny. Qiuyue burst into laughter and gently hit Shunsui.

Including my brother's children, there are more than ten people in the family. Even if we save half of the food rations, what good will it do!

Feng Gu was right. The disaster had just begun and the family was not starving. I was too soft-hearted. I could still be rational when facing my parents, but I lost my composure when I saw my brother whom I hadn't seen for several years.

I’d better just disappear from now on!

Thinking about it carefully, the younger brother saw that his eyes were shining, but he didn't say a word of concern for her. He was completely focused on his master's business. In addition to complaining, he also wanted to work as a clerk in the shop.

There was no way she could agree to that.

In the end, I was blinded by the so-called "family affection".

Qiuyue touched her belly and looked at her husband, who was the person closest to her.

......

Weng Xiaoxiao and others left Yangzhou and rode at full speed towards Quanzhou Port. It was also because of their quick response that they just missed the refugee tide and escaped.

Quanzhou Port is located on the southeast coast, with a superior geographical location, and is an important port for going out to the sea.

Silk, tea, porcelain and other special products of the Qin Dynasty were continuously shipped overseas from here, while foreign goods such as spices, jewelry, rare animals and other foreign goods also came in through the Port of Quanzhou.

Merchant ships and passengers from all over the world gather here, and the goods are dazzling. The whole port is busy and prosperous.

"Brother, that person's skin is so white and her hair is yellow. Is that their ethnic clothing? Why is the skirt so big and reveals so much?" Kang Bao quickly retracted his gaze and grinned.

"Don't point at them. That's rude. People are shaped by the environment they live in. There's nothing strange about that."

If you haven't seen it before, you will find it novel. She has seen it before, although it was also in film and television materials. What she saw before her was a simplified version. The classical Western court dress was really exaggerated.

Kang Bao looked at Weng Xiaoxiao with admiration. His sister was knowledgeable, generous and steady, and she remained calm no matter what she saw.

They have been at the port for half a month, and have been shopping every day during this period.

Weng Xiaoxiao wanted to see various crops, but there were too few of them. Occasionally, when she came across one, she didn't recognize it and had no desire to buy it.

Kangbao and Chunxia were curious about all the Western items, and the three women enjoyed shopping there.

Xiao Kong is half a businessman, so he naturally pays attention to business opportunities in all aspects and is wandering around with great interest.

Ping An was the only one who suffered because he felt that all the things were flashy and useless and only made people dazzled. Later, he simply stopped looking at anything and just stood guard around the girls.

......

Usually when you are tired of shopping, you go to a teahouse to have a drink and rest for a while. Besides, this is a good place to get news.

"Brother Zhang, you didn't make it to the sea?"

"Don't even mention it. The last batch of goods cost us a lot of money, and it took some time to collect the goods. The monsoon came early, and everything happened at the same time. Who dares to go out to sea in the past two months? They're asking for their lives!"

Weng Xiaoxiao understood that the ships nowadays were all large sailing ships, and they must avoid the monsoon season.

"What new stuff did Brother Zhang bring back last time?"

"I bought some sweet potatoes on impulse, thinking people would be curious, but no one was willing to eat more even if they were just boiled in water, so I ended up wasting all my money."

"Bought too much? Or bought too expensive?"

The man smiled helplessly, "It's all there, it's hard to describe in a few words."

Sweet potato?

It’s not such a coincidence!

Is that the sweet potato she is looking for?

Weng Xiaoxiao stood up when she thought of it, "My dear brother, I am honored to meet you."

"Sir, you are so polite. What can I do for you?" The man surnamed Zhang stood up and returned the greeting, looking at the scholar in front of him.

"My last name is Weng. I'm here to travel in Quanzhou. I want to apologize to you two first. I just happened to hear you mention 'sweet potato'. Is that the word?"

It was normal for the conversation to be overheard in public. Since he had apologized, it was not appropriate to blame him. “Yes, I did mention sweet potatoes.”

"I'm curious about new things. Can you sell me your sweet potatoes? The price is negotiable."

Is the deal coming?

It’s just a pity!

The man surnamed Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's a pity that we can't sell it. The chef wasted some of it, and some of it rotted due to improper storage. It should be gone."

No way, just when I saw the dawn, I was thrown into darkness again? !

"Can you take it down with you to have a look? What if there is something useful? At least we can see it for ourselves. Brother Zhang's hard work will not be in vain." Weng Xiaoxiao grasped the hope and did not want to give up easily.

"Take your little brother to have a look. It's a good opportunity for me to see it too."

Since his friend had said so, the man could no longer refuse and called the waiter to settle the bill.

"I will pay for the tea. I hope you two brothers will give me this opportunity."

The other party was so polite and happened to have something to ask, so the man surnamed Zhang thanked him directly.

Naturally, they chatted for a while on the way. The man's surname was Zhang and his name was Chao. He had been in Quanzhou for many years and had a family and a business here.

As they walked, they stopped near a Western-style building.

"Brother Huang, did you attend the Mass presided over by Father Erwin?" (Mass, also known as the Eucharist, is a Catholic religious ceremony to commemorate the sacrifice of Jesus.)

"I came here once, but I didn't understand."
