Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

Xiao Lan was very moved after hearing this. She had been rejected several times when she took Xiao Wen to private schools in the past few days. She felt hopeless and wanted to work hard to earn money to hire a teacher for her children. But time waits for no one. Her younger brothers are getting older and if they don't go to school, they will miss the best age to study.

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "We are just doing a small favor. How can we accept such great kindness from your family?"

"Helping my parents out of trouble is already a huge favor. These are nothing." Hu Yidao said.

Xiao Lan quickly called her brothers over and said, "You guys have met some kind people. It's not easy to study and learn to read. You must study hard and don't let your uncle Hu and aunt down."

Hu Yidao and Liu were a little surprised when they heard Xiaolan say this. Seeing how Xiaolan treated her younger brother, they knew that they listened to her very much. And listening to what she said, she was just like a little adult. It seemed that their parents were right. This girl Xiaolan was not simple. She could not be treated as a child. The two looked at her several times in succession. Liu turned to Zhang and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, your Xiaolan will definitely have a great future."

Zhang smiled and said, "What's the point of having so much success or failure? I just hope that my daughter can grow up safely and live a smooth life. Why would I need to have so many successes?"

At this point, Zhang looked at Xiao Lan with moist eyes, "The fact that our family can live like this and survive in this bad year is all thanks to my daughter. Even though she is just a girl, I can guarantee that even if there are only a few boys, my Xiao Lan can compare to her."

Hu Yidao's house was very close to Xiaolan's house, and it only took a quarter of an hour by horse carriage to get there. In this way, the matter of the four children in the family going to school was settled.

Sheng Xuan, Zhang Shanfeng and his group had not been able to find work in the city. The refugees in the city were having a harder time. The people from Shengjia Village who had fled to the city with Xiaolan's family came to Xiaolan's family in twos and threes and borrowed ten bags of food.

Xiaolan's family changed from three meals a day to two meals a day.

By May, Xiaolan's family heard that Hu Yidao's family was living in poverty.

That night, Sheng Xuan carried a bag of beans on the ox cart and went to Hu's house with Xiao Lan. The father and daughter went in the dark without even lighting a torch.

When the two men knocked on Hu Yidao's door, Hu Yidao opened the door and saw that it was Sheng Xuan and Xiao Lan, father and daughter, and hurriedly welcomed them in.

When seeing Sheng Xuan unloading a bag of grain from the ox cart, Hu Yidao, a seven-foot-tall man, couldn't help but shed tears, "Only a kind-hearted family like you would still think of us at a time like this."

"That's not the case. Uncle Hu, you also know that my family has a batch of stored grain. You have many relatives, and I'm afraid some relatives who have no grain will come to borrow it. I know you can't refuse them. You should keep the grain well and don't let the children at home starve." Xiao Lan said.

While Xiaolan was talking, Liu brought out her daughter Xiaobao. Xiaobao was five years old. When she saw Xiaolan coming, she immediately hugged Xiaolan's thighs and called her sister.

Xiao Lan immediately picked up Xiao Bao and said with a distressed look on her face, "You have lost a lot of weight. You must not have eaten enough these days." Then she said to Liu, "Aunt, I am afraid that life will be even more difficult in the future. You must hide the food at home."

Seeing Xiaolan worrying about her family, Liu, who was originally very strong, burst into tears. "These days at home are really hard. Fortunately, I listened to you before and exchanged all the money in the family for food. Otherwise, with the current food prices, my family would have been unable to survive. To be honest, my family used to live well, but this month, the head of the family and the elderly in the family passed away." At this point, Liu could no longer hold back her tears. "Now that this person is gone, my family can't be cruel. We have to give some food to the family that has no food stored, so that the family can survive. Giving and giving, five kilograms today to this family, ten kilograms tomorrow to that family, my family's life has become difficult. Seeing that the food at home is getting less and less, Xiaobao has to cry for hunger every day, my heart is even more bitter."

At this time Hu Yidao also returned to the room. Seeing Liu and Xiaolan crying, he stood aside awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

When Liu saw him coming back, she immediately wiped away her tears and asked, "Have you hidden the food?"

"It's hidden well." Hu Yidao felt extremely distressed when he saw tears in Liu's eyes.

"Let's keep the food that Xiaolan's family sent for ourselves. No one who comes to our house this time can borrow it. These foods are for my Xiaobao to eat." Liu discussed with Hu Yidao.

"Well, we won't lend it. Let's keep it for ourselves to eat." Hu Yidao nodded quickly in response.

When Xiaolan and Shengxuan returned home, Shengxuan told the whole family about the situation of the Hu family. At this time, the whole family was not resting, and they were all leaving the door open for the father and daughter.

After a long while, Zhang Shanfeng sighed deeply, "It's so hard to live. If we hadn't come to your house, the grass on your grave would have grown very tall."

"Grandpa, everything will be fine. I won't let our family suffer." Xiao Lan said firmly.

Counting the days, Xiaoru will be giving birth soon. I wonder what’s going on in the Sheng family?

It’s still unknown when this world will get better. Even if Sheng Nuo is a scholar, what’s the use when God doesn’t give him food to eat?

Something bad had indeed happened to the old Sheng family, or more precisely, to the Sun family. After the midwife took out the dead body of the baby boy, Mrs. Sun fell on the chair with a limp. When she came to her senses, she rushed over and grabbed the eldest son of the Sun family, crying and shouting while beating him, "Even if you blame her, hate her, and can't let her live, you have to wait until she gives birth to the baby."

The eldest lady of the Sun family fainted instantly after being hit by her.

Sun Sheng's face turned livid. He waved his hand and asked the maid to take the midwife out. He also said, "Find a place to bury her."

After everyone left, he slumped down in a chair, not saying a word.

At this time, Xiaoru's mother, Wang, was crying in the yard. Sun Sheng was really annoyed and said to the servant beside him, "Tell her to shut up."

At this time, the maid who was serving Xiaoru in the delivery room ran in crying, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Auntie Ru's body is full of blood, and it won't stop. Master, what should we do?"

Sun Sheng rubbed his forehead tiredly and said to the servant beside him, "Go get the doctor."

The family's carriages had been exchanged for food, and the Sun family gradually declined. Only two maids and two servants were left in the house.
