Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

“Don’t panic, everyone!

I originally thought that if I didn't hide in the mouths of wild beasts, I would always be able to find some capital to settle down in the mountains.

Unexpectedly, God blessed me, not only did I get down the mountain safely, but I also got to pick a wild ginseng."

Xia Shengsheng paid attention to everyone's reactions, and almost everyone gasped.

I still remember that the last time I picked wild ginseng was many years ago.

A wild ginseng can be sold for five or six taels of silver!

I really didn't expect that this Xia family would be so lucky.

"So you didn't encounter any danger?" one of the women couldn't help but ask.

"It's not like I haven't encountered one. Not long after I entered the mountains, I encountered a wild boar with a green face and fangs. I was so scared at the time that I ran down the mountain. I felt that the whole mountain was shaking because of the wild boar. The hearts of those who were left were broken when the wild boar was performing."

Xia Shengsheng still wanted to tell everyone about the dangers in the mountains. Don't think that everyone would be as lucky as her and go to the mountains to pick wild ginseng. If something happened, she would be guilty of a serious crime.

There are many dangers in the mountains, and is it so easy to pick wild ginseng?

Even though she spent most of the day wandering around in the mountains, she only saw a small piece of immature Codonopsis pilosula.

Everyone felt their hearts aching as they listened to what Xia Shengsheng said.

"What happened next?" Liu Zhonghui couldn't help but want to hear what happened next!

After asking this question, Old Lady Liu beside him pinched him hard.

"Ouch! Grandma, why are you pinching me?"

Xia Shengsheng ignored the noise they were making and continued speaking under everyone's expectant gazes.

“Later, maybe because I was too scared, I just felt like the wild boar was right behind me and I was going to be buried in its mouth in the next second.

In the panic, my feet slipped and I rolled straight down the mountain."

hiss~

The others gasped when they heard it, as if they were there themselves.

“When I rolled down the hill, my head didn’t hit the trees on the hill, so I passed out. When I woke up again, I found myself in a huge pit.

The wild boar had long since disappeared.

I guess it was because I couldn’t get down to the deep pit that I was able to survive.

The wild ginseng was picked from the largest pit.”

"Mom, why didn't you tell us?"

"Yes! Mom, does it hurt?"

"Mother, you must have been terribly frightened at that time."

"Mom, please don't go to the mountains anymore, okay?"

When Xia Shengsheng's children heard this, they were all very worried. They didn't expect that the food their mother said she had exchanged for wild ginseng would be so difficult to obtain.

They suddenly hated themselves. If their mother didn't want to feed them or let them eat better, why would she risk going into the mountains?

From now on, they no longer want to eat any delicious food, as long as their mother is safe and sound!!

Xia Shengsheng touched the heads of several children to comfort them.

"Village chief, aunts, sisters-in-law.

The things I brought back were exchanged for the silver I earned from selling the wild ginseng. For these things, I spent all the money I earned from the wild ginseng at the cost of my life.

In addition to the farm tools that the family needs most, there are also cooking utensils and some simple food.

My mother-in-law asked me to be filial, but I really have nothing. The only things I got at the cost of my life must be used for my future survival.

If we have to give all this to my mother-in-law, it will simply drive our family of five into a dead end!"

After Xia Shengsheng finished speaking, she lowered her head and pretended to wipe away her tears.

Her children didn't know she was acting and they actually hugged her and started crying.

For a moment, everyone felt sorry for the mother and her children. Some of them were sentimental and secretly wiped away their tears.

"Don't listen to this little whore's lies. Respecting elders is a matter of course. No matter where she got these things, I'm not asking for all of them, but you should at least give me some.

Don't forget that even if we split up, I am still her mother-in-law.

It is not right for you to not honor me after getting something good." Old Lady Liu continued to be unreasonable, and her disgusting face made people feel very uncomfortable.

"You wish! Why should I respect you? Liu Er is gone, and you keep bullying them, an orphan and a widow. I think the division of the family was wrong. You should have just cut off the relationship, so that you, a troublemaker, would not always interfere in other people's affairs."

Break off the relationship?

Xia Shengsheng slapped her thigh in regret. How could she not be so clear-headed when she just woke up that day? Why did she mention separation? It would be better to just mention breaking off the relationship.

Wouldn’t this save us more trouble in the future?

But it seems quite difficult to talk about breaking off the relationship now.

It seems that I need to plan carefully.

"You bastard, Erdan and his friends are my grandchildren, why do you want to sever the relationship? I think you are just meddling in other people's business."

Old Madam Liu was still waiting for Xia Shengsheng and the others to come to her and beg for mercy when they couldn't survive! How could she agree to break up the relationship?

"Well, you old woman, you dare to scold me?"

The woman who was scolded rolled up her sleeves and prepared to fight with Old Lady Liu.

It was only because Village Chief Ma couldn't bear to watch it anymore that he spoke up to stop it!

"Everyone, please calm down!"

"I'm talking to the Liu family. You just heard it. Xia was willing to take risks in the mountains just to feed her children.

You also said that they are your grandchildren.

How can you have the nerve to embarrass them again?

Still showing filial piety? It was made clear when the family was divided that the eldest son's family would support you in the future, and the second son's family had nothing to do with it!

Besides, when you divided the property, your division was unfair to begin with, so what's the point of talking about filial piety?

Check your conscience and see if you are worthy of your second son. "

Boom~

In broad daylight, there was a deafening thunder.

Old Mrs. Liu was so frightened that her legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

Liu Sun also looked up at the sky in panic.

The people around were also shocked.

I just felt like Liu Lao Er had really returned!

Village Chief Ma looked at the clear sky and was also a little surprised.

Could it be that Cao Cao Cao has arrived?

But he was not afraid, as he thought he had done his best for Liu Laoer's wife and children. After Liu Laoer's death, he often spoke up for justice on behalf of the Liu family!

Xia Shengsheng didn't think that Liu Laoer had returned. When he was alive, he was always cowardly and never stood up for his wife and children.

Can a person’s personality change after he dies?

"Second son of the Liu family! If it's really you watching from heaven, you need to go talk to your mother..."

Old Mrs. Zheng bravely said these words to the sky, but before she could continue, Old Mrs. Liu, not caring whether her legs were numb or not, shouted at Liu Sun and Liu Zhonghui to help her back home.

Only a group of people were left laughing at her.

"Thank you so much to the village chief, and thank you to all the aunts and sisters-in-law for speaking up for us orphans and widows. Otherwise, I really, really..."

Xia Shengsheng pretended to be weak again, which aroused everyone's sympathy.

"Oh! Poor guy, how could he end up with such a family?" Everyone sighed and felt sorry for Xia Shengsheng.

"Okay, pack up and go back quickly! But don't go to this deep mountain again. If something unexpected happens, what will you do with these children?"

Village chief Ma was the one who was most opposed to the villagers going into the mountains. Apart from the only hunter in the village, how could anyone else survive in the mountains?

So I can't help but give a few more words of advice.

"I understand, Village Chief. Don't worry. After what happened, I won't dare go into the mountains again. Now my family has enough food for the time being. I have bought some farm tools and can cultivate the remaining two acres of land. We will live a good life in the future."

After hearing what Xia Shengsheng said, Village Chief Ma nodded and left on his own.

After all, the men were working in the fields. There were only a bunch of women there, and if there was nothing to do, he wouldn't stay too long.

"Sister Xia, let me help you take your things back.

Yesterday, your eldest brother said that if we were done with the farm work, we would lend our farm tools to you. I didn’t expect that we don’t have to bother you now.”

Liu Sangui's family enthusiastically helped Xia Shengsheng carry the things home, and the others gradually dispersed.

Xia Shengsheng was no match for Liu Sangui's family in terms of enthusiasm.

He could only carry the basket on his back and talk to Liu Sangui's family as he walked.
