Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

When Xia Shengsheng came back from the mountain, he brought back several children who were picking wild vegetables and cutting weeds outside the mountain.

This time we hunted a lot of game in the mountains, a total of seven pheasants, five rabbits, a roe deer, and two quails.

All these things were sold to Qiqi, and Qiqi would collect a batch of game every once in a while.

Therefore, Xia Shengsheng did not have to go up the mountain every day. He could just go hunting on the agreed day.

When I came back, my backpack was empty, but I happened to find a bunch of wild ferns, so I picked up a full basket.

Bracken can be eaten cold or stir-fried with meat. It tastes slightly bitter, but Xia Shengsheng still likes it very much.

With such a big basket, what you can’t finish can be dried into vegetables and saved for later!

Yiyi and Ercheng also picked a lot of wild vegetables.

Vegetables like water celery, shepherd's purse, and four-leaf vegetable are all wild vegetables that we commonly eat.

Ye Chao and Shanshan picked some gray vegetables and cut some water millet grass to feed the chickens and rabbits at home.

No one knew where Sicheng had gone. After breakfast in the morning, he said he was going out with Huzi to catch insects, but he hasn't been seen since.

When Xia Shengsheng came back with the children, she saw that the house was in chaos.

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

There were also many people gathered together arguing.

"What happened? Let me go take a look first..." Ercheng ran in front and rushed into the yard.

The others followed behind.

"If you can do it, then do it. Are you done yet? You're doing this now, then that, as if you know a lot about this."

"I won't talk about your father, but you, a little kid, dare to tell me what to do. What kind of work have I not done? No matter how good I am, I can't stand your anger."

"That's right! Who has the final say on this matter?"

Boss Liu and his two sons spent the whole day making trouble at Xia Shengsheng's place.

Everyone could tolerate it at the beginning, but it became more and more excessive as time went on.

Those who couldn't stand it must be the craftsman Chen and the well digger who came here to work.

They work everywhere because they have good skills and have been doing this for many years.

Which host wouldn't give them some face?

Where have you ever been treated so harshly?

A few people took the lead and started quarreling with Boss Liu and the other two.

The villagers no longer tolerated Liu Lao Da and the other three, and as a result, the entire project could not be carried out and they all stopped their work.

"Do you want to work? If you don't want to, get out. I don't believe that I can't hire people with money. This is the house built by our Liu family. I can hire whoever I want. When the time comes, don't come crying and beg me to let you work here..."

Boss Liu's words made Master Chen so angry that he almost exploded.

Just when I was about to quit, I heard Xia Shengsheng coming back.

"What? I've only been away from home for one day and someone wants to take over my home?

Who gave you the face to come to other people's homes and act bossy?

I pay for who to hire, and I have the final say. What does it have to do with you?"

Ma Dajia stepped forward to help take the backpack from Xia Shengsheng.

"You're finally back. They've been making a fuss here all day. Your mother-in-law even took a lot of things away. You know that old woman is unreasonable. She insisted on going to her daughter-in-law's house to take things, so we couldn't stop her."

Ma Dajia briefly told Xia Shengsheng what happened during the day.

Xia Shengsheng had an idea in mind.

When Boss Liu saw Xia Shengsheng coming back, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"Is your sister-in-law back?

Look, why didn’t you go and tell your eldest brother that you were building a house at home?

Big brother, bring your two nephews over to help.

Sister-in-law, you don't know! They took advantage of your absence to do something sneaky.

Fortunately, we have our own family to help you watch over it, otherwise, I don’t know what kind of foolishness you would have been in!”

Craftsman Chen knew that since Xia Shengsheng had returned, there would naturally be someone who could deal with the Liu family father and son.

Although Xia Shengsheng is a woman, one feels that she has the ability, otherwise she wouldn't be able to build such a big business in such a short time.

So I felt relieved and listened to what Boss Liu said without rushing to explain.

After all, he has been working here for more than a day or two. How is his work these days? He doesn't believe that Xia Shengsheng can't see it.

But Master Fan, the well digger, was different. He had little dealings with Xia Shengsheng. He only knew that Xia Shengsheng had lost her husband and was raising four children alone.

He was very angry about the injustice done to Boss Liu. Wouldn't this affect his reputation?

"Stop talking nonsense here, there are so many people watching us! Who is cheating at work?"

Master Fan was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, and it seemed that his anger level had reached its peak.

Boss Liu spoke a lot of nonsense again, and his two sons also helped to supplement his words, saying a lot of useless things.

And they are all unfounded.

Xia Shengsheng was too lazy to waste time talking to a few people.

He went up and directly removed Boss Liu's jaw, leaving him speechless.

Boss Liu whimpered in pain and tears fell from his eyes. He pointed at Xia Shengsheng in horror, but could not say anything.

Seeing this, Liu Zhongsheng picked up a shovel beside him and was about to hit Xia Shengsheng on the head.

Ye Chao had always been by Xia Shengsheng's side and was the first one to stand in front of Xia Shengsheng.

Ercheng also rushed over from behind and grabbed Xia Shengsheng's hand and tried to retreat.

The other two children were also terrified.

Master Chen and Ma Laoer and others standing nearby reacted quickly and immediately blocked Liu Zhongsheng's shovel, grabbing his arms and controlling him.

"Let her go. If she dares to hit my dad, I'll kill her."

Xia Shengsheng touched the children's heads, comforted them softly, and pulled them behind him.

"Let him go!"

Xia Shengsheng's tone was commanding, just like a troop leader giving orders to his subordinates.

People subconsciously do what Xia Shengsheng says.

But after letting go, I felt a little regretful. What if I really hurt someone?

The next second, their regret disappeared, and was replaced by relief, and they felt that Boss Liu's son deserved it.

After everyone let Liu Zhongsheng go, Xia Shengsheng didn't want to do anything to him. After all, he was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

But he did not repent. The moment others let go, he picked up the shovel again and hit Xia Shengsheng on the head.

Xia Shengsheng knocked the shovel to the ground with one move.

Then Liu Zhongsheng's arm was removed.

Liu Zhongsheng was lying on the ground screaming, holding his dislocated arm with his other hand.

Seeing this, Boss Liu didn't even dare to cry.

When 12-year-old Liu Zhonghui saw this scene, he was so scared that he pushed through the crowd and tried to run away.

He was brought back by Boss Li, grabbing his collar.

"Kid, why are you running? Are you going to get into trouble again this time?"

Xia Shengsheng looked at the people from the Liu family and ignored them for the time being. Instead, he looked at the thirty or forty people working in the yard and glanced around.

Everyone who wanted to complain felt a little nervous and didn't dare to speak.
