Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Ever since Liu Yaozu's death, her family was driven into the most dilapidated woodshed.

There is a big hole on top of the woodshed. In summer, rainwater will flow into the house through the hole and drip onto the bed.

Moreover, their bed was made of two wooden boards with two tattered quilts on top. Five people squeezed on it like this for a whole year.

They said they took away their own things, but in fact there were only these two tattered quilts and an old piece of clothing with patches on top of patches for each person.

Even the worn-out cotton-padded jacket from the previous winter was exchanged by Xia Shengsheng for a few cents to buy medicine for Liu Shanshan!

Things were packed up quickly. Xia Shengsheng tied most of the things together and dragged them out of the room!

He took the land deed handed over by Old Lady Liu and looked at it carefully.

You can tell without even looking that no matter whether it is good land or inferior land, the ones that will be chosen are those that produce the least grain.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

"Big brother, second brother, help move the things to the end of the village for Xia's mother and son."

"I know dad!"

The village chief's two sons took away all of Xia Shengsheng's belongings.

Mr. Li held seven-year-old Liu Shanshan in his arms and refused to let go.

Xia Shengsheng and her son supported each other and left the old Liu family that had disappointed them.

Outside the Liu family’s door, the people who came to watch the fun gradually dispersed.

But the conversations between them never stopped.

Old Mrs. Liu sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

Boss Liu looked at the crowd that had already left and couldn't help but blame them out loud!

"Mother, look at you. Not only did you not sell the person, but you also lost several acres of land. You really lost both the wife and the army. How much money did you lose? You are really stupid."

"It's really a bargain for them. My second uncle is gone, and they still got so much land. There were only a dozen acres in total, and the three of us brothers only got four or five acres each. Now, one-third of it is gone in an instant. It's all your grandmother's fault. Why did she agree to it?"

Liu Lao Da's son Liu Zhongsheng also kept complaining. He was already 16 years old and was going to get married in the next two years.

I'm still waiting to get more land to live a better life!

He never thought that the family’s land had anything to do with the children from the second wife.

I didn't expect that they would share so much now.

"You still have the nerve to blame me? I really raised you in vain. Where were you when that little whore was holding my neck and trying to kill me?

Don't forget, if it weren't for me, would our family have such a good life? Now you blame me, it's really outrageous."

After being scolded by Old Lady Liu, no one else dared to speak up in rebuttal.

After all, all his family's money is in the hands of the old lady.

So no one really dared to offend her.

"Oh my god! Don't listen to their nonsense. We were also scared just now. Don't you know? We were so worried just now. We were afraid that the bitch would hurt you. We were just worried and confused!

Come, mother, let your daughter-in-law help you up. Isn't it just a few acres of land? Compared with your life, of course your life is the most precious.

When Qiang'er graduates from high school, you will have to wait until you become an old lady! You will have the time to enjoy your life then."

Liu Sun helped Old Madam Liu into the house while talking to her in a coaxing manner.

In fact, she was the most cunning one. She knew that Old Lady Liu still had a large sum of money in her hands.

That sum of money was earned bit by bit by Liu Laoer during his lifetime.

It’s a good thing that Xia Shengsheng didn’t mention the matter of the silver just now, because by then the silver in the old lady’s hands would have belonged to her three sons.

In order to ensure that everything goes well, I have to coax her down later, so I have to go along with what the old lady says.

Old Madam Liu thought about what she would do as an old lady in the future, and even her heart, which had been frightened just now, slowly calmed down.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull up into a smile, as if she had become an old lady.

As if being served by someone else.

Mrs. Liu Sun looked at the proud expression of Old Lady Liu.

I spit in my heart.

Pooh!

Once I have coaxed all your money down, I will be the one who will live a good life with my Qiang'er.

Who wants to have a mountain in front of them?

My son is my own, so why should an old woman like you get to take advantage of him?

……

The village chief's two sons helped deliver the things to the dilapidated adobe house at the end of the village.

The two sisters-in-law of the Li family went home to get some things to help with the cleaning.

When Doctor Zhao came back, he went back to his own home first and prepared medicine for Liu Shanshan, because he knew that Xia Shengsheng and the others did not have a ceramic pot for decocting medicine.

So I fried it at home and sent it to you.

"Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li, I am really sorry to trouble you."

Xia Shengsheng had just forced himself to walk back little by little, and he was extremely weak after he came back.

First, he was forced by two sisters-in-law of the Li family onto a kang which was only covered with a torn mattress, and lay together with the unconscious Liu Shanshan.

The two of them helped clean up the house.

"Hey! What are you talking about? We are from the same village, can't we help out when we see this? Besides, we didn't do anything, we just helped clean up the house."

Li Erjia was cleaning the house while looking at the dilapidated house.

This house is not much better than the one Xia Shengsheng lived in before?

There are three rooms in total, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and not even a living room.

There is also a big hole above a bedroom and the kitchen. When it rains, it probably doesn't leak, but instead a waterfall pours down.

The family can only live in another complete house temporarily.

Fortunately, the kang in this room has not collapsed yet, so it can be lived in for the time being.

Liu Ercheng and Liu Sicheng were tidying up the yard outside.

Liu Yiyi was picking up firewood nearby, preparing to make something to nourish his mother and third sister.

But when I thought about not even having a pot to cook after splitting up the family, and looked at the only bag of black noodles, I didn’t know what to do next!

Xia Shengsheng also knew that there were too many things missing in the family. When the family was divided, he only mentioned the two main things. He really didn't have the extra energy to fight for more things.

I wanted to force myself to go to the back mountain to see if I could drag back two bamboos and use bamboo tubes to cook black flour porridge for everyone to drink!

Then I heard some noisy sounds outside.

"Yiyi! Is your mother in the house? I packed some things that you don't usually use to help you out!"

Someone from the Ma Kui family, who lived not far from the end of the village, came in with half a basket of wild vegetables, two eggs, and an iron pot with a hole in it!

He just happened to run into the village chief Ma’s eldest daughter-in-law, Ma Wu, who arrived just before him!

The two families are still relatives!

"Third aunt, you are here too? My father-in-law asked me to bring over the unused pottery jars at home, as well as two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and some food. I heard that when the family was divided, Sister Xia didn't get anything. This old lady Liu is really abominable!..."

Ma Kui's wife interrupted Ma Wu's conversation, fearing that it would sadden the children in the yard.

"Okay, let's stop talking for now. Yiyi, quickly take the food and get some food for your mother and sister!"

Liu Yiyi ran over happily and thanked Ma Kui's family and Ma Wu again and again.

"Thank you, aunties. I will do more work in the future and return the things to you as soon as possible."

The excitement of dividing the family covered up the hunger and the sadness that had always been there. Now Xia Shengsheng's children have no fear of the future, only enthusiasm and yearning for their future life!

They are not afraid of any hardship or fatigue, as long as they can live well and the family will never be separated, how can such a life be bad?

After Ma Kui's family and Ma Wu handed the things to Liu Yiyi, they went into the house and looked at the dilapidated house without saying anything.

Instead, he carefully comforted Xia Shengsheng!

"Sister Xia, don't worry, things will definitely get better in the future."

"Yes, sister Xia, don't think too much. If you need anything, as long as sister-in-law can do it, come to sister-in-law!"

Xia Shengsheng was grateful for the timely help and thanked them again and again, then propped himself up to see them off!

The two sisters-in-law of the Li family also left together.

After all, it was a small house and it was cleaned up quickly.

Before leaving, he left two wooden basins for Xia Shengsheng, saying that they were defective products made at home and asked Xia Shengsheng to make do with them.

Xia Shengsheng looked at the polished wooden basin, how could he not know?
