Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

After the grandchildren finished their New Year greetings, it was time for the sons and daughters-in-law to come.

Several families also came together.

The five people stood up and knelt in front of Zhao Yuanzhen.

"Happy New Year, Mom! I wish you peace, health, success, and prosperity in the new year!"

They said the words together, and after they finished, they bowed their heads with a "dong! dong! dong!"

"Okay, okay, I hope you all will be successful and have good luck in the new year."

"Thank you, mother."

"Okay, here are the red envelopes for you guys, one for each of you, keep them."

Zhao Yuanzhen also took out five red envelopes.

One per person.

As red envelopes for his grandchildren, Zhao Yuanzhen gave each of them 5000 taels of silver.

Zhao Yuanzhen gave each of his son and daughter-in-law 20,000 taels of silver.

Although my son and daughter-in-law are now relatively wealthy and have their own businesses.

Zhang Xinbai and Qian Xiaohui's assets were divided into shops, farms, and land in the capital, while Zhang Xinnian and Li Zhijuan's assets were divided into shops at the ferry crossing on the Yellow River.

Zhang Xinshuo's property in Yangzhou Prefecture included shops, workshops, and land.

Zhao Yuanzhen has calculated that the profits of each property are similar.

Among them, 10 taels of silver were paid to Zhong Gong every month for daily family expenses.

The extra money would be saved in Zhonggong to facilitate various purchases, banquets, servants' monthly wages, etc. in the future.

Their three families are now quite wealthy, and each family should have a net worth of tens of millions of taels of silver.

But Zhao Yuanzhen still felt that giving silver notes would feel more like a red envelope.

"Thank you, mother."

"You're so polite. Lanying, share this with the maids, old women, and cooks in the yard."

This is the yard red envelope that Zhao Yuanzhen gave to the servants of Xiletang.

"Yes ma'am, thank you ma'am."

The other servants heard this and were also very happy.

I really like Madam.

Not only is she beautiful and kind, she is also very generous, and each time she gives out red envelopes worth several taels.

"Well, it's getting late. You should all go to bed and stop wasting time."

"Okay, mother, then you should also go to bed early. We will go to bed."

"Got it, grandma."

"Well, let's go."

The grandchildren, sons, and daughters-in-law have all gone to bed.

Zhao Yuanzhen also tidied up and went to bed.

Let’s face it, the Chinese New Year is really tiring. Although I don’t have to do anything myself, I still feel exhausted just from staying up late.

It seems that I am really old!

I'm almost 50 years old.

I don’t know how many years I can live.

"System, can you find out my lifespan?"

It means how many years you live.

"Return to the host, no."

She couldn't say she was disappointed, as the system's answer was within her expectations.

If the system even knows this, it would be really incredible.

That's not a problem with the energy system, it's definitely someone down there! I guess both Black and White can have a drink.

Zhao Yuanzhen made a self-deprecating joke, then quietly washed up and went to bed.

No, the old woman’s body was protesting, she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes.

I washed up quickly, changed into pajamas, lay on the bed, and fell asleep in less than a minute.

The sleep quality is really good!

It’s just that the dream is not peaceful.

In her dream, she dreamed about things from her past life, and things from her childhood, before she was abducted.

She was still a little kid at that time, three or four years old, she couldn't remember exactly. It has been about thirty or forty years since her past life and this life.

In the dream, she and her parents were happy every day, just like a little princess.

Every day, her mother would dress her in pretty clothes, cook delicious meals for her, and hold her in her arms affectionately before she slept.

When dad got home from get off work, the first thing he did after washing his hands was to run over to hug her and kiss her little cheek.

"I miss my little princess so much. Does my little baby miss daddy?"

She giggled as she was kissed.

Dad would also put her on his neck and let her ride on him, looking so high up.

Later, the warm scene changed, and the surroundings began to become dim. She was a small ball, huddled in a corner, and there were many children curled up with her. It was hard to tell whether they were awake or asleep.

Zhao Yuanzhen tried to check and found that the person was not asleep but in a coma and could not be woken up no matter how she called him.

I roughly counted and there were more than 30 children.

After a closer look, I found that they were all girls.

These children were thrown into this dim room with no windows or lights.

Although it was a dream she had as a child, she watched it from a third-person perspective and could even move her perspective back and forth with her own consciousness.

It's like watching a movie.

But it is so clear and real that it is unbelievable.

She wanted to see what this place was. This was probably the place where she was abducted.

She checked the entire room carefully from top to bottom, inside and out, but couldn't find any doors or windows, not even a hole.

She looked up at the top of her head again. The ceiling in this room was very high, about 6 meters, and she couldn't climb up.

But looking at the roof, there was no sign of doors or windows.

She frowned. There was no door or window. How did these children get in?

Before she could figure it out, the picture started to move again.

This time the scene turned to a woman with a haggard face and thin body.

The woman sat on the bed in a daze, her eyes were swollen from crying so much, like two big walnuts, and her double eyelids turned into huge single eyelids that were stretched out.

Seeing the woman like this, Zhao Yuanzhen felt a pang in her heart and tears were about to fall.

This is her mother.

After a while, a thin man with untidy beard came over.

The man's entire temperament is decadent.

"Xinxin, drink some water and take a rest. We won't collapse, otherwise we will lose our daughter."

After hearing this, the woman's numb eyes rolled.

He silently took the cup of water and drank it.

The man saw her finish drinking the water, took the cup, and helped her lie down on the bed.

I covered her with a quilt, then gently stroked and patted her, coaxing her to sleep.

Maybe she was really too tired, the woman fell asleep after a while.

The man saw that she fell asleep, so he lay down on the other side, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Where is his little princess? Where is his son? Damn human traffickers. They should all be taken out and shot.

On Saturday, he and his wife took their daughter out to play. When their daughter wanted to drink water, his wife went to buy water, and he stood by and waited with his daughter.

At this moment, a person wearing a doll costume suddenly came over. It was my daughter's favorite Lingna Belle.

As soon as Lingna Belle appeared, many children gathered around her curiously.

His daughter also shouted happily and came over to join them.

He was afraid that there were too many people and his daughter might be stepped on if he wasn't careful, so he hurried to follow.

When he walked over, there was already a circle of children surrounding Lingna Belle, but he still saw his little baby at once.

I went there quickly and planned to pick up the baby first.

But for some reason, when he was about to get in front of his daughter, the doll would turn around and start posing and greeting the child.

After this set, the children were extremely excited.

Screaming and dancing in front of Lingna Belle.

He was afraid of stepping on other children, so he didn't dare to force his way into the inner circle and carry the woman out.

More and more children gathered around, forming three layers inside and three layers outside.

After a while his wife came and ran over when she saw him.

"Where's the baby?"

His wife asked him, holding a glass of water in one hand and her daughter's schoolbag in the other.

"There, the little one saw Lingna Belle, and she broke free from my hand and ran over. Now I can't get through, and I can't catch her."

The man said helplessly, the little guy was too lively. He ran into the innermost circle immediately.

The wife also found her daughter, who was the closest to Lingna Belle.

Neither of them dared to force their way in, so they could only watch from outside.

After a while, Lingna Belle started posing and taking photos with the children.

The children became even more excited, jumping and shouting.

It was getting more and more lively next to Lingna Belle.

Both of them stared at their daughter closely.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Lingna Belle finally decided to go back and said goodbye to the children.

The man quickly squeezed in and planned to carry his daughter out.

There are still some children who don't want Lingna Belle to leave and move with it.

The man finally squeezed in front of Lingna Belle and was about to pick up his little girl.

I found that the little girl was missing.

! ! ! !

The man suddenly felt panicky.

He quickly searched again carefully and looked at the children surrounding Lingna Belle, but there was really no girl of his own.

He quickly left the encirclement.

Shouted at his wife.

"Xinxin, my son isn't there. Did he run away? Did you see him?"

"No! Wasn't it still there just now?"

Yes, my wife saw it too. She was there just now.

Both of them were a little panicked. They checked again around Lingna Belle and found that there was really no one there. Then they began to search around in a small area.

No!

There are none around.

The man immediately found someone at the amusement park and told them that his daughter was missing and asked for help in finding her.

The people in the amusement park were very serious about helping with the broadcast and also sent people out to help with the search.

We searched for more than half an hour but still couldn't find it.

The man decisively called the police.

Because the child was a child, the police did not waste time on missing persons cases and dispatched the police directly.

After the police arrived, the man recounted the entire story of how his child was lost.

The police checked the area and found surveillance footage, then began to check the whereabouts of the child.

His daughter's figure was always visible in the surveillance video, but when he was about to go over to hug his daughter, Lingna Belle suddenly turned around and interacted with the child over there.

However, because Lingna Belle's body was blocking the view and there was no surveillance, the situation over there could not be seen.
