The little ancestor of the family

"Li Zheng is here!"

"Uncle Lizheng is finally here!"

Someone cried out in surprise.

Ye Xinran looked over in the direction of the voice and saw an energetic old man walking in from outside the crowd.

The old man has gray hair, a dark and thin face, and bright eyes, but he looks like a kind person.

He stared at Zhang Dali for a few times and said sternly: "A man who has all the limbs and arms is shameless to rely on selling his wife and children to make a living!"

"Uncle village head!" Zhang Dali lowered his head. His tanned face no longer looked red, but just a little darker.

After teaching Zhang Dali a lesson, the village head turned and glared at Luo Gou who was holding Xiaohua. Scared, Luo Gou immediately let go of his hands and put Xiaohua down.

As soon as Xiaohua's feet touched the ground, she threw herself into Chen's arms.

The fat woman's nose became crooked with anger when she saw this scene.

She put one hand on her waist and pointed at the head of the village and said, "Zhang Yasuo, why are you meddling in other people's business? We handed over the money and the people, and we didn't steal or rob. What does it have to do with you?"

"Luo Er Niang, don't you know what you are doing? You keep saying that you are taking your child to enjoy a good life, but in fact, you are sending your child to a brothel. You are also a mother, why don't you know to accumulate more virtue for your child?"

When the fat woman heard this, her expression changed immediately: "Who are you saying is not doing good deeds? Who is not doing good deeds? I gave you two taels of silver!

How much food can they buy with 2 taels of silver?

Zhang Yasuo! Zhang Lizheng! Don't be so self-righteous. You have good morals, so will you give them money or food?

I tell you, if I give them two taels of silver today, I can save their lives. If you block this matter today, their whole family will starve to death in the future, and that will be all your fault!"

When Chen heard the words "red-light district", she hugged the child tighter.

Luo Erniang saw this and simply spat: "Pah! You can't even afford to eat and you still complain about money being dirty! My money can be spent anywhere, you guys just wait to starve to death."

After saying that, she turned around, twisted her butt and walked away arrogantly.

As soon as Luo Erniang left, the people who came to watch the fun gradually dispersed.

Ye Xinran stood there, watching the headman pat Zhang Dali on the shoulder and said, "I'll ask your wife to go to my house and get two scoops of rice. Hold on for a few days.

I'll have someone go to Dongshan and measure out a piece of land for you. Aren't the governments encouraging land reclamation now? Although the mountain land is difficult to reclaim, you can still get some harvest if you dig it out. People, be diligent, and you won't starve to death!"

"Uncle village head, am I not diligent enough?" Zhang Dali's simple face was full of confusion.

For so many years, he has been busy all year round. Even though his wife is in poor health, he still has to do housework.

But even by doing this, he had to sell his daughter.

"You are diligent, but everyone has bad luck sometimes. As long as you hold on, you will turn things around sooner or later." The head of the village patted him on the shoulder.

"Ok!"

Zhang Dali nodded heavily, as if he saw some hope in the words of the village head.

After saying this, Li Zheng walked out.

Looking at Ye Xinran who was hugging two children at the door, he paused and asked, "Are you Xiao Huaian's new wife?"

Ye Xinran didn't speak, Changan answered for her: "This is my aunt!"

"Good good!"

The head of the village leaned down, touched Chang'an's head, and said, "Since you've married me, live a good life."

After saying that, he walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.

Ye Xinran looked at the headman's back and felt that the villagers were blessed to have such a headman.

When we got home, we found that both children were unhappy.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Xinran asked.

Changping kept her head down and refused to speak, while Changan looked up and asked, "Aunt, when the food at home is gone, will you sell Changan?"

Ye Xinran finally understood what the two children were worried about, and said with a smile: "How could that be! Changan is so cute, Auntie can't bear to let him go."

"Second uncle can make money, and he will support us." Chang'an seemed to have suddenly figured it out and became happy again.

"When Xiaohua's family runs out of food, will her father sell her?" Changping was still a little worried.

Ye Xinran also sighed when she heard this.

Throughout the dynasties, farmers have had the hardest life.

They make their living by digging the soil for food. If the year is bad, they will not only face famine, but even greater disasters.

Otherwise, the practice of cannibalism would not have happened.

"Xiaohua's mother said she won't sell her child anymore." Ye Xinran comforted Changping.

"I don't know if they keep their word!" Changping blinked, his little eyes filled with deep worry.

Ye Xinran smiled slightly, turned and left, and when she came back, she was holding a bucket of rice in her hand.

"This is the food that Second Uncle bought for you. If you two are willing to give it, we will lend a bucket to Xiaohua's family. But Xiaohua's family is poor, and I don't know if they can pay it back. What do you think? Should we lend it to them?"

Changping and Changan looked at each other and said in unison: "Borrow it!"

To make his reason more tenable, Changan added: "The children in the village don't play with us. Only Xiaohua and Yufeng play with us, so we want to borrow her house."

"Who is Yufeng?"

"Yufeng is the granddaughter of the village head!" This time it was Changping who answered.

"Then the two of you should quietly deliver the rice to Xiaohua's father and return it to us when he has rice!"

Chang Ping scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Aunt, you are so kind!"

"Hello to you two too!" Ye Xinran scratched each child's nose, "Go quickly, come back after delivering the rice, and light a fire so we can make lunch."

"Are we going to have lunch too?" Changping opened his eyes wide.

"Aren't you going to eat lunch?" Ye Xinran asked back.

"Grandma Zhang said that eating at noon is a waste of food. No one in the village eats at noon."

Ye Xinran looked up and discovered that, just as Changping said, among so many households in the village, not a single chimney had smoke coming out of it.

"If they don't want to eat, then don't eat. But you are still growing, so we shouldn't compete with them."

Not only are the two children growing, Ye Xinran also feels that her own small body can also grow taller.

For children, there is nothing more joyful than eating delicious food.

The two of them went to deliver the rice happily, and when they came back, they also picked up a bundle of firewood.

Changping was so greedy that his arms could barely contain all the food. Seeing this, Ye Xinran quickly said, "Changping, you're small, take less!"

After hearing this, Changping picked up two pieces of firewood from the ground and put them on his arms.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm very strong!"

Ye Xinran remembered that when Changping took the purple yam just now, he also took the largest piece, so she asked:

"Have you always been very strong?"
