Quickly wear, the host just wants to be bad

Chapter 65: The Cannon Fodder Mother-in-law Starved to Death by Her Daughter-in-law 8

She didn't know whether her action could prevent fewer people from starving to death, but she felt that the country should not be like this, so Liu Xiulan didn't care whether they were saints or not and still sold food to them at the lowest price.

Liu Xiulan even found some channels to sell some grain to some areas that were kept secret by the state. It was impossible to give it away for free, she still had to charge some money, otherwise she would be at a great loss.

Helping people is one thing, but it can't be done for free. In fact, many local governments are aware of her behavior, but they just didn't think of intervening.

In today's environment, it's hard to have an opportunity to let the people have food to eat. Who would be ignorant enough to expose it? Even if the other party's behavior seems like a gang crime, the people are basically grateful to the other party in their hearts.

What's more, the other party is simply selling grain and does not increase the price. It has always been selling at the lowest price. It does not harm the interests of the country. Who would be so stupid as to turn down such a good thing?

Thus, a legend began to spread in the Central Plains, saying that there was a mysterious caravan that sold large quantities of grain at low prices to many farmers who were about to starve to death during the most difficult times in the Central Plains. However, these people never left their names. All they knew was that their surname was Bai, so everyone called them Bai's Grain Shop.

Of course, Liu Xiulan didn't know all this. When the overall environment became better, she stopped selling grain. Over the years, the money she earned from selling grain was basically exchanged for gold in preparation for buying a house in the future.

By 62, Liu Xiulan had basically resumed her trading activities with Mr. Zhao Siye, but it was just a simple transaction of ten pigs a year and some seafood every quarter.

Most of the seafood is collected by Liu Xiulan from abroad, and she also catches and processes some of it herself. Although she doesn't earn as much as before, Liu Xiulan is still quite satisfied.

She has nothing to do at home, enjoying the company of her grandchildren, and all of her children are filial to her, so Liu Xiulan feels that she can finally give up.

Now, Liu Xiulan looks after her grandchildren at home every day. When her grandchildren were about two or three years old, Liu Xiulan gave them all a pill to enlighten their minds. Her own children have already grown up, and the future of this family still depends on the next generation.

Liu Xiulan would never admit that she didn't want to teach her children slowly, because she was lazy. Moreover, the children who took the enlightenment pills were indeed very smart. Liu Xiulan decided to let the children go to school early, so that they could catch up with the first college entrance examination in 77.

I have to say that Liu Xiulan’s thinking is a bit far-fetched, but it is still worth looking forward to.

When Liu Xiulan's eldest grandson was 8 years old, several strangers came to the village. Those people were arranged to live in the cowshed in the village. They were the bad elements as people called them. Liu Xiulan knew that the wind had blown to this remote mountain village.

As soon as the spring plowing season ended in 1968, the team leader brought back five educated youth and three transferred personnel from the city. Because the team's cowshed was not big enough to accommodate them, the team leader arranged for people to build two more rooms in the cowshed in advance.

The captain was a retired soldier from the battlefield and had a relatively thorough understanding of many things. He simply told the villagers not to get close to them or talk to them, and that there was no need to force them to undergo so-called ideological transformation unless anyone was sent down from above.

What gave the team leader the most headache were the five educated youth. At first, they were arranged to live in villagers' homes and pay rent to the villagers every month. Unexpectedly, these city kids were all like troublemakers. Every day they complained that the living conditions were uncomfortable or that the food distribution was unfair.

The villagers who took them in for accommodation were extremely upset. Some of them were actually very helpless. They took them in just to make some income for their families. Who knew these city kids would be so noisy.

Of course, there were also some short-sighted villagers who liked to take advantage of other people's children by relying on their age. These team leaders educated them one by one and asked them to compensate the educated youth.

Later, the village chief felt that it was not appropriate for the educated youth to live with the villagers, so he arranged for the men in the village to renovate the houses of the former landlords in the village, and Liu Xiulan's eldest son was among them.

At noon that day, Liu Xiulan had nothing to do so she went to deliver food to Zhou Ping who was renovating the landlord's house on behalf of her daughter-in-law. Just as she gave the food to Zhou Ping, she inadvertently used her spiritual sense to scan underground and found that there was a lot of stuff underground, much more than what Liu Xiulan's father left to her and her daughter.

It seems that no one has found these things since the landlord and his family fled abroad. Haha, Liu Xiulan doesn't care about that. Whoever finds them will own them. So Liu Xiulan used her spiritual sense to wrap up the things in the basement.

She emptied the basement with her mind. She didn't care whether the landlord would come back in the future. Now that the things were in her hands, there was no reason for her to take them out.

After her eldest son finished his meal, Liu Xiulan went home with the bowl he had eaten from and a happy mood. She couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

After all the educated youth moved into the newly built youth residence, life in the village finally returned to peace.

It's not that I haven't thought about moving in with Liu Xiulan's house before. After all, it's one of the few brick and tile houses in the village. But Liu Xiulan refused every time on the grounds that there was not enough space for so many children in her family.

After all, what Liu Xiulan said was true. The eldest grandson is already 8 years old this year. In the following years, Liu Xiulan's eldest son and second son also had many children. The eldest family has three sons and one daughter, and the second family has two sons and two daughters. Liu Xiulan and her eldest daughter-in-law have not gone to work in these years.

The second son and his wife in the city have been working all the time, and the children are basically taken care of by Liu Xiulan and Xie Xiaohong. There are now eight children in the family, and the two youngest are only two and a half years old.

The two pairs of sons and daughters-in-law get along harmoniously. The second son's child is taken care of at home. The couple often bring good things home and give Xie Xiaohong a lot of money. After all, although they ask their mother to help take care of the child, in fact, she is living with her eldest sister-in-law in her old age.

If the eldest sister-in-law hadn't been so easy to talk to, they wouldn't have been able to live so easily. They are not ignorant people. Although they are a family, they can't take things for granted. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly.

Therefore, brothers and sisters-in-law have been getting along very harmoniously over the years, and their lives have been getting better and better. Although my mother left them with a lot of wealth, they also need to work hard. Otherwise, if they just live off the wealth, no matter how much wealth they have, it will be squandered in the end.

The whole family is not stupid and they are all hardworking, so they understand this basic principle. Now the children are working hard and doing well in their studies. If they work hard in the future they should be able to graduate from high school, and then they can find a job in the city. There is still hope for their lives.
