Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

Wu Dazhui knelt down in front of Wu Da and his wife, kowtowed three times and said, "Dad and Mom, I am an unfilial son who didn't give birth to a grandson to carry on the family line. But I am also a husband and a father, and I can't watch my wife and children die. I beg you to give me two taels of silver to buy a dose of medicine first. For the sake of the baby in Zhaodi's mother's belly, I beg you to save Zhaodi's mother and your unborn grandson."

Wu Zhaodi also knelt on the ground and cried, "Grandpa, grandma, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to sell me? You can get medicine for my mother first, and when we get to Dafu City, you can sell me. This time I won't resist, as long as you get medicine for my mother."

Old Lady Wu raised her stick and hit Wu Zhaodi again, "You are such a loser, and you still want to resist? Even if I sell you, you still have to feed my grandson with delicious food and spicy drinks. How can I afford to give you medicine? You don't deserve medicine. So what if you die? My son, this woman dies. When we get to the capital, I will sell these three losers and then marry you another one who can give birth to a son."

"I say, old lady Wu, you are too cruel, aren't you? They are two lives, and you just watched them disappear."

"Yes, this is a matter of conscience. If you die, you will go to the eighteenth level of hell."

A few villagers from Yunjia Village who couldn't stand what was happening came out to speak up for justice.

Old lady Wu spitted and said, "Are you bored? What does my family's affairs have to do with you? If you don't like it, why don't you take it home and raise it?"

Wu Dazhu was completely disappointed this time. The lives of his wife and daughter were not as important as the food and drink of his parents and grandchildren. So he looked at Wu Da and said, "Dad, do you think so too?"

Wu Da took a few puffs from his tobacco-free pipe and looked up at his son kneeling on the ground. "Dazhu, you are the eldest son in the family. It would be a shame to our ancestors if we don't have a son to inherit the family line. You can see the situation at home. We can't afford such expensive medicine. Everyone has their own fate, so just accept it."

Yunhai was also very angry. What kind of people are these? So he said to Wu Da, "Wu Da, what if I tell you that your Dazhu's wife is pregnant with a boy? Will you save the baby?"

Old Lady Wu jumped up again, "We don't want a boy. It's not like I don't have a grandson to carry on the family line. If she gives birth, I might need several prescriptions. I'd rather spend that money on giving my grandson more meat. It's better to let her die than to spend so much money on a piece of meat that I don't even know what it is."

Wu Dazhu was disheartened, his eyes reddened as he shouted hysterically, "In your eyes, the lives of my parents are not as important as a few more meals of meat for your good grandson?"

Wu Dazhu turned around and kowtowed three times in the direction of Yunhai and Yunhe. "Doctor Yun, Village Chief Yun, I ask the two of you to bear witness for me. I, Wu Dazhu, want to divide the family."

When Wu Dazhu heard that he wanted to divide the family, Wu Dazhu finally put aside his nonchalant attitude and looked at his honest and dull eldest son seriously. "We won't divide the family while our parents are still alive. I'm not dead yet. If you want to divide the family, wait until I die."

When Wu Sanzhu and his wife heard that they were going to split up the family, they were not happy about it. Who would do the housework after the split? They couldn't let the eldest house be split up, so they exchanged glances and said, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Apologize to Dad and Mom quickly. Dad and Mom are still healthy, but you are making a fuss about splitting up the family. Look how angry you are making our dad."

Sanzhu's wife also said, "Yes, big brother, we can't be unfilial to our parents. Mom is right. The medicine is so expensive. Our journey is so difficult and we have to walk for several months. Even if big sister-in-law takes the medicine, it can't guarantee that the child can be born safely, right? I think that if she takes the medicine, the money she spent will be wasted."

The clouds on the corners of the family's mouths were thoroughly seen.

The villagers watching the excitement nearby could not stand it anymore and laughed at him, "Oh, you really didn't see that! Wu Sanzhu, you two are so filial. Since you two are filial to your parents, isn't that enough? Since your mother doesn't like Zhao Di Niang anyway, wouldn't it be better to separate them?"

Wu Sanzhu's wife rolled her eyes at the woman who was speaking and said, "Aunt, you can't say that. We are all my parents' children, so shouldn't we be filial to them?"

A woman in the crowd said, "I think filial piety is fake, and the real thing is that no one is working!"

The woman's words drew echoes from the people around her.

Seeing that her father was silent, Wu Pandi thought that he was persuaded by her grandparents, uncle and aunt. She pulled Wu Dazhu with her hand, tears falling rapidly, and said timidly, "Dad, you can't ignore mom. If she doesn't take the medicine, my brother will die without mom. Dad, I beg you, please save mom!"

When Old Man Wu saw Wu Dazhu kneeling there and not getting up, he picked up his pipe and hit Wu Dazhu hard on the back. "You worthless thing, you are trying to separate the family property from your parents for a woman. I will beat you to death today, you unfilial son."

When Mrs. Wu saw her eldest son being beaten, she felt sorry for him because he was her own flesh and blood. "Dazhu, why don't you get up quickly? Do you really want to piss off your father? Dazhu, listen to your mother and throw this jinx down the mountain over there. Don't let him die here. We still have to spend the night here."

Wu Zhaodi saw her father kneeling there, not getting up or saying anything, and thought he was going to throw her mother out, so she rolled and crawled to the foot of Yun Duo.

She knew that Yun Duo was now a capable person and that everyone in the Yun family listened to her, so she kowtowed to Yun Duo without saying a word.

"Miss Yun, please buy me. I will use myself to exchange for medicine for my mother. I can work and you don't need to feed me. I can dig wild vegetables to eat."

Yun Duo initially thought that Wu Zhaodi knelt down to beg her because she wanted her to give the medicine to her mother. Unexpectedly, this girl was quite strong-willed. She did not ask for the medicine for nothing, but wanted to exchange herself for it.

Yun Duo gave Wu Zhaodi a reassuring look and whispered, "Be patient."

Wu Zhaodi didn't know why, but when she heard Yun Duo's words, her heart sank back into her stomach. Suddenly, she wasn't so scared anymore.

When Old Lady Wu saw that Wu Zhaodi wanted to exchange herself for medicine, she refused to accept that idea. She still wanted to sell the three money-losing goods to save up dowry for her daughter and buy meat for her grandson. If she exchanged herself for medicine, she would have nothing.

She said what was in her heart in a hurry, "That won't do. I still need these three money-losing pieces to save up a dowry for my Meixiang! If I buy medicine for this bitch, how can I buy meat for my good grandson?"
