So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

"How is it? She still won't talk?"

In the afternoon, Chen Dashan asked Zhou Yue

"That girl is very stubborn. She has been hungry for several days, but she still won't talk." Zhou Yue was also very depressed. She hadn't left any food for Sui He in the past few days. She originally thought that she would be unable to bear it after a few meals and would start to talk, but several days had passed and she still didn't surrender.

San Ya was walking by with a basin in her hand and was stopped by Zhou Yue.

"San Ya, did you secretly give Er Ya something to eat?"

"No," San Ya lowered her head and denied it. She had never brought food to her second sister, because her second sister could find food by herself and often took her to the mountains to eat delicious food.

These days were the days when she had eaten the most. Thinking of this, San Ya licked her lips and left the yard quickly, fearing that Zhou Yue would find something.

Zhou Yue frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled. Could it be that the girl really didn't know how to make tofu? Otherwise, how could she have persisted for so long?

Chen Dashan thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer. After all, they are children, and there will always be times when they can't bear it. Don't let your mother down and don't let them take advantage of you."

"I know, I'm watching." Zhou Yue nodded

San Ya left the yard and saw that there was no one around, so she quickly ran towards the back mountain. There was a small river on the back mountain. She had made an appointment with her second sister to meet at the small river today.

A bonfire was lit by the river, and a few wooden sticks were stuck into the fire. On the sticks were a few golden crucian carps.

Seeing that no one was around the campfire, San Ya called out carefully twice.

"I'm here." Sui He jumped down from the tree nearby, walked to the campfire, picked up a grilled fish and handed it to San Ya: "It's freshly grilled, eat it quickly."

"Thank you, second sister." San Ya took the fish and took a bite. The golden fish, although only slightly seasoned, San Ya ate it with great relish: "Second sister, mother asked me if I sent you any food today."

Sui He paused while eating the fish: "How did you answer?"

"I said no." Sanya shook her head and spit out the fish bone in her mouth.

"Well, next time she asks you, just say you don't know."

"it is good"

After eating the fish, San Ya habitually put out the fire with stream water, dispersed the fire with a stick, and went back. She couldn't disappear for too long every day, otherwise Zhou Yue would get suspicious.

The situation remained deadlocked for a few days. Perhaps because Sui He was still unwilling to speak, Zhou Yue began to doubt.

"Er Ya," Zhou Yue called out to Sui He who was about to return to his room.

"What's wrong?" Sui He stopped and turned his head to look at Zhou Yue.

"Where have you eaten recently?" After such a long time, Zhou Yue realized that it was impossible for a person to go without eating for several days, so Sui He must have eaten something.

"Why do you care where I eat? If you don't give me food, can't I find food for myself?" Sui He said with a playful smile.

"I'm your mother, why can't you talk to me properly?" Zhou Yue frowned and looked at Sui He, her face full of confusion.

"A mother who doesn't feed her children?" Sui He said with a mocking tone: "If you have something to say, just tell me now. If not, I will go back to my room. I am so sleepy. I want to sleep."

"Let me ask you, you really don't know how to make tofu and maltose?" Zhou Yue saw Sui He was about to leave and hurriedly stopped her.

"I'm telling you this for the last time. I won't. Believe it or not." After saying that, Sui He ignored Zhou Yue and walked towards his room. Under Zhou Yue's gaze, he closed the door.

"Hey" Zhou Yue looked at Sui He's closed door. Seeing that Sui He didn't respond, she thought for a moment and went back to her room.

"What's wrong?" Chen Dashan asked when he saw Zhou Yue coming in with a frown on his face.

"Boss, do you think Erya really doesn't know?" Zhou Yue thought for a long time and told her guess.

"It's hard to say. Even if she knew, I don't think she would tell us. It's been a long time. If she wanted to say it, she would have said it long ago." Chen Dashan also looked thoughtful.

"How is the matter that I asked you to discuss with your second uncle going?" Zhou Yue thought of another thing and hurriedly asked Chen Dashan.

When Chen Dashan mentioned that incident, he frowned and looked unhappy. He remembered that his second uncle had taken good care of him in the past. Basically, they would agree with whatever he said. Why was that not the case now?

"Why, they still don't agree?" Seeing Chen Dashan's expression, Zhou Yue understood instantly, and a fire rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Why are they so stubborn? I am willing to give Xiaobao to them for adoption, why don't they agree? They are willing to raise Erya, a girl, and my Xiaobao is a boy, why wouldn't they agree?"

Zhou Yue became more and more angry as she spoke: "They want it but I don't want to give it to them. There is no one to inherit such a huge fortune. Let's just keep it and let outsiders get it for free."

They had thought it through from the beginning. After all, their second uncle and his family were old, and there would be no one to inherit such a large estate. Instead of giving it away to outsiders, it would be better to give it to them. After all, they were blood relatives.

They adopted Xiaobao so that when the second uncle and his family get old, there will be someone to inherit their things. Xiaobao is young and cannot be left alone, so they can move in to take care of him.

They can also help with things inside and outside the house, and when the second uncle gets old, they can also provide for them and take care of them.

I didn't expect them to be so ungrateful. They refused to agree after several visits. If Erya could help them, it would be a success. But Erya was stubborn and refused to go to ask for help.

"Then what should we do? Just wait like this? This is not a solution." Zhou Yue calmed down and asked Chen Dashan: "We came to this place, we don't have any fields, we don't have any land, we only have that little money, and Xiaobao is still young. If we don't have a way to make money, how can this big family live?"

"Don't bother me, let me think about it." Chen Dashan was upset by Zhou Yue's shouting, and then he thought of something: "I remember Erya should be fourteen after the Chinese New Year."

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Zhou Yue looked at Chen Dashan with some confusion.

Chen Dashan's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something. He lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Zhang in the village has a distant nephew who is 20 years old and has not yet married. I heard that the bride price is quite high."

Zhou Yue immediately understood what he meant, "You mean, marrying Erya off in exchange for the bride price?"

Chen Dashan sighed, "This is the only solution. Given the current situation at home, and Erya not willing to hand over the recipe, it would be better for her to get married and support her family."

Zhou Yue was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay then, I'll go talk to Mrs. Zhang tomorrow."

"What if Arya doesn't agree?"

"It's her parents' order and the matchmaker's words, she has no choice but to agree." Chen Dashan said: "Even if she disagrees, we will knock her out and tie her up in the bridal sedan. The matter is done, and it will be useless for her to make a fuss."

The two of them were discussing quietly in the room, not noticing a small figure outside the door.

San Ya eavesdropped for a while and then tiptoed back to the room.

"Second sister, please leave quickly." As soon as San Ya entered the room, she pushed Sui He out of the door.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Sui He was a little confused.
