Transformed into an extremely evil grandmother and fled to escape famine with her children and grand

Li Lanzhen paused for a moment, turned around and saw that there was no one at the stairs. She said thank you silently in her heart, carried her backpack, and transferred the silver into the space while going downstairs.

When she got downstairs, she took the new backpack handed to her by the second brother and held it in her hand. The second brother smiled happily and saw her out of the gate of Jinfulai.

"Auntie, please go slowly. Take these snack crumbs back home to feed your children. We at Jinfulai don't have any food to exchange for you."

The second brother spoke loudly. Li Lanzhen looked at the people passing by and immediately understood what the second brother meant. He was using her as a pretense to extort money from Lai Jinfu and was saying this to the people passing by with ulterior motives.

He shook his head and murmured in agreement, "We didn't get any food today, what will happen to our grandchildren?"

Han Mingxiang, standing outside the door, looked at his mother in confusion as Jin Fulai mistook her for a beggar. He felt very upset and hurriedly took a few steps, took the new backpack from Li Lanzhen and put it on his back.

"Mom, let's go. Let's go home and look in the mountains. Maybe we can dig up some grass roots or something."

Han Mingxiang's unconscious cooperation completely dispelled the gazes of the people around who had been staring at the new backpack.

This also made Li Lanzhen realize that she had to keep a low profile from now on. In years of famine, people would do anything to get a bite to eat.

As the mother and daughter walked on the street, Han Mingxiang saw that there were fewer people on both sides of the street and no one was following them, so he said to Li Lanzhen, "Mom, let's go back."

"Xiang'er, take mother to the cattle and horse market. We also need to buy some water bags, oilcloth, and salt."

Han Mingxiang just thought that his mother wanted to go and have a look, so he agreed: "Okay, mother, the cattle, horse and mule market is in the West Market, let's walk there slowly. Mother, you eat a sesame cake first."

As he said that, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to her. Li Lanzhen took it and touched it and found it was still warm. This silly child, in such a hot day, in order to prevent the pancake from getting cold, she actually stuffed it into her arms to warm it.

She tore open the pancake and stuffed half of it into Han Mingxiang's mouth: "Eat it, Mommy ate some snacks at Jinfulai and she's not hungry anymore."

Half-believing and half-doubting, Han Mingxiang ate half of a pancake. When they were about to reach the cattle and horse market, they saw a few people in front of them surrounding an old man and arguing about something.

Li Lanzhen pulled Han Mingxiang and ran a few steps faster. When they got up to him, they found that the old man was probably in his 50s, with a weathered look on his face. He was holding a rope tightly in his hand, and at the other end of the rope was a big blue mule.

Li Lanzhen fell in love with the mule at first sight. Although it looked skinny, the mule had a big and strong skeleton and was in good spirits.

"Please be kind and buy this mule of mine. My grandson has had a fever for three days and I need money to see a doctor and buy herbs. If I don't see a doctor, my only grandson will die." The old man begged passers-by with tears in his eyes.

But people just stood there and watched, no one wanted to buy.

Li Lanzhen squeezed to the front to take a look and asked, "Brother, how much is your mule? Do you have a matching car?"

The old man looked at Li Lanzhen eagerly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and said, "Girl, do you want to buy it?"

Li Lanzhen: The generations are so confusing!

"I didn't buy it. It was the head of our village. I came to the county town to visit my daughter, and he asked me to see if there was a mule or donkey for him. After asking, he asked his four sons to come and buy it. He said he wanted to buy the car as well."

The old man wiped his tears and nodded repeatedly when he heard it: "Yes, yes, there is a mule cart. My home is in Xiaowangzhuang in front. Can you come with me to take a look?"

"Okay, let's go. We don't have anything to buy anymore. Everything is expensive. Food is even more expensive."

"Who said it wasn't? There's no way out."

Looking at the old man's hunched body, walking in front leading the big blue mule, Li Lanzhen felt sad. Having been born in that prosperous and powerful country in the future, she couldn't bear to see the people in that country who were still living in dire straits, without a place to live and clothes to wear. Their miserable appearance was heartbreaking and sad.

It took about a cup of tea to reach Xiaowangzhuang, which was much closer to the county town than their village.

As soon as they entered the village, they saw dilapidated courtyards one after another. The old man led them into a courtyard near the roadside.

"Old lady, someone is here. Bring half a bowl of water for the guest."

After a while, an old lady in tattered clothes came out, holding a bowl with a hole in it, and looked at Li Lanzhen and Han Mingxiang.

"Drink some water, not much, just to moisten your throat."

The water was not very clear. Li Lanzhen took a sip and handed it to Han Mingxiang, saying to the old man, "Tell us the price. We will buy it and then rush back home."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I thought so, you said that on purpose, it's right, for a bite of food, kind people become bad. If you want to buy the car as well, you can give me 30 taels of silver."

Seeing that Li Lanzhen had no expression on her face, she hurriedly explained: "My girl, this is really not expensive. If it weren't for my grandson who needed to see a doctor and buy herbs, I would not be willing to sell this old friend of mine."

Li Lanzhen thought, now that food is at a low price, why not be a good person? "Look, how about I give you 20 taels of silver, 3 jin of cornmeal, and 3 jin of wheat bran?"

The old man was surprised and afraid that Li Lanzhen would go back on her word, so he pulled Han Mingxiang and said, "Okay, okay! It's decided. Young man, you and I will pull the cart."

They led the mule to the backyard to harness the cart, and Li Lanzhen went to the mall to see if there was any replacement medicine. She felt dizzy for the whole day.

At first glance there is.

Anti-inflammatory powder, iodine tincture, cough suppressant tablets, isatis root granules, Band-Aids, and antipyretic granules.

That’s right, whatever you want will come true. You need to exchange seeds, which puzzled Li Lanzhen. She quickly browsed through the windows of the mall and saw packets of seeds in an inconspicuous window. It was marked next to it that 3 kilograms of soybeans were needed.

There was no time to check what the seeds were, so he quickly exchanged them with the soybeans in the space, and then exchanged the medicines. He only took out the antipyretic powder and put the rest into the space.

Seeing that he was the only one in the yard, he quickly opened the package, put three packets of antipyretic powder in a paper bag, and kneaded them.

At this time, the old man brought Han Mingxiang and the mule cart to the front yard.

Li Lanzhen looked at the car, which was 60% new, and was still satisfied.

"Here are 20 taels of silver and some food. This paper bag contains the antipyretic powder I bought for my grandchildren. Give it to your grandchildren. It should be good."

The old man and the old woman were crying with gratitude, and kept saying that good people will be rewarded.

The mother and daughter drove the mule cart out of Xiaowangzhuang and onto the main road, with the two old people thanking them profusely.

Han Mingxiang had just learned simple cart-driving skills from the old man. He let Li Lanzhen get on the cart, sat on the shaft, waved a branch, and shouted at the big blue mule to gallop towards home.

After passing through the village, Han Mingxiang looked at Li Lanzhen with sparkling eyes, and asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time: "Mom, we have a mule cart at home. Mom, how come we have so much silver at home?"

Li Lanzhen also smiled: "Yes, this big blue mule and this car are all ours. Don't ask about anything else."
