In the end, because of this tent, the entire Daqin Village became busy.

It was still early and the villagers were so excited that they couldn't sleep, so they started to get busy.

The men organized some people to go to the woods to find branches and sticks, and the remaining men began to look for some grass around that could be used to weave mats, and tried to weave as many mats as possible.

In the past, you could just lie down on the bed or on a flat stone, but now that you have a tent, you can’t just lie down on the ground. Not to mention a mattress, you have to at least have a straw mat on the ground!

The women gathered in groups of three or four, studying how to sew the tent. Since Song Shuyi and her friends had experience before, they had to answer questions from the villagers while sewing their own tents.

Daqin Village was bustling with activity. The other refugees seemed out of place in this lively scene. They looked over here frequently, and when they saw the villagers of Daqin Village taking out so many pieces of cloth, their eyes turned red with envy.

This group of people all looked energetic, with rosy complexions, booming voices, and brisk steps. It was obvious at a glance that they had enough food and drink.

Not to mention their condition, just looking at their full ox carts and horse carriages and the bulging luggage on their backs, you can tell that these people have no shortage of food and drink, and it can even be said that they have no shortage of money!

Didn’t you see how they took out so much good fabric to make something that looked like a little house?

There are always more troubles where there are many people, not to mention that there are already many people suffering from conjunctivitis.

"Hey, what are you doing? This is such good cloth, why are you cutting it like this? Why are you mending it? If you don't make clothes or pants with it, it will be a waste!" An old lady with a pointed chin and a mean look came over and pointed at the women who were cutting the cloth.

"I've been saying that you young people don't know how to live. If you don't need this fine cloth, then give it to someone who does. How many people here wear patched clothes? It's harder than climbing to the sky to get even a little bit. But you don't know how to cherish it now that you have it.

Why are you sewing something that looks like a house? Is it something you can eat or wear? This is pure waste. Waste is shameful, don't you know?

It's so hot today that I can't even lie on the ground like this. And you guys want to sew some little houses.

And you old people, these young people don’t know how to live, don’t you old guys know? You don’t even know how to persuade them.”

The old lady was talking to herself. Even though these people ignored her, she was still talking excitedly, with saliva flying everywhere and her face flushed with excitement. If you didn't know what was going on, you would really think that she was an elder who was worried about her younger generation.

"No, old lady, who are you?" Aunt Li stood up and asked the domineering old lady opposite her.

The old lady became even more arrogant when she saw that someone finally paid attention to her.

"Huh, what an uneducated bunch of you! I, an old lady, have been standing here talking to you for such a long time, and only one of you paid any attention to me.

It's fine that only one person pays attention to me, but you still ask who I am? Don't worry about who I am. At my age, I would be at least your mother-in-law in your family.

Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? " The old lady's tone was a little exasperated. She thought that after talking for so long, at least one person in this group should respect her. But no one paid any attention to her, but the one who did pay attention to her didn't respect her.

"Oh, my mother-in-law is dead, and my husband is also killed by me. Do you want to be my man?" Aunt Li put her hands on her hips, with a ruffian look on her face. Where is the virtuous woman?

Aunt Li's husband: ...When did I die? How come I didn't know?

But he did not refute. His wife was fighting against the villains, and he could not hinder her even if he did not help!

"You, you, you..." The old lady was so angry that she fell backwards. "Who wants to be your mother-in-law? You are such a jinx, and you still want to be my daughter-in-law? Why don't you look in the mirror to see if you are worthy?"

Aunt Li was neither impatient nor anxious. She said calmly, "If you don't want to be my mother-in-law, what are you talking about? I don't know you. It's none of your business whether I'm well-mannered or not!"

The old lady felt like she was going to be mad, but when she looked at the supplies behind them, she took two deep breaths and calmed herself down.

"I won't tell you too much. You all have no worries about food and water. Look at your overflowing supplies, and then look at us who don't have enough to eat or drink. How can you, a small group of people, take up so much supplies?

I won't say much. We don't want the things you're carrying. Please share the supplies on your horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts with us. The journey is long and arduous, and it's hard to carry so much stuff. We can help share some of the burden for you." The old lady had an expression that said, "I'm doing this for your own good," and she almost looked down at the villagers of Daqin Village.

When the other refugees heard what the old lady said, their eyes widened. While they looked down on the old lady for her shamelessness, they also secretly hoped that she would win.

The refugees didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of disrupting the "battle situation" over there!

Aunt Li was so angry that she was fuming. Just as she was about to say something to the old lady, Qin Wanwan stood up, pulled her behind her, and stood up herself.

Because the old lady was standing outside the crowd confronting Aunt Li, Qin Wanwan walked out of the crowd and stood opposite the old lady.

The old lady spotted a yellow-haired girl and sneered, "What's the matter? You guys are too scared to talk to an old lady like me, so you send a yellow-haired girl to get rid of me!"

Qin Wanwan tilted her head and said innocently, "Grandma, why should we send you away?"

"Hmph, I said so much just now, but it's as if you didn't hear me. I didn't even see any of you offer me a drink of water!" The old lady snorted.

Qin Wanwan continued to play dumb, "Grandma, you are thirsty, but water is very precious these days. How can you just give it to others?"

The old lady saw her foolish look and seemed to see an opening. Her eyes shone brightly. "We are from the same country and we met here. How can I be someone else?"

"So, we can be considered a family?" Qin Wanwan continued to ask.

"Of course," the old lady nodded excitedly, her tone inviting. "As a family, we should share things. It's not right for you to eat alone, right?"

Qin Wanwan thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Grandma is right! We should share everything, not just food and drinks, right?"

The old lady was excited, "Yes, yes, you are right!"

“What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine?”

"of course!"
