"No need, Village Chief Chen, we have already rested enough, and the place where we are standing is big enough and the location is good enough. The space we make is just enough for you people in Chenjia Village to rest." Li Ming declined politely.

Chen Jiabao looked at Li Ming, who seemed to have no idea what he meant. He gritted his teeth in hatred and went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"Village Chief Li, as the saying goes, at home you rely on your parents, and when you go out you rely on your friends. People will always have difficulties when they are away from home. I see that your Daqin Village has no shortage of food and drink, so there should be plenty of food and water, right?

"Look at us again. Everyone in our village is pale and skinny, with almost no strength left. We have nothing to eat or drink. You guys can still eat meat, so can you please share some food and drink with us?" Chen Jiabao looked at Li Ming with a flattering look on his face, rubbing his hands together, and glancing at the horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts in Daqin Village.

Li Ming's face was grim, but he didn't tear his face apart. Instead, he looked at Chen Jiabao with embarrassment, "Village Chief Chen, you misunderstood us. We don't have to worry about food and drink. You see we are in good shape, that's because we risked our lives to enter the forest yesterday and caught two wild rabbits and pheasants.

Well, since they had entered the forest, several people in the village were injured, and the little bit of game they shared with the whole village was just for them to taste. Now, they were really hungry, so they just picked up some food from the mountain and ate it with the two rabbits and pheasants.

I'm ashamed to say that I ran into you while eating meat, which led to your misunderstanding."

Hearing his words, Chen Jiabao's face darkened and his tone was unhappy. "Village Chief Li, you are being too modest. Just look at the taste of meat this morning. How could it be produced by two pheasants and two rabbits? And I saw that all of you were eating dry food. You all have rosy complexions. You don't look like people who are short of food or drink.

We are all from the same village. You can't be so heartless and cheat us just for a little food. Can you just watch us die?

Look at the horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts in your village, look at the things on them, and then look at what the villagers are carrying on their backs and in their arms. And yet you're crying poor?"

Li Ming wanted to slap him twice, but he held back based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble. "What are you talking about, Village Chief Chen? Our Daqin Village is notoriously poor. Those big and small bags are just because we couldn't bear to leave our pots and pans, broken stools and chairs at home, so we brought them with us. It just looks too much.

And those ox carts and horse carriages, we bought them with the combined efforts of our entire village.”

Chen Jiabao saw that even after he said so much, Li Ming was still reluctant and refused to give food to his village. For a moment, he could not hold any more food.

"Li Ming, just give me the answer. Are you going to help me or not? You're being so hesitant and hesitant. It's really boring, you know that?"

Seeing his frustrated look, the village chief sneered, "Chen Jiabao, so you figured out that I don't want to help you!"

"You!" Chen Jiabao pointed his finger angrily.

"What do you mean? Have you forgotten what you were like before? Have you forgotten how much you looked down on the people of Daqin Village? Why are you begging us like a dog now? You are so shameless. It was you who said that the two villages should not have any contact with each other, and now you are the one who broke the rule.

I didn't want to tear my face off with you, but you are really shameless. You know how precious food is these days. A little bit of food can mean a life.

We don't have a very deep friendship, and we even have a grudge against each other. So why do you have the right to ask us to give you food and water?

And it seems you're not just saying that you want to help everyone in your village, but how many people are there in your village? How many people are there in our village? Have you been given food? What will we eat and drink? Have you ever thought about it?

You are a god! You are the emperor! You are nothing, so why should we sacrifice our lives to protect yours?

Don't try to play the emotional card with me here. There's no friendship between our two villages. I'm willing to speak to you in a nice tone because I'm well-mannered."

The village chief looked at the people in his village and said, "Fellow villagers, hurry up and pack up your things. Let's go, or we will be blamed by some people.

And men, hold on to your weapons. If anyone dares to try to snatch you, kill them back.

Anyway, we have killed a lot of people along the way, so we don’t care if we kill a few more!" He glared at Chen Jiabao fiercely.

Chen Jiabao was very angry. Just as he was about to shout "Get ready to rob" to his village, he saw Chen Dafen and his family running out from his village.

"Zhao Di! Zhao Di! I'm your father! Zhao Di, your father and mother are starving to death. Are you really not going to take care of them anymore?"

"Zhao Di! I'm your mother! You are your parents' biological daughter, you can't ignore them."

"Sister, sister, you have to help our family. If you don't help us, we will all die!"

It turned out that the people who ran away were Chen Zhaodi's family members. No wonder Chen Zhaodi seemed like a different person since the arrival of Chenjia Village. She used to be a carefree woman who smiled every day, but since the people from Chenjia Village showed up, she had a gloomy face and looked like she was ready to kill someone at any time.

Seeing that Chen Zhaodi ignored them, Chen Dafen's family's faces twisted, but they still wore ingratiating smiles, "Zhaodi! It was all my fault before, and I know it. I admit my mistake to you, and please don't be angry with me, okay?

Think about it, I carried you in my womb for ten months and raised you with all my heart. Although I have always favored your brother, I am also kind to you sisters.

Especially for you, you are my first child, how could I not love you? All the things I did were for our family, only when your brother is well, our family will be well, and when our family is well, you will have a backer when you get married in the future, right?" Chen smiled with wrinkles on her face, trying to play the emotional card with Chen Zhaodi.

This eldest girl has been filial and good-looking since she was a child. It was originally thought that she could be married to Mr. Liu and become his eighteenth concubine. Not only would she receive a generous betrothal gift, but she could also subsidize her parents' home from time to time.

Who knew that she was kidnapped by a boy from Daqin Village? They were so angry that they broke off relations with the girl. They asked for a lot of betrothal gifts but no dowry, which was equivalent to selling her directly to the Qin family.

He was afraid that his daughter would ask for money in the future, so he forced her to say that they would never have any contact with each other again.

Now seeing how the people in Daqin Village live, she regrets having acted so ruthlessly in the past!

Thinking of her daughter's resolute attitude at that time, Chen was unsure and could only keep playing the emotional card.
