Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

The old lady felt around inside her tattered clothes and pulled out a small handkerchief. She opened the handkerchief and found a jade bracelet inside.

"grandmother!"

"This is my last dowry. I originally wanted to hold on to it until spring and sell it to buy some land for you. I really don't want to give it away until it's absolutely necessary. I'm afraid that after selling this, there will really be nothing left.

It's my fault, too. I've reached the end of my rope a long time ago. Yesterday I was hesitating whether to take it out. I was also afraid that you would use the money to buy medicine for me, and then I would really be out of options in the future."

"Grandma, as long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything. If you are gone, my sister and I will have no way out. Nothing is more important than you."

Liu Caixia has seen a lot along the way, including intrigues for family property, conflicts between brothers and fathers and sons, and conflicts between husbands and wives and children.

But I was still moved by the affection between grandparents and grandchildren.

They can get to where they are today thanks to the efforts of their entire family.

The old lady's husband's surname is Li. They have two sons and a daughter. They are a wealthy family with hundreds of acres of fertile land in the northwest. The eldest son is a scholar and works as a teacher in the town's school. The youngest son also received education, but his grades were not good, so he found a job as a waiter in the city.

The only flaw was that his eldest son Li Qin married a concubine when he was in his thirties. The family, which was originally harmonious, had many conflicts after the concubine came home.

"I absolutely refused to agree to him marrying her, but there was nothing I could do. My eldest son is too kind, and the girl just wanted to rely on him on purpose. If he had been a little more ruthless and firmly disagreed, those people would at most have gossiped a few times, but they wouldn't have dared to do anything."

Li Qin passed the examination for the title of scholar at the age of 25, and after that he married the girl he had been engaged to before. The girl had also waited for him from the age of 16 to 21. Originally, both families did not care whether he passed the examination for the title of scholar or not. They just wanted him to pass the examination for the title of citizen and then continue to take the examination after getting married.

But the girl believed that Li Qin would win, and they made a final agreement that if Li Qin had not won by the age of 25, they would get married. Although it would be a little late at that time, it would not have a big impact.

Fortunately, he was lucky and won the prize when he was 25 years old. They were both very happy, and both sets of parents happily held the wedding.

The next year, Li Yao was born. The two had a very good relationship and later she became pregnant, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage due to lack of care. She didn't give birth to her daughter, Li Wan'er, until she was in her thirties.

Their family's life was getting better and better. During one of Li Qin's outings, a rogue family from another village in the town targeted him. When he was passing by, their daughter accidentally fell into the river, and Li Qin rescued her.

In ancient times, many people relied on such means to rise to power, so when you go out, never be kind enough to save others.

After many twists and turns, Li Qin finally took the girl in. It was reasonable for a scholar to take a concubine.

People in this era could take concubines if they wanted, but they were afraid that they could not afford to support so many people. After all, it was impossible to support so many wives and concubines at home by just farming.

Not long after they moved in, a drought hit. At first, the family could barely hold on thanks to their savings and food reserves. As the drought became more and more severe, everyone fled the famine. They had no choice but to embark on the journey of fleeing the famine.

The old lady had a younger sister who lived in Linjiang Prefecture in Zhongzhou. After discussing it, the family fled in that direction.

At least the family has some small property, such as silver, gold and silver jewelry, so they won't be used up on the road and there will be some left. When they get here, they will have money to settle down their family.

Unexpectedly, they encountered robbers and refugees on the road. After encountering them twice, the old man and two sons in the family died one after another. After the old man and two sons died, the old lady had an idea and wanted to drive the concubine away.

It was not known whether the aunt had a plan in advance or had sensed her thoughts, but she took the initiative and stole one of her luggage and ran away.

The second son's wife went to chase her, but was pushed by her and fell down the hillside by the road. As she was unlucky, she fell headfirst onto the ground and died. The second son's son was also dragged down with her. When he saw his mother being pushed down the hillside, he wanted to catch her regardless of the consequences.

When the old lady said this, she began to cry.

"Madam, every time I think about it now, I want to chop that bitch into pieces."

Liu Caixia also sighed after hearing this. This family was really unlucky. The bad luck started when that concubine came into the family.

So sometimes you have to believe in Feng Shui.

When choosing a wife, one should look at the horoscope, or whether the two are compatible or not, there is always a certain probability.

"Old lady, the past is the past. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself. The dead are gone. Look at Yao'er and Wan'er. They both need you."

"Yes, you are right. When Yaoer said he wanted to steal money just now, I thought it through. This bracelet can be sold for fifty taels at least. Even if you buy me medicine, there will be some left. Take care of your body first. There is always hope if you stay alive.

I am also old and confused, I am not a person who knows nothing. When I am well again, I will go to the embroidery room to get some embroidery work and bring it back with money as collateral. If I take things from the embroidery room and do them myself, at least I can earn money to support us and not starve to death. "

The old lady took Liu Caixia's hand and said, "Thank you, Madam. You really helped our family a lot this time."

"Don't say that, old lady. I like Yao'er very much and I really want to hire him. He is so smart and can read. It's not a loss for me to hire him."

Liu Caixia also told the old lady about their family situation. After listening to her, the old lady became more determined in her thoughts, but she felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say this on the first meeting. After hesitating for a while, she finally said:

"Ma'am, can I ask you for a favor?"

Liu Caixia nodded: "You go ahead!"

"First of all, I want to ask you to help me sell this bracelet. Secondly, I want to buy a house where you live. Is that okay? Aren't you going to build an adobe house?

Just build an extra room and sell it to us. When I get better, I can work for your family. I am very good at embroidery. I can do farm work and other things. When the time comes, Yaoer will obey your orders. Just give us a meal. "

As expected of an old lady who has experienced the world, she thinks things through thoughtfully and long-term.

If the three of them didn't stick together for warmth, they might not be able to keep the money even if they had it.

The days ahead will definitely be filled with sneaking and hiding.

Looking at all these people around, they must all know each other.
