Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

“Yes! Go home and have a good meal!”

Everyone walked back happily, and behind them, in the direction of Xinghua Village, a pair of cloudy eyes watched the scene quietly.

……

After returning to the village, everyone heard the whole story, especially the thrilling part at Zuixianlou, which made them gasp.

"This old man is so stubborn. No wonder they are from the same family. It turns out that they are crooked from the very beginning!"

Aunt Ma covered her chest with her hands and glanced at the innocent and pretty Lin Xiangxiang next to her, and her anger grew even stronger.

"I just hope the county magistrate can lock that villain up for ten or eight years. Only then will I be relieved of the hatred in my heart!"

Everyone echoed the voice.

Sun Wan disagreed in her heart. After all, the Liu family was one of the richest families in the local area. Moreover, Liu Zijing was the county magistrate's favorite student and was about to marry the county magistrate's daughter.

Although Ren Moxuan is a son and has a great time outside, once he returns home and competes with his father, it is hard to say who will win.

Looking at everyone's indignant expressions, Sun Wan said nothing more.

In the evening, in order to appease Sun Wan and others, and to celebrate the fact that they were still part of Darong Village, everyone indulged themselves and used the dried meat they had saved along the way and the newly purchased rice to make a big pot of porridge.

During this dinner, the earthen kangs in the other two rooms were also cleaned up during the day.

The adults hurriedly got some hot water, took a nice bath, and then comfortably got into their new beds.

Feeling the light and warm quilt on their bodies, everyone hummed softly with comfort and then fell into a deep sleep.

Only Third Brother Ye prayed devoutly before going to bed for his younger sister to recover soon.

Even if consciousness cannot be restored for a while, at least they can withdraw the money they deposited in the other space.

After silently reciting his heart's wish, Brother Ye San fell asleep contentedly.

Qingquan Town, Renfu.

"Rebellious son! Why don't you kneel down properly!"

County Magistrate Ren was furious at his defiant son and almost fainted from anger.

Ren Moxuan looked at his father coldly, his eyes full of dissatisfaction: "What have I done wrong? Why should I kneel?"

"You unfilial son, you actually have the nerve to try to make excuses!"

County Magistrate Ren gritted his teeth in anger, pointing a trembling finger at Ren Moxuan, and shouted angrily, "You were so arrogant in Zuixianlou, acting like a county magistrate, and now you've just tied up your brother-in-law!"

"How could I have raised such a heartless person like you!"

Ren Moxuan's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked up at his father sternly.

"That guy is not even my brother-in-law!"

"I don't have a brother-in-law who's so greedy, lustful, and shameless! And my sister doesn't even like that guy!"

"Marriage is a matter of parents and matchmakers. When is it your turn as a young boy to interfere?"

Seeing his son contradict him every time he said something, Ren Zhixian finally lost his patience and shouted, "Are all the people outside dead? Bring us the family rules!"

"I must teach you a lesson today, you unfilial son!"

Ren Moxuan looked at his father's increasingly disappointed expression, "Father was clearly at Zuixianlou at the time, and he knew the whole story, yet he blindly protected me!"

"For Liu Zijing, you even sold out your own daughter and beat your own son. Sometimes I really wonder who your biological son is!"

"If you like Liu Zijing so much, why not just adopt him as your godson!"

Ren Moxuan glared at his father who was furious, but he remained calm and stood up and left.

"stop!"

Ren Zhixian roared, and Ren Moxuan walked away without looking back.

County Magistrate Ren was almost fainted from anger.

O'angbian's staff witnessed the dispute between father and son. Seeing that County Magistrate Ren was very angry, they hurried forward to comfort him.

"Sir, calm down! Sir, calm down!"

"Young people are full of energy and it's inevitable that they will act out of line. Don't take it personally."

County Magistrate Ren was furious. With a wave of his hand, the teacup shattered to pieces. He slumped weakly into his chair, his eyes filled with confusion. "This unfilial son..."

"Zhang Sheng, could it be that I committed some sin in my previous life that God sent this rebellious son to torture me?"

"The Liu family dominates this area and has close ties with the garrison commanders. As a newly appointed official, what else can I do except to establish good relations with them?"

"But he, what good thing did he do!"

County Magistrate Ren was so angry that he almost burst into tears.

The master quickly tried to persuade him: "Young Master, your character is still unsettled. You are devoted to learning and hate evil. You are a little naive."

"One day, the young master will understand your painstaking efforts."

"If that day comes, all my hard work will have paid off!"

County Magistrate Ren sighed deeply, his brows furrowed, and his face looked worried.

The master thought for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Sir, do you have any plans for Liu Zijing?"

"The Zuixianlou incident has caused a huge uproar in the city. Even if I want to protect him, I still have to consider public opinion."

When Liu Zijing was mentioned, a trace of annoyance flashed across County Magistrate Ren's face: "He is also an arrogant man. There are so many women in the world, but he chose to bully a simpleton."

"I thought he was a talented person and wanted to marry my daughter to him, but now it seems that this is not appropriate."

The master was not surprised by this.

This boss appears to be strict, but in fact he is the softest-hearted towards children.

Otherwise, how could Ren Moxuan have developed such a temper?

At the moment, Liu Zijing is obviously unreliable, and County Magistrate Ren will never marry his daughter to such a man.

But we can't really do anything to him. We can probably lock him up for a few days and let him go home once the storm is over.

Seeing that County Magistrate Ren looked tired, the lawyer tactfully withdrew.

……

In Xinghua Village, the Liu family's house is brightly lit.

After being hit by Sun Wan, Liu Lizheng developed a high fever after returning home.

The whole family was as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They called a doctor overnight and finally managed to stabilize Liu Lizheng's condition.

Liu Yan and Liu Meng stood by the bed with red eyes.

After taking the medicine, Liu Lizheng felt a little better. He looked up at his two sons beside the bed and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"We really underestimated those refugees fleeing famine. They could actually climb up to the county government office."

"There must be something behind this."

Liu Meng was impatient and hated the people of Darong Village to the core. He gritted his teeth and said, "So what? They are just some country bumpkins!"

"I'm going to take people and wipe out their village tonight!"

"useless!"

Liu Yan immediately stopped his brother, his eyes stern: "You are foolish! They can get to the county government office, so they must have someone behind them. If you take action, won't you be in trouble?"

The new county magistrate has only been in office for about half a year. Your second brother just finally got close to him, and now we're about to become in-laws. We can't mess around at this time!"

"Those people can't make any waves. When the time comes, we'll naturally find a way to deal with them."

Village chief Liu looked at his two sons lying in front of the sickbed, and couldn't help feeling a little lost.

These two guys, one impulsive and the other timid, never do things to his liking.
