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

The second one is more considerate.

He sighed softly, then suddenly had a violent coughing fit, which immediately caused his two sons to worry: "Dad!"

Village Chief Liu waved his hands, his cheeks flushed from coughing. "This matter requires the second brother to take action."

"The most important thing right now is to find out how they got in touch with the county government."

“Only when you understand the ins and outs can you prescribe the right medicine.”

"Third brother, go to Qingshui Town tomorrow and tell your second brother about this situation."

“He knows what to do.”

When the two sons heard this, a trace of sadness flashed across their faces.

It’s always like this, Dad always trusts my second brother’s ability more.

The two nodded obediently: "Yes."

After taking the medicine, Village Chief Liu soon felt drowsy. The two of them left the main room and came to the yard, where they both fell silent.

It was Liu Meng who spoke first: "Brother, Dad won't give all the family property to Second Brother in the future, right?"

Liu Yan was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He first looked at the main room in panic, then quickly covered his third brother's mouth and pulled him aside: "What are you talking about!"

"Dad is in good health. If anyone hears what you said, he'll definitely get a beating!"

Liu Meng pouted: "This is obvious."

"Dad's health hasn't been good since last year. Even Doctor Qinglu checked him out, and he said he'd only have the next year or two to go."

"Look at Dad's current attitude. The two of us combined are no match for my second brother alone."

"Not to mention that my second brother is now a student, has even taken the county magistrate as his master, and is about to marry the county magistrate's daughter..."

Liu Meng's eyes flashed with resentment as he said, "Big Brother, how come all the good things you said were caught up by Second Brother?"

After hearing what his brother said, Liu Yan felt complicated.

But he still kept a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense."

"The three of us brothers are all Dad's sons. Dad has always been fair and would never treat us unfairly."

"Third brother, you're thinking the wrong way."

Liu Meng listened to what his elder brother said, lowered his head in thought, and remained silent for a long time.

……

After a good night's sleep, the people in Darong Village got up one after another as soon as the sky turned pale.

Since everyone slept in a dormitory, when one person got up, the others would wake up too.

Because of Lin Xiangxiang’s kidnapping yesterday, pine nuts were only sold for half a day. Today, everyone has stocked up on pine nuts, and more people are going to the town to sell them.

As for Lin Xiangxiang, I dare not ask her to go to town again.

Fortunately, with the medicine prescribed by Doctor Qinglu, Brother Ye San kept his younger sister by his side to take care of her.

Before leaving, Sun Wan found Su Duanxu.

Since that time when mother and son had a frank conversation, Su Duanxu has obviously become much calmer.

They had originally agreed to go their separate ways when they arrived in Huizhou, but when they finally arrived in Huizhou and saw with their own eyes the hardships of survival for people in a foreign land, Su Duanxu never mentioned leaving again.

He worked with everyone in the village day after day, but never dared to look Sun Wan in the eye.

Sun Wan's heart was as clear as a mirror, and she could see through the little tricks in her good-for-nothing son's mind at a glance.

She didn't want to force her son to leave, but she couldn't tolerate such an unfilial child hanging around in front of her all day.

So, that day she took the initiative to find Sun Wan.

Su Duanxu seemed uneasy, with his head lowered, not daring to look directly at Sun Wan.

Sun Wan was as cold as ice, staring at him sharply: "Have you thought it through?"

"Since you resent me and are unwilling to leave, sooner or later we will have to come to an explanation."

"I am your mother, and you are my flesh and blood. How could we not understand each other?"

Sun Wan spoke calmly, as if she were talking to a stranger: "You have a confused personality and are easily deceived. In the past, you believed everything others said."

"But I hate this kind of people the most. Why don't we make things clear today and cut ties once and for all?"

"From today on, you can stay in Darong Village, but we are not mother and son. Tonight I will tell everyone that our mother-son relationship has ended, so let's part ways amicably."

After Sun Wan finished speaking, Su Duanxu kept his head down, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, looking like the coward he used to be.

Sun Wan sighed, ignored him, and turned away.

The news that Sun Wan and Su Duanxu had severed their relationship quickly spread throughout the village.

Mainly because Sun Wan did not hide it.

Not only that, she even invited the village chief to testify and publicly declared that she had severed her mother-son relationship with Su Duanxu.

From then on, the two lived their own lives and had nothing to do with each other.

The villagers were in an uproar.

Many people could not understand Sun Wan's decision, but after all, this was Sun Wan's family affair, and she was determined, so even if everyone wanted to persuade her, they could not find a suitable reason.

Only Su Guiying, although she had the position, did not dare to speak up to persuade them.

At this moment, in her heart, her mother was the only person in the world who truly cared about and loved her, and she did not dare to go against Sun Wan's wishes in the slightest.

As for Su Duanxu...

Su Guiying felt mixed emotions. Her brother had never had any feelings for her since childhood, and after getting married, he regarded that small family as his only concern.

Not to mention the incident that made her feel uncomfortable...

Whenever Su Guiying thought of the scene in the cave, her body would tremble slightly involuntarily.

Today was the day she was accompanying Sun Wan to Qingshui Town. Sun Wan carried the pine cones on her back and turned around to find her daughter standing there blankly. She asked in surprise, "Guiying?"

Su Guiying suddenly came to her senses, quickly picked up the basket on the ground and put it on her shoulder.

Seeing Su Guiying absent-minded, Sun Wan hesitated for a moment: "How about you rest at home today, and then accompany me to the town in a couple of days."

"Mom, I'm fine. I was just distracted for a moment." Su Guiying quickly shook her head.

Seeing that she insisted on going, Sun Wan stopped trying to stop her.

Unexpectedly, I ran into people from the Liu family as soon as I left the village.

The Liu family also had their own ox cart. Although its speed was far slower than the horse-drawn carriage that Sun Wan rode, it was gorgeously decorated, spacious, and a full circle larger.

Liu Meng in the car glanced at the people from Darong Village, his eyes full of hostility and contempt.

Then he winked at the driver.

The servant took the order and deliberately drove the ox cart to the middle of the road, blocking the entire road.

"This group of people don't know their place!"

Zhu Xiuqin couldn't hold back and was about to explode, but was stopped by Sun Wan.

"This kind of person is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Arguing with them is just a waste of words."

"Boss, you go and handle it."

When Su Rongze heard this, he was mentally prepared. He jumped off the carriage nimbly and strode to the ox cart in front.

The young man in the car immediately became alert, his eyes wide open: "What do you want to do!"

Su Rongze smiled faintly, and in a flash, he pulled out a whip from behind and with a "snap" sound, hit the cow's eyes squarely.

"Moo-!"

The old cow, which was strolling leisurely and slowly just now, suddenly let out a heart-wrenching roar in pain!

The frightened old ox lowered its head and ran forward suddenly. The whole ox cart shook violently and rushed out like an arrow.

"Ouch! You bastard!"
