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

Angry curses were suddenly heard from the ox cart. Su Rongze clapped his ears triumphantly and returned to his own carriage leisurely.

"Mom, it's done."

Sun Wan nodded with satisfaction, while Zhu Xiuqin clapped her hands and laughed excitedly: "Well done! That's right!"

"Let that kid ask for trouble!"

Su Rongze raised a sly smile and urged the coachman to speed up.

Soon, the scene of the ox cart up ahead, which had overturned on the side of the road, came into view.

The people in the car got up in a daze, and when they looked up, they saw the Darong Village carriage whizzing past them in a domineering manner.

"Wow!"

This time, it was Liu Meng's desperate and angry roar.

The young man trembled as he straightened the ox cart and came over with a sad face: "Third Young Master, it's ok...it's ok to go..."

Liu Meng turned around abruptly, stared at him fiercely, and kicked him out: "Go! I'll make you go quickly!"

He kicked the young man several times until he collapsed to the ground, spitting blood, and his anger subsided a little.

After venting his anger, Liu Meng got on the ox cart and drove away, ignoring the half-dead servant on the ground.

Filled with rage, Liu Meng rushed straight to his second brother's house in Qingshui Town. As soon as he opened the door, his second sister-in-law came up to him with tearful face.

When she saw it was Liu Meng, the second sister-in-law cried even harder: "Third brother! You are finally here!"

"Your second brother has been arrested by the government!"

Liu Meng was stunned on the spot.

……

Today's income from the stall is quite satisfactory, but because the prices are not very affordable, many customers give up after asking for the price.

Faced with this situation, the fledgling Su Guiying couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Mom, how about we set up our stall somewhere else?"

She stood on tiptoe and looked around, then whispered to Sun Wan, "Mom, the people here don't look well-dressed. I'm afraid they can't afford it."

"Why don't we try a more prosperous area?"

Sun Wan frowned. "No, the stalls in Qingshui Town are basically fixed, and each has its own territory."

"Many people have been operating here for years or even decades. We are new here, so it's not appropriate for us to rush in and compete with them for their business."

“The flow of people under this bridge is ever-changing, and the vendors mostly do temporary business, so they didn’t drive us away.”

Upon hearing this, Su Guiying lowered her head in disappointment: "So that's how it is..."

Sun Wan looked at her depressed daughter with heartache and gently stroked her dry hair: "Don't worry, it will eventually sell out."

"If they're all sold out, Mom will take you to the medicine store to buy some black sesame paste to nourish your hair."

Sun Wan had her own plans.

Since I'm determined to raise my children well, I naturally have to be willing to invest...

The eldest brother in the family is fine. After all, he is a boy, and he is learning medicine from the village chief. No matter what, he will have a skill to make a living in the future.

After my family's financial situation improves, I plan to send my eldest brother to a martial arts school to learn for a year or two, so that he will have someone to rely on for the rest of his life.

My daughter's problem is much more complicated.

At the moment, I have no choice but to bring her out in public for a living.

But after I became rich, I had to reduce the time my daughter spent outside.

We need to hire a knowledgeable female teacher to educate her well, and also take good care of her health.

Sun Wan clearly remembered why her daughter died in childbirth in her previous life. In addition to the harsh treatment she received from her in-laws, it was also because she had a weak constitution since childhood.

As someone who has been through it, she knows the importance of a healthy body to a woman.

Sun Wan was calculating in her mind, and the more she calculated, the more she felt that there would be countless places where she would need money in the future.

That’s not even counting the wedding expenses for these two children.

While she was making plans, Sun Wan looked up and caught a glimpse of a familiar face.

Isn’t that the waiter from Zuixianlou whom I met that day?

The waiter was pushing a cart full of fresh vegetables and poultry. It was obviously quite heavy, making it quite difficult for him to cross the bridge.

There were people coming and going on the bridge, and people would bump into the cart from time to time, making it increasingly difficult to control.

After repeated actions, the waiter finally lost his patience and shouted, "Where are your eyes?"

"I can't see anyone here, yet you're pushing your way in!"

The person being scolded was also unhappy and immediately retorted: "You are the tactless little scoundrel!"

"There are so many people here, and you're the only one occupying half the bridge. You think you're being unreasonable?"

"I insist on squeezing in, what can you do about it?"

After saying that, the man simply stood in front of the cart and refused to give way.

"Hey, you guy! What do you want? I'll teach you a lesson!"

The waiter was also impatient, so he threw away the handlebars and rushed over to take action.

But he was now going up the bridge, and when he loosened his grip, the whole cart suddenly slid down!

Vegetables were scattered all over the ground, and the poultry in the chicken and duck cages were frightened, screaming and their feathers flying.

"Ouch!"

The waiter screamed, but the crowd and the people opposite him burst into laughter at his embarrassed look.

Some people even took advantage of the chaos and deliberately picked up fruits and vegetables on the ground.

The waiter was anxious and annoyed. He pointed at the thief and shouted, "Hey there, put your things down!"

"If you steal again, I'll hand you over to the authorities!"

There were so many people and it was impossible to manage everything. The situation was out of control and chaotic.

Su Guiying was enjoying the scene, but Sun Wan suddenly pushed her and said, "Come on, help your mother!"

"Ok?"

Before Su Guiying could react, Sun Wan pulled her onto the bridge.

She bent down to help the waiter pick up the scattered things. The waiter initially thought that Sun Wan was here to take advantage of her and was about to get angry, but he saw Sun Wan gently put the picked up things back into the car.

The waiter was stunned.

Sun Wan seemed not to notice the embarrassment that flushed across his face.

After picking up the scattered things in front of her, she took the initiative to lend a hand to help the waiter steady the shaky cart.

The waiter thanked him awkwardly: "Thanks so much, Auntie!"

He then began to disperse the onlookers, no longer worrying about the safety of the cart. His hands and feet became much more nimble, and with the help of Su Guiying, he quickly put the scattered goods back in place.

There was a sigh from the crowd of onlookers.

"Mind your own business! Hey, those guys, return all my things!"

The waiter chased those people angrily to ask for their lost items.

Those guys were all well-known local ruffians, so he wouldn't catch them easily. They blended into the crowd and disappeared without a trace in no time.

Only the waiter was left, stamping his feet in anger, feeling aggrieved and annoyed, his eyes gradually turning red. He reluctantly returned to Sun Wan and took the cart from Gao She's hand.

"Thank you so much, Auntie."

"If you hadn't been here today, all the goods on my cart would have been lost!"

Before he finished speaking, the waiter couldn't hold back his tears and quickly wiped them away with his sleeve.

Sun Wan looked at the waiter in front of her who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and felt a pang of heartache in her heart.

She looked at the cargo in the car, which was full of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Fortunately, those chickens and ducks were too conspicuous, so those who wanted to take advantage of the situation probably wouldn't dare to take action.

"Young man, where did you get all this?"

The waiter was filled with gratitude to Sun Wan, so he said frankly: "They were all collected from the village."
