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

What's more, life is not easy for everyone nowadays, and these things taken out are not precious or rare items.

The group immediately set off towards Uncle Shunde's house, but just as they arrived in front of the village chief's hut, they heard a mixture of adults crying and children screaming inside.

"Grandpa, are you still counting on us to help take care of Su Yanyan's family? Have you forgotten that Su Dongyue was the one who caused my daughter to fall into the flood? How despicable..."

The person who spoke was Zhu Yousheng's wife Liu Daidi, who was crying.

Her voice was filled with sadness and anger, as if she was blaming God for being so unfavorable.

Then came the angry voice of the village chief: "No matter how you look at it, Yanyan is one of your relatives. Are you just going to ignore her at a time like this?"

His voice was deafening, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law's attitude, as if accusing her of indifference and ruthlessness.

"Father, we are now living our own lives!"

These words burst out from Liu Daidi's mouth with a firm and resolute tone.

It sounds like she no longer accepts any arrangements made by her father and is determined to gain more freedom and independence for her family.

"So what if we live our own lives? Blood is thicker than water. We must help!"

The village chief once again emphasized the importance of family and believed that helping each other was a matter of course.

In his heart, he always puts the interests of the family at the highest position and does not allow any compromise or giving up.

Bai Xiuqin was a little surprised when she heard this conversation. It was clearly the village chief who proposed the idea of ​​separating the households.

What is the situation right now?

A series of questions lingered in her mind like a tangled mess, making it impossible for her to find the answers immediately.

Not long ago, there was a big commotion outside Bai Xiuqin's house, but the village chief did not intervene to stop it.

Because he coveted the simple thatched hut, he condoned the gang's misdeeds.

Such behavior is chilling and reveals the greed deep within the hearts of some powerful people.

But Bai Xiuqin remembered every word he said.

So what can we do even so?

After much thought, he knew that this family must not be broken up like this.

If the family was divided, Bai Xiuqin would never help her daughter Yanyan on the way to escape famine.

But a daughter is her biological daughter, so she now forces her eldest son to continue taking care of her daughter.

Sometimes sacrifices or choices, even the most difficult ones, must be made to ensure a chance of survival.

By the river, Bai Xiuqin shouted loudly for her youngest son to take good care of her granddaughter, and said that her eldest granddaughter would become her youngest son's daughter-in-law in the future.

These words sound like a shot of adrenaline, hopefully bringing a glimmer of life and hope to this fragile family.

The village chief regretted it very much and wished he would not have divided the family earlier.

On the road of fleeing famine, the two families became relatives. What would happen if no one took care of Yanyan and her family of three?

This question weighed on his heart like a heavy stone, making him feel extremely heavy and helpless.

So he insisted that his eldest son take care of the baby, but he didn't expect that his eldest daughter-in-law would be very tough.

It is no wonder that this would make the usually strong village chief very angry. After all, for most parents, protecting their children's safety is always one of the most important things.

He was also very angry. After all, the person who harmed his granddaughter and granddaughter was not a good person.

No matter what, you can never forgive someone who has hurt your family, even if that person may have his or her own reasons.

But there is no way.

Life is often cruel and ruthless, forcing people to do things they don't want to do.

Bai Xiuqin didn't understand this, and even if she did, she would still be angry.

What good can there be in someone who hurts his own little son?

No matter if he was an in-law or something else, it was already polite not to beat him up.

She is filled with anger and hatred, and has no mercy on those who have hurt her loved ones.

This is a mother's instinctive expression of the most sincere and primitive emotion towards her children.

At this time, Su Yanyan began to shout loudly at Su Dongyue: "Dongyue, kneel down quickly and beg my aunt and uncle to help us escape the famine. If no one takes care of us after the family is divided, we will have no way out. Sister-in-law, please do a good deed and can't drive our family out! You can't just stand by and watch us die!"

His words revealed a sense of despair and extreme worry about the future.

There is nothing else to do at this moment except to ask others for help.

Liu Daidi was so angry that he laughed. "Yanyan, how dare you say that? What do you mean by watching someone die without helping? You are the one who doesn't help. Your daughter almost pushed my daughter and granddaughter into the flood. Isn't that murder? If it weren't for fleeing famine, I would have taken you to the county government office and had you beaten with thirty boards!"

Her words were full of sarcasm, and she did not hide the resentment she still felt for what had happened in the past.

She turned to the village chief and said, "Dad, let me put it this way. Since we've split up the family business, you and Mom can take care of them if you want. We'll move out, and we'll be responsible for their life and death."

After saying this, he prepared to turn around and leave, showing an uncompromising determination and attitude.

The village chief turned angrily and asked Zhu Yousheng, "Boss, do you think so too?"

He looked at his eldest son Zhu Yousheng with serious eyes.

His eyes revealed deep disappointment and anxiety about possible difficulties in the future.

Zhu Yousheng ignored his father's gaze and said firmly, "Dad, San Ya and I have the same idea."

He stood there, his body straight, his eyes determined, with no intention of retreating.

It was obvious that he had made his decision and was willing to bear all the consequences.

The village chief stamped his feet in anger and shouted, "Well, now that your wings are strong enough, you're going to fly away. You want to get rid of your father? Dream on! Daddy said he will never let you go out separately. You have to stay home and look after your sisters."

There were so many mixed emotions in those last few words—anger, frustration, and a sense of helplessness about the future.

But he still insisted on not letting his family break up.

Aunt Lihua kept wiping her tears and didn't want to care about her daughter and two granddaughters who were causing trouble.

They always brought her endless troubles and sorrows, but she could do nothing about it.

It is really difficult to escape famine with them. We don’t know how many difficulties and obstacles we will encounter along the way, and we never know when it will bring greater trouble to the family.

Life is hard enough as it is, and adding a few burdens makes it even worse.

But there is no way, after all, children are the apple of my eye.

As a mother, she couldn't bear to watch her children suffer and let them fend for themselves.

If they were not taken care of, the three of them, mother and daughter, would have no way to survive and might even face greater danger.

Take care of it?

This made her feel extremely conflicted.

Because the granddaughter clearly harmed his daughter and granddaughter, and now the eldest son has to take care of them. Who can accept such injustice?

The eldest son was already very aggrieved, and now he was made to bear such a heavy burden.
