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

Relying on their physical strength, the two strong young men ran back and forth twice before finally successfully completing the task - safely escorting three donkeys and a mule to their destination.

Following the safe delivery of this batch of supplies, Zhang Deshui's family members stepped onto this narrow but heavy-duty bridge one after another, and soon reached the other side smoothly.

Then, his son Zhang Songshu was responsible for carrying some necessities, shouldering the burden, and returning to the other side of the river with the children, including his wife Li Sanya and three brave little boys: Da Niu, Er Niu and San Niu.

Even though they were still young, the three boys showed extraordinary bravery and cooperation at this critical moment.

Following their father's instructions, they kept their eyes fixed on the road ahead without even glancing down, thus ensuring a smooth and efficient journey.

When their family successfully overcame the difficulties, it was the turn of one of the most prestigious families in the village - the butcher Su Dazhong's family.

The family was large and they had to carry a lot of luggage, even a strong donkey.

Therefore, a lot of time and effort was spent in the whole process.

Fortunately, after everyone's efforts, everyone finally successfully and safely completed this important migration.

Next it was Sun Wan's family's turn.

Sun Wan first asked Li Erhan and his wife to take Dingdang to walk in front. They stepped carefully onto the shaky wooden bridge, and every step was full of caution and vigilance.

Following closely behind were Li Xishui, Tonghua and Li Guangyang. They kept their distance silently, fearing any accidents.

Just as they reached the middle of the wooden bridge, Su Yanyan suddenly rushed over from the side.

Her face was distorted and full of madness. Before anyone could react, she was already standing on the bridge.

Then, Su Yanyan began to stomp her feet and yelled, "Jump, jump, get out of here! Give me back my daughter! Give me back my daughter!"

She screamed in anger and kicked the fragile wooden board in front of her again and again. As a result of this, the whole bridge swayed more and more violently from side to side.

Ye on the bridge was so frightened that her legs went weak and her face turned pale as paper. She almost fell down. Fortunately, Li Erhan beside her reached out and grabbed her tightly in time, preventing her from falling into the rushing water below.

Seeing this scene, the usually gentle Sun Wan was also furious. She quickly picked up a sturdy stick from the ground and hit Su Yanyan on the back of the head without hesitation. After a loud "bang", the latter fell straight onto the wooden bridge.

"Su Shunde, take your sister away quickly, or I will really kick her into the flood. You are worse than animals!"

Facing the irrational woman in front of her, Sun Wan said this almost through gritted teeth, with unprecedented coldness and anger in her voice.

After hearing this, Gu Yushi and Aunt Huaihua hurried forward and slowly helped Su Yanyan, who had fallen to the ground, up.

Although such a shocking thing happened at the scene, no one blamed Sun Wan in their hearts. Everyone was secretly glad that they did not suffer more serious injuries.

Su Yanyan's shouting caused the already unstable bridge to shake violently again, which frightened Xiao Lingling, who was already walking at the back with her parents. "Grandma, I'm scared! Grandma, I'm really scared!"

The little girl hugged her mother's thighs tightly, staring at the simple passage in front of her with wide eyes, which seemed like it might collapse at any time. Tears were already welling up in her eyes, and Ye in her arms was also trembling all over, standing there and not daring to move at all.

Seeing this, Li Erhan, who had already walked to the front of the team to be responsible for exploring the way, and Li Guangyang, who was carrying heavy objects, did not stop. Instead, they continued to move forward according to the previous agreement, because they knew that only by staying calm at this moment could they ensure the safety of their entire family.

At this moment, Sun Wan shouted to everyone, "Don't look back, just keep moving forward. I believe we can successfully cross this bridge."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly moved to the middle of the bridge. "Don't be afraid, Lingling. Your dear aunt is here and will definitely protect you."

Then, she gently took her tearful niece in her arms and used her other hand to hold her mother, who seemed a little bewildered, and said, "Mom, let's hurry up and catch up."

After watching them pass through the dangerous area, Sun Wan returned to the starting point to prepare to meet the rest of the people.

At the same time, Tonghua, who had been on standby for a long time, also began to actively help escort the other children to a safe transition.

As for Zhang Yu Niang, who was six months pregnant, her obviously protruding belly made it very inconvenient for her to move. In addition, it was raining and the roads were slippery, so this usually slim woman looked particularly fragile and weak.

Fortunately, Zhang Deshui, an honest man standing on the other side of the river, was particularly concerned about the situation of his younger siblings, and immediately ordered his son to rush over to provide assistance.

Zhang Songshu and Li Sanya hurried over, their faces showing very nervous expressions, obviously aware of the seriousness of the current situation.

Sun Wan said firmly to her eldest son, "Big Boss, you don't need to take anything. Just focus on helping your wife cross the bridge steadily. Nothing else matters. Safety comes first."

Su Yousheng then said to his brother, "Brother, we can go ahead and explore the way. This way it will be safer. You and sister-in-law can follow behind, but don't fall behind. This way you will feel safer, after all, you are not alone."

Turning aside, he gently comforted his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, don't look down. Just keep your eyes on the road ahead or at your feet. Don't worry too much. Mom and Dad are waiting for you across the street."

After understanding the criticality of this situation, Zhang Yu Niang nodded bravely despite her racing heart, trying hard to control her voice from trembling. "I'm not afraid, I really am."

She tried to encourage herself.

Noticing that her mother seemed a little scared, Su Yinan quickly shouted, "Mom, don't be afraid! Dad is right behind you to protect you. Hold his hand tightly, he will take you safely to the other side. Remember, don't look down, grandpa and grandma are waiting across the way for our family reunion."

Zhang Yu Niang was deeply moved by her son's considerate words. Tears welled up in her eyes. Her youngest son was so sensible and brave. She nodded vigorously and replied, "Don't be afraid, Mom. I will follow slowly and take good care of my sister. Don't worry."

At this moment, Zhang Songshu and Li Sanya were each carrying a heavy basket on their shoulders and a backpack full of goods on their backs. They were moving forward slowly, acting as pioneers.
