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

The scene suddenly became comical. Sun Sheng, holding the baby in his arms and carrying his rations, fled far away from the scene. Zhu Xiuqin, clutching a bundle of firewood, tangled with Old Lady Sun and Song Ping. Soon, the three of them were rolling in the mud.

Sun Wan heard the commotion and rushed over, followed by the others, who hurriedly pulled the scuffle apart. Zhu Xiuqin, covered head to toe in mud, didn't forget to curse at Old Lady Sun and the others, "You blind son! How can you be so capable yet still live such a pathetic life? Your son is nothing but a good-looking piece of shit!"

Old Lady Sun's face was covered in mud, and she was furious. She insisted on fighting back: "That's better than you! You're so old, I'm afraid you won't even be able to find someone to collect your body!"

"you……!"

Zhu Xiuqin's hands were restrained, and she stretched out her leg to hit Old Lady Sun, but was pulled back by the person who was stopping her. Unexpectedly, the kick hit Er Quezi who was watching the fun on the side.

"Ouch!"

Er Quezi cried out in pain, complaining to Zhu Xiuqin, "Why don't you aim carefully before you kick me!"

Zhu Xiuqin didn't want to listen at all. She turned around and spat at him: "Go to hell, lazy bastard. You laughed at me and deserved to be kicked!"

Before he finished speaking, he tried to lift his leg again, scaring the people around him so much that they stepped back.

"Crazy bitch, what a crazy bitch!"

Erquezi brushed off the dirt on his body, looked gloomy, and moved further away.

The village chief and Sun Wan were both stunned when they saw this scene. Sun Wan knew that Sun Wan was just trying to vent her anger, and was too embarrassed to say anything. She could only go forward and hug Zhu Xiuqin, softly comforting her: "Xiuqin, don't be angry, I understand your feelings."

After making a fuss for a long time, Zhu Xiuqin finally heard the words of the confidant. The grievance in her heart was like a river bursting its banks. She opened her mouth and burst into tears: "Sun family sister..."

She cried and threw herself into Sun Wan's arms, smearing Sun Wan with snot, tears and mud.

Sun Wan was at a loss for words and could only hug her and comfort her.

On the other side, the village chief's face was livid. He stared coldly at the subdued Old Lady Sun and said sternly, "Old Lady Sun, we are of the same generation. I was giving in to you because we are fellow villagers."

"But if you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being ruthless and kicking you out!"

Seeing that the village chief seemed serious, Old Lady Sun and her companions immediately restrained themselves.

"She was the one who started the fight. Oh, old village chief, you have to be fair!"

The village chief didn't even frown: "How could I not know the temperaments of you guys?"

This one sentence left Old Lady Sun speechless.

Seeing that she was no longer making trouble, the village chief was annoyed but also relieved.

Zhu Xiuqin raised her chin triumphantly and looked at Old Lady Sun provocatively.

Unexpectedly, the village chief suddenly said, "I don't think the rain is too heavy. Everyone has almost finished eating the wild vegetables. Xiuqin, go to the hillside over there and dig some dandelions."

Zhu Xiuqin was stunned when she heard this. She pointed at herself with trembling fingers: "Me? Am I the only one?"

"if not?"

The village chief tapped Zhu Xiuqin's feet with his cane in annoyance: "You are so full, move more!"

"I just passed by and saw a lot of dandelions on that hill. If you don't dig a couple of baskets, you won't be able to eat tonight!"

Zhu Xiuqin's face suddenly turned green.

Although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey, so he had to move up the hillside with his shoulders slumped and the basket on his back.

Erquezi couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

As soon as the laughter started, Zhu Xiuqin rolled her eyes.

As soon as Ergouzi saw Zhu Xiuqin's malicious eyes, he began to retreat in his heart. He was thinking about how to escape, but Zhu Xiuqin grabbed him by the collar and he couldn't escape.

"What are you so happy about? Come dig the ground with me!"

Ergouzi struggled and shouted, "Didn't the village chief tell you to go it alone? Why are you dragging me along?" Although he shouted, his little strength was like child's play in front of Zhu Xiuqin.

Seeing how cheerful he was, Zhu Xiuqin suddenly tugged at Er Gouzi's shoulders, shook him vigorously a few times, and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Ergouzi was shaken so much that he was dizzy. The roar in his ear scared him so much that he was dragged away by Zhu Xiuqin in a daze!

The crowd watching the excitement around were laughing so hard that they were rolling on the floor. Even Sun Wan was holding back a smile from the corners of her eyes.

She had originally wanted to dig wild vegetables with Zhu Xiuqin, but she didn't expect that as soon as she approached, she was pushed back by Zhu Xiuqin: "Sister-in-law Sun, I know you have good intentions, but I am happy to take care of this matter myself!"

"I just can't stand those people who eat and drink from others and then turn around and act so ungrateful!"

Zhu Xiuqin deliberately said this loudly, and Old Lady Sun's expression immediately changed.

Zhu Xiuqin snorted complacently and shook her two long braids, which fluttered in the air.

"An old maid who can't get married!"

Sun Tao muttered softly, then turned to comfort Old Lady Sun: "Mom, there's no point in getting mad at people like that."

Old Mrs. Sun glanced at him sideways.

Sun Tao was stunned by the look: "Mom, what's going on?"

"What's wrong? You unfilial thing!"

Old Mrs. Sun was suddenly slapped on Sun Tao's back with such force that he almost fell to the ground in pain.

"Ouch!"

Sun Tao finally managed to steady himself and looked up, only to see his mother had angrily walked back to the shed and sat down.

"Mom is really a naughty old girl, hehe..." Sun Tao smiled awkwardly and rubbed against Song Ping.

Unexpectedly, Song Ping also rolled her eyes at him. Although she didn't do anything, the disgust in her eyes was exactly the same as that of Old Lady Sun.

She twisted her waist and returned to the bottom of the shed.

After being repeatedly treated with cold stares by the two female generals in the family, Sun Tao couldn't help but complain to Sun Zhuo in front of his son: "No wonder the ancients said that women and children are difficult to support!"

When Sun Zhuo heard this, he immediately imitated his grandmother and mother and rolled his eyes at Sun Tao: "You are the most difficult to please!"

"Grandma said I'm the cutest kid in the world!"

After saying that, he broke free from Sun Tao and threw himself into the arms of Old Lady Sun.

Sun Tao: “…”

In this world, there is really a rule where everything conquers everything else!

Doesn't he have a say in Old Sun's house?

……

Despite all the commotion recently, everyone's mood was not affected at all. Instead, they felt like they had watched a play for free and their mood improved a lot.

By the time Zhu Xiuqin and Er Gouzi came back with a basket on their backs, bickering all the way, the bean rice had already been cooked and smelled delicious.

Bean rice is just a mixture of various beans, cooked until soft, with some wild vegetables and salt. It is extremely simple.

Although the taste is ordinary, it is affordable and filling.

Although it can't compare to bacon rice, but at this moment, enjoying it quietly does add a rare sense of satisfaction.

After the meal, Sun Wan specially cut some ginger and boiled a large pot of ginger soup to warm everyone up.

Old Mrs. Sun and others who were chewing on dry biscuits felt even worse.
