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

Sun Wan was exhausted and nodded reluctantly, then stood up with the support of Su Guiying.

As soon as they came out of the cave, dark clouds gathered and the wind became stronger. The village chief looked up at the sky with a worried look on his face.

Su Duanxu presented two sweet potatoes attentively, but Sun Wan ignored him and walked towards the village chief.

"Uncle Li, with this weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily before tonight."

When the village chief saw that it was Sun Wan, he said, "Yes!"

He hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to hide from Sun Wan.

Sun Wan smiled generously: "There is something I want to discuss with you."

"A rainstorm is no small matter. Getting wet is a minor concern, but catching a cold can be life-threatening."

"This cave is the ultimate refuge. If you don't mind, please come in and take shelter from the storm!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed with surprise and gratitude: "Okay, I'll gather the villagers immediately!"

"Don't worry, I will take good care of everyone and ensure the cave is clean!"

Sun Wan smiled calmly and stuffed the sweet potato into the village chief's hands: "We are all fellow villagers, no need to be polite!"

After saying this, Sun Wan turned around and walked into the cave, ignoring the village chief's intention to hand it back.

Except for the pots, pans, and utensils that were exposed, the rest of the objects were put away in a secret place, and the cave suddenly became bright.

Su Guiying followed the sound and looked around. She asked in confusion, "Mother, why does this cave seem to be getting wider?"

Sun Wan did not answer and checked Xiao Fuzi's forehead again. The high fever had subsided, but he still had not woken up.

The old village chief's words stirred up waves in her heart. Seeing her mother remained silent, Su Guiying pouted and leaned closer, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"

"You've changed so much these days. It's fine if you ignore your brother and sister-in-law, but why do you even ignore me?"

As Su Guiying spoke, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, because her mother had always favored her the most.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wan didn't do what she usually did. Instead, she pushed her away with a serious expression, her eyes full of scrutiny: "Have you completed your task of collecting wild vegetables?"

The smile on Su Guiying's face froze, and then she puffed up her cheeks angrily: "Mom! Are you listening to me?"

Sun Wan sneered, stood up, and brushed off the straw scraps on her body. "As your mother, I don't have time to argue with you. I just know that if you slack off again, you won't be able to have dinner tonight!"

After saying that, Sun Wan left the cave without looking back.

At the same time, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the cave under the leadership of the village chief.

Most of the villagers were filled with gratitude, especially Zhu Xiuqin, the Su family's former neighbor. She excitedly handed Sun Wan a handful of homegrown greens: "Sister Sun, these are my own! Please try them!"

A hint of tenderness flashed in Sun Wan's eyes. She took the vegetables without any hesitation, and the villagers also rushed into the cave.

With more than twenty people, the cave seemed crowded in an instant.

At this moment, a dissatisfied voice emerged: "The place is not big, and you put so many things to take up space. How petty!"

Everyone fell silent involuntarily.

Sun Wan's face was calm. She looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who said this was not someone else.

It was her younger brother Sun Yaozu.

Her tone was calm, but every word was as sharp as a needle: "If you don't want to stay, get out now!"

Sun Yaozu was choked by Sun Wan's words and was speechless, pointing his trembling fingers at Sun Wan.

But before he could react, Su Rongze, who was outside the cave, heard the noise and walked in.

He was a big man, and despite his mobility issues, he still had an imposing aura. Standing at the entrance of the cave, he blocked most of the light, and the cave suddenly became much darker.

Sun Yaozu immediately fell silent.

He threw his hands in anger and said angrily, "I won't argue with you, crazy woman!"

Sun Wan was too lazy to pay attention to Sun Yaozu.

"Boom!"

At this moment, thunder suddenly sounded outside the cave.

Then it started to rain heavily, and in the blink of an eye it became a curtain of rain.

People couldn't help but shrink into the cave, fearing that they would be splashed by rain.

The old village chief looked at the heavy rain, feeling worried but also somewhat relieved.

"Rain has been scarce this summer, so this heavy rain is just in time to revive the crops."

Zhang Daniu heard this and said, "What's the use? We can't even go home, and our crops will just go to those White Scarf Army for nothing."

When Zhang Daniu mentioned the hundreds of villagers who died in the village, his eyes turned red and he clenched his fists and scolded them: "These beasts!"

Inside the cave, everyone's hearts sank, their faces filled with grief and anger.

Su Guiying couldn't help sobbing: "Third brother is gone..."

Su Rongze gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, and Su Duanxu also showed a rare sadness.

Only Sun Wan had a blank expression on her face, as if losing a son was of no consequence to her.

Seeing this scene, Su Guiying pouted even higher.

Her mother has really changed.

He turned into a cruel and ruthless weirdo!

Sun Wan was not worried about Su Chongsong because she knew very well in her heart that the boy was fine and alive and well!

Not only was he alive, Su Chongsong also took advantage of the chaos to run to the Lin family and beg for mercy!

I saved money to send him to study in the city, hoping that he would make a name for himself.

But he is not motivated to make progress. All he does is think about how to curry favor with the rich people in the city.

He was really lucky to have hooked up with the daughter of the Lin family.

In his previous life, when the White Turban Rebellion broke out, Su Chongsong cried and shouted that all his family members were gone, and he shamelessly moved into the Lin family.

He also acted first and asked for permission later from Miss Lin's family, and eventually became a son-in-law.

While his mother and elder brother at home were starving outside, he was so good that he devoted himself to being a watchdog for them!

Whenever Sun Wan thought of her third son's fawning look, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.

When Su Guiying and Su Duanxu saw Sun Wan like this, they quietly took a few steps back.

It was raining heavily outside the cave, making it impossible to go out. There was nothing to do in the cave, so everyone quickly found a place to take a nap.

Zhang Daniu and Su Rongze volunteered to guard the cave entrance. Sun Wan couldn't sleep, so she simply closed her eyes and rested, and sorted out the items in the space.

These days, Sun Wan studies this magical space whenever she has the chance.

Gradually, I learned the technique of entering without using my body, but controlling it with my mind.

This space is about ten acres in size and looks spacious.

But once the stored food and chickens and ducks at home were put in, there was not much space left.

Sun Wan was particularly concerned about the spiritual spring and was very worried that the chickens and ducks would pollute it.

We had to keep them far away and even their feces had to be cleaned up in the vegetable garden.

After finishing all this, Sun Wan fed them food and water, and picked some ginger from the vegetable garden.

When she opened her eyes again, she suddenly found that it was already dark!

The rain outside still didn't stop, and even got heavier. The people in the cave could no longer sleep well. They looked outside, their hearts filled with anxiety and worry.

"Village chief, we won't be flooded, right?"

Uncle Li shook his head and said, "The terrain here is high and the rocks are solid, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

If we continue like this, the way down the mountain will probably become difficult.

The village chief did not say this out loud to avoid causing panic.

Sun Wan also thought of the road, but now there was another more pressing problem.
