The next morning, Sun Mei was heard howling, "Where is my porcelain bottle? My medicine powder is gone! This is the best gold medicine I begged from the Sun family!"

In ancient times, gold wound medicine was often prepared with a variety of Chinese medicinal materials, and had the effects of stopping bleeding, relieving pain, reducing swelling, and promoting tissue regeneration.

Its ingredients may include Panax notoginseng, Sanguisorba officinalis, frankincense, myrrh and other medicinal materials that have the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, healing wounds and relieving pain.

Lin Wanwan smelled the scent of this golden medicine last night, and it was indeed a top-quality golden medicine.

Lin Song has woken up. He is still a little weak, but there is no serious problem.

Then I heard the sound of a gong ahead: "Keep going, we have to get to the next town today, everyone hurry up."

Everyone started packing their luggage. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Lin Song and said, "Song'er, is it urgent?"

Lin Song shook his head and said, "Mom, it's okay, it just still hurts a little."

Zhao Qiaoniang hated it so much, but there was nothing she could do. In the morning, she mixed some bran with water and ate breakfast like that.

The neighbors nearby saw their chaff, licked their lips, and asked, "Qiao Niang, are you making breakfast?"

"My eldest grandson is starving. How about giving him a bite?"

Zhao Qiaoniang quickly said, "Aunt He, my family only got a few people, so I dare not give it to you."

Aunt He snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it just a bite of food? Look at how stingy you are. If you don't give it to me, then don't give it to me."

Aunt He's grandson cried out "Wow!" and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry... wuwuwu..."

Aunt He looked at him and said:

"Their family is a disaster. Let's see if there are any wild vegetables. I'll find some for you. Isn't it just bran?

That's for pigs, we don't eat it."

Zhao Qiaoniang rolled her eyes, said nothing, and packed her luggage on her own.

Lin Dasheng walked over and said, "Wife..."

Zhao Qiaoniang ignored him completely. Such a man was unreliable and she could only rely on herself now.

Zhao Qiaoniang tied Lin Wanwan in front of her, carried the luggage on her back, and the group set off again.

Along the way, Lin Dasheng took the initiative to carry the luggage and hung around in front of Zhao Qiaoniang from time to time, but Zhao Qiaoniang ignored him at all.

Lin Dasheng scratched his head and said:

"Wife, I have no choice. I did exchange six bags of grain yesterday, but everyone in the village told me not to forget my parents.

I... I have no choice. Don’t we still have to rely on Linjia Village?

If they really kicked us out, we wouldn't be able to survive with our child."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him coldly and said, "Even if we follow the people from Linjia Village, can we survive?"

"Yes, I can hunt more prey in the future." Lin Dasheng was full of confidence.

Zhao Qiaoniang laughed and said:

"How do you know you'll be able to catch prey next time?

The key is that even if you kill prey, you will just give it to them, and we mothers will still not be able to eat it, so it is of no use at all."

"Isn't there some food this time? I will ask for more next time. My parents must be filial to me. I can't just ignore their life and death, right?" Lin Dasheng tried to persuade Zhao Qiaoniang.

Zhao Qiaoniang chuckled and said:

"Lin Dasheng, in your heart, your parents are always more important than us.

It doesn't matter. Starting tomorrow, you stay at home to take care of the kids, and I'll go out to find food..."

Lin Dasheng said angrily:

"You...you are totally unreasonable. Which woman went up the mountain?

It's not like there are no men anymore. Is it reasonable for a grown man like me to stay home and take care of the children?"

"Hehe... If you are useful, do you still need me to go up the mountain?" Zhao Qiaoniang was too lazy to pay attention to him. She had already decided to go up the mountain.

A village teacher and his wife came over. The teacher said, "How about we take care of your child for you? It's just a matter of helping out. Can you give us some food..."

The teacher's surname is Bai. He came to Linjia Village more than ten years ago. No one knows where he came from. The two depend on each other for survival.

Master Bai would usually accept a few students, but the villagers would only send some food and vegetables. Now it was a year of famine and no one had anything to eat.

Old Mrs. Bai is so thin that her bones are visible. She hasn't eaten for several meals.

At this time, who would take in two useless old people?

Master Bai burst into tears:

"I really have no other choice, Qiaoniang, I know you are a good person.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you. I can read and write, and I can teach your brother and sister to read. What do you think?"

People are so poor now that they don’t even have food to eat. Who has the leisure time to read?

Zhao Qiaoniang gritted her teeth and said, "Okay..."

Although she is a woman, she also knows that the only way out is to study.

Lin Dasheng looked at her and said, "Qiao Niang, are you crazy? The two of them are just a burden. Didn't you blame me before? Now..."

Zhao Qiaoniang glared at him and asked, "Then can you stay at home and take care of the children?"

"I... can let my parents..."

"Hahaha...if I let your parents take care of them, I'm afraid they will sell my children." Zhao Qiaoniang had concerns.

Lin Dasheng touched his nose and said nothing more.

Zhao Qiaoniang took out some bran and asked the two old people to eat a few bites. Mr. Bai and Old Lady Bai knelt down directly, which scared Zhao Qiaoniang.

Zhao Qiaoniang quickly helped them up and said:

"What are you doing? I'm helping as much as I can. It's tough for everyone right now. If I can find some food, we can have a little more.

I can't find it, so I can help you take care of the kids. If I have something to eat, you'll have something to eat."

Zhao Qiaoniang was not a kind-hearted person. Old Lady Bai had helped her before. Once, when she went up the mountain, she fell into a trap. It was Old Lady Bai who picked herbs and healed her leg.

They walked for a whole day, stopping and walking along the way. They stopped at night. Those who had the conditions made a fire and cooked, while those who didn't just ate something casually.

Even more people had nothing to eat. The elderly people in Linjia Village could still get some food, but people like Mr. Bai and Old Lady Bai, who were not from Linjia Village, could not even get a bite to eat.

In the evening, Zhao Qiaoniang took out the sweet potatoes and cut them with her rusty knife, giving each of them a piece. Lin Dasheng asked curiously, "Where did you get the sweet potatoes?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him coldly and said, "I picked it up. You're not going to tell your parents even this, are you?"

"Who do you take me for? I won't eat your food from now on, okay?

"Zhao Qiaoniang, you can't be so selfish. My parents gave birth to me and raised me. It wasn't easy." Lin Dasheng said expressionlessly.

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and said, "It wasn't easy for your parents to give birth to you and raise you, but your parents didn't give birth to me and raise me..."

Lin Wanwan really wanted to applaud. This mother was truly amazing. Every word she said hit the nail on the head.

"Heh! After you entered my Lin family's door, didn't you eat our Lin family's food?" Lin Dasheng said.

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at him and said:

"Ever since I married into your family, I've been treated like an ox or a horse, working from morning till night without a moment's rest.

The work in the fields was never-ending. When I returned home, what awaited me were piles of dirty clothes and meals to prepare for the family.

After dinner, there are another pile of dishes waiting for me to clean. I just ate a bite of your meal, don’t I deserve it? "
