Crossing the book to escape famine, poor little guy does not become cannon fodder reference group

Wang Zhaodi and Wang Pandi are twin sisters who just turned 14 this year.

At the beginning of this year, my father arranged marriages for them at the instigation of my stepmother. One of the families was a lame widower from the next village, and the other was the stupid son of a butcher in town. They thought that this was how their lives would be, but God was not kind to them. Not a drop of rain fell for half a year, and people from the entire county began to flee famine one after another.

The family that was originally engaged to her also came to her house to cancel the engagement and fled the famine early.

We had to leave the village a little later, as there was not much rice left at home.

The stepmother originally planned to sell them to buy food, but in this kind of year, the rich families in the city would not buy anyone. In order to save food, the two sisters were simply abandoned by their family.

I managed to survive for half a month by relying on the wild vegetables from the mountain behind, but the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the wild vegetables were all gone. I haven't eaten anything for four days now.

Just when they thought they were about to starve to death, five people came to the village.

"Master, the person is inside." They heard these words.

Wang Zhaodi struggled to get up from the bed, "Who... is it...?"

Her voice was weak, her throat was hoarse, and her lips were extremely chapped.

Yang Shaochun pushed the door open and scared her.

Song Pan'er was holding a small straw bag in her hand. She had instructed her father to make it for her, and she had her mother sew a small flower made of cloth on the bag.

Seeing the two sisters dying, Song Paner opened the small bag and took out a small bamboo tube filled with water and a cake.

Yang Shaochun understood and sighed in his heart that his young lady had a heart as kind as a bodhisattva.

Taking the bamboo tube and the pancake, Yang Shaochun handed them to Wang Zhaodi and said, "My young master gave them to me. Eat them."

Song Pan'er was not sure about the sisters' situation, and it was obvious that they had been hungry for a long time, so it was not advisable for them to eat too much at once. Therefore, she only gave them one pancake, which was enough to fill their stomach.

If these two sisters were not good people, she wouldn't lose much.

Wang Zhaodi looked at Song Pan'er with gratitude, took the bamboo tube and the pancake, and first fed her sister who had fainted from hunger some water. After the person was a little sober, she broke half of the pancake and gave it to her.

Wang Pandi opened her eyes dazedly, saw the pancake, and hurriedly pushed it out, "Sister, you eat it, you eat it."

She thought that she was dying, so she shouldn't waste the food and should leave it to her sister so that she could live longer.

Wang Zhaodi pointed at Yang Shaochun and Song Paner standing at the door and said, "Hurry up and eat. This is given by that young master. We can have half of the cake each."

Wang Pandi looked in the direction of Wang Zhaodi's finger and saw a child wearing green fine cotton clothes.

The child has red lips and white teeth, his hair is tied on top of his head, and he is holding an exquisite straw bag in his hand, like a fairy child under the Bodhisattva's seat.

Wang Pandi opened her mouth to say something when a piece of fragrant and soft pancake was stuffed into her mouth.

Wang Zhaodi also took a bite of a piece of bread. She was really hungry and as a village girl, she didn't care about whether it was rude or not.

Song Pan'er had no intention of staring at people eating, so she took Yang Shaochun out of the house.

Song Dahe was the only one in the yard. Qian Jinfeng and Zhang Honghua went to the neighboring house to find something useful.

Seeing his daughter come out, Song Dahe couldn't help but ask, "What's going on in there?"

Song Pan'er shook her head. "They are just two young ladies who are almost starving to death."

The two young ladies' coarse clothes were full of patches, and they wore tattered straw sandals. They were so skinny that it was obvious that they had not been living well before the drought.

Song Dahe made a "tsk" sound. When he heard his daughter say that there were two little girls who were almost starving to death, he understood that they were most likely abandoned by their families.

Nowadays, people value sons more and think that having a daughter is useless. If there is only a daughter in the family, they will not be able to hold their heads up in the village.

He and Qian Jinfeng are different. They actually prefer daughters from the bottom of their hearts.

My daughter is so caring and filial, she always thinks about her parents when there is anything good.

What's the point of having a lot of strength and being able to work? The eldest family has three children, and they haven't become successful!

It is said that young boys can make their fathers go bankrupt. The eldest wife’s family has three young boys. They are not good at work and are full of ulterior motives.

It is obvious that he is supported by the whole family, but he still has to act like the third branch is taking advantage and is being supported by the first branch.

So disgusting!

Song Pan'er pulled her father's sleeve and said, "Dad, let's ask about the situation later. If there is no problem, how about taking them with us?"

She always remembered what Li Shuang'an said to her.

You can recruit some people appropriately so that you can better protect yourself when fleeing from famine.

Zhang Honghua's husband died to protect the villagers. After Yang Shaochun fell ill, the villagers did not help her and even drove them out of the village. Such people tend to cherish their life after joining her family and will be more loyal to their family who provide them with food and clothing.

Song Pan'er is not a saint. Although she is compassionate, she is compassionate only when it does not harm her own interests.

We are on the road to escape famine, so it is better to be safe than sorry.

Song Dahe thought about it. The young ladies in the city were always surrounded by maids when they went out, so he thought his own daughter should have the same.

It is definitely not possible to keep him fed for nothing, and there is such a big secret at home, so it is better to sign a contract like the Zhang family.

"Okay, if you're sure there's no problem, let them sign the contract and become your maids to take care of you." Otherwise, why keep them? It would be better to save food and have more full meals.

Song Pan'er nodded. This was the only way for now. She had to start as a maid.

After they are trained and the family starts a business, they will be sent out to become managers and make their own way.

At this time, Qian Jinfeng and Zhang Honghua came back empty-handed, both cursing.

"If they couldn't take it away, that family would probably even take down the grass on the roof and take it away!" Qian Jinfeng put her hands on her hips. She had made a wasted trip and was very hot.

Zhang Honghua took out the palm-leaf fan from her waist and fanned her. Hearing this, she agreed, "That's right. They took away all the tables, chairs, and benches."

Song Pan'er and Song Dahe laughed out loud, and ended up getting slapped by Qian Jinfeng.

Wang Zhaodi and Wang Pandi had eaten and drunk some water, and their stomachs were full and they had regained some strength. They hurried out to kowtow to their little benefactor.

Song Pan'er asked them in detail about their experiences and was also very sad.

The two little sisters had never left the village since they were young. They only went to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables. So after being abandoned by their family, they did not dare to leave the village to find a way out. They stayed in the village all the time, which was very pitiful.

Song Dahe took the initiative and accepted them as maids for Song Pan'er, and asked them to put their fingerprints on the same contract as Zhang Honghua and her son.

Since their names sounded really unlucky, Song Pan'er asked for their opinions and changed them to "Pearl" and "Emerald". The new names sounded valuable, and no one could say that they were money-losing anymore.
