Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

Chen and Zhou Laoer arrived in town.

I realized that in just a few days, there were many more refugees on the streets.

Those people, dressed in tattered clothes, sat in the streets and alleys, casting their bright eyes at everyone who passed by, making passers-by involuntarily speed up their pace.

Chen was also a little uneasy.

It's only been a short time. If it were any longer, wouldn't the town be full of refugees...

If something goes wrong, what will happen to her parents?

Thinking of this, Chen felt that her daughter was right, so she urged Zhou Laoer:

"Hurry up and tell Mom and Dad to pack their bags. We'll go to the store and come back to pick them up."

Zhou Laoer received the order, raised the bull whip in his hand and flicked it lightly.

The strong yellow ox mooed twice, raised its hooves and started running.

The crisp sound of cattle hooves fell on the street, attracting the attention of countless refugees. Many people swallowed their saliva as they looked at the yellow cattle...

Chen family.

Only Old Mrs. Chen and Chen the Butcher were at home, while Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen had gone to the street to buy food.

Butcher Chen hasn't set up his stall for a few days.

These days, the old lady felt that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

A few days ago, Chen the butcher bought seven or eight pigs from the village at a high price, but he couldn't sell them at the same price in the town, and even had half of the pig stolen.

If Chen the Butcher and Uncle Chen had not been fearless and chopped those people with their knives, the remaining half of the pig would have been stolen.

Chen Jiakang asked Sang Lin to tell Zhou Lingling about this. Zhou Lingling then asked Sang Lin to send all the remaining pigs of the Chen family to her and gave the silver to Chen Jiakang.

As a result, that night, when Chen Jiakang came back with the silver, he was not only beaten up, but also made to kneel in the yard all night. He was unable to get up and go to the store the next day.

It can be said that if it weren’t for Zhou Lingling, half of the Chen family’s wealth would have been lost.

However, Zhou Lingling took over the business, which made the already angry Mrs. Chen so angry that she fell ill.

A few days ago, Chen came to the town to take care of the old lady.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

As soon as Chen entered the door, she looked at the two old men who were sitting in the east and west of the yard, and who did not interfere with each other, and sighed helplessly.

The old lady raised her eyelids, looked behind her daughter and son-in-law, and replied lightly:

"Well, I'm back now. Do you really need someone to welcome you with drums and gongs?"

Butcher Chen smiled at his daughter and said nothing.

After all, he's even breathing wrong now...

Chen looked at her father sympathetically and walked towards Old Lady Chen.

"Mom, are you still angry?"

Old Mrs. Chen turned around, obviously refusing to talk to her daughter.

Chen: "Hey! Why are you ignoring me?"

"Your granddaughter specifically told me to take you two elders to stay at the farm for a while. If that's what you want, then I'll leave..."

Old Mrs. Chen turned back and glanced at her daughter: "You asked me to stay with you for a while, but how can an old woman like me have the nerve to stay with you for a while now?"

As she spoke, the old lady started to get angry again.

Seeing that her mother's breathing became rapid, Chen hurried forward to help her breathe.

"Mom, don't be angry, don't be angry, let's not be angry!"

"Come on, you're already old, but why are you still so angry?"

Butcher Chen also rushed over with a worried look on his face.

"Old woman, I know I was wrong. I accept all the beatings and scoldings. Please don't be angry..."

The old lady had a bad temper when she was young, but since her son got married and married a virtuous wife who took good care of the home and outside, the old lady's mood has become much calmer.

I didn't expect that in my old age, I would bring such a big disaster to my children!

"You know you're wrong? How can you say you know you're wrong? You're blind!"

"Nowadays, in the entire county, only that village has a hard time? At least they have fields and land, and they live off the land. You have no roots or foundation in this town, and that's really pitiful!"

"When you're almost starving to death, will they still be able to help you?"

As Old Mrs. Chen spoke, her teeth were almost broken.

In the past few months, my daughter-in-law has made some money by selling braised food, but now the price of food has skyrocketed and it is unclear how long the famine will last. Every penny in the house is life-saving money for the family.

As a result, the old man went out and collected all the pigs in the village.

The other person cried poor to him, but he agreed out of pity. He couldn't come up with so much silver, and the whole village blocked his way and wouldn't let him leave. He had to take a letter and ask his eldest son to go with the silver to redeem the person.

This is not buying a pig!

This is simply kidnapping!

The old lady was angry at the butcher Chen for his bad intentions and also at the villagers.

For decades, their family has always paid the most fair prices for pigs, but in the end these people treated them like this!

Butcher Chen was scolded by his wife and could only listen with his head down.

This was indeed an inappropriate thing he did. When he was detained by the villagers, he realized that these people were not worth it...

But now that things have come to this——

"I'll go to my grandson's farm and help her with the work later."

Butcher Chen knew that the potatoes his granddaughter planted on the farm had a higher yield than rice.

A few days ago, my granddaughter brought two sacks to our house, saying that they were grown in her hometown village and wanted them to try some.

The taste is delicate and even filling.

At a time like this, it was a blessing for the granddaughter to have such precious food in her hands, but it was also very dangerous.

Only then did Old Lady Chen look him straight in the eye and said, "Since you've said it, then keep your word."

Seeing that his wife was finally willing to talk to him, Chen the Butcher patted his chest and promised:

"Of course, I keep my word! I will work for my grandson for the rest of his life!"

With Chen's mediation, the two elders finally reconciled.

But the old lady still had some concerns about Chen's proposal to take their entire family to the farm.

"How can we all go? Besides, aren't Young Master Xiao and his men also at the manor?"

Chen then repeated her daughter's words to the old lady and Chen the butcher, and concluded by saying:

"Anyway, this is the mission your granddaughter gave to my husband and me. If we can't pick you up, we don't have to go back."

Old Mrs. Chen was thinking about what her granddaughter had said when she heard her daughter's teasing words. She slapped her in annoyance.

"You're already an adult, yet you're still playing tricks on me, your wife!"

"My dear grandson knows how to act properly. Since she said so, we naturally listened to her. I just don't know how long she'll be gone, and what about these things at home..."

Zhou Lingling also told Chen about this.

"Mom, Lingling said that our family must go. As for the things at home, the food and daily necessities are all there. Just pick out the important things and take them with you."

"Especially food, it's better to hide it at home than to take it with you on the road!"

This was Zhou Lingling's specific instruction, and Chen also emphasized it to the two elders.

As soon as Mrs. Chen heard it, she understood that this was because they were afraid that someone would rob them on the road.

Although the old lady didn't go out, she knew that there were a lot more outsiders in the town these days.

"But there are so many of us...why not sneak the food away at night?"

There are still about 200 kilograms of food at home. If we save a little, the family can eat for several months.

Chen shook her head and said, "Mother, we're leaving this afternoon. Please hide the food. Lingling said she has a way to get it."

"I still have to go to the store to ask Daqin and his wife to go back to the village. The store will be closed soon. Please wait for your brother and sister-in-law to come back and pack your things quickly. Come with us this afternoon..."
