The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Chapter 360 This Child Looks Like Him

In the current situation, if the second or third son were here, they probably wouldn't care so much about their father who has long been useless.

After thinking for a while, he sighed and said:

“Alright, Boss!

Dad, it's okay. Let's just bear with this for now!

The situation is stronger than us right now, so even if we bow our heads temporarily, it doesn't matter!"

As he spoke, he looked towards the place where the earthenware jars were placed in the house and said distressedly:

"I promised to give them some fish, so I'll take one over here. Never mind, let's go with two!

By the way, go get that clay pot back. Without it, we can’t even cook!"

Boss Lu was obviously angry and complained:

“Dad, they beat you, and I still have to send them fish?

Then I, as a son, am afraid I am even worse than your grandson!"

Old Man Lu sighed and pointed at Da Zhuang and said:

"Are you not even as good as Dazhuang?

He is a little kid, but he knows how to show weakness at the right time.

Otherwise, during the time you were ill, the three of us would have starved to death!"

Boss Lu looked at Da Zhuang who was standing beside him with a worried look on his face, and then at his extremely sick old father, and finally he swallowed his anger.

Boss Lu picked out the two smallest fish from the pile and stood up to deliver the fish to Li Jinbao and the others.

When Da Zhuang saw this, he hurried to follow him. He was not very confident that his father could go alone.

Seeing that Boss Lu was very angry, Old Man Lu advised:

"Since you're already going to deliver the fish, don't offend them!

Otherwise, you two go out fishing, and I'm left alone at home as an old man, and I'm at the mercy of others!"

"Got it, Dad!"

Only then did Boss Lu lower his head in agreement.

When the two of them arrived at the main house, Li Jinbao and his son were already waiting inside.

When Old Man Li saw the two people coming, his expression was still as polite as before.

"My son-in-law is here! Come on, sit down!"

As he said this, he stood up and gave up his place next to the bedding.

Boss Lu tried to force a smile, but it was too stiff. He simply stopped pretending and said expressionlessly:

"I'll bring you a fish! Where's my clay pot?"

When Li Jinbao heard about the fish, he hurried forward to take it.

When he got the fish in his hand and saw the two small fish clearly, he said with disdain:

"Why is it so small? It's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!"

Seeing that Boss Lu was getting angry, Dazhuang said hurriedly:

"Uncle, none of the fish we caught were big, they were all like this!"

Li Jinbao was about to say something when he was interrupted by Old Man Li:

"Son-in-law, where did you catch this fish?

You know, there is no food at home now. If we continue to starve like this, no one in the family will survive!

Besides, things are not peaceful outside right now, so we can go together and keep each other company, what do you think?"

When Boss Lu heard that they wanted to go fishing with him, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But soon, he felt Dazhuang tugging at his trouser leg.

Seeing this, Boss Lu turned his head away and didn't want to talk anymore.

Seeing this, Da Zhuang had no choice but to step forward and said in a crisp voice:

"Grandpa, uncle, I searched for that river for a long time before I finally found it!

The river may not be wide, but it is long enough, and the fish and shrimp in it are enough for our two families to eat until spring!"

After saying this, Chenggong saw that Li Jinbao and his son's eyes lit up.

Seeing their interest, Dazhuang sighed and said:

“It’s just that we don’t have any food at home now.

My father and grandfather are both very weak and need some food to replenish their bodies.

You should return the food that my mother took away earlier!"

When Boss Lu heard that they were asked to return the food, his eyes lit up.

Yes, that stupid woman had secretly taken food out of the house before, and she stole a lot of it.

Now, if we can get the food back, it will be worth it even if we tell them where we caught the fish!

When Li Jinbao heard they were asking for food, he immediately cursed:

"You little bastard, you're so bold, you dare to..."

Before he could continue to curse, he heard Old Man Li shout:

"Jinbao, that's enough!"

Then he turned to Master Lu and said:

"Son-in-law, my family has no food to eat now, where can I find food for you?

Besides, you can't catch all the fish in the river by yourself, so why not take us with you?"

Dazhuang immediately said:

"Grandpa, you all know that my grandfather is very ill now!

Without food, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive for long!

Besides, my father is in very poor health.

If you refuse to provide us with food, I'm afraid our family won't survive for long.

When we are all gone, the exact location of the river will follow us to the underworld!"

After hearing this, Li Jinbao became furious and wanted to hit Dazhuang, cursing:

"You little bastard, you dare to threaten me? I'll beat you to hell first!"

When Li Jinbao was about to take action, Boss Lu took aim at the stick beside him and was ready to strike at any time.

Seeing this, Old Man Li interrupted loudly:

"Alright! I'll give it to you!"

Li Jinbao looked incredulous: "Dad, you're crazy!"

Old man Li ignored him and looked at Da Zhuang and said:

"But, you also know our current situation, I can only give you half a bowl!

After you take the food, you must tell us the location of the river!"

Da Zhuang nodded in agreement. When he took the food and left, Boss Lu was still a little bit incredulous.

I'm actually going to get food!

This is food. It’s been a long time since they last had proper food!

After returning to the house, Old Man Lu was also surprised when he saw the half bowl of food.

After finding out what happened, he looked at Dazhuang with eyes full of admiration.

This child is like him, very smart!

Then, he looked at Boss Lu who was just laughing foolishly beside him and stopped looking at him with disgust.

The boss looks so stupid, he must be an old woman!

The meal that day for the father and his two sons was unusually sumptuous.

In addition to making fish soup, they also added a handful of grains into the soup, so the three of them had a full meal.

Da Zhuang touched his full stomach and felt a rare sense of hope for the future.

Now, he can catch fish and find mouse holes, and can support himself.

When spring comes, he will definitely go south again to see if he can find the villagers and his sister!

Thinking of his sister, Dazhuang's heart tightened, and he didn't know how his sister was doing.

Soon, he persuaded himself again.

My sister is such a good person. She must be blessed by heaven and will definitely live a good life!

Da Zhuang suppressed the bad thoughts in his mind and tried hard to tell himself that his sister was still alive!

He still owes his sister food, but his sister promised him that she would wait for him to pay back the food!
