In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Chapter 51: The Southward Migration! Panicked Wang Miaomiao

This shout was deafening!

Wang Dahe opened his mouth but remained silent for a long time.

Finally, under everyone's anxious gaze, he finally uttered two words:

"No."

"It's impossible to fight with the barbarians in the wild!" Wang Qingshan stood aside, his voice trembling with excitement.

Although he had never fought with those barbarians in the field, he had confronted them head-on on the city wall!

The terrifying impression the barbarians left on him is still fresh in his mind!

From Wang Shen's questioning, it can be analyzed that more than half of the barbarians are wearing armor, so the border troops have no chance of winning in the field battle!

Even if it's one hundred thousand versus ten thousand, it's still a hanging fruit!

What's more, the border troops do not have that many troops.

After a long silence, an old man in his fifties slowly spoke:

"So, the migration south is inevitable?"

Village chief Wang Dakuo looked at him, then looked at the old men in the room, and felt sorry for them: if they really moved south, the old men here might find a place to rest in peace for the sake of their descendants.

"Two options: some move south, some stay behind." Wang Dakuo seemed to have made some kind of decision, and his voice became hesitant and trembling.

"After 214 years, our Wangjia Village has been divided again!"

"Those who rebelled against the Wang Shen family, whom we trusted, are preparing to seize the land and move south!"

"Those who are nostalgic for their homeland can stay here. If the barbarians attack, they can take shelter in the mountains!"

When Wang Dakuo's voice fell, you could hear a pin drop in the huge room!

Split the family tree!

This is the first time this has happened since the establishment of the Daliang Dynasty.

214 years ago, the ancestors of Wangjia Village migrated from south to north and planted a large locust tree in the south of the village, which has now grown into a towering ancient tree.

"Tell the results to the people in the clan." An old man holding his back said:

"I'm useless now. During this migration, I'll stay in the village and help you guard the ancestral tablets."

"Uncle Quan! You..." Wang Dakuo looked at the hunchbacked old man and opened his mouth to persuade him, but was interrupted by the old man raising his hand.

"Hey! Stop talking, I've made up my mind!" Wang Quan said, and then asked Wang Dakuo:

"It's big."

"Uncle Quan...you say." Wang Dakuo's voice was choked.

"You've been the village chief for eleven years, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Quan, it has been more than eleven years since you gave up your throne to me." Wang Dakuo nodded.

"I never thought such a disaster would happen so quickly. The drought has dried up the water sources." Wang Quan laughed out loud as he spoke. After the laughter stopped, he turned his head to Wang Shenshi:

"During the village's migration, I would like to trouble you, Wang Shen, to take care of it."

"I can see that you have a strong sense of belonging to your clan."

"If there are any grievances along the way, all the elders present in the clan must support Wang Shen and not let the meritorious officials feel disheartened!"

These words touched Shen Qian's heart.

I have been reborn and have done so many things, and I have dragged my clan members along with me.

Isn’t it just to have more say when fleeing famine?

Only with the protection of your tribe can you avoid tragedies that may affect your own destiny!

"Hey! Uncle Quan." Wang Shen responded, her tone revealing her true feelings!

"We will definitely not let the Wang Shen family suffer any injustice during the migration!" Wang Dakuo stated seriously:

"If I have a bite to eat, I will definitely let Wang Shen live!"

Organize your emotions.

Wang Dakuo walked out of the hut with a group of elders.

A heavy atmosphere instantly filled the air.

As Wang Dakuo announced the tribe's decision, the puzzled tribe members suddenly burst into exclamations:

"The whole clan migrated south?"

"You're crazy! Where would we get land in the South? Are we going to be tenant farmers?"

"Although there's a drought this year, we can still survive! With the food we bought earlier, we can just hold on and wait for the imperial court to provide disaster relief! Why bother moving south?"

"Village Chief, land prices are low these days, so moving south isn't a wise move!"

"..."

Listening to the crowd's excitement.

Only after Wang Quan took the initiative to stand up did the situation gradually quiet down.

After Wang Quan walked in front of Wang Dakuo and took his place and spoke, the villagers who opposed him finally calmed down:

"Please carefully consider the matter of moving south."

"If anyone doesn't want to leave, you can keep me, an old man, company."

"Those who are reluctant to sell their land can leave behind a male member of their family. For those who have extra money to buy land and don't plan to leave, the village land will be sold to you first at the current market price."

"After three days, those who don't want to move south will tell me. After ten days, we will rush to collect the crops. After fifteen days, we will move south!"

As the clansmen near the ancestral temple dispersed.

Only then did Shen Qian drag her tired body back home.

Lying in bed.

Sleep peacefully!

On the second day, Shen Qian was actually awakened by the aroma of food!

"Breakfast...Xiao Qi has also become bad?" Shen Qian frowned slightly, got up from the bed and murmured softly.

Walk out of the kitchen.

Shen Qian immediately saw Wang Wu and others coming out of the room.

The moment Wang Wu and Shen Qian's eyes met, he lowered his head in disappointment.

"Is Xiaoqi in the kitchen?" Shen Qian asked Wang Wu.

Facing his mother's question, Wang Wu shook his head repeatedly:

"No...no."

"It's my second sister."

"Wang Miaomiao?" Shen Qian chuckled and ran straight to the kitchen!

When she saw Wang Miaomiao busy frying, she uttered sarcastic words:

"Yo?"

"Don't you want to cook?"

"You got up so early, are you going to apologize to us and hand over the money you embezzled?"

Wang Shen's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for several people in the courtyard to hear clearly.

Wang Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Wang Shenshi and ignored her.

Continue to stir-fry.

Then pour the corn rice directly into the pot.

Out of the pot!

Only then did Shen Qian see clearly that she had only cooked for one person?

Wang Miaomiao walked out of the kitchen carrying a small basin.

When his body passed by Shen Qian, he just snorted coldly.

From beginning to end, he never responded to Shen Qian's ridicule!

Looking at Wang Miaomiao sitting at the table eating breakfast.

Wang Tianci immediately exploded:

"Wang Miaomiao!"

"Not only did you embezzle the family's money, but you also had the nerve to eat extra meals for yourself with such a clear conscience!"

Wang You and Wang Liang were also very angry.

Just make your own breakfast?

Why didn’t I realize before that my second sister is even more selfish than them!

Facing the angry glares of the crowd, Wang Miaomiao continued to do as she pleased.

He finished his breakfast without paying any attention to anyone.

And that’s not all. After she finished her meal, she didn’t wash the pots and left the basins on the table.

Wang Tianci looked at his second sister's actions and stood outside her door, cursing:

"Wang Miaomiao!"

"It's not enough that you cook your own meals, but you don't even wash the pots and dishes. You deserve to be looked down upon by Lin Jia Sanlang!"

"If you can't do farm work, you'll just be daydreaming all day long!"

After a long period of cursing, only the sound of something heavy falling was heard in the room.

After venting the frustration that had accumulated in his heart yesterday, Wang Tianci suddenly felt relieved.

Wang Wu, Wang You and Wang Liang were frightened by Wang Tianci's sudden outburst.

How dare he insult my second sister like that!

At the door, Xiaoqi came back from collecting fodder on the mountain, his little face flushed.

"Mom!" Xiao Qi called out, carrying fodder and about to walk towards the pigpen behind the house.

Then Shen Qian's voice rang in their ears:

"As brothers, don't you know how to answer it?"

"I'll do it!" When Wang Wu heard his mother speak, he immediately ran to Xiaoqi and took the fodder.

Then Shen Qian said again:

"Xiao Qi, go make breakfast."

"Eat well these days."

"After the harvest is over, the whole family will move south!"

As soon as the words fell, the door that had just been closed was suddenly opened.

Wang Miaomiao stood at the door, looking at Shen Qian in disbelief.
