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

"what money?"

"I haven't heard of it!" At this time, Wang You still refused to admit that he sold water for money and pretended to leave.

But Xiao Qi's threatening and sinister words came from behind him, causing his back to freeze as he turned around!

"Since Fifth Brother doesn't admit it, then go and talk to Mother yourself."

"After all... Mother asked me to come to Fifth Brother to ask for money, hoping that Fifth Brother would just tell the truth and let this matter go."

The words fell.

Without waiting for Wang You to react.

Xiao Qi turned around first and walked towards his mother Shen Qian.

Wang You was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

Subconsciously, he took a few steps forward.

He grabbed Xiao Qi's sleeve and said nervously:

"Mother really doesn't intend to pursue the matter?"

"Then what's the use of me having money?" Xiao Qi asked back, snorting coldly:

"Forget it if you don't believe it."

"Talk to your mother yourself."

She watched as Xiao Qi tried to shake off her hand that was holding her sleeve again.

Wang You quickly took out one tael and five cents of silver from his personal belongings!

With a painful expression on his face, he handed over the one tael and five cents of silver in his hand.

"Here, this is the money I got from selling water!" Wang You said with his eyes closed.

But Xiaoqi did not leave after taking the money.

Instead, he still looked at Wang You with those big eyes, blinking.

Wang You secretly opened one eye and found that Xiao Qi had not left yet, and he was confused.

Then Xiao Qi opened his mouth and said:

"what about others?"

"Where is there anything else? This is all I sell for water." Wang You felt a pang in his heart when he heard Xiao Qi's question, but he still hurriedly defended himself.

"Then I will tell mother that fifth brother has to hand over the remaining money to mother himself!" Xiao Qi said, turned around and left again, without any intention of pretending.

Watching Xiaoqi take two steps, Wang You became anxious.

Catching up again, he gritted his teeth and took out another coin from his pocket, saying through gritted teeth:

“It’s really gone this time!”

"I didn't ask!" Seeing that the fifth brother was so anxious, Xiao Qi felt secretly happy: It makes you want to sell Niu Niu and Hua Hua!

"Fifth brother is so anxious to explain, I wonder if he has something to hide?" Xiao Qi rolled his eyes and changed the subject:

"I think Fifth Brother should just take out all of them!"

"This, this, this..." Wang You said, completely convinced by Xiao Qi.

What does this little girl look like? She is so good at lying!

Wang You reluctantly took out the last change on him and gave it to Xiao Qi. After Xiao Qi took the change, he stopped pestering him.

Walk towards mother.

Looking at Xiao Qi's back as he left without coming to search him, Wang You was filled with hatred!

If I had known it earlier, I would have let myself go after three times and just paid five cents the first time!

This way, at least one or two taels can be left in your hand.

Returning to the fishing net, Wang You stood it up again in a listless manner.

Seeing this, Wang Liang hurriedly asked:

"Fifth brother, our money..."

"No more..." Wang You said dejectedly:

“It’s all been drained!”

"This is even worse than eating buns before. There's not a penny left for us!"

Wang Liang's heart died as he listened to Wang You's frustrated cries!

Several taels of silver!

Once they get to the south, they can live freely for a long time!

I could even visit the brothel I had heard of...but now, my fantasy is shattered!

The two men stood there holding the upright fishing net, like two walking corpses.

As everyone in the village bought water, Shen Qian's six large buckets were all filled.

The huge team sets off again!

Chief Steward Liang led a group of cavalrymen and waited until everyone reached the front before catching up at the end.

Wang You and Wang Liang wanted to die at this moment, and kept complaining:

"Not only was our money confiscated, but we were also made to stand there for four hours!"

"Four hours!"

"We won't have to travel for another day, right? This is too cruel! We can't hold on at all..." Wang Liang said breathlessly, staggering and looking like he was about to fall at any moment.

The elderly, weak, women and children who had previously occupied another ox cart of Shen Qian's family all got off the cart.

Walked up to Shen Qian and thanked her:

"Ms. Wang Shen, you've been busy all night. Go take a rest on the oxcart!"

"We've been riding on ox carts all the way, it's time to go!"

"Don't take a break these two days, don't refuse. If you're exhausted, we'll feel so guilty!"

"..."

It’s hard to refuse such hospitality.

Shen Qian was pushed and shoved by the crowd and got on the ox cart to rest.

Wang You and Wang Liang, who were not far away, were heartbroken when they saw this!

They had also worked hard all night.

Why didn’t anyone come to persuade them to get on the ox cart and rest?

They only sold some water at a high price, but the money didn't end up in their hands! Did they really deserve to die?

The resentment in their hearts reached its peak, causing the two men to hold on to the edge of the waterwheel even tighter.

But it's solid wood!

The sudden force made both of them feel pain in their hands.

After being released, his face showed a look of complete despair.

"Wang Mang, Ji Zu, you also come to the car to rest!" Shen Qian's voice came out, inviting Wang Mang and Wang Ji Zu.

Seeing this, the two of them shook their heads shyly:

"No need, Auntie, we also have an oxcart at home, we can just go back to our oxcart and rest!"

After saying that, the two of them trotted towards their own ox cart.

On the other hand, Wang Tianci sat on the ox cart with a look of resentment on his face:

"Mom!"

"Why don't you ask me?"

"Could it be that we are not our mother's sons?"

"You guys?" Shen Qian looked at Wang Tianci as if he was an idiot when she heard his question, and said as a matter of course:

"You guys are tired, so why don't you come up to rest? Do you still need your mother to invite you?"

After these words were spoken, Wang Tianci was speechless.

Wang You and Wang Liang were even more furious after seeing Wang Tianci sitting on the ox cart.

He was just about to go to the ox cart and scold and question him.

I heard what my mother said.

I was so angry! I almost fainted! So... they were stupid and didn't know to get in the car and rest!

In just a short moment, seven people were sitting on the ox cart and sleeping with their eyes closed!

Only the old man Wang Qingliu was walking below.

Looking at his mother, younger brothers, sisters and sisters-in-law who were already asleep, Wang Qingliu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was as if I had been excluded from this family!

......

Wait for Shen Qian to open her eyes again.

Everyone finally came out of the fog!

As soon as the sun shines, I immediately feel damp and sticky!

Especially since everyone had been in the salty mist for two days, large pieces of crystals would fall off the exposed skin with a slight pull!

But this crystal, along with some fragile and shriveled skin, fell off.

The exposed parts of my body felt burning and painful when I walked in the sun.

"Clap clap clap!"

Shen Qian raised her head and looked forward.

I saw a middle-aged woman in her thirties slapping her red face.

You can see that her face is a little swollen!

"Qingmei, what are you doing?" Shen Qian called out to the woman and asked.

Li Qingmei turned around and saw that it was Sister-in-law Shen Qian, and immediately replied:

"I don't know why, but ever since I swatted that white thing off my face, the itchy feeling has turned into this burning pain."

"But this hurts, I just tap it gently and it stops hurting!"

"really weird."

As she spoke, her voice was somewhat blocked due to the swelling on her face!

But she herself didn't realize...
