My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

After the milk tea shop opened successfully, Lin Qingxue's life returned to peace and leisure. At this time, the weather was gradually warming up, and the warm and bright sun could be seen hanging high in the sky every day.

However, despite the bright sunshine, there was no obvious sign of melting ice and snow. The mountains of ice stood there like solid buildings, as if showing people their tenacious existence.

During this period, the imperial court took frequent actions due to various problems in the disaster relief work, such as some officials embezzling disaster relief funds and food, and even worse, some unscrupulous grain merchants took the opportunity to raise prices and make a fortune from the national disaster. These bad behaviors were exposed.

To this end, the imperial court successively punished many people involved in the case in order to rectify the government and appease the public anger.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Qingxue was not as active as before in purchasing a farm, a shop, or even a yard.

The reason is simple, it's just that she is not the only one who wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit. Whether it is those shrewd businessmen or powerful families, they are all eyeing these profitable resources.

In such a fiercely competitive environment, Lin Qingxue knew that it would be difficult to compete, so she chose to wait and see for the time being.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was early May. Finally, the long-awaited signs of ice thawing began to appear. As the temperature rose day by day, the once indestructible ice began to melt.

In just less than a week, people took off their heavy and bulky cotton jackets and cloaks, happily put on light and flowing spring clothes, and fully enjoyed the comfort and pleasure brought by this pleasant season.

Before she knew it, spring had gone and early summer had quietly arrived. Lin Qingxue watched the change of seasons and began to think again.

She thought that since the milk tea shop was already on track, perhaps she could take advantage of this good time in early summer to expand some new business. She decided to add some refreshing summer desserts, such as fruit smoothies, mung bean soup, etc., on the basis of the milk tea shop.

However, it is not time for these to be put on the shelves yet. It is only early summer, and these cooling drinks will not be released until at least the hottest time of July and August.

As the weather gets hotter, the ice melts into water, and the weather becomes gloomy and sultry every day, as if it is going to rain.

That morning, Lin Qingxue had just packed ten cups of milk tea from the milk tea shop and was about to go home when there was a loud bang in the sky, followed by lightning and thunder.

In just a few minutes, the day turned as dark as night. Lin Qingxue frowned, and a bad premonition arose in her heart. It was probably going to rain heavily.

It's raining as soon as the ice melts. I guess natural disasters and man-made disasters are going to happen again. The land and rivers that have just warmed up are about to usher in heavy rain. I don't know how long the rain will last.

Lin Qingxue hurried home. The moment she stepped into the front hall, raindrops as big as beans began to fall, accompanied by lightning and thunder, as if God was angry.

After returning home, she stood under the eaves and looked at the pouring rain, her heart full of worry. She knew very well that if the rain continued, the people who had just experienced the famine would face new difficulties. Their houses might be washed away, and there would be landslides and other problems.

She thought about the business of the milk tea shop. With such bad weather, she was afraid that there would be no customers in the next few days. And the planned new summer products also seemed to have an uncertain future under the threat of this heavy rain. She sighed helplessly and could only take it one step at a time.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and deep puddles soon formed on the streets. The water flowed rapidly, and some simple sheds were directly washed away.

"Qingxue, it's a good thing you came back just in time. You didn't get wet in the rain, did you? Why is it raining so heavily suddenly?" Mrs. Lin looked at the dark sky outside with a worried look on her face. It had just thawed, but it started raining again. How are they going to survive?

"I don't know either. I just came out of the milk tea shop when it started thundering and lightning. I thought it was going to rain, so I rushed home. It started raining as soon as I entered the house."

Lin Qingxue shook her head, but in her heart she was glad that she was lucky. It didn't start raining halfway, but only when she got home, otherwise she would have been soaked.

"I don't know what the situation is like in the village. Fortunately, everyone's houses are newly built. But with the rain falling so heavily, when will the villagers be able to reclaim the land and plant crops?"

Old man Lin was also looking outside with worry. He was really worried about the villagers. His own family's situation was not so bad, but many people in the village had neither money nor food. They were just waiting to open up wasteland and plant crops. Before the harvest, they went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to survive this difficult time.

"The situation in the village should be okay, but everyone's probably running out of food. Qingxue, eldest brother, third brother, you brothers and sisters, let's work out how we can help the village get through this."

Uncle Lin turned around and looked at Lin Qingming and his two siblings. The second oldest, Lin Qingbai, had gone to the neighboring restaurant, the sixth oldest, Lin Qingmin, was studying at the college, and the seventh oldest, Lin Qingyue, didn't take care of things, so there was no point asking her.

After hearing what Uncle Lin said, Lin Qingming and his siblings looked at each other, and finally waved their hands to let the servants leave the front hall and stand guard in the corridor.

Lin Qingxue looked outside and confirmed that the servants had money in their pockets. She looked up at Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin and said seriously, "Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle and Auntie, it's unrealistic for us to send either food or silver. It's not a question of whether people will pay it back or not, but it will easily lead to a bad relationship between us and the villagers."

After a pause, Lin Qingxue looked at Lin Qingming and said, "Let Big Brother buy a portion of the barren hill in the village in his own name and fence it off. Then, whether it's fruit trees or chickens and ducks, they can all be used by the shop. We can then hire the villagers to work for us and pay them with food. What do you think?"

Lin Qingming thought seriously about Lin Qingxue's words. Although his family had five farms, these farms belonged to everyone, not just him.

Lin Qingming has a deep understanding of himself. He is not cut out for studying or doing business. The only thing he knows is farming, and the fields are very important to him.

Before buying the farm, Lin Qingming had thought about returning to the village to open up some land for farming. After all, he had those boxes of gold, silver and treasures, so he would never have to worry about food and clothing in his life.

"I think it's feasible. Whether it's borrowing food or borrowing silver, it's not feasible in the long run. Exchanging labor for food is the most appropriate," Lin Qingming looked at Lin Qingxue with bright eyes, his tone full of recognition and admiration for her.

When the others saw that Lin Qingming agreed, they naturally had no objections. Doing this was also to help the villagers, so everyone was naturally willing to do so.
