"Okay, we have enough food at home for now, so there's no need to buy more. It's inconvenient to go on the road if we have more, and we might get robbed. Next, let's dig up as many wild vegetables as possible, dry them, and then pick the vegetables in the garden!"

Mrs. Lin gently stroked the silver, feeling reluctant to part with it, but she knew that she could earn more money, and the most important thing was that her family was safe and sound.

"Okay, grandma, let's pull out the vegetables in the field these days and dry some of them for later consumption," Li Yan's mother agreed with a smile.

Wang Furong looked at her parents-in-law, then at Mrs. Lin, and said, "We still have two old hens and a rooster at home. Should we kill them and dry them now?"

Mrs. Lin looked at Old Man Lin and said, "Kill them and dry them! Take the pork belly Qingxue bought and rub it with salt to make bacon, stir-fry the pig's offal, and make soup with the bones!"

"Okay, I'll add more water and potatoes later," Liu Jiali smiled. The family only had meat in the past few days. In the past, it took a long time to eat meat, and the children only ate eggs every two days.

"You three sisters-in-law just need to discuss and do these things. I, an old woman, believe that you can take care of the kitchen affairs. Qingming mother, take the children to pack the luggage and put the winter bedding and clothes in the boxes so that we can set off at any time," said Mrs. Lin, looking at Aunt Lin.

"Okay, Mom, I will take Xiaoyi and the others to pack their luggage in the next few days," Aunt Lin agreed directly. The men were responsible for fetching water, and the women naturally had to take care of the household and luggage.

Old Man Lin looked at Uncle Lin, then at his grandsons, and said, "Qingming Dad, take Qingming and the other brothers to take inventory of the things in the house. Put away the important things first, and then go to the city to buy anything we need. No one knows what the future holds, so we must be fully prepared before we escape the famine."

"Yes, Dad/Grandpa," after hearing what Old Man Lin said, Uncle Lin and the Lin Qingming brothers responded in unison. They had a large family with old and young people, so they really couldn't be careless. If they were not careful, the whole family would be destroyed.

"We've almost finished shopping. If we really need to buy something, we need to consider whether it's absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if there are too many things, the donkey cart won't be able to pull them. Don't forget, the donkey cart not only has to carry the things, but also us!"

Lin Qingxue looked at Uncle Lin and the others and said seriously, don't let them end up having to walk because the donkey cart is carrying too many things. That would be counterproductive. Their original intention of buying the donkey cart was to avoid walking.

"Qingxue is right. Don't buy everything," Mrs. Lin looked at her son, daughter-in-law, grandson and grandson's wife, and said, "When are you going to notify the family of Yan Niang and her three sisters-in-law about this?"

After hearing what Mrs. Lin said, Li Yanniang and the other two looked at each other. Although they had connections with their natal families, the relationship was not very close. It was just a face-saving relationship, so the first thing they thought about was their husbands, children and in-laws.

Li Yan's mother's stepmother was the head of the family. Her biological mother only gave birth to her. Because of the difficult labor, she was in poor health and died soon after. Her father also married a stepmother. It's not to say how bad she was to her, but she was not much better either. She just ignored her existence at home.

In addition, when Li Yanniang got married, her stepmother withheld her betrothal gift and only brought her two sets of clothes. When she returned home, Li Yanniang made a big fuss at her parents' home.

Things were very tense at that time, and they were forced to take out her betrothal money later, which led to Li Yanniang completely falling out with her natal family. She stayed in her husband's family wholeheartedly and didn't even inform her natal family when she gave birth. Her natal family never asked about her again, as if she didn't exist.

Wang Furong is considered to be the niece of Aunt Lin's clan. Although she is five generations away from the clan, she is also a descendant of an ancestor. Her family is very patriarchal, and the reason they gave her a nice name is because Wang Furong has been a beauty since she was a child.

Originally, he wanted to wait for her to grow up and let her go to the city to find a rich and powerful family to be a concubine, so that she could help her family. However, when Lin Qingbai was accompanying Aunt Lin to her parents' home to give gifts, she was met by Wang Furong, and they fell in love at first sight!

Later, in order to marry into the Lin family and become the main wife, Wang Furong fell out with her natal family. She went straight to the clan leader's house and said that she didn't want to go to the city to be someone's concubine. She completely lost face for her parents, and her natal family also said that they would no longer recognize her as their daughter.

But Wang Furong didn't care. The Lin family had a harmonious family tradition, and her parents-in-law were sensible and treated their daughters-in-law better than their sons. In addition, the children she gave birth to were smart and easy to take care of. Such a comfortable life was much better than being a concubine.

As for Liu Jiali, her parents died early, and only a brother and sister-in-law were left in her natal family. At that time, her sister-in-law wanted to marry her to her cousin from her natal family, but Liu Jiali was unwilling.

It's not that she despises the family because they are poor, but her sister-in-law's cousin's family has a bad tradition, the sisters-in-law are petty, and her parents are not lazy or cunning, so she naturally doesn't want to marry him.

In fact, Liu Jiali's sister-in-law treated her well. They did not abuse her or deprive her of money. They married her to her cousin from her natal family because of the filter she had since she was a child and she thought her natal family was good. But she forgot that she had been married to the Liu family for many years and how much her natal uncle's family had changed.

But when she finally figured it out, Liu Jiali had already fallen out with her parents' family. For the sake of face, Liu Jiali didn't want to embarrass her brother, so she rarely went back to her parents' home.

Mrs. Lin looked at her three granddaughters-in-law and, seeing they were silent, she advised, "No matter what, you still have to go back and tell them, lest you regret it for the rest of your life."

"Grandma, mother, I won't go back. My biological mother only gave birth to me, so there's no point in going back," Li Yan's mother shook her head. Since she married Lin Qingming, she knew that her future family would be her husband's family, and the most important ones were her husband and children.

"Yes! Sister-in-law is right. I won't go back either. I have severed ties with my parents' home a long time ago. We haven't been in contact for more than ten years. I won't go back this time and get scolded," Wang Furong said after Li Yanniang finished speaking. To her, there is no difference between having a parents' home and not having one.

"Then I'll let Xiaoyan go back and tell his uncle and aunt. It's up to them whether he wants to go with us or not," Liu Jiali looked at her husband and spoke when she saw him nod slightly.

"Okay, then you can take something for Xiaoyan to take over. After all, he is your elder, and it would not be good for him to go empty-handed," said Mrs. Lin with a smile.

"I understand, grandma," Liu Jiali nodded and said nothing more. It's too late today, let's go tomorrow!

"Just do it yourselves. Everyone should be prepared. Pack up the things you don't use often and be ready to leave at any time," said Old Man Lin, and everyone understood what he meant.
