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

"Okay," Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law smiled and agreed after hearing this. Who doesn't crave meat these days?

But the Lin family's conditions were such that the only delicious food in the house was given to the children. As for the adults, they were naturally satisfied with having something to eat.

On the other side, Lin Qingxue carried a basket and brought Lin Qingyue down the mountain. The six hares weighed nearly 80 kilograms in total, and with the two pheasants, it was more than 100 kilograms, so the two sisters took turns carrying them down the mountain.

"Sister, I was frightened by your shouting. The place where we dig wild vegetables is at the junction of the deep mountains and the outer areas. I thought you were in danger and were scared, so I said that to you. I didn't mean to scold you."

On the way down the mountain, Lin Qingyue saw that her sister looked unhappy. She thought she was blaming Aunt Lin for her bad tone just now, so she wanted to explain for Aunt Lin.

"I know, Qingyue, you don't need to explain. Auntie has treated us brothers and sisters as her own children since we were young. How could I not know what kind of person Auntie is?"

Hearing Lin Qingyue's words, Lin Qingxue looked back at Lin Qingyue and whispered, then paused and said, "I'm not blaming you, Auntie. I'm just thinking about what to do next and when we will leave the village."

"Sister, are we really leaving?" Lin Qingyue couldn't help but ask after hearing Lin Qingxue's words. She had been in Linjia Village since she was born, and the farthest place she had been to was the city. She felt very panicked when she thought about leaving Linjia Village and going somewhere else.

"Are you going to stay and die? Qingyue, you don't understand the current situation. It hasn't rained for so long, and the crops in the fields can't be harvested. The food at home won't last long, and the price of food has been rising. Think about it, without water and food, how are we going to survive? There are mostly elderly, weak, women and children in our family, and we have so many children. If that situation really comes, will we still be able to survive?"

Lin Qingxue said with a bitter face that if possible, she would only divorce the man who lived with her children in her parents' home, and she did not want to take her two daughters to escape famine.

But she had no choice; if she didn't flee the famine, she would starve to death.

Although the chances of survival by escaping famine are not great, it is better than staying and waiting to die.

"Then what should we do? Sister, there are many people in our family. The children are still young, and grandparents are old. The two donkey carts at home are not enough. In addition to carrying everyone's luggage and food, grandparents and the children can't walk more than a few steps. They must also take a donkey cart."

Lin Qingyue looked worried. Why was it so difficult to live a good life these days?

The Lin family has been on a downward trend since Lin's father and mother passed away. The grandchildren's marriages and the birth of children, as well as Lin Qingmin's studies, are all huge expenses, and they have been unable to make ends meet in recent years.

"Qingyue, I plan to buy another donkey cart for our second wife, and leave the two donkey carts at home for the first wife! Grandpa and grandma are old and can only travel by donkey cart. Uncle and aunt can't walk a few steps. My eldest brother and second brother have many children, and everyone's luggage, food and wine have filled the two donkey carts."

After a pause, Lin Qingxue looked at Lin Qingyue and said seriously, "So after I bought the donkey cart, I can let the children from the second house ride on it. We can put the second house's luggage on the donkey cart, and it will also free up some space for the two donkey carts of the first house, so that the eldest and second sisters-in-law can take turns sitting on them and rest for a while."

"Sister, I can understand. Uncle and his family have helped our second branch a lot. Third brother, his wife and younger brother will also understand." After hearing what her sister said, Lin Qingyue naturally understood what she meant and knew what she wanted to express.

"I know. I just want to tell you about my plan. Our second branch doesn't have much money. All the money in the family is in our grandmother's hands. But apart from the three brothers marrying wives and having children, it's basically the younger brother's school expenses. The first branch doesn't owe our second branch anything."

Lin Qingxue was worried that her younger siblings would develop ulterior motives for the younger siblings from the second wife because of the selfless dedication of the first wife. She didn't want to see the originally harmonious family become like enemies in the end.

"Sister, I understand what you mean," Lin Qingyue nodded in response. Her sister had explained it so clearly, and she would be really stupid if she still didn't understand.

The two sisters walked home while chatting. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Lin Qingming's three brothers and Uncle Lin sitting in the yard to rest. When they saw them coming back, they hurriedly got up and went to take the basket.

"Uncle, there are six rabbits and two pheasants in the basket. We have taken away a rabbit hive. You should go and take care of it!"

After Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue took off the basket, they sat down on the chairs under the eaves to rest. The two sisters were exhausted after carrying such a heavy basket down the mountain.

"Okay, you've worked hard today, both of you sit down and take a rest!"

Hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Lin Qingming smiled. The two sisters were lucky. They basically gained something every time they went out, unlike them.

"Okay, let's go down the mountain. It's a bit tiring to carry all these, but everything else is fine. Auntie and the three sisters-in-law are still digging wild vegetables over there. Auntie asked us to go home and rest, and by the way, bring back the pheasants and rabbits for you to pack up."

Lin Qingyue sat next to them. Just after she sat down for a while, the eldest sister Lin Zishan brought two bowls of water over. The two sisters took them and drank them all in one gulp without any hesitation.

After drinking the water, the two sisters felt much better. Lin Qingxue rested for a while and felt much more energetic.

Knowing that they had to deal with pheasants and rabbits, Lin Zishan took his younger brothers to light a fire and boil water in the kitchen. After Lin Qingming took out the wild vegetables that covered the pheasants and rabbits, he sat down and rested for a while, and then prepared to deal with the pheasants and rabbits.

"Boss, we rarely eat meat at home, so let's save a rabbit and a pheasant for everyone to taste! The rest can be rubbed with salt and air-dried."

Mrs. Lin was sitting on a chair sewing shoe soles. They were about to flee the famine, and everyone's shoes would definitely be worn out when they walked. She had to take advantage of the time she had now to get some more shoes ready.

"Okay, grandma, I'll listen to you." Lin Qingming was also craving for meat. He knew that when he was on the road to escape the famine, he would definitely need to eat meat occasionally to replenish his energy, otherwise he would not be able to walk.

After sitting for a while, a pot of hot water was boiled in the kitchen, and Lin Qingming and his four younger brothers began to prepare the pheasants and rabbits.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I want to go to the mountains again in the next two days to look for wild yams. We can't buy too much food, otherwise it will be difficult to travel. But we need silver to buy food in the future, so I want to earn some money. Before we set off, I want to buy another donkey cart. We have a large family and a lot of luggage, plus food, so two donkey carts are still not enough."

Lin Qingxue sat on a chair and looked at Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin, and spoke seriously about her plan. There were many children in the family, and they could not walk a few steps, so they could only take a donkey cart. Moreover, both the luggage and food were very important and could not be left behind.
