My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin
Chapter 36: Taking in the Liu Family
Otherwise, Liu Jiayong would not have been injured like this, and Liu Dongzhi was even more frightened. Lin Qingran went over and killed the refugee who tried to force Liu Dongzhi, and then took the opportunity to stab to death those who were beating Liu Jiayong.
The remaining refugees were scared away by Lin Qingran's ruthlessness, and the rescued Liu family members followed Lin Qingran to the Lin family.
However, all the Liu family’s belongings were robbed by the refugees. They had nothing except the clothes on their backs. This was why Fang Xiaomei was so smug. Their family couldn’t stand up straight just eating for free at the Lin family.
"I don't like what you said, Sister Liu. We're all family, so what's the problem? You and Brother Liu raised my sister-in-law. She ate so much of your food, and now it's time for my brother and sister-in-law to honor you."
Lin Qingxue said with a smile, even though she is only a few years older than Liu Jiayong's children, she is of higher generation than them, and they have to call her aunt just like Lin Qingran's children!
After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Fang Xiaomei's smile relaxed a little, and even Liu Jiali breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that in the entire Lin family, her sister-in-law had more say than her husband. If she agreed to take in her family, no one else in the Lin family would have any objection.
"Yes! Sister-in-law, Qingxue is right, just relax, have a good rest after dinner, because we have to set off to escape the famine in the middle of the night," Liu Jiali patted Fang Xiaomei's shoulder and comforted her softly.
"Okay, little sister, this time it's all thanks to my brother-in-law who came over, otherwise our family would really be..." When she said this, Fang Xiaomei couldn't help crying. They had just escaped death, and now they couldn't suppress their emotions when they saw their loved ones.
"It's okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, we are here. Look at Donghu's wife's belly, she must be five or six months pregnant, right? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Liu Jiali gently patted Fang Xiaomei's back, looked at Liu Er's wife with a big belly and asked in a low voice, "The most difficult things these days are for pregnant women and newborn babies."
"Aunt, I'm more than five months pregnant," said Liu Er's wife with a bitter face. She gets hungry quickly during pregnancy and doesn't like to get tired. She doesn't know what to do next.
"It's okay. From now on, your aunt will give you an egg each and take good care of you. Don't worry, we elders will take care of you." Liu Jiali smiled and looked at her family members, silently comforting them.
"Okay, big brother's injury is not serious, it's just a superficial wound. I've applied medicine, so he just needs to rest well. Sister-in-law, don't worry."
After giving Liu Jiayong the medicine, Lin Qingran planned to go out and leave the space to their family.
"Dad Xiaoyan, go eat! We have to travel tonight."
Liu Jiali has always felt sorry for her man, not to mention that he carried her eldest brother from Liujia Village on his back this time, which made her feel even more sorry for him being tired.
"Okay, I'll go eat first. Sister-in-law, your grandfather should take a rest after eating!"
Lin Qingran nodded to Fang Xiaomei and the others, then went out to eat. They would be on the road soon, and if they didn't eat quickly, the journey would be even more difficult.
Lin Qingxue saw her third brother go out, so she followed him out to eat. They were not hungry, but she was.
After Lin Qingran and his sister left, Fang Xiaomei and the others didn't hesitate to pick up the pancakes and dishes in their bowls and started eating.
After everyone had eaten, they used the water brought by Lin Qingyue to wash the blood off their bodies, and lay down to rest with their clothes on.
Perhaps it was the comfort of her relatives and the safe environment that brought Liu Dongzhi back to her senses. Under Fang Xiaomei's pats, Liu Dongzhi burst into tears and cried for more than half an hour, shaking all over. She fell asleep only when she was tired of crying.
It was midnight when the Lin family heard the sound of a gong coming from the village chief's house. Everyone got up quickly and washed their faces with a basin of cold water.
After regaining some energy, Lin Qingming took Lin Qingbai and Lin Qingran to pull the three donkey carts from the backyard and parked them at the front gate.
Then, the Lin family members came out of the house one after another. Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin sat on the donkey cart. Lin Qingxue carried her two daughters on the donkey cart and went to the room of Lin Qingran and his wife.
After a few hours of rest, the Liu family's condition had almost recovered, except that Liu Jiayong was still a little weak, but it did not affect his walking.
"Sister-in-law Liu, let Liu's second wife ride on the donkey cart!" As soon as Lin Qingxue entered, she saw Liu Jiayong's two sons helping him walk out, and the others followed behind.
"Okay, thank you very much," Fang Xiaomei wanted to refuse, but seeing the look on her second daughter-in-law's face, she could only swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"It's okay," Lin Qingxue shook her head, went back to the room and took out three lanterns from the space. She lit the lanterns and hung them on the donkey cart.
"Is everyone here? It's time to set off," Old Man Lin, who was sitting on the donkey cart, shouted loudly after everyone had come out.
After hearing what Old Man Lin said, Li Yanniang and her two sisters-in-law began to count their own children. Fortunately, the children of the Lin family were all well educated.
"Master, everyone is here, we can go now," Lin Qingmin replied loudly after confirming that everyone was present. Aunt Lin locked the gate, and the family gathered around the donkey cart and walked towards the village entrance.
Halfway through the walk, the sound of the gong started again. Uncle Lin knew that it was Village Chief Lin beating the gong to remind everyone to hurry up.
Uncle Lin and his colleagues had said during the daytime meeting that the gong would be struck for the first time at midnight, and then again every quarter of an hour. After the third strike, they would set off, and those who did not arrive would be considered not going with them to escape the famine.
When Old Man Lin and his family arrived at the village entrance, at least two-thirds of the villagers had already arrived, and more people were coming behind them.
Soon, the gong sounded for the third time, and Village Chief Lin asked Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingxun to start counting the number of people to see who had not come yet.
While the two of them were counting the number of people, Lin Qingxue looked at all the villagers from Linjia Village who had fled the famine with them. Nearly half of them were traveling by donkey carts, with two more and one less, and the rest were traveling by flatbed carts. Only a few families with fewer people were carrying baskets on their backs.
Lin Qingxue couldn't care less about these people. Although she felt sorry for them, she knew even more clearly that she couldn't and shouldn't lend a helping hand to those people, otherwise it would definitely bring disaster upon her family.
Thinking of her two sweet friends, Lin Qingxue hardened her heart and stopped looking at those people. With the addition of the Liu family, three donkey carts seemed not enough.
Fortunately, the Liu family member was traveling alone and had no luggage, otherwise the donkey cart would have been too full for anyone to sit on and would have been filled with luggage.
