My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin
Chapter 42 A Feast of Brotherly Love
But whenever there is something delicious at home, he will send a small portion to his home, saying that it is for the children to taste, but everyone in the family knows that this is his cousin's way of subsidizing his family.
Old man Lin didn't know about the conversation between Village Chief Lin and his son, and even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything.
When he returned to his place, Old Man Lin saw Mrs. Lin boiling water to blanch the rabbits, so he strode over to light the fire for his wife.
After the old couple worked together to blanch the rabbit, they put the rabbit meat in a wooden basin and placed it on the donkey cart. They cleaned the pot and saw Lin Qingran coming over with the processed pheasant.
Mrs. Lin chopped the pheasant into pieces with swift hands, then took out the large clay pot at home, cleaned it, threw the pheasant meat into the pot, added water and ginger slices, and rummaged through the basket on the donkey cart, took out the smallest ginseng, threw it into the pot and stewed it with the pheasant. After boiling over high heat, she turned to low heat and simmered it slowly.
"Third brother, it's still early, you should go to sleep! Otherwise, you won't have the energy to catch the bus at night."
Mrs. Lin felt reluctant to see Lin Qingran, who was already exhausted, stay and help them.
"Okay, grandpa and grandma, I'll go to sleep first. Just call me if you need anything," Lin Qingran nodded. After saying that, he didn't force himself to stay awake. He walked to the empty space between Liu Jiali and Lin Xiaoyan, lay down, and fell asleep in seconds, snoring loudly.
"Old man, I don't think we can keep going like this! The Liu family and our family can travel together. We have enough food, but walking like this every day will eventually wear us out. We have to find a way to buy a donkey cart."
Mrs. Lin heard the snoring of her grandchildren, which was as loud as the beating of drums. She could tell at a glance that they were tired. It had never been so loud before when they were working in the fields.
"We need to buy another donkey cart. I see that the two nephews of the third son's wife are a few years older than the fourth son. Once we buy the donkey cart, we can teach them a lesson. Then the donkey cart will be given to the Liu family and counted as part of the second branch. Is that okay with you?"
Old man Lin thought about it and realized that the three donkey carts in the family were all bought with the money from the grandfather. It would be difficult to divide the family property between the first and second wives when the time comes. It would be better to buy another one, so that the first and second wives will each have two.
"Okay, let's talk to Qingxue when she wakes up," Old Man Lin nodded. He had to talk to his granddaughter about this.
"Of course we have to tell Qingxue about this. All our money is with her," Mrs. Lin said as if it was a matter of course. Family members know their own affairs, and the family can be what it is today thanks to Qingxue.
While the old couple was chatting and laughing, they distributed the dry noodles they had made in the afternoon. After the chicken soup was simmered, the pheasant eggs were thrown into the fire to roast.
When the Lin family woke up, they smelled the aroma of pheasant soup and their mouths began to water unconsciously.
After the family's sleepiness faded away, everyone took turns washing up. Lin Xiaoshan took the initiative to take his brother to set up the table and put the dishes on the table. As soon as the chicken soup was served, the braised rabbit meat was also served. Only the last stir-fried wild vegetables were left.
The staple food was flatbread. Because the weather was hot and the water was used up quickly, Mrs. Lin didn't make steamed buns. In addition to flatbread, she also made a dozen roasted sweet potatoes.
"This chicken soup and rabbit meat were brought by the third brother and Qingxue. I thought we've all lost weight these past few days, so I added more water. Everyone can have a bowl of soup and two pieces of chicken. The same goes for the rabbit meat. Each person can have two pieces to try. You can have a few more flatbreads."
As Mrs. Lin spoke, she served soup to everyone. Because there were so many children, she didn't keep any chicken legs and chopped them all up. Each person had two or three pieces of chicken and a bowl of soup.
"Don't mind me, these days some food can't be kept, so we thought we'd just cook it and eat it, so no one loses out."
Old man Lin said this with a hint of meaning. After experiencing the robbery last night, everyone quickly understood what he meant.
After hearing what Old Man Lin said, the Liu family members shook their heads and said that their life was already very good. They had nothing, and it was very good that the Lin family could take them in. How could they dare to ask for anything else?
Smelling the fragrance of the Lin family's chicken soup, other people in Linjia Village also got up one after another. Although everyone was greedy, no one went to ask for it because everyone still had some dignity.
The Lin family finished eating quickly. When they finished, other people in the village were still eating. Aunt Lin asked Lin Xiaoshan and the other children to clean up the dishes, and asked the four brothers Lin Qingran and Lin Qingming to pack their luggage. She took Li Yanniang and other female relatives to continue making pancakes.
After the pancakes were made, the other villagers had finished their lunch and dinner and were slowly packing their luggage.
Soon, the first gong sounded. The Lin family had already packed up their things and were ready to set off at any time. Those who were supposed to ride the donkey cart also got on.
Lin Qingxue walked beside the donkey cart and looked at the refugees passing by. She was shocked. Before, the refugees at least had light in their eyes and had aspirations for their future life. Most of them had families with them.
But the refugees we meet now are mostly men, women, children and the elderly. I have hardly seen them. I think those people have been abandoned. This is really a moment that tests human nature.
Although she felt very reluctant, Lin Qingxue also knew that now was not the time to be soft-hearted. Her family would not allow her to be soft-hearted.
As they walked, it got dark. Lin Qingxue was worried that refugees would come up to rob them again. Just as she was about to remind everyone, she heard a loud noise coming from the front. It turned out that some refugees had already come to rob the door.
At the front of the large army, Village Chief Lin sat on his own ox cart, looking sharply at the refugees who were watching him eagerly. He gave Lin Qingchu a look, and then he gestured to the back, and saw that the two patrol teams of Linjia Village had already taken action.
The brothers Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingxun each led a patrol team on both sides of the team. Each patrol member held a weapon in his hand, either an axe or an axe from home, and each one was very cautious.
Seeing the team from Linjia Village, many refugees who wanted to rush up to rob them couldn't help but feel timid and gave up the idea.
But there are also refugees who are really not afraid of death and want to give it a try. Of course, these refugees are organized into teams.
As soon as the refugees exchanged glances, they rushed forward with their weapons in hand, shouting, "Brothers, charge! These people are carrying so much stuff, they must have a lot of food. If we rob them of their food, we won't have to starve."
Hearing the shouts of these refugees, those refugees who had given up the idea of robbing could not help but think of taking advantage of the situation, and mixed in the crowd and rushed towards the villagers of Linjia Village.
Seeing that the refugees were about to rush over, the advancing team was forced to stop.
