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

Not long after, Aunt Lin put the dry food in a wooden basin on the donkey cart, and then put the rest of the things on the donkey cart. The group stretched their bodies and heard the sound of a gong.

This was another reminder for everyone to get ready quickly as they were about to set off. Upon hearing the gong sound, the brothers Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai boarded the donkey cart and prepared to drive.

Soon, the gong sounded for the second time, and not long after, the large army in front was seen setting off.

The three donkey carts of the Lin family started up soon. Lin Qingxue and her female relatives followed the donkey carts on foot. The sun slowly hung above everyone's heads, becoming hotter and hotter.

The disadvantages of traveling during the day soon became apparent. The scorching sun high in the sky scorched the earth, making the heat unbearable. Before long, everyone was sweating profusely and finding it unbearable.

The speed has gradually slowed down, and the consumption of drinking water has increased rapidly.

However, despite the difficulties, no one suggested changing the journey to night.

After all, compared with life safety, this little hardship and fatigue is nothing.

They would rather endure these hardships than save their own lives. They all gritted their teeth and persevered tenaciously.

Even the young children did not dare to complain or cry easily. They were really scared by the previous two experiences of being robbed by refugees.

By the time night fell, the group had only advanced forty miles. Exhausted, they could no longer hold on and had to stop and look for a suitable place to spend the night.

It’s not that they don’t want to find a place to settle down as soon as possible, but they have encountered countless refugees along the way, some of whom are alive and on the road, while others are lying on the ground, their life or death unknown.

Therefore, no one dared to stay anywhere and everyone wanted to find a better place to stay overnight.

It was not until dark that Village Chief Lin, who was walking in front, found a slightly suitable place. It was a dilapidated temple with people already inside. The people of Linjia Village could only spend the night a hundred meters away from the dilapidated temple.

After finding a place, without waiting for Village Chief Lin to speak, every household found a place to sleep and began to pack their luggage.

The Lin family found a place closer to the outside. Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai helped to spread the oilcloth and quilts, while Lin Xiaoshan and his brothers set up the stove and started a fire. Li Yan's mother, three sisters-in-law and Fang Xiaomei began to prepare dinner.

After Lin Qingming and the others spread the oilcloth and quilts, Lin Qingxue took the children to sit on the quilts to rest. The children were fine as they sat on the donkey cart, but the adults were not so lucky as they had to walk all day under the scorching sun.

After resting for a while, Lin Qingxue recovered a little. She got up and climbed onto the donkey cart, found two pieces of oilcloth from the "box", and took some needles, thread and scissors and placed them on the quilt.

"Brother, second brother, please help me chop one or two bamboos or sticks. They will be useful to me," Lin Qingxue shouted to Lin Qingming who was sitting next to her to rest while sitting on the quilt.

"Okay, Qingxue, how long do you want?" Lin Qingming asked without raising his head.

"It's best to cut it whole. I need to measure the exact length on the donkey cart. I plan to build a shed on the donkey cart and cover it with tarpaulin so it won't be exposed to the sun."

Lin Qingxue thought about it and decided that she had to demonstrate it on the spot to know the appropriate length. According to her, a length of about one and a half meters would be the most suitable.

"Okay, if there's any left, you can put a sunshade on the basket for me!"

Lin Qingming nodded in agreement. If this was useful, he would talk to the village chief about it. With this, they wouldn't be so exposed to the sun when traveling during the day.

"Okay," Lin Qingxue nodded. This was no big deal. She also wanted to get a sun blocker for those of them who were walking there!

Lin Qingming took Lin Qingbai and Lin Qingran to work, and Lin Qingxue took the Liu brothers' wives, Lin Qingyue and Aunt Lin to start cutting oilcloth and sewing.

About half an hour later, the three Lin Qingming brothers came over, each carrying a three-meter-long bamboo.

Lin Qingxue was just about to ask them to continue to prepare the bamboo according to her requirements when she heard Li Yanniang calling for dinner.

The Lin family's dinner was a bit rich and simple, consisting of bacon stewed with dried wild vegetables or potatoes. The children still had a boiled egg each, and the pregnant Liu Er's wife also had one.

The reason why the Liu family is very satisfied with their current life is simply that the Lin family is not discriminatory towards them.

Whether it is the two-year-old Liu Ziwen or the pregnant Liu Er's wife, they are treated the same as the children of the Lin family. This is also why the Liu family is grateful to the Lin family.

After dinner, Lin Qingxue continued to lead Lin Qingming and others to make the oilcloth tent. According to her instructions, the whole bamboo was cut into four parts, with lengths of 1.5 meters and 1.2 meters.

After a busy period of work, Lin Qingxue used relatively sturdy vines to fix the bamboo strips on the donkey cart, then spread the cut oilcloth on it, and fixed the four corners with short bamboo strips and vines. The oilcloth tent was ready.

Lin Qingxue shook the tarpaulin tent with a little force and found it was very sturdy, so she felt relieved.

Then, he used the same trick to make the oilcloth covers for the other two donkey carts.

When the Lin family finished their work, the other villagers in Linjia Village had already fallen asleep, leaving only Lin Qingxue and his siblings still working.

"Okay, Qingxue is still smart," Li Yanniang said after stretching and feeling a little sleepy.

"It's finally done. If it wasn't done better, I wouldn't be able to bear it anymore," Liu Jiali also said. It was the first time for them to do this and they lacked experience, so they wasted some time.

"Okay, everyone, go to bed! We have to get up early to make breakfast tomorrow," Fang Furong smiled, her eyelids almost unable to open.

"Sisters-in-law, you guys go to sleep first! Qingyue and I will clean up," Lin Qingxue knew that her sisters-in-law would not let her help with breakfast, so she urged them to go to rest and she would clean up the mess.

"Okay, let's go to bed first. You guys can sleep more tomorrow," Li Yanniang nodded and didn't bother to be polite with Lin Qingxue. She really couldn't hold on any longer.

Lin Qingxue nodded, and she and Lin Qingyue quickly folded the remaining oilcloth, and put away the bamboo strips, needles, thread, scissors and other items.

After finishing their work and washing their hands, they returned to their seats and lay down to rest. As soon as they lay down, they fell asleep quickly.

Apart from the sound of burning firewood, the only sound in the space was the patrol team walking around on patrol. Two patrol teams took turns coming every day, and they ate and lived in their own homes.

After dawn, Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law struggled to open their eyes and get ready to prepare breakfast, but were forced to sleep back down by Aunt Lin and Mrs. Lin who had woken up early.

In the end, they were still too sleepy and could not struggle to get over it. They were pinned down by Mrs. Lin and Aunt Lin, and the three of them soon fell back into a deep sleep.
