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

When Aunt Lin and Mrs. Lin woke up, they looked at their children with distressed faces. How tired must they have been last night that they couldn't get up this morning!

Aunt Lin and Mrs. Lin were used to doing housework, so they were no problem for the kitchen work. They cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge with swift hands and feet.

Then she made a large wooden basin full of pancakes and boiled a pot of boiled eggs for each child. The children were still young and if they didn't eat something nutritious, they would ruin their health in the future.

As soon as she put the cooked sweet potato porridge into a wooden basin, Aunt Lin turned off the fire and continued to make pancakes. The prepared basin was enough for breakfast, and now she had to prepare for lunch and for when she was hungry on the way.

Soon, Lin Qingxue and the others got up one after another, washed up and went to have breakfast.

"I see that many families in the village have little water left, so we have to save some water at home," Mrs. Lin suddenly said while everyone was eating.

Hearing her words, Lin Qingxue nodded thoughtfully and said, "I haven't come across any water along the way. Whether it's a stream or a river, they're all completely dry."

"Yes! I don't know when we can find water," Li Yanniang said with a worried look on her face. There are so many people in her family and they need water even more.

But the problem is that it’s not that they don’t have water, but that they can’t use it. Otherwise, other families will have no water, and they will still be using water recklessly, which will cause public outrage.

"We'll drink from the water bag from now on. There's not much water left in the water tank. Try to eat more flatbreads and other things instead of eating out of bowls."

Aunt Lin knew that there were secrets at home that couldn't be known by outsiders, so she tried her best to make her family keep a low profile.

"Okay, everyone, drink water away from other people," said Old Man Lin, glancing at the other people in the village. Many people were so thirsty because the water was getting less and less, so they only took small sips of water.

"Brother, fill two water bags with water and go to my uncle's house to see how much water they have."

Lin Qingxue sat next to them, eating and watching Old Man Lin and the others chatting. She spoke only when they had almost finished talking.

After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Old Man Lin looked up in the direction of Village Chief Lin's house and whispered, "Go! The eldest and second sons are on patrol, so they should also keep an eye on the other people in the village."

"I understand, sir," Lin Qingming nodded in agreement. He finished the pancake in his hand in a few bites, then took the empty water bag, filled it with water, and went to the home of Village Chief Lin.

"Everyone, eat quickly! Clean up quickly after you're done," Mrs. Lin said as she finished the pancake in her hand in two bites. The others nodded and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Especially Li Yanniang, her three sisters-in-law and Fang Xiaomei, they were unable to get up in the morning to make breakfast. The four of them felt very sorry. After breakfast, they started to pack up.

Lin Qingming took two water bags and went straight to the village chief Lin. He looked around to make sure no one in the village noticed them. He whispered, "Grandpa, do you have any water at home?"

"It's Qingming! What's wrong? Is there no water at home? I still have a little water. Go find your aunt and ask her to give you some water to take back and use," Village Chief Lin looked up at Lin Qingming and said in a low voice.

He thought his cousin's house had no water, so he asked Lin Qingming to come and borrow water from him. If someone else came to borrow water, he would definitely not agree, but since it was his cousin's family who came to borrow water, he had to lend it to him.

"No, I still have water at home. When the pond incident happened, my sister Qingxue secretly hid some water. The water at home can last for a while. I was worried that you were out of water, so I asked me to send you two water bags."

As Lin Qingming spoke, he handed over the two water bags in his hand. After the water bags were filled with water, they weighed one or two kilograms, which was enough for one person to drink for about three days.

Although there was only enough water in two water bags, it was a great boon to Village Chief Lin's family. Their water was only enough for the family for two days, so they had to use it sparingly.

It’s not that Lin Qingming doesn’t want to bring more, it’s mainly because so many villagers are watching!

If you take too much and others come to borrow from you, they all belong to the same ancestor. Will you lend them to them or not?

These days, emergency relief is more important than poverty relief. However, the Lin family cannot be lavish with water and food. It would be too eye-catching and would definitely attract looting from the refugees.

There are even several of their own people hiding among the refugees, so the Lin family can only hide their incompetence.

"Okay, I'll take the water bag. Go back and say hello and thank your grandparents for me."

Village chief Lin smiled and said that at this time the only person who could think of delivering water was his cousin, and it was good that other people did not come to borrow water from him, let alone deliver water to him.

"Okay, then I'll leave first. If there's no water at home, let Qingchu go home and tell them," Lin Qingming said and went to the patrol team.

Soon, they were on their way again. Compared with the villagers, the Lin family members walking at the back felt much more comfortable.

After the awning was completed, Old Man Lin and the others sitting on the donkey cart felt much more relaxed. Although the others were still exposed to the sun, seeing how successful the awning was, Lin Qingxue had another idea in his mind, which he just had to wait until night to realize.

When walking under the scorching sun, water is lost faster, and when traveling during the day, the need for water is even greater.

Even if the villagers use water sparingly, they will get thirsty quickly if they sweat more, and they have no choice but to drink water.

Fortunately, the Lin family had Lin Qingxue's treasure. Although everyone had enough water to drink, with the villagers as a comparison, the Lin family did not dare to drink water too recklessly.

Looking at the sun getting brighter and brighter, Lin Qingxue turned her head to look at the younger ones, Lin Xiaoyan, Lin Xiaoqin, and Lin Xiaohan, who were all sunburned and pale. The even younger ones, Lin Xiaokang and Lin Xiaohui, were already sitting on the donkey cart, while the three of them stubbornly followed the adults.

Lin Qingxue thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, Xiao Qin, the three of you go sit on the donkey cart. You've been walking for so long, it's enough."

After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Li Yanniang and the others turned to look at the children, a trace of heartache flashed in their eyes. They were their children, how could they not feel sorry for them!

"You three get on!" Uncle Lin looked back at his three grandsons and called Lin Xiaoshan, Lin Qingmin and Lin Xiaotao, who were sitting in the driver's seat of the donkey cart, to get off and walk.

The Lin family has always been united and listens to their elders, because that is the ethos of Linjia Village: respect the old and love the young, and maintain harmony and unity among neighbors.

After the younger ones got on the donkey cart, they stopped sunbathing and drank some water to cool down. Their complexion also recovered a lot.

As the sun set, Village Chief Lin, who was leading the way, had not yet found a suitable place to spend the night, so everyone had no choice but to continue moving forward.

Finally, before dark, everyone found a place suitable for spending the night, but there were already many refugees staying there.
