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

"Madam, young man, what kind of cloth do you want to buy? Do you need me to introduce it to you?"

As soon as the brother and sister entered, the fabric shop waiter came to greet them. There were not many people in the shop at that time, so the waiter was particularly enthusiastic.

"Little Brother, we are farmers. Just buy us some coarse cloth that is durable and resistant to dirt and wear, and some cotton cloth for inner clothing. But we have a large family, thirty people. How much cloth do we need to make two sets of clothes for each person?"

Before coming, Lin Qingxue had already thought about what kind of cloth she wanted to buy, so she naturally told the waiter in the fabric store directly. Anyway, she just had to pay the money.

"Are you all adults or children? If it's adults, one set of clothes would take about six to six feet. For children, it's not necessarily the same. But if there are so many of you and each of you wants to make two sets of clothes, you'll need at least eight to ten pieces of coarse cloth and cotton."

The waiter in the fabric shop spoke gently. He was not sure whether these thirty-something people were adults or children, or how tall they were, but if he calculated based on the two people in front of him, it would be the number she mentioned.

"Okay, then give me ten pieces of coarse cloth and cotton cloth each! Do you have any extra cloth? Can you give it to us?" Lin Qingxue nodded in agreement, and it was okay to buy more.

"It can be given as a gift, please wait a moment, ma'am." Seeing that Lin Qingxue really wanted to buy so much, the waiter in the fabric shop naturally went to prepare it with a smile on his face. It was just scraps of cloth, and he would give as many as he could get.

In about a cup of tea, the waiter in the fabric shop moved the ten pieces of coarse cloth and ten pieces of cotton cloth that Lin Qingxue wanted to the ox cart outside the shop.

Because there were so many scraps of cloth, they filled three whole sacks and were placed together with the cloth. These scraps of cloth were given as gifts.

After paying the silver, Lin Qingxue and his two siblings drove the ox cart away from the fabric shop. They still had to buy other things!

"Qingxue, you only have two pigs weighing about 100 pounds. Should we buy a few piglets to raise?" Lin Qingming sat in the front driving the ox cart, and Lin Qingxue sat behind him.

"Of course you can buy them. I also want to buy some fish and shrimp and raise them in the water. What do you think?" Lin Qingxue asked in a low voice. There was a stream in her space where she could raise fish and shrimp.

"Okay, just buy whatever you think is right. All the money in the family is with you anyway," Lin Qingming agreed without thinking. He didn't care about the money, so it was not up to him to decide whether to buy or not.

Lin Qingxue nodded and said nothing more. She began to think about what to buy next.

The four of them went to the blacksmith's shop and bought two longswords and six daggers, as well as four crossbows and four hidden blades.

There are many women in the family. Although they cannot use weapons to fight the enemy, they can use them to protect themselves. The women of the Lin family look weak, and the refugees have no guard against such women. They can hide weapons on their bodies and achieve unexpected results.

After buying the weapons, Lin Qingxue quietly put them into the space, and then went to the vendors on both sides of the street to buy some snacks, including various soft and glutinous cakes suitable for the elderly, as well as candied haws, etc.

After buying almost everything, Lin Qingxue and the other three found a secluded alley with no one around, smuggled the food out of the space, tied it to an ox cart, covered it with oilcloth, and drove the cart out of the city.

When they came out of the city, the sun was shining brightly. Lin Qingxue sat next to Lin Qingran, carrying a basket on her back. Their ox cart was in the front, passing through the crowded crowd and coming to the outside of the pavilion. After they met up with the people from Linjia Village, the four brothers and sisters finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They could clearly see the look in the refugees' eyes when they saw them. They could no longer stay in Lingyun City and had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise they would most likely lose the food.

After meeting up with Village Chief Lin, Lin Qingming didn't have time to report what he had discovered before he saw Village Chief Lin and the villagers walking towards them.

Lin Qingming felt soft-hearted and suppressed the matter, and called his two younger brothers to distribute the food to everyone.

Seeing that her three brothers were busy, Lin Qingxue carried the basket back to her own camp. She gave the basket to Aunt Lin and asked her to distribute the snacks in the basket, and then went to eat.

After filling her stomach, Lin Qingxue finally had the energy to plan her next steps. Based on what she had just seen when she came out of the city, they had to leave quickly because those refugees were becoming more and more dangerous.

Lin Qingxue told Old Man Lin about the plan to go into the city and asked him to help make a decision. She was still too young and had not thought long-term or comprehensively enough about many aspects.

"Qingxue, according to what you said, we must leave as soon as possible. There is a high possibility of a refugee riot in Lingyun City."

Old Man Lin had a gloomy face and his tone was full of fear. It was obvious that he was very afraid of what he said.

"That's what I meant, Grandpa, Uncle. I'm just worried about the villagers who have to carry their own luggage on the road. They won't be able to bear it. Every household in the village has elderly people and children. If those refugees really want to rob us, it won't be a big deal for us to run away."

Lin Qingxue shook her head. She hugged her two daughters in her arms and watched them eating candied haws. Her faces were full of satisfaction and happiness, and her heart was so soft. Such lovely daughters and such good family members to her must not have anything happen to them.

"Dad, what Qingxue said makes sense. Those people don't have any luggage, and they're mostly strong men. Our group is large, mostly made up of elderly people, women, and children. We all have a lot of luggage. If we really lose it, we won't be able to escape. If we lose our luggage and food, we might survive for a while, but sooner or later we'll die of thirst and starvation."

Uncle Lin said in a firm tone that he didn't want to run away and he couldn't run away, so he might as well fight to the death. Even a barefoot man is afraid of someone who doesn't care about his life.

"His father," Aunt Lin looked at Uncle Lin hesitantly. Thinking of the children at home, she wanted to run away, but when she thought of what her husband had just said, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape.

After hearing the conversation between Uncle Lin, Old Man Lin and Lin Qingxue, Li Yanniang and the others turned pale and hugged their children tightly. Does this world really not allow ordinary people to live?

The severe drought dried up the food, and they were forced to leave their homes to survive. They didn't expect to encounter so many dangers as soon as they reached Lingyun City. This was not the first time they were robbed by refugees.

However, this was the first time they encountered so many refugees.

Although Li Yanniang and the others did not pretend to go outside Lingyun City, they could still vaguely see the dark crowd of heads.

If those refugees really rushed over and tried to steal their food and water, would they give them the food or not?

Regardless of whether they were given the money or not, Li Yanniang and the others knew that their chances of survival were slim. Whether for food and water, or for their children, they had to fight back.
