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

There are two iron pots in the Lin family's kitchen. One is used to make chicken soup, and the other is used to stew chicken pieces with potatoes. There is only one pheasant, so more potatoes must be put in, otherwise there will not be enough to eat.

"Dad, the water level in the river is getting shallower and shallower. It never rains, and the crops in the fields are probably wasted. Do we still have to fetch water to irrigate the fields tomorrow?" Lin Qingming sat under the eaves and asked Uncle Lin seriously.

"Yes! Dad, we have the water for irrigating the fields. Why don't we take some home and keep it for ourselves," Lin Qingbai said in a low voice. He was so tired every day, but the crops in the fields remained the same, without any change.

"Uncle, I think what my elder brother said is right. We should carry some water home to use. When the water in the river is gone, it will be a problem for us to get water," Lin Qingran looked at Old Man Lin and finally said to Uncle Lin.

"Grandpa, I heard from my classmates that many people from other places are fleeing famine in our direction. In two or three months, they will reach our area. Shouldn't we buy more food now while the price doesn't go up?"

The youngest Lin Qingmin studied in a private school in the city. His teacher was a classmate and friend of Lin's father, and Lin Qingmin also had a talent for studying.

"Let's wait and see in a few days! Okay, let's go have dinner first!" Old man Lin shook his head. There was not much money left at home, so he had to think about it carefully.

Dinner was ready just in time, so Old Man Lin found an excuse to change the subject, and the family went to the kitchen to have dinner.

The Lin family’s dinner was still very sumptuous. There were many more potatoes in the potato chicken nuggets than chicken nuggets. Old man Lin and Mrs. Lin ate potatoes, and the chicken nuggets were left for the younger generations.

After dinner, the family wiped themselves with cold water and went back to their rooms to rest.

In the room of Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin, the old couple took out the family savings and placed them on the kang table and began to count them.

"Old man, we only have 26 taels of silver left. Do you think we should buy some food? The food at home can last us for half a year if we save it a little, but with the addition of Qingxue's family of three, I estimate it will only last us four months at most before we run out of food. Besides, the wild vegetables in the mountains are becoming increasingly scarce."

Mrs. Lin held the money tightly. There was a student in the family, and several grandsons who needed to get married and have children. Money was spent everywhere. After the youngest son passed away, the family had almost no income and was spending all the money.

"We have to buy food. What the eldest brother and the others said makes sense. The food in the field is just like this. Watering it is useless. Leave the money for the fourth brother's tuition and use the rest of the money to buy food!"

Old Man Lin said with a bitter and gloomy face, it was all because of his uselessness. After the youngest son passed away, the family became poorer and poorer, but what could they do? There was no income at home, more than ten mouths to feed, and several grandchildren had their own families and children, which did not require money.

"Okay, the fourth child needs two taels of silver for a year's tuition. We'll leave him six taels for three years. Paper and pens for study are big expenses, so let's just keep ten taels! The rest can be used to buy food for the eldest child and his family."

Mrs. Lin took the ten taels of silver and put it away. This money should not be touched unless it was absolutely necessary. Once it was touched, the fourth son would not be able to go to school.

"Okay, let's see tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, let the three eldest brothers go to the city to buy food!" Old man Lin said, putting away the pipe. After Mrs. Lin hid the silver, the old couple lay on the kang to rest.

On the other side, in Lin Qingxue's room, after her two daughters fell asleep, she went into the space to work. When she went shopping during the day, she poured the miscellaneous fish she bought into the stream.

So she just had to plant the grain and vegetable seeds and fence in the poultry. Lin Qingxue drove the poultry aside and then planted the grain.

She bought four kinds of grain seeds: rice, wheat, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and planted them in the fields next to the fish pond.

Then, on the other side of the open space, vegetables such as cabbage, eggplant, pepper, cucumber, loofah and bitter gourd were planted.

After planting, Lin Qingxue controlled the space to make it rain lightly, and then she left the space to rest. She was exhausted after running around during the day.

When the mother and her two daughters woke up, it was already daybreak. Lin Qingxue and the others put on their clothes and went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash up. There was breakfast left for them in the pot, which was still a bowl of sweet potato porridge and a boiled egg.

"Mom, what are we going to do after eating? Or are we going to pick wild vegetables with my aunt?" Lin Xiaoya asked Lin Qingxue in a low voice while taking a bite of egg and a mouthful of porridge. Lin Xiaowan next to her was just busy eating and didn't say anything.

"Yes! Your aunt should be washing clothes now. If you don't want to go digging wild vegetables, just play at home," Lin Qingxue looked up at her two daughters, not understanding why her eldest daughter asked this.

"No, I want to go, Mom, can we still catch pheasants today?" Lin Xiaoya thought of the chicken soup and chicken broth she drank last night, and she wanted to eat it again. She didn't know if she could still eat pheasant meat today.

"Mom doesn't know either. It depends on luck!" Lin Qingxue shook her head. If she could catch a pheasant today, she would at least catch two and put them into the space to pair and breed. Then she wouldn't have to worry about food in the future.

"Okay!" Lin Xiaoya felt a little depressed when she heard Lin Qingxue's words, but she quickly recovered.

The mother and her two daughters had just finished breakfast. Lin Qingxue washed the dishes when they heard movement at the door. The three of them walked out of the kitchen and saw Lin Qingyue coming back with two buckets of clothes.

"Sister, Xiaoya, Xiaowan, get up. After your aunt has hung up the clothes, I will take you to dig wild vegetables," Lin Qingyue said with a smile, and then went to the backyard to hang out the clothes with swift hands and feet.

"Okay, auntie, take your time, we're not in a hurry," Lin Xiaoya said as she walked towards Lin Qingyue and helped her pass the clothes.

After Lin Qingyue hung up the clothes, Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue each carried a basket, Lin Xiaoya carried a vegetable basket, and Lin Qingxue also took an axe and put it in the basket. The four of them closed the door and went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

However, the three of them were not lucky. After visiting several places, they did not see any wild vegetables, so they could only move slowly to a deeper place.

Seeing a bamboo forest, Lin Qingxue walked in and saw a small patch of dandelion in front of her. She quickly said, "Qingyue, there's a patch of dandelion over there. Take Xiaoya and Xiaowan over there to dig it up. I'll go see if there are any others. If there are, I'll call you. Once you've finished digging, I'll go over there and dig."

"Okay, sister, then you just be careful," Lin Qingyue looked from afar and saw that there was indeed a dandelion over there. She immediately agreed. After all, they were not far away and there was no need to worry about encountering any danger.

"I understand. You guys be careful too," Lin Qingxue said, and then she slowly walked to the side with an axe. Lin Qingyue took her two nieces to dig dandelions there.
