A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

The old bachelor sighed deeply. He decided that he would never have children until the famine was over. He didn't want to be killed by the child he raised, or for him to kill his own child, all for the sake of food.

It's chilling to think about; a family killing each other just to survive.

After the meal was ready, Xia Fuxi greeted them warmly, "Husband, come and eat!"

The old woman smelled the aroma wafting from the pot of fish soup. It had no seasoning, just a muddy, earthy smell, but she seemed oblivious to it. She closed her eyes in blissful intoxication and took another deep breath. "So delicious!"

She'd forgotten what meat tasted like.

Xia Fuxi felt a pang of sadness; her grandmother must be having a very hard time.

The old bachelor couldn't bear to watch, so he turned around, scooped up a bowl, and squatted down at the entrance of the cave to eat.

Xia Fuxi filled a large bowl for the old woman. Ignoring the heat, she drank it down with gusto.

"Grandma, where are the villagers?"

After the meal, Xia Fuxi chatted with her, and the old bachelor listened intently. When he went up the mountain, everyone was still in the village!

For the first time in over a year, Old Mrs. Xia was in a great mood and felt like chatting.

“They all went to escape the famine. The village chief led the whole village, except for some old men and women who didn’t want to leave. They all left, saying they were going to the south.”

"Since you came together, why did you get separated?" Xia Fuxi asked, puzzled. Shouldn't people from the same village take care of each other?

“Sigh, how could we leave if our family hadn’t left? Your father is a coward. There were still grass roots on the mountain and some water in the village, so we thought we’d check it out. But then, the well water was almost gone, and we had no choice but to leave. That’s when we thought about fleeing the famine, but we never expected…”

As she spoke, the old woman wiped away her tears. Her poor son, grandson, and old man!

"So, all that's left in the village now are elderly people?" the old bachelor asked.

"Yes, they said they're too old to walk anymore, so they'll stay in the village to look after everyone's houses, and live one day at a time."

"Do they have anything to eat?"

"I gave it all to my family. We just eat tree bark and grass roots every day. We still have water. We fetch water and store water every day. It should last us a while."

The old bachelor seemed to be deep in thought.

Extreme joy turns to sorrow; that perfectly describes her situation.

The more enjoyable the dinner is, the more miserable the second half of the night will be.

The old woman had been starving for a long time and had not eaten any meat. She suddenly ate a large meal and then ate two fish, which her stomach could not handle.

In the latter half of the night, I either had diarrhea or vomited.

The old bachelor was furious at the smell in the cave. He wanted to throw her out. Was she deliberately trying to annoy him? Unable to stand it, he got up, grabbed a blanket, and went outside to sleep, since it was hot anyway.

Xia Fuxi barely slept a wink all night, having spent the entire night caring for her grandmother, leaving her utterly exhausted. With dark circles under her eyes, she looked at her grandmother with a resentful expression.

I told her to eat less, to eat less. Eating too much after being hungry for so long will give her diarrhea. But she wouldn't listen. There were only two fish, and she ate them both, leaving not a single bite for her or her husband. I could understand she was starving, but…

Ugh!

The head of the household must be furious!

Old Mrs. Xia lay in the cave, her stomach cramping in waves, making her groan in pain, cold sweat pouring down her face. She was filled with regret; she was unlucky, finally managing to eat a full meal, only to ruin herself like this.

From then on, she never dared to be greedy again.

"Grandma, I'll go boil some water. You can rest for a while."

The old woman nodded.

She had been defecating for half the night and was now lying there like a dead fish, completely still except for her eyeballs.

The old bachelor came in, glanced at the person on the ground with disdain, and said, "I'm going to do some work."

Out of sight is pure.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Xia Fuxi asked hurriedly. It's all physical labor; how can they not eat?

"I'll work for a bit first, then I'll come back to eat."

Xia Fuxi: ...

She knew he was unhappy, but she was helpless. She couldn't just ignore her and watch her die, could she?

Old Mrs. Xia lay down for several days without getting up. At first, she could barely get up and go for a walk, but after a few days, she just lay in the cave, unable to move around or even get up.

The cave was filthy because of her.

It was clear that this person was dying.

The old woman shed two lines of tears, saying that the old man's life was bitter, but hers was even more bitter, having suffered so much before she died. She felt that this time, she really couldn't escape it.

But she couldn't bear to die!

Having endured so much hardship, and with good days just around the corner, she was unwilling to give up on enjoying them.

The old bachelor pulled Xia Fuxi outside, saying, "Fuxi, your grandma can't die in our cave."

Even now, he feels that she has polluted his home.

Xia Fuxi said with difficulty, "Then what should we do? Grandma can't move at all, how can we move her? I can't hold her either! Besides, where can we move her to?"

“I’ll carry it. I’ve set up a small shed up ahead, next to your grandfather’s grave. Let’s take her there. We also need to tidy up our cave.”

That old woman is really disgusting. He's been building a shed on the wasteland for the past two days to get her out.

"Will Grandma agree?" Xia Fuxi asked worriedly, as her grandma was no pushover.

"Why bother with her? She just doesn't agree, what can she do about it?" They can't even budge an inch, so they can do whatever they want with her!

"If she dies here, will we ever sleep together again? Just thinking about it now makes me feel disgusted."

"Alright then." Thinking about it, it made sense. She was now a member of the Liu family; it was unlucky for a member of her own family to die in her husband's family. The man before her was everything to her. The Xia family had been severed from her the moment they tried to sell her.

She should be of one mind with him, think of him, and listen to him.

Now, she has already done more than enough by taking care of them these past few days and arranging their funeral.

"We'll do as you say. You go and move the people, I'll carry the blankets and stuff, we'll take them over now."

Her grandmother could pass away at any moment. This morning, she wouldn't even drink water. If you're going to leave, do it as soon as possible!

"to make."

The old bachelor said nothing, picked her up, and left. The old woman knew they didn't want her to die in the cave and wanted to move her. Despite her thousand unwillingnesses, she couldn't resist; she couldn't even utter the words, "I don't want to go." All she could do was cry.

She committed many sins in her life, and now, her retribution has come!

She wronged her second son, her second daughter-in-law, and Xia Ning.

She even felt guilty towards her eldest grandson, second grandson, and eldest son, whom she had spoiled so much.

So, is Heaven taking her and the old man away so early to make them pay their debts? To pay the debts they owed to their children!
