A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

"Dad, why don't we ask around and see if anyone wants these livestock and carts? If the price is right, we can sell them. They'll be enough for our needs," Shen Shuli suggested.

"Okay, that's a good idea."

"By the way, wife, we got so much meat, should we send some to your family?" Su Yunhai asked his wife.

Shen Yuehua smiled and shook her head, saying, "There's no need to send it to them specially. We'll meet up tomorrow, and it won't be too late to give it to them then. It'll save them the trouble."

"Okay, I'll do whatever my wife says."

The family of three was still discussing their escape route.

Then we saw Su Dalin and his family walking over.

"Third brother, what brings you here?" Su Yunhai asked.

With a simple and honest smile on his face, Su Dalin squatted down and said to Su Yunhai, "Second Brother, our family has come to help you."

"That's just how our parents are; they'll never change. Don't take it to heart."

Su Dalin's status in the Su family was only slightly higher than Su Yunhai's.

Before Su Yunhai and his wife transmigrated, Su Dahai's family was the old ox of the household, while Su Dalin's family was the young ox.

They're evenly matched.

After Su Yunhai and his wife transmigrated, they constantly resisted the old couple, and now the second wife is completely out of their control.

Su Dalin's son became the exploited old ox in the family.

Every time the elderly couple asked Su Yunhai for something, they would mention Su Dalin in their conversation.

In the end, all the good stuff was taken by the eldest son's family.

The third wife had long been accustomed to being a scapegoat.

Su Yunhai saw this and secretly spoke to the third brother several times, but he still couldn't stand up for himself, so he gradually stopped caring.

He also knew why the third branch of the family couldn't stand up.

They lack the ability to make money; they can only honestly farm. Without money in their pockets, they can never stand up straight and can only be exploited.

"Alright, I'll give you some meat when I'm done. Look how thin you all are," Su Yunhai said, patting his third son on the shoulder.

"Thank you, second brother."

Su Dalin never thought about asking for any reward; he just felt that his second brother had always taken good care of him.

He couldn't be an ingrate and pretend not to see his second brother when he needed help the most; his conscience wouldn't allow it.

"Second Brother..." Su Dalin looked at Su Yunhai, hesitated several times but couldn't speak.

"Just say what you need to say, stop beating around the bush," Su Yunhai urged, unable to bear the situation.

"Are you really going to abandon the Su family and flee the famine?" Su Dalin finally asked.

Su Yunhai looked at Su Dalin with some surprise and asked, "What's wrong? Do your parents still not want to come with me?"

This village has been targeted by bandits, and they're not even planning to escape. They're really not afraid of death!

I really don't know what these people are thinking.

"Anyway, before the bandits came, my parents said they definitely wouldn't leave and were trying to find ways to keep you from leaving. Now... I don't know if they've changed their minds."

Su Dalin was still shaken by what he had done to the bandits earlier that day, and he dared not stay there any longer.

But he was also worried that his parents wouldn't leave, and wouldn't let him leave either.

He dared not disobey his parents and bear the stigma of being unfilial.

"Second Brother, if Father and Mother don't leave, can I... can I go with you?" Su Dalin asked with difficulty, finally voicing the question that was on his mind.

"Sure, you've finally come to your senses?" Su Yunhai looked at his adopted third brother with surprise.

"Well, I might have hesitated before, but after what happened today, I'm really scared."

"Okay, I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning. Just follow me."

"But our household registration documents are still with our parents. Can we really leave?"

A strange smile appeared on Su Yunhai's face as he pulled out his household registration book from his pocket to show him.

“This time I went to register my daughter’s household registration and got the household registration certificate from them. I also separated our branch and your branch into separate households. You can come with me tomorrow without worry.”

“I was thinking that if you didn’t want to come with us, your three branches of the family could have more freedom if you separated your household registrations. This is the last thing I, as your second brother, can do for you.”

Su Dalin never expected that his second brother would go to such lengths for their branch of the family.

His eyes turned red instantly.

Su Dalin's wife, Lin Xiuxiu, and daughters, Su Manye and Su Mandi, were all listening nearby.

They were all covering their faces and sobbing.

It's clear how miserable this family's daily life is.

Lin Xiuxiu quickly wiped her face, then pulled her two daughters down to kneel before Su Yunhai.

"Second brother, thank you for taking such good care of us. We will repay you by working like an ox or a horse!" he said, pressing his children's heads and kowtowing repeatedly.

Su Yunhai was surprised by his sister-in-law's courage; she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him.

His obese body immediately bounced up and slid to the side like a ball.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's talk this out! You're trying to shorten my lifespan! This isn't repaying a debt of gratitude, it's revenge!" Su Yunhai hurriedly shouted.

When Su Dalin saw that his wife and children were kneeling, he realized what was happening and immediately knelt down as well. Hearing his second brother's words, he quickly pulled his wife up.

"Second brother, we didn't mean that. How about my daughter kowtows to you a few times? Otherwise, we'll feel bad about it."

"Don't be so stumbling. You've come all this way. Don't let others laugh at you. Get up quickly."

The three Su brothers successively recruited many villagers to come and help.

The spacious threshing ground was packed with people and instantly became lively.

Su Yunhai brought out all the salt he could find at home, and even traded a lot of salt with the villagers using meat.

These are all things that are obvious to everyone, so they didn't use the salt from Shen Shuli's space.

The villagers who came to help were those who hadn't received many spoils of war today, which is why they were able to take the time to help.

Su Yunhai casually inquired whether anyone was interested in buying his livestock and cart.

The asking price is 20% lower than the market price.

Several relatively wealthy families immediately rushed to buy it.

Tomorrow I'll be going to flee the famine with the Su family. They have too much stuff at home, they can't carry much at all.

Buying an animal to pull the cart would be much more convenient.

In less than half an hour.

Su Yunhai kept only four mules and four of the sturdiest carts, and disposed of everything else.

Only mules were kept because they are much faster than oxen, have more endurance than donkeys, can pull more loads than horses, and have an advantage over other livestock when traversing mountain roads.

Although it is even more expensive than a horse and cannot reproduce, its drawbacks are significant.

But these are things that the Su family doesn't need to consider at all.

Their family wasn't short of money, and they didn't need the mules to reproduce; they just needed these mules to accompany them through the long journey of fleeing famine.

They also sold over 500 jin of various kinds of meat.

The income was 333 taels of silver plus more than 300 catties of grain.

Su Yunhai turned around and handed over all the silver and grain to Shen Shuli for safekeeping.

It's safest to leave it with her, and it won't be tiring for her.

His daughter was just the best tool for him.

Many hands make light work, and all the meat was processed in half a day.

Su Yunhai was very generous, and he prepared generous gifts for everyone who helped him.

They also set aside half a day so that everyone could rush back to pack their things and get a good night's rest before fleeing the famine.

Back at the Su family home.

The Su Yunhai family, who had initially been in a good mood, all turned pale.
