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

At this moment, the members of the main branch of the family were filled with remorse.

The red cloth gleamed, clearly indicating its high value.

The shoes were made of expensive brocade, and were embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns.

If they had known their new niece was so generous, they would have definitely given her a red envelope as a token of their appreciation; they might have gotten a bunch of nice things in return.

They were so envious!

Aunt Cui Yuhong gave her husband Su Dashan a look.

Then, laughing heartily, he stood up and strode over to Shen Shuli.

He immediately tried to take Shen Shuli's hand, but Shen Shuli dodged him in time.

She wasn't embarrassed at all, and still smiled and said, "Niece, your uncle, your cousins ​​and I have already prepared a gift for you. It's inside the house. We'll go back inside and get it now. Please wait."

After saying that, he left with his family of more than ten people.

Old Man Su and Old Woman Su had gloomy faces, wanting to stop their eldest son but not daring to speak.

The elderly couple knew that their eldest son only wanted to take advantage of them and wasn't sincere, but they still felt uncomfortable.

Soon, the members of the eldest branch of the family returned with gifts.

The red envelopes were all flat and dry.

They lined up one by one to give Shen Shuli gifts.

Shen Shuli smiled, a barely perceptible sneer playing on her lips, and accepted all of them.

Then, in front of everyone, he opened all the red envelopes.

Goodness, most of the red envelopes only contained a single copper coin.

Even worse, some of them were stuffed with pebbles to make up the size, while others were completely empty.

This absurd move made Shen Shuli laugh out loud.

The eldest son's family didn't expect Shen Shuli to open the red envelopes in front of them.

At this moment, they were all incredibly embarrassed.

But he still shamelessly waited for Shen Shuli to return the favor.

When his aunt Cui Yuhong saw that he had not returned the gift for a long time, she could no longer hold back.

She shamelessly asked for it.

“Niece, you’ve already given a return gift to the third brother’s family. It’s only fair that you give a return gift to your eldest cousins ​​as well. We’re all family, so let’s avoid creating any rifts.”

Shen Shuli looked at Cui Yuhong with her eyes, which were only a slit wide, and threw a stack of red envelopes into the air, hitting Cui Yuhong in the face.

"Are you worthy?"

"You! You! You shameless woman, how dare you humiliate me like this!" Cui Yuhong's face turned red with anger, and she reached out to grab Shen Shuli's face.

Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua, who had been protecting their daughter on either side, immediately stepped in front of her upon seeing this, coldly staring at Cui Yuhong.

"Sister-in-law, stop making a fool of yourself here. If you're not going to send anything, then don't bother. Who are you trying to humiliate with an empty red envelope? And you even dared to lay a hand on my daughter in front of me! Do you really think I, Su Yunhai, am dead?!"

Su Yunhai showed no respect for his sister-in-law and kicked her to the ground.

No one expected Su Yunhai to make a move directly, and they were so shocked that they dared not move.

It took Su Dashan a while to react before he rushed to check on his wife.

Seeing the man writhing on the ground in pain, he glared at Su Yunhai with bloodshot eyes and roared, "Su Dahai, how dare you kick your sister-in-law! How dare you!"

Su Yunhai snorted coldly, unleashing his full aura.

His fat, almost invisible eyes looked down at Su Dashan with disdain.

"What, you want to experience what it's like to get kicked too?"

Su Dashan then realized that his second brother had long since become ruthless and would retaliate twice as fiercely, openly or secretly, if things didn't go his way.

"I'm your older brother!" Su Dashan said, suppressing his anger.

"I acknowledge you, but you are the one who is." Su Yunhai's eyes were disdainful.

"You!!" Su Dashan was so angry he almost vomited blood.

Seeing that the two brothers were about to fight again, Old Man Su quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Enough! Eldest brother, quickly take your wife back to bed."

"Second brother, even if your sister-in-law's gift was a little small, it was still a token of her affection. How could you lay a hand on her!"

"You're a scholar, after all. If word gets out, what will become of your reputation?" Old Man Su couldn't help but lecture and threaten.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense." Su Yunhai was thoroughly fed up with the Su family.

He finally understands now.

These people clearly have the same appearance as his modern parents and siblings, so why are their values ​​and personalities so different?

It turns out that the author deliberately set it up to be disgusting.

In the past, I could give them some face because they looked exactly like my parents and brothers from my previous life.

But now, they're just a bunch of paper cutouts.

He has let it go.

"I have something important to tell you all, please sit down."

Su Yunhai sat down with his wife and daughter in their seats and looked at the other families from a distance.

The other two families remained silent and sat down quietly.

Looking at the food that was almost cold, especially the two fragrant meat dishes, braised chicken and braised pork, I wanted to eat but dared not touch them.

"My daughter brought back important news from Qingzhou."

"The upper echelons of Qingzhou have received confirmation that General Zhenbei has died in battle, and his nine sons have also sent back news of their deaths one after another. Hanshan Pass has been breached and occupied by the Northern Barbarians."

"The northern vassal kings took the opportunity to conscript soldiers at will, not even sparing ten-year-old children, and were also looking for various excuses to increase taxes. There was a severe drought, and no food could be grown at all, leaving the people with no way to survive."

“Recently, many desperate people have been flowing into various parts of Qingzhou from the north. We expect a large influx of refugees to arrive here soon as well. They will definitely rob our food and houses.”

"The weather is too hot and the ground temperature is too high. The seeds we planted were scalded and they couldn't germinate no matter how much water we poured on them. There was no harvest at all this year."

“The price of grain outside has increased nearly tenfold, and we can hardly afford to buy grain anymore. Even if we could afford to buy it, there is no grain to sell. There is no way to survive if we continue to stay in the village.”

"Not to mention other places, just here, it hasn't rained for more than half a year. The small river outside the village is almost dry, and of the three wells in the village, only the last one is dry, and the water output is getting worse every day."

"I don't want to wait until the water source dries up completely and then die with my family."

"I have decided to lead the people of our second branch south to escape the famine. If you also want to leave, you can come with us."

"If anyone thinks I'm talking nonsense or spreading alarmist rumors, you can choose to stay here."

"Our family will be leaving in seven days at the latest. You can think about it for a few more days and then let me know the result."

"Okay, let's eat."

After Su Yunhai finished speaking, he ignored how shocked the Su family was and continued to serve food to his wife and daughter.

Normally, the Su family wouldn't eat their food based on Su Yunhai's mood.

The main reason they didn't dare to start eating was because Su Yunhai's outburst today had frightened them.

But now, the Su family members, who were already starving, were all frightened after hearing Su Yunhai's words, and no one touched their chopsticks.

"Second brother, are you serious?" Old Su was so frightened that his hand holding the chopsticks was trembling.

All eyes at the table were on Su Yunhai.

Su Yunhai remained unmoved, not even glancing at his father, but he still managed to reply.

"Would I dare joke about something like this? Besides, am I the kind of person who would joke with you guys?"

"Tomorrow I will go to the surrounding counties to buy some grain. If you don't believe me, you can go and see what the situation is like in the city."

Seeing is believing. No amount of talk can compare to seeing for yourself.

Nowadays, most of the grain shops in Qingyun County where they live have closed down. The grain in the shops that are still open is not enough for the residents of the city to share. It is considered lucky if you can buy any grain.

Over the years, Su Yunhai has been in charge of the family's grain, while the other two households have no idea what's going on outside, like frogs at the bottom of a well.

They thought that as long as there was grain at home, everything outside would be peaceful and prosperous.

Even though there were two rare meat dishes at the welcoming banquet, everyone ate without much interest.

"Clang clang clang clang clang~"

Before they even left the table, a flurry of gong sounds echoed throughout the village.

That was the signal from the village chief to gather the entire village; each household needed to send at least one person to the threshing ground to discuss matters.
