I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Aunt Sun shook her head, "You are a kind child."

"But you did save my life today. Although you didn't mention it, I can't help but be grateful."

Zhu Qiuqi was helpless, she didn't expect Aunt Sun to be a person who valued love and righteousness.

Seeing Zhu Qiuqi's helplessness, Aunt Sun couldn't help laughing.

"All right, all right, since you don't want to mention it, I won't say any more."

But when she looked down at the two bags of grain, Aunt Sun's expression suddenly became serious.

Zhu Qiuqi immediately noticed that something was wrong with Aunt Sun, and followed Aunt Sun's gaze, and found that it was the two bags of brown rice that Aunt Sun gave her.

Zhu Qiuqi's heart skipped a beat. Aunt Sun suddenly felt that the two bags of food were too much and she wanted to take the food back, right?

But looking at the amount of these two bags of grain, Zhu Qiuqi didn't think Aunt Sun was being stingy in asking for the grain back.

After all, Auntie Sun gave her more than half a bag of polished rice for three times as much brown rice. Now that Auntie Sun wants to take back the extra grain, she has nothing to say.

"Ma'am, if you want to take the food back, I'll let those two little brothers..."

Zhu Qiuqi hadn't finished speaking when she heard Aunt Sun suddenly burst out laughing.

"You girl, what are you thinking? Since all the food is given to you, how can there be any reason to go back?

"Then you are?"

After all, Aunt Sun is just the cook of the Li family. If she suddenly gave her so much food, the master of the Li family might also ask questions.

It would be fine if it was in the past, but in this calamity year, even if the Li family is a wealthy family, I am afraid that Aunt Sun can't tolerate giving her so much food to an outsider.

Zhu Qiuqi just wanted to persuade Aunt Sun that she should take back the grain.

Looking at it now, it is a good job to work in Li's house, if Aunt Sun loses this job because of her, then it will be too late for her to regret it.

Who knew that Aunt Sun shook her head slightly as if she had seen what she was thinking.

"Don't worry about me. I have been with Madam since I was a child. I can be regarded as Madam's dowry maid. Later, the little master was born. In order to let the little master eat something good, I became a cook."

The affairs of the Li family are too complicated, and the second young master's illness is a thorn in Madam's heart.After the young master was born, the madam didn't trust anyone, so she took care of the young master's diet with her own hands.

It's just that Aunt Sun didn't tell Zhu Qiuqi these words, she just told her not to worry about herself.

Zhu Qiuqi didn't expect Aunt Sun to have such an identity, even though they were all servants.But this dowry maid who is the mistress of the house can be regarded as a little master of the family.

Zhu Qiuqi wanted to understand the key to this, and she was relieved a lot.

"not worried?"

Aunt Sun asked amusedly.

Zhu Qiuqi nodded embarrassedly.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Sun approached her a little suddenly, Zhu Qiuqi was startled.But fortunately, she had good concentration, so she didn't dodge.

"I just looked at the food, but I didn't want to take it back."

Aunt Sun lowered her voice suddenly, and Zhu Qiuqi's heart also rose.

Although she still doesn't know what happened, but seeing Aunt Sun's attitude, Zhu Qiuqi knew that what Aunt Sun wanted to tell her might not be simple.

"Then you are?"

Aunt Sun pointed to the two bags of grain, and then to the door.

"A few days ago, the yamen in the county seat was never closed. Do you know why?"

Zhu Qiuqi shook her head, she really didn't know about it.

Although she went to the county government office today, at that time the county government office was full of people from their Xiaozhang Village, and she really didn't find anything wrong.

"Auntie, what do you mean, is there a lot of cases in the county government in the past two days?"

Aunt Sun nodded, "You must be aware of the past two years."

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, although she has not been here for a long time.But in the original body's memory, she still saw the current situation.

Aunt Sun sighed, "Now the situation is getting worse and worse. Since the beginning of this year, the county has started to lose food. In the past six months, everyone has been in panic."

"Our Li family is fine. After all, there are many people in the house. If there are those who are interested in the Li's house, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape."

"But other people may not be sure. The Wang family granary lost a lot of food in the past two days. The Wang family granary is the largest granary in our county. In just one night, it was emptied .”

"The county magistrate has also sent people to investigate this time, but so far there is no clue."

Rao Zhu Qiuqi knew that the current situation was not good, and also thought that everyone would lose grain, but she didn't expect that all the granaries in the county town would be stolen.

Aunt Sun looked at the two bags of grain on the ground again, "Although these two generations don't have much grain, but you will inevitably catch people's eyes when you come out with two bags of grain."

Zhu Qiuqi nodded approvingly, and she also remembered the eyes of people around her when she sprinkled polished rice on the ground in Dongshi.

At that time, she sensed that someone wanted to step forward, but the other party seemed to recognize Aunt Sun, so she didn't do anything.

"After you go back today, you will close the door tightly. Especially at night, you must wake up a little bit."

Aunt Sun's expression was too serious, Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help but feel her heart tighten.

"aunt……"

Aunt Sun looked around, and then moved closer to Zhu Qiuqi's ear again.

"Several people in the Wang family died that day."

Zhu Qiuqi took a deep breath, obviously she didn't expect to kill people to grab food.

"Thank you for your reminder, ma'am, I've made a note of it, and I will tell my husband-in-law about it."

Zhu Qiuqi bowed deeply to Aunt Sun.

She knew that life in the calamity year was difficult, but she didn't expect that it would involve human life.

According to what Aunt Sun said, the family background of the Wang family is not bad.

For such a family, there must be many Xiaosi and servants in the family.

However, this is the case, and several people died, which shows how crazy those people who grabbed food were at that time.

In a calamity year, human nature will also be exposed.Changing children to eat will also happen, which is also the darkest side of human nature.

"Not only do you have to tell your man, if you have a way when you go back, you can raise a few more big dogs. Not for food, but for the safety of your family, you have to take good care of them."

Zhu Qiuqi's heart also sank at this time, she had never thought about these things before.

After all, Xiao Zhangzhuang was the one Yuan Chen was most familiar with, and he had never been out of the county in his life.If you don't know about these things, they don't exist in your memory.

It was not until today that Zhu Qiuqi truly realized that the environment she was living in was a famine year.

Thinking of the strange eyes she had stared at her today when she was packing polished rice on the street, Zhu Qiuqi felt that she might have been watched.
