The old lady said fiercely, "It's all because of the officials, both high and low, who are in collusion with each other!"

When the onlookers heard this, they all looked hesitant.

The woman holding the child originally wanted to take the child back to boil medicine, but after hearing what Dongfang Feiyang said, she couldn't help but stop and said, "Sir, you'd better not ask about this kind of thing. The officials here have united as one. We also heard half a month ago that the court sent relief grain, but the grain went to the homes of those wealthy businessmen and the government warehouses. Don't think that we are starving to eat. The officials and those profiteers are so rich! The food at home is not enough to eat, and they still sell it at a high price. They just don't want us ordinary people to survive."

The woman said this with sad eyes.

Dongfang Feiyang sighed, "Is there no one who can help you? Could they have embezzled all the relief grain sent by the imperial court?"

The woman smiled bitterly, "We still have to do some superficial work, but the food we were given is all moldy and rotten, and there is sand and stones in it, but we still want to eat porridge made from such food. If we don't eat it, we will die. Only by eating it..."

The woman looked sad. "In order to survive, even if the food is not clean, what does it matter? It's better than starving to death, right?"

The onlookers couldn't help but lower their heads.

In fact, now their demands are very simple, as long as they can survive.

But even such a simple wish could not be granted by those corrupt officials.

"The court will know what you said!"

"Don't worry, things will get better and better!"

Everyone...

There was a hint of light in his eyes, but it soon dimmed again.

In fact, they had thought about it before, but unfortunately the final result was...

There was no one to take charge of them, and no Bodhisattva came to send them food.

In fact, their requirements are very simple, as long as they don’t starve to death.

When the flood recedes and the weather improves, they can still grow food.

Before the crops mature, these days are a bit torturous.

In fact, many people have left their hometowns and gone to other places to make a living, but I heard that life is not easy there either.

Most of those who stayed behind are the elderly, the weak, the sick, or those who are unwilling to leave their hometown.

"Sister, where is your home?"

The eldest sister sighed, "My home is very simple!"

The eldest sister still took Dongfang Feiyang and the others away. Those who liked to watch the fun also followed them. More people were lying on the ground, looking lazy all over. It was mainly because they had been hungry for too long and did not have much strength left.

This day...

It really is, it's getting harder and harder.

The place where my eldest sister lives is actually a slum, and there is not even any shelter from the rain.

It's raining heavily outside and drizzling inside.

The cool wind was blowing, and they didn't have much clothes on, and some of the clothes were wet, which made them even colder.

There was no fire in the house in broad daylight.

In fact, the weather has been bad recently and it is impossible to find dry firewood.

When we had to start a fire, the whole house and yard were filled with smoke.

"Young Master, please rest here first. I will make some medicine for the child!"

The eldest sister spoke enthusiastically, saying that since someone had given her the medicine, this person was her lifesaver.

Dongfang Feiyang saw that she had no dry firewood at all, and asked in confusion, "How do you make a fire? Can these firewoods be lit?"

The eldest sister smiled bitterly, "It's a bit troublesome, but it's still possible!"

"Master, I am really grateful for giving me the medicine. If you need anything, just let me know. Even if you want to..."

Dongfang Feiyang waved his hands quickly, "Sister, don't let your imagination run wild. I'm married!"

Liu Yuejin couldn't help but chuckle, "My master's wife is so beautiful, and she's pregnant now. My master is not the kind of person you think!"

"Sir, I'll go out and take a look first..."

The eldest sister's smile was a little awkward. She did think just now that if this young man wanted her body, she could give it to him!

After all, this person has a good heart and is good-looking.
