Farming in troubled times: Anyone who stops me from getting rich will die!

The rain was pouring down with no sign of stopping.

Just as Su was about to pick up Li Jize at the village chief's house, there was a knock on the door.

Three wet men came in.

"The rain is too heavy!" Zhu Wu complained, took off his raincoat and hung it under the eaves.

Mrs. Su stepped forward to help Li Jize take off his clothes, and brought a clean towel for all three of them to wipe off the rainwater on their bodies.

"Yun'er is much better!" The village chief touched Li Jiyun's head, "Ms. Chen is so cruel. He can do something to such a young child."

He sighed, took the tea brought by Su Shi, and finished.

"Something happened to Lao Li's family just now, and Mrs. Chen is missing!" Zhu Sheng looked around inquiringly, and was relieved when he saw that Li Laosi's family looked calm and their reactions were average.

Li Yao sneered in his heart, maybe the big thing that happened to the Li family was not that Mrs. Chen was missing!

She nestled next to Mr. Li, handing over a small bamboo strip from time to time. Her well-behaved appearance made people think that the Li family's affairs were related to her.

"Then Mrs. Li went crazy. She ran to our house and asked my father to help find Mrs. Chen. She said that food was lost at home. Guess how much food she said was lost?"

Zhu Wu's face was full of anger and disdain.

"She said she lost three thousand kilograms of fine rice, and she was afraid that she would go crazy!

It was raining so heavily, and she didn't even wear a raincoat. She came crying and making a fuss, saying that Mrs. Chen had stolen the family's food and ran away! "

"Three thousand catties?" Mrs. Su glanced at her daughter and said calmly, "When we were at Li's house, we were able to eat a bowl of brown rice and sweet potato rice because Mrs. Li was so compassionate. If they have so much rice, they There is no need to cry about poverty every day and abuse us!"

"They often say that after paying taxes on the grain in the fields, there is not much left. They also say that there are many people in the family and there are expenses everywhere, so it is impossible to save grain."

Li Laosi wrapped one hand around Li Yao's little hand and pressed it gently.

Li Yao raised her face and smiled. She was not worried about being discovered, but her parents' invisible protection made her feel very warm.

"But Mrs. Li insists that she has three thousand kilograms of grain at home. Moreover, when we came just now, there were several bullock carts parked in and outside the Li family's courtyard, making a lot of noise."

"Well, it was the big shopkeeper who bought grain in the town who sent him to haul the grain. I saw my uncle lying on the ground, as if he had been beaten."

Li Jize said calmly, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

"What does this have to do with Mrs. Chen?"

What does it have to do with her? Mrs. Chen was lying dead in the space. What a disaster, hehe.

Bah, will this Chen pollute her space?

She needs to be thrown out soon.

The village chief looked at Li Yao with admiration. For such a young person, he asked the most important question.

"It was also the Chen family who suddenly disappeared, and the Li family's food suddenly disappeared. Therefore, Mrs. Li insisted that the Chen family had stolen the food inside and outside, and collaborated with outsiders to steal the food!"

If I had known this, I should have destroyed the scene. However, given the urinary behavior of those in the Li family, whoever is suspected is the one who does not need any evidence at all.

I don't want to think about why Chen stole three thousand kilograms of grain under everyone's nose.

whatever!

Li Yao curled up his lips, "Third aunt is really nothing, how can she steal grandma's food!"

Li Jize:......

Sister, how can you scold yourself?

Who else but my sister can make things disappear out of thin air?

He didn't even have to think about it to guess whose masterpiece it was.

However, it seems very cool!

Seeing the embarrassment of the Li family, he only felt happy and had no sympathy at all.

"Oh, they have suffered retribution! These days, they are still thinking about selling their grain, but they don't know that even half a grain of rice is not available outside.

I still don’t know if I’m luring the wolf into the house! "

The village chief said, "Fourth, we are here to ask you if you are willing to go with us. Although I am the village chief of Qingshan Village, our family name is Zhu. We, the Zhu family, plan to join our distant clan."

Li Laosi opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat, and he remained silent for a while.

How could he not know the village chief's kindness?

When a disaster strikes, even someone with the same surname may not come to help, not to mention that he is mumbling, injured and lame.

He glanced gratefully at Zhu Wu, this loyal brother.

Seeing that he was silent, the village chief continued, "I know your concerns, but Wu'er grew up with you, and I treat you the same as him.

In fact, there are still several families in the village who plan to leave with us.

Although they don't have the same last name, they have been together for so many years and they can't bear to separate.

Of course, your Li family should also have plans. If you want to go with them, that's fine too! "

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The Li family also has good ones!"

The heavy rain outside showed no signs of stopping, and the night was already dark.

"Wow, it's raining so hard, will we get flooded?"

Li Yao set up a chair and stood at the window, and the light in the room shone weakly under the eaves.

The rainwater gathered together and ran happily out along the small drainage ditch. The front was running endlessly, and the back was trying its best to catch up and play with each other.

Zhu Sheng squeezed next to her, first looked at the situation outside, and finally looked down at the little person.

She shouldn't have such strong sensitivity, she must have said it casually.

If she hadn't said this casually, he would have almost forgotten the flood 15 years ago.

That year, just like today, it rained for seven days. Finally, the Grand Canal could no longer bear the water. The government ordered the gates to be opened to release water. From the Grand Canal down, more than a dozen counties and towns were flooded.

Fortunately, they had mountains at their backs and managed to escape with their lives.

That year corpses were everywhere and many people died.

After so long, the silent wail began to beat in his heart again.

Li Yao, who was next to him, seemed to feel his sadness, "Grandpa village chief, have you ever seen such heavy rain?"

Zhu Sheng nodded.

"Mom, dad, let's live in the mountains, where the water won't reach us."

After saying that, she jumped into Su Shi's arms.

Admittedly, the Zhu family was very kind-hearted, and her heart was not untouched.

But the road ahead is slim, and the Zhu family has gone to seek refuge with a distant family, so what reason do they have to bother them.

Besides, it seems that the war will not necessarily end here, and the water will definitely come.

The top priority is to avoid floods. As for the future, let’s talk about it.

When she said this, she reminded the village chief. With the village chief's wit, he will definitely be able to make a better decision.

Their family won't get involved.

Since the whole family listens to her, no one will object to her words.

"Yao'er is right," Li Laosi looked at the Zhu family and his son apologetically, "We plan to go up the mountain. Whether it is a war or a flood, we can avoid it for a while by hiding in the mountains."

He lowered his eyes, "My legs haven't grown yet, so following you guys will be a drag.

Uncle Zhu, we can’t bring trouble to everyone just because of our family! "

Either way!

Zhu Sheng sighed.

"The rain won't stop for a while, you should think about it first."

In fact, he has just changed his mind a little bit. If he really wants to take so many people to join his distant relatives, he doesn't know what the future will be like. Besides, it was raining unusually, which sounded his alarm.

The Zhu family father and son stood up and plunged into the dark night.

The heavy rain was like a monster with its teeth and claws, devouring the tranquility of Qingshan Village.
