Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

A skinny old man wiped his mouth and said with a sad tone: "This year there has not been a drop of rain throughout the summer, the land is so dry that smoke can be emitted, and the few crops and food are also faced with an overwhelming locust disaster. We These ordinary people are in sorrow and will eventually be displaced."

"The territory you are in is close to the southwest. In the past, it was a large food province with good weather and abundant harvests. We took a gamble and rushed here."

"It turns out there are locusts here too. Many families have lost their crops. We don't know where we are going. We can only survive one day at a time."

He is an old boy. Although he does not have much knowledge, he is very worried about this phenomenon.

And because he was so worried, he couldn't help but think about the suffering such a disaster would bring to the people.

Therefore, he was able to take his family out of Zhengyang County and go to a place where there was still some greenery, hoping to find a stable place to survive.

But he heard locusts everywhere along the way, and the despair in his heart couldn't help but accumulate further, so much so that he didn't even have a glimmer of hope after arriving at Sifang Village.

"Life outside has become so difficult, so what should we do in the future?"

Hearing the old man's sad and desperate words, the villagers were instantly in an uproar.

"Our roots are here, we must not abandon everything and leave like them!"

Seeing that the villagers were like thunder, with their faces full of despair and fear, Wan Shufang quickly spoke to comfort everyone: "Don't panic, everyone. Our Sifang Village is backed by several mountains and surrounded by a river. Although there is not much water in the river, But as long as we are careful and economical, we will not reach a desperate situation."

Gao Fangfang immediately agreed: "The Chen family is right. Our Sifang Village is strategically located, and I believe God will not be so cruel. As long as we survive this year, maybe we can live as usual."

She said this, but her chest seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, so heavy that there was an invisible pressure that made her breathless.

She could only rely on Wan Shufang with all her strength, and said with a forced smile: "We are now planting medicinal materials. When the medicinal materials grow, we will be rich. Our life is much better than others." , so everyone, don’t worry, just find a way to grow some medicinal materials and stock up on things at home.”

After listening to her words, the villagers felt relaxed and suppressed their anxiety when they thought about the medicinal materials that could be harvested in a few days.

They sighed one after another, and showed kindness to a few refugees, letting them live in shabby thatched houses at the end of the village, and then went to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables to feed their bellies.

Feeling the kindness of the villagers, the old man cried like a child and thanked everyone, and then took his family to stay at the end of the village.

Wan Shufang watched from the sidelines. Although she was worried, she did not stop the villagers' kindness. Instead, she observed the old man and his family for a while.

Discovering that even if they were in dire straits, they still had an arrogance that ordinary people could not ignore. She immediately judged that this family was not ordinary people digging for food in the fields, so they had their own bottom line and would not harm the villagers.

Confirming that the family was harmless, Wan Shufang took Gao Fangfang home.

On the way, Gao Fangfang said with a trembling voice: "The life outside is getting harder and harder. Even if we go out, I'm afraid it won't be much better. I just hope God will show mercy and give us a way to survive."

"I believe there is no perfect path for everyone." Wan Shufang sighed heavily.

Not even a drop of rain fell throughout the summer, and there was a locust plague. The court's relief efforts were not seen. If the people got into chaos, would the world still be stable? Where should their family go?

With complicated thoughts, Wan Shufang said goodbye to Gao Fangfang and went home, but she bumped into Wang Xiaohui who was leaving home with a bag of food.

"Mom, why are you back?" As soon as she saw Wan Shufang, Wang Xiaohui blocked the food with some guilt.

Then she felt that it was easy for people to misunderstand, so she quickly raised the food in front of her and said flatteringly: "Mom, I want to go back to my parents' house, please let me go back."

"Did I say I wouldn't let you go back?" Wan Shufang couldn't get used to her defensive look and spoke angrily.

The smile on Wang Xiaohui's face was slightly stiff, but she said: "Aren't I afraid that you will think too much? Haha, I was about to go to you to talk about this, but I didn't expect you to come back directly."

"If I don't come back, you won't tell me." Wan Shufang's face dropped deliberately when she heard what she meant.

Wang Xiaohui tightened the sack in her hand, suppressed the ups and downs in her heart, and said with a bit of innocence: "How can I do that? I am the daughter-in-law of the Chen family and a member of the Chen family. I would never dare to do anything to disgrace Chen." A family matter.”

"It's best this way." Wan Shufang knew that Wang Xiaohui had her own little thoughts, but she had been doing pretty well recently, and she didn't intend to dwell on her little problems.

She glanced at the sack in her hand. It was only half a bag, and the bulging shape was not rice or grain. This showed that Wang Xiaohui was somewhat measured.

She looked out at the sky and said, "Come back early, don't let the second child and the children worry."

After saying that, she passed Wang Xiaohui and entered the house.

Then she thought of Wu Qiaoyue's natal family, so she went to Wu Qiaoyue and said, "Boss, wife, do you want to go back to your natal family?"

"Mom, I will be good, don't drive me away." When Wu Qiaoyue heard the words "mother's family", she suddenly felt that every hair on her body stood up.

Fear surged into her heart like a tide, and she was so frightened that she was about to kneel in front of Wan Shufang and beg her not to drive her away.

"Boss, wife, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Wan Shufang didn't expect her reaction to be like this. She quickly reached out to grab her arm and lifted her up to prevent her from kneeling down.

Wu Qiaoyue couldn't stop crying: "My parents treated me like water that was thrown away. They haven't come to see me in these years, and I was beaten and scolded by them when I was at home. What's more, when the head of the family married me, I spent money, but they didn’t want me anymore after taking the money, I..."

Speaking of the sad things that were suppressed in her heart, Wu Qiaoyue could no longer hold back the emotions in her heart that turned from sobbing to heartbroken crying.

"It's my mother's fault. I shouldn't have made you sad by mentioning this matter. I'm sorry." After hearing Wu Qiaoyue's words, Wan Shufang apologized with regret on her face.

"Mom, this is none of your business. You shouldn't apologize to me." Wan Shufang suddenly apologized. Wu Qiaoyue was so shocked and frightened that she couldn't care less about her own sadness and spoke in a panic.

She is the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and Wan Shufang is her mother-in-law. How can I apologize to her? This is so scary!

Wan Shufang saw through her thoughts, held her hand tightly and said slowly, "Boss, wife, I did say the wrong thing just now and made you sad. Why don't you think I was wrong?"
