As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

Chapter 221: Widow Liu Runs Away with Food

At the signal of her daughter-in-law, Widow Liu, Mrs. Liu stood up.

She took two steps, hesitated and didn't dare to say anything. After all, no one in the village wanted to move out yet.

Looking back, she saw Widow Liu winking at her and encouraging her. Thinking of what they had discussed at home, she mustered up her courage and walked forward.

Originally, Mrs. Liu thought it was best to stay in the village and there was no need to move away.

But Widow Liu kept telling them about some tragedy every day, which scared the two old people so much that they didn't know what to do.

After all, their family is now full of old and young, and only Widow Liu is young and capable.

Since the famine occurred, Mrs. Liu's attitude towards Widow Liu has changed 180 degrees, and she no longer beats or scolds her.

They were afraid that Widow Liu would control their family.

After all, in this world, whoever has the stronger fist has the final say!

Widow Liu often told them that today a family in West Village refused to move out, so criminals broke into their home and killed everyone in the family.

Not even a three-year-old child was left behind!

Tomorrow I will inadvertently tell them about a family in the town.

Because he refused to go south with his tribesmen, he was robbed by the refugees. He managed to save his life, but now he lives worse than pigs and dogs.

The refugees loaded a cart with food and asked the family to pull the cart like oxen and horses.

If you are not careful, you will be whipped or beaten with a stick.

They don't care about killing people and just dump their bodies on the roadside to expose them to the elements. The rest are then pulled into carts. It's simply a life worse than death!

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu and her husband couldn't sleep well for several days. They pulled Mrs. Liu's sleeve and asked her, "What should we do?"

"We must move away. Are we going to stay here and wait for death? If the village chief says we won't move, then we won't move. I think the village chief just wants to trap us in Yulin Village."

"They want to control us. Every household has food. When the time comes, the village chief will call for able-bodied men. If he calls, everyone will respond. To put it bluntly, won't Yulin Village be their world?"

Mrs. Liu was stupid to begin with, and was frightened by her daughter-in-law's words so she immediately packed up the food with the old man and piled it in the kitchen.

I plan to go to the village chief's house today to say hello and see if anyone is willing to go with me.

Now, he was pushed out by his daughter-in-law to talk.

"I won't listen to your nonsense. We are moving, right now!"

"Hey, Granny Liu, why are you doing this? We have someone to look after us in the village. If you move out and run into danger, who will help you?"

An elderly woman in the village tried to give some advice with good intentions, but was rebuked by Mrs. Liu.

"You ignorant fool, everyone in the town and many villages has left, why don't we leave?"

"Stay here and wait to die? Are you more knowledgeable than the rich man in this town?"

The two of them quarreled so much that the village chief had a headache, so he shouted loudly.

"Alright, alright, you can go if you want, I won't stop you, but don't try to confuse the crowd with lies!"

Everyone knows who this is referring to.

After hearing that, Mrs. Liu became even more dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by spreading rumors to confuse the people? You are a bunch of ignorant and short-sighted people. When you die in the village one by one, you will regret why you didn't follow me!"

She uttered such a vicious curse that many villagers wanted to beat her.

But considering that she was an old woman whose son had died, he finally swallowed his anger.

The village isn't that chaotic now, but it's not a place where you have to fight with fists.

Ah!

The village chief glanced at Mrs. Liu and the people below who were ready to make a move.

At first glance, they were all the ruffians and bullies in the village.

I thought it was a good idea this way, once all these troublemakers were gone, the village would be easier to manage!

After everyone chattered in the yard for a while, they dispersed.

Mrs. Liu felt like she had won a battle, and walked home in high spirits. She did not notice that before she left the house, the widow Liu was looking lovingly at a man behind her.

Chen Yansheng was tall and leaning against the wall, so he could have a panoramic view of the entire scene in the yard.

Naturally, he did not miss the eye contact between Widow Liu and Guo Dacheng.

But he would not meddle in other people's business. If a widow and a bachelor were attracted to each other, there would be no real significance in him choosing her out.

Besides, if something really happens, it’s the Liu family’s fault!

Think about how they bullied my wife and mother some time ago.

Chen Yan shook his head and let them be.

Do not live by sin.

.......

I don’t know if it’s because he has been with his wife for a long time, but Chen Yan’s sixth sense has become so effective!

Early the next morning, Granny Liu ran to the village entrance like a madman, crying and cursing, and knocking on every door.

She cried and asked young and strong men in the village to help her find Widow Liu.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you were going to move yesterday?"

"Yeah, why are you banging on my door so crying so early this morning?"

The villagers rubbed their eyes and looked at the culprit, Mrs. Liu, with dissatisfaction.

"Oh, stop talking, can you please help me find her quickly!"

"He disappeared early this morning. Not only did that bastard take away my money-losing item, he also stole all the food in our house!"

Everyone was shocked because there was a lot of grain in Liujiatun, and the noise of transporting the grain was so loud that it went unnoticed.

Could it be that they were colluding with people from other villages?

Many strong men in the village gathered together and searched door to door, even searching the foot of the mountain, but still no sign of Widow Liu was found.

Chen Yan had just come down from the other side of the mountain and bumped into Chen Jixiang. They both shook their heads.

At this time, a half-grown young man came running over, shouting, "There's one less person in our village. Guo Dacheng is missing too!"

Got it!

As soon as his voice came out, Chen Yan suddenly thought of the look that Guo Dacheng and Widow Liu gave each other at the end of yesterday, and he understood instantly.

It must be Guo Dacheng who instigated Widow Liu. The two of them stole the Liu family's food and fled long ago.

They had planned it long ago, so they definitely wouldn't do it during the day.

Maybe they had already started the action as soon as night fell yesterday, so even if we chased after them now, we wouldn’t be able to see even a single figure.

After everyone understood the situation, they all felt that Granny Liu was both pitiful and hateful.

Yesterday, she was arrogantly cursing others at the village chief's house, saying that they would not be able to live anymore. Now, she is the one who cannot live anymore!

Mrs. Liu had cried enough and was only worried about her future food and clothing. Looking at the people present, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

She said loudly, "We are all from the same village. The village chief said that we should help each other. Now that bitch has taken all my food, why don't you share some of your food with me."

"This way I won't be short of food!"
