The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

After he left, he kept muttering:

"It's really unlucky, if someone hadn't said that all the adults in this family are dead.

These two kids are easy to fool.

When my parents were still alive, I was famous for my good looks in the surrounding villages.

Did I have to come all the way here?

That dead kid is also tough.

snort......

I want to see if these two little brats can survive in this world!

Bah, what bad luck...

You're making trouble for yourself so early in the morning. She's just a little girl. I can easily buy you a bunch of her.

It’s a pity for that little face, if it opens, it will definitely be a top-notch one…”

The villagers gathered outside the yard saw that Qian Laitou was very tough.

He didn't want to sell Qian Guixiang at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew it by looking at the woman's appearance.

If Qian Guixiang was really sold, her end would be miserable.

From the way the woman was dressed, they could already tell she was from that kind of place.

There was no precedent of selling children in their village, and no one wanted to start this practice.

But Qian Laitou's situation is rather special, as there are only two children in his family.

I didn't say anything to stop it just now because after all, it is someone else's family matter.

No matter how soft-hearted you are, what can you do if you meddle in other people's affairs?

Times are tough, and it’s imperative that everyone in your family survive.

It was already a very difficult thing, and there was no spare energy to raise two children.

After comforting the two children, everyone did not leave.

Instead, they all gathered in the yard, waiting for Patriarch Qian to come and see what to do.

I can't really watch two children starve to death in front of me.

What's more, most of the families with the surname Qian in Lotus Village are related by blood.

They are all from the same clan, and their ancestors might even be brothers.

Moreover, many of the people present were uncles and aunts that Qian Laitou was close to.

It’s just that they are not particularly close, only five generations apart.

Now that Chief Qian has arrived, he has discussed things with the villagers.

Looking at the two helpless siblings, he sighed.

After discussing with the villagers for a long time.

It was finally decided that every household in the village would contribute some food to Qian Laitou and Qian Guixiang until Qian Laitou was twelve years old.

No one had any objection, after all, the two children were really pitiful.

I want to give more, but then I think about my own family’s situation.

We can only be powerless.

It was said that every household was given some food, but in fact each family just scooped a bowl of food and put it into the jar in Wang Laitou's kitchen.

The jar was originally used to store grain, when the villagers opened the lid.

They found that there was not even a grain of food left inside, and even naked mice could slip away easily.

After pouring all the grain in, the jar was only half full of grain.

But these are far from enough for Qian Laitou and Qian Guixiang to live.

The rest was subsidized to the two of them by Patriarch Qian.

Patriarch Qian's family is a wealthy family in Lotus Village, with many strong people and laborers.

There was a scholar in the past who bought a lot of land for his family.

Therefore, their lives are relatively better than those of other villagers.

Relying on the fields and the work of the laborers in the family, he gradually saved some money.

If any other family in the village has an emergency, as long as it is not for anything bad.

When Chief Qian found out about this, he was willing to help whenever he could, and that's why the people in the village respected him so much.

Qian Laitou looked at the food sent by the villagers and silently hid his gratitude in his heart.

Normally, the two of them would not live off their savings just because someone sent them food.

Instead, he took Qian Guixiang with him and dug wild vegetables all over the mountains.

At the same time, when there was work to be done at other people's homes, Qian Laitou would go and help very promptly.

When Qian Lai Tou just turned eleven years old, he took the initiative to find the leader of the Qian clan to explain the situation.

He said that he can now take good care of his sister and is very grateful to the uncles and aunts for their support during this period.

But I won’t need to do that in the future, I can support my sister with my own hands.

Moreover, he remembers every help everyone has given him in the past.

When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely repay you all.

---

Time flies, and Qian Laitou, who was originally a child, has now become a father.

After having a wife and daughter, Qian Laitou became even more obsessed with money.

That's why he left his wife, daughter and sister behind and went out with Wang Wuhua for such a long time.

I just want to bet on myself and win a bright future.

After Qian Laitou opened the door, he looked at his daughter who was crawling around in the yard.

Qian Lai Tou's heart and eyes were full of love.

I didn’t expect that the child who couldn’t sit still when walking can now crawl everywhere.

"Daughter, Daddy is back!"

Qian Yang heard the sound and looked in the direction of the sound curiously.

He blinked and looked, seeming to find that he didn't know the strange person in front of him.

I cried out loud.

He was still calling Zhou Xi incoherently:

“Wow wow wow…

mother......

cold......"

Zhou Xi was originally in the room packing up Qian Yang's newly changed clothes, as well as bibs, diapers and other things.

I plan to go to the river to wash while the weather is good.

This way I can wear it tomorrow.

Seeing Qian Yang having fun in the yard, I thought I would just go in for a while and then come out.

It’s just a few steps away and the gate is closed anyway.

There is nothing dangerous in the yard.

Then there was no need to carry Qian Yang in.

Who knew that as soon as I entered the room and took the clothes in my hands, I heard Qian Yang crying in fright.

After hearing this, Zhou Xi hurried to the yard.

I was afraid that something might happen to Qian Yang.

When I ran to the door of the room, I saw Qian Laitou standing in the yard, at a loss.

Zhou Xi's eyes turned red instantly and he opened and closed his mouth but no words came out.

Qian Laitou hadn't noticed Zhou Xi coming out yet.

At this moment, his eyes are full of his daughter.

Looking at my daughter who was crying madly, I reached out to hug her and comfort her.

But when Qian Yang saw Qian Lai Tou getting closer and closer to him, he turned around and crawled away.

While quickly crawling towards the place where Zhou Xi had just left, he was still shouting:

"air......

mother......

Wow wow wow…”

The voice interrupted Zhou Xi's daze, so Zhou Xi quickly hugged Qian Yang in his arms.

Gently comforting Qian Yang, he said:

"Don't be afraid, Yangyang, it's Daddy!

Daddy is back!"

But Qian Yang, who was only a little over one year old, could not understand Zhou Xi at all. Even the word "dad" she just called was the one Qian Guixiang and Zhou Xi taught her to call every day.

And she herself didn't know what dad meant.

No matter what Zhou Xi said, Qian Yang just held Zhou Xi's collar tightly with both hands.

He lay on Zhou Xi's shoulder and refused to even look at Qian Lai Tou.

She was just a little better than before, and slowly stopped crying in Zhou Xi's arms.
