Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

The next morning, after Lu You and her two siblings finished their meal, they went out and headed towards the village.

The original third uncle's house was in the center of Heyuan Village. The three of them met many elders from the same village on the way. They greeted them all the way and it took about a quarter of an hour to arrive at the door of the third uncle's house.

Because Lu Deyin took on the responsibility of supporting the two elderly people when the family was divided, he has always lived in the Lu family's ancestral home. The entire yard is very large, and there are six houses.

As soon as Lu You arrived at the door, he saw his original third uncle Lu Deyin sitting on a chair and sharpening a sickle.

Lu Deyin is only 29 years old this year, but his dark face is already covered with wrinkles. If compared with modern people, his appearance looks like that of a middle-aged man in his forties.

"Uncle Three!"

Standing at the door, Lu You called softly.

Lu Deyin, who was sharpening his knife, looked up and saw that it was Lu You and the other two, and quickly stood up.

"Why are you here? Come in!"

Lu Deyin wiped his hands on the bottom of his clothes, then turned and looked into the house.

"Dad! Mom! Look who's here!"

"What are you yelling about so early in the morning? Dad just finished taking his medicine..."

Following Lu Deyin's shout, the original third aunt Feng walked out of the door. She was also slightly stunned when she saw Lu You and his two siblings.

"What day is today? Why are you all here?"

After saying this, Feng realized that he had said something wrong, and then hurriedly looked at Lu Deyin beside him.

"Boss! Don't just stand there like an idiot! Hurry up and pack up your things and make room for the children to sit!"

Lu Deyin suddenly realized what was going on and quickly turned around to pick up the sickle and grindstone on the stool, while Feng turned around and went back into the house again.

"Uncle San! Stop busying yourself, we'll be leaving in a moment!"

Seeing Lu Deyin's flustered look, Lu You hurriedly spoke.

But Lu Deyin threw the sickle and grindstone aside.

"No rush! It's rare for you three sisters to come together, so stay a little longer and finish lunch before leaving!"

Looking at Lu Deyin's honest appearance, Lu You sighed secretly in his heart.

It’s not surprising that Uncle and Auntie reacted this way. It’s just that they come too rarely.

Although the two families lived in the same village, they seldom interacted with each other on a daily basis. This was naturally because the old man and the old lady were partial to each other when they divided the family, which made Feng unhappy.

However, later on, Lu Dejin passed the imperial examination and got school land. He returned the land he had received when the family was divided to his third uncle's family, and the matter was over.

The main reason why the siblings rarely come together is that there is not enough food.

Because their mother passed away early, it was always Feng who helped take care of Lu You and her four siblings, so they were very attached to Feng in the beginning.

But later, when Lu Yi was older and could eat by himself, Lu Dejin strictly forbade them to come to his uncle's house.

After all, although the children are small and look insignificant, if all four of them come to eat and drink for free, the expenses will be quite high.

When they grew up, Lu You and her siblings began to share the household expenses.

Copying books, chopping wood, and working in the fields, he worked hard every day and had no time to visit others.

As far as Lu You's memory is concerned, she herself came here very seldom. Basically, except for the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year, she had never been to this yard again.

One of the reasons is of course that the original body was weak and introverted, but the most important reason is that the old man and the old lady favor boys over girls.

Over the years, whenever the old man and the old lady wanted to eat something bad, they would secretly call Lu Ming and Lu Yi over.

As for Lu You and his elder sister Lu Yao, they have never received such treatment.

According to the old lady, these two are money-losing goods and are outsiders who are impossible to tame.

Lu You was recalling the memories of his original body when Feng came out of the main room, supporting a skinny old man.

"Go and help Grandpa!"

Seeing the old man's unsteady steps, Lu You hurriedly gave instructions to Lu Yi.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi quickly stepped forward and carefully held the old man's arm. Lu Deyin, who was next to him, even moved a chair and placed it behind the old man.

"Dad, please sit down."

As the old man sat down, the original grandmother also came out of the house.

"As a sister, you are not as sensible as your brother. You just stand there like an idiot!"

[Negative emotions from Wang +30, +30, +30...]

Listening to the prompt sound in his mind, Lu Yo was filled with question marks.

She asked Lu Yi to support the old man because she knew she was not welcome. Why was she the one who got scolded?

Isn’t this old lady unreasonable?

"Grandma is right! I am not as good as Xiaoyi, Luming, or even your precious grandson Lu Sanhu!"

[Negative emotions from Wang +50, +50, 50...]

With Lu You's obviously teasing words, the system income suddenly increased.

"I think you are going to rebel!" said the old lady and walked towards Lu You.

On the side, Feng saw the old lady's face change, and hurriedly stepped in front to stop her.

"Mom, Luyou only comes a few times a year! What are you doing?"

"She's a loser, and she dares to argue with me. If I don't hit her, she won't know what respect for elders and juniors is!"

Although the old lady was very old, she burst out with great strength at this moment.

Feng was afraid of hurting the old lady, so she didn't dare to stop him with force. After a few attempts, the old lady actually came close to Lu You.

Looking at the noisy old lady in front of him, Lu You sighed helplessly.

Seeing the dry hand reaching towards him, Lu You gently raised his right hand.

With this, not only did the old lady stop her hands, but even the system prompt sound stopped abruptly.

"You...what do you mean?"

Looking at the shiny piece of silver between Lu You's fingers, the old lady said hesitantly.

"What else could it mean?" Lu You said, shaking the silver in his hand with a smile, "I'm here to give you money!"

[Negative emotions from Wang +1, +1, +1...]

Listening to the system prompt sound again, Lu You secretly sighed that money is indeed a good thing.

Under the bombardment of money, the only negative emotion left is the old lady's last stubbornness, right?

Lu You placed the one or two taels of silver in the old lady's hand and bowed.

"Grandma, you are so old now, don't get angry for no reason, otherwise you will hurt your body and it will be a burden to your uncle and aunt."

"Is it true..." The old lady's attention was all on the silver at the moment, and she didn't listen to Lu You's pressure at all.

"It's true! Lu You wanted to give it to me once a few days ago, when he delivered meat oil and lard to us."

Third Aunt Feng explained, then reached out and snatched the silver from the old lady's hand, turned around and stuffed it into Lu You's hand again.

"You kid, I told you we don't want this money, why are you giving it to us again?"
