The innocence and frankness of children always touch people's hearts.

She could feel Liu Caiyun's kindness and expressed her wishes without hesitation. She looked at the vicious people outside and knew that she would not have a good life if she stayed. Grandma kept telling her to be strong and live on, and she kept it in mind.

Liu Caiyun carried Xiaomei out of the house and ignored the quarrels among the others.

When the others saw this situation, they started fighting among themselves again.

"The house is mine. I came here first, and you won't be in line any more!"

"What do you mean you came first? It was obviously me who came first..."

"Bullshit, our family was here first!"

The external problems were solved, and the only people left were those within their group, and they started scrambling for houses again.

At this time, the people outside saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, so they left one after another.

Several of the aunts and men who came with Liu Caiyun had left, leaving only Aunt Hu, the village chief's wife. She stood in front of Liu Caiyun and her sisters and spoke earnestly.

"Sister Liu, you have to think it through. We are fleeing from famine! It's not easy for you to take care of a weak little girl."

She is also a kind person, but it is not easy to raise a child in years of famine.

"Aunt Hu, she is so pitiful. I just couldn't help myself. Now that I have decided to take her away, I don't regret it. I will do my best to take good care of her. Don't worry." Liu Caiyun said to the other people who were still arguing.

"I'm only taking some of her clothes and the food that originally belonged to her. I don't want the house. You can take it if you want, but you can't stop me from taking her things. I'm not a vegetarian!"

Liu Caiyun hugged Xiaomei, who was lying on her shoulders obediently, looking at the group of people. What else did the man want to say? Liu Caiyun kicked the millstone in the yard, and it was kicked out as easily as straw.

These people shut up instantly!

Liu Caiyun just looked around the house and found only some sweet potatoes and dried wild vegetables. In fact, there were not many other things. These were probably saved by the old woman with great difficulty. Fortunately, this place was not far from the mountains, otherwise the grandmother and granddaughter would have died long ago.

She really doesn't like these things, but she doesn't want to give them away to these greedy people.

"Who knows if you'll abandon her after taking the food away! We're willing to take the child in if she stays!"

Those people are greedy. They don't want to miss the opportunity to take advantage and want to fight for it.

Leaving the child to her would be like walking into a tiger's mouth. Since Liu Caiyun had made up her mind to take the little girl away, she definitely didn't want to get entangled with them so much, so she threatened them directly.

"Then I will go to the city to report to the police and ask them to investigate how grandma died." Liu Caiyun did not forget to cover Xiaomei's ears while speaking.

Sure enough, after hearing that she was going to report to the police, the group of people whispered something and agreed with her.

"Go and clean it up, but you can't take anything else in the room!"

When the village chief's wife saw that Liu Caiyun had decided to take the little girl away, she also stayed to help clean up.

Cao Hongmei whispered in Liu Caiyun's ear, "I know where grandma keeps her things!"

Liu Caiyun asked everyone to go out while she packed some clothes.

"We'll watch you clean up!" Some people were still unwilling to give up, fearing that she would take one more thing. In fact, the house was clear at a glance, and apart from some furniture, there was nothing extra.

Liu Caiyun opened a wooden box, in which the clothes of the grandparents and grandchildren were neatly placed. Liu Caixia then found a bed sheet, spread it out, and put all the clothes in it.

It seems that this family lived a good life before the famine, otherwise they wouldn't have three such big rooms and the furniture in the house would not be bad.

Liu Caiyun hugged Cao Hongmei and took out two gray cloth bags from the two places she pointed. She didn't even open them and packed them together with the clothes, not caring whether others saw them or not.

These people also saw it, but after a struggle, they managed to endure it because of the force Liu Caiyun had just demonstrated and the threat of going to the newspaper office.

Liu Caiyun didn't care about their little tricks and just hugged Cao Hongmei, and the village head's wife helped her carry the bag.

Then he went to another room and found some millet, cornmeal and a few small bags of other beans in a hole under a bed. The total weight was about two or three pounds. He packed the sweet potatoes and dried wild vegetables, and the total weight was about 20 pounds. He packed them all without even looking at the other people's faces and left without looking back.

When the others saw the harvested grain, some wanted to regret their decision, but at this time the village chief of Hujia Village brought a few men to pick up Liu Caiyun and the others and let them leave.

When the village chief heard from the people who had returned that Liu Caiyun wanted to take the little girl away, he called on the men in the village to come with tools to help.

The village chief was afraid that this group of refugees would make things difficult for Liu Caiyun. Fortunately, she came, otherwise Liu Caiyun would have to go through a lot of trouble to take away the food she had collected.

Sometimes, strength is king, no matter how much reason you talk, it’s all bullshit!

Liu Caiyun came back and told her father about the situation. She knew that it was wrong for her to bring the little girl back without consulting them, but she also believed that her father and mother would support her. But she was still thinking about explaining, and her mother spoke directly.

"Caiyun, since you have decided to take in this little girl, we will definitely support you. You don't need to explain. We are a family. Besides, we can afford to raise a little girl. We don't mind this little thing."

Liu Caixia also said, "Sister, what are you thinking? We definitely support your decision! Hurry up and comfort her. She just lost her only relative and must be feeling very insecure now. Leave the rest to us."

Jiang Xiaolu quietly took out a candy from the space and gave it to Liu Caiyun, "Aunt, give it to my sister!"

Liu Caiyun took the candy, peeled it quickly and fed it to Cao Hongmei. After following Liu Caiyun back, Cao Hongmei stopped crying obediently. She couldn't make things difficult for her aunt, and she wanted to follow this aunt.

At this time, seeing the small thing handed over, she knew it was food. She did not reach out to take it directly, but looked up at Liu Caiyun and Jiang Xiaolu. Liu Caiyun felt even more distressed when she saw her cautious look, and directly peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into Xiaomei's mouth, "Xiaomei, this is the candy given by sister Xiaolu, you can eat it! Remember to thank sister Xiaolu!"

"Thank you, Sister Xiaolu!"

When Cao Hongmei put the candy in her mouth, she immediately felt a sweet taste that she had never tasted before.

The taste was different from the candies she had eaten before. She was reluctant to chew it and slowly and carefully sucked the candy to taste it.
