Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

The money has also been collected, and the Dragon King Temple has been built. The entire Qingzhou area is still miserable, and the hot and poisonous sun is still hanging in the sky.

The rice seedlings in the fields are all dead, the land is dry and cracked, and the green of the forest on the mountain is gradually fading.The villagers use their own well water carefully, for fear that if one is not careful, the well water will run out one day.

Those who fled from other places passed by the door of Mu's house, stretched out a bowl to beg for a drink of saliva, if the old, weak, sick and disabled, Cheng Mu tried to give the bowl of water to drink.

The strange thing is that the wild fruit tree planted in the yard came alive. Yun Yun just poured it with dishwashing water every day, and almost all the leaves fell off. Only two or three green leaves showed that the tree was still alive.

"This year's rice is considered white." Cheng Mu couldn't help sighing. The mountains in the distance should have been emerald green, but now they have turned into yellow turf.The hunger brought about by the drought has caused many people to leave their hometowns. There are also a few families in Linhe Village who can't live on, and have abandoned their families and children to seek a living.

"I'm worried that there won't be enough rice this year, and the next crop will have to wait until May next year."

"Don't worry, there must be a way."

Cheng Mu and Yun Yun were sitting under the eaves talking when they heard someone groaning outside the door.

Cheng Mu went out to check the situation first, and an old woman with a stooped body stretched out her withered hands and said, "Good-hearted people, let's enjoy the food."

The accent sounds like someone else's. Cheng Mu is not hard-hearted, but right now he can't get enough to eat, so how can he take care of others.

"Just a mouthful of food. I walked around this village, but I didn't even get a mouthful of water. Please, just give me some food."

Seeing the old woman's posture, Yun Yun's heart began to weaken. He couldn't stand this kind of begging, and was about to go into the house to get a steamed bun, but Cheng Mu grabbed him and shook his head at him.

"She will starve to death if she doesn't eat." Yun Yun wrote each word on Cheng Mu's hand.

"If one person comes to beg for food every day, the accumulation will add up, and in the end there will be no food for both of us. Ah Yun, people can be kind, but they can't always sympathize with others. Just like we gave those people water before, We help if we can, and if we can’t help, we can’t blame us for being cruel.”

This is equivalent to letting him watch others die, with his lover on one side and a life on the other.Yun Yun thought for a long time, and finally stopped. He let go of Cheng Mu's hand holding her, and poured a bowl of water from the bucket into the old woman's bowl.He shook his hand, signaling her to leave.

The well was dug very deep at the beginning, and it is still not bottomed out, but it is much more muddy than at the beginning, indicating that it is not far from the bottom.

At a time when water and food are precious, Yun Yun chose to give a bowl of water.

"Next time someone yells again, just go and dismiss them. I don't want to see them begging for help. I'm afraid I'll be soft-hearted again."

Cheng Mu looked at the whole village, there was no disaster relief food from the imperial court, and the government did not express anything. He did not expect that the Great Northern Dynasty had become so decadent.

That night, an uninvited guest came to the house. Cheng Mu opened the door and saw Mrs. Yunsun bringing Yun Wu. He didn't know whether to let them in or not.

"What's the matter, now that I'm married, my aunt doesn't even count?"

Cheng Mu looked at this domineering woman, and said respectfully, please come in.

Yun Yun in the room did not expect that her aunt would come again, and Yun Wu behind her was still wearing silk and satin that symbolized her status as a scholar.

Mrs. Yunsun sat directly on the bench, crossed her legs and said, "Ah Yun, Auntie is looking for you this time. There is indeed something wrong, otherwise I don't want to disturb your life."

Sitting next to Yun Yun, Cheng Mu wrote in Yun Yun's hand, don't worry, and took Yun Sun's words, "Are you here this time for something?"

"They are all relatives if they have nothing to do. Seeing this severe drought, the farmers can't get enough to eat. The land in my aunt's house has been rented out, and this year it was rented for nothing, and I didn't get a penny."

"Whether this land is rented or not, there will be no harvest this year." Cheng Mu said, this Yunsun family is a calculating person, and it shouldn't be that easy to come here today.Previously, she wished that Yun Yun could leave as soon as possible, but now she is paying hospitable visits, there must be something going on.

Mrs. Yunsun didn't feel any embarrassment, and continued, "Although this is the truth, but Wu'er went to the town to study this year, the expenses are huge. Although your uncle and I worked in the landlord's house, we didn't make much money. I don’t know how long this severe drought will last. It doesn’t matter if your uncle and I eat less. Wu’er is a scholar, and he will be full every time.” As he said, Yunsun wiped his tears, “God is not open, and the family is also There is no food, so I want to ask your family to borrow some, and I will pay you back when there is food next year."

This is true, borrow now and pay it back next year, but now the price of grain is sold at [-] cents per catty, and if you pay it back next year, it will cost three to five cents per catty. The difference in the price is not all money!Cheng Mu has seen through this aunt. A powerful person who only cares about himself knows that Yun Yun is kind, so he pretends to come forward to beg for sympathy.

"Auntie, it's not that we don't help you, and our family is almost in trouble. Whether we can survive this year is still a question."

Before Cheng Mu finished speaking, Yun Wu sat aside, shaking his fat body and said, "Mother, why do we come to beg them, I want to eat meat, what can they eat with this cheap rice. The master said, Just take good supplements."

Yun Wu also didn't pay attention to propriety when he spoke. As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Yun Sun gave her a quick look, and then smiled apologetically, "Wu'er is still young and doesn't understand these things. He was just talking nonsense just now."

The aunt's flattery, and her cousin who is twice as fat as her, Yun Yun was completely disappointed in this family.In adversity, relatives should help each other, but my aunt wears a silver hairpin and tells herself that there is no food. This is not a big joke.

"Don't give it to them." Yun Yun wrote on Cheng Mu's hand with her hands behind her back.

Cheng Mu had his own measure, "We really don't have any food at home, why don't you leave the two of us for a meal before leaving."

When Yunsun heard this, her face immediately changed, "Ah Yun, my aunt has raised a white-eyed wolf for so many years!"

"Aniang, there were chickens in the yard just now, why don't we eat chicken, I haven't eaten chicken for a long time." Yun Wu said, staring at the chickens in the yard.

Cheng Mu could still swallow this breath, but when he heard that they wanted to eat chicken, he suddenly became angry.

These five chickens were brought up under the careful care of Ah Yun. Before, the lawn mowers were scratched, just to save some fodder to raise chickens.When grinding two bags of wheat at home, Ah Yun carefully kept the bran, just for these chickens, and now they opened their mouths and said they wanted to eat it!

"In short, we don't have anything. If you want to go, go." Cheng Mu said bluntly, and he couldn't be soft on such scoundrels.

"Ah Yun, how can you be so ruthless." Mrs. Yunsun didn't have to pretend to be pitiful, she shouted directly, her hands were still tugging on Yun Yun's sleeve.

Yun Yun tugged at the sleeve, but Yun Sun didn't let go, and the other hand was also on Yun Yun's clothes.

"Let go quickly, or I'll just throw you out."

Seeing his aunt being besieged by the two, Yun Wu naturally didn't want to be outdone, and went straight to hit Cheng Mu, but Cheng Mu caught the fist with one hand and pushed Yun Wu aside.

Mrs. Yunsun saw that she couldn't beat him, and continued to curse, "Okay, you white-eyed wolves, thanks to me taking in A Yun, now you can't even bear a chicken, you just watch us starve to death, let me tell you, When one day Wu'er becomes an upright official, don't say that I turn my face against others! Hmph, Wu'er, let's go."

Mrs. Yunsun didn't get any benefits, so she led Yunwu out, cursing non-stop, until she was far away, the voice of cursing could not be heard.
