Escape from the Famine

Chapter 29
"Uncle, aunt, you are the ones who took care of us along the way. The eldest brother died to save us. Although we sold ourselves, we will give you old age for you two elders. We will treat you as your own parents!"

As they spoke, the two kowtowed in unison.

Chi Yu saw this scene in his eyes, and it was really rare for this family to be so harmonious until now.

Xiuju quickly helped up the two children, and shed tears when she thought of her dead son.

"My aunt knows that you are all good children with filial piety, and my aunt didn't dote on you in vain."

Xiuju thought about giving the money to the two brothers again, but in the end they couldn't help but put the money into her bosom.

Zhao Youcai stroked the messy hair of the two brothers affectionately, "You two will be fine in the future, don't worry about me and your aunt, we will go to Spring Valley together, and we will see each other from time to time."

"Yeah!" The two brothers nodded sharply.

Zhao Youcai clasped his hands together and saluted Chi Yu, "From now on, I'll leave it to Miss Yu."

After speaking, he supported his wife, and walked back to the Zhaojiacun resident with three steps.

The two brothers wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, and obediently helped Li Yi to pick up firewood.

From then on, they will start to follow the master, and they must work diligently.

Chi Yu nodded in satisfaction. These two children are malleable talents.

"Master, our team is getting stronger and stronger, and I will follow you to find food in the future."

Yinlin handed over all the deeds of sale to Chi Yudao.

Chi Yu didn't think there was anything, she could afford to support so many people, now that she had money, she could buy things in the mall, and she didn't lack for food.

What she lacks is talents. She didn't think of being too low-key when she arrived in Spring Valley. She needed people to help her with things.

If you want to live decently here, someone must have money, and she can't be the only one who wants to make money.

"Getting food is a piece of cake for me. You just need to take care of the baby. Start your knowledge today and teach him and those two children during the break."

Chi Yu has made a plan. Before she settles down, her energy to teach the baby is always limited. Letting them teach is a good way.

Yin Lin agreed, "It's the master! I will definitely teach the young master well."

The division of labor is arranged, and the meal is ready.

It was the first time for Chiyu to drink fish soup. Aunt Li's craftsmanship was undeniable. One bite of it was salty and sweet with a little bit of sweetness, and it was garnished with wild vegetables, which made people appetite just by looking at it.

The baby holds a wooden spoon in his hand, and occasionally drinks fish soup while eating rice by himself.

Chiyu was afraid that the fishbone would get stuck on the baby, so he specially picked the tender part of the fish maw for him to eat.

Yin Lin ate in silence, his eyes gradually turned red, how long has it been since he had a hot meal or a sip of hot soup?

It seems like a long, long time.

Li Yi and Aunt Li spent the longest time with Chi Yu, so eating became more natural.

It was the first time for Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu to have dinner with Chi Yu, so he seemed a little cautious.

I only eat rice in a bowl, rarely eat fish, and drink fish soup in small sips, not willing to drink too much at once.

"Children are growing up, eat more!"

"Listen well, I won't treat you harshly here, I will definitely make you all have enough to eat, and only when we have enough to eat will we have the strength to go on our way."

Chi Yu picked up a large piece of fish and put it into the bowls of the two brothers. She was not a pickpocket, she was not willing to let her own people eat enough.

"Thank you, master." Tears welled up in the eyes of the two brothers.

Yin Lin, Li Yi, and Aunt Li all ate in silence, remembering Chi Yu's kindness in their hearts.

All they can give their master is loyalty.

Where can they find such a good master?
Because of the large number of people on Zhao Gang's side, each person got less fish, and the most people still drank fish soup and ate porridge mixed with wild vegetables.

Seeing that Chi Yu was eating rice, the rest of Zhaojia Village didn't feel jealous, only Zhao Xiaoyan was unwilling.

So what if you are not reconciled?They were not from Zhaojia Village, so they couldn't control Chi Yu.

As soon as Zhao Xiaoyan's eyes rolled, she came up with an idea and approached the village head with a smile.

"Grandpa Village Chief, that Chiyu girl looks like a poor homeless person, why don't you let her join our Zhao Family Village? We just happen to be able to take care of her when we get to Spring Valley."

"How pitiful is a widow with a child? Without the protection of the villagers, she will definitely be bullied when she arrives in Spring Wind Valley."

The little abacus in Zhao Xiaoyan's heart was crackling.

As long as she joins Zhaojia Village, all her things will become the public property of Zhaojia Village, and if she is asked to drink gruel, she will have to eat gruel.

Why can she eat rice, but they can only drink porridge?
When the time comes, her carriage will also be the property of the village, and she can ride as long as she wants.

Zhao Gang was eating with the village chief, and when he looked up, he met Zhao Xiaoyan's winking eyes.

At that time, I was so frightened that I almost threw the bowl in my hand.

What happened to the girl from Uncle Shan's family?Never seen her like this before!
Before the village chief could speak, Zhao Gang spoke first, "This is not right. I asked Miss Yu at the beginning, and she was not willing to join our Zhaojia Village."

After taking a sip of the fish soup, he continued: "What's more, it's not us who are taking care of her now, but she is taking care of us! What we can do now is to obey the fish girl's arrangement and reach Spring Valley smoothly."

Zhao Gang's heart is like a mirror, and if he joins their Zhao Family Village, he is considered a member of their Zhao Family Village, and all arrangements must be followed by the village's arrangements.

The things in the hands of the fish girl should be shared equally with them, and those secular rules will also restrain her.

Miss Yu is not a woman who follows the rules at all, nor is she an ordinary woman in their village who only eats by looking at men's faces.

She is a soaring eagle, she can only fly freely in the sky, she is not suitable to be trapped in their small village.

The rules of this world are too strict for women. If you join a village, you have to abide by the rules that men are superior to women.

In the lightest cases, they hit the board and kneel in the ancestral hall, and in severe cases, they were immersed in a pig cage and died in Huangquan.

Zhao Gang didn't like these rules of the villagers, so he didn't want Chi Yu to be bound by these secular rules.

There are only a few dozen people left in their village. Maybe they don't have to follow those broken rules along the way, but it's hard to say when they settle down.

Zhao Quan also disagreed, he could see very clearly that the fish in the pond was not something in the pond, and Zhao Family Village was not a good place for her to return to.

All they can do now is to get along well with her. Maybe Zhaojiacun will be in trouble that day, but she can still look at the past and pull it off.

Zhao Quan waved his hand, "Xiaoyan, don't say these words again in the future, Miss Yu is our village's great benefactor, you should be grateful."

Zhao Quan has lived for more than 50 years, how can he not see Zhao Xiaoyan's little things?

Originally, he still wanted to match Zhao Xiaoyan and Zhao Gang, but now it seems that there is no need to think about this matter.

Zhao Xiaoyan is not good enough for a young man like Zhao Gang.
