Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 23 Food can only be sold to you in part
"It looks like a shame."

When the little woman said this, the others stared at Jiang Zhilan and Chen Zhicai who was resting not far away with strange eyes.

This counts the days, and it has indeed been one or two months. This matter is really uncertain.

All of a sudden, everyone's expressions were different, and their eyes were as if they wanted to stare Jiang Zhilan out a hole.

With a complex expression, Jiang Zhilan touched her lower abdomen with her hands.

With... Her and Brother Chen's child, it's her and Brother Chen's child!
Thinking of everyone's ridicule for her this past month, Jiang Zhilan's eyes gradually became firm.

It's true that the heavens are helping her. She must use this child to marry Brother Chen.

"What, there is!" Zhou said in shock when she came back to her senses.

Mrs. Zhou said in a panic: "Oh, what's wrong with this, my daughter is not married yet, so I can't bring a small oil bottle."

Jiang Zhilan was thinking about how to attract Chen Zhicai, when the 'kind' aunt covered her mouth and smiled.

"How can it be considered as an oil bottle? Your family Zhilan is very lucky. The child in her womb is Chen Xiucai's first child."

Someone covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Then Chen Xiucai's mother, Mrs. Li, has wanted a golden grandson for a long time. She must appoint this child."

"Chen Xiucai took our girl's body, and she's pregnant, so it's not something that can be spent with a few hundred catties of grain." Several women kept trying to persuade Jiang Zhilan with excuses.

The same is true when Zhou thinks about it. Although their family asked for two hundred catties of food from the Chen family earlier, it was just an apology for his ruining her daughter's innocence.

This is another price to be pregnant.

"Yes, I am a good girl, how can I spend two hundred catties of food!"

With that said, Mrs. Zhou pulled Jiang Zhilan, who had recovered, to stand up.

The women watching the theater nearby also surrounded Zhou and Jiang Zhilan and walked in the direction of the Chen family.

Sitting not far from the crowd, the Jiang family saw the people in the Jiang family village making a fuss again.

Mrs. Sun is a very lively person, as long as she is not watching the excitement of her own family, she is indispensable everywhere.

But this has become like this with the people in the village. Isn't it good to watch the excitement in the past now?

"What's the matter?" Sun said, standing up and looking into the crowd.

Sun looked around, and finally pulled Jiang Zhiyue and said: "Yue girl, let's go, let's go and see the excitement."

Seeing Sun's excited look, Jiang Zhiyue didn't refuse, and walked along with her strength.

……

After the excitement was over, Mrs. Sun took Jiang Zhiyue's arm and came back.

After returning, I couldn't help but share what I just saw.

"Didn't you see that Zhou Shi took her daughter to Chen's house to make a fuss just now, that's Chen Xiucai's house."

"Jiang Zhilan's girl is pregnant, she was surprised to be seen just now."

"..."

"That girl was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, so she just kept saying that Chen Xiucai was not to blame."

"Oh, that pitiful spirit, it's so heartbreaking to see."

"At first Li's eyes were straightened when she heard that Jiang Zhilan was pregnant with a child, but she still refused to let go, saying that her son's first wife already exists. If Jiang Zhilan wants to enter the house, she has to be a child."

"..."

Mrs. Sun couldn't stop opening her mouth, and Barabara explained what happened just now.

Looking at it, Jiang Zhiyue felt that she almost acted out the excitement of several mouths just now with one mouth.

"Then Zhou Shi agreed like this?"

"That's definitely not the case. In the end, I asked for a bag of food from the Chen family." Sun went on to say, "I think Mrs. Li is waiting to have a grandson. If the girl's baby is not a boy, I don't think it's a big deal." Have a good time."

Jiang Zhiyue listened to what her second aunt said, and thought of Jiang Zhilan's superb acting skills just now, so she had to say a word of admiration.

If Jiang Zhilan hadn't had time to give her a glare when she was out of breath from crying, she would have believed it.

But what surprised Jiang Zhiyue the most was Chen Zhicai's reaction.

As cold-blooded as the original book.

It was Chen Zhicai's mother, Li Shi, who agreed to Jiang Zhilan's entry into Chen's family just now, and Chen Zhicai didn't agree or disagree.

But in the name of caring about Jiang Zhilan, he said that he asked her to abort the child because he was afraid that she would suffer on the way to escape with a big belly.

But in the end he was stopped by his mother.

Mrs. Li has been waiting to have a grandson for an unknown amount of time, and it's so hard to get one, how could she agree.

Jiang Zhilan was naturally unwilling, she originally planned to use the child as a bargaining chip to marry Chen Zhicai, how could she agree to abort the child.

So when Chen Zhicai told her to abort the child, he acted moved.

But he said: "I know Brother Chen loves me, but this child is Brother Chen's flesh and blood, how can I be willing to... woo woo woo."

Jiang Zhilan cried so much that she wanted to pout her breath.

Fearing that she would hurt the baby in her womb if she cried too much, Li quickly told her to come in as a concubine.

Jiang Zhilan agreed after thinking about it.

Although being a concubine sounds bad, she was the first woman that Brother Chen entered the door.

Besides, anything can happen on the way to escape from famine, it's hard to say whether Big Brother Chen's fiancée is still alive.

She is already close to the water.

Jiang Zhiyue and her second aunt came back at this time, so I don't know what happened next.

In just one noon, Jiang Zhilan changed from Jiang's daughter to Chen's concubine.

After resting for a while, everyone stood up again and started on their way.

Wang Fengshou, who was walking in the middle, quickly walked a few steps and caught up with Jiang Yuchao.

"Brother Yu Zhao, are there any mountains or relatively large forests near here? The water we brought out is almost used up, so we need to find a place to add some water."

In everyone's mind, Jiang Yuchao is the most knowledgeable person, and we can only ask him about this matter.

Jiang Yuchao, who was asked, thought about the topographic map in his mind, and remembered that there was indeed a mountain range in this area on the map.

But it still takes two or three days.

He said: "Yes, but it will take two or three days at the latest. How much water do we have?"

Hearing the affirmative answer, Wang Fengshou laughed and said, "There is still water left, so I can save it for two more days."

"That's good." Jiang Yuchao said with a smile.

It may be that we have walked far, and the pedestrians we met on the road have gradually increased.

There are very few people in groups, but more families come out alone.

But it seems that their condition is not very good, their lips are chapped, and their faces are flushed from the sun.

Because of hunger, the cheeks were thinned down.

Seeing a large number of people coming, the eyes of those pedestrians lit up.

There is no other reason. The cart they pushed seemed to be full of grain.

Someone's eyes were red from hunger, and their eyes kept wandering on the carts of Jiang's family and the villagers behind.

But seeing so many people in Jiangjia Village behind, he shifted his target to Jiangjia.

They have relatively few people and have the most things.

At first glance, there were not even twenty people, but there were three ox carts and three carts.

For a moment, their eyes were like hungry wolves staring at their prey.

Jiang Hengrong watched from behind, and immediately slowed down.

Since they don't want to come back, let them suffer.

When their food was about to be robbed, he would lead the people in the village to act.

He didn't believe that the Jiang family could hand over the food without being grateful to Dade.

The other people in Jiangjia Village were nervously looking at the pedestrians who appeared in front of them, fearing that they would rush up to snatch them if they were hungry.

So he didn't notice that Jiang Hengrong slowed down.

The Jiang family's group had already pulled out the knife that was covered by something on the car.

Everyone looked around warily.

They were less flustered after one experience.

Instead, the people in Jiangjia Village and the nearby refugees saw them each holding a knife and were frightened to stop.

Many refugees were scared back, but they walked not far, and still met people who wanted to "seek wealth and wealth".

Several waves of refugees gathered in twos and threes, and within a short while there were nearly thirty people gathered, all of them men.

Some people were holding big knives that they didn't know where to find, but more people were holding kitchen knives and sickles.

After seeing that the people in the village behind and the family in front seemed to be different.

They looked fiercely at the Jiang family.

The refugees who gathered together looked at the Jiang family's team covetously.

The eyes are full of greed and all-or-nothing ferocity.

There were even a few people who stared leeringly at Jiang Zhiyue up and down.

Apart from the small group of people who gathered and the people from Jiangjia Village behind, there were only scattered people who stayed far away for fear of harming themselves.

"Hand over your food." A thick-skinned middle-aged man stood in front of the Jiang family.

Jiang Yuchao and Jiang Yuqing stood in front of them, their eyes were not afraid, and they directly rejected them with their actions.

"We don't make it difficult for you, you can leave a cart of food, but we want the rest of the food and that girl." Said a man who never took his eyes off Jiang Zhiyue.

The man added viciously: "Otherwise, we will have to take both people and food."

"If we wait for us to catch it ourselves, then it's not a matter of asking for a woman!"

"Hahaha, I saw that the three older ones look pretty good too. Didn't there be one sitting on the bullock cart with a big belly just now? Grab that one and let the brothers have a good time."

A few men spoke nasty words, completely ignoring Jiang Yu who was in front of them.

Although the members of the Jiang family all had knives in their hands, the twenty or so people gathered didn't take them seriously at all.

There are quite a few old and weak women and children, and the few remaining men don't look like they can fight.

Most of the knives in their hands came from somewhere.

Jiang Zhiyue felt uncomfortable being stared at by those men's greasy and disgusting eyes.

Her expression became serious, and her mental strength quickly shot towards those men who were full of nasty words.

"Ahh! My head... my head hurts so much."

The people who spoke more and more bluntly and harshly just now fell to their knees on the ground.

He clenched his hands into fists and beat his head repeatedly.

"Help, my head, don't bite me don't bite me!"

Several other people were lying on the ground and rolling around, scratching the skin of their bodies with their hands.

Jiang Zhiyue sneered, this is the first big gift for them.

She not only attacked them with mental power just now, but also created a little hallucination for them.

Seeing them lying on the ground crying and rolling, the depressed mood just now was much better.

She took out a small dagger from her arms and walked slowly over.

Those who were still standing looked at the "new brother" who was rolling on the ground, and at Jiang Zhiyue who walked over calmly.

For some reason, I suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

The tall and thick man who just shouted took a step back.

He raised the kitchen knife in his hand to face Jiang Zhiyue to embolden himself.

"Stop, and don't blame me if you go any further!"

Jiang Zhiyue didn't give him a look at all, what she has to deal with now is the rubbish lying on the ground!
Seeing that Jiang Zhiyue was still walking forward, the man suppressed the inexplicable fear rising in his heart, and rushed forward with a knife.

But before she got close, Jiang Zhiyue kicked him away.

After the man flew upside down, a fat little boy ran over crying, "Daddy, Daddy, are you okay?"

Seeing his father gasping in pain, the little boy rushed over like Jiang Zhiyue like a calf.

"Fatty, come back quickly!" The woman who was helping the man up saw her son rushing towards Jiang Zhiyue, and her body was covered in cold sweat.

That little boy was only as tall as Jiang Zhiyue's thighs, and he bent over and pushed his head against Jiang Zhiyue's body.

"You bad woman, you actually bullied my father!"

Jiang Zhiyue was about to give a lesson to those who had just uttered dirty words when she saw this little boy rushing over.

What she likes most on weekdays is the soft-looking child, so she didn't hit him hard.

She raised one hand and grabbed the little fat man's head to stop him from moving forward.

But the little fat man's two hands kept moving forward like a perpetual motion machine, wanting to hit her.

Jiang Zhiyue looked up and glanced in the direction of the man and woman, and said expressionlessly, "Come and take him away."

The man quickly endured the pain and pushed the woman, telling her to bring the child back quickly.

After the little fat man was taken away, Jiang Zhiyue looked at the rest of the people who were stunned and asked, "Where are you guys, should you go away by yourself or let me help you?"

A few people stepped aside knowingly, but there were still a few who stared at Jiang Zhiyue's movements with weapons in their hands.

"We have a lot of people, even if she is a little girl, no matter how good she is, she can't beat so many of us. Let's do it together."

The rest of the people were overwhelmed and said, "Yes, let's do it together and catch this dead girl in exchange for food. If there are fewer people, we can each share more food!"

Several people surrounded Jiang Zhiyue.

But before they could make a move, they were kicked out one by one.

However, it was obviously more forceful than kicking the fleshy man just now.

Several people spit out a few mouthfuls of blood after falling to the ground, looking shocking.

When Jiang Zhiyue was cleaning up the others, she didn't notice that it was time for her mental power to work suddenly.

The men who were still screaming on the ground just now looked at each other, picked up the knife and stabbed Jiang Zhiyue's leg calmly.

Jiang Zhiyue couldn't dodge in time, and his clothes were torn by those people.

"Sigh~"

Jiang Zhiyue took a deep breath, and felt that the sickle in a man's hand had scratched her skin, and even planned to go deeper.

Jiang Zhiyue's face darkened, she was really careless, and they actually succeeded.

She quickly retracted her injured leg, then grabbed the sickle from the man's hand and stabbed it into his thigh.

"Ahhh!!! How dare you little bitch...ahhhh!"

Hearing the screams that came out of her mouth, Jiang Zhiyue didn't stop, but pulled out the knife and stabbed it in again.

It wasn't until the swearing in his mouth turned into non-stop begging for mercy that Jiang Zhiyue let him go and replaced him with someone else to torture him.

The others watched Jiang Zhiyue brutally 'torture' those people, and took two steps back in fear.

The first man who was thrown out and the few people who voluntarily withdrew swallowed hard.

Terrible. Terrible.

She must have shown mercy to me just now.

While Jiang Zhiyue was teaching these people a lesson, those who wanted to catch her and threaten the Jiang family with food also ran away secretly.

But before running away, he gave Jiang Zhiyue a hard look, and no matter how he looked at it, he had malicious intentions.

After Jiang Zhiyue returned to the Jiang family, she saw the backs of those people who had just left in a hurry.

But she didn't have time to talk to them now, because she was dragged into the cart by her grandma and mother just as she walked back.

Seeing that the injury on her leg was not that serious, the two of them were relieved, but they still cleaned her wound quickly and bandaged it up.

But the people outside were obviously not as calm as they were.

People in Jiangjia Village recalled Jiang Zhiyue's 'violence' just now with lingering fear.

She dared to stab someone with a knife. Originally, they were waiting for Jiang Zhiyue to be embarrassed. They never expected that things would turn out like this.

They were still thinking...and thinking that if the Jiang family didn't give them the food, they planned to threaten them.

However, Jiang Zhiyue dared to go in with a white knife and out with a red knife.

If they threaten Jiang Xiucai's family, will they suffer the same fate as those people!
In an instant, many people dismissed the partnership to force Jiang Xiucai's family to hand over the food.

Save some food, their food can still last for a long time.

But some people thought of the key point.

Jiang Zhilan, who had been waiting for Jiang Zhiyue to be dragged away by those men, was very upset at the moment.

She pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah, sister Zhiyue and the others both have knives in their hands, so the two extra carts they have left cannot be..."

"Maybe it's robbing someone else's. Sure enough, the whole family is crazy, even grabbing life-saving food at this time." Mrs. Wu took the opportunity to answer.

Hearing this, many people looked strangely at the Jiang family and his party.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiucai's family, who are usually friendly to others, would do such a thing.

After solving these people blocking the way, the Jiang family planned to leave.

Although Jiang Zhiyue only got a small cut on her leg, Mrs. Jiang didn't want her to walk no matter what.

In desperation, he had to sit on the shaft of the car.

Just as they were about to leave, the big-bodied man who had just been kicked away by Jiang Zhiyue walked to the Jiang family's ox cart with his wife and children.

It happened that the bullock cart that Jiang Zhiyue was riding in was the first one, and when she saw the man who stopped him again, she wondered if she had acted too lightly just now.

Seeing that Jiang Zhiyue's face suddenly turned cold, the man knew that she had misunderstood, so he quickly said with a smile on his face.

"Girl, can you sell us some of your food? Our family has not eaten for a day. Please show me kindness."

Seeing someone taking the lead, some people who were far away just now tried to take a few steps forward.

Seeing their pleading expressions, Jiang Zhiyue's heart softened a little.

Anyway, the two extra carts of food they got is also a burden, so it's better to sell them.

She is burdened with infinite space but can't do anything. Now that she has encountered it, if it is not too much, she is not willing to help.

Jiang Zhiyue looked around and found that there were only a few people left.

There are less than forty of these people together, and they all look miserable.

They were all looking at her earnestly, just like the man who spoke just now.

It seemed that Jiang Zhiyue's next answer was crucial.

The fact is indeed the case, not only those passers-by are waiting for her answer, but even the people of the Jiang family village, who deliberately separated a short distance from the Jiang family, moved to this side after hearing it.

They still thought that Jiang Xiucai's family could give them this food!
If that girl really agreed to sell the food to those refugees, what would they do!

Jiang Zhiyue hesitated for a moment before saying embarrassingly, "Although we have a lot of food, we also have a lot of family members."

Hearing this, those hopeful people thought that there was no hope, and their eyes dimmed.

But the turnaround is so fast.

Jiang Zhiyue went on to say: "So the food can only be sold to you partly."
