Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 9 Only Help My Family

Du Mudan saw that her clothes and hair were a little messed up, Yuhe was worse than her, but Sun slapped her a lot without any worries.

Jiang Xiaoming lay on the ground looking lifeless, just now Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang were so fierce that they dared to covet their sister, they should be beaten.

Du Mudan turned her head and saw her son lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive, and cried heartbreakingly, "Ah, I'm going to fight you guys!"

After speaking, they found the direction of Xiao Wang who was standing aside and rushed. The Jiang family was startled. Some people stood in front of Xiao Wang to protect her, while others ran in the direction of Du Mudan to stop her.

The child in Xiao Wang's womb is only four months old, and it's hard to say whether he can keep it if he is hit like that.

Angry in Jiang Zhiyue's heart, she grabbed Xiao Wang who was next to her, and then kicked Du Mudan who was bumping into her.

With a bang, Du Mudan fell to the ground and kicked up the dust on the ground.

Jiang Zhiyue had lost all her strength when she kicked someone just now. One can imagine how lethal this kick was. Du Mudan lay on the ground and coughed several times, spitting out a big mouthful of blood.

Frightened by Jiang Zhiyue's ruthless behavior, the surrounding villagers took two steps back, and the crowd fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly, the sound of wheels rolling and a voice that sounded extraordinarily excited broke the silence.

"Why are you all around, grandma, my eldest brother and I brought two carts, let's bring more food back from the loser's house." It was Jiang Xiaoming's second son, Jiang Jiangmao, who called.

The crowd was silent, Jiang Zhiyue sneered and looked at the three lying on the ground in different postures.

The crowd automatically moved out of the way, and Jiang Jiangmao and his elder brother Jiang Jiangsheng walked in pushing a scooter.

The surrounding villagers looked at the two carts pushed by the Jiang brothers with complicated emotions. What did they think that they even pushed two carts? It is estimated that the Jiang family would have no food after the two carts were pulled.

It can only be said that Sun's natal family is really shameless, and it was right to beat them!

The Jiang brothers were stunned when they saw Jiang Xiaoming lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, Yuhe whose face was swollen from being fanned, and Du Mudan whose mouth was still bloody.

The two put down the cart and rushed over to help the nearest Jiang Xiaoming up.

"Father, what's going on, why were you beaten up like this?" Jiang Jiangsheng asked, shaking Jiang Xiaoming's head.

As soon as Jiang Xiaoming wanted to speak, his brain started to hurt, so he had to close his mouth, but Jiang Jiangsheng kept shaking, rolled his eyes and passed out.

"Losing money, my father came to ask you to get food, why don't you stop him when he was beaten at your door." Jiang Jiangsheng saw that he couldn't find anything, so he vented his anger on Mrs. Sun.

The two Jiang family brothers had never met Mrs. Sun several times, and it was only by ear that they would call her to lose money so confidently.

Sun spat on the ground: "Damn, if he doesn't faint, I can give him two more slaps."

Jiang Jiangmao looked at Mrs. Sun in disbelief, and said angrily, "You lose money, you are as heartless as my grandma said."

Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes at him, listening to what he said, her heart was not disturbed. If she said that she still longed for that kind of family affection before, she would still be sad, but now she has figured it out, and she will live a good life in Jiang's house.

"Oh grandma's precious grandson, it was his family who beat us, you two should avenge your father." Du Mudan lay on the ground and yelled.

The two of them suddenly rushed to their hearts with enthusiasm, and rushed towards Sun without even thinking about it.

In their hearts, Mrs. Sun is a money-loser who is willing to beat and scold, and she must not dare to fight back.

Jiang Zhiyue cursed idiots in her heart, and said to Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang, "Eldest brother and second brother, teach them a lesson, don't beat them to death, and they will drag the three on the ground back later."

"Let them also improve their memory. What is the end of insulting our family at the door of our Jiang's house?"

She was still supporting the frightened little Wang, otherwise she would have to teach them a lesson, but she just happened to take a look at the recent training of her elder brother and second brother.

"Okay." Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang looked at each other, clenched their fists and walked to the opposite of the Jiang family brothers. After a while, they were beaten and screamed, begging for mercy.

The two brothers of the Jiang family were honest and honest. They were very persuasive and moved to the Jiang Xiaoming three of them to the board and pushed away.

The onlookers were stunned, and some people who wanted to take the opportunity to 'borrow' some food from the Jiang family also put their minds down.

Mr. Jiang stood up and said, "If you have nothing else to do, you should go away. If you have too much housework, we won't let you drink tea."

After speaking, he followed Jiang's house into the yard, and the gate was closed to block the sight from the outside.

In the yard, Mrs. Jiang thought about the situation just now, and said sadly: "There are many people in our family who want to come to grab food. Your father's family has few people, so I don't know if there is anything."

She was talking about Xiao Wang's father, Wang Fugui, who was also her elder brother.

The Wang family had few heirs, so her mother gave birth to her eldest brother and her two children, and her elder sister-in-law also left early, leaving Xiao Wang and another son Wang Fengshou.

Wang Fengshou's heir became even thinner, and now there is only one child Wang Hao under his knees, so now there are only four members of the Wang family.

There is no one in the family to guard the farm, and the villagers must have seen them when they harvested the grain. If there is any accident...

Jiang Zhiyue thought about the current situation, and suggested: "Why don't we take them here first, we can still live there if we squeeze together."

Anyway, they have lived here for a while, and the common people can't wait for the government to open a warehouse to release food. It is estimated that chaos will arise in a few days.

She looked at her mother, Mrs. Zhang, and asked, "Mother, let's go to grandma's house in a while, and tell them about the current situation and see what their plans are."

"Okay." Mrs. Zhang said, and a big stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Although her natal family is not small, if the villagers really think about it, they may not be able to stop it.

After saying this, Jiang Zhiyue told everyone what he saw in the county again, and said, "I don't think the imperial court will be concerned about the situation here for a while. We have to be prepared to leave at any time."

Everyone nodded seriously.

There was no time to rest, so Jiang Yulai immediately went out to Wang's Village, and Jiang Zhiyue went to Zhang's Village with Mrs. Zhang.

When Jiang Zhiyue came back in the evening, the yard was bustling with activity, and there were still a few unfamiliar faces. It seemed that Jiang Yulai had brought back the people there.

Seeing Jiang Zhiyue and Mrs. Zhang coming back, Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it, what did your mother say?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "I told my mother and the others. They said that if there is any situation, they will definitely come to us. Don't worry."

"Okay, then I can rest assured." Mrs. Jiang said patting her heart.

Then he continued: "The third child came back earlier than you. There are few of them, and they are afraid of something happening. When the third child went to tell them to pack up their things, they immediately followed them."

"That's good. No matter what happens, we can do everything." Mrs. Zhang answered with a smile.

More than ten days have passed since the plague of locusts, and under the appeasement of the county magistrate, the mood of the people has gradually stabilized from the initial panic.

However, there is still no news that the warehouse will be opened to release grain. Instead, another major event happened.

An earthquake occurred in the north of King Changding's fief, spreading to two counties, causing heavy casualties.

Disasters happened one after another, causing the panic in the hearts of the people to intensify, and they ran to the county again to ask the county magistrate to open a warehouse to release food. In the end, the government servants killed a few people who took the lead in making troubles before they could barely suppress the incident.

But the resentment in the hearts of the people has grown to a higher level, and the roots have sprouted in the bottom of their hearts.

After waiting for such a long time, many people realized that the imperial court might not open grain warehouses at all, and began to go to the grain store to buy grain.

But now the price of grain is also one price per day. Brown rice that used to cost more than ten yuan a catty now costs thirty yuan to buy.

In order to survive, no matter how high the price is, many people buy grain, but some people struggle to support it, thinking that the court will definitely not ignore them.

The news of the soaring food price spread to the surrounding villages and towns, and everyone in Jiangjia Village naturally knew about it.

The food in the town has become more expensive, so there are still those families who have collected the food in advance!

They put their minds on these families who harvested grain in advance.

The Hengrong family didn't dare to make up their minds, and his family only received half of the food. After much deliberation, they finally made their idea to Jiang Zhiyue's family.

"Jiang Xiucai's family didn't have to pay taxes in previous years, and this year they collected the grain of these several acres of land. How could his family eat so much grain? Let me say that we are all from the village, so he should help Let's order." Jiang Huzi, who was standing under the big tree at the head of the village, said.

There are two major households surnamed Jiang and Jiang in Jiangjia Village, but the household surnamed Jiang moved here later, and there are a few residents with other surnames who moved here later.

The people around him knew from what he said that he probably hadn't heard of what happened at Jiang's house yesterday, otherwise how dare he make such an idea.

Immediately someone said to him: "Jiang Xiucai's boys are not easy to mess with. Yesterday, the Sun's family came to ask for some food, but they beat them away. That girl of Jiang's family is also very powerful. She kicked everyone. It flew away."

"Who in our village doesn't know that Mrs. Sun has broken off her natal family a long time ago, but we have been with them for decades, so we can't give up this bit of face." Jiang Huzi didn't let go of what he said. In my heart, and there are too many people going, does his family dare not take out the food?
Some people thought Jiang Huzi's words made sense. Anyway, Jiang Xiucai's family couldn't finish the food, so why not give them some.

The few hit it off immediately, and they were about to go to Jiang's house to force them to hand over the food.

A large group of mighty people walked towards Jiang's house, attracting many people to follow along the way.

After a few days, every household has run out of food. If Jiang Xiucai's family gave them food, they should give them some points when they see people.

So more and more people gathered, and when they arrived at the gate of Jiang's house, the number had reached nearly a hundred.

When they passed by Hengrong's house, Jiang Hengrong's mother-in-law found out about the situation, she told Jiang Hengrong about it, and said: "Let them only care about their own lives and don't let the big guys collect the food, they deserve to rob his family's food .”

When she said this, she had forgotten that they confiscated the food because they didn't want to believe it.

Jiang Hengrong crossed Erlang's legs and glanced out, but said nothing.

With a few bangs, the door of the Jiang family was knocked trembling. Jiang Zhiyue stood up and opened the door, only to see a huge crowd blocking the door.

In the past two days, Jiang Zhiyue took several members of the Jiang family to the mountains to catch a lot of prey and returned, planning to smoke and store them.

When she opened the door, she was holding a kitchen knife that had just cut meat.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Zhiyue glanced coldly at the crowd outside, but she already guessed in her heart what they were here for.

The person who knocked on the door saw the shiny kitchen knife in Jiang Zhiyue's hand, and thought about how she kicked someone flying yesterday, so he took two steps back in fright, and said falteringly, "Jiang...Jiang Huzi said he has something to ask for you."

After speaking, he stepped aside, revealing Jiang Huzi behind him.

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Zhiyue looked at the man with triangular eyes who didn't look taller than her and asked.

Jiang Huzi tilted his head and said arrogantly: "Your man also asked a woman to come out to talk. I'll discuss the food with your father."

As he spoke, he held his head up and wanted to enter from Jiang Zhiyue's side.

Jiang Zhiyue's face darkened, and she raised the kitchen knife in her hand and laid it across his neck.

Feeling the cold touch from his neck, Jiang Huzi stopped in fright and swallowed carefully.

He took half a step back, and Jiang Zhiyue's hand stretched forward a little, the sharp blade cut his skin, and tiny drops of blood rolled down his neck.

Jiang Huzi was too frightened to move, but his body was shaking like a sieve.

"If you have something to say, if you have something to say, take the knife down first." Jiang Huzi cried, regretting standing in the front and taking the lead. He should have fanned the flames in the crowd, and forgive them for not being able to fight so many people.

Jiang Zhiyue glanced at the blade attached to Jiang Huzi's skin in distaste. She had to wash the knife well in a while, otherwise it would be unusable.

She took the knife back and saw that Jiang Huzi wanted to run back into the crowd, so she helped him and kicked him out.

"Why, you all came to us for something like him?" Jiang Zhiyue swept his eyes across the crowd one by one.

The person she was staring at felt a chill in his neck, quickly shook his head and took a few steps back from the crowd.

There are still many people left standing there. Although they are afraid, they also feel that the Jiang family is really doing something to so many of them.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man with a flattering smile on his face said: "It's been so long since the locust plague, and everyone's family is a little out of date. Look, can you help me out?"

He didn't dare to look at Jiang Zhiyue as the woman in the family. This girl is doted on by the Jiang family, and he is also very good.

"It seems that everyone has forgotten what I said." Jiang Zhiyue said casually.

When she reminded her like this, many people remembered what she said at the beginning: Don’t say that our family doesn’t respect the love of the village if we can’t borrow food by then.

Someone's face turned pale. At that time, I didn't know what kind of locust plague would really happen.

However, some people thought that Jiang's family did it unethically. A stern-eyed woman in the crowd said: "Everyone is a person who digs in the ground. How can they understand those words? If Jiang Xiucai said a few more words, We'll definitely listen to him."

"That's right, I think you just hide half of it because you don't like the folks. Now that the big guy is going to be hungry, your family has to take out the food and share it with us." Zhou.

Jiang Zhiyue sneered, and the other people who came out of the yard were also surprised when they heard this, what a big face!
