Yan Chengyue's speed was still very fast, and within a few days, he found someone to dig a well to dig a well in the area that Li Luan'er circled.

Although Li Luan'er said that her body was a little better, she was pregnant with four children in the end, which was different from ordinary people, and she didn't have any mental toss, so she didn't go to see how the well was drilled, but just asked Ruizhu to take turns to inquire and come back and talk to her.

In the end, Li Luan'er's mental power is still very useful, the water source she designated is very rich, and the water comes out within a few days, and then the water is more and more dug down, and when the well is drilled, it is only about ten days, and it is really the most time-saving and labor-saving work that the well drilling team has received.

The well at home was dug, Yan Chengyue was busy leading people to run around the old house and the Li family, and Li Luan'er asked people to buy back many large vats, and put a few in each courtyard, so that people could store water in them when they were free to prevent drought from coming.

As the days went on, the sun continued to radiate heat as the sun hung high in the sky, while the ground became more and more dry, and many fields had cracked open large cracks, and the peasants were busy looking for water everywhere to irrigate, and even so, the crops withered and died day by day.

The life of the people outside the capital is getting worse and harder, and the life of the poor people in the capital is not very good, those people are not as big as the Li family's Yan family, there is more than one well at home, most of the families are several households sharing a well, and now the groundwater is gradually decreasing, and the water in the well is about to be unable to get water, and many families are constantly quarreling over this.

In mid-May, Li Luan'er asked someone to go out to inquire, and listened to the report of the steward of Zhuangzi that this year's wheat harvest was probably going to be over.

Dayong Dynasty is different from modern times, there is no winter wheat, most of them hold the custom of planting in spring and harvesting in autumn and raising land in winter, wheat is planted in spring, in summer, because there is no water to irrigate, not to mention flowering and irrigation, it is already very good to survive, according to the steward, the wheat on the Zhuangzi has poured one after another, the poles are dry, it is not bad to use it to burn the fire, to think about waiting for it to be green again, it is almost impossible.

Li Luan'er only sighed slightly after learning about it, how could she not understand the cruelty of nature after the end of the world, even if it is a modern society with advanced science and technology, there is nothing to be done about natural disasters, not to mention the ancient society that watches the sky and eats, in the face of disasters, Li Luan'er can only think of ways to protect her own family, where can she have the spare energy to take care of others.

Time passed day by day, the drought became more and more severe, Yan Chengyue no longer went out, and was at home with Li Luan'er, but the letters that came back one after another, Li Luan'er also knew some of the situation outside.

It is said that the drought in the north is not very severe, but the drought in the south is severe, and people in many places have begun to flee with their children and daughters, and there are many refugees outside the capital, and the price of water in the capital is higher day by day, and many ordinary people have begun to sell their daughters.

On this day, Li Luan'er had just had lunch, and was discussing with Yan Chengyue to open a piece of land in the back garden to grow some vegetables, when he saw someone from the old mansion and said that he would invite Yan Chengyue and Li Luan'er to discuss things.

In the future, when people were sent away, Li Luan'er looked at Yan Chengyue: "I'm afraid that the matter of my wife selling grain has happened." ”

Yan Chengyue shook his head: "Probably not, I estimate that there is still some food in stock at home, and it should be able to support it for a few more days, and it will not be stretched in such a short time." ”

"What's that?" Li Luan'er also didn't understand.

Yan Chengyue pushed the wheelchair with a smile and walked out: "I naturally know when I go, I am afraid that it is not a good thing, you are not a good thing, you are inconvenient to rest at home, I will go by myself, so as not to embarrass your wife." ”

Li Luan'er also smiled: "How can my wife embarrass me?" I'm not afraid of her, and if you tell me to be at home, I'll be restless, so I'd better go with you. ”

While speaking, Li Luan'er asked Ruizhu to order to go down and prepare the carriage, and put some ice basins on the carriage.

When Yiqiē was ready, Li Luan'er and Yan Chengyue got into the carriage and went back to the old house.

When they arrived at the old mansion, the two went directly to the main hall, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw General Yan sitting upright with an angry face, Yan Baojia was apologizing on the side, and Lin was sulking, Shi Lan and Yan Chengxin knelt in the hall without saying a word, especially Shi Lan, her face was full of tears, with some anger and sadness in her eyes, and she knelt on the ground like a nailed person, her pursed lips and clenched hands repeatedly said that she was very angry and was trying her best to restrain herself.

Li Luan'er knew at a glance that something should have happened to Shi Lan, or rather, Shi Lan and the Lin family had quarreled.

"Chengyue and Luan are here, come and sit."

General Yan Lao watched Yan Chengyue and Li Luan'er enter the door to salute, so he quickly laughed, pointed to the seat on the side and asked two people to sit, Yan Chengyue was already sitting, naturally there was no need to sit anymore, Li Luan'er was heavy, and she couldn't always stand, so she told Yan Baojia and the Lin family to sit down.

Yan Bao's family is nothing, he can think about his four grandsons, only the Lin family is a little resentful, but before she can say anything, she was dragged by Yan Bao's family, seeing the warning in Yan Baojia's eyes, Lin swallowed the words again, she glared at Shi Lan, and then looked at Li Luan'er, and actually smiled at Li Luan'er.

This smile surprised Li Luan'er, you know, the Lin family has never had any good colors for her, and this smile is ...... Didn't you bring a knife?

When she saw Shi Lan's unconvinced expression, Li Luan'er understood after a little thought, she was afraid that Lin Shizhen and Shi Lan had quarreled, so she wanted to win her over as an alliance, which gave her a good face.

However, she Li Luan'er is not a fool, can she see that the two of them do not deal with each other and insert it into it, how can she be bought by a few good faces of the Lin family.

"Grandpa, what is this? Why are the second brother and younger sibling on their knees? ”

After sitting down, Yan Chengyue asked General Yan what happened.

When he asked, General Yan waved his hand in a dejected manner, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were a little older, and he suddenly saw that it was an old man who was an ordinary person in his twilight years, where was he still majestic on weekdays: "Ask your father to go, and ask him to listen to you." ”

Yan Chengyue went to see Yan Bao's family again, and Yan Bao's family had no one to push, so he could only sigh and sigh: "The family is unfortunate, you ...... This Shi Shi is really not like it. ”

"Master, is it the son's, the old lady is so sad, the son will definitely discipline the Shi family when he goes back." Yan Chengxin admitted his mistake while snorting, listening to the tone of his voice a little more crying, thinking about it, this matter must be very strict.

"Master, daughter-in-law, tell you the truth, don't be angry." Shi Lan didn't feel that he was wrong at all, knelt on the ground and said very simply: "The daughter-in-law thinks that she is right, and the wife is wrong, although the wife is in charge of the house, but it should not be sold without discussion, you know, but any family of the big family will leave no room for doing things, no one has ever seen the old grain sold before the grain is paid, and the housekeeper and wife of the family have not cut off the family's retreat for the money, if the daughter-in-law finds out, maybe we will not know that the wife has done this kind of thing until we are all starving." ”

As he spoke, Shi Lan faced General Yan: "Old man, my granddaughter-in-law also admits that she is a little arbitrary and a little short-tempered, but her granddaughter-in-law has a good heart, unlike my wife who put our family to death, old man, you have to make decisions for your granddaughter-in-law." ”

Hearing this, Li Luan'er also knew about it, probably because Shi Lan knew about the Lin family's grain sales, which made a fuss.

Shi Lan's toss, Lin's straight face turned red, and he glared at Shi Lan: "Presumptuous, how can you be such a daughter-in-law in the world......"

"The old man has never spoken, Mrs. is so presumptuous, she really doesn't take the old man in her eyes, madam, there is a daughter-in-law like you in this world." Shi Lan was born in a noble family, and there are many scholars in the family, and he is very neat with a mouth, and the Lin family is poor in a few words.

"I, no matter how I am, I don't have such a reason to go to my mother's house." Lin Shi angrily took a few steps past and stretched out his hand to hit Shi Lan, Shi Lan screamed when he saw it, and Li Luan'er, who was noisy, had a headache.

Yan Chengyue saw it, and shouted: "Enough." ”

His voice was full of anger, although the voice was not loud, but it sounded in everyone's ears like thunder, Lin and Shi Lan were startled, and Lin took a few steps back, looking at Yan Chengyue with a white face: "You, unfilial son." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Yan Chengyue ignored the Lin family and glanced at Shi Lan, who was kneeling on the ground: "Brother and sister, you can talk about it." ”

Shi Lan was a little grateful, and nodded slightly to Yan Chengyue as a courtesy, and then said slowly: "Uncle probably knows that the weather is dry this year, and the harvest will not be better." ”

Seeing Yan Chengyue frowning, Shi Lan sped up his speech: "My mother's family is not as good as the Yan family, there are not so many Zhuangzi, and there is not a lot of grain stored every year...... This food is not enough, I thought that there should be some food stored at home, I really had no way to ask my wife, thinking that I could sell some food with my mother's family at market prices, which could be regarded as saving the poor, but I knew that my wife would not give me any face, and kicked me out before I finished speaking, and scolded me, saying that I was the water spilled by my married daughter, and I should not care about my mother's family at all. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Lan's expression was a little bad, and she lowered her head and shed a few tears: "Whose family raises children and daughters is not to prevent old age, my mother's family raised me, and now my mother's family has something difficult and I ignore it, so what has become of me, besides, some time ago, I also saw my wife quietly helping the Lin family, the same mother's family, how can my wife help, I can't be, I am a little unconvinced, thinking about asking if I have done something wrong, so that my wife is so disgusted with me." ”

"You ......" Lin gritted his teeth: "I don't know what to say." ”

Yan Chengxin raised his head at this time and looked at the Lin family, and then at Shi Lan, seeing Shi Lan's tears rolling down, and the ground was already wet, his heart was a little painful, he shook Shi Lan's hand: "You tell your brother well, don't cry." ”

Li Luan'er squinted her eyes, and said in her heart that everyone else said that Shi Lan had no face for Yan Chengxin, and that the people of the Shi family did not save Yan Chengxin any face, thinking that Yan Chengxin and Shi Lan were afraid that they would become a pair of resentful couples, but now that they look at it, Yan Chengxin is not bad to Shi Lan, and they are quite considerate of her.

Then he looked at the Yan Bao family who was worried about the Lin family, and Yan Chengyue, who was looking at him with a distressed face, and then thought about the old lady who had lived under the care of General Yan all her life, Li Luan'er secretly said in her heart that the woman who married into the Yan family was afraid that she didn't know how many lifetimes of blessings she had cultivated.

The men of the Yan family are all good, especially those who love their wives, no matter how bad their wives are, as long as they are married, they will love and take care of them wholeheartedly, and they have never made any divorce from their wives, and they have never had any concubines to have sex with each other, which is really rare in such an environment in ancient times.

"Cheng Xin!" Lin looked at Yan Chengxin and Shi Lan clasped hands together and gritted his teeth: "You, everyone says that you forgot your mother's ...... after marrying a daughter-in-law."

"If you want to say that, the Bao family is also one, since he married you, I don't know how many times I have talked to his mother." Old General Yan sneered and threw a teacup to the ground: "Lin family, you have hidden from us to help the Lin family, Shi Lan's words are true?" ”

"Old man, I, I'm ......"

Shi Lan's words were true, so that Lin couldn't refute them.

Shi Lan didn't seem to see the situation of the Lin family, and continued: "But it doesn't matter if I check this time, I was shocked myself, Mrs. She, she actually sold more than half of the family's stored grain, and now I am afraid that there is not much food at home, our family is old and young, but how to live, I really can't make trouble with my wife, I also know that I am not filial, but I have to think about the Yan family, I will make amends to my wife for my mistakes, and I will punish my wife, But my wife really shouldn't care about the lives of the family. ”R1152
