Tongxin Village is not a big village, and there are not a few people, there are still several families like the old couple before, and the family really has no food, so they can only wait for death at home.

I have to go to the neighbor's house on the left and right, but there are not many people themselves, where can I give as much as I want, at most I will take half a bowl of rice, and I will give it next to each other, and I am embarrassed to go to the door again.

Like this, the Lin family will also secretly give a little something, the last time there was a drought, their family was also in this situation, at that time there were still a few silver coins at home, but at that time it was even more serious, the town could not buy food, if it wasn't for the help of the Gu family, their family would not be able to survive one by one.

At that time, there were also other people's families who gave them some things, although they were very few, but they were life-saving, and they remembered these kindnesses.

Although the people who are helping them now are not necessarily the ones who helped them at the beginning, but this good deed is always blessed, and they are all from the same village, how can they bear to watch people starve to death?

If they don't have anything to eat, the key is that they still have some food at home, and if they save some, they can still survive the harvest.

Just helping people in secret, his own family is also planning to live, but it is quite smooth, although most of the people in the village are not full, but in April, none of them have an accident, and it is okay.

It's about to be May, and there is a sudden news in the village, saying that Qiu Ling, the granddaughter of Gu Pingyong's family, is getting married, and the wedding date is set for June.

Many people think it's incredible, this time is the year of famine, why did Gu Pingyong let his granddaughter marry at this time?

Even if Qiu Ling is old, she can talk to her in-laws first, and then get married when the next year is better.

In June, even the grain has not been harvested, and Gu Pingyong's family has not grown potatoes, how will Qiu Ling get married at that time? In this situation, even a banquet cannot be held.

Someone said in private, "You still don't understand this? Gu Pingyong's family is now out of food, I heard that the family Qiu Ling said is in Wanhe Town, and there is some food at home, if Qiu Ling is married at this time, he can receive some dowry, maybe there is still food, what do you say he is doing? ”

Upon hearing this, some people couldn't believe it, and said suspiciously, "This is unlikely, the Gu family is a big family in the village, if they have no surplus food at home, how will we people live?" ”

"Then Gu Pingyong's family has so much land, a little more than his younger brother, and people have so many mouths to eat, there are only a few people in their family, and there are two boys, no one believes it."

The man who spoke just now sneered, "It's true that he has a lot of land, but do you know that he sold a lot of grain last year?" I secretly went to sell it, thinking that the people in the village didn't know, but I got up early that day, and happened to see it, and then I saw it again, and I sold a lot of them on both occasions. ”

"Look at the things that their family tossed last year, how much silver was folded in, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, he doesn't have to be so hoarded, then the Yun family is a capable family, but he is not sensible, the family has no money, and he has to save face, so he naturally wants to sell food."

"Maybe I didn't think there would be a drought this year, I sold the stored grain, but I have to be hungry, and I'm embarrassed to plant potatoes with us this year, you see how he will live in the next days, and now he can only think of this method, where is this to marry a granddaughter, it is clearly to sell a granddaughter."

As soon as he said this, everyone understood that if he had sold his grain stock last year, it is estimated that there would not be much grain now.

Last year, there was no one in the village who sold grain, I was afraid that this year's year was not good, and everyone really guessed it, even if they didn't sell food, many people are hungry now, not to mention that he sold so much, even if his own family collected more, he couldn't stand such nonsense.

"Hey, if that's the case, it's hard for Qiu Ling's child, I look at that girl very well, I thought about going to her house to talk about it, to see if I can marry my eldest grandson, but I know that I can't climb their family, Gu Pingyong is so angry, I haven't mentioned it, and now my eldest grandson has also married a daughter-in-law, who knows that Qiu Ling is going to be so scourge by the family."

The other sighed and smiled, "This is also a matter of no law, who let him be born in such a family, don't you understand?" That Gu Pingyong has two grandchildren, how much did it cost him to let his two grandsons go to school, and now his two precious grandsons can't afford to go to school, where is there any money left to handle his granddaughter's marriage. ”

"Qiu Ling is eighteen years old, and she can't afford to keep it, and now she is married out just right, and she catches up with the famine, and she can still get some food back, how can it be considered a loss, but if you think about it, he Gu Pingyong has also fallen into the field today, which is really embarrassing!"

Another person said, "It's not, think about it, how decent Qiu Ru was when she got married, Qiu Ling and her are cousins, this difference is not ordinary, and I don't know what Gu Pingyong thinks, such a good-looking person, I don't feel ashamed to be so sorry for my granddaughter now." ”

"There's no way, no matter how good your face is, you have to fill your stomach, I guess they don't have much in their family, just waiting for these grains, I heard that the family is still good, maybe Qiu Ling married and lived a good life, and look at the blessings of that girl."

There are a lot of people talking outside, thinking that they have heard people talk about this matter when they go outside, and they will discuss it with their families when they go back, Wu also knows, sighing and saying, "In this year, many things are really helpless, we can't manage too much of people's family affairs, Qiu Ling is a very good child, this time I am a little wronged." ”

Now that she is short of food and clothing, how many things can she take out to handle her marriage? Even if her in-laws are good to her, her future father-in-law will love her, but if she marries like this, her mother's side will lose face, and if her mother-in-law has a concubine, she will not be able to raise her head in the past.

Liu said, "If you get married in June, it won't be long, it's really in a hurry, I remember that my sister-in-law and Qiu Ling used to have a lot of fun, and they separated when they were older, if the two of you have a good relationship, you should also go over and take a look, and send a handkerchief to add makeup." ”

Wu nodded and said, "Yes, Wanrong, you and Qiu Ling are still handkerchiefs, should you go over and see her, the relationship between our two families is not good now, but it has nothing to do with your children, she is going to get married, it's really not good if you don't go, I don't know if we can meet in the future." ”

Wanrong just wanted to go, but she didn't want to mention it, and now Wu asked her to go, she breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile, "Well, I know." ”
