Chapter 50: The Family is Strong

Under the mediation of the crown prince Liu Wei and several princes, as well as dozens of ministers of the Ministry of Household and Industry, the seven major provinces and 100 counties that have already experienced flood disasters have started a series of emergency rescue operations.

These emergency actions are all guidelines issued by the imperial court to guide the families and heroes in various places to do things. As for the key issue of paying money and goods, it can only be the heroes of the family, each with its own responsibility.

If they are willing to save the people, they will save them.

If you don't want to save the people, no one can force them......

Under such measures, there was no opposition from inside or outside the court.

The powerful people of the family are now eager for those farmers to suffer more disasters. As long as they can't survive, they will naturally come to the door and sell themselves to be their slaves for eternity.

To be a strong tenant farmer, he still has a little personal freedom. But if they become their slaves, the situation of the peasants becomes a little more delicate.

Farmers with a skill will be classified as artisan households. Although the artisans are untouchables, they are inferior to ordinary commoners. However, compared with the ordinary farmers who can only farm, the situation of the artisan household is slightly better.

Because under normal circumstances, the craftsman can still eat enough twice a day and not starve to death.

However, as a slave farmer with a powerful family, the situation will become a little bad.

Of course, the central court will not care about their life or death. Because now they are actually a little too busy to take care of themselves.

……

When the rain stopped, Wu Guifang and his family quickly found out, as long as they walked to the foot of the mountain, the surging flood would roll away.

Walking to the mountainside and seeing a landslide on that mountain, and the flood at the foot of the mountain violently washed over the riverbank, Wu Guifang was a little worried, did he have a place in his future life?

Jia Xiaolan and her biological mother, Ma, went to Jiajialing. When they found out, the villagers who were supposed to live here were gone. Moreover, Jia Jialing had been submerged in an ocean, and the mother and daughter cried out with a handful of snot and tears at that time.

"Oh my God! Why are you so cruel? Are you still calling us alive? ”

"Where are you, boss? Come out soon, okay? I don't have you, how can I live......"

Ma sat on the ground, she patted her thighs hard, crying for her father and mother.

Seeing her crying hoarsely and fainting several times, Jia Xiaolan could only rush to her side and hugged her tightly.

"Mother~, don't cry!"

"My father, my brothers, my sisters-in-law and nephews must still be hiding from the rain somewhere!"

"You don't think things too badly......"

Hearing the girl's broken thoughts, Ma raised his hand without thinking about it and slapped it.

"You shameless bitch! If it wasn't for your husband's family who was reluctant to give up that little food and delayed my business, how could I find a family member who couldn't find it?! ”

was scolded by her own mother, Jia Xiaolan had an endless grievance in her heart.

"Mother~, can you blame me for this?"

"It's not my fault that a thousand mistakes are made, it's not my parents-in-law, they're too traitors?"

When she said this, she burst into tears.

There are actually more than 200 families living in Jiajialing.

With the exception of the 10 or so families who had moved to the mountains, the others were carried away by the flood when it rained heavily in the middle of the night.

That night, it rained too much, and there was lightning and thunder. Even if the people drifting in the flood were crying hoarse for help, no one heard them.

In the flood, all the houses collapsed, and the villagers living in the houses also drifted away with the torrent.

……

Jia Xiaolan's mother and daughter, looking back and forth in the area of Jiajialing. They saw the third uncle and the seventh uncle with a dejected face, and they also saw their family.

Knowing that most of the men in their family had survived, Ma had an indescribable remorse in his heart.

I think that when my daughter took the children back to her parents' house, she should have listened to her at that time and took the whole family directly to her man's house.

That morning, if she had brought all the people in her family to the mountains, she would not have become a lonely woman now.

"Woo woo woo, God, how will you tell me to live in the future? There's nowhere to live, there's nothing to eat, you're trying to kill me? ”

“……”

Hearing that her own mother was crying, it was so sad, Jia Xiaolan thought about it and told her seriously.

"Mother, you can stay with me for the time being!"

"You are my mother, I will be filial to you no matter what."

So, Wu Guifang, who was cooking instant noodles for her man, found Jia Xiaolan's mother and daughter, and after looking for someone outside for a day, she was finally willing to come back.

In fact, there are not many supplies in the cave.

Except for a few large jars of pickles, all the grains that the Wu family originally hid were eaten.

Moreover, these things such as salt and iron are all sold by the powerful families and the official family.

Salt, especially expensive.

So much so that when Jia Xiaolan cooks every day, she only scoops a spoonful of salt at a time.

In ancient times, salt was generally well salt.

They are not white, yellow, or green.

The Wu family now eats yellow salt. If you taste it, there is a bitter taste in it.

Therefore, the seasoning package in the instant noodles is much more delicious than the coarse salt they bought.

When Jia Xiaolan Ma was not at home, several men in charge of the Wu family ate instant noodles.

A large pot of instant noodles is cooked with a special fragrance. And in that soup, there are golden oil flowers. After a few deep breaths, it will arouse the appetite of the person.

Yesterday at noon, after Wu Guifang cooked a pot of instant noodles, added some pickled vegetables, and put 10 beef balls, the adult men of the Wu family ate them all. They don't leave a little of the soup in the pot.

Today, Wu Guifang cooked six packs of instant noodles, and added a big bowl of pickled vegetables, 5 braised eggs, 5 beef balls, and 1 fish ball to the pot. A few spoonfuls of chili peppers were also added.

After feeling that what he made was becoming more and more like Sichuan's steamed vegetables, Wu Guifang first gave himself and Wu Hongsheng a big bowl.

Then, she divided the things in the pot equally among the five big men, Wu Dahu, Wu Erhu, Wu Sanhu, Wu Wucai, and Wu Wencai.

As for the remaining half pot of soup, Wu Guifang sprinkled a few handfuls of noodles into it. After adding some extra water, she asked the rest of the family to divide up the cooked noodle soup.

Tonight, the men of the Wu family all had a round belly.

And Wu Hongsheng, the head of the Wu family, has the best food. The oil and water in it is also the most.

As for Ma's, there is also Ma Cuihua's mother and daughter who stayed in the cave to take refuge, this is the first time they have eaten such delicious food and drunk such delicious soup.

And the salt in the soup is exactly what everyone needs the most right now.

When they were full of food and drink, they all sweated unconsciously.
