I went into the kitchen with my weak body, and it took a while to light the fire. The old man was already out of breath from exhaustion. Scooping the water into the pot, he trembled and opened the cupboard, trying to get some rice out of the bag of rice.

At this time, the rice could not be eaten, and the family could only eat some millet mixed with cornmeal. However, when he opened the bag of food, he found that there was nothing to eat inside. It is no exaggeration to say that the inside of the bag of rice is so clean that it can probably be used to wipe your face.

Originally, after being forced to repay Zhao Hui's money, there was not much rations left at home, and now their injuries have not healed, which is tantamount to sprinkling another handful of salt on the wound. But the son can't even find a figure, what can the two of them do at home, plus a daughter-in-law who is burned unconscious?

The old man searched in the kitchen for a long time, and finally he didn't know which corner he had turned over a few wilted potatoes from which corner. It's better to have a few potatoes than nothing. He immediately washed the potatoes and put them in the pot, cooked them and then fished them out. Instead of rushing the bowl into the room, he eagerly ate one potato before leaving the kitchen with the only two left.

In the room, the old lady was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. After seeing the potatoes in the bowl, she didn't bother to ask about the situation, but gobbled up the potatoes first. But how can a potato fill a stomach? However, when she asked about the situation at home again, and learned that there was no food in stock, the old lady almost fainted in anger.

The son doesn't know where he has gone, and he doesn't know when he will come back, so they can't just stay at home and die! Because of the necessity of reality, the two old ones had to end their lives of recuperation. The old man left the house and planned to go to the village to borrow some food, but the old lady finally moved out of the room, and after gasping for breath for a while, she barely sobered up.

In the past, when their family was still living in Yongping Village, they offended many people in the village, so many villagers were reluctant to greet their family. Seeing the old man walking far away from him, the villagers all dispersed tacitly, and many of them even quickly returned to their homes, closing the courtyard gate by the way. It can also be seen from this how unpopular the Zhao family is in Qingshui Village.

The old man obviously knew that the villagers didn't want to see him, but at this time, starvation was a big deal, so he still licked his face and knocked on the doors of a few relatively familiar people.

When he explained his intentions, one of the families rejected him on the spot. The life of the villagers in Yongping Village has been much better in recent years, but this does not mean that they are willing to help the Zhao family unconditionally.

However, one of the two families was afraid of face, and it was really unbearable to look at the old man's pitiful appearance, so they finally borrowed a bowl of rice from him.

With these two bowls of rice, the two of them can last for two days. As for the daughter-in-law who is not yet awake in the other room, they can't take care of it now, and they don't have the energy to care about her life or death anymore.

After getting these news, Jinshu's mood became more and more comfortable. After hearing that the boss of the Zhao family might run away from home, she quickly inquired about the whereabouts of the other party.

After all, Ren'an County is so big, and she has been quite familiar with it over the years, so it is very easy to find someone who does not have much money on her. Anyway, there is no way for the other party to go further, so it won't waste much time to find it.
