Village Chief Li waved his hand, "Don't talk about this, I'm the village chief, and I can't watch the three of you mother and daughter go to a dead end." Let's go, go back, and let's discuss something together. If you don't have food, you can't starve to death if you eat wild vegetables diligently. ”

Li Fang and Li Li supported their mothers left and right, "Thank you, village chief, grandfather, village chief, grandmother, mother, don't cry." Anyway, we were all abandoned by our father, and we don't want him, so we don't have this person. ”

Liu felt sad, but cheered up, after all, he still had two daughters. If she dies in a slump, the fate of her two daughters will be even more tragic.

Following Village Chief Li and his wife to the place where the people in the village gathered, everyone knew what Old Man Li and Mrs. Li Yuangong had done, and they spit on them for a while.

After being comforted by everyone, Liu was no longer panicked.

Liu Pan'er sneered, with a disdainful face, "Xiaobao Arong, remember, people who can abandon their families are not as good as beasts." Liu is Li Yuangong's wife, and Ali and Ah Fang are Li Yuangong's daughters, so they were given up and abandoned by him, and there will be no good end in the future.

As for the old man Li and Mrs. Li, they are even more cold. They even gave up their own granddaughters, let alone those of you who were adopted. Later, see how far away they are and how far they hide. ”

Li Dabao was stunned for a moment, his little face was serious, "I know you have three taels of silver on you, in fact, you can leave alone, why don't you leave?" ”

Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment, and touched the purse on her body, "How do you know that I have silver on me?" If you want to cross the river, I can give you a tael of silver. ”

"I don't want to cross the river, just three taels of silver, and the five of us are not enough." Li Dabao's face was bitter, but his eyes were resolute, "We said before, we want to live together, and we want to die together." ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "Yes, I think so too." Besides, even if we pass, we will have to be separated from the villagers, and it will be even more dangerous for us to be adults and four children. After thinking about it, I think it is safer to work with everyone. ”

Li Rong heard Liu Paner's words and breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "As long as the family is together, even if it is very bitter, I am willing." ”

Seeing Li Li and Li Fang abandoned by their father, Li Rong suddenly felt that her stepmother was very good. In such a difficult situation, I couldn't help but escape, and I also snatched back my younger brothers and sisters, killed the bad guys, and never abandoned them.

In fact, the stepmother has done everything that a mother can do, she can't look at the stepmother like before, and she should change her attitude towards the stepmother.

But now Li Rong is embarrassed to change her words, and she still needs an opportunity.

The place where the people of Lijia Village settle down is far away from the ferry, but it is safe and the water source is clean.

If there are bandits and robbers, they can run directly into the dense forest, which is safer than on the main road.

Liu was originally a capable person, and after being sad and sad, for the sake of his daughters, he also had a good life, and said to his two daughters: "You stay here, I'll dig wild vegetables." We have nothing but diligence. ”

Li Fang nodded, "Mother, yes, we can't starve to death if we eat wild vegetables." If they don't take us away, they won't be our relatives in the future, and they won't pay attention to them in the future. ”

The mother and daughter borrowed baskets from others and went to dig wild vegetables.

On both sides of the Dadu River, there is plenty of water and there is no longer a drought, so there are relatively many wild vegetables. It's just that there are a lot of people who have fled the famine, and a lot of them have been dug up.

Even so, the mother and daughter also dug up a lot of wild vegetables.

Seeing Liu Paner digging wild vegetables from a distance, Ah Fang whispered: "Mother, the third aunt is also here, they still have food, should we borrow some from them?" ”

Li Li was also eager, looking forward to it.

Even coarse grains are better than wild vegetables.

Liu's eyes were complicated, he thought for a moment, and finally shook his head, "Your third aunt's family doesn't have much food, and there are two three-year-old children, so it's not okay to eat wild vegetables." Besides, we haven't helped your third aunt's family before, so it's not appropriate to borrow food when you open your mouth. If you do, what's the difference between you and your unreasonable little aunt Li Yingniang? ”

As soon as they heard their mother mention Li Yingniang, the two sisters felt like they had stepped on stinky shit, "Little aunt is the worst, we can't be like her." ”

Seeing this, Liu was very pleased, "However, your third aunt often comes out to look for food, let's find more wild vegetables and send them over." Pick some tender ones and give them to children, more or less our hearts. If other people have something, let's help too, be diligent. Not only will we not starve, but we will be safe. ”

Liu taught his daughters that he didn't want them to grow crooked.

Most of the people in the village are simple, and there are not many people who are as bad as their parents-in-law.

Now, when they are desperate, it is the village chief who takes them in.

In addition to the old man Li and Mrs. Li's family who crossed the river, there were two families with ox carts, who spent money to cross the river by boat. However, these two families did not leave anyone behind, and they did a better job than Old Man Li and Mrs. Li Yuangong.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and people have the money to leave, and Village Chief Li can't stop him.

Village Chief Li frowned and called several young adults in the village, as well as Liu Paner, to discuss the affairs of the village.

Liu Paner sat next to Grandma Li and thought carefully.

"Yuan Qing's family, do you think it's okay for us to join the village?" Grandma Li asked, her yellow eyes full of determination, as if she would never be defeated.

Liu Pan'er smiled, "Merging together, I'm not afraid that the people of Zhaojia Village and Liujia Village will cooperate to bully us, I'm worried that there are too many people, but the wild vegetables and wild fruits in the mountains are limited, and everyone has to go hungry." ”

Grandma Li nodded, "I'm also worried about this, because of a scramble on a hill, it will be a mess." But life in the mountains is difficult, there are fewer people, and it is very dangerous to encounter them.

I also have a worry, we can't go back to my hometown, so we have to settle down here. Only our family surnamed Li can't do it, and when the children grow up and get married, they are all close relatives, and the same surname is not intermarriage. ”

Hearing this, Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment and patted her head, "Big grandmother, you're right, I didn't think about the child's marriage leave." We don't have a local household registration, we hide in the mountains, and when our children grow up, we always have to get married. In that case, let's call a few more villages. Even if you can't be in one place, everyone spreads out and builds different villages. ”

Village Chief Li was still a little hesitant, after hearing his mother say that the child would get married, he couldn't let the children in the village not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and they couldn't get married.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Village Chief Zhao and Village Chief Liu now." Village Chief Li responded, "I see that there are more and more people gathered at Dadukou, and there may be chaos." If the government colludes with the bandits, maybe the bandits will take advantage of the night to kidnap people. ”

This is also what Liu Paner is worried about.

Just when Liu Pan'er was talking here, Li Fang grabbed a handful of wild vegetable hearts and sent them over, "Ah Rong, Ah Nan and Xiaobao are too young, don't give them wild vegetables that are too old." This is what Ali and I picked out and tender, let's give it to them. ”
