Chapter 16: Parting Ways

The corners of Jiang Zhiyue's lips hooked up with a smile, just when everyone thought she was going to apologize.

"Grandpa Hengrong said this, do you also think I am wrong?"

Jiang Hengrong frowned and looked at her, and didn't speak, but that expression already showed what he meant.

Isn't it just for them to open the curtain of the car and take a look, and let everyone see it directly, it won't be so much, and it has to end badly now.

I don't know how Jiang Xiucai is such a learned person and how he taught such a daughter.

Jiang Hengrong said impatiently: "You hurry up, we're about to set off when everyone comes, or do you really want to go by yourself?" ”

This was a threat, thinking that they were afraid that they would be kicked out of the team.

Aunt Wu next to Jiang Hengrong held her head high, squinted her little eyes and looked at Jiang Zhiyue proudly waiting for her to apologize.

If she was willing to apologize and show her the contents of the car, she would reluctantly forgive them and not let Huzi kick them out.

Even Jiang Zhilan and Zhou, who were sitting on the ground and forgot to get up, felt very happy.

Although the others wanted to say something, the family still had to follow Hengrong after all, what if they were stiff and kicked out of the team.

I didn't look at the group of people outside the city gate yesterday, if it weren't for the large number of people in Jiangjia Village, they would definitely have to grab food.

But they all thought wrong, Jiang Zhiyue was not afraid of the family going alone at all, and it would be inconvenient to be with them.

Jiang Zhiyue said in a casual tone: "Then let's go separately." ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was shocked.

This... Why doesn't this Jiang Xiucai's daughter play cards according to common sense.

Hengrong said that he apologized and this matter will pass, otherwise how dangerous it is to go out alone in this world now!

Song Furong stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Zhiyue, dragged her past and persuaded in a low voice: "Girl, don't be strong at this time, how dangerous it is for you to go out by yourself, take a soft face first and the matter will pass." ”

Clear-eyed people know that Jiang Zhiyue is right about this, but they can't stop Hengrong from speaking.

"Auntie, don't need to persuade you, we won't be with everyone." Jiang Zhiyue said loudly.

Jiang Hengrong's face was not good, and he felt that Jiang Zhiyue had made him lose face.

said angrily: "Hmph, don't regret begging me to come back." ”

After speaking, he stopped looking at her, and said to the people who were already here in Jiangjia Village: "Pack up your things, and let's leave when everyone arrives." ”

"Whoever wants to be with them, don't be with the team."

Song Furong stood beside Jiang Zhiyue and Zhang, a little in a dilemma.

Her two daughters-in-law came over and pulled her back.

"Mother, don't be confused at this time, go back with us."

Zhang also persuaded: "Furong, you can go back, don't worry about us." ”

Song Furong had no choice but to sigh and turn around and leave.

Slowly, people came, and those who came behind only felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, but they didn't know what was happening.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Jiang Hengrong let everyone set off.

Old Man Jiang's eldest brother, Jiang Kangde's family, walked to the side of Jiang's house and said with a smile: "Hurry up and clean up, don't be unable to catch up with the team." ”

Jiang Kangde's family just came late, so they don't know what's going on.

He saw that his brother's family was not ready to leave, and urged with a smile.

Old Man Jiang's face was pale, and he opened his mouth to tell what had just happened.

Just when he was hesitating whether to let the eldest brother's family also join them, Jiang Kangde spoke.

"What do you say is the matter, no, the eldest brother's family is with you."

Old Man Jiang's face was relieved, and he was thinking about what to say to get his eldest brother to follow them.

When he was a child, his father went early, and his mother took the two brothers to rely on each other, so the relationship between the two was good.

Anyway, the old man felt that his granddaughter was lucky, and their family had been training for so long, even if they went out alone, they were not afraid.

But before the two brothers were happy, Jiang Kangde's daughters-in-law sang and said in harmony.

"Dad, what's going on, our two families look at a lot of people, but how many can support things when they really go out."

"Yes, Dad, let's not go with the people in the village, there is no one who can protect you."

Jiang Kangde raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Our own family needs the protection of others, what are you doing!" ”

"I don't care, anyway, I won't go with my second uncle's family, if I meet a homeless person or something, these few people are not enough for others to swallow." The second daughter-in-law of Jiang Kangde's family hugged her arm and said.

The eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law saw that someone had taken the lead, and they also said justifiably: "We... We're not together, so if you want to be with your father, you can follow it yourself. ”

"A few bastards, can the people in the village compare to their own family!" Jiang Kangde angrily pounded the ground with a cane.

The third daughter-in-law said again: "I don't care if it's my own family, anyway, my life is more important." ”

After speaking, he rolled his eyes towards the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhiyue stood aside and did not answer, quietly watching the development of the situation.

If they wanted to be together, she would definitely take good care of them, but it seems that they don't need it.

Jiang Kangde gasped for breath and looked at the three sons who were standing behind his daughter-in-law with sullen heads.

"What do you think the same as your daughter-in-law?"

Jiang Zhiyue saw that a few of them were hesitant for a long time before saying: "Dad, my daughter-in-law and a few of them are right, now that they have left the team, how dangerous it is, you better keep up with us, we won't be able to keep up after a while." ”

One girl also agreed:

"My dad is right, it's not all cousins who don't do things lightly or seriously, so if you listen to Grandpa Hengrong's words and apologize to Aunt Wu, and then open the car curtain for everyone to see, this matter will be over."

This girl is the daughter of Jiang Kangde's eldest son, and she is two years younger than Jiang Zhiyue.

I hate her cousin on weekdays, she looks better than her, wears better clothes than her, and even lives better than her.

It's not easy to catch her fault, so she immediately stood up and answered.

Jiang Kangde didn't expect his sons and granddaughters to say this, and he was angry for a while, and waved his cane at his three sons.

"You bastards, how much effort does the Rong boy's family put into your children's schooling on weekdays, and you dare to say such a thing, I will kill you and me!"

Several people subconsciously blocked it with their hands, and the second daughter-in-law even took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, grabbed Jiang Kangde's arm and pushed it violently.

The old man was pushed and staggered, and fell backwards unsteadily.

When people get old, their bones are brittle, and it would be terrible if they fell.

The two brothers, Jiang Yuchao and Jiang Yuqing, supported Jiang Kangde on the one hand, and only then did they stabilize him.

Jiang Kangde trembled and pointed at the few unfilial sons in front of him, and he couldn't say anything angry.

"Since the eldest brother is so good, he definitely won't blame us for this decision, don't all those who go out want to be safe, you can definitely understand us." The second daughter-in-law looked at Jiang Yuchao and asked.

As soon as Jiang Yuchao was about to speak, Jiang Kangde breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If you want to go, I will not have your sons in the future." ”

"Daddy......"

Jiang Kangde's second son just wanted to speak, but his daughter-in-law suddenly squeezed him behind.

She said: "This is what your old man said himself, we didn't force you to be our son and daughter-in-law." ”

This old man, she has long looked at him unpleasantly.

Her body is not as good as her Uncle Kang Cheng, and she still has one foot on the slope, and she can't even walk steadily without crutches, let alone go down to the ground to help.

This time he came out to escape the famine, he couldn't go, and he had to leave him empty on the cart for him to sit.

I don't know how many things can be put in that place, otherwise even if she lets her youngest son sit on it and rest, it will be better than this old cripple.

So when he saw that her man wanted to keep the old man, he immediately interrupted him.

It's good to follow her second uncle's house, not only is it less cumbersome, but it can also save a lot of food.

The old man and his son and daughter-in-law broke up unhappily.

Those people deliberately left a few catties of food to 'honor' the old man, turned around and ran away.

That speed, it's like a ghost chasing them behind.

The people of Jiangjia Village had not gone far, and Jiang Kangde's sons and daughters-in-law caught up after not long after.

The people walking behind saw them chasing after them and asked curiously, "Where did your father stay?" ”

The girl who spoke just now answered: "Harm, it's not, my grandfather has to be with the second grandfather and them, how can we be stubborn as juniors, but we have left food for his old man, and the second grandfather's family should not treat him badly." ”

The man praised, "You are still filial, and you have left food for them." ”

"Jiang Xiucai's daughter can't do it, if she doesn't refuse to give in, can her family be kicked out?"

The girl said again: "My aunt is right, my cousin is too pampered to be raised, and she doesn't know how to bow her head and be soft. ”

……

Everyone in Jiangjia Village has already left the city gate, and there are only four people from the Jiang family and the Wang family and the new old man left at the city gate.

After calming down, Jiang Kangde also felt that he was too impulsive just now.

He originally thought that their family would stay together, and that person would not be afraid of more roads, but he didn't expect that the few people in the family would have such an idea, and none of them were willing to stay.

On the contrary, he, an old man who was not in good health, stayed, didn't he cause trouble to the second brother's family!

Jiang Kangde said with some guilt: "Kangcheng, big brother can't stand you, you just go directly, it's also a burden for me to follow." ”

Old Man Jiang pretended to be angry and said: "Big brother, what did you say, where did you go up with all your strength just now, you can rest assured that our family is together." ”

Jiang Zhiyue also stepped forward in time and comforted him with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, if we have a bite to eat, we will never lose you." ”

The others also advised, "You should follow in peace." ”

Seeing that everyone didn't dislike him sincerely, he settled down a little.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the people of Jiangjia Village, who had walked out a hundred meters away, and originally thought that the next opportunity was to take out the food in the space for the villagers, but she didn't expect to make a fuss, so she left directly.

"Little sister, little sister? What do you want? Jiang Dalang patted Jiang Zhiyue's shoulder.

It turned out that I was too involved in thinking about things just now and was distracted.

Jiang Zhiyue came back to her senses and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Our dad asked you what to do next, should we go along?" Jiang Dalang said.

"Let's go after half an hour, you find a place to rest first, and I'll go out to do some errands."

Jiang Zhiyue left alone after speaking, and she hadn't done what she had promised others last night.

The Jiang family didn't ask her what she was going to do, but shouted in the back: "You remember to come back early." ”

……

At this time, the county seat was west.

Another group of people also gathered together at this time.

They were all depressed, and someone said, "Uncle Hengrong, it seems that the people over there are all gone, when will we leave." ”

Hengrong sat on a stone pier, looked at everyone who was a little angry, and said, "Let's wait until noon before we leave,"

Although the others didn't understand why they had to leave after noon, they thought that it would be the same when they left anyway, so they didn't say anything.

They sat in a circle of seventy or eighty people in the shade.

There is no expectation in the eyes, as if there is no hope in life.

Only the old Hengrong sat and stood for a while, and he kept pressing the excitement and apprehension in his heart.

Last night's events couldn't have been a dream he had when he fainted from hunger.

But he didn't dare to disobey the old fairy's will, what if he didn't do what the old fairy said and wouldn't give food.

Lao Hengrong, who was in a complicated mood, could only continue to wait restlessly.

And Jiang Zhiyue also came to the Liang Ji grain shop in the west of the city, she entered through the open door and found that it was also a mess inside.

She didn't look for any hidden place, and took out the food directly in a clean corner of the storefront.

She had already replaced the bag of grain with a hemp bag in advance, and one bag could hold almost 200 catties of grain.

With a wave of her hand, the food bags appeared in the corner in front of her, neatly stacked together.

I don't know how many Jiang Zhiyue people in the village of Old Hengrong, but it seems that there are no more than a hundred people.

So Jiang Zhiyue took out twenty-five bags of grain, which saved some money and enough for them to eat for several months.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zhiyue filled several large tanks in the courtyard behind the grain store with water.

After all, finding water is also a difficult thing now, and since you can help it, you can help others to the end.

After doing all this, Jiang Zhiyue quietly left again.

And she didn't know how amazing the food and water she had left behind was.

Seeing the sun hanging high above, Lao Hengrong couldn't sit still anymore.

Lao Hengrong stood up and waved his hand and said, "Let's go to Liang Ji Grain Store and have a look." ”

"Uncle Hengrong, didn't we already go to the grain shop when we came last night, and there was nothing left in the backyard warehouse, what are you going to do, let's save some effort here."

Lao Hengrong was as stubborn as a cow: "What nonsense, hurry up, everyone goes." ”

The big guy looked at Hengrong excitedly, so he had to get up from the ground and follow him.

Turning a street, a group of people arrived at the gate of Liang Kee's grain store.

A middle-aged man in the village saw Lao Hengrong take a deep breath at the door and do it again, but he didn't open the door.

He muttered, "Uncle, what are you doing, I said I didn't ...... anything here" No!!

The middle-aged man who couldn't help but open the door was stunned, what was going on?

He rubbed his eyes and looked incredulously at the corners of the room.

"Grain, Grain...... A lot of food!! ”

The screams of the middle-aged man broke the silence outside the door.
