I saw that the young man handed over a basket, handed it to Zhang, and helped Huiniang to sit down, and then turned to Cheng Shui with shame.

"Mother, alas, I already know about yesterday's incident, and it is the fault of my son-in-law that I failed to take care of the women and children in the family." As he spoke, he knelt down.

Cheng Shui didn't stop it, Hui Niang was a little distressed, and Zhang and Liu didn't know the inside story. One retreated with his child, and the other went out to report the news.

After touching the ground with his knees, the young man still looked like he was self-conscious, like a white lotus who sincerely admitted his mistakes.

"You don't have to, it's not me who is starving, and it's not Dalang who is starving. You are wrong, but you should not kneel down to me and admit your mistake. "Cheng Shui is slow and logical.

The young man was a little stunned, in this era, although human life is low, but it is difficult for ordinary people to see others kneeling to themselves without changing their faces, most of them are sincerely afraid, especially an ordinary peasant woman, it is impossible to have such momentum.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at this mother-in-law, who he rarely saw.

I saw that the old woman was coarse and linen, and her appearance was clean and tidy, as if she was no different from an ordinary woman. But he sat upright in front of the hall, like the old lady he had seen in his master's house, and even more imposing than the latter, and everything was in his chest.

At that moment, another burst of voices came: "Xu Ci!" You come out for me, you dare to come to my house! ”

This was Cheng Er, but immediately after, Cheng Da, Cheng San and Cheng Rui from the village chief's family also came in.

For a while, it was mighty, and Xu Ci couldn't help but be timid.

Only Cheng Shui sits firmly on Mount Tai. In fact, her mind is spinning fast right now!

She finally knew, the spanking of shit, the dynasty of shit, the famine of shit! It turns out that she is wearing a book!!

It turned out to be wearing a book! You ask her how she knows, it's not that Xu Ci's name is really familiar.

Academician Cheng, who is in his 40s, does not like sports or food in his daily life, and the only hobby is that he only likes to read novels and online novels.

And Xu Ci is the villain in a conspiracy novel she just finished reading! Because of the death of the old emperor and the edict of the new emperor ascending the throne, he went out to say goodbye to his classmates. But when he went out, the homeless people rushed into his house to grab food, his mother and young sister died tragically, and his wife died with two lives, it was a formed male fetus. In order to take revenge and gain power, he apprenticed to Han Shoufu, and the organs were exhausted; For the sake of military power, he did not hesitate to frame Zhongliang and kill people with a knife. The most important thing is that after knowing the truth, he will die under the male protagonist's knife!

The source of all the tragedies is this time, as if the price of food has simply risen!

Thinking of this, Cheng Shui couldn't help but shiver. There is more than one resignation, and in such a chaotic era, everyone is a resignation.

Silently sad, Cheng Shui turned his head and was silent after seeing Xu Ci, who was slapped with a panda eye by Cheng Er.

I'm not afraid of the villain being blackened, I'm afraid that the villain hasn't been blackened yet......

Xu Ci covered his left eye, and he was a little pitiful beside Hui Niang. Hui Niang stood in front of him and pleaded with the two brothers: "Big brother, second brother, Xu Lang only arrived home yesterday and didn't know it. This was all my idea, I asked my mother-in-law and little sister to sell eggs for food! ”

Cheng Da grabbed Cheng Er and motioned him to calm down: "Little sister, the next time this kind of thing happens, tell the family in time that it is not safe outside now, I don't think about you, and think about whether your mother-in-law will be in danger outside." ”

Hui Niang lowered her head: "It's my fault, I didn't think it through, the eldest brother and the second brother will forgive us." She begged.

Cheng Da looked at Mrs. Cheng, and the others also turned to Mrs. Cheng at this time.

Cheng Shui didn't answer, and first raised his eyes to look at Cheng Rui, the only outsider in the courtyard: "Brother Rui sit down first, and let your aunt bring you candy to eat." He gestured to Zhang.

Cheng Rui hurriedly waved his hand: "I just didn't know the situation, but when I saw that Brother Cheng and Second Brother Cheng were anxious, I came over to see the old lady, since there is nothing serious, I will go back and tell my father and grandfather, don't worry." With a slight salute, he turned around and left, and Zhang went to chase after him, but he didn't catch up.

Only his own family was left, Cheng Shui entered the back room, and the others looked at each other: "Don't come in yet, do you want me to invite you?" ”

Hearing this, everyone hurried into the house.

Inside the house, after Zhang and Liu brought water to everyone, they wanted to take Xiao'er to hide.

Cheng Shui waved his hand: "Don't be taboo, it's an extraordinary time." Everyone can listen to today's incident. As he spoke, he motioned for Cheng Hui to speak.

Cheng Hui naturally told the matter honestly.

It's not a big deal, Xu Ci has been separated after the death of his father in his early years, and the orphans and widows have been sheltering from the wind and rain in the old house for decades, and life is slowly getting better. It was also because of the separation of the family, when the two families got married, Mrs. Cheng was willing to marry her daughter.

It had been peaceful, but since last year's drought, the fields could not be cultivated. His uncle's family began to beg for food and money on the pretext of supporting his grandmother. In recent months, seeing that food prices are getting higher and higher, they have become even more evil.

"On that day, the girl told me that she saw the eldest aunt selling the grain she had stolen from our house. I'm also angry, but ...... Xu Lang is not here, I am pregnant again, and I heard the second brother say that my mother is not in good health and dare not bother. I thought about letting my mother-in-law sell her eggs for some food in case of emergency, alas, I was to blame for my poor consideration, but fortunately, nothing happened to my mother-in-law and the girl. "Hui Niang is really remorseful now.

She didn't expect that now food is priceless and unmarketable, and the husband is innocent of his guilt, in case something happens to her mother-in-law and the girl, she is really to blame.

Seeing that Huiniang blamed herself, Xu Ci held her hand and patted it: "Don't blame you, I should have arrived home two days earlier, but it was delayed because of a piece of news." Mother...... Mother-in-law, it's my fault, I shouldn't indulge my uncle's family, and I will definitely settle them down in the future. Xu Ci's words were chiseled, and a cold glint flashed in those eyes similar to those of a girl.

Cheng Shui knew that Xu Ci would definitely not let go of his uncle's family, although he studied the book of the sage, but he would repay it, and in the past, Li and Hui Niang were afraid that he would be upset and did not tell him, now that he knows, if he doesn't solve them, how dare he go out to study.

"You know in your heart that if you are short of food, you can also tell your family that we are also close relatives and should watch and help each other." Cheng Shui glanced at everyone and said seriously: "Even if it is borrowed from you, it will be the same." ”

Xu Ci understood what she meant, this was because he didn't want him to be ashamed.

Cheng Da was honest, and when he heard Mrs. Cheng say this, he also nodded. Although Cheng Er's heart hurts, he doesn't show it on his face, not to mention Cheng San, he is still a child. As for the two daughters-in-law, there is no place for them to call the shots in this era, just listen quietly.

"By the way, you just said that it was delayed because of a message, what is the news?" Cheng Shui turned to Xu Ci and asked.

"Yes...... The old emperor died, and the new emperor should soon ascend the throne. ”
