Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Chapter 17 The situation is getting serious

After Li Qiuhua said this, the room was quiet for a moment, and then he heard Mrs. Zhao sneer and said, "You still want to come back? Why do they have such faces? They are not from the Xu family, why should they be raised by the Xu family?"

Li Qiuhua clapped his hands and agreed excitedly, "That's right, we can't afford it. A pair of medicine costs two taels of silver. What kind of noble person are you? The young lady is a maid, and she is only the third fool, but she is willing to take a silver bracelet. Go pay for the medicine, you have so much money, what can you do? It’s good now, it’s all wasted, you can’t even hear a sound..."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at her and said, "Ms. Gu drank the medicine and your health didn't feel better?"

Li Qiuhua nodded hurriedly, "I saw it with my own eyes. Her face was pale, with no blood at all. She moved from the room to the door, only a few steps away, but she couldn't breathe. She was also speechless when she spoke. "Tsk, tsk, she relied on force. Before we left, she couldn't even stand up from the chair. Tsk, tsk, I think she is suffering while she is alive, it's not as good as..."

"Second sister-in-law!" Mrs. Zhao interrupted loudly. She just needed to understand some of the words in her heart, but it was too heartless and unjust to say it out loud. Even those who were listening felt chilled.

Li Qiuhua rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Oh, my mouth is not as sweet as his fourth aunt. I can't say nice things, let alone coax people..."

"Okay, what are you doing with all this?" Mrs. Zhao defended her niece and lowered her face in displeasure.

Li Qiuhua smiled sarcastically to please her, "Mom, I'm just praising my younger siblings."

Mrs. Zhao was too lazy to argue with her, and turned to ask little Mrs. Zhao, "What do you think?"

Xiao Zhao considered it carefully and said, "The third sister-in-law looks really weak and her temper is as soft as before. No matter what the second sister-in-law says, she is not angry..."

Mrs. Zhao felt that Li Qiuhua's words were unreliable, but she still believed her niece's words. After hearing this, she felt at ease and said calmly, "What right does she have to be angry? If she can't give birth to a son, she will have to be taken care of in the future... Let’s see how long she can last.”

"Then..."

Li Qiuhua took the words and shouted with an exaggerated look, "If her life is so determined, what will happen in the future? Oh my God, I just realized it. She is trying to suppress her father and mother, and she is also subjugating her son. Maybe she will do it again in the future. Kev…”

Even if she didn't like her third son, she still gave birth to her. Mrs. Zhao frowned and scolded her, "Shut up. You dare to say anything. Have you fed the chickens in the backyard? Watered the vegetable patch? Is the rice cooked?"

Li Qiuhua muttered softly, "Am I doing all this work alone?"

Wang Suyun, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said, "I'll go with you..."

Li Qiuhua couldn't figure out what she meant, but he didn't object foolishly, "Okay, then I'll trouble my sister-in-law."

The two left one after another and walked to the backyard. When there was no one around, Wang Suyun asked in a low voice, "Have you asked her third aunt what she has been eating these days?"

Li Qiuhua knew that her sister-in-law would not help without any reason. Sure enough, she came to ask her about the matter, "I asked, and she said that the third child dug wild vegetables from the mountain."

Wang Suyun frowned, thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Li Qiuhua's eyes flashed, "Don't you believe it, sister-in-law?"

Wang Suyun said, "I don't believe it or not. I just think that just eating weeds, their family of three can survive for so many days? The body of the third brother and sister does not need to be tortured."

Li Qiuhua said with a half-smile, "Hey, my sister-in-law is also worried about the hidden treasures in the Gu family? Before, I asked you to come with me, why did you refuse?"

Wang Suyun pretended to be calm and said, "You misunderstood. I have nothing to worry about. Besides, what kind of treasure can the Gu family have? If so, how could Gu Xiu not use it as a dowry for her daughter?"

Li Qiuhua couldn't stand her appearance. She and the boss were a couple, both sanctimonious, "Sister-in-law, just say you don't care about her. In fact, it's useless even if you care about her, because the Gu family has nothing. Haha, sister-in-law is. Aren’t you disappointed? Oh, we’ve all been busy in vain.”

Wang Suyun, "..."

At noon, Xu Huaiyi came back sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the RV, he took out a drink from the refrigerator and drank half of the bottle. Then he rushed into the bathroom to take a shower. While washing, he complained, "It's too hot. What is this?" What's the weather like? It's terrible. There's not a breath of wind in the mountains, it's as stuffy as a steamer..."

Gu Huanxi responded, "Is there any gain?"

"Oh, it's not as good as last time. This time I can't even dig wild vegetables..." Xu Huaiyi came out in shorts and sat on the sofa. He wiped his hair and said worriedly, "The situation is getting more and more serious. .”

Gu Huanxi was working on the lunch meal in the kitchen. Hearing this, he said without hesitation, "Then you can go to town for a walk in the afternoon."

"In town? There's no pawn shop in town."

"You go to the grain store first and ask what the price of grain is now. Is it good to buy it? Check out other stores too. Our information is too limited. Go and ask around. We have an idea, but it really can't be done. , just leave early.”

"Okay, I'll go after dinner."

……

Xujiacun is not far from the town. It is only seven or eight miles away and can be reached in half an hour. However, on a hot day, no one goes out under the sun at noon.

Except Xu Huaiyi.

He was wearing a straw hat, and when he rushed to the town, his back was soaked. But after walking around, he felt cold in his heart. The grain store had no food to sell! The doors are closed!

Other shops are open, but the prices are ridiculously high. Is this going to mess up the rhythm?

Xu Huaiyi hurried back to the village and went straight to the well in the village. When he walked there, he found a man standing by the well with a solemn expression and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Uncle."

When Xu Maoyuan heard the sound, he turned his head, as if he had not yet been separated from his thoughts, and said blankly, "Huaiyi, why are you here?"

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "Come and take a look."

After he finished speaking, he carefully leaned forward and took a look into the well. He frowned instantly and blurted out, "Why is the water level so shallow? The last time I came to carry water, it wasn't like this..."

Xu Maoyuan sighed and said in a serious tone, "The water level is getting shallower day by day. Now I can barely carry a few buckets to water the vegetables. But if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid there won't even be enough water for people to drink."

Xu Huaiyi was silent for a moment and then asked, "Uncle, do you have any plans?"

Xu Maoyuan clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the ground in the distance. At this moment, most of the crops in the field were gone, and the remaining ones were just struggling. He closed his eyes, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision. "If it doesn't rain within a month and the county government doesn't provide disaster relief within three months, we will have no choice but to flee. We can't stay here and wait to die."
