Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine
Chapter 68 Determined to give up food
Yao Shu took a look at her own food. There wasn't much left. It was only enough for them to last for another ten days, but it was already much better than the others in Dahe Village.
Her thoughts kept changing, and it was really difficult to make a choice.
If she really lets it go, will those who are driven into a hurry really not attack the food in their hands?
Yao Shu couldn't give a definite answer, and she didn't want to gamble. In her opinion, they and the people in Dahe Village were like grasshoppers on a rope. It was impossible to completely ignore them.
"Little Cao Niang, share half of the food."
She had already made a decision to use food to save people first. As for how the Shen family would face the situation of food shortage, she would wait until later.
The most important thing is to get through the immediate crisis first.
She didn't think that the Shen family could preserve food among a group of hungry people. Even if they managed to escape, their situation in the future would not be much better.
"Mom, what are you..."
This was the first time that Ms. Zhao did not immediately follow Yao Shu's instructions. She stood motionless. This was life-saving food for the family!
Under Yao Shu's gaze, she did not dare to have any thoughts of resistance. She could only look at Shen Qiu for help, hoping that her man would be able to say something at the critical moment.
"Mom, what are you going to do with the food?"
Shen Qiu asked weakly.
Now that they have not separated, Yao Shu is the one in charge. Logically speaking, Shen Qiu should not ask such questions, but he has some vague guesses about Yao Shu's plans and cannot ignore them.
If he didn't speak at this time, he was afraid that the whole family would starve to death.
"Take it to the village chief. Our family can't just watch everyone starve to death. People are so hungry that they can do anything. Just treat it as a waste of money and disaster relief."
Yao Shu did not hide her plans at all. We are all a family and have the right to know these things.
She also doesn't want to leave conflicts between the family.
"But we don't even have enough at home..."
Not only did Shen Qiu disapprove, but the rest of the Shen family were worried, fearing that if Yao Shu impulsively gave away the food, their family would have to suffer from the northwest wind.
When it comes to their own interests, each of them is more nervous than anyone else.
"Mom, you can't do anything stupid."
"They have always disliked us, so why should we care about them?"
"We are starving to death here, but we can still find food in the mountains..."
Everyone was chattering non-stop, with the same ultimate goal, which was to hold on to their own grain bags, even if they were unwilling to give away even half a grain of grain.
Yao Shu's head hurt from the noise. She could understand everyone's anxiety, but some things had to be done, and they had to take a longer-term view.
Just when she was thinking about how to explain the key to everyone, she heard a slapping sound beside her. When she turned around, she saw Shen Nanshan slapping the tree trunk with a baggage.
"Everyone, please calm down. Your mother has the final say in this family. You are right to do as your mother says. Everyone, please be honest with me. If you don't like it, get out of this house!"
Shen Nanshan rarely displayed the majesty of the head of the family.
The children at home are still very afraid of Shen Nanshan. Even though their father follows their mother with a playful smile all day long, it is their father after all, so how can they not be afraid.
It's better now, everyone is honest and they don't dare to speak anymore.
If they were really kicked out, they would really starve to death outside. How dare they make too much noise.
Yao Shu looked at the people around her in surprise. She really didn't expect that Shen Nanshan could still control the children in the family when he was so "domineering". This made her take a high look. I also had a different feeling in my heart.
Since everyone stopped protesting, it saved her a lot of effort.
"You will know what I just said if you think about it carefully. I am doing this for the sake of the whole family, little grass girl, please hurry up."
Seeing Zhao's slow movements, Yao Shu urged.
"What? Now I can't control you, can I?"
"No, it's nothing."
Mrs. Zhao quickly defended herself. How could she dare to have such thoughts? She would never dare. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would blame her. She moved much faster and quickly packed up half of the food and handed it to Yao Shu. .
Even if she shared half of it, she was still thinking carefully. The food she gave out was not very good, and she couldn't let her family suffer too much.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao felt so guilty that she did not dare to look into Yao Shu's eyes, for fear of being blamed.
But Yao Shu said nothing. She was not so "kind-hearted". The reason why she gave away the food was because she had no better choice.
Taking the food, Yao Shu walked towards the direction of the village chief.
She looked around, but she didn't see the village chief. The place where he usually stood was already full of people.
After distinguishing carefully, she realized that the village chief was surrounded by everyone and had been submerged in the crowd.
When Yao Shu walked over, she found that the place was very noisy. The village chief was facing the same dilemma she had encountered before. He was being surrounded by people to borrow food. It was really embarrassing.
"Village Chief, you can't just watch these guys starve to death."
"You are the village chief, so you have to come up with an idea at this time."
"That's right, just give some food to my family. I don't want much, just a bowl of potatoes..."
A bowl of potatoes may not be much, but the people around you don’t know how many. If no one shares a bit, it may not be enough even if the village chief’s family’s food storage is emptied.
As the village chief, he bears more pressure and responsibilities.
At this moment, he was undoubtedly being roasted on the fire.
As a bystander, Yao Shu couldn't bear to watch. If she hadn't come here like this, I'm afraid the village chief would have forced him to hand over some of the food.
"Ahem, everyone, please give in. I have something to discuss with the village chief."
She shouted loudly, and everyone turned to look at her, but did not make any move. Some people still resented Yao Shu's unwillingness to borrow food.
"Everyone has something to do with the village chief, so just wait."
"We'll talk about it after we've discussed things."
Looking at the wall of people in front of her, Yao Shu frowned. The rogue faces of everyone at this time were really annoying.
"I have a way to get food. If you still want to take advantage of me, just get out of the way."
Yao Shu spoke very straightforwardly, and to this extent, she could only make everyone listen to her words. Now everyone only has food in their eyes, and other than that, nothing can make everyone regain their sense for a moment.
Sure enough, after that, everyone didn't make any more noise.
