“Father-in-law, I advise you not to ask for those things. Others don’t have a single bite to eat, but your family eats meat every day.

By then everyone will come to rob your house, and it will be very difficult for you to survive."

Guo Jingtian immediately reminded him that the more animals there were, the more dangerous it would be for them.

When they entered the village just now, they already had several carriages of their own.

Although they still had some servants in the house, they could not defeat the crowds of people who came to steal food.

"It's okay. I'll find a way to hide it. You don't have to worry about it."

Mr. Chen also thought about the danger he mentioned, but if he didn't have anything to eat, he would starve to death, so he still wanted to give it a try.

At most, if they as a family are a little more careful and the servants are a little more alert, everything should be fine!

"Haha, we haven't eaten meat for a long time. Jingtian, we can't beat you, but others can give it a try."

Guo Daoyou spoke loudly on purpose.

"Yes, this is our Guojia Village after all, and everyone wants to survive.

Brothers, we must work together to get some meat to eat. Only by eating meat can we have strength. "

Guo Jingxuan also shouted loudly that it was obvious that Mr. Chen wanted to rob them, the Jingtian brothers, so they would not be polite.

Guo Jinglin and other people who were not seriously injured, all gathered around with knives in hand.

"Father-in-law, do you still want this? I'll give you the mule later.

If they want to rob you, I can't stop them, after all, they are my brothers too."

Guo Jingtian continued to speak in embarrassment.

"I've worked so hard to raise my daughter, you should give me something in return, right?"

Mr. Chen knew that the people from the Guo family were threatening him, but he was unwilling to give up without getting anything.

"Okay, I'll think of a way."

Guo Jingtian didn't want to continue wasting time with him here, so he walked over to Guo Jingxuan.

"Cousin Jingxuan, can you lend me ten kilograms of food? Don't worry, I will definitely pay it back."

“No, don’t say I don’t care about our brotherhood, I can only lend you two kilograms at most.

Nowadays, two kilograms of food can save an adult man, so don't think it's too little.

Besides, it’s already a certain time now, it doesn’t matter whether the Yue family wants this or not.

If he dares to cause trouble again, just let us pick him off directly."

Guo Jingxuan looked at Chen Yuanwai fiercely and said that he wanted to deal with this old man, and he was speaking from the heart.

He saw them pulling several carriages into the village.

If they really deal with the Chen group, they will indeed be able to get a share of the meat.

"Okay, two pounds is two pounds, thank you brother!"

Guo Jingtian gave him a gift in gratitude.

In the end, he borrowed another two kilograms from Guo Jingming, but when he asked to borrow from other people later, they refused.

"Father-in-law, you can see that I can only lend you this much food. If you still think it's not enough, then I can't do anything about it.

I respect you as my father-in-law, and I will do my best in everything you ask me to do.

But I hope you, father-in-law, won’t force me, because even a rabbit will bite when it is anxious.”

Guo Jingtian didn't want to waste time with him here, but he also didn't want him to ask for too much.

“Okay, you are my son-in-law after all, Jingtian, don’t be angry.

There is no other way I can do this, we really have no food left.

But don't worry, after the snowstorm, I will not only get you the recommendation letter, but I will also find a way to get you into the examination to become a scholar."

Mr. Chen knew that a scholar could actually be bought with money, it just depended on whether you had the connections and enough money.

However, if this were to be discovered, it would be a serious crime and most people would not dare to do this.

"No, thank you, father-in-law! We'll talk about the future later.

My house has been occupied by Li Zheng and his family. Now we have no place to live, so how can we even think about the future? Father-in-law, take care of your family."

Guo Jingtian bowed to him and left.

Buying a scholar, not to mention spending a lot of money, if it is discovered by the court, the whole family will be executed.

It's totally unnecessary and not worth it, so no one would do it.

After Mr. Chen left with the food, Guo Jingtian began to lead his men into the mountains.

"Wife, please sit on the horse's back so your clothes won't get wet."

Guo Jingtian was afraid that her clothes would get wet and she would get cold and sick. Their house didn't have much stuff, so it wouldn't have any effect if his wife sat on the horse.

"No, don't worry, I'm not cold."

Chen Wanqing would never abuse herself. She wore a raincoat under her clothes and two sets of warm clothes under the raincoat.

"Even if you're not cold, the snow is too high. Be good."

The snow is now more than a person tall. Anyone standing in the snow will be buried.

Guo Jingtian knew that she had warm clothes, but he still didn't want her to walk.

"Ok."

Seeing that he insisted, Chen Wanqing did not object.

"Jingtian, what should we do if we can't get all the food?"

Guo Jingming suffered a serious injury in his stomach and is now unable to exert any strength.

Although I have two younger brothers, my father is old and the others are elderly and children.

They still had some extra food at home, but they couldn't just throw it away in the current situation.

"Then put it on our mule, and let my sister-in-law and the others carry the quilts. This way they will be warmer."

Guo Jingtian looked at his father's three large quilts and his clothes and pants.

These things were not heavy, so the women and children could carry them, so that the horses and mules could pull some food.

“Jingtian, we can’t move all the food here, so we moved it here little by little.

Now we are going into the mountains, and we can't carry food back and forth, otherwise others will find us.

But we can’t throw away the food at this time, what should we do now?”

Guo Daoyou also ran over and said that before the snowstorm, he listened to his cousin and did not sell all the food at home, so they still had a lot of food.

"Sir, we can find some big wooden boards, tie long ropes to them and place them on the snow so that the horses can pull them.

It can be used to tow a lot of stuff, just like a wagon, as long as the planks are wide enough so the snow won’t sink in.”

Chen Wanqing said that although the snow now is soft, it will not sink as long as it covers a large area.

After all, it has been snowing for many days and the snow underneath has become hard.

"Yes, this is a good idea. It can relieve us of a lot of burden."

Guo Jingtian immediately asked someone to find a large wooden board. There wasn't much food at the moment, but such a large wooden board could still be found.

In the past, every household had stored firewood, and at first, no one would be willing to burn these large wooden boards.

It didn't take long before two horses and a mule were tied with a long rope and a large wooden board was pulled behind them.
