Infinite Doomsday: I rely on space to stock up and bully the scum

Zhao Daqiang is dead?

Wasn’t it said that the scourge would last for thousands of years? How come he died so suddenly?

Li Chunhua was very happy. She covered her mouth and whispered, "It is said that Zhao Daqiang used to sell grain for the villagers and took away almost all the grain of the villagers. Now there is a severe drought, and those people are so angry that they went to Zhao Daqiang to ask for an explanation, but the Zhao family refused to admit that they had grain. So they smashed the Zhao family and took away all the edible things. It was a mess at the time, and no one cared about Zhao Daqiang who had a stroke. Later, when the head of Zhaojia Village came, they found that he was dead."

"This Zhao Daqiang is also the elder of Zhaojia Village, tsk tsk tsk."

Jiang Jiang also felt a little sad, but she didn't feel guilty. Zhao Daqiang was the first to harm people's hearts, and he would eventually perish if he did too much evil.

However, selling grain was indeed not an easy job, just as Jiang Jiang had thought.

Even if the price is high, people may not be grateful.

But when faced with natural disasters or man-made calamities, people who are short of food will feel resentful.

It's really a thankless job.

Fortunately, the situation in Daixi Village is different. When the price of grain was low, everyone bought a lot of grain and stored it at home. Faced with the current predicament, at least they are not panicked.

"No water! No water!"

Looking at the thin half bucket of turbid water in front of them, everyone in the yard fell silent.

Another well, no water.

The villagers were like zombies, carrying empty buckets, not knowing where to go.

Three days later, the last well with water in Daxi Village also dried up.

All luck and expectations vanished at this moment.

Everyone in Daxi Village knows that this year's harvest will be difficult.

Looking at the green rice in the fields, everyone in Daxi Village felt heartbroken. Cutting flesh with a slow knife is the most painful.

"Village Chief, why don't we harvest early? At least we can still get some harvest."

Jiang Jiang suggested that if the crops in the field were exposed to the sun for a few more days, they would probably die. If they were harvested now, they could still survive.

Li Shuming was also a little hesitant. Jiang Jiang's approach seemed to be the wisest at the moment, but what if, what if it rained later?

Looking at the cloudless sky, Li Shuming smiled bitterly.

He might be a little crazy. How could it rain in this weather?

"Let's collect the food. We'll collect as much as we can."

Li Shuming said this with some difficulty. It was time for him to make plans for Daxi Village.

For many years, the river in Daxi Village has never dried up. If it really comes to that, I'm afraid...

In this way, the people of Daxi Village began to harvest crops in advance. At this time, the crops were almost not yet mature, and the yield was small. A lot of the rice was watery, but at least it was edible.

When the neighboring Willow Village saw what happened to Daxi Village, they began to laugh at the joke.

Once the crops are harvested, they cannot be planted again, so the entire Daxi Village will have no harvest this year.

What a bunch of fools.

Except for a very few families, the villagers of Daxi Village who were called fools chose to listen to the village chief. The people of Daxi Village must advance and retreat together.

Jiang Jiang's family had five acres of dry land and five acres of fertile land, and they harvested a total of four stone of grain, about five hundred kilograms. However, this was the weight before the shell was removed and the water was not removed. The amount that could actually be eaten was even less.

However, when fleeing from famine, even rice husks and rice bran are the best food to fill your stomach.

But before the green rice could turn into rice and enter the Jiang Jiang family's stomach, someone came to ask for money.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

Sun Qiaoqiao was a little surprised to see that her parents went straight to her house without informing her.

Especially when she saw that the two men had nothing in their hands, she knew that they were here to extort money again.

Unlike Huang Ying, whose parents lived in this village, she married into the Li family from another village. Her parents accepted a betrothal gift of eight taels of silver, but did not give her any dowry. An old cotton mattress and a few sets of old clothes were all her belongings.

Because of this incident, Sun Qiaoqiao has never been liked by the original owner.

But her parents haven't been to the Li family for more than two years, so why did they suddenly come today?

Seeing Sun Qiaoqiao blocking the door, Sun Qiaoqiao's father Sun Dali was unhappy.

"Why, you haven't been back to your parents' home for two years, and your parents are coming to see you, but you're still blocking the door?"

Sun Qiaoqiao's mother also rolled her eyes at Sun Qiaoqiao. What a shame, she is already a mother of several children, but why is she still the same as before she got married, dull and dazed? She doesn't know how to read expressions. Or are her grandchildren smarter?

The purpose of the Sun family's visit was simple: to get some free money.

"Qiaoqiao, what are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you invite the two relatives in?"

When Jiang Jiang heard the noise at the door, he knew what had happened.

"Dad, Mom, come in."

Sun Qiaoqiao then opened the door and let Sun Dali and Yu Xiaotao in.

The last time was more than two years ago, not long after she gave birth to her baby, Sun Dali and Yu Xiaotao also came.

At that time, Sun Qiaoqiao thought that the two men came to visit her daughter, but she didn't expect that the two men took away all the eggs for her daughter's confinement and the hen that the original owner had stewed, saying that the little grandson in the family had just been born and needed nourishment.

Their grandson needs some supplements, but what about her son Laibao?

He was such a small child that Sun Qiaoqiao was worried that he wouldn’t survive.

From that moment on, Sun Qiaoqiao completely broke away from these two people and never returned to her parents' home again.

"Mother-in-law, look at how miserable Sun Qiaoqiao is. I'm sure she's caused you a lot of worry at home."

Yu Xiaotao said this with a smile, and from her expression, it was impossible to imagine how much hurt her words had caused to Sun Qiaoqiao.

Jiang Jiang grabbed Sun Qiaoqiao's hand.

"I am satisfied with my wife. For someone like my Li Sheng, marrying a wife as capable and capable as Qiaoqiao is a blessing that I have accumulated in eight lifetimes."

Sun Qiaoqiao had never been praised so directly before, and her eyes became red.

"Well, as long as she lives well, that's all that matters." Seeing Jiang Jiang's look, Yu Xiaotao just agreed awkwardly.

Sun Dali coughed twice, and without further reminiscing with Jiang Jiang, he spoke directly: "Mother-in-law, life is tough right now. The children at home are so hungry that they are pale and thin, and they are crying for their aunt. We have the audacity to come to you. Can you share some food with us so that the children at home can have enough to eat?"

"Well, to be honest, the river and well in Daxi Village have dried up, and we can't even take care of ourselves."

Who doesn't know how to play the victim?

"Your Daxi Village has just harvested the crops, how is it possible that there is no food!"

Yu Xiaotao was so angry that she said it out loud.

It seems that he came here eagerly because he knew that the grain had been harvested in Daxi Village.

Jiang Jiang was too lazy to ask more questions as it would make him look stupid.

"Mother-in-law, father-in-law, our family has only collected a little food, which is not enough for us to eat. At most, I will give you five pounds to take back. Don't let the children starve."

"Five pounds is not enough!" Seeing that Yu Xiaotao wanted to make trouble again.

"Since you don't like it, forget it. Just return my grandson's eggs to me next time." Jiang Jiang waved his hand and asked Li Xu and Li Sheng to see them off.

Sun Qiaoqiao remained silent in the face of her parents' scolding. She knew that if it weren't for those nephews, her parents would never have thought of her.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. Sun Qiaoqiao went straight back to the house to take care of Li Laibao.

Considering the last bit of dignity, Li Sheng gave them three kilograms of green rice.

The old couple returned to the village cursing all the way.

Jiang Jiang felt a sense of urgency. The famine was really coming!
