Chapter 110: Famine is Coming
When I was a child, my family was very poor and we couldn’t even afford food, let alone jewelry. I had never even seen a red hairband.
Later, she married Wang Quezi. Old Lady Wang and Wang Quezi both bullied her, often beating and scolding her, and not giving her food, let alone jewelry.
Shen Zhaodi quickly wiped her hands and gently touched the silver hairpin, "This is really beautiful, give it to me?"
Shen Lianxin felt distressed when she saw her expression, and inserted the hairpin directly into Shen Zhaodi's head, "Big sister, you look so beautiful wearing this hairpin."
Shen Zhaodi was a little overwhelmed. She rubbed her hands back and forth, but the corners of her mouth kept rising. "Really? I'll wear it, okay?"
Shen Lianxin took a bronze mirror and said, "Great! That's great! Big sister is still charming and beautiful with this hairpin. From now on, you should dress up well and live for yourself."
Shen Zhaodi looked at herself in the mirror. She looked much better and looked clean and refreshed. She looked more energetic after staying at Shen Lianxin's house for these days, and even had some flesh on her face.
The silver hairpin on her head makes her look so pretty and noble. It turns out that she can be so beautiful.
A line of clear tears flowed from his eyes, and he kept saying, "From now on, I will live for myself."
Shen Lianxin wiped her tears and said, "Yes, and you must live a wonderful and beautiful life!"
From this moment on, Shen Zhaodi felt that she had truly broken away from the past and started a new life.
Shen Lianxin took out 6 new sets of clothes for Shen Zhaodi, three sets were thin and three sets were cotton.
"So many?" Shen Zhaodi looked at Shen Lianxin.
"Not much. I always have to change some. And these are for the children."
We made 4 sets of clothes for each person, 2 sets for the clothes we wear now and sets of cotton-padded clothes.
"Look, this is for Xiaohua, this is for Xiaoya, this is for Xiaohui. This is for Xiaozhen." She gave them all to Shen Zhaodi.
"Good. The children will be very happy to see it later."
As he was speaking, Zhaocai at the door passed on a message, "Madam, the head of the village is here!!"
When Shen Lianxin heard this, she realized that the village head had come to her house just after she returned and was waiting for her, so something must have happened.
Shen Lianxin came out to greet them. The headman looked in good spirits. The old man had a smile on his face and was happy to see Shen Lianxin.
"Shen, you're back." He rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly.
Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows, "Village Chief, please sit down. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
The village head sighed, "I'll be frank. The day for us to harvest potatoes is not far away. The potatoes in our fields are growing so well. All the villagers are very happy."
Shen Lianxin frowned, "It's not even three months yet, the potatoes haven't been harvested yet, right? How do you know they're growing well?"
"It wasn't a famine, but many families couldn't make ends meet, so they hurried to dig up some potatoes from the fields. The potatoes were a little small, about the size of an egg, but the families who dug the potatoes said there were a lot of them, and the seeds were yellow and delicious."
Shen Lianxin understood that this was because they had been dug out in advance before the harvest.
The village head felt a little distressed. "These potatoes are really a good harvest. It's a pity to dig them out like this. Besides, the contract for these potatoes originally included your half."
Shen Lianxin looked at the old man. When did he become so good at beating around the bush?
"Li Zheng, if you have something to say, just speak up."
The village head was a little embarrassed. "Well, there is still more than half a month before the harvest. During this period, can you lend us some more food to get through this month? When the harvest comes, we will make up for it. The potatoes are a great harvest, so I will let each family give you an extra 10%."
Shen Lianxin understood that he came to borrow grain.
Shen Zhaodi also understood that her sister was really promising. Even the head of the village came to discuss things with her politely. She could not help in that, so she went to prepare tea and snacks.
"Okay. Call some people to come to the door of Shen's house and move the food. How much do you want? Is 500 kilograms enough? And some flour?"
When the village head heard this, he stamped his feet and said, "Oh! That's enough. Thank you so much. I thank you on behalf of the whole village! I will make it clear to his family that this is all the grain you provided, and I will give you 10% more when the harvest is good."
Shen Lianxin waved her hands. She didn't care whether it was one percent more or less. The head of the village was running around and working hard, but it wasn't for him.
"Then tomorrow, come tomorrow, I'll leave the food at the door and let Zhaocai give it to you."
"Hey!! Our village has a Shen family, what a blessing!!"
After the matter was settled, the headman was about to leave, and Shen Zhaodi just happened to bring up tea and snacks.
"Are you leaving? I've prepared some tea and snacks. Have some."
The head of the village waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'll go back and tell everyone the good news, otherwise everyone will be so sad that they won't even be able to drink water."
Shen Lianxin grabbed the village head, wrapped the snacks on the plate in oil paper and stuffed them into the village head's arms, "Take it back and let the child have a taste."
The head of the village was a little embarrassed and said, "No, no."
The snack looked expensive, and they had never seen it before, so how could they afford to take it?
Shen Lianxin pushed him to the door and said, "Don't be polite with me!"
The head of the village had tears in his eyes. This Shen was really different. She never cared about the villagers.
After seeing off the head of the village, Shen Lianxin prepared to go to the old house. Winter was coming, so she prepared cotton clothes for everyone. Her parents and brothers were also at the old house, so she naturally couldn't forget them.
Shen Zhaodi looked at Shen Lianxin, wanting to say something but stopping herself. It was obvious from her expression that something was wrong. Shen Lianxin took her hand and said, "Big sister, is there something wrong?"
After thinking for a while, Shen Zhaodi said, "Fourth sister, we have your support in our village, so at least everyone can survive. In other villages, people have already starved to death."
Shen Lianxin was shocked. Someone had already starved to death? Was the famine about to begin?
"Is it really like this?" The countryside is different from the towns. Without food, everything is gone. After a large number of refugees poured into Yuncheng, restrictions were placed on their entry. The city was overcrowded, with too many refugees and improper resettlement, which could easily lead to riots.
The number of refugees that Yuncheng can accommodate has reached its upper limit. Many people who fled to Yuncheng to escape famine were only allowed to enter the city to replenish some supplies, and they were not allowed to stay overnight in the city. Even the amount of food they could buy was limited per person, just to prevent Yuncheng from running out of supplies and leaving its own people without food.
Shen Zhaodi continued, "The head of Shanghe Village has decided to take the entire village with him to escape the famine."
Shen Lianxin nodded. Her abilities were limited, at least given her current status. No matter how capable she was, she was just a peasant woman. It was her limit for her to do her best to protect the people of Yunshan Village.
Seeing that Shen Lianxin didn't understand what she meant, she sighed and said directly, "Fourth sister, Jinxin, Jinxin married to Shanghe Village."
Shen Jinxin?
