Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

Wang Dachui ultimately could not escape the fate of being drafted into the army, but his father managed to escape by pretending to be seriously injured.

After the officers and soldiers left, the Queen Mother collapsed on the ground, wailing heart-wrenchingly, her voice revealing endless despair and pain.

"Why are you still howling? Hurry up and leave!" Wang's father glared at her with a hint of anger in his eyes.

The Queen Mother was stunned, and looked at the King's father with tears in her eyes. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Master, are we just leaving like this? What about Dachui? If he wants to find us in the future, how will he find us?"

As she spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes again, and her voice was choked with sobs that it was heartbreaking.

Seeing this, Wang's father could no longer suppress his anger and roared, "Cry, cry, cry! What else can you do besides crying? If you don't leave now, are you going to stay here and wait to die?"

The Queen Mother was so frightened by the roar that she dared not cry anymore. She just stood there in a daze, her face blank.

At this moment, Wang Jingang was suddenly frightened by his father's roar and burst into tears, calling out to his father in his cries: "Dad, I want Dad! Woo woo..."

Wang's father was already upset, and his grandson's crying made him even more furious. He glared at Wang Jingang fiercely, "Shut up! If you cry again, I'll throw you here to feed the wolves!"

Wang Jingang was frightened by his father's threat and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to make any more sounds. Wang's mother quickly packed up her things, helped Wang's father up, and then took her grandson to chase in the direction the team left.

On the other side, Zeng Zhengen led the team to continue retreating towards the mountain. The refugees had been following them, but when they saw them walking up the mountain, they stopped and turned to walk towards another official road.

Zeng Zhengen had no intention of taking these refugees with him, and when he saw that they did not follow him, he did not pay much attention to them. Soon, Zeng Zhengen led the villagers of Dapo Village back to the cave they had been in.

The people from Zhangguanbao followed closely behind, believing that following Zeng Zhengen was undoubtedly the wisest choice. Just as they settled down, they heard bursts of wailing outside the cave.

It turned out that although a family in Zhangguanbao evacuated with the group, they had no cart and were carrying children and a pile of luggage, so some of the children were separated in the chaos.

"Erdan! Where are you, my dear grandson? It's all grandma's fault. Grandma failed to keep an eye on you!" The cries of Mrs. Zhang echoed outside the cave. She was an elderly woman from Zhangguanbao. She usually loved to gossip in the village, but today she cried out in grief because of the disappearance of her grandson.

The crying woman was none other than Mrs. Zhang from Zhangguanbao. Mrs. Zhang usually gossiped and spread rumors in the village all day long.

The villagers had always complained about Mrs. Zhang. Although she was annoying, they didn't care too much because of her poor family background. However, Mrs. Zhang cried very sadly because her grandson was missing. A villager nearby couldn't bear it and comforted her, but Mrs. Zhang still cried.

Seeing this, Yang Xuyu, the village chief of Zhangguanbao, felt helpless, so he stood up and suggested: "Let's all go look for him together. Maybe the child is lost at the foot of the mountain!" After all, everyone is from the same village. When encountering such a situation, even if the adults are wrong, the children are always innocent.

However, as soon as Yang Xuyu finished speaking, except for the villager who had comforted Mrs. Zhang, the rest of the villagers dispersed and no one was willing to help.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang cried even more sadly: "My poor grandson! These black-hearted people are unwilling to lend a helping hand. You heartless people will not die a good death. You all have evil hearts. You all have to accompany my grandson!"

Mrs. Zhang cried and cursed, her voice getting more and more intense. When the villagers heard her abuse, their faces changed and they all showed annoyance. Seeing this scene, Yang Xuyu couldn't stand it and scolded: "Mrs. Zhang, shut up! When you were in the village, you offended many people because of your gossip. Now you need everyone's help, but you are still making trouble. I tell you, if you continue like this, I will not bother to take care of your family's affairs."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she opened her mouth, but her husband covered her mouth. He quickly said to Yang Xuyu in a flattering manner: "Village Chief, my wife is too worried that's why she said that. Please bear with me."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang's husband was sincere, Yang Xuyu reluctantly accepted his explanation and stopped caring. He said coldly, "Okay, stop wasting time. Hurry up and find the child along the way you came. Finding the child is the most important thing."

"Village chief, we understand what you mean, but there are only two of us, and we may not be able to find him. And if we encounter bandits on the road, won't we be dying in vain?" Mrs. Zhang's husband knew that they could not find his grandson by relying on the two of them, so he tried to get Yang Xuyu to send more people to help.

Although Yang Xuyu understood his difficulties, he also faced difficulties because Mrs. Zhang had offended many villagers. In the end, Yang Xuyu decided: "Well, I will let my two sons go with you to find her." This was all he could do.

Seeing that Yang Xuyu had no further arrangements, Mrs. Zhang's husband was somewhat dissatisfied, so he took the initiative to say, "Village Chief, can you let Zhang Yong's wife come to help? Everyone knows her ability. If she can come, the hope of finding the child will be greater."

The village chief couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard this. He knew that Mrs. Zhang's request was too unreasonable. Although Zhang Yong's wife was very capable, the current situation was not suitable for her to come forward. He said coldly: "Zhang Mazi, don't bother Zhang Yong's wife with this matter. She is now..."

Before Yang Xuyu could finish, Mrs. Zhang pushed away Zhao Mazi who was covering her mouth and shouted, "Why don't you let her come to help? We lost my grandson because we followed her instructions. I don't care. If she doesn't find my grandson today, I will hit my head and die in front of their door!"

Mrs. Zhang's behavior fully demonstrated her true nature, and the villagers present could only watch her farce helplessly. Yang Xuyu's face instantly turned gloomy.

"Mrs. Zhang, if you continue to be so arrogant and unreasonable, we will no longer help you." Yang Xuyu said coldly, his tone full of majesty and determination.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she slapped her thigh, sat on the ground and began to wail: "My poor grandson, why is no one willing to help? You people are all heartless, you deserve retribution!"

Her wailing and angry behavior attracted a lot of attention, but Yang Xuyu had decided to ignore her commotion.
