Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 160 Why can they enjoy such a luxurious life?

Old Mrs. Tian came over, grabbed Old Man Tian by the ear and said, "You damn old man, you really have the nerve to eat at other people's houses. In this year of disaster, who would allow you to do this?"

Old Man Tian groaned twice and said, "Wife, wife, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."

Mrs. Bai laughed beside her: "It's okay, my husband is also a heavy drinker, and he just happened to find a companion."

Mrs. Tian laughed and said, "My son is a heavy drinker. He used to be addicted to alcohol, but now he has finally given it up."

I have to quit eating because food is so scarce now.

Old Man Tian smiled and said:

"Isn't it? This famine is really too difficult. All the things in my family were robbed by the relatives of the family. There is not even much food left for us.

If it weren't for family ties, I would have wanted to kill them all."

Mrs. Tian glared at him and said:

"They are all family, if they want food, just give it to them!

As long as everyone is alright, you haven't seen enough along the way!"

Old Man Tian fell silent. He had seen so much along the way, more than he had ever seen in his entire life.

Old Man Tian is very knowledgeable in this industry, but he can't stand it.

Old Man Tian drank a glass of wine and said calmly:

"We witnessed with our own eyes that the parents handed their biological daughter over to the other party, who was from our village.

They put the child into the steamer. My heart almost jumped out of my chest. I wanted to shout and stop them.

But my throat seemed to be blocked by something and I couldn’t utter a single word.”

After Old Man Tian finished speaking, he realized that his eyes were filled with tears. Mrs. Tian wiped her tears and said, "This is fate. Even if we saved the child, she still couldn't escape her own fate."

Master Bai also took a sip of wine:

“Those who died of starvation were the common people, while those officials were still enjoying a feast of fish and meat every day, weren’t they?

Why can they eat as much as they want while we have to starve to death?"

Old Man Tian also said angrily:

"That's right! Those officials took advantage of their positions to embezzle the disaster relief supplies.

Under normal circumstances, taxes should be reduced or exempted to help the people recuperate, but those corrupt officials ignored the disaster and continued to levy heavy taxes, increasing the burden on the people.

In order to cover up their evil deeds, they often collude with some local wealthy businessmen and evil forces.

They clearly had food, but were unwilling to hand it over.

Brother, I feel bad! Woo woo woo..."

Old Man Tian was also a sentimental person, and Master Bai's tears slowly flowed down his face: "The people are suffering, it's unbearable, who will save us?"

Lin Wanwan also sighed softly. Life in this world is really too difficult. Only a few people can survive, let alone save others.

She was a doctor in her previous life, and she felt very sad when she saw those people who starved to death or froze to death.

If there was a way, she would also like to help more people, but unfortunately she is still breastfeeding, and it is unlikely that she can do what Master Bai can't do.

She closed her eyes and continued listening, and soon both of them were drunk.

Zhao Qiaoniang said, "Let's go to the nearby mountains and look around to see if there's any prey."

It is definitely not an option to live off the food. They do have quite a bit of food now, but with so many people feeding them every day, the food is gradually becoming less.

Several women from the Tian family also came over. Mrs. Tian smiled and said, "My two daughters-in-law are about the same age as you. Why don't you take them with you? They are very obedient!"

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and said, "Okay! Then put on the backpack and let's go to the mountains to look for wild vegetables and see if there is any water."

Mrs. Tian nodded quickly and said, "That's good. To be honest, we don't have enough water."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the two and said, "Then let's go to the mountain! Bring some water..."

They saw the two of them putting dozens of water bags into the bamboo basket. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tian family said, "These water bags are all empty. There are only a few left."

Zhao Qiaoniang was speechless. Water bags were extremely scarce. Only a few wealthy families had a few water bags. Most people used bamboo tubes or pottery.

A group of people walked towards the mountain. Zhao Qiaoniang was still following Naitang. Not long after they walked out, Naitang ran out.

Zhao Qiaoniang and her group followed closely. Naitang led them in twists and turns, and they all felt a little dizzy.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tian family whispered, "Qiao Niang, where are we going now?"

Zhao Qiaoniang covered her mouth and made a "hush" sound. Then she heard a voice from a distance: "If you want to pass this way, leave some money for passage."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked outside and was surprised to see that this was Wang Qiuju's voice.

Wang Qiuju was standing at the intersection with more than 40 men and women. They stopped a group of about ten people pushing a flatbed cart.

The man said, "Who are you? Get out of the way now, or I'll sue you at the government office."

Wang Qiuju sneered and said, "The government doesn't have time to deal with these things. Hand over your things immediately."

Wang Qiuju's cousin raised his bow and arrow, and the leader knelt down and said, "Please, leave some food for us! Otherwise, in this icy and snowy weather, we have a little kid at home who will freeze to death!"

Wang Qiuju looked at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you."

The leader looked at them pleadingly and said, "My wife is sick. We have three bags of food. Please just leave one for us. I beg you."

Wang Qiuju's eldest cousin kicked him in the chest and said, "It seems you don't understand what I'm saying. I heard that children's meat is very tender. Let's try it today."

He looked at the child on the flatbed cart and swallowed. He hadn't eaten meat for several months and had forgotten what meat tasted like.

The leader looked at them, his face pale with anger, and said helplessly:

“Okay, we’ll leave the flatbed with you, but you have to let us go.

Otherwise, I will not let you off easily even if I risk my life."

Wang Qiuju shouted loudly: "Then hurry up and get out of here..."

The leader was also an old man with a distressed look on his face. He looked at the flatbed truck, sighed deeply and said, "Shall we go?"

"Dad, if we leave, we won't be able to survive!" His son burst into tears.

"Wow, wow, wow... Dad, our little baby has just been born. How will he survive without food?" The daughter-in-law's eyes were filled with tears.

"Didn't you hear what they said? Okay, listen to me, let's go first. Only by surviving can we have hope." He looked coldly at the bows and arrows in Wang Qiuju's hands and said, "I hope you will do what you said, otherwise I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Wang Qiuju looked at them coldly and said, "If we really want to kill you, we can do it now. We only want money, not lives."
