Time flies to July. Luming Mansion is the southernmost part of Fenglin Country. Every summer, strong winds and showers come one after another. But until now, the sun is high and the heat is so hot that the crops are dried out and die of drought.

At first, people thought it was due to the rising temperatures in summer and they should water the wells, but gradually they discovered that the wells had been watered until there was no water, and they became dry wells.

Crops have no water source and are surrounded by hot temperatures, causing crops to die.

As a result, food prices have risen rapidly, and some people have felt an inexplicable crisis and have purchased food to prepare for emergencies.

Lu Dapeng is an ordinary farmer in Lujia Village. He is the third eldest child in his family and the youngest daughter.

He is illiterate and only knows how to farm.

The family has planted dozens of acres of land, but unfortunately, due to the arrival of drought, there has been no harvest.

Just when Lu Dapeng didn't know what to do, he came to Qiuchi County to inquire about the news. After learning that food prices were rising and that some people were buying land at high prices, Lu Dapeng made a bold idea.

She decided to sell the land to buy grain.

Lu Dapeng's family only survives on the harvest from the fields all year round. If they lose their land, how will they survive? But if they lose their lives, it is useless to ask for land.

Although she had not read any books, she knew about drought. After all, it was a nightmare for farmers.

In the troubled times where drought exists, land is the least valuable thing.

Thinking of this, Lu Dapeng became more determined in his thoughts.

After returning home, Lu Dapeng proposed this suggestion to his family, but was blocked by the whole family.

Sister Lu said angrily: "Dapeng, have you ever thought about what if it's not a drought? The weather is just a little hotter than in previous years, so we won't sell our land.

We are farmers. If we lose our land, how will we survive?" Lu Dapeng retorted angrily: "Sister, we can't even afford food and can't even save our lives, so how can we talk about land?"

Sister Lu, like Sister Lu, did not believe what Lu Dapeng said, thinking that the drought would not happen. After all, the chance of such a disaster was very slim, and they did not believe that it would happen to them.

Even if they are caught, the court will still make the decision. At that time, wouldn't it be better to use free disaster relief food? After the drought, they can still cultivate the land.

But what if we sell the land now and wait until the drought is over?

what to do?

Due to the stalemate between the two parties, Lu's mother thought for a long time, and finally slammed the table and said in a serious tone: "Let's separate the families!

Mother Lu's words shocked everyone present.

The Lu family wanted to separate the family for a long time, but Lu Dapeng was not married yet and could not separate.

Nowadays, there is nothing better than dividing the family.

Sister Lu has three sons and one daughter, and her husband has a total of six people.

In the second sister Lu's home, she and her newly married husband were the only two people.

Lu's father and Lu's mother planned to follow Lu Dapeng.

Since Lu Dapeng had not gotten married, a part of his father's money was specially used as money for Lu Dapeng to get married.

Lu's mother and Lu's father lived together with Lu Dapeng. Therefore, after the family was divided, Lu Dapeng had the most crops.

The Lu family has a total of eight acres of land. Each of the three sisters of the Lu family is allocated two acres of land. Father Lu and mother Lu keep two acres of land for their retirement.

After this calculation, Lu Dapeng has three acres of land in his hands.

After dividing their families, the three sisters signed a letter of severance of relations.

It was Sister Lu who proposed the letter of severance of relations at the beginning. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Dapeng agreed with the other party's approach.

Sister Lu’s purpose is to make Lu Dapeng regret it later, so don’t come looking for her.

Lu Dapeng’s ideas are similar to those of Sister Lu.

Lu Dapeng also didn’t want to have his relatives crying and begging for food to save his life when the drought came. At that time, would he give it to him or not?

After the family separation, Lu Dapeng sold all three acres of land to a wealthy businessman and received a total of one hundred taels of silver. This one hundred taels of silver was something she could never earn in a lifetime of work.

It can only be said that Lu Dapeng encountered a good opportunity. In the past, one acre of land cost only about twenty taels of silver.

Lu Dapeng spent fifty taels of silver to buy grain and saved the other fifty taels.

Before long, no matter how high the price of food was, there was still an endless stream of people buying it.

Until there is no more food to sell.

Only then did people realize that the early disaster was really coming.

Some rich people had already hoarded a large amount of food. Those without money had no choice but to wait and worry, and even gradually began to eat wild vegetables.

The drought did not affect Hua Qingwan at all.

Hua Qingwan had already made preparations in advance.

Hua Qingwan caused Qiyun Academy to suspend classes due to drought.

Qiyu Academy is known as the largest academy in Luming Prefecture and has always been known for its benevolence. Some poor families sat at the entrance of the academy, praying that the dean would take pity on them and distribute some food.

How could Qiyun Academy be willing to take action at this time? Not to mention that the academy didn't have it, even if it did, the dean wouldn't give it out.

The dean thought of the drought and thought that this year's provincial examination would be delayed, so he waved his hand and announced that Qiyun Academy would be temporarily repaired and all students would go home to review their homework.

Chiyang also went to the market once, accompanied by Hua Qingwan. It was extremely depressed and completely different from before.

Since then, Chiyang has never stepped out of the house, and Hua Qingwan seems to know what Chiyang is thinking. She eats and drinks with Chiyang every day, reads story books, chats, does exercises, and occasionally reviews.

The life was very lively.

But Liu Yi on the other side had a sad face.

Ever since Qin Yu and Bai Hanfeng got married, Liu Yi's love for Qin Yu seemed to have disappeared.

Watching Qin Yu and Bai Hanfeng kissing each other every day, Liu Yi's heart felt like it had been cut by swords, and it was bloody and painful.

What makes Liu Yi most sad is that Qin Yu treats Bai Hanfeng well on the surface, but secretly he treats Bai Hanfeng as a gentleman with utmost respect.

However, Bai Hanfeng's position as king was originally snatched from him, so why should he be allowed to retreat step by step?

So, when Liu Yi paid his respects to Bai Hanfeng, he told Bai Hanfeng all about Qin Yu and his plans.

Liu Yi's beautiful face turned ugly due to jealousy. He shot his cold eyes at Bai Hanfeng and said in a bad tone: "Zhengjun, I have something I need you to know."

"Say." Bai Hanfeng said with confusion in his eyes.

Liu Yi glanced at the servants around Bai Hanfeng, his eyes hinting at Bai Hanfeng.

Bai Hanfeng thought that the other party really wanted to tell him something, so he asked his servants to go out.

After the others left, only Bai Hanfeng and Liu Yi were left.

Liu Yicai slowly approached Bai Hanfeng and said, "Bai Hanfeng, my wife doesn't like you at all. She doesn't love you at all. She loves me, Liu Yi.

You are just a tool she uses to fight for her future, and she will throw it away after use."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Hanfeng slapped Liu Yi and said with fear in his eyes: "Liu Yi, don't even think about driving a wedge between our husband and wife. Don't forget, you are just a servant."

besides"

Bai Hanfeng said with a joking look in his eyes: "Liu Yi, do you want to know what my wife said about you in front of me?

She said that Liu Yi admired her very much, but she already had a crush on her and only liked me.

It's a pity that Liu Yi's innocence was stolen from somewhere, and she wanted to show mercy to the man, so she married you back into the family.
