Seeing that Uncle Yun was silent, Mrs. He pulled Mrs. Li's sleeve and begged: "Sister-in-law, please advise uncle, we will never let you go hungry even if we don't think about you.

Think about Xuan'er and Yueniang, you can't let your children starve with you?"

After hearing this, Ms. Li shed even more tears, but she also knew what her husband was thinking. The third child's family really couldn't afford it. But when Ms. He talked about her children, how could she see them starving too? She could only say one sentence.

No more words to say.

Yun Laosan and He kept trying to persuade her, and Meiniang also followed suit, but the old man wouldn't say anything.

Finally, Mei Niang glanced at Uncle Jiang who was frowning at the side and said, "Uncle Jiang, please say something and help us persuade my uncle."

Uncle Jiang clicked his tongue, "Since Sanmao's family has asked for this, Brother Da Mao, don't worry. At most, from tomorrow onwards, let Xuan'er and Chu Ye go hunting together in the mountains, and Yueniang will follow Mei Niang to pick wild vegetables.

Can people still starve to death?”

Hearing what Uncle Jiang said, Yunxuan was most happy because he didn't have to starve here and could go hunting in the mountains with his idol. How great it was. The idol could teach him how to use his hands.

After hearing this, Uncle Yun stopped insisting and finally nodded in agreement.

Yun Laosan smiled innocently. For some reason, since Uncle Jiang came back with his son, he has become a lot more cheerful. Even Uncle Yun felt that his younger brother was getting older and he was finally enlightened.

So, after packing their things, the group prepared to return to Baohe Village.

There was nothing left in Uncle Jiang's house. Everything that could be exchanged for food was exchanged for food. There were only a few beddings and some pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches left, which were all placed on the carriage.

However, no matter how few things there were, the carriage was still full, so everyone had to walk all the way.

Except for Li and Yueniang, who never leave the house or step outside the door on weekdays, the rest of them are just doing their usual jobs.

Let Mrs. Li and Yueniang sit on the quilt, Uncle Jiang rode on horseback because he was not feeling well, and the rest of the people went on their way chatting and laughing.

There were also a lot of people, and Brother Bao and others had just been beheaded, so many people kept their thoughts to themselves, and no one was robbed along the way.

But everyone on the road was thirsty, so they happened to pass by a water source and wanted to get some water. Meiniang wanted to see how the water was sold, so she offered to buy it.

There would be no danger as the well was guarded by officers and soldiers, so everyone agreed, and Yueniang happily took her cousin's hand and followed her.

There was a long queue of people fetching water in front of the well. Fortunately, the fetching speed was very fast, and it wasn't long before it was Mei Niang's turn.

The bucket Mei Niang used to fill the water was the uncle's small bucket. She passed it forward and said, "Get me two bowls of water."

The soldier fetching water coldly held up the trumpet bowl and said, "Twenty cents."

"What? I am fetching two bowls of water, not ten bowls of water."

Mei Niang thought she had heard wrong. She had just heard Yun Xuan say that fetching water here cost two cents a bowl, so why did two bowls of water cost twenty cents?

The soldier looked disdainfully, "One bowl is ten cents, two bowls is not twenty cents? Ten bowls is one hundred cents."

Mei Niang frowned. Ten cents used to buy meat to feed her family for several days, but now she can only buy a bowl of water.

I didn’t expect that water is so expensive now, and it seems that it will become even more expensive. How will people survive in the future?
