Chapter 102

As the weather became colder and the food was cut off more and more thoroughly, the lives of the people became more and more difficult, but the court's disaster relief food was delayed.

Several counties next door have begun to starve to death, and violence and chaos have occurred.

The hungry people first snatched the gentry from the countryside. After snatching the gentry, they went to the town to grab the merchants. The town was turned over and went up to the county in a slap.

The governments in various places were in a panic for a moment, and all the yamen runners and officers and soldiers were dispatched to the city gate to guard the city, and at least the people and officials in the city were guarded.

Quanzhou County has always been famous for its good public security, but it gradually showed this sign.

At noon that day, the old Qin family secretly used a small stove to heat a tray of steamed buns.

The whole family sat together, gnawing at the nest while discussing the current situation.

Qin Daping said, "I heard that people starved to death in Dagang Village, Huer Village, and Luer Village. The villagers saw that they were dead and died of vertical death, and they were not afraid of any government officials. They all carried hammers, swords and axes.

When robbing the squire, some squires ran fast and fled to the county to escape disasters. Some ran slowly. It was just a matter of robbing the granary of money and granaries, and they were beaten to death.

Wang Fengying was so scared that her eyes burst out, "Is this still the common people? This is simply a bandit!"

Qin Peng got out of bed recently. Hearing this, he sighed, "Before the bandits did evil, they were ordinary people who were raised by their parents. Anyone who was forced to become bandits may become bandits."

Qin Hu has never been very fond of talking and it is rare to express his opinion. "Fortunately, Jin'er came up with the idea to hide the food and the puppies early, otherwise our family would have been robbed."

Everyone nodded, "This is true, thanks to Jin'er!"

Zhao Jin'er was distracted and didn't hear her family praising her.

Qin Muxiu quietly pinched her hand, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Jiner's face turned slightly pale and she said absent-mindedly, "It's not much, I'll finish it, I'll go back to the house to stew medicine for you first."

As soon as he entered the house, Qin Muxiu followed in.

Zhao Jiner smiled hard, "Why are you eating so fast?"

Qin Muxiu stared at her for a moment, "What are you worried about? Tell me."

Zhao Jin'er knew that she was a transparent person in front of Qin Muxiu, so she didn't hide her mood. "Just just now, my uncle said that someone in my uncle's village starved to death."

When she was at her parents' home, her uncle and aunt did not treat her well, but she was a close relative of flesh and blood, and the only relative she left in the world. When she heard that she was so miserable there, she was still worried:

The uncle is a cripple, and the aunt is lazy. There is also a nine-year-old cousin Zhuzi at home. Their life is probably unprecedentedly sad.

"Worried?" Qin Muxiu asked softly, "If you are worried, I will accompany you to see you. After getting married, I haven't been back to my parents' home. I just took this opportunity to pay my respects to my uncle and aunt."

Zhao Jiner quickly waved her hand, "My uncle is fine, he is just a little irritable because of his lameness, but my aunt is not able to get involved. She wanted to come and fight Qiufeng before. Now, if she goes back to see them, she will be afraid she will be able to get on.

You can't even shake it off. Besides, it's snowing again, and it's cold and you're a little better. You can't go out to get frozen anymore."

Seeing that his wife was determined, Qin Muxiu did not persist. After all, it was extremely difficult to protect his family in such a disaster year.

Zhao Jiner was just bored for a while, and then got his medicine back to the kitchen to wash the dishes and pots.

Nowadays, it would be great if I could live, so how could I be qualified to be sad about spring and autumn?

As soon as he packed the kitchen, Qin Zhenzhu ran in and shouted, "San Sister-in-law, you can make some hot tea quickly, and the guests are here!"

"Come?"

Who would visit relatives at this time? Wouldn’t it cause trouble for others?

But seeing Qin Zhenzhu's eyes are bright and happy, she should be a very close person.
