Chapter 11 Why not escape from poor mountains and bad waters?
Liu Pan'er sneered, looking at Li Yingniang with eyes full of contempt, and her words became sharper, "A dog steals shit and knows how to wipe its mouth. There are pumpkin seeds on your teeth and you haven't wiped them clean. I want to talk to you.
If the third brother files a complaint, then we will wait for your third brother to come back.
Besides, I have to tell your third brother that you are indifferent to the life and death of the four treasures he brought back from the northwest. Dabao Arong is now sensible. They have eyes and are not blind.
They saw everything they did and remembered it.
Since everyone knows it well, why are you still pretending? Old lady, since you love your eldest son, second son and youngest daughter, just think that all of us are dead!"
Liu Pan'er waved her hands as if shooing away flies, not wanting to pay attention to these people.
At noon, she went for a run in the dense forest again, and was very tired. With the time to argue, she might as well find a shady place to sleep for a while, so that she could continue on her way in the afternoon.
Mrs. Li's old face couldn't hold back any longer. She took a few steps back, covered her face and choked, "I'm going, I'm going..."
"Mom, I want to drink porridge." Li Yingniang was anxious. She was almost out of food at home, especially rice. She liked to eat porridge and wanted to get some rice back from her third sister-in-law.
Liu Paner sneered, what a beautiful thought!
There was only one bag of rice at home, which was only more than 20 kilograms. She was reluctant to eat it and kept it for Li Nan and Li Xiaobao, who had weak stomachs.
"Hey, this little aunt wants to drink porridge, and she also wants to take food from the mouths of her three-year-old nephew and niece. She is really greedy." Liu Pan'er is annoyed by this kind of people the most. They are lazy about eating and take others for granted.
Li Yingniang was so angry that she stamped her feet, but when she saw that her old mother had left, she had no choice but to follow her and turned to look at Liu Pan'er and others with resentment and resentment.
People around her thought Liu Pan'er was overbearing at first, but after thinking about it carefully, the old lady really didn't bring anything to her grandchildren except a few old-fashioned wild vegetables.
Those who were still facing Mrs. Li were now embarrassed to say anything wrong about Liu Pan'er.
After Zhou Cuihua saw Mrs. Li and Li Yingniang leaving, she lowered her voice and said to Liu Pan'er: "From the Yuan Qing family, you are not a simple mother-in-law. You should be more careful in the future. By the way, your sister-in-law hates you. You
There is no need to be afraid, but your four children cannot be left alone."
Liu Pan'er accepted Zhou Cuihua's kindness and said, "Thank you, Auntie, I understand."
After returning to the shade of the tree, Anan gathered around and quickly poured water for Liu Pan'er, "Stepmother, drink water!"
"Ahem!" Li Rong coughed twice quickly, reminding her little sister not to shout randomly. Either don't shout or call her mother. It was disrespectful to call her stepmother directly in the past. In the countryside, even if she was beaten by stepmother, no one would do it.
Pull frame.
Li Nan quickly covered his mouth with a scared look on his face, his watery eyes were misty, "I, I..."
Li Xiaobao stood in front of his sister, looking nervous, "Don't hit my sister, if you want to hit me, hit me."
Li Dabao had a sullen face, as if he would fall out if his stepmother really wanted to beat his younger brothers and sisters.
Liu Pan'er smiled, drank the water, and put down the cup, "Actually, you can call me stepmother. After all, you are not my biological children, and I don't force you to call me mother. If you feel that calling me stepmother is inappropriate, it's inappropriate.
As a matter of etiquette, then you can call me Aunt Liu."
Li Dabao and Li Rong looked at each other, dubious, "Do you really think so?"
Liu Pan'er nodded without thinking, "That's what I think. People get along with each other by fate. If we have a relationship between mother and daughter in the future, it's not too late for you to change your mind. If there is no fate, we will treat it as if we are together.
Relatives, I think it’s pretty good too.”
The original husband, Li Yuanqing, is still fighting outside, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.
Liu Pan'er has no feelings for that person, so it is naturally impossible for her to be married to Li Yuanqing. When the time comes to divorce, she will live her own life, which will be relaxed and comfortable.
With a portable space warehouse and martial arts skills, Liu Pan'er has the confidence to live a good life here.
Li Rong shouted in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Aunt Liu, thank you for protecting us."
Li Nan is the best at coquettishness. She ran over and hugged Liu Pan'er's leg, "Aunt Liu, thank you."
Liu Pan'er didn't expect that with a change of title, the atmosphere between them would also change.
"It's too hot, hurry up and rest under the tree." Liu Pan'er urged, sitting on the mat under the tree with her four children, "In the future, those people from the old house will come over. You are still young, so don't think about fighting with them.
.While I’m away, you go find the village chief’s grandparents.”
Now Village Chief Li wants to curry favor with her, and Liu Pan'er will often secretly send some food to the village chief's wife Zhou Cuihua. When she is away, they will also take care of the four children.
Several children agreed one after another, and Liu Paner lay down on the mat, rested for a while, and then started on her way.
Fortunately, there was an oxcart. Liu Pan'er took the children to sit on the oxcart without having to walk, saving a lot of energy and suffering less.
The old scalper at home is very understanding of human nature and can follow the car in front without any effort. There is no need to worry about chasing the cattle cart.
Liu Pan'er told Li Dabao and Li Rong, then went to Village Chief Li and Zhou Cuihua, and asked in a low voice: "Aunt, Uncle Village Chief, how long will it take for us to get to Dadukou? Even if we cross the big river,
Have you arrived in the south?"
Village Chief Li nodded and replied: "Yes, when you get to Dadukou, you can take a boat to the other side, which is the south. If everything goes well, it will take ten days.
The south is humid and rainy, rich in products, and there are many rich people there, so the government will open warehouses to release grain. When the drought is over, the government will send reports and send money and grain, and we can return to our hometown."
Hearing that Village Chief Li was familiar with all this, and it was not like it was his first time escaping from famine, Liu Paner asked: "Uncle Village Chief, how do you know such details? Did you escape from famine more than once?"
When Village Chief Li heard this, he showed a proud expression, "Of course, more than once. I have been fleeing from famine with my parents since I was five or six years old. Our place is either hit by floods, droughts, or locust plagues, almost every few years.
Invite disaster.
The local government had finished allocating grain, and it was too remote. We could only save three kilograms of ten kilograms of grain delivered by the court, which cost too much. Later, the government acquiesced and even encouraged us to escape. We traveled together with each other along the way, and we also brought them with us.
Food, although hard work, is better than staying in my hometown and starving to death."
When Liu Pan'er heard what Village Chief Li said, she was dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Village Chief, our place is full of disasters and can be considered a poor place. Why do you only think about escaping from famine and not settling down in the south?"
ah?"
When Village Chief Li and his wife Zhou Cuihua heard this, they shook their heads and sighed, "People are humble when they leave their hometown. We are not locals. If we stay there, we won't be able to understand the people there, and we will be looked down upon by the locals. It's better to wait until the famine is over.
