Village Chief Li waved his hand, "Stop talking about this. I am the village chief. I can't just watch you mother and daughter go to a dead end. Go back, let's discuss everything together. If you don't have food, you can eat wild vegetables diligently and you won't starve to death."

."

Li Fang and Li Li supported their mother, "Thank you, village chief, grandpa, village chief, and grandma. Mom, please stop crying. Anyway, we were all abandoned by our father, and we don't miss him, so we'll just treat him as if he is no longer there."

Mrs. Liu felt sad, but she cheered up. After all, she still had two daughters. If she collapsed and died, the fate of her two daughters would be even more tragic.

Following Village Chief Li and his wife, they came to the place where the villagers gathered. Everyone knew what Old Man Li and Mrs. Li Li Yuangong had done, and they despised them.

After being comforted by everyone, Ms. Liu no longer panicked.

Liu Pan'er sneered, with contempt on her face, "Little treasure A Rong, remember, people who can abandon their family are worse than beasts. Liu is Li Yuangong's wife, Ali and A Fang are Li Yuangong's daughters, they were abandoned by him like this

If you abandon it, it will not end well in the future.

As for Old Man Li and Mrs. Li, they are even more miserable. They even gave up their own granddaughters, let alone those of you who adopted them. You will hide as far away from them as you can when you see them in the future."

Li Dabao was stunned for a moment, with a serious face, "I know you have three taels of silver with you. In fact, you can leave alone, why don't you leave?"

Liu Pan'er was stunned and touched her purse, "How do you know I have money on me? If you want to cross the river, I can give you a tael of silver."

"I don't want to cross the river. I only have three taels of silver. The five of us are not enough." Li Dabao looked bitter, but his eyes were firm. "We made an agreement before that we should live together and die together."

Liu Pan'er smiled brightly, "Yes, I think so too. Besides, even if we go there, we have to be separated from the villagers. It's even more dangerous for us as adults and four children. After thinking about it, I think we should still go with

Together we are safer.”

Li Rong was slightly relieved when she heard Liu Pan'er's words, "As long as the family is together, no matter how hard it is, I am willing to do it."

Seeing that Li Li and Li Fang were abandoned by their biological father, Li Rong immediately felt that her stepmother was quite good. In such a difficult situation, she had no choice but to run away, and she also snatched back her younger siblings, killed the bad guys, and never left them.

.

In fact, the stepmother has already done everything a mother can do. She cannot treat the stepmother as she did before and should change her attitude towards the stepmother.

But now Li Rong is embarrassed to change her tune and needs an opportunity.

The place where people from Lijiacun settled was relatively far from the ferry, but it was safe and had clean water.

If bandits and robbers come over, they can run directly into the dense forest, which is safer than on the road.

Mrs. Liu was always a capable person. After being sad, she wanted to live a good life for her daughter, so she said to her two daughters: "You stay here while I dig wild vegetables. We have nothing but hard work."

Li Fang nodded, "Mom, yes, we can eat wild vegetables and not starve to death. If they don't take us away, they will no longer be our relatives, and we will never pay attention to them again."

The mother and daughter borrowed baskets from others and went to dig wild vegetables.

On both sides of the Dadu River, there is sufficient water and there is no longer drought, so there are relatively more wild vegetables. However, there are many people fleeing the famine, and a lot of them have been dug up.

Even so, the mother and daughter dug a lot of wild vegetables.

Seeing Liu Pan'er digging wild vegetables from a distance, Afang whispered: "Mom, the third aunt is here too. They still have food. Why don't we borrow some from them?"

Li Li also looked forward to it with eager eyes.

Even whole grains are more delicious than wild vegetables.

Mrs. Liu's eyes were complicated, she thought for a moment, and finally shook her head, "Your third aunt's family doesn't have much food, and there are two three-year-old children. They can't eat wild vegetables. Besides, we haven't helped before."

It's not appropriate for your third aunt and her family to borrow food just by asking. If you do that, what's the difference between you and your unreasonable little aunt Li Yingniang?"

When their mother mentioned Li Yingniang, the two sisters felt like they had stepped on stinky dog ​​feces, "My little aunt is the worst, we can't be like her."

Mrs. Liu was very pleased when she saw this, "However, your third aunt often comes out to look for food. Let's find some more wild vegetables and send them to them. Pick some tender ones and give them to the children. It's more or less what we want. Others

If something happens, we will help and be more diligent. Not only will we not starve to death, but we will also be safe."

Mrs. Liu teaches her daughters not to want them to grow crooked.

Most of the people in the village are simple and honest, and there are not many bad people like my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Now when they are desperate, the village chief takes them in.

In Lijia Village, in addition to Old Man Li and Old Mrs. Li's family who crossed the river, there were also two families with ox carts who reluctantly spent money to cross the river by boat. However, these two families did not leave anyone behind. They did better than Old Man Li and Mrs. Li Li Yuangong.

Better.

Everyone has their own ambitions. If someone has money and leaves, Village Chief Li cannot stop them.

Village Chief Li had a sad face and called several young men in the village, as well as Liu Pan'er, to discuss matters in the village.

Liu Pan'er sat next to Mrs. Li and thought carefully.

"Members of the Yuan Qing family, do you think we can join the village together?" Mrs. Li asked, her dim eyes full of perseverance, as if she could never be defeated.

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "If we merge together, I'm not afraid that the people from Zhaojiacun and Liujiacun will gang up on us. I'm worried that there are more people, but the wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains are limited, so everyone will be hungry."

Mrs. Li nodded, "I'm worried about this too. When the time comes, there will be a lot of commotion and chaos due to the fight for a mountain top. But life is difficult in the mountains, there are fewer people, and it is also very dangerous to encounter.

I'm also worried that if we can't go back to our hometown, we will have to settle down here. Even if we only have the surname Li, we will not be able to do it. When the children grow up and get married, they will all be close relatives, and we will not intermarry if we have the same surname."

Hearing this, Liu Pan'er was stunned and patted his head, "Grandma, you are right, I never thought about the child's marriage leave. We don't have local household registration and are hiding in the mountains. When the child grows up,

We have to get married. In this case, let’s call a few more villages. Even if we can’t be in the same place, we can spread out and build different villages.”

Village Chief Li was a little hesitant at first. After hearing his mother's suggestion that his children get married, he couldn't let the children in the village not get a wife or get married in the future.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Village Chief Zhao and Village Chief Liu now." Village Chief Li agreed, "I think more and more people are gathering at Dadukou, and there may be trouble. If the government colludes with the bandits,

Maybe the bandits will take advantage of the night to kidnap people."

This is also what Liu Paner is worried about.

While Liu Pan'er was talking here, Li Fang grabbed a handful of wild cabbage hearts and brought them over, "Ah Rong, Ah Nan and Xiaobao are too young, don't give them wild vegetables that are too old. This is what I and I
