Everbright was doing shopping along the way, and it was getting dark before he knew it. Ye Chuqiu pushed a cart full of supplies out of the city.
When she arrived at the city gate, two guards stopped her and shouted at her fiercely, "Put the things down, we want to inspect them."
"Master, I just bought a few jars and went home to make pickles." Ye Chuqiu put down the cart and said.
"We didn't know until we checked."
The two guards said something, and took sticks and rummaged around on Ye Chuqiu's cart. Ye Chuqiu had already put the things away, and now the jars were full of worthless things. As for the two covered baskets,
Ye Chuqiu's clothes are all black beans. During this time, her big black cow has been working hard. She bought these black beans for the big black cow to eat. Of course, people are not picky about food in this era, and people can eat it too.
"Made!"
Seeing Ye Chuqiu's full cart, there was no valuables at all. The two guards were very unhappy. They were about to trouble Ye Chuqiu, but they saw Ye Chuqiu holding two bottles of wine in his hand, "Guan Ye
, these are two bottles of wine I gave my old man to drink, would you like to help me taste it?"
"That's pretty much it."
The two people took the wine and didn't plan to trouble Ye Chuqiu. Otherwise, according to their methods, if poor people like Ye Chuqiu didn't show their filial piety, it would be impossible for her to leave the city so easily. He
She had to overturn her cart.
The people do not fight against the officials. Ye Chuqiu does not want to have conflicts with others over these trivial matters. He can only waste money and eliminate disasters.
After covering all the baskets with cloth, Ye Chuqiu pushed the cart out of the city.
"No, I have to go find my mother."
"What's the point of going there at this time? Everyone has said that it costs twenty cents to enter the city, and refugees like us will have to pay twice as much."
Ye Chuqiu found them easily, but unexpectedly, they didn't recognize Ye Chuqiu at all and were still debating whether they should go to the city to find her.
"Second uncle, third uncle, you two must have some private money, right? Please lend me forty coins so I can go in and find my mother." Lin Dahu looked at the two uncles and begged.
"This big tiger, all our money was confiscated by the rebels before, and now we don't have a penny left," Lin Er said.
"I still have ten cents, but it's not enough." Lin San also said.
"Two aunties, do you still have money on you?" Lin Dahu looked at Li Youmei and Chai Chunfang again.
"How can we have money? I even lent a set of clothes to your mother before. I'm afraid it's all in vain now." Li Youmei said a little unhappy.
Ye Chuqiu spoke for her before, and she was so moved that she lent her daughter-in-law the most decent clothes to Ye Chuqiu. Now she felt regretful.
"That's right, my sister-in-law gave away so much money before, why didn't she leave some money for you?" Chai Chunfang on the side also said softly.
"Brother, I'm going to find my mother."
When the four tigers saw that their elders refused to lend money, they felt angry and ran to the city gate with a suppressed expression.
"You kid, the city gate is closed, why are you running there?" Lin Er grabbed him.
"Then you are unwilling to lend money to my elder brother. Now that the city gates are closed, my mother gave you so much food along the way, but all of it was given to the dogs. At this critical moment, none of you are willing to lend money!
Lin Sihu angrily cursed at them.
"Hey, you little brat, what are you talking about? It's not like we don't want to borrow money, we don't have any money."
Li Youmei said: "Didn't you all see that group of murderous rebels before? All our money was robbed by them."
"Second Aunt, you have money. I have seen it. When the rebels came, you secretly threw the money on the ground, buried it with your feet, and stepped on it. The rebels didn't notice." Wufeng, who rarely spoke, said
, suddenly spoke.
"You kid, what are you talking about?"
Li Youmei was looked at by her dark eyes, and was told by her sharp words. She couldn't bear it anymore, and raised her hand to give her a slap, but before she could do it, Lin Sihu slapped her five
Feng pulled her down, "Second Aunt, you just got so angry that you wanted to hit my sister, right?"
When he said this, Li Youmei didn't dare to take action. She only retracted her hand and said angrily: "Who said, why should I hit her? She must have seen it wrong, but now the city gate is closed, we are
Even if you look for your mother, you won't be able to get her back, right?"
"Don't worry, maybe your mother has already left the city gate and is just looking for us." Chai Chunfang also said softly.
"We made an appointment under this tree. If my mother had left the city, she would have come to see us long ago." Lin Dahu said.
"It's all because of your refusal to lend money to my eldest brother that we lost our mother." Lin Sihu said bitterly.
"Hey, Sihu, what you said is interesting. Isn't it a mistake to refuse to lend money now?"
Hearing Lin Sihu's words, Li Youmei became unhappy and just said: "If you want to borrow our money, you can borrow it. If you don't want to borrow it, don't borrow it. If I don't lend you money, I will become an enemy in your eyes."
"Okay, Li Youmei, I will remember your words."
At this moment, everyone heard a familiar voice and turned around, but saw no one. While everyone was wondering, Zhao Hehua pointed at Ye Chuqiu and said, "That seems to be mother?"
"Moo~"
The big buffalo raised its head and barked, took two steps towards Ye Chuqiu, and looked towards Ye Chuqiu.
It was getting dark. The country people had not eaten anything good and were malnourished. It was inevitable that they were a little blinded and could not see clearly. In addition, Ye Chuqiu had already dressed up, and they became even more unrecognizable.
If the big buffalo hadn't been howling at Ye Chuqiu, they wouldn't have been sure that the energetic person in front of them was actually Ye Chuqiu.
"Mom, is it really you?"
Lin Dahu and others walked up to Ye Chuqiu, and after seeing her face clearly, they were filled with excitement.
"Mom, we thought something happened to you, but we didn't expect you to come back without saying a word."
"Yes, mother, my eldest brother just wanted to go to the city to find you, but we don't have any money."
"Sister-in-law, we..."
Seeing Ye Chuqiu, Li Youmei and Chai Chunfang both felt guilty.
"I heard everything you just said."
Ye Chuqiu glanced at them and said calmly: "What you said makes sense. We have already separated. Whether we can borrow money or not depends entirely on you, Dahu and Sihu. You two must not be resentful because of this."
.”
"Mom, you don't know how extreme they are, and they won't lend it to us even if they have money." Sihu was still very angry and complained to Ye Chuqiu.
"Sihu, listen to me." It was Lin Dahu who pulled Lin Sihu and told him to stop talking.
"Humph." Sihu was still angry. Although he was the youngest, he was the most unique child, with strong emotions and clear grievances.
