Ye Chuqiu noticed the little actions of the two sisters-in-law, but didn't take it seriously.
The fact that she doesn't accept money doesn't mean she doesn't love money. On the contrary, she likes money and she knows the importance of money.
However, in this era, some things are more important than money, and that is identity, status, and power.
Now, she is just a refugee with nothing, no social status, no road guide, and invalid household registration. Even if she dies on the road, no one will take a second look.
In fact, if some officials could not find any bandits, they might even capture them as cash.
Ye Chuqiu doesn't mind speculating on this society with the greatest malice.
Besides, she is not short of money now. She still has more than a hundred taels of silver in her hand, and she can sell the things signed in the system for money at any time.
But so what? She used money to buy grain, but these profiteers limited the grain and would not sell more to her.
Of course she could buy from them privately, but cheating happens everywhere. If she reveals her wealth, not to mention the people from the grain store, even those who buy grain may steal it secretly if they see it.
She sap.
So you have to have money, but once it is revealed that you have a lot of money but do not have the corresponding ability to protect it, it will be like a child holding gold to get through the busy market, which is too dangerous.
Moreover, once she accepts their money, her nature changes completely. Once she accepts their money, she must do her best to take care of them. Once she fails to take care of them, people will not say they are grateful, but will resent her.
It's just right now. She doesn't owe them anything. She only gives them a certain amount of care at critical moments, which is enough for them to remember.
Of course, if they live a better life in the future and are willing to repay her, she will be happy; if they do not repay her, she will not be disappointed because of it.
After resting enough, we continued on the road, and the Fu family siblings quickly followed. They had a carriage, so it was no problem to keep up.
With Li Youmei's help, they successfully made a pot of wild vegetable soup at noon, but none of them could drink it.
In the end, Li Youmei took the pot of wild vegetable soup home and drank it herself.
This also led to a problem, that is, they were thirsty and hungry now. Li Youmei gave them some water, which was taken from a small ditch. It was a bit muddy and dirty, although Li Youmei filtered it according to the method Ye Chuqiu taught them.
, it was also specially boiled, but Fu Yu, Fu Tong and sister Fu Yu still felt it was dirty and did not drink it.
So much so that at night, Fu Yu felt a little hopeless.
This life is really too hard for her. She has never suffered so much grievance and suffered so much.
But she didn't know that she was still happier than Li Youmei and the others. At least they rode in a carriage, while Li Youmei and the others walked.
Ye Chuqiu would also come down for a walk. When he was tired, he would go to the carriage.
Along the way, she had been making medicine for herself to recuperate her body, and her body was actually much better than before.
"Mom, I think the Fu family siblings haven't eaten anything all day, should we go help them?"
After night fell, everyone set up camp, Zhao Hehua asked quietly beside Ye Chuqiu.
"No, your second and third aunts will help." Ye Chuqiu said.
Since someone is eager to help, of course she will not interfere, and showing kindness requires a method.
Sometimes, half a piece of steamed bun is enough to make a person remember him for half his life; and sometimes, no matter how much you help him, he will not be grateful and will only resent you for not giving enough.
Therefore, Ye Chuqiu doesn't want to get close to each other. Once she gets close and develops feelings for each other, she should do whatever she wants. Between friends, shouldn't they help each other?
Therefore, she would rather be a stranger who has nothing to do with herself. Only the help of strangers is precious.
"Sanhu, aren't you great at catching voles? For dinner tonight, I'm going to catch two voles to give us all a snack."
Lin Sanhu, who was standing next to Ye Chuqiu, said that this kid used to be quite lively, but he didn't talk much during the escape.
"Mom, don't you eat field mice?" Lin Sanhu said.
"I won't eat it, but you brothers will eat it." Ye Chuqiu said naturally: "Now that we are fleeing, food is not easy to come by, so of course we have to find ways to increase it."
"Okay, then I will take my fourth brother to catch voles." Lin Sanhu said, and he really ran away with Lin Sihu.
Zhao Hehua started cooking. Ye Chuqiu wanted to eat dry rice. After Ye Chuqiu's rice was cooked, she added water and cooked it into porridge.
This is the privilege Ye Chuqiu now has at home as her mother-in-law.
Now Ye Chuqiu is no longer practicing fairness. In this troubled world, it is impossible for everyone to be fair, because everyone does different things, and her fairness is the greatest injustice.
Like herself, she got all the food, so what if she eats better? It is not difficult to admit that she is not a saint, but just a selfish villain. After she lowers her moral standards,
Her life was much more comfortable.
Look at how unfair she is now. Instead, the children at home are obedient to her. Even Li Youmei doesn't dare to say mean words in front of her and will only come to please her.
Occasionally, when she gave her some food, she became very happy. But before, when she ate the same food as them, she felt dissatisfied.
The rice was cooked, and Ye Chuqiu added another dish for herself, which made everyone curious. How many treasures were there in the jars she was putting on the bullock cart? How could she take them out at any time?
What about all kinds of food?
However, they didn't have the chance to see it. First of all, Ye Chuqiu guarded her jar very closely and did not allow them to get close.
Secondly, every time Ye Chuqiu took something, she would sprinkle a layer of quicklime on it. If anyone touched her jar and kept it, she would know if his hands were stained with lime.
Therefore, even if they were very curious, they did not dare to ask. They could only watch her eat, or come over to please her at this time, give her a pat on the back or something like that.
They never thought that the food Ye Chuqiu bought was not sour even after it had been so hot for several days.
It is impossible for food to go rancid. Ye Chuqiu put everything in the space. What was in the jar was just some quicklime and black beans. If they really dared to open her jar and look at it, they would be disappointed.
Food is such a precious thing, so of course it has to be carried with you.
After eating, she drank the medicinal soup that she had been simmering for body conditioning. The two brothers Lin Sanhu also came back. They didn't find any field mice, but today they found a lot of bugs. The two brothers used knives to peel them off.
I skewered the insects with a small stick and planned to roast them later.
