Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

The distance of two hundred miles was not close, nor far. The Li family followed the escort team for six or seven days, and finally arrived in Junyang County in one afternoon.

When they parted, Liu Biaotou insisted on not wanting the ten taels of silver, and kept saying that he wanted to form a good relationship with the Li family, and he would move around frequently in the future.He even hoped that Li Laosi would join the Escort in the future and run business together.

The Li family had no choice but to accept the money, thinking that they would have the opportunity to return the favor in the future.

Hiring two carriages, the family arrived at the small mountain village where uncle Liu Gen'er lived before sunset.

The small village is very quiet, no one's chimney is smoking now, and the lights are even less pitiful.

Mrs. Li thought about what her younger brother said when she wrote a letter before, and found the second house at the entrance of the village.

This family is surrounded by adobe walls and houses, the roof is covered with a layer of thatch, the courtyard gate is only made of branches, and the house has only two or three rooms. It looks very poor and dilapidated.

Mrs. Li was faintly worried when she saw her, she patted the courtyard door and shouted, "Liu Gen'er, come and open the door, I'm your sister."

But there was no answer for a while, and Tao Hongying and the others looked at each other with a bit of worry in their expressions.

"Here we come! Who is it? No one is allowed to sleep at night!"

Finally, the door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and a thin woman with hair casually pulled back came out.

Seeing so many people standing at the door, the woman's expression of dissatisfaction immediately froze. She took a few steps back, with a vigilant expression on her face, "Who are you looking for?"

"I am Liu Gen'er's older sister. I married outside the Great Wall in the early years. Some time ago, there was a war in our family, so I brought my family to join us..."

Mrs. Li responded and spoke carefully.

When the woman heard the words, she pondered for a while before she understood, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." After she finished speaking, she turned around and entered the room, and quickly came out with the help of an old lady.

Mrs. Li recognized this as Liu Gener's daughter-in-law, her sister-in-law Guo Shi.

Mrs. Guo is a few years younger than Mrs. Li, but now she looks very old, her face is wrinkled like dried orange peel, and her body doesn't look too strong.

When Mrs. Guo walked to the gate of the courtyard, she raised her triangular eyes and looked at Mrs. Li standing in front of her.

"It's the old lady, why did you come to my house from such a long distance, come in and talk." Dow recognized Mrs. Li, but her tone was quite cold, without the slightest eagerness to see a long-lost relative.

Mrs. Li was full of enthusiasm, and suddenly felt a little cold.After thinking about it, she led her children and grandchildren into the yard.

At this moment, two men and a fat woman came out of the room.

They seemed to have just gotten up from the bed, rubbing their eyes and yawning, looking at the Li family with curiosity and boredom.

"Siblings, why don't you see Liu Gen'er?"

When Mrs. Guo heard Mrs. Li mentioning her husband, her face became a bit complicated, "Liu Gen'er died last year."

"What? How did you die?" Mrs. Li swayed and almost fell down. Fortunately, Mrs. Li stepped forward to help her.

"Didn't you send a letter saying you were in good health the year before last? Why..." When she was caught off guard by hearing that her younger brother had passed away, Mrs. Li was stunned, holding back tears, and wanted to ask clearly.

Mrs. Guo snorted coldly, not in the slightest of grief, but seemed extremely resentful, "It rained heavily last summer, and the embankment flooded, and it couldn't have rushed to our side. A child who passed away ended up trapping himself, leaving us orphans and widows to suffer in the world."

As she said that, she looked at Mrs. Li again, and her mean eyes scraped Mrs. Li and other Li family members up and down like a scraper.

Mrs. Li acted cautiously. Before disembarking, she asked her family to change all the clothes Mrs. Sun had given her and put on the patched ones.

Coupled with the fact that the road was full of dust and dust, their clothes were dirty, and they looked very embarrassed at the moment.

So, Dow's eyes were full of disgust and disappointment.

"My father is dead, why do you come here to seek refuge? With our family like this, how can we take you in? We can't live on our own!"

Liu Tiezhu, Liu Gen'er's eldest son, was so sleepy that he saw that the Li family didn't look like a rich man, so he kicked him out.

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Guo didn't say a word, obviously agreeing.

"We just want to have a temporary place to stay, and we don't need you for food and clothing..." Li Er Er was dissatisfied with their attitude and stood up to explain, but he was interrupted by another man before he finished speaking.

"Who are you lying to? You poor people really live in my house, what should you do if you don't leave?" Liu Laifu, the second son of the Liu family, was also dissatisfied, pouted and stared.

But Guo Shi finally saw the face of the dead Liu Gen'er, waved his hand to stop his son, and said.

"Okay, okay, if you have no place to live, you can live in our yard first, but don't even think about entering the house, and leave as soon as dawn tomorrow, our family can't help you!"

Mrs. Li was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and Jiayin was distressed, so she tried her best not to move the stone out of the space and throw it on Liu's house!

Selfish, ungrateful, such a family, she would rather let the Li family sleep on the street than have anything to do with them.

She stretched out her small hand and tugged at grandma, babbling twice.

Liu Laifu stood close, and when he heard the movement, he stretched his head and took a look, so he was even more disgusted, "The poor are all fleeing, and they have so many babies!"

Li Laosi was furious when he heard this, and wanted to arrest Liu Laifu.

Liu Laifu was also slippery, and was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Guo, "What's the matter? If you are not taken in, you are going to beat people? Come on, you beat people! If you are capable, beat our family to death and occupy our house!"

Mrs. Li, who had been silent all this time, raised her hand to hold her son, "Fourth brother, don't make trouble."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Mrs. Guo, "Sister and sister, I didn't think carefully, don't worry, now, Liu Gen'er is gone, and our two families will break up.

Even if we starve to death, we won't bother you. "

Guo snorted coldly, "That's fine, you can't go back on what you said."

After speaking, she took her son and daughter-in-law back to the house.

There was silence in the courtyard.

"Mother, how could they do this? A few years ago, my uncle sent a message saying that my son would marry a wife, but the family couldn't afford the dowry, and you even sold your dowry jewelry.

Our family has been hungry for more than half a year, so we collected money to bring them here! "Li Er Er was panting heavily with anger, "But now, because of their uncle's death, they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone!" "

Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru and others were also full of disappointment and indignation, but Wu Ergou stood behind the crowd, watching the excitement nonchalantly.

Mrs. Li sighed for a long time, hugged her granddaughter upright in her arms, and pressed against her soft and warm little face, the chill in her heart dissipated.

"Fu Niuer, grandma will take you to sleep outside, don't stay here, okay?" Mrs. Li asked Jiayin softly.

Jiayin grinned and rubbed Mrs. Li's face with a smile.

"Fu Niuer is so good!" Mrs. Li finally showed a faint smile, turned her head and led her family out of the yard.

At the entrance of the village was a hundred-year-old tree that couldn't be hugged by a few people, with lush branches and leaves. The Li family lit a fire there and temporarily stopped.Fortunately, it was late summer and the nights were not too cold.

But everyone couldn't help but feel perturbed and confused, they rushed all the way here, who knew what the result would be.
