Now that you know how to cry in front of everyone?

If she had helped everyone before, now everyone was helping her in turn.

But before, I watched this family and that family, fearing that other people's good things would not fall into my pocket. Now it is a time of life and death, and no one stands up to speak.

"Village Chief...Village Chief, please help me, Village Chief!" Wu Xiuhong looked around and saw that everyone was avoiding her gaze, feeling secretly resentful.

He had no choice but to turn to the village chief for help.

The village chief’s wife never liked Wu Xiuhong’s family, so she immediately said rudely:

"We made it very clear before that we should prepare our own things and leave on time. Your family has no food, and other people's food does not come from strong winds."

"Either we go together, or if you want to wait, you stay in the village."

Naturally, the village chief's wife couldn't be too harsh with her words. According to her inner thoughts, it would be best for the Ma family not to go along with them.

When Wu Xiuhong heard this, she burst into tears and cursed:

"Village chief's wife, how can you be so cruel and refuse to save me? Are you just going to watch our family starve to death? It doesn't matter if I, an old woman, starve to death! But the younger members of my family can't starve -"

She wiped her tears as she spoke, as if she was really sad.

The ladies who knew her curled their lips and turned away, for fear of being stared at by her.

Wu Xiuhong was not afraid of being struck by lightning when she said this. Normally, she would hit or scold the juniors in her family, but she was afraid that her things would be remembered by these juniors. Now she had the nerve to pretend to be kind.

She is not ashamed, these people are ashamed of her!

Hearing this, the village chief's wife was so angry that she fell to her knees and said, "I'm going to die without saving you? The food and money are all in your own hands. Why do you blame me for raising such a promising son?"

"I see it's getting late, let's all go!"

Mrs. Ji frowned and felt bored when she saw Wu Xiuhong crying here.

Seeing that it was going to be dawn soon, they agreed to hurry up and get on their way.

There is no need to waste time here for the Ma family.

Her original intention was to remind the village chief's wife, but the sound caused a stir. Wu Xiuhong immediately exploded:

"Mrs. Ji, what do you mean by saying this now? What? Seeing that our family has no food and can't leave, you just encourage everyone to leave, right? I know you are eager to see our family's jokes!

You have so much food in your house, but you don’t know where the bullock cart came from! There may be a lot of good stuff in it. If you can help our family, why do we want to waste everyone’s time?”

This tone, this attitude.

It seems that their family is the master and the rest of the people are slaves. If you don't help them, you are just laughing at them. You must help them.

Ji Miaomiao even rolled her eyes.

She doesn't see many people like this in modern times. Why should you be put first in everything if they are not your parents?

Besides, you’re such an adult, didn’t you see that the people around you were dumbfounded when you said this?

The village chief's wife was left speechless. Su Xiu'er didn't tolerate her, so she directly retorted:

"Auntie, how old are you? Are you happy with others snatching your food? Why is your family so shameless? Is it true that the food is blown by the wind? I don't think so in my dreams!"

Everyone else also saw the Ma family's joke.

Wu Xiuhong was sighing and crying there. The village chief frowned and was about to say a few words when he saw a spark of light appearing from the county seat in the distance.

From a distance, it looked like a house was on fire.

Even if an ordinary person's house is on fire, it is impossible to see it from such a distance, which is enough to prove that it is localized.

Thinking of this, he frowned and said to everyone:

"Go quickly! The city is on fire so early, I'm afraid something has happened!"

In the face of life and death, no one wasted time to read gossip. Everyone kept up and moved forward.

The bullock cart that Ji Miaomiao was in started moving almost instantly. Their family had experience in escaping from famine, and because they had an bullock cart, they were surrounded by everyone.

When Wu Xiuhong saw everyone walking forward in a swarm, she howled and saw that everyone ignored her. She had no choice but to wipe her tears and get up, quicken her pace and follow the large army.

I was planning to ignore her now, and when everyone stops to rest, if she makes trouble again, she won't starve to death, right?

Mrs. Ji was old, so her sons respected her and let her sit in front of the carriage. The sons walked in front with some and walked beside them with some to push the cart.

There is a place left in front of the car. If any of the three sisters-in-law are tired, they can come up and have a rest.

Therefore, everyone still feels that it is acceptable and it is much easier than the previous time.

Others are not so relaxed.

They are native Niutou villagers. They have lived in Niutou Village for generations. They have never experienced an escape at all, and they are not fully prepared. Not to mention how hard it is for the family.

The group of people walked out of breath until noon, and took a break next to a remote pipeline.

Ji's family also needs to take a break and eat something to replenish their strength.

The group of people put their carts next to the bullock cart and all got on to eat.

They still have to avoid everyone when it comes to eating. This is a lesson they learned through blood and tears during their last escape.

The five boys had woken up a long time ago, but they were not as active as before at home. They knew exactly what kind of journey they were embarking on.

Mrs. Ji looked at the children and warned everyone:

"Everyone should keep a supply of steamed buns in his clothes at all times, so that if he gets lost temporarily, he won't starve to death. You adults must keep a close eye on your children. Although our family now has a bullock cart, there is no guarantee of this.

"

"As long as you go to the ground, please hold your hands tightly! Don't think that it will be fine if you see him. This person will disappear in the blink of an eye."

This is Mrs. Ji’s rich experience.

It's okay at the beginning, but if there is not enough food in the future, people's hearts will become unstable, and people's malice cannot be guessed.

And the ones who are least able to protect themselves are undoubtedly the children.

Su Xiu'er and the other three sisters-in-law nodded firmly.

Children are the hope of the family, and they cannot let their babies fall into the hands of others.

I heard that when there is a real shortage of food, there are cases where people exchange their children for food!

Mrs. Ji nodded and stopped talking.

The family took the time to devour the steamed buns.

Because there is enough stock at home, each child can eat two buns while each child has one bun.

After walking all morning, everyone was hungry and swallowed everything in a few mouthfuls.

Then the three brothers got out of the car and stared.

Don't take things lightly at times like this. You can't trust anyone else except your own family.

After the three brothers went down, they found that everyone was eating and chatting. Apparently they didn't have the consciousness to hide yet, and every household was not short of food for the time being.

Of course, this does not include Wu Xiuhong.
