"Ah?" Ah Jiu's mouth twitched a few times.

At present, my father and mother are very happy when the time comes, knowing that apart from money and food, this is Grandma's life.

Not to mention the other pots and pans in the pocket, they must have come from Grandma’s house.

Just look at these bowls, chopsticks and plates, maybe all the bowls and chopsticks are here.

"What are you afraid of? This bowl of chopsticks was originally brought from our house, or was delivered to me personally. This marinated meat is from the year before last, and it was delivered to me as a gift. How about I bring it back to eat it?"

Meng Shaode directly put his sweaty waistcoat on the clothesline and entered the kitchen shirtless. He did a few weightlifting movements while walking and touched his biceps pleasantly.

"Don't be so beautiful. I don't know if you looked at yourself like that when you were fetching water."

Cai Lihua curled her lips in disgust. If you didn't say a few words of complaint, wouldn't you recognize yourself?

"What do you mean? In the past, I was one of the most handsome."

Meng Shaode said as he returned to the courtyard, picked up the bucket and was about to add it to the water tank. When he saw it, he was stunned on the spot with his hands on the edge of the bucket.

"Mom, this meat is cured meat. It's easy to preserve. We won't eat this meat today. We'll keep it. Aren't there still a few nests here? Let's just eat this."

Ah Jiu had a bad feeling. The current era was not peaceful. Those with a good family had already moved their families south after getting the news from the city last month.

Those who stayed behind were either the old, weak, sick and disabled because there were no oxcarts, or they were ordinary people at the bottom who had not yet received news of the mutiny.

Cai Lihua was not happy: "If you don't eat meat, how will you gain weight? It doesn't matter. After eating, there is no meat to eat. Eat your father's meat. Look, your father has a lot of meat, and it is still lean meat."

"No, mother, there will definitely be news in the next few days, and everyone will have to flee..."

"Ah, heaven!"

Before Ah Jiu finished speaking, Dad's miserable roar came from the yard.

The mother and daughter looked sideways and saw that the big man, who was as strong as an ox, straightened up and lay on the ground, covering his face and crying:

"It's so ugly, for God's sake, how can I go out and meet people like this?"

"?" Little Ajiu looked confused. Looking at Aniang, she was very calm:

"Ignore your father, mother will make you eight-chop meat. This meat needs to be washed and bubbled. Each piece is not cut off, but is as thin as a cicada. This will especially test your knife skills."

Ah Jiu nodded blindly, his eyes still not leaving his father. He seemed to be lying on the ground with no intention of getting up, as if he was dead.

"Ade, what are you doing?" Before anyone arrived at the door, he shouted loudly, deafeningly.

Ah Jiu's face was calm, and she hurriedly ran back to the kitchen and hid behind Cai Lihua. Her voice was still trembling, and her long eyelashes fluttered uneasily:

"Mom, grandma is here."

Cai Lihua put down her kitchen knife and took a look outside. She saw Mrs. Wang stepping forward and poking the desperate Meng Shaode several times with her cane.

He turned around and glanced here mysteriously, then squatted down and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Meng Shaode sat up suddenly: "Mom, what did you say? There is a war in the city?"

"Come out with me. Mom has something to tell you."

Mrs. Wang glanced at the mother and daughter warily, as if she had some shocking secret that she couldn't let the mother and daughter know, and then walked out of the courtyard with her little feet.

Ah Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't bring someone to arrest her.

She had the intention to protect herself from Grandma and her mother, but if Grandma didn't return the money, she wouldn't have the ability to fight against the Li family if she wanted to live a good life again.

"Why is this little lady so mysterious?" Cai Lihua wiped her hands and hid behind the door, trying to find a way out of the corner.

Ah Jiu cautiously approached, it didn't matter what he heard.

"Ade, that's what happened. Your eldest brother just came to the city today and got the news that there was a mutiny in the city and there was going to be a war. He said he was secretly coming to capture the young man tonight."

"Just in time, you send that bitchy girl to the Li family, and Lihua doesn't want to take her with her. A lot of people have opened their mouths, and in the middle of the night they pack up and go to the old home with my mother and your eldest brother, and take Nanxing with them. That's it."

Ah Jiu's thin body trembled, she bit her lips and tugged on her mother's skirt.

Cai Lihua's face turned pale, and she would be unsteady on her feet for a while.
