It's too hard to flee famine, don't be afraid! Evil mother-in-law has a system

Chapter 39 The Zhou family also came to borrow food

The blizzard did not stop, so we could only continue to stay at the inn. One night passed, and more than a dozen people died. Yesterday, there were still people walking around and chatting in groups, but now almost everyone is silent.

This is a true portrayal of refugees.

Looking at the flying snow in the sky, Li Wei also felt melancholy.

Some people can't wait any longer. There is no food, and it's too snowy to go out to find food. If they stay here any longer, they will freeze to death or starve to death. Since they are all going to die, it is better to go out and seek a chance to survive.

As a result, some people began to consider continuing to Tongchuan.

Li Wei didn't leave. If you go out in this kind of weather, you will definitely die. Here, as long as there are no avalanches and landslides, you can survive.

Soon, half of the people who stayed at the inn were gone, and the remaining half froze to death by the next morning.

On the morning of the third day, more than a dozen people froze to death again. Whether they stayed or left, everyone became more and more panicked.

Gu Fugui couldn't stay any longer. If the snow kept falling, he would have nothing to do. He wanted to take a gamble.

"In-laws, how can we just eat carrots? No matter what, please lend us some rice. The children haven't had a bite of rice since yesterday." Sister-in-law Zhou begged.

Sister-in-law Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou looked at Li Wei expectantly.

The Zhou family immediately became unhappy. They invited everyone to eat meat, but only gave themselves a few radishes.

After the elder sister-in-law of the Zhou family finished speaking, she saw that Li Wei only drank her own soup and did not answer any questions at all.

Although Zhou Chunxiu was very dissatisfied with them, he was his brother after all and could not watch them starve to death.

"Just remember that she is my second sister-in-law. I am worried that some people will cheat on you."

As soon as Zhou Chunxiu said this, everyone in the Gu family looked at her. Under everyone's attention, Zhou Chunxiu lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

Those who had not yet left saw that there were radishes and came to dig them up.

"It's just this food. See if you can lend us some for emergency purposes first."

Although Zhou Chunxiu couldn't do anything to Li Wei, she was not polite to Gu Laosi at all.

There are fewer and fewer people in the inn, but people are still freezing to death every day, and the people left behind are becoming more and more useless.

But after standing for a while, the raincoat was covered with snow. I turned around and was about to leave, when I stepped on it and saw some green leaves.

"Why, your mother's family has food and plans to supplement it."

"This is called poking a lung tube. Then some people are taking advantage of my family's difficulties and want fifty taels from me at the drop of a hat. What are they doing?"

"I'm sorry, we don't have much food with us. We are a big family and the in-laws really don't have anything to eat. Let's take some radishes here."

The Gu family's mood became increasingly depressed, and everyone knew that the situation was not good.

Zhou Chunxiu was stunned?=, the Zhou family also settled at the post station. They brought little food with them when they came out this time. After persisting for a few days, they were now at the end of their rope.

Quickly ask Mr. Gu and the others to dig radishes.

Zhou Chunxiu drank the soup, calculation flashed in his eyes.

Sister-in-law Zhou and Sister-in-law Zhou were dissatisfied when they saw Li Wei's resolute attitude, but they could only leave with a few radishes.

He had no choice but to continue speaking awkwardly.

Who knows, at this moment, the eldest brother, second brother, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law of the Zhou family came with a bowl of carrot soup.

Thinking of his nephews and nieces, Zhou Chunxiu also felt a little distressed.

"The in-laws will still be able to live a happy life. Don't mention it, your shed is really nice. You won't feel the wind at all when you sit in it."

"I thought I would arrive at my parents' house in half a day, but I didn't realize I was stuck here for so long."

"If it tastes good, drink more. There's still some in the pot outside." Li Wei said lukewarmly.

Zhou Chunxiu felt uncomfortable seeing her sister-in-law in such a mess, and she was even more dissatisfied when she looked at the fourth child with a look of disgust.

"My dear, everything in the past was all a misunderstanding. If Chunxiu did anything wrong, I will apologize to you on her behalf."

Gu Laosi: "Humph, didn't your Zhou family ask my mother to give fifty taels of silver to help my second brother settle down next year? How come we don't even have food now?"

Gu Lao Er looked embarrassed. Seeing that his wife had a big belly, he had no choice but to persuade Gu Lao Si.

Looking at the lifeless faces, Li Wei walked towards the back of the inn, praying that the snow would stop soon.

"My dear, thanks to you, we can still have a bowl of carrot soup today."

"No one wants this natural disaster, so we have the shamelessness to ask our relatives for help."

But now, before he opened his mouth, he was blocked by the old woman.

Sister-in-law Zhou was drinking soup while winking at Zhou Chunxiu. How could Zhou Chunxiu dare to pay attention to her sister-in-law? She deliberately lowered her head and pretended not to see her.

Zhou Chunxiu cursed in his heart that Li Wei was too cunning and it seemed that he had no choice but to let his brother and sister-in-law off. It wasn't that she didn't help, it was that there was nothing she could do.

Zhou Chunxiu couldn't help but went to Gu Laoer: "You just watch your brother treat me like this?"

The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family looked at the Gu family's shed and said with envy.

"This is better than the inn where the windows are all leaking."

"Everyone, my abilities are limited. A few radishes are my limit. If I don't want them, there's nothing I can do."

He came uninvited and glanced left and right. The Gu family in the shed all looked unhappy, and Zhou Chunxiu also looked embarrassed.

Li Wei was also in a hurry, but she checked the weather forecast and said there would be at least three more days of heavy snowfall.

Li Wei glanced at Zhou Chunxiu, her eyes flashed with displeasure.

Besides, why can the second and third bedrooms get half a bag of brown rice, but her two brothers can’t give it to them?

Moreover, she saw that Li Wei was not panicked at all and looked confident, so she felt that there must be a lot of food in the baskets on the cart.

"Fourth brother, please stop saying a few words, this is your second sister-in-law."

"My dear, actually we are here to discuss something with you."

"What kind of person, a carrot is already good, but you still despise it, and if you don't despise it anymore, you won't give me a piece of radish skin." Gu Laosi looked at the backs of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law of the Zhou family and cursed.

"Actually, we came here to borrow some food from you. To be honest, we came out in a hurry this time and we brought very little food."

"Mom, please lend me some rice to my sister-in-law and the others."

The eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law of the Zhou family were naturally very angry at this clear statement, but they had to swallow their anger because they were not kind at first and now they came to ask for help.

Gu Laosi has always been dissatisfied with Zhou Chunxiu, and his words are not polite.

Gu Fugui couldn't wait any longer and decided to set off with his family in the wind and snow. When people in Dahe Village saw Gu Fugui leaving, many people followed them, including Gu Dazhuang and Gu Xiaozhuang's family.

Seeing that her sister-in-law was unreliable, the elder sister-in-law of the Zhou family decided to do it herself.

"Mom, how much food does our family have?"

"Fourth child, you clearly know that my parents are gone. Did you deliberately say that to poke my lungs?"

This week, my sister-in-law at least seems to be sincere on the surface.

Washing the radish with snow until it turned white and long and fat, Li Wei seemed to have a light in her heart. As long as she didn't starve to death and freeze to death, there was hope.

Li Wei asked Lin Dahong to take out the big pot at home, cut half a piece of bacon into diced meat, and cooked a large pot of bacon and radish soup.

Then I kicked the snow away, and there were radishes underneath.

"Don't worry, my in-laws helped us, and we will definitely remember this love."

On a cold day, a bowl of hot soup can warm everyone's heart.

But with Li Wei here, she couldn't lose her temper, so she just took it out on Da Yaer Ya.

When everyone was confused, he grabbed Da Ya's waist and pinched it away. Da Ya was so painful that tears rolled in her eyes, but she didn't dare to scream.

I had no choice but to walk far away.

Seeing Da Ya's expression of being angry and afraid to speak, the depression in Zhou Chunxiu's heart dissipated a lot.
