“I’ve never seen such a scene before.” Zhou Ying shook her head.
Even when her parents wanted something from her in her previous life, they would request it secretly. They would never make such a scene so shamelessly. “What’s going on?” She asked curiously. “Why are there so many families making a scene?”
“To put it bluntly, it’s all because of the wolf meat. After a whole morning of publicity by those who came to the village to fetch water, anyone related to someone here came to ask for meat.” At this point, Sixth Aunt Gu pointed to a family in front of her and said, “This family was a daughter of this house’s family who married off to another village, and she brought her whole family over.”
After that, she pointed to another place and said, “That’s their daughter-in-law’s family. They’re all relatives here. What do you think their relationship will be like in the future?”
“No one’s living the good life these days. To put it bluntly, it’s all because of the drought.”
“Indeed, I don’t know when there will be heavy rain. The heavens certainly want to take our poor lives.” Sixth Aunt Gu expressed concern.
The problem was that the little underground water they had couldn’t solve the root of the problem. The village would only get more and more chaotic as time went on.
Zhou Ying didn’t look forward to heavy rain after hearing it. As the saying goes, a long-term drought will lead to floods. If there was heavy rain now, who knows what might happen?
“Mother, Mother, I beg you. Look at your grandsons. They’ve all lost so much weight. Please do us a favor and give us some meat.
“We’ll be fine with some black flour if there’s no meat. We’re not picky.” While wiping her tears, the woman who had been pushed to the ground said.
Behind her knelt three children between the ages of three and ten, and behind the children stood a hunchbacked man with a bitter face.
Looking at the skinny appearance of the family of five, one could tell that their days were hard. But who wasn’t?
“You guys can go. It’s not that I don’t care about you, but the problem is that we aren’t living well either.” As she wiped her tears, the elderly woman in front of her said.
After she finished speaking, she looked at another woman beside them.
The woman didn’t even look at her. Instead, she rolled her eyes and said, “What are you looking at? Our family only has a total of eight acres of land. We only harvested a hundred pounds of wheat from five acres of land. This amount of grain has to last us for a year. Do you want our entire family to starve to death?”
She then looked at the kneeling woman and continued, “Sister, don’t just think about your three children. You should also think about your nephews and our family.
“We have two households with a total of six children and five adults.
“We are only eating two meals daily and are only half full at every meal. How are we going to help you?
“If you really want to live, you can go up the mountain. There are wild vegetables, fruits, and leaves that can be mixed with low-grade flour. Although you won’t be filled, you won’t starve to death.
“Besides, it’s not like your family is dying; who can you blame if you can’t make ends meet on your own?”
“Hey, how can you say that? There are wolves on the mountain.” The old lady said so angrily.
“The wolf pack has long been wiped out.” The woman laughed and then looked at the kneeling woman. “It’s up to you whether you want to go or not. In any case, you won’t be taking any of the food or meat with you.”
After that, she went home.
The old woman was also in a difficult position and looked at the people around her.
However, not only did the onlookers not help, they also quickly dispersed.
If it was before, they might have spoken up for her or given her some things.
However, in the current situation, no one knew when the drought would be over, so no one wanted to be implicated.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying also immediately left.
The old woman sighed and turned around to go home.
Seeing this, the woman crawled to the ground and burst into tears..
