It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 376
Su Zheng glanced at her, sighed, and said slowly, "Our Su family village, and the nearby villages, including our own daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law's family's side."

"Because you helped grassland people buy sweet potato vines and hired people to deliver sweet potato vines years ago, and earned some money, although the money is not very much. But we rural people can also live, basically as long as we don't compare with the city, we will have meat every day. , delicious food, spicy food. You can still eat and drink, and you won’t die of starvation.”

Su Rui nodded, "That's right."

She also heard from Mrs. Hua, Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Zhao, the daughter-in-law of Su Changsheng, that because of the sweet potato vine, their natal family basically earned two or three taels of silver, at least twenty or thirty. money.

Of course, there are also those who earn a lot, like Zhao's natal family, three brothers, plus four or five nephews, all went to give sweet potato vines, and all of a sudden, plus the money from selling sweet potato vines, they earned more than ten taels of silver.

Su Zheng continued, "However, many remote villages are not as lucky as ours..."

Su Rui raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Su Changsheng looked at his father and spoke slowly, but he didn't want to get to the point. Immediately, he became anxious and said quickly, "Rui girl, you don't know. Years ago, people from our village or the village next door went to the county seat , all encountered refugees, all of them were robbing food, and some robbing children."

"If you hadn't told us in advance that there are refugees coming in and out now, and we have informed the people in the village that there must be many people in company when going out, it is estimated that people in our village would either be robbed of money or be robbed Stealing the child..."

Su Zheng was dissatisfied that his son had robbed him of his words, but he didn't say anything, he just glared at him, turned to Su Rui and said sincerely.

"Miss Rui, thank you for informing us in advance..."

Su Rui was stunned by Su Changsheng's words. She could understand that she was hungry when she snatched food, but what about snatching people?Could it be that they pretended to be refugees and robbed and sold them to other places?Thinking of this, she asked this question, but when Su Changsheng and Su Zheng heard this, their complexions became unhappy, Su Rui was very strange.

"Grandpa Patriarch, Uncle Chang Sheng, what's wrong? What did I say wrong?"

Su Zheng sighed heavily again, "Hey, girl Rui, at first when the Mingzhou boy encountered those, he probably pretended, but this time it's not..."

"And what they rob food is to eat, and they rob children, and they have the same idea..."

Su Rui was stunned when she heard the words, and it took a while to recover, and asked quickly, "What do you mean by having the same idea?"

Su Changsheng sneered, "What's the point? For eating meat..."

When Su Rui heard this, her stomach rolled and she couldn't help it anymore, she rushed out of the main room, squatted on the ground and began to "vomit".

Mrs. Zhao was carrying firewood from the firewood room to the stove room. When she saw Su Rui squatting on the ground and vomiting, she was startled. She hurriedly threw away the firewood in her hand and ran over. ask.

"Rui girl, you, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? What's wrong?"

Su Changsheng and Su Zheng were taken aback by Su Rui's sudden movement, and after realizing it, they hurriedly chased him out.

"Rui girl, how are you doing?"

"Miss Rui, don't be afraid, this cannibalism has happened since ancient times, but we haven't seen it now..."

Su Rui, who was getting better, just wanted to say that she was fine, but when she heard what Su Changsheng said, she immediately lowered her head and "vomited" again, throwing up all her bile.

Mrs. Zhao didn't know what was going on at first, but now she will know, and ignored her father-in-law, she slapped Su Changsheng on the back angrily.

"What are you talking about?"

Su Zheng glared at Su Changsheng displeasedly, then turned to Su Rui and continued, "Girl Rui, do you want to find a doctor for you?"

Su Changsheng looked at his daughter-in-law and his father aggrievedly, and thought that he was right... and his father had seen cannibals when he was a child...
Su Rui waved her hand weakly, "Grandpa Patriarch, don't call Langzhong, I'm much better."

After speaking, she looked at Mrs. Zhao apologetically, "Aunt Zhao, I'm sorry, I made your yard dirty."

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao helped her up, and hurriedly said, "Hey, it's dirty or not. I'll clean it up in a while. Wait a minute. Auntie will pour you a glass of water and rinse your mouth."

Hearing this, Su Changsheng hurriedly said, "Help girl Rui, I'll pour water."

After speaking, he ran to the kitchen and poured a glass of warm water.

Su Rui took it, rinsed her mouth, returned the cup to Su Changsheng, smiled weakly at him, "Thank you, Uncle Changsheng."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao said, "Thank him for what he did? If he wasn't talking nonsense, would you be able to do this? Go back to the main room for a meeting."

Su Zheng nodded in agreement, "Your aunt is right."

After speaking, the three of them walked into the main room, leaving only Su Changsheng who was stunned in place...
Su Rui sat down and waited for a long time before Su Changsheng recovered his senses and walked in. Looking at the weak Su Rui, he blamed himself in his heart.

"Miss Rui, I'm sorry, it's all my uncle's fault..."

Su Rui hurriedly waved her hands, "Uncle Chang Sheng, I don't blame you for this, but I can only blame me for not having seen it before. I can't accept it for a while."

Hearing this, Su Zheng took a deep puff of his cigarette, "What is this? Now we encounter fewer people. In the past three years of famine, they all ate their own food, and even sold their own food to officials."

"Or if you don't want to eat your own food, just exchange food between the two!"

Su Rui suppressed the nausea in her heart, and said in disbelief, "What?"

Mrs. Zhao heard the words and said, "Girl Rui, these are true. There used to be a family in my natal village. There were originally six daughters in the family, but in the end there were only three left, and the remaining three were used as incense. I ate the meat..."

Su Rui was stunned, "Fragrant meat? What is it?"

Su Changsheng interjected, "It's dog meat. People who have eaten human meat have said that the taste of human meat is similar to fragrant meat, but it is softer than fragrant meat. It is said to be a rare delicacy, especially for girls... ············"

"what?"

Su Rui opened her eyes wide in horror, and tightly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, unable to recover for a long time...
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao stepped forward and patted Su Changsheng again, and said displeasedly, "Why are you so straightforward?"

Su Changsheng was aggrieved, "But if you don't say it directly, how do you understand it?"

Zhao, "···········"

It took Su Rui a long time to react, and she asked suspiciously, "Grandpa Patriarch, Uncle Chang Sheng, why are you telling me this?"
