Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 29
"You? Dashan Niang, why have I offended you? You actually said such words to humiliate me?"

Although Liu Sen and Liang Shuyan were neighbors on weekdays, they rarely spoke. Today she was scolding her like this, which naturally made Liu Sen feel uncomfortable. How did she know so clearly about her family's affairs?

Li Zheng himself looked down on Liu Sen, a man who was lazy and eager to eat. In the village, anyone who saw such a man would close the door.

He didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but he didn't expect that he would start a quarrel with Liang Shuyan at this moment, so he came over.

"I said Liu Sen, what Dashan Niang said is absolutely right. You are also very lazy at home. When you see smoke coming from someone's chimney, you put your hands in your sleeves and go to someone's house to eat. Tell me, you are like this Do you have the nerve to question Dashan Niang here?"

Seeing Li Zheng coming, Liu Sen lowered his head and stopped talking.

Aunt Liu quickly stepped forward and winked, implying that she wanted Liang Shuyan and Li Zheng to stop saying anything, otherwise they would still be a family in the future and would inevitably find trouble for her.

Li Zheng understood and sighed softly: "Okay, stop yelling, let's go after the repairs are done. Qingfeng Town is not far ahead. When we get to the town, we need to find a place to stay first!"

Liang Shuyan didn't even want to look at Liu Sen. She sympathized with Aunt Liu and said, "Aunt Liu, look, our two families have been in a relationship for many years. Why don't you kick him out if your man is like this?" Or simply separate?"

Aunt Liu quickly pulled Liang Shuyan aside and said: "I said his aunt, you know, she is very strong and knows how to beat people. She is very fierce when beating people. She often gets up in the middle of the night and makes troubles. How can I be?" As for his opponent, the last time we had a fight, I mentioned the separation of our families, and he almost beat me to death!"

"What about the family's income?"

"Income, you know, except for some public grains paid to the village, the grains our family has are not enough to eat. My old man actually took them out for burial. If he wanted to eat meat, he would sell the grains. When there was no dry tobacco, he would sell grain. In winter, when the stove for making tea ran out of charcoal, he would go up to his house and lift off the roof to use as firewood..."

Aunt Liu choked up as she spoke and rolled up her sleeves: "Her aunt, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Look at what's on my body. It's all because of the plague!"

"Your son doesn't care about his father either?" Liang Shuyan complained.

"Son, as long as you don't beat your son, that's fine. What else are you thinking about? I'm a hard worker. I'd rather be a widow like you. That way I'd be free. Look, I haven't entered the city yet. They are targeting my two daughters, what should I do?"

An idea immediately came to Liang Shuyan's mind, and she took Aunt Liu's hand: "Her aunt, are you willing to believe me?"

"Of course, we have been old neighbors and sisters for so many years, how can we not believe it?"

Aunt Liu took Liang Shuyan's hands and looked at Liang Shuyan in front of her.

"Why don't you do this? When you get to the town this time, you first ask him where he is going, let him find a place to live, and see what his plans are. If he has no plans, you can follow me first and then find a suitable place. Give him a chance to get rid of him!"

Aunt Liu's eyes widened: "Well, this is not good. After all, he is also the father of several children. Besides, after so many years, I am really used to it."

Liang Shuyan knew that she had really opened her mouth. After saying this, she immediately waved her hand: "Anyway, these are your family affairs. If you feel reluctant to part with it, just pretend that I didn't say it!"

In front, someone had already shouted: "We're here, Qingfeng Town is ahead, take a look!" Li Zheng chose a place and ordered everyone to stop: "You all wait here, I will go and talk to the gatekeeper first. Just tell the yamen officer and we'll go in!"

Everyone stopped again. Liang Shuyan looked at her donkey cart and comforted her family members with a smile: "It's okay. Isn't this the place we're at? When the time comes, we'll rent a larger room to live in first!"

Erniu raised his head: "Mom, when we enter the town, everything here will be very expensive. Renting a house will cost several taels of silver at least. We don't even have food. Where can we get it? Rent a house for money?”

What Liang Shuyan didn't like to hear the most was these negative words. She poked Er Niu hard on the head: "You, really, I have taught you to be more positive no matter what you say or do. Look at you. There is nothing inspiring about these words!”

Er Niu was born this year. He covered his head and said, "Mom, what my son said is right. Where is the money we have now?"

Li Zheng walked over to discuss the matter of entering the city. He might have been shocked, but now he was sitting on the ground smoking.

"Stop talking, I'm going to see how Li Zheng is doing. Does he seem to have encountered some problem?"

Li Zheng said with a bitter look on his face: "Master Fuya hasn't informed us yet, but the gatekeeper refuses to let us all enter the city?"

Liang Shuyan glanced at the two gatekeepers and raised her lips: "Hey, the gatekeeper won't let me in, so I'll find a way to get the gatekeeper to let me in!"

Li Lanfang sat on the donkey cart, glanced at Liang Shuyan, and ordered Mrs. Zhang to follow her to see what was going on.
Mrs. Zhang nodded and followed her mother-in-law.

Liang Shuyan turned around and saw Mrs. Zhang: "Why are you here and don't you take good care of the child?"

Mrs. Zhang hesitated: "No, mother, it was my grandma who was worried and asked her daughter-in-law to come to you."

Liang Shuyan was sitting under a tree not far from the guards, listening to what the two guards were saying.

One of the guards seemed to be saying: "Oh, in such a cold weather, it would be great if there was a jug of wine and a plate of meat!"

Another guard glanced at him: "What are you dreaming about in broad daylight? As long as those refugees don't enter the city, your salary and mine will be saved. You still want those good things, but I really want to eat meat." I’m drunk, but unfortunately, I can only think about it.”

Outside the city, there happened to be a meat seller carrying a pole and shouting. Liang Shuyan glanced at Zhang, pointed to the hawker not far in front and said: "You see it, go and buy two kilograms of pig head meat, and then go to the wine shop next door." Get two ounces of wine in the shop and go quickly!"

Mrs. Zhang was confused: "Mom, aren't we going to the city now? Why are we spending this wasted money? When the time comes, we will have to rent a house when we enter the city."

Seeing that she was motionless, Liang Shuyan stepped forward and pinched her: "Go away, you porcelain piece of shit!"
