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

Chapter 42 Death of Lao Luotou

The sun gradually set, and Daling Village fell into silence.

Liang Shuyan felt in a particularly good mood today. Although there were some minor incidents due to Dahei's incident, it was settled in the end. Thinking of Beibei grabbing so many places at once, she felt like she had a little baby in her heart. Rabbit, keep jumping!

Just as she was about to close the door and praise her precious grandson, she heard a piece of bad news that made her legs tremble immediately.

"Old Luo Tou was starved to death by his son. I heard that Old Luo Tou worked hard all his life, but his son and daughter-in-law didn't give him anything to eat when he was old, so he starved to death!" Ms. Liu came over and said with a face Instantly extremely pale.

"I know about Lao Luotou's second daughter-in-law. She wasn't an economical person when she was in her parents' home. Her mother was always instigating her. I think this was because she had just fled here and there was probably nothing to eat at home, so she was hungry. Die!"

Jin Erniu glanced at Mrs. Liu with disgust: "What do you know? Old Luo Tou knows that there is only a little food left at home. He doesn't want to eat it and wants to leave it to his grandson. What are you making up here? "

Jin Dashan was chopping firewood in the yard. When he heard the discussion about the old Luotou, he waved his hand: "Mom, this old Luotou often quarreled with the old lady. The sons and daughters-in-law at home all turned against the old lady of the Luo family. I heard that the daughter-in-law found him hiding in the house. I didn't say anything to him until I took the knife on the pillow. This old Luo Tou didn't want to live for a long time. This time, it seems that he really got his wish?"

Liang Shuyan's heart seemed to be scratched by something sharp, and it was bloody.

Even if there is a conflict in the family, we can't go without food and starve to death. There must be a hidden secret that we don't know about. Who would starve to death by himself?

At first, when Liang Shuyan came to Daling Village and saw the stone tower pointed by Wang Dakui, she felt a little shadowy. Did the whole village move away because of the unlucky nature of this stone tower?
Now, she thought that at least being diligent would prevent people from starving to death. Unexpectedly, this tragic fact happened.

Liang Shuyan's sweet dream was completely shattered before it even started.

Li Lanfang reassured: "Forget it, we even ate locusts along the way. Some people didn't have anything to eat at home. Didn't they all starve to death? Okay, don't be depressed. Go back to the house. Go to bed early!”

Yes, we had promised to sow seeds tomorrow morning, so we still had to make preparations. Liang Shuyan pulled her thoughts away from Old Luo Tou.

"Dashan, two oxen, three prosperous. Get up early tomorrow morning. Dashan chops firewood, two oxen carries water, and three prosperous feeds Dahei and kittens. After the house is tidied up, we will go up the mountain to sow seeds. Brother Li Zheng will sow seeds for our family." , Li Zheng also helps, so none of you can be lazy for me. The elder’s family is responsible for taking care of the house and cooking at home, and the second child’s family will go up the mountain to deliver food to us as soon as the sun comes up!"

Several children nodded. Niu Niu licked her lips and said with some envy: "Mom, Niu Niu also wants to go. Niu Niu wants to go to the mountain to catch butterflies!"

"You stay at home and be obedient. Are there any butterflies on the mountain so early in the morning?"

After arranging things for tomorrow morning, Liang Shuyan walked into her room, followed by Li Lanfang.

Under the weak light, Liang Shuyan let out a long breath: "Mom, old Luo Tou is really pitiful. I'm afraid there won't be any money to bury him after he dies. Although our family doesn't have much money, I still want to give them some money to bury him." .”

Li Lanfang shook her head, took Liang Shuyan's hand and said, "Shuyan, this child of the Luo family still doesn't know what's going on. Won't Li Zheng come to help us sow seeds tomorrow morning? Why don't we ask Li Zheng what he means." Liang Shuyan He pulled off the quilt and smelled: "Fortunately, there is no smell. Mom, go to bed early!"

Li Lanfang didn't say anything, and just blew out the oil lamp. Although she didn't show any sympathy for Lao Luotou, she knew that in this era, it was common for people to starve to death. Now, relying on her precious daughter It’s not a big deal to support such a big family, so you still have to do something?

Originally, she wanted to open a clinic, but now it seems that the clinic needs too much money. How can Liang Shuyan, a family in Daling Village, trust her to go to the town to open a clinic alone? After thinking for a while, Li Lanfang decided to do some embroidery first. If you take the goods to the market and sell them, you might be able to get some money.

Outside the window, there was a sound of sweeping the yard. Liang Shuyan climbed up, opened the curtains and took a look at the yard. Dashan was sweeping the yard with a broom.

She got up carefully, put on her clothes, and was about to go out. However, Li Lanfang opened her eyes and grabbed Liang Shuyan's hands: "Shuyan, it's cold in the morning. Wear more clothes. Don't catch a cold. Let's go." The kids should wear some clothes too!”

Is this old lady really dedicated to taking care of her daughter?Liang Shuyan couldn't help but look at Li Lanfang distressedly and said: "Mom, don't worry, I'm a man of my age, you should go back to sleep as soon as possible!"

In the kitchen, Ms. Zhang was wearing an apron and was cooking. Ms. Liu was wearing a gown with half of her arms exposed. She was carrying a bamboo cage and placed it in a basin, and she was scrubbing it with her hands.

"This bamboo cage hasn't been used for a long time. We used it once or twice when we passed through Shantun. I'd better wash it so as not to make fun of me."

Liang Shuyan heard clearly at the door that the second daughter-in-law still cared about the Jin family's face at the critical moment, but she could not change her gossipy temperament.

"Younger's family, what are you wearing? It's very cold early in the morning. Why don't you change into thicker clothes quickly?"

Mrs. Zhang stirred the wrinkles in the pot with a spoon and said with a smile: "Mom, it won't be too cold when the sun comes out. You'll be fine at home."

"Women are most afraid of the cold, and you are the same. You should also dress warmly at home. When a woman gets older, every bone will hurt. At that time, no matter how much medicine she takes, it doesn't work, and she is still here talking to me!"

There was rice porridge in the pot, and steamed buns in the basket above. While taking the hot steamed buns, Mrs. Zhang said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that mother is doing this for our own good!"

In the yard, Jin Erniu came back from carrying water, and the water tank was full. He stood up the pole and placed it under the corner of the wall.

Dashan also chopped the firewood, packed the axe, and neatly collected the wooden pillars in the yard.

Sanwang fed Dahei, walked over with a wooden bucket, and placed the bucket on the table with a bang.

"Sanwang, can I just put this thing wherever I want?"
