Long after Jiang Yun Xiu left, Mrs. Chen was still standing at the gate, as if she could wait for her to come back this way.
Jiang Yun Zhu knew she was sad and didn't bother her.
The sun was slightly slanting. Autumn sun that shone on people was warm. Jiang Yun Zhu looked up. Seeing the high sky and calm clouds, her heart instantly opened up. This long-lost sense of freedom really made people extremely happy.
That’s right. Jiang Yun Zhu didn't miss the life in the Marquis Anping Manor at all. Including her husband Lin Ting An who everyone admired.
To her, it was like a prison. Originally, she thought about how she would escape if she entered the Marquis Manor this time. Now everything was all right. A lot of effort was saved.
But right now she had an urgent problem to solve.
The past two years Changfeng had been severely affected by disasters. Last year, there was a severe drought and no crops were harvested. This year, there was drought and locust plagues. How serious was this disaster? Summer was the time when plants were lush, but when one looked around, there was no green at all. Bare ground for thousands of miles around.
The people were destitute and homeless. Countless people died of thirst and starvation.
It was also because of this that hardworking couple Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen were forced to sell their daughter to live.
Jiang Yun Zhu thought, can’t stay in this Changfeng anymore.
One, the disaster here was too serious. There was an old saying, rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times. She felt this was very reasonable. If the society was stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, then a dog may eat meat. Just like modern society.
Conversely, if the society was in turmoil and the people were poor, no matter how hard a person works, it will be difficult to live the life he wants.
So if they want to live a good life, they must first move to a rich place.
Another point, she remembered that there would still be a drought in Changfeng next year.
Jiang Family will go to flee when the mountains are poor and rivers run out next year. That was why she couldn’t contact them when she wanted to after she gained a firm foothold in the Marquis Anping Manor in her dream.
Since this was the case, why not switch from being passive into taking initiative and move in advance?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun Zhu wandered around in the yard.
Soon, she found Jiang Cheng, who was squatting with his head drooped under the back eaves. He was this body’s father.
Afraid of embarrassing Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yun Zhu backed away. Then she deliberately made her steps heavy and walked over there.
Hearing footsteps, Jiang Cheng quickly wiped his eyes, and stood up.
"Father, I know you're sad. But things are already like this. Let's think about what to do in the future. As for Yun Xiu, I think we will meet her again in the future." Jiang Yun Zhu persuaded. She was telling the truth.
Jiang Cheng thought she was comforting him. How could they possibly see their sold daughter again.
"It's Father who wronged you guys." Jiang Cheng spoke. It was him who was useless.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't want to talk about this topic. In famine years, people exchanging their children for food happened.
Jiang Cheng was silent for a while, thinking that it was time to think about the future. He already lost one daughter and didn't want to lose another.
"Don't worry. With these six liang, we should be able to last until next year when we are frugal with the expenses. Once next year’s spring..."
"What if there is still a severe drought next year?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.
Jiang Cheng was stunned by the question and subconsciously wanted to answer ‘How is that possible.’ But when he thought about the severe drought last year and the severe drought and locust plague this year, it seems that next year's severe drought wasn’t impossible.
That’s right, what if there was a severe drought next year? He froze.
Jiang Yun Zhu waited for him to come back to his senses.
After a while, Jiang Cheng responded, "Call your mother and Jiang Lin and the others over. Let's have a good discussion."
Jiang Family didn’t only have two daughters, Jiang Yun Zhu and Jiang Yun Xiu, but also two sons and a daughter- Jiang Lin, Jiang Yun Xue, and Jiang Wu. It was just that they were too young. During this time, no one wanted them even when given to others for free.
Jiang Yun Zhu nodded and went to call Mrs. Chen and others.
After a while, the whole family gathered in the house.
Jiang Yun Zhu held Jiang Wu's hand and entered the room.
Jiang Wu was only six years old this year. Quite healthy and cute.
Both Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen had good looks. Jiang Cheng had a typical square face, while Mrs. Chen had the gentleness of a Jiangnan water town and fair skin. So the children of Jiang Family were all very good-looking. When Jiang Yun Zhu saw Jiang Wu, she was fond of him.
Unfortunately, in the dream, he seemed to have died on the way to seeking refuge.
That was right, if going according to the situation in the dream, Jiang Family will wait until next year when the money is spent before fleeing. Jiang Wu was so young, it was normal that he can't hold on.
Fortunately, it shouldn’t happen now.
Jiang Yun Zhu clenched Jiang Wu's hand. Jiang Wu leaned against her leg and blinked his big round eyes. He seemed to sense that something happened at home
"Family Head." Chen didn't know what happened and asked Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng repeated what Jiang Yun Zhu said just now and asked her what she thought.
Mrs. Chen was at a loss. Will there be a severe drought next year? Lord Heaven just won’t give people a way to survive! But now that it was autumn and there was no sign of rain at all. Maybe it will really happen next year...
She didn't dare to think about it before. She always hoped that it would be better next year. But now someone pointed it out, it was like she awakened from a dream.
What to do? She looked at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng turned to Jiang Yun Zhu. He felt that after this incident, she seemed to have grown up a lot.
