Chapter 164

It was only three months since I left Luer Village. When I came back, Zhao Jiner seemed to be a different life.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw several new tombs at the entrance of the village, with paper money floating all over the ground, and white banners inserted on the grave.

There were still several women crying in the cemetery.

Zhao Jiner was shocking to see, "Why did so many people die at once?"

Qin Muxiu did not answer.

If I remember correctly, in the previous life, many people in Luer Village starved to death.

When the donkey cart approached, Zhao Jiner reacted when she saw the thin faces of the crying women.

Apart from her long sigh, she was speechless.

The entire Quanzhou County is surrounded by several mountains. Except for counties, towns, and villages below are almost all built around the foot of the mountain.

Xiaogang Village occupies a very superior hinterland, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has relatively large flat land. The mulberry seeds have unique geographical conditions.

In addition, the people's customs are hardworking, and every family has some surplus grain or savings, which is considered a rich village in all villages.

So during this disaster, the villagers of Xiaogang Village tightened their belts. Although they lived a tight life, there would not be such a miserable incident as starving to death.

Luer Village is different. It is sandwiched between two high mountains. Even the town has to climb over the mountain, and the arable land is not as fertile as Xiaogang Village.

The villagers are living a life of less than a year, and this hailstorm directly smashes most of the food rations.

In the case of the Zhao family, the uncle is lame, the aunt is lazy, and the cousin is still young. If it weren't for the huge sum of eight taels of silver for selling Zhao Jiner, they would have been starved to death long ago.

As soon as the donkey cart entered the village, someone stretched out his head to see.

"Whose donkey cart is this?"

"Now, people can't even eat tree bark. This donkey is so fat and strong. It's a wealthy family!"

"Hey, why does that girl in the car look so familiar? Isn't that Jinya from the old Zhao family?"

"Didn't she be sold to a tuberculosis man by her aunt? Why did she come back in a donkey cart? Isn't the handsome young man sitting next to her hers a man?"

This is the case with the countryside. Even though they can’t even get rid of the blame and are about to starve to death, they still like to grow their mouths on others. The slap of the boss, Li’s family, seems to be able to fill their stomachs.

Zhao Jiner ignored people's comments and drove the donkey cart to the gate of Zhaojiayuan.

The Zhao family's yard is no better than the Qin family's earth-walled yard. It is just tied up with a circle of fences. The door is also a wooden door, which is better than nothing.

The door was hidden, and it opened with a slight push.

The two of them pulled the donkey cart into the room.

I saw a chaotic yard, and it was obvious that no one had cleaned up for a long time, and there was almost no place to put it in.

The donkey cart was very moving. When the uncle Zhao Zheng heard the noise, he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Who is here?"

Zhao Jin'er replied, "Uncle, it's me, Jinya."

Zhao Zheng was excited, "Jin Ya? Are you back?"

Zhao Jiner and Qin Muxiu took off the things from the car and put them inside the house.

Jiang Cuilan walked, and was not as fast as them, and she hadn't come back yet.

I saw Zhao Zheng and Zhuzi and his son, tilted their heads and faces on the kang, with two broken pieces of catkins on their bodies, not even a quilt, and there was no fire in the kang, and the room was as cold as an ice cellar.

Zhao Zheng clenched his fist and covered his mouth, coughing high and low, his eyes turning red.

The pillar in his sleep also coughs a few times from time to time.

It seems that Jiang Cuilan did not lie, and both the father and son were sick.

The bone-thrusting coldness suddenly brought Zhao Jiner's memory back to the miserable and miserable times in the past.
