Chapter 160 The Father Who Sells His Sons and Daughters Part 2
Chapter 160 The father who sells children and daughters 2
Qin's real hard life was when her daughter was one year old, and she finally got pregnant again under the few movements of her husband.
Dad Yao was very happy. In order to help his daughter-in-law supplement his nutrition, he was in his sixties and wanted to go up the mountain to find something for her to eat.
As a result, he accidentally slid down the mountain and fell to death...
Both the couple fell to death. The villagers said that Yao Chunlin was too lazy and could not even bear it, so they punished him.
Such remarks can't even be heard in Yao Chunlin...
Because he doesn't go out... Qin Xiaocui doesn't like to gossip. She goes out to work every day while pregnant, and hurried back home to cook halfway through.
After serving my husband and feeding my daughter, I put my daughter next to me and then hurried back to the field.
…………
In this way, she was obviously a family of three, but she was the only one trying to support the family.
Not long after, the government came to collect people to serve in the military, which scared the original body.
In order not to go to military service, he finally left the bed, ran to his parents' house and searched through boxes and cabinets. He found three taels of silver in his house, and sold the remaining two acres of land to make up ten taels of silver and handed over it.
The fields at home are gone, and Qin Xiaocui feels as if she is dead.
But it would be even worse to let your husband go to the battlefield to die, so the field still has to be sold.
After paying the remaining two taels of silver for military service, Yao Chunlin waved his hand and stuffed it to Qin Shi, and ordered: "Go and buy meat, get some wine back, keep the rest for peace."
The fields are gone, and life still has to be lived.
Qin Xiaocui cheered up and worked diligently to find food in the mountains, fetched firewood to sell, and helped others harvest wheat for five cents a day.
Then he raised chickens, caught insects and fed them. After laying eggs, he didn't want to eat them, so he sold them all.
In this way, after making some money, I went to someone else's house to make some noodles and go home to make wild vegetables, and I could still live a life of persistence.
It was not until five months after the son was born that his second military service came again.
This time, Yao Chunlin sold the house and homestead! He got twelve taels.
I still paid ten taels, and the remaining two taels were given to Qin's family as food expenses.
They moved to the abandoned thatched hut in the orchard to see the orchard and lived in it. Unexpectedly, they moved to the mountain and allowed Yao Chunlin to escape the night of the forced recruitment of men.
…………
Another year later, the third military service came.
Late at night, Qin, who was awake, heard the bitter crying sounds of shouting at the sky and the earth in the village at the foot of the mountain.
She felt panicked and quickly got up and went out. She approached the village in the dark and eavesdropped, and didn't even dare to take the torch!
"Official! The two sons in my family have been collected the previous two times. This is the only male in our family. Please let him go!" Aunt Yao San knelt on the ground and begged.
But the officers and soldiers who were begged were unmoved at all and said coldly: "Search the house and see if there are any strong men."
"Abide by the order!"
The officers and soldiers rushed in and even rushed into the boudoir of Aunt Yao San's little daughter, which scared Yao Xiaomei and ran out.
Then there were all kinds of smashing sounds...
"Boss, there are no strong men in this family, only a sixty-year-old man."
The man in the head-catching clothes nodded coldly, "Next House."
Aunt Yao San was kicked away by the man, and the officers and soldiers threatened to not shout again with their swords.
At the entrance of the village and at all intersections, officers and soldiers were guarding them.
Qin Xiaocui was so scared that her face was pale. She quickly retreated gently to the mountain road and ran back to the small wooden house with leaking air.
She had tears in her eyes, bit her lips tightly, shook Yao Chunlin's body with her hands, and shouted: "Master, wake up!Master."
"Damn, are you tired of living? What are you asking me to do in the middle of the night?" Yao Chunlin scolded angrily.
"Master, stop calling! Don't recruit officers and soldiers. Many officers and soldiers have come down from the mountain. They are recruiting strong men to serve as military camps!Master, let's run away!" Qin Xiaocui begged with tears on her face.
She cannot live without her husband, and it is even more difficult for an orphan and widow to live in this kind of year and month!
Yao Chunlin listened carefully and found that there were indeed many chaotic sounds at the foot of the mountain! He was shocked and quickly got up and put on his shoes and wanted to run away.
"Master, wait for us! I haven't got the stuff yet!"
Qin Xiaocui anxiously carried her one and a half-year-old son on her chest, woke her up and held her in her hands, packed up her clothes, household registration and money, and put them in a package.
Yao Chunlin, who originally planned to run away, thought that his wife bought it for three taels of silver, wouldn’t she lose money if she ran away?
So he stopped and waited for Qin Xiaocui to follow before quickly walking towards the mountain road.
………
The two of them didn't know the road, so they ran around the mountain road in the dark to the foot of the other side of the mountain, and ended up meeting someone who escaped from the next village.
So the two of them were overjoyed and quickly followed!
Disliked Yao Daya's slow walk, Yao Chunlin picked her up and followed her quickly.
This is also the first time that Yao Daya has hugged her since she was four years old!
The family of four walked with that group of people the next journey, and they were all from a village, so they were familiar with each other.
They were heading east.
In that direction, there is the strongest country in the mainland, Donglin Kingdom.
Because they were afraid of meeting people from the government, they could only walk through the mountains.
The mountains are very dangerous, but they are crowded and only walk around the periphery, so they can eat some wild fruits or something at the beginning.
Later, the drought became worse and they began to eat grass, bark, and roots.
The more people go, the more conflicts they are, the more they start quarreling and fighting!
In the end, everyone couldn't stand it anymore and decided to go to the city to see what was going on!
They spent a month walking around the mountains and coming to the nearest city.
…………
Outside the city gate, many people who fled to famine were already waiting, and they sat on the ground in a daze with a numb expression.
Some of them were born out of military service, some were born out of evading food tax, and some were born out of drought and famine.
Anyway, everyone is dressed in rags and smells bad.
The people in the team walked to the city gate and wanted to enter the city, but were stopped by the officers and soldiers, "Stop! One person has one tael of silver to enter the city."
"What? One person, one or two?"
"Oh my God! Why don't you guys go and grab it?"
"God! Open your eyes, we can no longer survive!!"
"Can you lose some? Our family of thirteen people can get thirteen taels!" the old man begged.
"If you don't have money, don't go in. This is the rule of the government. You can't even lose a penny. Do you like to go in?" The officers and soldiers guarding the gate looked at them with disdain, as if they were dirty after taking a look at them.
The nostrils were almost towards the sky...
There was no way, the rich people gritted their teeth and entered the city, while those who had no money could only sit outside the city gate waiting for a miracle.
Yao Chunlin also complained, "So too, girl is sick if she gets sick, and she even spends money to hire a doctor.
I have to hire someone to have a baby. It’s not the first time I have given birth. I’ll just give birth to my own family! What should I do now?"
Just because there were only three taels of silver left in the family, I spent more than two taels before escaping from the famine.
If the child is sick, please ask for a wife, and the family’s food expenses, etc.
Qin Xiaocui couldn't say that he had any pain. Since the war and drought, the price of grain has risen five times, and that little money can't be bought much for food.
