Chapter 160 The Father Who Sells His Son and Daughter II

Qin's real hard life was when her daughter was one year old, and she finally became pregnant again under the few moves of her husband.

Father Yao is very happy. In order to supplement nutrition for his daughter-in-law, he is over 60 years old, and he still wants to go up the mountain to find something to eat for her.

As a result, he accidentally slipped down the mountain and fell to his death...

Both the couple fell to their deaths, and the villagers said that Yao Chunlin was lazy, and even God couldn't stand it, so he punished him.

Such remarks did not even reach Yao Chunlin's ears...

Because he doesn't go out... Qin Xiaocui doesn't like to gossip, she goes out to work every day when she is pregnant, and rushes home to cook on the way.

After serving the husband and feeding the daughter, he put the daughter next to Yuan and hurried back to the field.

…………

In this way, although it is a family of three, she is the only one who is working hard to support the family.

Not long after, the government came to conscript people for military service, which frightened Yuan Shen enough.

In order not to serve in the military, he finally got out of bed, went to his parents' house to rummage through boxes and chests, and found the family's deposit of three taels of silver, and sold the remaining two acres of land to collect enough ten taels of silver to hand it over.

The fields at home were gone, and Qin Xiaocui felt ashamed.

But it is even worse to let the husband go to the battlefield to die, so the field still has to be sold.

After paying the remaining two taels of silver from his military service, Yao Chunlin handed it to the Qin family with a big wave of his hand, and said: "Go buy meat, bring back some wine, and keep the rest for your mother-in-law."

The fields are gone, but life is still alive.

Qin Xiaocui cheered up and diligently went up the mountain to find food, collect firewood to sell, and help others harvest wheat for five cents a day in the autumn harvest.

Then I kept chickens, caught worms to feed them, and laid eggs, but I didn't want to eat any of them, so I sold them all.

In this way, after earning some money, I went to other people's homes to order some noodles and go home to make wild vegetable paste, and I could still hold on to my life.

It wasn't until five months after the son was born that the second military service came again.

This time, Yao Chunlin sold the house and homestead!Got 12 taels.

Still pay ten taels, and the remaining twenty taels will be used as food expenses for the Qin family.

They moved to live in the abandoned thatched hut on the mountain to watch the orchard. They never expected that they moved to the mountain, allowing Yao Chunlin to escape the night of forced recruitment.

…………

Another year later, the third military service came.

In the middle of the night, the vigilant Qin family heard the crying of the village down the mountain.

Panicked, she quickly got up and went out, approaching the village in the dark to eavesdrop, not even daring to hold a torch!

"My lord! The two sons of my family have been confiscated in the past two times. This is the only male in our family. I beg you to let him go!" Third Aunt Yao knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

But the officers and soldiers who were begged were not moved at all, and said coldly: "Search the house and see if there are any strong men."

"As ordered!"

The officers and soldiers rushed in, and even went straight to the boudoir of the third aunt Yao's youngest daughter, scaring Yao Xiaomei and screaming and running out.

Then there are all kinds of smashing sounds...

"Boss, there is no strong man in this family, only a 60-year-old man."

The leading man in headhunting clothes nodded indifferently, "The next one."

Aunt Yao was directly kicked away by the men, and was threatened by the officers and soldiers with sabers not to shout anymore.

At the entrance of the village and every intersection, there are officers and soldiers guarding them.

Qin Xiaocui was so frightened that her face turned pale, she quickly and gently retreated to the mountain road, and ran back to the small wooden house where the air was leaking.

With tears in her eyes, she bit her lips tightly, shook Yao Chunlin's body with her hands, and shouted: "The head of the house, wake up! The head of the house."

"Bitch, are you tired of working? It's the middle of the night, what are you calling me for?" Yao Chunlin scolded angrily.

"Master, stop shouting! Don't recruit officers and soldiers. Many officers and soldiers have come down from the mountain. They are recruiting strong men to fill the barracks! Master, let's run!" Qin Xiaocui begged with tears all over her face.

She can't live without her husband, and it's even more difficult for orphans and widows to live in this kind of age!
Yao Chunlin listened carefully, and sure enough there were many chaotic voices down the mountain!He turned pale with fright, got up quickly, put on his shoes and wanted to run.

"Master, wait for us! You haven't got your things yet!"

Qin Xiaocui anxiously carried her one-and-a-half-year-old son on her chest, and held her four-year-old daughter Wake in her hands. She also packed clothes, household registration, money, and other things, and packed them in the package.

Yao Chunlin, who originally planned to run away regardless, thought that his daughter-in-law was bought for three taels of silver, so if she ran away, she would lose money!

So he stopped and waited for Qin Xiaocui to catch up before walking quickly towards the mountain road.

.........

The two didn't know the way, so they ran around the mountain road in the dark to the foot of the other side of the mountain, only to run into someone who had escaped from the next village.

So the two were overjoyed and hurried to follow!
Disgusted by Yao Daya's slow walk, Yao Chunlin picked her up and quickly followed her.

This is also the first time that Yao Daya has been hugged by her father since she was four years old!
The family of four walked with that group of people for the rest of the journey. They were all from ten miles and eight villages, so they were familiar with each other.

They've been going east.

In that direction is the most powerful country on the mainland, Donglin Country.

Because they were afraid of meeting people from the government, they could only walk through the mountains.

The mountains are dangerous, but there are so many of them, and they only walk around the periphery, so they can still eat some wild fruits at first.

Then the drought got worse and they started eating grass, bark, and roots.

The further you go, the greater the contradictions among the people, and the teams start to quarrel and fight!

Finally, everyone couldn't take it anymore and decided to go to the city to see what was going on!
It took them a month to get out of the mountains and come to the nearest city.

…………

Outside the city gate, many fleeing people were already waiting, and they sat on the ground numbly in a daze.

Some escaped military service, some escaped food taxes, and others escaped drought and famine.

In short, everyone is ragged and stinky.

The people in the team walked to the gate of the city and wanted to enter the city, but were stopped by the officers and soldiers, "Stop! One tael per person is the entrance fee."

"What? One person, one pair??"

"My God! Why don't you go grab it?"

"God! Open your eyes, we can't live anymore!!"

"Can you have less, sir? There are thirteen people in our family, how can we get thirteen taels!" the old man begged.

"Don't go in if you don't have money. This is the rule of the government. You can't go without a penny. Whether you like it or not." The officers and soldiers guarding the gate looked at them with disgust, as if they would dirty their eyes just by looking at them.

The nostrils are going up to the sky...

There is no way, the rich people gritted their teeth and entered the city, while those who have no money can only sit outside the city gate and wait for a miracle.

Yao Chunlin was also complaining, "You too, the little girl got sick when she got sick, and spent money to hire a doctor.

You have to hire someone to give birth to a baby, and it's not the first time to give birth, so it's over if you leave it at home!What should we do now? "

Just because there was only three taels of silver left in the family, more than two taels were spent before fleeing famine.

If the child is sick, please take care of the mother-in-law, food expenses at home, etc.

Qin Xiaocui couldn't tell how hard she was. Since the war and drought, the price of food has increased five times. With that little money, she can't buy much food.
