Chapter 40

Speaking of the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Tuesday went back. Zhou Dajun and Zhou Xiaojun saw that the two wives only took a few radishes, and their faces collapsed.

"Just take this? How is it enough?"

"The head of the family, the Gu family's food is almost gone, just these radishes." Seeing Zhou Dajun's anger, Mrs. Zhou was a little scared and said in a low voice.

"That damn old woman must have food, Chunxiu said, the cart is still full."

"But if she doesn't give it, we can't grab her. Fortunately, these radishes are enough for us to last for two days."

"You know what a fart, do you think the snow disaster will be over in two days?"

When the other people heard what Boss Zhou said, their faces changed. If the snowstorm is not over, what will they do in the coming days?
Looking at the children shivering from the cold, they all looked melancholy.

"Brother, what should we do? It's not a solution for us to stay here all the time. Otherwise, let's go too."

"If you want to go, you have to bring food. Otherwise, there is such a heavy snow, and you have nothing to eat and nothing to wear on the road. You will only be frozen to death."

"But it's all covered by snow, where can we find food?"

"Go and call Chunxiu."

Zhou Xiaojun nodded, and after walking a few steps, Zhou Dajun reminded him again.

"Don't let the Gu family see."

After a while, Zhou Chunxiu followed Zhou Xiaojun, rubbing his hands as he walked.

Inside this post station, it is really not as warm as the shed at home, and it is ventilated everywhere.

"Brother, what do you want from me?"

"Chunxiu, we are running out of food here, and you just watch your nephew and niece starve to death?"

"Brother, it's not that my mother-in-law gave you radishes, it's not that I don't help you, our family doesn't have much left."

"Stop talking nonsense, and I don't want too much. Your family's food will be divided equally between our two families. After this difficult time is over, the eldest brother will compensate you."

Zhou Dajun was angry, but Zhou Chunxiu was actually afraid. Her big brother became ruthless, but even his parents and father would beat him up.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help, but that my mother-in-law manages my family's food, and I can't get it at all."

Zhou Dajun's eyes drooped after hearing this: "If you can't get it, you won't think of a way?"

Zhou Chunxiu went back to the shed with a lot of worries, Gu Laoer saw that her shoulders were covered with snowflakes, he couldn't help feeling very distressed.

"It's so cold, what are you doing outside?"

"I just went to make it easier." Zhou Chunxiu pulled Gu Laoer outside again and said softly.

"Second brother, my eldest brother and the others are leaving."

"It's snowing so much, let's go?"

Zhou Chunxiu nodded.

"Let's just go."

Zhou Chunxiu clenched his lips and hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Shall we go with them?"

Gu Laoer looked at Zhou Chunxiu like a monster.

"Come on, your two older brothers are out of food, shall we follow them and wait to starve to death?"

What Gu Lao Er said was the truth, Zhou Chunxiu explained dryly: "My sister-in-law's family is not far away, and they will have food soon."

"That has nothing to do with us, Tie Danniang, I warn you, don't be confused, I have come to understand this way, follow our mother, have food and shelter."

After finishing speaking, Gu Er Er ignored Zhou Chunxiu and went into the shed to warm up the fire.

In the middle of the night, the blizzard was a little lighter. Li Wei had seen the weather forecast, and it would turn into light snow tomorrow afternoon, and they could go on the road by then.

The fire in the shed was burning, everyone was sleeping soundly next to each other, and the boys were snoring loudly. .

Zhou Chunxiu was a pregnant woman, so she put haystacks in the corner and cotton wool, and then covered her with a new quilt, so she didn't feel cold at all.

She had slept well the previous nights, but tonight she had trouble sleeping.

Until cats meowed outside.

"Second, Second"

Zhou Chunxiu called twice, but no one responded.

Looking at Li Wei next to him, he was already fast asleep.

Zhou Chunxiu got up slowly, went to the cart beside him, and opened the basket for grain.

I saw a large bag of polished rice, a large bag of flour, and some meat and eggs inside.

These allowances are enough for everyone to eat for half a month. After half a month, no matter what, we will all be in Tongchuan.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Chunxiu poured out half of the polished rice without any psychological burden.

Then secretly took it out and gave it to Zhou Dajun.

Zhou Dajun took a look and was dissatisfied with only half the bag.

"Just like that?"

Zhou Chunxiu was about to cry out of anger.

"Brother, you should eat sparingly on this point, and you will be fine if you eat for ten days."

Zhou Dajun weighed it.

"Do you have any silver on you?"

Zhou Chunxiu didn't expect that her good brother would pay attention to money, so she quit immediately.

"Brother, where did I get the money?"

"You don't have money, so does the old woman have no money?"

"She has silver, and I dare not steal it. If you are found out, you don't want to take this rice."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Chunxiu turned around and went into the shed. She regretted it very much. She thought her natal family was relying on her, but she knew it was a moth.

Looking at Zhou Chunxiu's back, Zhou Dajun's eyes lit up, and he just wanted to get rid of himself.

At this time, Zhou Xiaojun was leading the ox cart and had already packed his luggage and was ready to go. Zhou Dajun put the rice given by Zhou Chunxiu on the ox cart, and then walked towards Gu's shed.

Zhou Dajun could tell that the snow disaster would not stop for a while, and all the villages in Shima Town might be affected.

Therefore, whoever has food at this time is the boss.

The Gu family obviously had food, how could he just leave like this.

It just so happened that there were not many people at the post station, and it was snowing and it was midnight, so no one would pay attention to his sneakiness.

Quietly opened the shed, Gu Boss who was guarding the door was sound asleep.

Zhou Dajun took out the chimney and blew a puff of smoke into it. After a while, the Gu family fell asleep more soundly.

Zhou Dajun swaggered in.

"Warning, warning, a stranger broke in."

Li Wei, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the voice of the little cute baby. This is an alarm system she specially set up. When everyone is sleeping soundly, strangers will be reminded in time when they enter.

Li Wei opened her eyes, feeling limp all over, and saw the things on Zhou Dajun's overturned scooter.

After a while, Zhou Xiaojun also came in, and the two of them removed all the food in the basket.

Not only that, but also took away all the quilts covering them.

Li Wei was in a hurry, but she couldn't stop it. She used all her strength to get a medicine for smoking in the system.

Resisting the feeling of powerlessness, he took the medicine, and after about half an hour, the medicine took effect.

Li Wei quickly woke up everyone, and then gave everyone medicine.

But at this time, the Zhou family had already left in an ox cart.

In an instant, all the food and quilts were stolen, and the Gu family was completely stunned.

"Mother, what's going on? Where's our food? Where's our quilt?"

Boss Gu's voice is about to cry, there is no food and no quilt, so it means that there is no way to survive.

Li Wei didn't expect that Zhou's family was such a bad person, they came to borrow food during the day, and she kindly gave some radishes, but at night, they came directly and stole everything.

No grain or better quilt was left behind.

"Who did it, I'm going to kill him."

Gu Lao Si jumped up and was about to run outside.

"Okay, come back and sit down for me."

"Second brother, do you know what's going on?"

Li Wei looked at Zhou Chunxiu, Zhou Chunxiu panicked for a while, it couldn't be her elder brother, she hurriedly shook her head and said.

"I do not know."

"You don't know, let me tell you that your eldest brother stunned us with smoke, and then moved away the food and quilts with your second brother."

When they heard that it was the Zhou family who did it, the Gu family looked at Zhou Chunxiu as if they wanted to eat people, and even Gu's second child had an ugly expression on his face.

"impossible."

Zhou Chunxiu shook his head.

"Mom, my elder brother wouldn't do that."

"I saw it with my own eyes. Could it be wrong?"

"But mother, you said that everyone was stunned, how could you see it."

"I was limp and weak at the time, but my consciousness was still clear, so I could see clearly what they did."

"It's all your fault, it's all over now, we're all going to starve to death and freeze to death." Gu Laosi pointed at Zhou Chunxiu's nose and cursed.

"No, no." Zhou Chunxiu was also confused, she didn't expect her elder brother and the others to be so ruthless, and she was more worried about what to do in the future when the Gu family ran out of food.

"Tie Danniang, you said that your elder brother and the others are leaving, but it could not be that they have planned to steal our things and leave."

Gu Lao Er glared at Zhou Chunxiu and said bitterly.

Zhou Chunxiu shook his head: "No, my elder brother and the others just thought there would be no way out here, so they decided to leave."

"Do you also know your elder brother's plan?"

Gu Lao Er yelled at Zhou Chunxiu, if Zhou Dajun and Zhou Xiaojun really stole the things, he didn't believe that his wife wouldn't know anything, and even if she didn't know, she would be suspicious, but she didn't say anything.

Thinking of this, Gu Lao Er complained to Zhou Chunxiu. He was very selfish, but the behavior of the Zhou family hurt himself, so he naturally couldn't forgive him easily.

Zhou Chunxiu, who had never seen Gu Laoer like this before, was also afraid.

"I don't have it, the head of the family, really, I want to eat these grains too, I want to know how it is possible not to tell everyone."

Zhou Chunxiu cried bitterly, she is really cruel to her brother now, she is trying to drive herself to death.

"Mom, I'll go after it and bring it back."

Gu Lao Er's eyes were red, and it was his brother-in-law who stole the things, so he could hardly absolve himself of the blame for this matter.

"Chasing, how do you chase?" It's not that Li Wei looks down on Gu Lao Er, but that he drives a bullock cart, and he really doesn't have the ability to rely on his legs.

"I, I." I thought for a long time, thinking that there was nothing left, Gu Laoer squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and dejected.

Li Wei was very speechless. When a big man encounters difficulties, he hugs his head and squats on the ground, too much like a number in a prison.
