After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 197 Share Weal and woe
The heavy rain outside fell heavily, hitting the roof of the thatched greenhouse with a dull sound.

Under the thatched hut, most of the prisoners and officials on the exile road gathered here, crowded together under the thatched hut. On the contrary, the originally extra spacious thatched hut seemed a bit crowded, but it also showed a little warmth.

Mu Zhengbai was squeezed into a corner by the prisoners, with an unhappy look on his face, and a few curse words in his mouth. His voice was mixed in the noisy voices, and no one paid attention to what he said.

All of them huddled together, and with the sound of rain falling outside, they couldn't help but talk about the many difficulties of this journey to exile.

Not only was the journey difficult and dangerous, but the soles of their feet were worn out. After finally getting on a boat, there was a fire and an attack by men in black, and they had to jump into the water to survive.They finally made it to the south. Heavy rains continued, and a sudden mudslide took the lives of many people. But to reach this place of exile, the journey was really hard and difficult.

Speaking of the mudslide that separated their loved ones, many prisoners covered their faces and sobbed. Thinking of their relatives who died in the mountains and fields and in the mudslide, most of them did not even see the whole body.

Suddenly, there were choking sounds among the prisoners, which were mixed with the sound of rain outside, which seemed particularly emotional.

Not only the prisoners, but also a young official died in that mudslide. To this day, Li Jiang can't let go of his decision to move forward at that time, and remains silent, surrounded by a dull atmosphere.

"It's okay, it's all okay. Let's live a good life in Yuecheng and support each other. We can always live a good life."

"That's right! After all the hardships, there are blessings. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later! Everyone should live a good life and share weal and woe."

"Isn't the Mu family sharing we're going through thick and thin with us!? Without this thatched greenhouse, we wouldn't have bothered to grieve here while we were all busy hiding from the rain!"

Under the sound of rain, a few prisoners with a good attitude began to encourage everyone, and the atmosphere relaxed slightly for a while.

As if they were on the road to exile, they found a place to lie down and rest for the night to survive the heavy rain outside.

The next day, when the sun came out and the sky cleared, all the prisoners left and went back to their homesteads. They took the time to build a small shelter from the rain.

It rains a lot in the south, and they have already experienced this during this period. They have to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain for the family.

Fortunately, Yuecheng is quite accommodating and allows a total of ten days of rest for the new prisoners to build houses and stabilize before sending laborers to serve.

Ten days are enough for the family to build a simple shelter. In the remaining time, they can go to the mountains to collect some wild products. If they are lucky, they can also find valuable things to sell to the grocery store in the village. If not, they can You can keep valuable things for yourself.

Some prisoners' families have almost lost their labor force or their children are still young. They only need to build a straw shed to shelter from the wind and rain and sleep peacefully. They try to spare as much time as possible to go to the mountains to collect for the next day. Stock up on some food or some broken silver every day, otherwise life will be really difficult.

This group of official servants stayed at Mu's house to help as always, and Ruan He also packed up everyone and prepared food.

Just when they sat down to rest after lunch, Ruan He vaguely realized something was wrong.

There were several people missing from the lunch just now...

Not to mention that Mu Zhengbai, who was usually very active in eating, was nowhere to be seen, and Zhang and his daughter were also nowhere to be seen... As long as these three people did not go out to cause trouble, Ruan He didn't care whether they lived or died.

But not only were these three people missing, but Aunt Zong, who was usually busy quietly, could not be seen.

Ruan He's heart skipped a beat and his brows furrowed slightly. For fear of something happening, he hurriedly walked into the half-built house.

In the half-built house, Mrs. Mutai was sitting on a chair in the corner, holding Mu Yuanyuan in her arms, with a kind smile on her face and talking.

The juniors were building houses, and she couldn't help much because of her age. She could only help take care of the children.

Seeing Mu Yuanyuan still playing in Mrs. Mu's arms, Ruan He breathed a sigh of relief.

I think Aunt Zong must be busy with something, otherwise she would have left her own child behind and gone to who knows where.

As for where Mu Zhengbai's family of three went, Ruan He didn't care at all and continued to do his own thing. Anyway, it would be just fine if they died outside.

Ruan He was busy all afternoon. He went to the village and took some scraps of silver to exchange for brown rice with Uncle Huangfu. There was no need to make a special trip to the main city.

However, the quality of this brown rice is not good. After all, people in the village make do with eating and drinking on weekdays. They only save a little bit of the yellowed brown rice and use it to worship the gods during festivals. At other times, they only eat other things. Rough food.

After all, it was brown rice, and the portion was plenty. Ruan He thought that tonight would be enough for everyone to have a serious meal of rice together.

Just as Ruan He poured the rice into the pot and started the fire, a burst of triumphant voices came from outside, and it was Mu Zhengbai's greasy and hoarse voice.

Mu Zhengbai swaggered into the thatched shed, found a place to sit down, and saw Ruan He cooking something, and even came forward to see what was in the pot.

"Where have you been? There is so much work at home and you don't help." Ruan He glanced at him coldly and asked back in a bad tone, as if he was treating him as a cancer.

Mu Zhengbai sneered, and now he showed off his elders' airs again, saying proudly: "You, a junior, still have to take care of where I go!"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Ruan He couldn't help but get angry. He held the fire stick stained with firewood ash in his hand, raised it, and hit him hard several times without politeness.

The fire stick was already heavy, and Ruan He's strength was not restrained at all. When it was hit, there was an unbearable pain.

Mu Zhengbai's face suddenly turned livid, he stared fiercely, screamed in pain, and swore a dirty word in his mouth.

Letting a junior and a woman beat him for nothing, especially in front of so many people, Mu Zhengbai could hardly keep the anger on his face. He raised his hand, planning to fight back and teach his wife a lesson!

We can't let him lose any status in this family!
