Cheng Yuandong didn't know what was going on, "Dad"
"Take care. If your wife can't take care of her, you can take care of her. As a girl, you can't be too lazy." After Cheng Dazhu finished speaking, he didn't want to say more and waved his hand to let him go.
Cheng Yuandong looked at his wife who was helping, and then at his daughter who was playing in the water by herself. Suddenly he realized that it must have been his daughter's behavior that caught his father's attention.
Could it be that he was seen not working outside?
Cheng Yuandong thought like this, pretending to be wrong, and asked his questions when he was alone with his wife after dinner.
"Yueyue is coming with you, is she helping you with your work?"
Li Lianhua's face paused slightly, knowing that she couldn't hide this matter; there were too many people seeing her outside, and even if she didn't tell the truth, Cheng Yuandong would know sooner or later.
Cheng Yuandong's face darkened, "Didn't I tell you to let her do more?"
"She is still young." After all, she is her own child. She can hit or scold her when she is cruel. After that, she regrets it. She must love her daughter more and don't work if she doesn't work. The family is like this There were many people but she was the only one who worked.
"Why is she so young? She is eight years old, and she is only nine years old. We can discuss marriage in a few years. Why don't we teach her now and then wait until she becomes lazy? How will she survive when she goes to her husband's house in the future?"
Li Lianhua's expression also changed this time. The girl at home is definitely different from the girl who got married. The husband's family is not satisfied with the daughter-in-law, so she will have to suffer a lot. "I know, I will start working with her tomorrow."
Cheng Yuandong softened his expression and said, "Stop spoiling her. A girl of this age is still ignorant. Yiyi ran outside with her brother for a long time and didn't catch any game, but she brought wild vegetables back. What about her? Forget it if she doesn’t do any work, her family will have problems with her if she eats too much for free.”
It is not conducive to family harmony, and it is not conducive to Cheng Mingyue's good relationship with her family.
A daughter who gets married depends on her natal family, and a girl who has the support of her natal family will have a strong backing when she gets married. For girls who are not welcomed by their natal family, it cannot be said that all their husbands' families do not welcome them, but most of them will hold prejudices.
It doesn't matter if she is a daughter-in-law who can't be faulted, she will definitely have a solid footing in her husband's family; if she is as lazy, sharp-tongued, and dull-minded as her daughter, she will only be rubbed down.
"No, I won't spoil her anymore. Please supervise me." Knowing that she couldn't be cruel, Li Lianhua could only say this. At least there was someone watching next to her, and someone to remind her when she felt soft-hearted.
"OK."
Cheng Yuandong nodded in agreement.
This matter is over for now.
Early the next morning, everyone packed their bags and wild vegetables and went down the mountain to continue their journey.
The official road was not as crowded as before. Now it looked sparsely populated, and there were not a few people fleeing the famine before and after.
The clan leader and village chief were unsure, thinking that Cheng Yuanxi was the only child in the clan and Cheng Dazhu was also knowledgeable when he was young, so they came to discuss with their father and son.
"Dazhu, Yuan Xi, the official road is too quiet, something is wrong."
Cheng Dazhu frowned, why didn't he notice?
Cheng Yuanxi muttered: "Let the tribesmen step up and move forward quickly."
"What do you mean?" The patriarch and village chief's hearts sank.
"The official road is so cold, something must be wrong in the rear; I don't know what the situation is in front, so I have to hurry up and take a look ahead. It would be best if I can meet a crowd and ask about the situation."
After Cheng Yuanxi finished speaking, Cheng Dazhu nodded repeatedly, "What the third child said is what I want to say."
"Okay, I'll go gather the clan members."
The patriarch helped the village chief back to the team. The patriarch took out a small gong and said, "Dong dong dong. Come here, the head of each household."
"What happened again?"
"Looking at the clan leader's posture, something must be wrong."
The tribesmen were talking a lot, and the heads of each family had already walked out of the crowd and gathered towards the place where the patriarch was.
After everyone arrived, the clan leader spoke, "If something goes wrong on the road, go back and tell your family and follow your footsteps; if you encounter an official official, run first and spread out, and the men will run faster. If you encounter thieves and robbers, As refugees, men must protect the elderly, weak, women and children in the clan."
"I understand, clan leader, village chief."
"Well, tell your family to hurry up and don't stop."
The heads of each family went back and asked their family members to pack their bags and follow the footsteps of the tribesmen in front. No matter how tired they were on the road, they could not stop. This time it was even harder for them to walk without mules and donkeys.
There were children under the age of five and elderly people over the age of fifty at home, so it was difficult to walk. Fortunately, everyone knew the severity, and no matter how hard or tired they were, they didn’t stop.
After driving for two days, we finally saw the large army.
During this trip, apart from eating and sleeping at night, I kept walking during the day.
Cheng Mingli and Mingyi are young, so they don't feel too tired if they have time to work on their bodies. When walking, they can exercise their mental methods, and the physical fatigue will be reduced, so they can treat them as exercising their bodies and cultivating their mental methods.
Chen Daya's sisters-in-law, Cheng Mingyue, and Luo Cuihua were women, and they walked too fast, making it difficult for them to walk.
Especially Cheng Mingyue.
On the evening of the third day, seeing the large army, the clan leader and village chief felt their hearts go cold.
Anyone with a bit of discernment will have a cold heart.
The target was a group of old, weak, sick, disabled, orphans and children, not even an adult man.
Cheng Yuanxi and others felt particularly heavy. They looked back at the men and families who had escaped from other villages who had followed them down. They didn't know what to say. These people were really lucky.
When the people who came after the Cheng family saw this scene, they were happy and secretly found the clan leader and village chief; they discussed merging into the Cheng family. From this time on, the Cheng family's behavior Come and see.
They can find food and be able to detect danger immediately when it comes, which shows that there are capable people in their clan, and it is not wrong to follow a clan with capable people.
The clan leader discussed it with the village chief and did not accept it.
"Everyone is in a difficult situation. There are many women and children in the clan who need to be taken care of, so we can no longer accept you. However, you can follow us and we will not drive you away."
On the way to escape, for the safety of the clan members, some clans and villagers would actually choose to drive away strangers, even people with foreign surnames, who approached them.
There are too many dangers on the road, and strangers also mean danger.
For the safety of the tribe and the safety of the family, I had to choose this method to protect the family.
"We really have no time to take care of him, so I can't help but feel sorry for you all." The clan leader stood up and apologized.
The people who came to seek asylum did not get the answers they wanted and did not want to leave. "We just want to join your team and have no other ideas. Isn't this okay?"
"We are also men, and besides, isn't it okay if there are many men in our family?" A group of seven or eight men stood up and asked.
The clan leader shook his head, still apologetically refusing, "Our team is all from the same clan. Look, there are more children and elderly people than adult men. I really can't accept other people into the team. You can go if you want. Ask ahead, those teams are in great need of men."
