Chapter 42 Are other places also suffering from drought?

"Ouch! It hurts! Ooooh! Grandma, she hit me! You fool, she dared to hit me!"

Goudan'er cried loudly in pain.

The Qiao family were furious when they heard that this little fat man dared to call Qiao Ran a fool.

"Don't call me eldest sister!"

Qiao Xi put down the soup bowl, lowered her head like a calf and hit Goudan'er, knocking Goudan'er, who was much stronger than herself, to the ground.

Qiao Dong, Qiao Nan, Qiao Bei and Qiao Xing Qiao Yue all put down their bowls and chopsticks and surrounded Goudan'er, glaring at him angrily.

Qiao Yue also raised her little feet and stepped on the back of Goudan'er's hand.

The pain was so painful that he screamed again and cried loudly: "Grandma! Grandma! They beat me! They all bullied me, wuwuwu..."

Huang just got up from the ground and rubbed her old waist, grinning in pain.

The bump her eldest grandson had just made was not a light one. She was knocked to the ground unprepared, her waist slipped, her arm was hurt, and the big bowl she was holding almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she still remembered that now I had no money to buy a bowl, so I held on tightly to the bowl without throwing it away.

As soon as she got up, she heard her eldest grandson crying so loudly that her old sweetheart cried so much that it almost hurt to death!

"Grandma's good grandson, don't cry, don't cry, don't make yourself sick by crying. Who dares to beat my grandson? Let's see if my old lady doesn't beat him to death!"

The Qiao Dewang family also ran over quickly, and the movement here also alerted the villagers who were eating. Everyone gathered around with their rice bowls to see what the Qiao Dewang family was going to do.

When Xiao Huang saw her precious son sitting on the ground crying miserably, she rushed towards him and coaxed her heartily.

When things got to this point, Qiao Dewang had no choice but to speak.

"Sister-in-law, we are a family after all. Goudan'er just wants to take a sip of your chicken soup. Even if you don't give it to him, why are you still beating him? If you tell me this, I won't be afraid of people laughing at you for being stingy."

Mrs. Qiao sneered: "Which of your eyes saw me beating someone? I have been sitting here eating properly without touching a finger of your family. Your dog Dan wants to drink soup, don't you? Do you know how to go into the mountains to hunt pheasants and hares? My family owes you a debt? You have been thinking about coming to my house to hunt in the autumn breeze all day long, how generous of you!"

Qiao Dewang's face turned red and white when she said it: "Sister-in-law, why do you have to say it so harshly?"

Mrs. Huang felt sorry for her little grandson and cursed angrily: "What a starving family that hasn't seen meat for hundreds of years! Will you die if you eat less? My dog ​​Dan'er was injured by you, you have to pay for it! Me too If I don’t care about you so much, just use this pot of chicken soup to replenish his body!”

With that said, Mrs. Huang reached out to hold the pottery pot.

Before her hand even touched the pot, a chicken bone hit her wrist.

Huang immediately felt numbness in the wrist of her right hand, and her palm became limp and weak.

"Who? Who hit me?"

Huang held his right hand in his left hand and looked around in fear.

She looked at the faces of Dafang's family, but she only saw disgust and anger on their faces, without the slightest expression of guilt.

Then she looked at the villagers who were watching. Everyone was gloating about her misfortune, and some even looked at her with disdain.

Finally, she set her sights on Qiao Ran.

This stinky girl is very weird these days, it must be this stinky girl’s fault!

"Ran Yatou, did you hit me? You uneducated wild girl! Pay for my hand! Pay for my grandson's hand!"

Qiao Ran sneered: "Which of your eyes saw me hitting you?"

"It's you! Don't pretend to be a fool, I saw with my own eyes your hand that beats the dog!"

"Who asked him to come and rob my chicken soup? Even a starving ghost would never be as greedy as him even after he was reincarnated!"

"you……"

"What are you arguing about again? Qiao Dewang, Huang, why can't you calm down for a while? Do you have to let me drive you out of Qingshui Village to make you happy?"

The old village chief had to put down his bowl and chopsticks and rush over before he even finished his meal. When he saw Qiao Dewang and his wife, he became extremely upset.

These two troublemakers would really make trouble for him!

"Village chief, you are the one to judge. My little dog just wanted a sip of chicken soup, but not only did they refuse to give it to him, they even beat him. It's really too much!"

Huang didn't think she was at fault, and angrily put her right hand that couldn't move and the red back of Goudan'er's hand in front of the old village chief to show him.

The old village chief frowned: "People are eating well on their own land, and you come over and grab their soup pots. Who else will I hit if I don't beat you? Okay, okay! With so many people watching, it's not embarrassing!" Go back to eat quickly and rest early after eating. You have to get up early tomorrow and rush on your way! If you don’t want to follow us, you can leave the team now and do whatever you want outside!"

Mrs. Huang didn't expect that the old village chief would just drive them back without helping them get justice, and she felt very angry in her heart.

But Qiao Dewang wanted to lose face. There were not only his fellow villagers from Qingshui Village around, but also people from other villages. He couldn't afford to lose this person.

If they were really kicked out by the old village chief, the people in the other three villages would definitely not take them in.

Holding back his anger, Qiao Dewang picked up his mother-in-law and walked back to his home.

Seeing that her parents-in-law had left, Xiao Huang didn't want to bother her any more, so she quickly held her son's injured hand and led her son back to her home in despair.

The farce ended just like that, but the onlookers were still reluctant to leave.

As they got closer, the smell of Qiao's mushroom and chicken soup became even stronger, blowing into their noses with the evening breeze.

Everyone held the bowls in their hands and quickly finished the rice in the bowls due to the aroma, then reluctantly walked back to their campsites.

Goudan'er didn't drink the chicken soup, one of his hands was red from being knocked with chopsticks, the other was red from being stepped on by Qiao Yue, and his lower back was hurt by Qiao Xi's bump.

He made quite a fuss, and the whole family came together to take out all the good things from the bottom of the box, and finally managed to coax him to peace.

However, Mrs. Huang had no one to coax her, and she was so frustrated that she died.

She didn't get the chicken soup, and was knocked down by her precious grandson. She still couldn't use her right wrist. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed for a long time. She cursed Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Ran in her dreams.

People from the four villages walked together, so there was strength in numbers, and they also used the method suggested by Qiao Ran when they rested at night.

Even when driving during the day, the old, weak, sick and disabled were allowed to walk in the middle, with men in front and behind responsible for opening the road and breaking up the rear.

Under tight defense during the day and night, it was a relatively safe journey.

The refugees saw that their team was large and seemed very united, so they didn't dare to take any action against them.

They are getting closer to their destination, Yunzhou.

However, Qiao Ran discovered that there were obviously more and more refugees on the road, and they seemed to be joining the road from other directions.

Are other places also suffering from drought?
