Chapter 706: Escape from Famine 11
"Mom, why are you still sitting down?"

After carrying his youngest son onto the cart, Geng Dalin was about to drag the cart away when he looked back and saw his mother sitting down.

Geng Dalin said anxiously, "Mom, everyone in the village has left, so we should leave too. There are wolves on this mountain. If we walk too slowly, we will be caught by the wolves and it will be dangerous."

"I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

Yuanchun said calmly.

She looked at Du Jincui and Geng Dazhuang and said, "Eldest brother, eldest brother's wife, from now on, I don't plan to flee famine with the villagers. If you want to follow the main group, then you two can follow. The second brother and I will take our five children back to the village. I would rather starve to death at home than outside."

"Mom, aren't we following the village chief and the villagers?" Sun Chunfeng, who was holding her twin daughters in each hand, looked at her mother-in-law in surprise.

Yuanchun pretended to be exhausted and sighed, "We have been walking for three days, and we can't find any wild vegetables or even a leaf to eat. We only found a teacup of water today. If we continue walking like this, we will either starve to death or die of exhaustion. I don't want to die outside at my age. I want to be buried with your father after I die. Don't let me die outside. I won't be able to find your father in the underworld."

Geng Dalin was a very filial and obedient boy. When he heard his mother's words, he quickly said, "Mom, let's go back to the village. If we are going to die, let's die together."

"Pfft, don't say such unlucky words. Mom is old and in poor health. She may not be able to survive this disaster. My second son, you are still young. You must be strong and survive. There are five children in the family who depend on you to support them. You must live well even for the sake of the five children."

"Mom, you will be fine. You will live a long life." Geng Dalin said with red eyes and choked.

Sun Chunfeng's eyes also turned red and he shed tears silently.

Du Jincui, with a pig-like face, looked at the few people in disbelief, "If you want to go home, then you go back. Dazhuang and I are going to escape the famine. Xiaowu and Xiaoyu must go with us. My children cannot go back." There was no food at home, and there was no food to be found in the village or outside the village. Going back would mean death. She only had a pair of children, and she couldn't let her daughter go back with her mother-in-law and brother-in-law's family to wait for death.

However, Yuanchun ignored her.

Yuanchun is the old lady who is the head of the Geng family, and Yuanchun has the final say.

Seeing that the villagers had gone far away, but Yuanchun's family was sitting aside without moving, Du Jincui became anxious, "Mother, are you really not leaving? Do you really want to go back to the village and wait to die?"

Geng Dazhuang also said anxiously, "Mom, there is nothing to eat in the village. If we go back, we will die. Let's escape the famine. Maybe we can find food and survive. Mom, let's go."

"I won't leave. I don't want to die outside." Yuanchun looked at the pair of beasts. "I know what you are thinking. Aren't you just afraid that I will take away all the chaff? Don't worry, I will give you what you deserve, but I must take Xiaowu and Xiaoyu away."

Yuanchun took a small bag of bran, found a small cloth bag, poured out half of it, and handed it to Geng Dazhuang, "The food is all here. I'll give you two half, and the remaining half will be enough for the eight of us. We can last as long as we can."

Du Jincui wanted to take all the bran away, but no matter how much she thought about it, the old hag would definitely not agree, and neither would Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng.

What's more, she is now afraid of being beaten.

She didn't dare.
