Chapter 146 In Groups
Widow Wang always felt a little unnatural when facing Chen Yanli, and she felt guilty towards Chen Yanli. Therefore, feeling guilty, she was unexpectedly pushed away by Chen Yanli and entered the house.
Widow Wang watched Chen Yanli walk straight into the main room. She could only close the gate and follow her inside.
Chen Yanli walked into the main room like a host and sat down directly on the chair.
She also knew that time was running out, and she had sneaked out and had to get back as soon as possible. She didn't want other people to know that she was here.
So she said bluntly: "I won't waste my words with you. You have mixed up with my family's Chengye. Do your in-laws know about it?"
When Widow Wang heard this, her face changed drastically.
[She knows. How did she know? What should I do? What should I do? ]
"You said that if your in-laws knew that you, an orphan and a widow, were on the road to escape famine..." Chen Yanli paused here. Widow Wang understood the meaning without her saying anything.
"No, don't tell anyone!"
Widow Wang quickly reacted, "You won't tell anyone. Once others know about it, Yun Chengye won't have an easy time, and he won't let you go!"
"Hehe~" After hearing this, Chen Yanli showed a sarcastic smile.
"I'm not afraid. If he finds out, I'll just get beaten up. As a man, he'll just get criticized. But you're different. No one's taking care of you. You're on the road, tut tut tut..."
Chen Yanli said as she looked at the child beside her, "How far do you think this child can walk?"
Widow Wang glanced at her son and knelt down in front of Chen Yanli. "I beg you, don't tell anyone. I won't get involved with Yun Chengye anymore. Please let us go!"
"I can let you go. There is nothing that money can't solve. Just give me the money, a hundred dollars and two kilograms of food, and I will pretend that I know nothing about it."
Chen Yanli originally wanted to ask for more food, but she knew that she was traveling with Wang Yulan and the others, and even if she got so much food, she would have nowhere to hide it!
In this case, it is better to take more money. Having money can solve many problems. Two kilograms of food is not much, and it will not be easily discovered if hidden in your bag.
"Where can I get one hundred dollars and two kilograms of food? How can we, an orphan and a widow, get so much money? Even if we sell both of us, we still can't get that much. Please, spare us!"
Widow Wang burst into tears and kept begging Chen Yanli for mercy.
"Are you embarrassed to cry like this? You should think about the consequences if you do such things. Besides, you also got a lot of money from my husband! I don't have time to whine with you here. If you don't agree, then I will go talk to your brother."
Chen Yanli stood up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Widow Wang suddenly panicked. If it were peacetime, she would have sued the defendant. She had plenty of money on her side, so the worst that could happen was she could just take her son and leave.
But now is the time to escape famine, and if the mother and son go on the road alone, without anyone to help, there is no telling how far they can go.
If the people in her husband's family knew about this, they would want to kill them, not only would they not be able to take care of them and their son on the road.
"and many more--"
She saw Chen Yanli had already walked to the gate of the courtyard and was about to leave, but the flustered Widow Wang immediately stopped her.
"Can you lower your conditions a bit? I can give you two kilograms of food, but I really can't afford 100 yuan. You know my situation. I'm an orphan and a widow. I only have more than 50 yuan on me. Can I give you yuan?"
After hearing this, Chen Yanli's eyes rolled. Her purpose was to make some money and food for herself so that she would have some security for the future.
This made Widow Wang very anxious. She couldn't get the money and food, and she had just said that she would tell others.
But she was just saying this to scare Widow Wang, she had no intention of telling anyone else.
But she didn't want to agree so easily and make things difficult for Widow Wang, so she thought for a while before speaking.
"50 yuan is 50 yuan, but I want 5 kilograms of food."
The two of them bargained as if they were buying vegetables in the market. In the end, Chen Yanli got 60 yuan and three kilograms of food, and then she left Widow Wang's house satisfied.
Widow Wang felt her heart bleed when she saw the money she had saved for so long was just given away like that.
But she has both plans, and she hides her money separately.
There were indeed only more than 50 yuan in the purse she took out just now, but she hid yuan in another purse.
Her entire net worth was only over 110 yuan, and it was reduced by half in just a short while.
She felt heartbroken for a while, then she cheered herself up.
Originally they didn't have much time left, and because of Chen Yanli's arrival they had wasted a lot of time. She had to hurry up and pack up the valuables and food in the house and take them away.
Chen Yanli returned to the old house, stuck her head out of the door and looked inside. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, she was delighted and rushed to her room as quickly as possible with her things in her hands.
Chen Yanli had just opened the door when Yun Jiaojiao walked out of her room. She saw her mother and looked suspicious.
Chen Yanli returned to the room and saw that Yun Chengye was not there. She relaxed her tense mood and quickly packed her luggage.
He divided the 50 silver dollars he had just obtained into several groups and hid them in different locations, and put the newly obtained food together with his bag.
The group followed the village chief onto the official road heading west.
Only a dozen or so households in Yunjia Village had carts. They placed their luggage on the carts and the family took turns pushing the carts forward. Most people carried their luggage on a shoulder pole to escape the famine.
Walking slowly along the official road, you can see many groups of people fleeing famine either individually or in large numbers.
After walking for several hours, it was getting dark and we hadn't walked very far.
It was dark and the road was difficult to walk on, so we had to stop and find a random place to rest for the night.
