On the other hand, after climbing up the mountain, the man gave the scallions to his mother and asked her to assist him in making the white ginger scallion soup.
In a fit of rage, he found the woman hiding behind his in-laws.
He stepped forward and pulled her out of the Mother God Temple. He raised his hands and gave her two slaps, saying, “You bitch, how could you embarrass me? I just saved your child, and you turned around and stole from our benefactor. Are you still human?”
“What are you doing? What are you doing? How can you hit her?” The man’s father-in-law ran over and pulled them away.
“Ask her what she’s done. I’m too embarrassed even to say it.” The man pointed at the woman’s nose.
The father-in-law laughed. “Hey, I thought it was a big deal. It’s just a few handfuls of white potatoes, and they don’t lack them. Do you have to be so angry?”
Hearing this, the man thought of something and pulled the woman over again. He glanced at her empty pockets and said, “Where’re the white potatoes?”
“In the pot. It’s noon, so…” When his father-in-law was halfway through his sentence, the man snorted coldly. “You traitor. Since you’re so loyal to your family, then live with your family.”
He then turned around and returned to the Mother God Temple.
When the woman saw this, she hurriedly chased after him. “Darling, wait! Please don’t drive me away. My mother, really…”
“What about your son? Get lost.” The man pushed her away and walked into the small shed that they had built.
When the father-in-law saw this, he ignored her daughter and returned to his small shed.
The woman burst into tears, but no one paid her any attention.
In the end, she obediently returned to the man’s side. However, there was no food for her, so she could only starve.
After lunch, the man took an axe and climbed the mountain to chop firewood. He had to send two bundles of firewood to show his gratitude, regardless of whether they needed it.
He also wanted to see if there was any more ginger, which was indispensable in the winter.
At this time, in his father-in-law’s house, the old woman, who was also the man’s mother-in-law, said happily, “I didn’t expect these white potatoes to be so filling. There were only two handfuls, but we can drink a bowl of mush from it.”
“Of course. Otherwise, the Third Prince wouldn’t have offered such a high price to buy the seeds and send them to the south.” The father-in-law shook his head and continued, “Sigh, if I had known there was such a good thing, I would have come to the village in advance to take some. We wouldn’t have to survive on tree bark, leaves, and wild vegetable soup every day then.”
“Father, it’s not too late now. Each family in the village got quite a lot of them. Besides, the late-planted ones are still growing in the fields.” At this moment, their son walked over and whispered.
“No, there are not only patrols around the village but also soldiers. I’m afraid…” The father-in-law shook his head.
“What are you afraid of? Their patrol team is not always watching the foot of the mountain. When they leave, we can just rush over.”
“That’s right. We won’t steal from the villagers’ homes. We’ll just go to the fields and dig some. Otherwise, we won’t be able to hold on without solid food.” The mother-in-law added.
“Well…” The father-in-law hesitated for a moment before saying, “We’ll have to contact more people. Otherwise, we’ll be beaten to death if we’re caught.”
“I’ll get in touch with them. Actually, most people have the same idea. Otherwise, how are we going to survive the winter? ”
“Sure, but you must find someone reliable. Don’t let the news leak out.”
“Don’t worry; I’ll contact them now. We’ll take action tonight.”
In the evening, the man gave the firewood to Qian Shisan and asked Qian Shisan to help deliver it to the Gu family. He turned around and returned to the Mother God Temple.
Seeing his son looking around, he walked over and touched his head. “I didn’t expect it to really work. The fever sure did go down..”
