The whole family stocked up on supplies two years in advance, so they could live a life of luxury wh

"What's up?"

Li Fusheng's arm was still in a sling. Looking at his daughter's serious expression, he had a bad feeling.

After considering it for a moment, Xing'er said:

"Father, our ancestor appeared to me in a dream last night, saying that a natural disaster is coming and the price of food will rise. He told us to hurry up and buy food to stock up, otherwise the price of food will rise to the point that we won't be able to afford it."

As she spoke, she recalled her experience of entering the space yesterday.

It turns out that it was because she did a good deed and saved about twenty people that her space was upgraded and she could foresee crises in advance.

Upon hearing this, Li Fusheng cautiously asked:

"A natural disaster?"

"Where would we risk natural disasters?"

"Could this be a place we live in?"

Xing'er's eyes darted around, and after glancing outside, she continued:

"It's not just here. In the neighboring Qiupu Township, it's been raining for a month straight. Our ancestors said that the Qiupu River was going to flood, and the mountains there would collapse. Many families have been flooded."

The water will even reach the city.

"Food will become very expensive then."

"It will get very cold."

"You mean we should go to town now and buy some food?"

"Chop more firewood?"

Xing'er nodded.

"Tomorrow, Master Lu will be exiled. I'll go see him off and buy some grain while I'm at it."

Li Fusheng remained silent for a long time after hearing this, then said to his daughter:

"You and your father should know about this. Don't tell your mother. I'm afraid she'll worry. Anyway, our house is all built now, and your older brother and younger brother are in the fields. You can do whatever you want."

"Your father fully supports you."

"Just remember this: don't tell anyone else, no matter who it is."

"Don't worry, Father, I know."

Xing'er looked at her father's arm again. It didn't hurt anymore, but he still needed to rest.

After talking for a while, the father and daughter went out of the kitchen and into the main room together.

Li Fusheng looked at his family and coughed, saying:

"This child is the son of a distant relative of mine. His family has fallen on hard times and now he has no choice but to come to us. Moreover, the child's brain has been damaged in an accident, so don't listen to any nonsense he says."

"At the same time, none of you are allowed to bully him."

"Big Mountain, Little Mountain, Yu Mountain, Orchid, can you hear what your father said?"

"Yes, Father."

"Don't worry, in that case, he's like our cousin, and we won't bully him."

Li Yushan looked curiously at his chubby distant cousin sitting on the ground.

Lu Chengfeng understood what had happened on the way. His small eyes filled with tears. He never expected that his family's property would be confiscated and that he would have to say goodbye to roast goose forever.

Thinking about this...

Lu Chengfeng started to sob.

Li Fusheng walked up to him, gently squatted down, and looked at him kindly, saying:

"Good child, stay here with Uncle, you'll be alright."

After saying that, he took the rag out of Lu Chengfeng's mouth.

Xing'er was about to stop him, afraid that he would shout and yell, but unexpectedly Lu Chengfeng opened his mouth and shouted:

"Hungry!"

"Uncle, I'm hungry, I want to eat something!"

"Waaaaah..."

Xing'er breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Old Mrs. Li glanced at her son, only to be surprised when he winked at her. She knew in her heart that this child had nothing to do with her family, but she still turned around and left the main room for the kitchen.

She found a plate of cornbread buns in the kitchen pot; she had made them at noon and hadn't finished them, saving them for dinner.

Now we have no choice but to take it out and feed it to the baby.

Xing'er untied him and whispered in his ear:

"Now, if anyone asks you, just say your name is Li Chengfeng. Remember that, or your father and the others will have wasted their time."

Although Lu Chengfeng was young and only knew how to eat, he understood the seriousness of confiscating his property. He felt very sad because there was no one he knew here.

He could only hold back his tears.

When the old lady brought out a plate of cornbread, he instinctively turned his head away in disgust, but he was so hungry that he had no choice but to eat the cornbread anyway.

He had just taken a bite when the rough cornbread made his throat hurt, and he immediately spat it out, crying as he said:

"It tastes awful!"

"I don't want to eat this."

These words were spoken.

Li Lanhua walked up to him, pointed at his head, and cursed:

"These are cornbreads that my grandma worked so hard to steam. If you don't want to eat them, then don't eat them. Otherwise, you can leave and get out of my house."

Li Fusheng quickly shouted:

"Orchid, how dare you speak to your cousin like that?"

"Come here."

After hearing her father's words, Li Lanhua rolled her eyes at Lu Chengfeng and then picked up the cornbread that was placed in front of him. "Dad, I'm not wrong. Why does he say that Grandma's cornbread is bad?"

Xing'er knew he couldn't accept it right away.

She pulled her grandmother aside, and at the same time took out ten taels of silver from her pocket, whispering:

"Grandma, this is the money they gave us. He'll only be staying with us for a year or two, so ten taels of silver should be enough. We still have some white rice at home, right? Let's steam some extra rice for him tonight."

Old Li was taken aback when she received the heavy silver in her hand. She hadn't expected the child's family to be so generous, giving ten taels of silver at once, which should be enough for the child to eat.

"Okay, Grandma understands. Grandma will steam rice for him separately tonight, okay?"

"This child is also a pitiful child. His parents are gone, and his whole family is dead."

"Is it that bad?"

Xing'er nodded.

"This money is all the money his family has."

"How long will he be staying at our house?"

"Let's stay with him until he's a bit older."

"Alright!"

Old Mrs. Li quickly put the silver away. Thinking of how pitiful the child was, she couldn't help but feel more pity for Lu Chengfeng.

Back in the main room.

Grandma Li took the cornbread from Lan Hua's hand and gently pulled her granddaughter aside to say a few words. Lan Hua looked at her grandmother and then at the fat man on the ground.

It kept making "ooh ooh" sounds.

My attitude towards my so-called cousin has softened a bit.

Grandma Li went back to the kitchen to reheat the cornbread and then brought it out for him to eat.

At this time.

Li Dashan and Li Xiaoshan showed their third sister the east and west wing rooms and asked her which room she wanted to choose. "Third sister, you can choose any room you like."

After wandering around for a while, Xing'er decided to stay in the east wing room because there was a big persimmon tree behind the east wing room.

"I'll choose this room in the east wing."

"Alright, Third Sister, this is the one you choose."

"The room next door is perfect for the eldest sister."

"it is good."

As she spoke, she put down the bundle on her back and looked around the room. To her surprise, Master Lu was very helpful; each room had a desk and a camphor wood chest for storing clothes.

Even the space was filled with the unique scent of fresh wood.

After putting down her bag, Xing'er began to get down to business:

"Big brother, second brother, it'll get cold soon. Our village has a new mountain now, so we should go and chop more firewood tomorrow."

Li Dashan smiled:

"Third sister, you don't need to tell me this. Third Grandfather takes the villagers to the mountain to chop firewood every day, saying that it will get cold soon."

"If we don't cut it down soon, someone will steal it."

"That's right, Third Sister, you have no idea how much firewood has been stolen from our village."
