Wang Dashi raised his hand and wanted to stop the father and son.

However, when he turned around, he saw his own wife, who had appeared at the door without his realization,

Wang Dashi restrained himself for a moment, and finally, put his hand down.

“I’ll go ask Mother to come out for dinner,” the woman spoke up.

’Mm-hmm,” Wang Dashi responded.

He then turned around and entered the house.

After the Wang family’s father and son left Wang Dashi’s house, they returned to their own home.

The father and son then lit the lights and went to the kitchen to cook.

Wang Laoshuan wanted to cook porridge but Wang Dashan stopped him.

’’Let’s make pancakes.¹

“We ll make more. Tomorrow morning, we ll send some to Second Uncle’s house,” Wang Dashan said.

Wang Laoshuan was surprised.

A hint of hesitation flashed across his face.

Following that, he agreed. “Okay!”

Then, he turned around and prepared to go and retrieve the coarse flour at home.

“Use all of them,” Wang Dashan said again.

Wang Laoshuan was stunned this time.

He turned around and looked at his son.

“Hl go to town tomorrow to buy some grain,” Wang Dashan said.

Wang Laoshuan’s eyes flickered.

He recalled what his mother had said to him at his second brother¹ s house. His eyes suddenly turned red-rimmed.

“Alright!” he replied and proceeded to get the coarse flour.

After that, the father and son did not speak again.

After Wang Laoshuan mixed the flour up, he and Wang Dashan baked all the flour into pancakes.

Eventually, they ended up baking one big basket of pancakes.

“Let’s eat. We can sleep better after we eat our fill,” Wang Dashan said.

“Then, tomorrow morning, we¹11 send the remaining pancakes to Second Uncle’s house. In addition, we ll give them too copper coins.

“I’ll get yon the money later.”

Wang Laoshuan nodded again.

After that, he picked up the pancake and began eating together with Wang Dashan.

As he ate, his tears began to fall, making pitter-patter sounds on the ground.

At first, he could still hold back the tears, but in the end, he really couldn’t bear it anymore and actually cried out loud.

When Wang Dashan saw this, he also choked on his emotions.

Eventually, he reached out and patted Wang Laoshuan’s shoulder.

“Go ahead and cry. You’ll feel better after crying,” he said as he tried to hold back his own tears.

Grandma had agreed to let them stay, but the words she said made them feel very awful inwardly.

Grandma said that this farewell might be a permanent farewell.

Mother and son, grandmother and grandson might never see each other again.

The next day, Wang Dashan handed the money to Wang Laoshuan early in the morning.

After eating two pancakes with Wang Laoshuan, Wang Dashan gave him the rest.

After that, he packed up the firewood and set off for town.

Along the way, Wang Dashan was in emotional turmoil

He was still thinking about his father going to his second uncle’s house to deliver the stuff.

This was the only thing he and his father could do.

After paying the fee and entering the town, Wang Dashan went straight to the customers who had ordered the firewood from him yesterday and delivered the firewood to them.

When he was left with two bundles of firewood, he sent them to the Song family’s place.

At this moment, Wang Xiaomei had already returned after selling off all the bean sprouts.

When she saw that her big brother had come again, she went over to talk to Wang Dashan.

“The village chief has already spoken. He allowed everyone to follow him voluntarily.

Second Uncle’s family is also leaving,” Wang Dashan said.

“Then Grandma…” WangXiaoinei’s expression changed slightly as she asked.

“Grandma will also follow them and leave,” Wang Dashan replied.

“Last night, 1 visited Grandma with Father.”

“She has agreed to let us stay.”

Following that, Wang Dashan told Wang Xiaomei about how he and Wang Laoshuan baked pancakes and sent them to Second Uncle’s house.

He also told her about the extra 100 copper coins.

Wang Xiaomei nodded.

“That’s the right thing to do. The journey is not easy. If they have more things in hand, Second Uncle’s family can live a little better.”

Then, Wang Xiaomei thought of something.

The flour at home is all used up. 1’11 go ger some for you,” she said.

“Mm-hmm. Just five catties will do,” Wang Dashan said.

“1 haven’t told Father about renting a room at the Liu family’s place. Also, he doesn’t know about the food you’ve stocked up.”

Wang Xiaomei was taken aback.

She then nodded.

“Alright!”

After that, she took the sack from Wang Dashan and went into the house to help Wang Dashan get rhe coarse flour.

When Wang Xiaomei returned, the sack in her hand was already filled with stuff.

Wang Dashan took the food with a dejected expression.

“Grandma, she…” He opened his mouth and only managed to say two words. He didn’t finish his sentence.

Wang Dashan actually wanted Grandma to stay with them.

However, there was only one extra room in the Liu family’s house.

He could still squeeze in with his father, but Grandma wouldn’t be able to stay in the same room with them.

In addition, staying in Mountain Spring Town did not necessarily mean that it was better than fleeing the famine.

Most importantly, even if Grandma knew the real situation, she might choose not to go with them.

It had always been like this, hadn’t it?

She was always thinking about their family and didn’t want to be a burden to them.

Wang Xiaomei could read her big brother’s mind. She went up and patted Wang Dashan¹ s arm.

‘Just let Grandma follow Second Uncle. With him around, Grandma will be safe and sound,” she consoled her big brother.

Compared to their father, Second Uncle was much more reliable.

At the moment, there was a limit to what they could do as juniors. This was as far as they could go.

Wang Dashan nodded.

He quickly turned around and left.

He had to quickly leave the town and then go home and send another handcart of firewood to town to sell for money.

He needed money.

With this thought in mind, Wang Dashan walked quickly and returned to Brook Falls Village.

However, as soon as he entered the village, he heard the bad news.

When a villager saw Wang Dashan, he told him to go home quickly. He said that something had happened ar home.

When he saw the villager looking at him with some sympathy, Wang Dashan suddenly felt that something was dreadfully wrong.

He didn’t ask any more questions and quickly pushed the handcart and ran home.

When he got home, Wang Dashan saw a few people standing in the courtyard.

He recognized two of them. They were from rhe Qian family’s village.

“Dashan, you’re finally back!” When Wang Laoshuan saw that his son had returned, he quickly stood up to receive him.

Wang Dashi also looked at Wang Dashan worriedly.

“They say your mother is dead!” Wang Laoshuan said, half-sobbing.

Wang Dashan was dumbfounded. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

“Dead?” he asked his father in a daze.

Nor long ago, she even came back to steal the chicken and rice at home.

Although she looked unkempt, she still had the strength to fight with his father. How did she die?

Wang Dashan could nor describe what he was feeling ar the moment.

All in all, he was far more shocked rhan sad.

Then, his hatred for Madam Qian seemed to vanish all of a sudden.

“She’s dead! They say she’s been dead for a few days!”

“They smelled a foul odor coming from rhe courtyard and broke the door down. That was when they saw it.”

“Her head had been cracked open and her body was lying in the courtyard. Nobody knew who did it!” Wang Laoshuan said anxiously.

Wang Dashan looked at Wang Laoshuan in a daze.

“The body… has started decomposing?” Wang Dashan asked.

“Yes, it has!” At this moment, one of the people from the Qian family’s village spoke up.

“The locusts even ate quite a bit. When we went in…” The man’s face showed a tinge of fear and he didn’t continue speaking.

“Sigh! Anyway, she’s gone,” he added after a while.

“We suspect some thief must have found out that she was alone at home and this gave rise to his evil intentions.

“We’ve already reported the case to the government office.” ’Next, it’s the funeral arrangements,” that person continued..
