MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 8 My goats are a real treat!

Chapter 8 My goat is a sweet potato!

Some people jumped off the pier without giving up and wanted to reach out to grab the side of the ship.

As a result, he was severely beaten by the servants on the boat and accidentally fell into the fast river.

　　Although he was too hungry to begin with, the man struggled twice before disappearing into the water without a trace.

 “The child’s father!” A woman was lying on the side of the pier crying loudly.

Had it not been for the family members around her to stop her, she would have jumped down.

The woman's painful cries infected the surrounding victims, and for a while, the pier was filled with cries.

Even before the Li family got close, their hearts felt heavy.

Needless to say, it would be difficult to take a boat to Kyoto to join my uncle's family.

But if we walk there, it is a thousand miles away. Not to mention how hard it is, but there are many difficulties and countless dangers along the way. How can we keep the whole family safe?

 Old Mrs. Li clenched the pipe and pot in her hand, her heart filled with sadness.

After a long silence, she pointed to an open space far away from the victims and said in a deep voice.

 “Let’s go over there and have a rest first, and then we’ll slowly figure out a solution.”

The Li family settled down quickly, as if feeling the low pressure permeating the adults. Even the two naughty boys Jia Xi and Jia An sat on the side very obediently and did not run around.

Mrs. Li and her sons wandered around the pier twice, but couldn't find any hope of getting on a boat, so they had to come back dejectedly.

Jiayin was nestled in Tao Hongying's arms, her brows furrowed and she had a headache.

 She could do something secretly if she had no food, but she didn’t have a boat...

 She can’t conjure a ship out of thin air!

 “Let’s cook first, the children are hungry too.”

Old Mrs. Li was so worried that she seemed to have aged several years instantly. She clicked her pipe and forgot to put tobacco in the pot.

 If there is really no other way, their whole family will have no choice but to walk thousands of miles to Kyoto.

Old Mrs. Li looked up at the dim sky in the south, and sighed as if her breath was on fire.

 There was good news and the Li family had a good meal secretly.

 The victims at the dock were so hungry that their eyes turned green when they smelled the aroma of food wafting past the Li family.

However, there were many men in the Li family, and the hatchets in their hands were bright, so the victims only dared to look at them and did not dare to actually come up to grab them.

As night fell, a large and gorgeous passenger ship slowly docked at the pier.

There were several strong young men standing beside the boat, each holding a wooden stick as thick as an arm and looking fiercely.

The victims who were eager to try quickly retracted their heads when they saw this.

Mrs. Li was resting on the donkey cart while the campfire crackled two steps away. When she heard the sound, she opened her eyelids and took a look.

This boat looks like it belongs to a wealthy family, and it will definitely not carry disaster victims.

She sighed and turned her head to see her little granddaughter sleeping soundly in Tao Hongying's arms, with a little hope in her eyes.

 The little granddaughter is blessed, I hope this time it can bring hope to the family.

“Mother, mother, look, someone is getting off the boat.”

Li Laosan gently pushed Mrs. Li, her voice nervous and urgent.

 The big boat took the gangplank to the pier, and several people quickly jumped off.

The middle-aged man headed by him has neatly combed hair. Although the clothes he wears are not silk and satin, they are fine fabrics that are rarely seen in the Li family. He looks like an unusual person.

 The man was followed by two boys, who looked around for a while after getting off the boat.

 As soon as he saw the Li family, he walked straight towards them.

"Old man, we want to buy this dairy goat from your family. Do you want money or grain? Can you give me a price?"

The man could tell at a glance that Old Mrs. Li, who was surrounded by the Li family, was in charge. He walked up to her and explained his purpose straight to the point.

 The dairy goat was tied to the donkey cart. It was probably hungry and was bleating. Mrs. Li was startled when she heard this. No wonder these people came straight to them. It turned out that they were interested in her sheep.

 But this sheep is the granddaughter's food ration, and the fourth daughter-in-law does not have enough milk.

　　If the sheep were sold, Fu Niu'er would be hungry.

Old Mrs. Li was about to refuse when she opened her mouth, but Wu Cuihua on the side suddenly grabbed Old Mrs. Li and said, "Mom!"

 She finally saw that her mother-in-law would not even give up the food that was delivered to her for the sake of that little girl's movie!

She hurriedly gathered beside Mrs. Li and said, "Mom, this sheep is a burden to us. It seems that these people are not short of money. Let's get more grain and sell the sheep."

Old Mrs. Li turned cold and glared at Wu Cuihua.

"No, Fu Niu'er still has to drink goat's milk..."

Before she could finish her words, Wu Cuihua had the courage to interrupt her directly.

“Mom, you don’t know how much food is left in our family, and Hongying has no milk? Do you really want to make our whole family hungry just for the sake of a girl’s movie?”

Wu Cuihua jumped to accuse Mrs. Li, completely forgetting that she had not been hungry for a meal in the past few days, and she relied entirely on good news.

"Shut up!" Seeing Wu Cuihua's dead look, Mrs. Li really wanted to strangle her to death.

　　Why were you so confused in the first place that you married your son to such a house-wrecker?

Tao Hongying was afraid that her mother-in-law would be angry, so she came forward with good news in her arms and asked.

“Sir, let me ask you a question, what do you want to do with the sheep?”

She thought clearly that if it was just for goat milk, the Li family could milk some and sell them, but if they wanted goats, they would definitely not be able to do so.

That middle-aged man is a steward, and he always does things with money. He is rarely successful, but he didn't expect that he would end up with a family of refugees.

He was a little unhappy, but he didn't hide it and explained in a cold voice.

"My young lady is only half a year old, and the nurse we brought out from home is seasick. She has lost her appetite these days and has run out of milk. Madam was so anxious that she happened to see a dairy goat you had here on the boat, so she ordered us to buy it back."

 Hearing what he said, everyone in the Li family knew what was going on.

 No matter whether they are born high or low, children always need extra care and attention.

Orange Mrs. Li couldn't bear it when she heard that there were children starving on the ship.

 But my granddaughter also wants to drink milk, and she cannot sell it no matter what.

"Master, look, my granddaughter is not even a month old. If we don't have the milk goat, she will probably starve to death. I'm really sorry, we can't sell this goat."

As she spoke, she held Jianyin in her arms and leaned forward.

“Mother!” When Wu Cuihua heard Mrs. Li’s words, she immediately screamed in dissatisfaction, but was then covered by Mrs. Li’s mouth and dragged away.

The middle-aged steward glanced down, and Jiayin's **** eyes were looking at him curiously.

 He was looked at by these clear eyes, and his heart softened no matter how hard he was.

 But he was really heartbroken when he thought that his young lady was so hungry that her face was thin.

While on the boat, I thought I was lucky and unexpectedly encountered a dairy goat. Only then did I realize that I was overjoyed.

 He couldn't help but sigh, "In that case, then..."

Jiayin was so anxious that her hands and feet were trapped in her swaddling clothes.

She finally freed one of her arms, pointed to the big ship at the pier and shouted, "Ah, ah!"

Mrs. Li thought her granddaughter was curious, so she patted the baby gently. She was about to coax her a few words, but suddenly an idea came to her mind!

 “Hey, big brother, wait a minute!”

The middle-aged manager thought that Mrs. Li had regretted her decision, so he immediately turned around and looked at her expectantly.

"Sister, have you changed your mind?" He got excited and changed his title.

Old Mrs. Li shook her head, "No, no, big brother, we will never sell this sheep. But every family has children, and I can't bear to hear that your lady is starving.

In this case, I have a suggestion, do you agree with it? "
