Chapter 152 - 0152: Successfully Brought Back 4_1
"Don’t make it sound so easy. Everyone’s having a hard time. Isn’t every beggar chased away like a dog?"
Upon hearing Guan Cheng’s words, Jiang He scoffed: "Bullshit! People are barely surviving. How many can afford to keep dogs? Even those with dogs have long since slaughtered and cooked them to stave off hunger! Aren’t we beggars dependent on the mercy of others? Do you think we are esteemed guests? Don’t joke around! Every time we knock on their doors, it means their provisions are reduced. They would hardly welcome us."
At this point, Jiang He said earnestly: "Guan Cheng, don’t worry. Winter was tough, but now it’s spring, isn’t it? Everywhere is full of wild grasses and vegetables, poplars and willows are sprouting. As long as one can work, no one will starve."
Throughout Guan Cheng and Jiang He’s conversation, Feng Qingxue remained silent.
Because she knew very well that while she sympathized with these children, she couldn’t take them all home. There was nowhere to house them, and she couldn’t afford to feed this many mouths. That would draw too much attention.
Everyone is struggling for food, and she couldn’t risk appearing to support so many solely on her own, even a blind man could see there’s something amiss.
The more she endures, the more she appreciates the value of food.
Feng Qingxue made up her mind again. Once the years of famine passed, and the production and supply of food flowers, she must gradually decrease the supply of food to her family and friends. She must ration as much as possible. If they want to fill their bellies, work hard. This way, she could reduce the consumption of her space resources.
Soon, Guan Cheng and Jiang He’s conversation came to an end. Guan Cheng left with his little brother under Feng Qingxue’s care, but the old temple’s doors were always open to them, they could come back at any time.
Jiang He said that.
