Chapter 608: where is my armours
As Grandma Fang spoke she suddenly recalled the time when she had to flee from her house after being kicked out by her family and did not have anything to eat, during that time the village suffered through a drought and the days she had to see ahead of her was really hellish, if not for her having nothing in her hands, she would have been killed by those villagers who moved from here after they stole and killed many innocent villagers because of the drought and lack of food.
When she recalled those days grandma Fang could not help but shiver and as she looked at Grandma Yu whose expression was just as bad as hers, she knew that the latter was thinking about the same time. Back then they were very young and yet they had a very hard time taking care of their families. In the end, even though Grandma Fang knew that she was overstepping her boundaries she could not help but remind Yu Dong in a concerned voice, “Daughter-in-law, you should also remind the village head Gu about storing the grains as well, maybe if possible you should help her if you can because if only our family has grains and the villagers don’t then it will cause a lot of trouble.”
Grandma Yu nodded upon hearing Grandma Fang’s words and then said, ” Sister Fang is right, the last time such situations arose was when you were still a baby in your daddy’s belly and I can never forget the conditions during that time. If you are the only one who has grains and food then the villagers will come to borrow from you and if you don’t give them your grains then they will not care about anything! I have seen people even eat their own kind when they are pushed to the edge of hunger.”
The last time such a situation arose was when Yu Dong was not even born, the drought appeared out of nowhere. Grandma Yu did not have enough grains with her but Yu Dong’s mother was a capable woman she would hunt either rabbit, deer or anything that she could and did not let the family go hungry at all. It was because of this reason that the villagers eyed their family and would often try to steal the hunt that Yu Dong’s mother brought to the house, back then she used to fight with the villagers but when she saw the ruthlessness of the villagers who killed other villagers and ate them, she understood that there was no point in fighting with such cruel people and let them take whatever they wanted to, it was a good thing that those villagers were gone now but what if the other villagers walk on the same path as those villagers?
What will happen to her granddaughter’s family and her pregnant husband?
Shen Li nodded as he too remembered what happened back then, he was very young back then but his memory of that time was very clear because that was when a lot of his brothers were sold off by his family. He had more than six brothers, but three of them were married off in exchange for dowry gifts while the other three were sold off, if not for him being very young and no one showing any interest in him, he too would have been sold off as well.
Not like he was not sold off.
” I think that grandma and grandma Fang are right, we should make sure that the villagers and village head know what they have to do during these times, who knows how they will react if we don’t tell them that they have to store grains as well.”

Yu Dong did not refuse, instead, she agreed she was not going to refuse such a small request of her family, though she expected village head Gu to do a good job and take measures properly but then she remembered how much of a scatterbrain Village head Gu was and then decided to not keep any expectations from the old woman.
This was a good thing because the second she met with Village head Gu and told her about what her grandmothers have told her to tell Village head Gu, the latter was stunned to find out that she needed to ask the villagers to save grains and store as many grains as possible. Seeing her shocked expression even Yu Dong was stunned, was this woman this bad of a leader? Then what was she even doing sitting in this position?
” I will tell the villagers to go to the town and buy as many grains as possible.” Village head Gu blushed a little when she saw that Yu Dong was looking at her with a complicated look in her eyes, she understood that Yu Dong might be thinking badly about her leadership quality and immediately coughed to hide her embarrassment.
Yu Dong nodded and then turned to leave for the town, she did not have any need to store any grains but for the sake of the two elderly women who were as anxious as ants on hot pants, she decided to buy little grains, that way the two grandmothers wouldn’t have to spend their days in worry.
While she was walking towards the stop where the cart to the town usually stopped, she felt the ground under her feet shake. For a second she thought that it was an earthquake, and wanted to rush back to the village but as soon as she turned around she was shocked to see a tsunami of dirt and debris approaching her. For one second she did not understand what was happening and how in the world the ecosystem got disturbed this badly that was until she noticed that there were people in front of the cloud of dust and debris, they were yelling and pushing each other to get into the front line.
And at the head of the crowd was none other than Village head Gu who was trying to beat the rest while trying to leave the others behind.
Yu Dong: “…..” Where is my armour? Why did no one tell me that she was heading to war?
