Ye Chuqiu sat on the trolley and looked from a distance, only to see smoke in the city. She could still faintly hear crying, which almost penetrated her eardrums.
Remembering that he had encountered rebels before, Ye Chuqiu also vaguely knew what happened in the city without Lin Dahu asking.
Sure enough, when Lin Dahu came over, Ye Chuqiu heard a firm answer, "I heard from them that Lusu City was also robbed by the rebels yesterday, and many people died. Now the city is not allowed to go out but not allowed in!"
"Ah, what should I do?"
Not only Ye Chuqiu, but also the villagers nearby heard his words, with worried looks on their faces.
"No matter what, I have to go and have a look."
"Yes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The people in the city must be richer than us. Even if they are robbed, they are still better than us."
After finally arriving in the city, everyone didn't want to give up and rushed forward. Everyone was not a fool. Not to mention that they were not allowed to enter the city. Even if they were allowed to enter the city, the food they could beg for would be limited.
Lin Dahu looked like an honest man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his movements were not slow at all. He pushed Ye Chuqiu and his wife and children, and ran very fast. After a while, he squeezed to the front.
"Get out of here, you stinky beggar. If you try to break in again, I won't be polite!"
When the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate saw this group of refugees trying to squeeze in, they drove them away with their killing sticks. Several refugees were knocked to the ground by them, and they got up and tried to squeeze in. The officers and soldiers at the city gate screamed.
After drawing out their knives, they backed away in fear, but their eyes were still looking at the city gate eagerly.
At this moment, an ox cart stopped in front of the city gate, and then, a scholar wearing a long gauze walked down. When they saw this person, Lin Dahu and the others' eyes widened, "It's my cousin.
"
Immediately afterwards, they blocked Ye Chuqiu's face in a tacit understanding, not letting her see, for fear that she would be irritated again.
"What are you doing, you guys?"
Ye Chuqiu noticed that something was not right with their brothers, so she reached out and pushed them aside, and then saw her good nephew Ye Yaozu.
"Mom, don't be angry. He refuses to lend us money and food. Now, he has to run away." Lin Erhu said angrily.
"Yes, mother, you don't have to be angry because of this kind of person, but don't get angry because of it." Zhao Hehua also advised in a low voice.
Not angry? How can you not be angry?
Thinking of what the Ye family said before, Ye Chuqiu couldn't help but feel angry. She had paid so much for the Ye family, but her eldest nephew was admitted as a scholar. Her family had no money because of the famine, so they kicked her out.
To the side.
Huh, they wanted to get rid of her, but she still didn't do what they wanted!
Thinking of this, Ye Chuqiu shouted, "Ye Yaozu!"
Immediately afterwards, she got off the cart and quickly came to Ye Yaozu's side, "Yaozu, my aunt's good nephew, my aunt has finally found you."
Ye Yaozu looked ugly when he saw Ye Chuqiu. Finally, the two guards agreed to let them in because of his status as a scholar, but Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway.
"Brother guard, we are on the same side, let us in too."
Ye Chuqiu pulled Ye Yaozu "intimately" and didn't let go. Ye Zhang who was behind, Ye Chuqiu's eldest sister-in-law, saw it, jumped off the bullock cart, and stared, "Mr. Lin Ye, are you still shameless?"
Now, a girl who has been married for many years is still dragging your eldest nephew around?"
"Why am I so shameless? The oxen you pull the cart is still mine. When you want the oxen, you affectionately call me good sister. Now that we are going to the city, I will become Lin Ye's family?"
Ye Chuqiu's eyes widened, "Big tiger, two tigers, three tigers and four tigers, come over to me! Today, either we go to the city together, or we leave my cows behind."
"Oh, your cow, why do you say it is your cow?"
Mrs. Ye Zhang put her hands on her hips and looked at Ye Chuqiu angrily, feeling strange in her heart that Ye Chuqiu had lost her temper today and dared to talk to her like this.
"Hey, my cow can answer my call if I call it!"
As he said that, Ye Chuqiu looked at Lin Dahu. Lin Dahu was ordered to come over, touched the cow's head, and called out, "Dahei."
"Moo~"
The big buffalo bent its horns and rubbed Lin Dahu's head and shoulders affectionately. Lin Dahu touched the big buffalo's head and looked at Mr. Ye Zhang proudly!
Just kidding, he had raised this buffalo since he was a child. Two years ago, Ye Yaozu was admitted as a child student and said that he needed a bullock cart to go to the town to study, so his mother gave them this buffalo.
"you……"
Seeing that Lin Dahu could shout Ying Niu, Mrs. Ye Zhang was stunned, but she was not a fuel-efficient lamp. She just said: "It doesn't matter if you can shout Ying. I bought this cow from your house, and you still want to take it away."
?”
"You bought it from my house, did you give us money?"
Ye Chuqiu also refused to give up. She waved her hand and said: "Either you take us in together, or you give us the cow back!"
"How can we make noise in this important city gate?"
The guard shouted loudly, looked at Ye Yaozu again, and lowered his voice, "You can let them in, and give them another two taels of silver."
Ye Yaozu turned to look at Ye Zhang. Seeing that Ye Chuqiu refused to let them go, Ye Zhang also thought that his wife and family were still following them, so she could only suffer the loss of being dumb.
Just as he was about to pay for Ye Chuqiu's family to go in, Ye Chuqiu's second younger sibling Li Yumei saw her. She shouted, "Sister-in-law, there are us, we are going to the city too!"
Li Youmei, a thin and small figure, pulled her family and ran very fast. After a while, Lin Qingyun, the second eldest brother, and his family, as well as several of their children, followed.
"Give me another two taels."
The soldiers at the city gate didn't bother to talk to them anymore.
No matter how Ye Zhang was willing to pay, the four boys from Ye Chuqiu's family and the three boys from Lin Lao'er's family were all looking at her eagerly. No matter how powerful she opened her mouth, they could not withstand their fists.
I was thinking about which one was more cost-effective, cows or money, and was about to pay and forget it, but at this time, Lin Laosan, Lin Qingshi, also came over with his family, looking at him with a look on his face.
There is nothing else in Lao Lin's house, except that there are many people.
After Ye Chuqiu married Lin Qingchuan, the boss of Lin family, she gave birth to four sons and one daughter, from Lin Dahu to Lin Wufeng.
The second oldest, Lin Qingyun, married Li Yumei and gave birth to three sons, from Lin Dabao to Lin Sanbao.
The third son, Lin Qingshi, married Chai Chunfang and gave birth to two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Lin Daxiong, the second son Lin Erxiong, and a daughter named Ganoderma lucidum.
In short, if it weren't for Ye Chuqiu, who took the whole family to subsidize her parents' family, she would still be living a very good life at home. After all, although the Lin family was separated, as the elder sister-in-law, Lin Er and Lin San still respected her.
"Six taels of silver. If you want to go in, hurry up. If you don't want to go in, don't block the door."
When Ye Zhang heard that the price was six taels of silver, she made a calculation. In the past, when the harvest was good, a cow would cost only eight taels of silver. But now, when the harvest is good, a cow may not be sold for six taels of silver.
Moreover, there are still rebels making trouble these days. This time they were just lucky and escaped the rebels. But what if they meet them next time?
After much deliberation, I realized that it would not be worthwhile to exchange my six taels of silver for a cow.
But she still didn't want to return the cow to Ye Chuqiu, so she walked up to the city gate guards with a stern look on her face and said, "Brothers, please do me a favor, we really don't know them."
