After confirming the matter of food, everyone's panic was reduced a lot. As Shi Chunquin said, food is the guarantee of survival. As long as you are sure that you can survive, then property and other things will naturally become less important.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, the old lady sighed, "Except for the Spring Equinox, doesn't anyone have any ideas?"
The Chu family was in great trouble. Apart from quarreling, these people could not come up with any useful suggestions. The old lady was extremely disappointed. She was so shrewd in scheming against each other on weekdays, but at the critical moment she had no idea at all. With a group of descendants like this, I'm afraid
The glory of the Chu family has also come to an end.
Everyone looked at each other, but Aunt Liu said: "In addition to food, we must prepare all the coal and clothing for winter. If the rebels want money, we may not have the opportunity to purchase these things in large quantities by then, so we can only prepare them in advance.
get ready."
"That's it, how can it be easy?" Cao Yingchun couldn't help but said: "I went shopping yesterday and wanted to prepare some daily necessities. I found that many shops in Liuzhou City were closed and everyone was too busy to take care of themselves. Even if you have money, you can't buy them.
I’m afraid it’s not easy to prepare daily necessities for the whole house.”
"It's not easy but it has to be done." Chu Gui said calmly: "Anyway, the money will eventually fall into the hands of the rebels. It's better to spend it when it's time to spend it to avoid being restricted everywhere in the future."
"Yes." Seeing that they finally said a few words, Chu Yan nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will send people to handle these. In addition to daily necessities, do you think you need to prepare anything else?"
"No need." Chu Run said: "The first thing the rebels will do when entering the city is to search various mansions and stockpile food to survive. If they prepare other things, they may provoke the rebels.
Suspicion."
"Arun is right." It was rare that Chu Xiu agreed with someone else's suggestion, "I don't think there is anything else to prepare. Let's just settle down and take it one step at a time."
Apart from him and Shi Chunfen, only the old lady and Chu Yan in the entire Chu family knew about the real thing. The reason why they didn't tell others was simply because they were afraid that people would gossip and someone would leak it out to let the rebels know. This was their life-saving talisman.
, they will never take it out until the last moment.
Since they had no other ideas, everyone quickly dispersed. Shi Chunquin followed Chu Xiu and asked him: "How is the progress of the tunnel?"
Chu Xiu sighed, "It hasn't been long since we started digging. What do you think we can do?"
Shi Chunfen's expression became solemn, and he felt a little uneasy. He never expected that the rebels would come so quickly. Everything was full of unusualness. They were obviously coming for the Chu family. If the tunnel could not be dug well, they would
You have lost your only life-saving talisman, and you will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others.
"Don't think so much now." Although his face was full of worry, Shi Chunfen still comforted him: "We can dig as far as we can. If it doesn't work, even if we are surrounded by rebels, we can dig secretly in the middle of the night. As long as we can dig
Keep hope and you will always find a way out.”
Seeing that she was optimistic, Chu Xiu was very funny, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Shi Chunfen was stunned for a moment by his question, and quickly said: "I'm really not afraid."
Since she married Chu Ling, she has met several times between life and death. From the initial fear of death to now, she has long felt that there is nothing terrible in life. Death is just a black eye, and being slandered by people is the most painful thing.
Fortunately, she got through it all during that time.
Seeing her tenacious gaze, Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What happened when you went to Shuzhou? Why does your whole person seem different?"
Shi Chunfen lowered his head and smiled, "Is there any?"
Everyone thought that her change came from her experience in Shuzhou, but only she knew that it was after she came back that she saw the old lady aging rapidly, so she learned from the experience and decided not to let her down.
There are many irreversible things in life, and death is the most painful one.
She was not afraid of death herself, but she was afraid of the death of her relatives around her. Especially after what happened to Du Yumei, she felt that her entire being had been reborn.
Some things can be learned over and over again, and some things cannot.
She only had to learn the regret caused by death once, and she never wanted to learn it a second time in her life.
He raised his eyes to the sky, estimated the time, and said bluntly: "I won't tell you anymore. I have to continue to supervise the tunnel. As you said, how much can be dug before the rebels capture Liuzhou City?"
How far is it?"
"Okay." Shi Chunfen nodded slightly and watched Chu Xiu leave.
After Chu Xiu left, she turned around to go back to her yard, but saw Chu Run and Yu Atu standing in the distance waiting for her. She was slightly stunned, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Are you two here to see me?"
The two people nodded quickly, and Yu Atu said bluntly: "We saw that you were talking to the second master, so we didn't have the nerve to come forward and disturb you. This time, we came to see you for the sake of my parents. I wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the city.
Get up and bring them to Chu’s house.”
"Bringing in the Chu family?" Shi Chunfen was a little surprised, "Do you know that it would be much safer if they cut off their relationship with the Chu family."
"That being said, places outside the Chu family are not much better." Yu Atu said anxiously: "If the Chu family is surrounded and we lose contact with our parents, what if something happens to them outside?
, we can’t help even if we want to.”
"Yes." Chu Run said, "I also agree to take them over. Under my nose, I have to feel more at ease."
Shi Chunfen hesitated. What they said was indeed true. No one could guarantee the nature of the rebels. If they burned, killed, looted, and bullied innocent people in the city, my aunt's family would not be able to survive.
, no matter how unsafe the Chu family is, at least food and clothing can be guaranteed, and with the backing of Huating County Lord, the chance of them being killed is only 10%. If you think about it carefully, it is much safer than outside.
"Okay then." Shi Chunquin nodded and said, "Since you all think so, let's go pick them up today."
In the past, she would have reported this kind of thing to the old lady, but now is an emergency period. She knows that the old lady will not refuse, so she doesn't bother her anymore. She will wait until the person is picked up and settled.
It's not too late to tell the old lady.
After the three people reached an agreement, they quickly asked the concierge to arrange a carriage and headed to Yu's house together.
Because Du Yumei was hanged in the Yu family, the Yu family moved and now live in a large house arranged for them by Shi Chunfen, which is not far from the Chu family.
