The housekeeper was not a nagging person, so he took out two taels of silver and handed it to Lin Yueru on the spot.
The housekeeper originally thought that she would at least refuse.
Who knew that Lin Yueru took it and put it in her arms...
After pocketing the money, Lin Yueru grinned: "Let's go."
The housekeeper followed the two of them. Seeing the two of them walking briskly and without hesitation, he immediately understood that the so-called getting lost was just an excuse.
But he is a smart man, and he will naturally not ask more questions about things that Lin Yueru has not said.
Just like Lin Yueru, she never asked who was chasing him.
Originally, the two of them walked very fast, but after taking the housekeeper and the beautiful woman with them, the speed of the four of them slowed down a lot.
The main reason was that the beautiful woman was delicate and frail and couldn't walk very fast, so the three of them had no choice but to accommodate her.
It was idle along the way, and everyone exchanged a few words from time to time to get to know each other.
Lin Yueru soon learned that the housekeeper's surname was Sun and the beautiful woman's surname was Tong.
Their original home was in Jingzhou, and the reason why they came to the north was that Mrs. Tong wanted to go home to visit relatives, and Butler Sun escorted her all the way.
Unexpectedly, on the way back, he was targeted by his enemy, who chased him relentlessly. Butler Sun almost fell into his hands several times.
Butler Sun was also talking and had some understanding of the situation of the Han family.
Especially when I heard that all three of them now live in caves, I was even more impressed by them.
They have come all the way and know how difficult it is to have a place to stay, let alone keep it.
The four people walked and rested, and finally arrived at the cave before dawn.
As soon as they saw the shadow of the cave in the distance, they heard the excited voice of Han Lao Er: "Fourth brother! Brothers and sisters!"
Han Yanqing also waved excitedly, "Second brother!"
Lin Yueru rolled her eyes and explained: "Maybe the family is worried and asked someone to greet us outside."
Mrs. Tong and Butler Sun couldn't help but be excited when they heard this.
Finally there is a place where I can stay, take a break and have a bite to eat!
After getting closer, Han Laoer discovered that Lin Yueru was followed by two strangers.
Upon closer inspection, I thought the man looked familiar.
Lin Yueru explained: "Second brother, this is the family that originally exchanged grain with our family for horses. We met them on the road this time."
Han Laoer suddenly realized, "Oh! I remember, I remember."
"They were separated from their families and wanted to come to our house to have a rest and borrow a meal."
"No problem. Since Yueru brought the person back, just follow us back to the cave!"
Han Lao Er now blindly trusts his younger siblings.
Lin Yueru is right in everything she does!
Mrs. Tong was already very tired. When she heard that there was a cave ahead, she immediately took up her breath and followed Han Laoer.
When they arrived in front of the cave, looking at the flattened earth slope and the half wall outside the cave used to block the wind, the two of them opened their mouths in shock again.
Han Laoer deliberately led the two of them to avoid the trap, "Be careful, here..."
"The road here is a bit uneven, be careful of slipping." Lin Yueru took over the topic.
Han Lao Er paused and looked back, not daring to say a word.
Fortunately, Mrs. Tong and Butler Sun only marveled at the wonderful geographical location of the cave and did not listen carefully.
The two of them followed Han Laoer obediently and climbed into the cave along the hidden path they had left before.
At the entrance of the cave, three families were sitting or standing.
All in all, they were all looking out eagerly, full of worry.
Han Lao Er was the first to reveal his figure and said excitedly: "Mom! The Fourth Lao and the others are back!"
Mrs. Han rushed out of the cave tremblingly, "Back?! Both of them are back? Are you hurt?!"
Ever since the two of them didn't come back last night, the old lady was so anxious that she cursed herself over and over in her heart.
How could I have lost my mind and agreed to let the two children go out by themselves?
No matter how powerful they are, these are just two children!
Besides, it's such a mess outside. If something happens to the two of them, she might as well just stop living!
When they reached the entrance of the cave and glanced at Lin Yueru and Han Yanqing, the old lady's sight was safely covered by the mist.
Lin Yueru saw this and quickly came over to hug the old lady, patting her back and coaxing her.
"Mom, we're fine! Don't worry, we just encountered something on the way and were delayed."
Zhao Shuangtao said quickly, "Yes, mother, please stop crying! Both of them are back well, and this is what we are most happy about!"
"Yes, Auntie, Lao Si and Yue Ru are both smart people, so I said they will be fine!"
Everyone tried to comfort Mrs. Han, but they actually made her feel a little embarrassed.
The old lady broke free from Lin Yueru's arms.
With a straight face, "Who said I cried? I'm angry!"
Mrs. Han grabbed Lin Yueru and Han Yanqing and taught them a lesson, "You two little bastards, please listen to me. I will never forgive you if something like this happens again next time!"
Lin Yueru said quickly, "Don't worry, Mom, we will never let you worry again in the future."
How dare she talk back now? If the old lady gets angry again, who will she find to reason with?
Han Yanqing also nodded like his wife, "Yes! Don't let mother worry!"
When he interrupted like this, Mrs. Han was no longer angry.
The third daughter-in-law is right, as long as the two children come back safely, that is the most important thing.
Everyone else also grinned behind their ears.
They didn't think anything was wrong at first, but Lin Yueru was suddenly absent these two days, and they always felt that something was wrong somewhere!
A group of people sat in the cave all day long and didn't know what to do. They just guarded the entrance of the cave and stared outside.
Seeing that Mrs. Han had calmed down, Lin Yueru immediately let the people behind her out.
"Mom, we met an acquaintance during our trip."
"What acquaintance?"
Mrs. Han looked up suspiciously.
Suddenly there was a cry of "Ouch", "Isn't this the big brother who brought us grain to buy horses that day? Why are you here!"
Butler Sun was originally afraid that the Han family would not welcome them, but as soon as they arrived, he felt their enthusiasm and sincerity, and for a moment he felt indescribably excited.
"Auntie, this, this is a long story!"
Lin Yueru saw this and simply led everyone into the cave.
"Mom, Butler Sun and Mrs. Tong have been running around for several days. Why don't we let them go to the cave to have a rest?"
Mrs. Han nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, you guys come in and have a rest! The old man's family and the third family's family go and cook some porridge!"
Liu Qiumei and Zhao Shuangtao received the order and immediately started cooking rice porridge.
The Qian family and the Liu family were relieved to see that Lin Yueru and his wife were back. They didn't know Butler Sun, so they simply said hello and went back to the cave.
Butler Sun and Mrs. Tong were left to talk briefly with Mrs. Han about their experiences along the way.
Mrs. Han lamented while listening.
"This world is really in chaos!"
She looked at Mrs. Tong with pity and said, "It's pitiful that a wife from a wealthy family like you has to suffer the same fate as us!"
Mrs. Tong has been on tenterhooks and frightened these past few days.
Now that I finally had a place to stay, and Mrs. Han warned me like an elder in the family, I couldn't help but blush.
Lin Yueru took out a clean handkerchief from her arms and handed it over in due time.
"Mrs. Tong, my Yan Qing has brought some water. How about you freshen up briefly first?"
Mrs. Tong was naturally grateful, "Okay! Yueru, thank you so much!"
When she was in the palace, she had to wash herself every day even in winter.
But now that I'm out on this trip, my life is almost at risk. Where is the chance to take a shower?
When I had the opportunity to sit down, I realized that I smelled so bad that I couldn't stand it anymore!
Liu Qiumei took Mrs. Tong to the cave to wash up. Butler Sun had followed Han Lao Er out from the beginning to avoid suspicion.
While Mrs. Tong was washing inside, Lin Yueru called Mrs. Han to the small cave to whisper.
