The village chief trusted Wen Meijiu very much. If they didn't have Wen Meijiu and Lao Li, they would have been killed by the robbers long ago.

"Okay, okay, no problem, everyone just take care of each other on the way.

That is, is his illness okay? "

Wen Meijiu quickly assured the village chief:

"Grandpa, don't worry. Young Master Li just has a common high fever. I'm afraid he has caught a cold or something. Let Old Li take a look at him later. He is a very good doctor."

The village chief felt relieved because Wen Meijiu had made arrangements. He was also afraid that Master Li had contracted some infectious disease. If he and so many people in the village were infected, it would be troublesome.

After greeting the village chief, Wen Meijiu came back and discussed with Lao Li that she had helped Master Wang conceal his identity and asked Lao Li for help.

Old Li was quick and agreed immediately without asking any questions.

Before leaving, Wen Meijiu secretly went to the backyard. Although the lake there had run dry, there was still water in the well. She filled a jar with water and hid it in the space.

By the time Wen Meijiu returned, everyone had already packed up and were ready to set off.

"Set off."

They lined up according to the previous rules, and at the command of the village chief, the team started their journey.

Not long after the team walked out, someone in the group began to complain, saying that they left too early and the children were still hungry.

The first person to say this was Wang Baoquan. He was not afraid of muttering to himself. Later, Liu Kerong also ran up to him and said this. The voices of both of them became louder and louder, so that everyone in the team in front and behind could hear them.

"Hey, isn't it strange? My brother used to listen to other people's opinions, but ever since he was drugged by a certain yellow-haired girl, he has become completely unresponsive."

Because of his age, Wang Baoquan was arranged in the middle. In order to match everyone's speed, he walked on the ground with a whip, while not forgetting to smoke his favorite pipe.

When he was so angry, he whipped the horse next to him hard. The horse was hit and quickly ran out of the team formation and was about to run forward, but he pulled the reins hard to strangle its neck.

"Uncle Wang, who are you talking about?"

Liu Kerong, who had come from the front specially, sat down on the shaft of the carriage opposite Wang Baoquan, without any courtesy, and was ready to gossip about Wen Meijiu.

"My niece, you are adding fuel to the fire."

Wang Baoquan's wife Chen sat cross-legged in the car and winked at Liu Kerong, fearing that the hatred between them and Wenmei Restaurant would grow deeper.

Chen and Wang Baoquan thought differently. Most of the people in this village had the surname Wen, and Wen Meijiu's father had three brothers. Even if Erlang was disabled, there were still two brothers left. If others joined forces, they would be at a disadvantage as they were a family with a different surname and only one son.

"Aunt, I'm just trying to comfort Uncle Wang, not add fuel to the fire. Look how scared you are.

Don't worry, we're just chatting, nothing else."

In order to shut Chen up, Liu Kerong stuffed a handful of fried corn beans into Chen's hands and smiled flatteringly:

"Auntie, try it, it's delicious."

Thunder god never strikes a smiling person. Chen smiled helplessly at her and lowered her head to taste the corn beans.

"Tsk, your aunt always likes to be mean, I finally see why now."

Wang Baoquan complained dissatisfiedly that even outsiders knew to speak in his favor.

"Uncle Wang, I have good intentions. If it were someone else, they wouldn't worry about you like this. After all, they are three brothers."

Wang Baoquan was unhappy with this and asked back:

"Why, you have so many brothers, you want to fight?

Let her come, let her come a few more, and see if I am afraid of her?

You are such a bully, I am her ancestor, and there is no law!"

Although he was angry, Wang Baoquan still felt a little guilty after he finished speaking. He was just bluffing just now, after all, he only had one son.

Liu Kerong laughed after hearing this, gave Wang Baoquan a thumbs up, and said:

"My Uncle Wang is a hero, no wonder so many people like you so much, what you say makes sense!

We are all from the same village. No matter how many brothers you have, you must be reasonable in what you say and do. You can't just go when you say go or stop when you say stop. Do you think we are all wooden?"

Wang Baoquan was very satisfied with what Liu Kerong said. The two looked at each other and smiled.

Encouraged, Liu Kerong became braver and raised her voice:

"Before, besides Uncle Wang, I admired the village chief the most, but now I dare not say that."

The village chief's carriage was right in front of Wang Baoquan's family. Hearing them talking in such a sarcastic tone, he snorted coldly and said nothing.

"That's not true. I don't know what's wrong with my brother. He just listens to whatever others say. Now he has the final say."

"I don't know if anyone will whip us with a horse whip if we don't obey from now on."

Liu Kerong laughed even harder, chuckling non-stop, and continued with Wang Baoquan's words:

"Uncle Wang, I guess they'll hit me first. After all, I'm the younger one and I can be controlled better than you."

Wang Baoquan blew out a puff of his pipe and said deliberately to the front:

"That's hard to say. After all, I'm old and can't stand too much abuse. You're still young and can withstand more beatings than me."

The village chief was walking in front and could bear it, but his wife Jiang couldn't stand it anymore. Her family and the Chen family were distant relatives in a roundabout way. If it weren't for this relationship, the village chief's family might not be so close to Wang Bao's family.

Feeling angry but not wanting to fall out, Jiang nudged her eldest daughter-in-law, Wang, who was sitting next to her, with her elbow.

Wang had long been fed up with the sarcastic exchanges between Wang Baoquan and Liu Kerong. Upon receiving the order, she immediately jumped off the carriage and headed towards Liu Kerong.

Wang Baoquan was the elder, and Wang knew that she couldn't beat him, and she couldn't do it. But who did Liu Kerong think she was, to bully her family?

The village chief's family is the most prestigious in the village, with many men in the family. How could they be gossiped about by a gossipy woman?

Wang was also a powerful person, otherwise she would not have been able to become the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief. She twisted Liu Kerong's ear and pulled her off the shaft of the cart.

Normally, Liu Kerong would not dare to fight with Wang, after all, she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief.

However, in public, she was pulled by the ears and fell heavily to the ground with her legs up in the air. She was immediately blinded by anger and got up and started fighting with Wang.

The team that was marching properly was now in chaos. Some people went over to help, some went over to separate them, and no one knew who misunderstood who, but it suddenly turned into a big fight.

The originally orderly team was in chaos, strong young people also joined in, and the team's cordon was suddenly gone.

Dazhu, who was helping to drive the cart, also wanted to go over to help, but was stopped by Wen Meijiu.

"Brother Dazhu, calm down."

"My mother was beaten!"

Dazhu saw Ren Meiluo just go over to stop the fight, but he was slapped in the face and thrown to the side of the road, and he couldn't stand immediately.

Wen Meijiu still shook his head vigorously at him and advised:

"We are fleeing from famine. If we start fighting among ourselves, we are afraid that someone will take advantage of us."

A group of disaster victims not far behind them were screaming with hunger. When they saw the unattended vehicles and food here, their eyes glowed green and they rushed towards this side desperately.
