"I'm not that narrow-minded."

The village chief hit the nail on the head, but Wang Baoquan refused to admit it.

"Humph, do you know it yourself?"

The village chief stood up and left angrily.

Wang Baoquan disagreed, so he went to talk to other people. He didn't believe that no one would agree. After all, except Wang Baoquan, everyone had the surname Wen.

“Brother, it’s not that I disagree.

It was Dalang’s wife who just came over and said that the wine was going to drain everyone’s food rations, so she came up with this idea on purpose.”

The village chief sneered:

"You believe everything she says. Don't you know what kind of person she is? Meijiu and her don't get along well. What good things can she say about her?

Recruiting a guard is my business and I agree with it. You can't say that I want to empty everyone's rations, right?"

“That’s unlikely.

But uncle, she also said, now that we have those little beggar uncles following us, we don’t have to spend money or provide food, isn’t this the best of both worlds?

Why are you arranging this matter? It's very troublesome."

Coming out of another house, the village chief felt helpless and disappointed.

The third one:

"Brother, our family is not easy either. Since the Meijiu family can support so many people, there is no need for us to rush to recruit a guard team, right?"

......

After walking a few times, the village chief was so angry that he went back and lay down.

By the time Wen Meijiu came to visit him, he was just gasping for breath.

"Grandpa, this is easy to handle. What they said is true. My family has food and can support those people."

The village chief sat up from the ground and said angrily:

"But we can't let you suffer this loss alone. After all, we are protecting everyone."

Wen Meijiu held his chin with his hand, looking at the bright moon in the night sky with a smile on his face.

"Then why don't we just protect our two families?"

It is said that the village chief is different from others. He is very responsible and takes the safety of his fellow villagers as his own responsibility. Even if others let him down, he does not want to abandon his people.

"That won't do. Our Wen family has been prosperous for generations, and the clan leader must not just pursue his own selfish interests and ignore others. Otherwise, our clan will decline within three generations, or even disappear."

Alas, the old man had a very strong sense of clannishness, and Wen Meijiu didn't know how to say anything in rebuttal. After thinking about it, he came up with an idea for the village chief.

This time, the village chief not only nodded repeatedly, but also praised her for being worthy of being the daughter of the old Wen family.

That night, no one slept well, each thinking about their own things.

On the next morning, when it was still dawn, Wen Meijiu woke up the family members one by one.

Prince Wang and the others were more alert and woke up automatically when they heard the noise without being called.

"I'm well rested and feeling pretty good. How about you?"

Jin Xiang likes to talk to Gu Junchu and makes small talk.

"I'm so sleepy. My whole body aches from sleeping so hard last night."

Gu Junchu touched his back. This was the most uncomfortable night he had felt since fleeing the famine.

"No way, let me see."

Wen Meijiu sent his family to sleep on the beds in the space in the middle of the night. The conditions were much better than outside, and they were naturally relaxing and comfortable.

"Forget it. It's so dirty lately. I'd better not watch it."

Gu Junchu was older than Jin Xiang, so he felt a little embarrassed and dodged Jin Xiang's hand.

"Kids, pack up and set off."

After shouting at the children, Wen Meijiu and his mother got busy.

Last night, Wen Meijiu and her mother baked a lot of pancakes, and this morning they distributed them to everyone for the journey.

You are soft-spoken to eat others, and short-handed to take advantage of others.

If the master wants to leave, Prince Wang will definitely follow, and Zhi Zheng and the others will naturally follow as well.

Wen Meijiu was afraid that the village chief's family was not well prepared, so he also gave some to the village chief's family.

The villagers who were awakened by the wheels of the carriage just opened their eyes and saw that the village chief and the Wenmei Restaurant’s carriage had left the resting place, and they couldn’t help but panic.

"Village Chief, why didn't you tell me in advance if you were leaving?"

Wang Baoquan was the first to get up and ran after the village chief's car without wearing shoes.

"Brother, I am old and my words are no longer effective. I will trouble you to take care of the villagers. I will leave first with the wine."

After saying this, the village chief got on the carriage without looking back and followed Wen Meijiu and his party onto the main road.

"Ah! What's going on? Didn't we agree to escape the famine together?"

"What does the village chief mean?"

"I don't know. It's early in the morning and I just opened my eyes and it's like this."

The rest of the people panicked. They quickly got up, put on their clothes, woke up their children, woke up their parents, and called their husbands or wives. The scene was in chaos.

It was just daybreak today. Yesterday's journey was tiring enough, and now things are getting even more difficult. It's simply unbearable.

But who can they blame?

Someone remembered that when the village chief left, he asked Wang Baoquan to take care of everyone, so they ran to him for advice.

"Brother, what do we do now?"

Wang Baoquan was also panic-stricken and had no idea what others would do.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Wang Baoquan was so angry that he started to yell at the person who came.

After getting angry, he thought about it and of course he could understand why.

When the village chief left, he didn't tell anyone except Wen Meijiu's family. It was obvious that the two families had discussed this in advance.

"She must be causing trouble again."

Wang Baoquan ran to the place where Ren Meiluo's family was resting, and saw that Dalang and Sanlang's family were all there, even the old lady.

"What does she mean?"

Wen Meijiu really left, which made the old Wen family feel panicked. They used to quarrel with Wen Meijiu, but now that she was gone, the people in the old Wen family felt uneasy.

"What do you mean, don't you dislike me?"

Dazhu retorted to Ren Meiluo in a bad mood. It seemed that Wang Baoquan here also had an unfriendly look in his eyes.

Dazhu obviously didn't like Wang Baoquan coming to their house. He got angry and quickly packed up his bag, put it on his shoulder, and said to Dalang:

"Dad, come with me, let's go chase some good wine."

Dalang was stunned for a moment, looked at Ren Meiluo, and nodded and responded.

Both the father and son carried their bags and were about to leave. Ren Meiluo panicked and hurried to follow them.

The old lady grumbled and started to curse Wen Meijiu again:

"She left without telling me. Doesn't she know her ancestors are still here?"

Although Ma Hui couldn't figure out what Wen Meijiu was up to, she knew that Wen Meijiu would not abandon them.

"Mom, let's clean up quickly and keep up with the wine."

While she was helping Yuanbao put clothes on, she was comforting the old lady.

Everyone at Wenmei Restaurant had to follow, and Wang Baoquan also hurried back to pack up his own things.

On the way, he was surrounded by several old friends asking for advice. He was also very annoyed, but he had to save face and said:

"Just go back and pack your things and follow me. Why are you asking so many questions?"

After hearing what he said, everyone hurried back to pack up their things.

While waiting for the team here to set off, Wen Meijiu and the village chief's team had already walked more than a hundred meters away, and there was a distance between them.

This sudden attack not only caught the villagers off guard, but also made the group of strong men sit up in shock in their dreams, and they had to crawl to barely keep up.
