Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Lin Yinan was drowsy in the carriage. She resisted the urge to sleep and asked Yun Mo about the two extra carriages behind him.

"What your second uncle gave you is full of it."

Yun Mo chuckled, remembering what the secret guard said, "They are all worthless things, but it's good enough that Second Aunt can give them."

Given the Yun family's situation, Lin Yinan didn't expect Yun Zhenchuan to be generous. She yawned and said, "We don't need this."

Seeing that she was really sleepy, Yun Mo reached out and held her, letting her rest her head on his shoulder so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Lin Yinan did not refuse. During the days she stayed in the Yun Mansion, she knew that every night after she fell asleep, Yun Mo would sneak up on her and hug her to sleep. She just pretended not to know.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived at the city gate.

It was already daybreak, but the city gates were still not open.

Walking in the front were Luo Shouxin, who was dressed as a businessman, and several secret guards, as well as two carts of grain that were pulled out from the Fan Mansion's granary yesterday afternoon.

"Who are you? The city gates are under martial law. No one is allowed to leave the city without special permission!"

The leader of the officers and soldiers drew his knife and pointed it at Luo Shouxin's convoy. A dozen officers and soldiers guarding the city lined up in a row, holding shining knives in their hands.

Luo Shouquan got off the carriage, glanced at Yun Mo and the others behind him, and quickly took out a document with the seal of the Fan Mansion from his sleeve and handed it to the head of the management team along with a bulging purse.

His face was full of humility and flattery, "Sir, we are transporting grain from the Fan Mansion."

Upon hearing this, the chief did not bother to look at the purse in his hand. He took the document and unfolded it. After reading it, he looked Luo Shouxin up and down, and then waved his hand to the other officers and soldiers behind him.

"Go to the car and check if the items match."

The officers and soldiers checked and found nothing unusual, and quickly came back to report, "Sir, it is consistent with the records."

The leader waved his hand at the soldiers at the side door, "Let them pass!"

The small door on the side of the city gate slowly opened, and the side door was only wide enough for one carriage to pass through. After Luo Shouxin's convoy went out, the city gate was closed again.

As time passed, more and more people gathered at the city gate to leave the city, and the city gate gradually became noisy.

Suddenly, a carriage came quickly from the inner city and stopped in front of the leader of the soldiers guarding the city.

Yun Xiangdong jumped off the carriage and helped Yun Zhenchuan, who was wearing official uniform, down from the carriage.

I don’t know what Yun Zhenchuan said to the leader of the soldiers, but the leader of the soldiers kept looking in the direction of the Yun family’s carriage.

A moment later, Yun Xiangdong walked to the carriage leading the team led by Yun Mo, bowed and said, "Third Master Yun, please follow me out of the city."

The carriage went straight to the side door which was opened again. Yun Mo lifted the curtain and nodded slightly to Yun Zhenchuan.

Not long after leaving the city, Lin Yinan woke up slowly. She could hear clearly what happened at the city gate in a daze. She was not far from the village.

"Why can't I see my brother-in-law's carriage?"

"He wants to divert the Fan family's tail, so he will return to the manor in the afternoon or evening at the earliest," said Yun Mo.

"If we kill the head of the Fan family, will your second uncle still cooperate with them?"

Yun Zhenchuan is a man with little courage in doing things, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not join another aristocratic family.

Yun Mo looked at the thriving rice fields outside, his eyes filled with disappointment. "We'll know after seeing how he handles this time."

As the two chatted, the carriage slowly drove into the farm.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are right and wrong.

Lin Yinan was still in the car and could hear the bustling sounds on the open space of the village from a long distance away.

Yun Mo helped her over and saw that the open space was surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside.

"Aunt, what happened?" Lin Yinan asked Aunt Li who was standing outside.

Aunt Li turned around and saw that it was Lin Yinan. She immediately smiled happily, "Anan, you're back!"

After saying that, she even shouted to the other side of the crowd, "Aunt Zhao, Shulan, Anan is back!"

Aunt Li was a stout woman with a loud voice. Her howl quieted the crowd and they all turned their heads to look behind them.

Old Mrs. Zhao, Li Shulan and Zhang pushed through the crowd, walked up to Lin Yinan, took her hands affectionately, and looked her up and down.

"Well, you've lost weight. Is it because you didn't eat well in the Yun Mansion?" Old Mrs. Zhao frowned and scolded her unhappily.

"Grandma, I ate them all." Lin Yinan pleaded for himself.

Li Shulan's eyes were red. "The face hasn't gained any weight, but the belly has grown a lot. The baby must be making a lot of noise."

"Mom, what are all these people doing here?"

Lin Yinan was still not used to everyone's attention being focused on her, so she quickly changed the subject.

Just as Mrs. Zhao was about to complain, Lin Yiheng and the clan leader came over.

"Anan, you're back at the right time. Some people in the village are clamoring to share the public money. They want to stay in Nanzhou Prefecture. You and Yun Mo have just come out of the city and are familiar with Nanzhou Prefecture. You can give us some advice." The clan leader was very worried. They had walked such a long way together, but they had to go their separate ways when they reached the end.

Lin Yinan and his wife were pulled into the crowd by the clan leader.

"Brother, what's going on?" Lin Yinan took the opportunity to ask Lin Yiheng.

Lin Yiheng frowned and said, "Yu Suqin has been chatting with the village manager these days and has learned some information about Nanzhou Prefecture. Yu Suqin has decided not to leave with the village and wants to stay. The clan leader said that we are all from the same village and have gone through many hardships to get here. When we settle down in the future, we will rebuild a ancestral hall for our Linjia Village and install the ancestral tablets."

When he heard Yu Suqin's family, Yun Mo's eyes turned slightly cold. It was this woman and her daughter who were causing trouble for An Nan everywhere.

He said in a cold voice, "The hearts of those who have different intentions are no longer here. They can't be kept no matter what. It will be more conducive to the unity of the remaining people if they leave. Chief, don't you think so?"

"Then give them the share of the silver that belongs to their family." The clan leader was no longer obsessed with everything being neat and tidy.

Yun Mo, "No, everyone, go away. Those who want to leave should pack up and leave immediately. Whether they live or die in the future has nothing to do with us. We will take those who are willing to stay and set off for Nanman Prefecture tomorrow."

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away." Hearing him say this, the patriarch's brows relaxed a lot.

Soon, the clan leader brought out a dozen young men from the village and carried out the box containing the public silver. The village leader had a painful expression on his face and struck the gong vigorously with his hands.

The villagers of Linjia Village fell silent again. The village chief cleared his throat and said, "Let's divide the public money now. Everyone can stay or leave voluntarily. Those who don't want to follow us after receiving the money can pack up and leave immediately. For those who are willing to leave, we will go to our final destination this time - Nanman Prefecture tomorrow."

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, the crowd exploded and the villagers began to talk.

After one stick of incense, the village chief took out the list and said, "Except for the money we got on the way, each family can get 35 taels of silver from the public treasury. Now, I will call out the names. Those whose names are called, please come forward to receive the silver."
