The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Yu Ruyue passed through a small door and went to the noodle factory next door alone. Looking at the ground full of grain and gold, she waved her hand and put them all into the space.

Then he found the warehouse where noodles were stored and put all the dried noodles and instant noodles in it into the space, leaving half of the white flour.

After doing all this, she went through the small door again and returned to her home.

"Alright! Dad! Have Qin Haowen and the others move the remaining food from the noodle factory."

Although Yu Dehou didn't know what his daughter was going to do, he still did as she said.

When the Yu family’s door opened, the villagers saw Yu Ruyue with a pale face.

The aunt who had been yelling fiercely suddenly stopped.

However, the time for paying grain taxes was getting closer. If anyone failed to pay, the men in the family would be taken away to work illegally or join the army.

They really had no choice but to gather at the door of Yu Ruyue's house.

"Um~ Ruyue... Why did the noodle factory just close down? Those officers were so aggressive when they came over!"

"They just sealed the gate of our factory with a seal."

"Have you encountered any difficulties? Tell us and we can solve it together. Can this noodle factory continue to employ us?"

Yu Ruyue looked at the anxious faces in front of her and sighed, "I sold this noodle factory to the county magistrate."

"I'm sorry for not telling you in advance."

"But the situation is urgent, so this is the only option."

"But don't worry. When I recruited you to work here, I told you that the agreement we signed not only protects our rights, but also yours."

"Because of my reasons, I will unilaterally fire you. I will compensate you for two months' wages based on your current wages."

"These two months' wages are enough for you to pay the grain tax."

When the women heard this, they immediately shook the hands of the people next to them with joy and said, "My daily wage is 20 coins. In two months, won't that compensate me more than one or two taels of silver?"

"This money is enough to buy more than 200 kilograms of brown rice, which is definitely enough to pay the taxes!"

Yu Ruyue looked at their happy expressions and a smile appeared on her face.

"Since you've followed me for so long, I'll give you two choices: one is to ask for money, and the other is to exchange the money for noodles."

"The price of white flour outside has reached fifty or sixty coins per pound now. I can sell it to you at 30 coins, which is even cheaper than before."

These people, looking at the flour and boxes of silver next to them, immediately became worried.

In fact, it would be most appropriate to exchange all the money for flour, but the people who collect taxes don’t accept flour at all, they only accept grain.

So everyone fell into deep thought and said they wanted to go home and discuss it.

Yu Ruyue nodded and asked them to go back and discuss it before coming back.

Then, he said to Liang Shulan, "Mom! Call over the people who make school bags and serve food."

Liang Shulan nodded and immediately went to call someone.

When everyone came over, Yu Ruyue repeated what she had just said to them.

They were shocked when they heard this.

"Ruyue! What's wrong with you? Can't you just live like this? Why don't you sell anything?"

"Have those old pedants come to your doorstep to scold you again? Next time they come, find the aunts. We can do the same as two of them and scold them until they lose their minds."

"Who says it's not true? It's not your fault, kids. Why are they holding you captive? Tell me, where do those old men live? Let your aunts go and avenge you."

Yu Ruyue smiled and soothed them, "Aunts! I know you all mean well, but there's no need to go. I've already decided to take my whole family and move south, away from this sad place."

"Aunts have been with me for so long, I can't let you suffer any loss. Let's discuss, do you want silver or face?"

When the women in the village heard this, they were all shocked. "What? Moving the whole family to the south?"

"Ruyue! Did some gossipy woman in the village say something unpleasant?"

"Tell us, and we'll go and settle the score with you."

The four members of the Yu family were also shocked when they heard this. When did they decide to move to the south?

Is pregnancy such a big shock to my daughter?

Liang Shulan couldn't help but ask, "My dear, tell me, has anyone been gossiping about you? Tell me, and I'll beat them so hard they won't even recognize their own mother."

Yu Dehou was also distressed, "My dear daughter! Tell me! Dad will definitely support you."

Yu Ruyue smiled and patted her parents' hands. "Don't worry, no one is gossiping about me!"

"Don't worry, aunties!"

"If you really can't decide, go home and discuss it with your family."

"Oh right! I don't have much white flour left, so let's limit each person to 5 kilograms!"

Seeing that Yu Ruyue was determined to leave, these people didn't say anything more and went back to discuss it.

When they came back, almost everyone bought five kilograms of flour.

After all, they calculated that if they exchanged white flour for coarse flour, they could get back more than 30 kilograms of coarse flour, which would be enough to last them a while longer.

The remaining money, plus what they had earned before, was enough to pay the grain tax.

Yu Ruyue handed over the task of weighing the noodles to Yu Tian, and the task of paying the noodles to Yu Shi.

He Hua and a few others helped on the side.

Yu Ruyue watched Yu Shi use a pair of scissors specially used for cutting silver to cut the silver ingots into small pieces, and then weigh them on a scale.

Soon the box of silver ingots was divided up.

Yu Ruyue looked at the long line behind her and only hoped that her actions today would allow them all to survive!

After everything was done, she gathered everyone into the house and said straight to the point: "This country! I'm afraid it's going to be in chaos."

what?

Everyone present was shocked.

The country of North Korea is actually going to be in chaos!!!

Yu Ruyue recounted everything she had seen and heard in Liuzhou Prefecture.

Everyone then realized that there seemed to be early signs of chaos in the country.

For example, during those two natural disasters, many people were displaced, but the government did nothing and just let it go...

If Yu Ruyue had not been there in Hedong Village and Hexi Village, they might have been starving and naked, and would have gone south begging for food like those refugees.

Besides, winter is coming soon. If the roads are blocked by heavy snow, we will just be waiting to die. It is better to run to the south while it is not cold. Even eating tree bark can help us live a little longer.

This is also the reason why people in the north have to run south.

Yu Dehou thought for a moment and then asked directly, "When are we leaving?"
