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

Thinking about their future life, Shen Jiaojiao no longer refused. After all, they really needed the money now...

Village chief Shen was thinking more. He wanted to tell the news to the villagers, but he was afraid that the gossips in the village would spread the news outside. If those who were planning a rebellion found out, their entire village would be destroyed.

But if the villagers don't prepare early, they will die too.

This is how to do?

As the head of the village, he has the responsibility to protect the lives of the villagers.

Yu Ruyue noticed the hesitation in Village Chief Shen's heart and reminded him, "The grain tax is due soon. Why don't you get everyone together and go to the town to buy some food to prepare for the tax?"

"If we act together, perhaps the price can be lowered even further."

Village Chief Shen's eyes immediately lit up. "Yes! This is a good idea. It won't leak the news, and it will also allow them to store more food!"

Just do it!

Village chief Shen immediately took Shen Jiaojiao back to make preparations.

After everyone left, Yu Ruyue was the only one left in the room. She raised her hand again and touched her lower abdomen.

I can't believe there's a little life in there.

Moreover, it was her and Shen Zhiheng's child...

Shen Zhiheng, her Shen Zhiheng, will never come back...

When Yu Ruyue thought of the hatred and disgust in Shen Chou's eyes before he fainted, her heart felt like it was being stabbed and bent down by someone.

The Shen Zhiheng who was willing to believe in her unconditionally and love her is gone...

This Shen Chou only had hatred for her.

If he were to come out, he would probably have to turn her into a human pig to relieve his hatred...

Yu Ruyue touched her belly again and again, and she was actually a little unsure whether she should keep the child.

In fact, from a rational point of view, she is young, and she will have to live a life of displacement in the future. Pregnancy and childbirth will increase her chances of death.

However, emotionally, she was reluctant to let go. This was her first child, and it was also hers with Shen Zhiheng. They had been so cautious, but this child still came. Wasn't this a gift from God?!

Yu Ruyue sighed, "My baby, tell me what I should choose..."

Yu Ruyue lay on the kang, her head full of mixed thoughts, and finally fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already dark.

Moreover, the noise outside was so chaotic that it made her feel annoyed.

"Dad! Mom! Are you back?"

"What's that noise outside?"

Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan heard the noise in the house and hurried in.

"Ruyue! Are you awake?"

"We've already bought the things and loaded them into the car. Put all the things in the house and the Shen family's things into the storage space! We have to leave quickly."

Yu Ruyue rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Why are you so anxious? I wanted you to have a good sleep tonight and set off tomorrow morning."

Liang Shulan shook her head. "It's too late. Chunju just came over with a message. The Lu County government office was stormed by refugees, and even their Li Mansion was nearly robbed."

"The whole county is in chaos now."

"I heard there's a large force behind us, and they're clearly organized and premeditated. After they've robbed the county town, they'll probably come to the village."

Yu Ruyue was shocked. "What?! Lu County is in chaos first?"

"What about Liuzhou Prefecture?"

Yu Dehou sighed, "I don't know what's going on over there, but if these people are truly organized and have a premeditated plan, I suspect they're trying to divert attention."

"If there's any commotion here, Liuzhou Prefecture will send people over to investigate. Then it will be much easier for them to attack the government office."

Yu Ruyue quickly stood up and put away everything in the house that could be stored.

Then quickly put on your shoes and go out.

Outside, all the villagers were in a hurry. They didn't expect that after they went to the county with the village chief to buy food, the county was in chaos.

Moreover, the village chief said that this chaos will continue and asked everyone to leave together.

This is where their ancestors have lived for generations. How could they just leave like that?

Many people gathered at the village chief's house, debating how to respond. Could they possibly stay? After all, they were just refugees, and perhaps the government would soon send someone to suppress them.

Yu Ruyue didn’t know what these people were thinking. If she knew, she would only sigh at their naiveté.

Even after the natural disaster, the government did not send anyone to help the villagers rebuild.

What's more, they can hardly protect themselves now, how can they care about the people?

Even if they really thought of it, I'm afraid it's time to conscript young men to die.

Yu Ruyue walked through the crowd and came to the Shen family. When the door opened, a familiar feeling came over her.

She hurried into the house and pushed open the door of the east room, but did not see the person she was thinking about.

She looked at the house with fondness, touched her belly with a smile, and said, "My dear, this is the house where your father used to live."

"There are traces of your father's life in there. Let's take these things away, okay?"

After Yu Ruyue finished speaking, she waved her hand and put all the things in the room into the space, then she came to the west room and put all the things into the space as well.

When she returned to Yu's house, she saw Chunju just coming out of the kitchen.

She quickly walked over and asked, "Chun Ju! How are your young lady and young master?"

"Don't worry! The young lady and the young master are both fine. However, the young lady was very worried about you, so she sent me here to help. Pack your things and come with me. The young lady is waiting for you."

Yu Ruyue nodded, "Okay!"

So they packed up and prepared to leave, but as soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they were stopped by the Shu family.

The tree lady hesitated and said, "Um, Ruyue, can we go with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jiaojiao came after her with bags full of things, "And me! Please don't leave me behind, I have to be with Ruyue."

Village chief Shen was originally trying to persuade the villagers to leave with him, but these people were completely unmoved and refused to leave no matter what he said.

Even those who did not go to the county to buy things today began to blame him.

"Village chief, did you know something like this would happen? That's why you went to the county to buy food?"

"Why didn't you just say it? If you had said it directly, would we not have followed you?"

"Our food supply won't last for more than a few days. As the village chief, shouldn't you be responsible?"

Village Chief Shen looked at his daughter's back as she walked further and further away and spat harshly.

"I'm the village chief, not your father. What responsibility do I have for you?"

"Everyone from Hexi and Hedong villages, listen carefully. I believe I have done all I can for you. If you still insist on staying, then you will just stay in the village and wait for death."

After he said that, he drove the donkey cart he had just bought and hurried after his daughter.

The remaining villagers were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Is this still the honest and kind village chief from before?

How could you say such a thing?

However, as they watched the village chief's back getting farther and farther away, they began to wonder in their hearts, could it be that things will get even more chaotic in the future?

Thinking of this, some more people joined the team following the village chief.

Yu Ruyue looked at the growing group behind her and sighed, "Forget it, I'd better meet up with your young lady first."

"In these troubled times, perhaps having more people is a good thing."

When they arrived at the agreed location in a grand procession, they saw several carriages parked there.

The curtain of the carriage closest to them suddenly opened, and Lin Yihao jumped down from it with an anxious look on his face.
