Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren

The Liu family's yard suddenly became chaotic, and all family members were terrified by the scene before them.

The next morning, the news spread throughout the village and even further afield.

Village chief Liu, oh no, now we should call him Liu Dashu, fell down due to a stroke.

After learning about this, the villagers in Darongzhuang were talking about it. Everyone felt very sorry and curious about the sudden collapse of Village Chief Liu.

The new village director was named Liu Daming. As soon as he took office, he couldn't wait to come to Qingliu Village with a lot of gifts.

The smile on his face was so big that it could almost drip.

Seeing the new village director's fawning look, the villagers present felt unhappy and their eyes were filled with contempt.

Although the current village chief's expression was relatively calm and he did not show excessive enthusiasm, he also maintained due courtesy and gently but firmly declined the generous gift.

Seeing the obvious disappointment on the other person's face, Liu Daming also knew that no good thing could be achieved overnight.

Therefore, I had no choice but to say that we should strengthen communication and take care of each other in the future.

After some polite exchanges, he left reluctantly.

Looking at Liu Daming's receding figure, Zhao Chunhua curled her lips slightly and turned to the people around her and said, "Look at the appearance of those people in their village. They are really a bit contemptible."

"It's better for us to have less dealings with people like this in the future, otherwise one day I might really spit in their backs."

The other villagers around also nodded in agreement and reached a consensus with each other.

In fact, every village has its own specific code of conduct and customs, and there are some unpleasant stories about Xinghuazhuang circulating in this place.

It is said that there live many people who love to climb up the social ladder and pursue fame and fortune.

While the new village chief might not be a villain, some of the residents who were eager to drive him out from the beginning were not very noble either.

After considering various complex factors, Qingliu Manor finally decided to continue to maintain a certain distance. Avoiding the encounter is of course the best option.

At this moment, the issue that everyone is most concerned about is Mrs. Zhou’s current physical condition.

As the weather gets colder, it becomes increasingly difficult to collect pine cones in the mountains.

So everyone often gathered together to roast fire and chat, and at the same time discussed whether to arrange for someone to go to the city to see her.

However, just when everyone had not decided on the candidate, news came that Sun Wan had woken up.

This time, thanks to soaking in the magical spring water for quite a long time, her health condition has improved significantly.

At least now I don’t feel dizzy anytime and anywhere like before. Instead, I can barely support my body and sit for a while.

In recent days, the General's Mansion has also begun to implement stricter rules and regulations.

The number of guards standing in front of the door has decreased a lot, and instead, there are several servants and maids busy coming in and out of the mansion.

After learning about this situation, Su Yang took the initiative to introduce these people to Sun Wan.

He said that these were people specially sent here by the Huizhou prefect to help take care of affairs.

After hearing this name, Sun Wan couldn't help but become interested.

"During my escape, I had heard many times that the Huizhou prefect was indeed extremely capable and had made outstanding contributions."

"It seems that the situation here is stable and peaceful now, and a large part of the credit goes to that gentleman."

After listening to Sun Wan's sigh, Su Yang smiled and replied, "Yes, you are absolutely right."

He gently touched Sun Wan's hand and felt that her hand was still cold. He frowned and put Sun Wan's cold hand into his warm arms without hesitation.

Seeing that no one around them paid any attention to them, especially the maids who had already left, Sun Wan quickly withdrew her hand, her face flushed, and she whispered awkwardly, "We are already an old married couple. It's broad daylight now. It would be embarrassing for others to see you like this."

However, Su Yang didn't care about her words. He grabbed Sun Wan's hand and stuffed it back into his clothes to keep warm. He said casually, "What's the big deal? They're just an old couple, so what?"

"Even twenty years from now, I'd still be happy to be your human hot water bottle."

He added with a smile.

Hearing Su Yang say this, although feeling shy, Sun Wan was still amused by his words, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Seeing his wife smile happily because of his words, Su Yang's mood also became more cheerful.

So he began to talk to Sun Wan about some things about the Huizhou prefect.

"Speaking of this new Huizhou prefect, we really have a connection. We've met several times before."

"This official's name is Gu Cheng, courtesy name Yanzhi. He is a sincere man and is capable and competent in his work."

After hearing her husband's evaluation of the prefect, Sun Wan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Indeed, only such a down-to-earth and hardworking person can be relied upon. Unlike that extremely confused county magistrate in our hometown, who makes people so worried."

"That fellow, driven by his own selfish desires, disregarded his integrity and forcibly abducted the daughter of the White Scarf Army commander, causing unrest in Jizhou."

Hearing this, Su Yang showed some surprise.

Sun Wan, who was very sensitive to this, asked curiously, "Why? Did I say something wrong?"

Su Yang suddenly looked into Sun Wan's eyes seriously and asked, "How did you know that the former Jizhou official forcibly took the daughter of the White Scarf Army leader?"

Faced with her husband's sudden question, Sun Wan paused slightly, the image of the source of this information emerging in her mind, and a strange emotion suddenly surged in her heart...

This is something that happened in the previous life, but looking at the current situation, it seems that this thing has not happened in this life?

Although she felt a little uneasy, Sun Wan tried to remain calm and explained, "There's really no special reason. I just stumbled upon this secret history while we were hiding from the war. Could it be that it doesn't really exist?"

Su Yang's expression became quite complicated.

He shook his head in denial at first, then nodded affirmatively: "Yes, what you said does exist in history."

"However, that attempt was unsuccessful."

He then frowned slightly and continued, "I remember a mysterious person told me where the leader was hiding, so I led my brothers to raid and rescue him. Not only did we successfully disrupt the enemy's plan, we even managed to bring their leader's daughter out safely."

"However, the situation was extremely dangerous and tense at the time. We could have almost captured that corrupt bureaucrat in the wilderness. Unfortunately, his men were exceptionally skilled in martial arts and, taking advantage of the chaos at night, defeated the guards and escaped."
