In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

"Our family is willing to seek refuge with my second sister-in-law."

Gu Baozhu held Dazhuang in her arms and was the first to stand up and support Xia Wanwan's decision.

"Our family is willing too."

Li Dongmei quickly stood up as well.

Next came Wu Yonggui's family, Uncle Wang's family, and even the village chief made a decision after some ideological struggle.

Only a few families have not come forward yet.

They were hesitant.

"What's going on with you three families? Don't you want to leave together and hide?"

The village chief looked at the Xu family living by the river, the Chen family to the east, and another Luo family. Seeing that they had not made a decision, he walked over and asked.

"We...we don't want to leave."

Sister Xu was struggling internally. She thought about her two children at home, as well as her parents-in-law and grandparents. She felt that a woman like her could not take care of so many people, so she did not want to leave.

Most of the strong men in the village had basically joined the army, and many of them had not been heard from for several years. Everyone had guessed the ending, and the same was true for her man.

She is the only one who takes care of the family now. The four elderly people are not very mobile. If they move a big house, she won’t be able to take so many people with her.

"Sister Xu! Can you tell me why?"

Xia Wanwan had a very good impression of Sister Xu. She worked hard and the family depended on her for their livelihood, so sometimes when she collected mushrooms from her, she would secretly give her some extra money.

"I... I have too many people at home. I have to take care of the elderly and children by myself. I really can't leave."

Sister Xu was helpless, it wasn't that she didn't want to leave with them.

Every time Xia Wanwan bought mushrooms from her, she gave her extra money. She knew this, so how could she not believe her?

"I knew this was your reason. Don't worry about your family having too many elderly people. Give one to my family to lead, and one to Baozhu's family. The other two can go to the village chief's family and Dongmei's family as well. In short, no one from the entire village should be left behind."

When Xia Wanwan thought of this reason, she had already made an allocation in her mind.

"Okay, I'm willing to follow you."

When Sister Xu saw that her worries were resolved, she smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"Are your two families worried about the same thing as Sister Xu?"

Seeing that Sister Xu's situation was resolved, Xia Wanwan then looked at the Chen and Luo families.

The situations of their two families are similar to that of Sister Xu's family, but much better, because they have no grandparents, only parents-in-law, and they have one more child.

But the children are physically strong, so there is no need to worry about them falling behind.

"Yes."

The two families nodded and looked at Xia Wanwan expectantly, "Wanwan! Can you assign an elderly person to go out with us? There are so many children at home, and we have to carry so many things that we can't take care of them all."

"That's no problem. Uncle Wu's family can get one, and other families with men can also get an elderly person." Xia Wanwan suddenly realized that she seemed to have abused the village chief's power, so she looked at the village chief with a smile and explained, "Well, village chief, I..."

The village chief knew what she was going to say, so he waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I know what you are going to say. Just do whatever you want to do. As long as it's for the good of the villagers, I don't care what you do."

The village chief has a broad vision, is very tolerant, and is wholeheartedly dedicated to the people. Xia Wanwan respects him for this.

"What's going on with your three families?"

The village chief came to Aunt Luo and looked at the two families standing side by side with her. He more or less knew the reason in his heart, but he still asked patiently.

"I don't believe Xia Wanwan's lies about predicting a torrential downpour. It's laughable. You're the only ones rushing to try to curry favor with her. Didn't she just give you something and win everyone over? Last time, she let the bandits in, and although they didn't do anything, it hasn't been long now, and now she's letting the entire village leave with her. How could such a coincidence happen? I don't believe she doesn't have a conspiracy."

After Aunt Luo finished speaking, she glanced at Xia Wanwan with contempt, then sneered, "I'm not going to waste time here with you. I'm going home to eat."

After saying that, she turned around and walked away arrogantly.

"It's the same with both of your families?"

The village chief couldn't do anything about Aunt Luo, so he decided to stop caring about her and looked at the other two families.

"We...we won't leave either."

The two families spoke with some melancholy, half believing and half doubting what Xia Wanwan said.

Mainly because they saw so many people believed in her, their hearts gradually wavered.

"It's okay, you guys go home and think about it first."

Xia Wanwan noticed their change and didn't try to persuade them. Instead, she looked at the other villagers and said loudly, "Go home now and pack your things. Go to the bridge and wait. When everyone is gathered, we will all leave together."

She had already decided where to take refuge. When she was picking mushrooms, she found a large cave that could easily accommodate hundreds of people. Moreover, there was no landslide on that mountain, so she could stay there for a night without any worries.

After hearing what Xia Wanwan said, everyone obediently went home and started packing up.

"Mom, let's go pack our things too."

Xia Wanwan saw that everyone had left, leaving only her and Gu Baozhu at home.

"Okay, Mom will go pack up first."

After Tang Guifang finished speaking, she went into the house.

"Second sister-in-law! Then we should go back and pack our things."

Gu Baozhu tugged at Zhao Ziyang beside her, hoping he could say something before leaving.

Zhao Ziyang looked at Xia Wanwan, hesitating for a long time, then bowed to her and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, second sister-in-law, I was such a jerk before and did something that hurt you. Please forgive me."

Xia Wanwan always had an indescribable anger in her heart, and this anger seemed to come from the previous owner.

After hearing Zhao Ziyang's apology, the anger suddenly disappeared inexplicably.

I guess the original owner was also waiting for this moment of apology.

Xia Wanwan thought of what she had said to Gu Baozhu when she saved Zhao Ziyang, so she asked, "Baozhu! Do you remember when I saved Ziyang, I asked you a request? Now I need you to do something with me."

"remember."

Gu Baozhu nodded, always remembering it in her heart.

"You two, come with me."

Xia Wanwan looked at the three children beside her and waved to them, "Dabao, Erbao, Xiaobao, come over and follow your mother."

"Okay mother."

The three children stopped playing and walked towards her obediently.

Xia Wanwan brought a few people to the hillside behind a hundred meters away. There was a newly built grave there at some unknown time. There was a wooden tombstone on it, but there was no name on it.

"Second sister-in-law! Why did you bring us here? No one has died in our village recently~"

The moment Zhao Ziyang saw the grave, he shuddered all over.

Especially when it gets dark and there is still a breeze, the eerie feeling makes people shudder.
