I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

After saying that, regardless of Ma's eyes almost popping out, she turned around and waved to Shufan and Pan'er at the kitchen door, "Come with me into the house, grandma will get you something delicious!"

The original body would always refuse, but Jiang Qinyu was not that stupid. She nodded to the two children and said, "Go ahead. Remember to thank grandma."

The two children's eyes lit up, and after nodding vigorously, they followed Chen to the main house.

Ma gnashed her teeth in hatred and slapped Lu Yancai on the arm. "Where did Tianbao go? Doesn't he know that only his family can have enough food?"

What he meant was that he wanted Lu Tianbao to come back and have some food.

Lu Yancai didn't want to stay at home anymore. He jumped up and muttered, "I'll go find him now..." In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Ma also limped back to their room and glared at Jiang Qinyu fiercely when she closed the door.

Jiang Qinyu didn't bother to pay attention to her because she heard the familiar sound of a gong.

"I guess the village chief has something important to say. Let's go and take a look." Old Man Lu greeted Jiang Qinyu, then walked out with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Qinyu raised her eyebrows, wondering what the village chief would choose.

All the people from Dingshui Village came under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

"Everyone, listen to me," the village chief raised his hands and pressed them down. "You heard what Lu Yanzheng's family said just now. Fleeing from the famine is indeed not our best option right now. So, I have decided to stay!"

Jiang Qinyu was very surprised. She didn't expect the village chief to express his opinion directly.

What surprised her even more was that as soon as the village chief finished speaking, many people echoed him.

"My family has decided to stay too! After all, our ancestral tablets are still in the village ancestral hall. How can we just flee the famine?"

"We'll stay too! Lu Yanzheng's family is right. The bandits from Qinggang Mountain robbed us, so we'll take it back! With food, we can always hold on until God opens his eyes!"

"My family listens to the village chief. If he wants us to stay, then we'll stay..."

For a moment, everyone under the big locust tree spoke up, and most of them wanted to stay.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang immediately became anxious and shouted, "Everyone, don't listen to Lu Yanzheng's nonsense. If we don't flee the famine, we will starve to death! You don't really want to rob the bandits on Qinggang Mountain, do you? They will kill people!"

The word "murder" entered everyone's ears. The timid ones opened their eyes wide with fear, and more people began to waver, wondering whether they should stay or not.

Seeing that some people were wavering, Mrs. Wang quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "If we leave now, we can still catch up with the people from Xiahe Village. They haven't been robbed by the bandits from Qinggang Mountain, so they definitely have food. We can trade with them and there will always be a way to survive..."

"Heh!" Jiang Qinyu couldn't help but sneered.

Mrs. Wang looked at her unhappily and said sarcastically, "What are you laughing at? You don't really think you can steal the food from Qinggang Mountain, do you?"

Jiang Qinyu didn't even look at her. Instead, she looked at the others and asked, "People are treacherous, especially in troubled times. Aren't you afraid that the people of Xiahe Village will gang up on you and rob you?"

What she said was all an exaggeration. In the original owner's memory, in the previous life, it was the people of Xiahe Village who pushed the people of Dinghe Village in front of the bandits to block their knives, which led to heavy casualties in Dinghe Village.

The belongings left by the dead were divided among the people of Xiahe Village, while the remaining people of Dinghe Village were driven away from the team.

Everyone looked at each other, and some of them thought of some possibilities and immediately decided to stay.

"Hey, you guys..." Mrs. Wang stamped her feet anxiously, "Don't listen to her nonsense! After all, we've been fellow villagers for decades. The people of Xiahe Village won't treat us like that!"

Someone opened his mouth and rushed towards Wang Pozi, "Your daughter married into Xiahe Village, so of course you said that. We don't have any relatives in Xiahe Village. People who flee famine are treacherous. Who can guarantee that they will be the same after they leave the village?"

Jiang Qinyu looked up and was a little surprised. The person who spoke was Aunt Qin, who lived next door to the Lu family.

Aunt Qin is a somewhat contradictory person. Sometimes she has a close relationship with the Lu family, and sometimes she gets along with Mrs. Wang. Unexpectedly, she is willing to stand up and point out Mrs. Wang's selfish motives. It seems that she has really thought about the interests of this matter.

Mrs. Wang was so embarrassed by this that she said stubbornly, "I'm doing this for your own good. Don't be so ungrateful!"

"What are you arguing about?" The village chief hated troublemakers and glared at Mrs. Wang. "If you want to stay, stay. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. But this concerns the life and death of an entire family, so you should think about it carefully!"

After saying this, the village chief looked at Jiang Qinyu intentionally or unintentionally and said, "Since we have decided to stay, we can't just sit and wait to die. I thought Lu Yanzheng's family was going to Qinggang Mountain to rob food. I think it's not impossible, but how exactly are we going to rob it?"

The village chief frowned, feeling uneasy. He had no choice but to make this decision.

Because their family had dug a cellar and stored some food, they could hold on for a while, but other families in the village had no food. Several families had all their food robbed. They had been borrowing food from everywhere to survive these two days. If they didn't take back what was robbed, they would surely starve to death.

But the young and strong labor force in Dinghe Village is only half of that in Qinggang Mountain. Even if we try to rob them, it is unlikely to succeed.

The village chief thought about it and looked directly at Jiang Qinyu.

She must be extraordinary to be able to take her niece away from the human traffickers by herself. She should also be able to think of a way to steal food, right?

Jiang Qinyu knew that if she didn't come up with a feasible plan at this time, these people would still choose to flee the famine.

So, she cleared her throat, took a few big steps onto the straw platform, and said to everyone, "Everyone knows that we don't have as many people as the bandits in Qinggang Mountain, so we can't rob them by force, we can only use our wits to defeat them..."

That night, all the young and strong laborers in Dingshui Village were mobilized, led by the village chief Li Cunliang, and headed towards Qinggang Mountain under the cover of darkness.

As the initiator of the incident, Jiang Qinyu naturally followed along, but tonight she was dressed in men's clothes and followed Village Chief Li.

"Lu Yanzheng's family, do you really want to go with us to explore the way?" Village Chief Li disapproved and confirmed with Jiang Qinyu again.

Jiang Qinyu nodded. "I'm small and thin, so it's easier for me to hide in their village. I can go find where they store their food first."

"Old Lu, do you agree to let her go?" Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Village Chief Li asked Old Man Lu on the other side.

Old Man Lu still hadn't reacted to Jiang Qinyu's change of heart, but thinking of what she had done today, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Listen to her. Besides, women are very careful. If we can find it in advance, it can save a lot of trouble."

The fighting power of Dingshui Village is obviously not enough. If they want to successfully rob food, they can only catch Qinggang Mountain off guard. However, this surprise attack does not mean a direct confrontation like a fool. It also requires planning and tactics.
