I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

Chapter 80 The village chief decided to flee the famine together

"We can first gather the villagers together and explain the situation clearly to everyone," Liu Yingcai suggested. "As long as we tell them the truth, the villagers will believe it if they want to, and we can't do anything about those who don't."

Liu Yingxiong nodded. "Okay, let's do as you say. But this means increasing taxes and having to deal with the disaster victims and the uprising army formed by them. How can we afford it?"

Liu Yingcai said: "The people above won't care about you, whether you can bear it or not."

Upon hearing his words, Liu Yingxiong also agreed. After all, people were forced to flee famine, and the court hadn't issued any relief food or anything. Isn't this forcing those people to revolt?

"Second brother, what does your family think?" asked the village chief's wife.

"I've asked the eldest and second oldest brothers to go back and discuss things with their wives. The third oldest brother has already decided to follow his father-in-law and escape the famine. He said that if they start now, they still have a head start. If everyone else starts, they'll encounter more dangers along the way."

"Old Third is worthy of being an educated man, what he said is right." Liu Yingxiong agreed.

Liu Yingcai laughed and said, "Haha, it only works now. Normally, you can't even see it."

Liu Yingxiong knew that he was not a polite person, so he asked directly: "What do you think after talking for so long?"

"What else could I think about? My San'er has arranged everything for me. He said that the time will come and we old couple will ride in their carriage to escape the famine together. He also said that as long as they have a bite to eat, they will definitely not just give us old couple water." Of course, the last two sentences were added by him, but it seems that his San'er is also a filial son, so there is nothing wrong with what I said!

Liu Yingxiong understood what he meant by this. It seemed that his second brother had decided to flee the famine. Although his two sons had not yet decided, they would probably choose to go with the two old men.

If that's the case, why don't their family join them? They are from the same village, so they can take care of each other along the way. Besides, Yun Yi's father-in-law has a motorcade!

I heard that the convoy has been to many places and has a wider range of knowledge, so it would be a good idea to follow them.

After he had thought it over, which was only a few minutes, he saw Liu Yingcai just put down his teacup and said, "Yingcai, how about this? It's getting late today. I'll call a meeting with the villagers tomorrow morning to discuss this matter. I can't control who wants to stay, but if anyone chooses to flee the famine, can you tell your in-laws and we'll follow you? There's more people on the road, so we can take care of you better. What do you think?"

Liu Yingcai had actually come to tell him today with this idea in mind. Now that his eldest cousin had taken the initiative to propose it, he naturally agreed and said, "That's no problem. We're all fleeing famine and from the same village. We'll do our best to take care of you. It just so happens that my father-in-law hasn't left yet, so I'll tell him about it when I get back."

After hearing what Liu Yingcai said, he felt much more relieved and quickly asked his wife to cook. He said that he wanted to thank him on behalf of the villagers and that he was thinking about everyone.

How could Liu Yingcai really have a meal at their house? So he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I have a lot of things to do at home. I won't stay at your house any longer. I'm leaving now!" Then he got up and walked out of the house.

On the way, we met Liu Xiaoxiao walking back from the river with her grandfather!

After greeting his in-laws, he asked Liu Xiaoxiao, "Where did you take your grandpa? How did you get here?"

Liu Xiaoxiao replied, "We didn't go anywhere. We just pointed out our farmland to my grandfather from a distance and took him for a walk by the river. I wanted to show him where I used to fish, but the water there has dried up and there's only cracked earth. There's nothing much to see. So we're planning to go back."

Seeing her pouting mouth, Liu Yingcai couldn't help but laugh and said, "Weren't you still fishing in the river a few days ago? How come you finished so quickly?"

Liu Xiaoxiao sighed, "It's not that it's all dry, it's just that there's too little water. It's nothing like when I was fishing."

"That's almost there. Let's go back! How about bringing your grandpa and grandpa to see you fishing when you have the chance?" Seeing that she looked like she wanted to show off but had no place to show off, Liu Yingcai comforted her.

"Okay, when I get the chance in the future I will definitely let my grandparents see my fishing skills, and this is definitely it." He gave a thumbs up.

"When it comes to boasting, I've never seen anyone other than you who can brag about themselves so shamelessly without blushing." Zhufu said with a smile.

"No way, I'm not bragging, I'm just stating the facts..." The few of them talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the door of their home.
