Chapter 25 The main road is blocked by the Wang family
Lin Wanwan was overjoyed, knowing that her father had completely believed her prediction.
She radiated confidence and looked radiant.
"Yes, Father, I foresee that the Northern Barbarians will attack our Qingzhou in ten days."
"In six or seven days at most, this news will spread throughout the entire North, and grain prices will rise to their highest point. At that time, we must quickly dispose of the grain, convert it into cash, and leave the city to head south before anyone can react."
"Of course, we also need to leave enough food for ourselves to avoid any accidents on the way."
This time, Lin Wanwan gave Lin Wufeng the specific time when the Northern Barbarians would break through the city. Lin Wufeng felt relieved and nodded at Lin Wanwan with satisfaction.
"As expected of my daughter, Lin Wufeng, she is truly talented!"
"Here is a thousand taels of silver. You just returned home when this happened. Your father didn't even have time to throw you a grand welcome banquet. This is your father's compensation, a small token of his appreciation. You can use it as you please."
Lin Wanwan's eyes held a hidden joy. She had returned to the Lin family to enjoy a life of luxury, but she never expected that the Lin family would be suddenly ransacked by rampant bandits!
Many members of the Lin family secretly said that she was a jinx, bringing bad luck and disrupting the peace of the household as soon as she returned home.
Her biological mother, Madam Lin, no longer treated her kindly, let alone carefully provided her with clothes, jewelry, and personal funds.
Now that's good. Once she helps the Lin family get through this crisis, her father will definitely value her highly.
Then we'll see who dares to give her attitude!
Lin Wanwan didn't hesitate or refuse; she readily accepted without any of the coyness typical of a young girl.
She said to Lin Wufeng frankly, "Then I wish my father success in his plans and abundant wealth!"
Lin Wufeng now has a very good impression of his daughter who has just returned home.
She is steady, generous, and unpretentious in her work, and has the subtle demeanor of a matriarch; she is worth nurturing.
"Haha, thank you for your kind words, daughter. By the way, you must never reveal this ability of yours. If you have any news in the future, come to your father in time, and we will plan together."
"Yes, Father, I understand the importance of things. With your strategic planning, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Haha, well said!"
Lin Wanwan left happily with the huge sum of money.
.
On the road of fleeing famine.
After the people of Peach Blossom Village had eaten and drunk their fill, it was time for them to set off on their journey.
Su Yunhai glanced around and saw that the entire road was blocked by people from Baishan Village.
He could only have the people of Baishan Village relay the message to those ahead, urging them to get moving and continue their journey.
The number of people who fled famine in Baishan Village totaled more than 150.
The Shen family has more than thirty members, and the rest are all from the Wang clan.
The leader of the group fleeing famine in Baishan Village was Wang Kui, the clan chief of the Wang family.
The villagers of Baishan Village only obeyed his commands.
Nobody paid any attention to the people from Peach Blossom Village.
"Who do you think you are? You think you can just leave whenever you want? Why should I listen to you?"
"That's right, we're from Baishan Village, what right do you Peach Blossom Village people have to give us such orders?"
"What scholar? Our Wang family has scholars too, two of them! What are your scholars from Peach Blossom Village compared to that? Get out of here, we need to cool off here for a while."
The people of Peach Blossom Village got angry when they saw that the people of White Mountain Village were being so disrespectful.
The population of Peach Blossom Village is several times larger than that of these White Mountain Villages.
Besides, they had just killed bandits yesterday, so they carried some menacing aura with them.
The hot-tempered man immediately started arguing with the Wang family.
The Shen family all knew that Su Yunhai was their son-in-law and a scholar. He was also the one who organized this famine escape, so naturally they wouldn't join the Wang clan in bullying their own family.
Shen Huai'an frowned slightly when he saw the Wang family bullying his son-in-law.
He immediately summoned his younger brother, Shen Huaikang, to go and discuss the matter with Wang Kui, the clan leader.
“Clan Chief Wang, it’s getting late. We should hurry on our way. Do you think we should organize everyone to get going? After all, we are fleeing famine, and we can’t keep being so lax.” Shen Huai’an said to Wang Kui with a kind expression.
Wang Kui sat in his own carriage, feeling somewhat dazed.
He also heard the people in the group making trouble, but he ignored them.
Who told the people of Peach Blossom Village to want to be the masters of their Wang family?
Well done.
"Hehe, it's the Shen brothers."
Wang Kui slowly opened his eyes, looked at the two Shen brothers, and smiled.
“It’s not that we don’t want to go, but look at the blazing sun in the sky. It’s not easy for us to travel under such intense heat. Let’s wait another half an hour until the sun isn’t so scorching before we set off.”
The Shen brothers were surprised that Old Wang showed them no respect whatsoever, and they figured out what he was thinking.
"Clan Chief Wang, we've all toiled in the fields, what hardships haven't we endured? We're on a long journey of fleeing famine, and who knows how many difficulties and crises we'll encounter along the way. If you can't even handle this little bit of hardship, you might as well just go home and lie on your kang (heated brick bed)." Shen Huai'an had also run out of patience and couldn't help but be sarcastic.
Wang Kui didn't expect this old man Shen to dare to speak to him like that, and he squinted at him slightly.
"Old Shen, the reason I agreed to flee the famine with your Shen family this time is because the Shen family and the Wang family have a good relationship."
"Otherwise, without the protection of our Wang family, your pitiful thirty-odd members of the Shen family would have suffered a lot on this journey of fleeing famine. Don't be confused about who's inside and who's outside and bring trouble upon yourselves."
Wang Kui's threatening intent was obvious.
Shen Huai'an and Shen Huaikang's hearts sank, and they exchanged a few glances.
Shen Huai'an said, "Then we won't trouble Clan Chief Wang. Our Shen family will not travel with you. Please have your people make way for us so we can go first."
Wang Kui was surprised that the Shen family would make such a decision, and his face immediately darkened.
“Shen Huai’an, it was you who persuaded us to travel together during our escape from famine so that we could keep each other company, and it was you who made our people wait here for your son-in-law and his family.”
"It was your son-in-law's family that was late, making us wait here in the scorching sun for two hours. What, are you trying to kick us while we're down?"
Shen Huai'an's temper flared up, and his voice rose several decibels.
"Heh, you surnamed Wang, did I make you wait? I said we could wait on our own and you could go first, but you didn't want to be the first to go and were afraid of encountering any danger, so you insisted on waiting here together. Now it's our fault? You really are getting more and more shameless as you get older."
"Also, don't keep saying that we persuaded you to flee the famine together. Since your Wang family is so unwilling, why don't you just go back? Anyway, you've only just left the village, you can go back in a few steps."
After saying that, he and his younger brother returned to their own team.
