Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

"I……"

Yang Zhangshi wanted to refute, but upon seeing Zhao Yan's cold gaze, she had no choice but to say something against her will.

"...I agree to sever ties with my family. Please get it done quickly."

What could she say?

Seeing the young prostitute and the man surnamed Wu exchanging flirtatious glances, it was hard to guarantee that the man surnamed Wu wouldn't listen to the young prostitute and kidnap her in the middle of the night to sell her.

Although it's a pity to waste that money, my own life is more important, isn't it?

Tian Meiying couldn't stand Yang Zhangshi's affectation in front of her old man, and said impatiently, "What are you hesitating for, old man? Sanlang's wife is smart enough. She doesn't want to be tormented by her wicked mother-in-law, so what's wrong with her going independent? Why are you dawdling around here? Can't stand to see her doing well?"

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at her old man.

Chen Youjin felt uncomfortable under his wife's gaze, and said to Zhao Yan with a smile, "Hehe, since you both agree, then I, the village head, won't say anything more."

"Sanlang's wife, wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Zhao Yan nodded politely, "Uncle Village Chief, please."

Chen Youjin left with the three severance papers, but a moment later he returned.

"The village will keep one copy of the severance document, and you will each have one of the remaining two copies."

He handed the remaining two severance documents, bearing his name and stamped with the village's official seal, to Zhao Yan and Yang Zhangshi.

Madam Yang Zhang angrily took the document and glared at Zhao Yan.

"Can I go now?"

You little slut, how dare you team up with another man to bully me! Let's see how she talks about me when she gets back!

Zhao Yan took the severance document from Chen Youjin and calmly glanced at Wu Gui.

Wu Guichao waved his hand, and the two burly men guarding Yang Zhangshi suddenly stepped to the sides, allowing Yang Zhangshi to leave.

Before leaving, Yang Zhangshi glanced at Chen Youjin again. Seeing that Chen Youjin was looking down at her and didn't want to look at her at all, her face stiffened, and she turned away angrily.

Coward!

Why didn't he let go of her hand when they were being affectionate in the past?

There is nothing good about men!

Zhao Yan carefully put the letter severing ties into her bosom, but actually placed it in her spatial storage cabinet.

Now, she has two cubic meters of storage space, one of which contains the dead wild boar, and the other is still empty.

After carefully putting away the documents, she looked at Chen Youjin, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said first, "Uncle Village Chief, Xiaomi and I are leaving with nothing. I wonder if there are any vacant houses in the village?"

Having just left the Yang family, she decided to find a place to live immediately.

She did want to go to Sister Tian's place, but unfortunately Sister Tian's house only had one small bedroom, and it was inconvenient for several people to live in one room.

"Yes, of course we have plenty of houses in our village. You and Xiaomi can stay wherever you like."

Seeing her old man frowning and standing there without saying a word, Tian Meiying spoke enthusiastically, but secretly pinched the soft flesh on Chen Youjin's waist hard.

Chen Youjin hissed and was about to retaliate when Tian Meiying gave him another slap on the waist and threatened him with her eyes.

"Old man, Sanlang's wife is asking you a question, so say something!"

What are you glaring at me for!

Get down to business!

You old hag, why did you hit me so hard?

Chen Youjin muttered to himself, but looked at Zhao Yan with a friendly expression.

“There are a few vacant old houses in the village. If you want to stay, I can let you stay in one. But as you know, these houses are the common property of the village, so you can only stay there temporarily for a few days. I'm afraid the villagers will not be happy if you stay there for too long.”

Zhao Yan never intended to take advantage of the village.

"I wonder if there are any vacant houses at the end of the village?"

The village end is where Tian Xiu'e lives.

She remembered that there was an old, vacant house not far from Sister Tian's house.

These houses were left behind by the elderly people who had passed away. Since they had no children, the houses naturally returned to the village.

Chen Youjin thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, there is, but that house has been empty for twenty years and is in terrible condition. If you want to live there, you'll have to find someone to fix it properly."

Having a house is enough.

Zhao Yan glanced at Chen Youjin and suddenly said, "Uncle Muramasa, I want to rent that house."

Buying a house can wait until she's earned enough money.

"Renting a house..." Chen Youjin rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's okay to rent. I won't ask for more rent from you. Just give me two hundred coins a month."

Two hundred coins are almost more than the wages of an adult man working outside.

Tian Meiying was displeased and glared at Chen Youjin.

"What money do you want! Don't you even think about how dilapidated that house is?" He looked at Zhao Yan with a gentle expression.

"Sanlang's wife, don't listen to your uncle. If you have some, give him a few dozen or a hundred. If not, that's fine. You can live in the house without worry. No one will dare to say anything."

Zhao Yan took out two jiao (0.2 yuan) from her pocket and stuffed it into Tian Meiying's hand.

"Aunt Tian, ​​I caught a few wild rabbits on the mountain and sold them for some money. Please take these. I'll rent the house for a month first."

One jiao (10 cents) is equal to one hundred daqian (100 large coins), and two jiao (20 cents) is exactly two hundred daqian.

Tian Meiying wanted to return the money, but Zhao Yan, holding her daughter, stepped back and out the door.

"Aunt Tian, ​​I'm strong and can support myself, so please accept the money."

Seeing this, Chen Youjin quickly said to Zhao Yan, "Sanlang's wife, the house at the end of the village doesn't have a gate. You can just move there and live there. You can come to me anytime to find someone to help repair the house."

Twenty years have passed, and the gate has long been eroded by the wind.

Zhao Yan wanted to move today and nodded eagerly.

"Okay, I'll come back to you for help if I need it."

After saying this, she glanced at Wu Gui, picked up her daughter, and turned to leave.

Wu Gui nodded politely to Chen Youjin and left with his men.

"Heroine, it's nothing, we'll take our leave in a bit."

On the way, Wu Gui said this to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

"Female knight-errant, huh? This person's been reading too many martial arts novels."

"My name is Zhao Yan, Brother Wu, you can just call me by my name."

Stop calling her a female knight-errant; she can't fly over rooftops or scale walls.

"There was a reason for what happened last night, Brother Wu, please don't worry about it."

She didn't hold back yesterday. If Wu Gui is a villain who wants to stab her in the back, she won't hesitate to retaliate.

Wu Gui was filled with trepidation.

A female knight-errant is a female knight-errant.

Despite his frail appearance, he was able to single-handedly defeat several of his men, which he admired from the bottom of his heart.

"No, no, it was all my fault for arresting people without understanding the situation. Please don't be angry, Sister Zhao."

Since we can't call her a female knight-errant, and calling her by her name isn't appropriate, we can only address her as "little sister."

"It's nothing. It's just that Yang Zhangshi doesn't like me and has been trying to sell me and my daughter."

As they talked, they returned to the front of the Yang family's house, where Zhao Yan waved goodbye to Wu Gui.

"You little whore! Get out of here! This isn't your home!"

As Zhao Yan carried Yang Xiaomi into the courtyard, Yang Zhangshi stood under the eaves of the main room, glaring angrily and cursing.
