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

"Ah."

"My aunt is so good to us."

The three Zhao brothers were incredibly excited, but each of them was suppressing their excitement.

Seeing how kind Zhao Yan was to Brother Chen and the others, and knowing that she would be living at Aunt Zhao's house in the future, Yuan Tianbao's eyes shone with envy.

Eh.

He also wanted to go home with Aunt Zhao.

But he knew his grandfather would definitely refuse.

He is the only grandson in the family, so he cannot be willful.

……

For the next period of time, Zhao Yan went up the mountain every day to look for good things, and every two days she would go to town to sell them for money.

Most of the animals were herbs, pheasants, and rabbits; I haven't encountered any large wild boars since.

During this time, Yuan Yutang came to examine Zhao Yunchen's leg injury again, adjusted the prescription, and said that he would only need to take it for a while and then he would not need to take it anymore. He just needed to rest and recuperate.

Zhao Yunchen was overjoyed.

Before the beginning of the next month, Zhao Yan found Sun Xiaodi and told him what she wanted.

"You want to check out?"

Sun Xiaodi was speechless.

"You only rented it for a month, why are you quitting?"

Is this house really going to be a liability for me?

Zhao Yan took out a small piece of silver from her sleeve and stuffed it into Sun Xiaodi's hand.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't planning to cancel now, but a special situation came up at home, so I had to trouble you."

Checking out was something she had planned long ago; she said this because she was worried that Sun Xiaodi wouldn't let them leave.

Sun Xiaodi wasn't the type to force a sale. Seeing that the other party really didn't want to continue renting, he had no choice but to take the keys and let them leave.

Zhao Yunchen's injured leg has recovered to about 70-80%, but he still needs more rest.

Zhao Yan rented an oxcart in town, loaded all their belongings onto it, and the group boarded the oxcart to head to Chenjiagou.

When the oxcart arrived in the village and passed by the gate of the Yang family's house, Yang Zhangshi saw Zhao Yan and the others on the oxcart and suddenly opened her mouth wide, feeling both shocked and angry.

The prostitute even brought her nephew from her maternal family!

What does she want to do?

Moreover, they even rode in an oxcart into the village. Where would the prostitute get the money to take the cart?

Her eyes were like knives, constantly piercing the crowd on the oxcart.

Zhao Yan sensed something, glanced over coldly, and when she saw it was her, quickly turned her head away.

She wouldn't even bother to look at people who are irrelevant to her.

Liu Guifang just opened the door and, seeing this, hurriedly asked, "Sanlang's wife, are those three young men with you your elder brother's nephews?"

"Yes."

Zhao Yan nodded calmly and said without any hesitation, "From now on, the three of them will live with me."

Liu Guifang was stunned for a moment, feeling utterly astonished.

"Oh dear, do you think your mother-in-law would be happy to bring your nephew into the house?"

You probably want to sell her, don't you?

Zhao Yan stated frankly, "Aunt Guifang, Xiaomi and I have severed ties with the Yang family. From now on, Yang Zhangshi will no longer be my mother-in-law."

"Oh my god, really? You and Xiaomi really left the Yang family and started living alone?"

"of course it's true."

Seeing Liu Guifang's surprised yet gratified expression, Zhao Yan couldn't quite describe her feelings. She just felt that someone had been quietly caring about the original owner of this body, but the original owner was unaware of it.

After her initial surprise, Liu Guifang smiled with relief.

“Sanlang’s wife, your courage is commendable. This is the right thing to do. If you ever have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will help you if I can.”

As the oxcart passed by, Zhao Yan's slightly surprised eyes flashed for a moment, and a faint echo drifted from ahead: "Then thank you, Aunt Guifang."

"No need to thank me, we're all from the same village."

Once the oxcart was out of sight after turning a corner, Liu Guifang excitedly headed towards the more populated area of ​​the village.

She had a loud voice, and when she yelled into the crowd, it wasn't long before most of the villagers knew that Zhao Yan and her daughter had severed ties with the Yang family.

Moreover, the news that Zhao Yan had suddenly recovered from her stupidity also spread among the crowd.

Not only was her mental illness cured, but she also brought her three nephews to the village today.

It's a rare thing for someone who's been a fool for over twenty years to suddenly become a normal person. When Zhao Yan and the others slowly returned to the dilapidated house in the oxcart, they were followed by several little tails.

They were all children from the village, who came specifically to find out information for their families.

Zhao Yunchen tugged at Zhao Yan's sleeve, "Auntie, there are a few children watching over there, do you want me to..."

"Don't worry about them," Zhao Yan said nonchalantly.

She doesn't bother them as long as they don't go up and bother them.

The oxcart stopped in front of the dilapidated house, and Zhao Yan began to move things inside.

Actually, there wasn't much stuff, just two quilts and some pots and pans.

After unloading her belongings, Zhao Yan paid the remaining rent to the oxcart owner, and the oxcart slowly drove away.

"Let's go home."

Zhao Yan waved her hand and led her three nephews into the courtyard.

The children who had been secretly watching from a distance found nothing to see and turned back home.

Zhao the Fool is no longer a fool; he has also brought his nephew home.

They had to go home and deliver the message.

"Snapped!"

When Zhao Qiaolan heard about this, she was so angry that she slapped the edge of the bed.

hateful!

How could Madam Yang let that vile woman Zhao Yan leave?!

Wouldn't it be better if she wasn't stupid anymore? Let's sell her for money!

She went back to her parents' home a few days ago and didn't return until last night.

Upon returning, I heard that Zhao Yan had severed ties with the Yang family and was living separately with her daughter.

How could she? How dare she? Isn't she afraid that she and her child will starve to death?

Zhao Qiaolan raged inside the room for a while, venting her anger before daring to lift the curtain and go outside.

She married Chen Peng, who was Chen Youjin's youngest son.

Her father-in-law was the village head, and her mother-in-law treated Zhao Yan differently. She couldn't let them see through her little schemes.

"Dad, is it true? My cousin really cut ties with the Yang family?"

Inside the main room, Chen Youjin would occasionally take a puff of his pipe, as if he were deep in thought.

Hearing his daughter-in-law's question, he didn't even look up, only giving a soft "hmm".

Zhao Qiaolan's brows furrowed instantly, then quickly relaxed, and she said in a worried tone, "But Dad, my cousin is all strength and no other skills. How will she manage to raise her child alone? I'm really worried about her..."

"Who says Sanlang's wife can't do anything?"

Chen Youjin interrupted her, glanced at her, and, as if remembering something, looked at Zhao Qiaolan's face for a moment before finally instructing her: "Third brother's wife, you and Sanlang's wife are cousins ​​from the same clan, so you should visit her more often in the future."

what?

Her father-in-law wants her to associate more with that bitch Zhao Yan?!

She bah!

She doesn't care!

But facing Chen Youjin...

"Yes, Dad, I'll talk to my cousin more often when I have time."

Zhao Qiaolan responded meekly, her fists clenched so tightly they ached.

……

After settling her three nephews in, Zhao Yan picked up her daughter from Tian Xiu'e's house.

"Mother, will my brothers really live with us from now on?"

Zhao Xiaomi looked at Zhao Yan with a longing expression, her little heart burning with anticipation.

Zhao Yan held Xiao Hui in one arm and held her daughter's hand with the other.

"Of course, your cousins ​​Chen, Jie, and Qi are all here, just waiting for you to come back and play with them."
