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

In the past, Zhao Yan wouldn't have bothered with such minor squabbles, but this time, she absolutely refused to let it slide.

She said to everyone with a serious expression, "Although these were given to me and Sanlang by Brother Dou, without your help in taking care of Xiaomi and the others, Sanlang and I would not have been able to leave home with peace of mind, and we would have been gone for one or two months."

"So we have to divide these things up. No one can refuse. If anyone does, I'll get angry with them."

"This……"

Tian Xiu'e and the others looked at each other, completely at a loss for words.

Finally, Yuan Yutang spoke up, saying, "Let's divide it then, but Yan'er, we only want a small portion. If you give us too much, we won't take it."

Zhao Yan thought for a moment and nodded to Yuan Yutang and the others.

"Yes, I'll do as Uncle Yuan says."

Seeing that she had agreed, Yuan Yutang then looked at Su Yanzhi and Tian Xiu'e, the couple.

Su Yanzhi didn't really care and agreed after only a brief thought.

He's not young anymore, and these things will eventually be left to Zhao Yan and the others.

What could Tian Xiu'e say? She could only nod and agree.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhao Yan immediately began distributing the gold and silver jewelry.

There were a total of six boxes of silver, three boxes of gold, and three boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

Zhao Yan gave Tian Xiu'e a box of gold and silver jewelry.

But Tian Xiu'e felt that one box was too much and refused to take it no matter what, so Zhao Yan had no choice but to give her half a box.

Next came the gold.

When Yuan Yutang saw that Zhao Yan wanted to divide the gold, he quickly said to her, "Yan girl, you keep the gold for yourself, we don't need it. Just give my family half a box of silver."

Su Yanzhi and Chen An quickly added, "Yes, we absolutely do not want gold, silver will do."

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, she had no choice but to compromise.

"Alright, then we'll give each family half a chest of silver."

Just as they finished sorting the items, Yuan Gang returned with two horse-drawn carriages.

Zhao Yan stopped fussing and simply had Zhao Yunchen help move the vermilion wooden box into the carriage.

They've almost finished packing their things and should be leaving in the next day or two.

In the late afternoon, Yang Sanlang finally returned.

He handed the key to Zhao Yan for safekeeping and said to her with a smile, "I've seen the house. It's very big, with courtyards on the east and west sides, five courtyards on each side. It's enough to house all of us."

"Yan'er, do you want to move in now? Or wait until we come to the capital again?"

Zhao Yan casually said, "Let's do it next time we come. We should be leaving the day after tomorrow. Go to the real estate agency tomorrow and ask. I want to sell this house."

She won't be living in the capital for long, so keeping this two-courtyard house is a waste; it's better to sell it.

Yang Sanlang immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go ask tomorrow."

The next day, Yang Sanlang went to the brokerage firm early in the morning.

His arrival was quite opportune; someone happened to be looking to buy a two-courtyard house, and the two parties quickly reached an agreement with the help of the broker.

Yang Sanlang took some people to see the house, and the person was quite satisfied. Both parties agreed that the house would be handed over after Yang Sanlang and his group left the next day.

The next morning, Dou Xingyan and Shen Yu arrived early.

Yang Sanlang went to the brokerage to deal with the house matter. When he returned, he saw Dou Xingyan holding her daughter Yan'er and crying, and he felt helpless.

"Xingyan, stop crying. It's not like we'll never see each other again. If you're tired of living in the capital with Brother Shen, just come to the farm to find us. What kind of behavior is this, crying like this?"

He gave Shen Yu a wink.

Go and coax your own woman.

Shen Yu touched his nose, stepped forward and pulled Dou Xingyan out of Zhao Yan's arms, and comforted her in a low voice: "Brother Yang is right, Xingyan, if you really can't bear to part with your sister-in-law and the others, why don't we pack our things and go to the farm with them?"

"Yes, how come I didn't think of that?"

Upon hearing this, Dou Xingyan immediately stopped crying, quickly wiped away her tears, and turned to Zhao Yan, saying, "Sister Zhao, wait for me. I'll go back and pack my things now. I want to go to the farm with you."

After saying that, she grabbed Shen Yu and hurriedly ran away again.

Zhao Yan felt helpless and could only say to Tian Xiu'e and the others, "Let's walk slowly towards the city gate and wait for Xingyan and the others there."

Then she looked at Yang Sanlang and said, "Sanlang, go and tell Brother Dou that Xingyan is coming back to the farm with us for a while, and we'll send her back after a while. Also, tell Brother Shen that we'll be waiting for you outside the South Gate."

Yang Sanlang gave Zhao Yan a deep look with his dark eyes, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

Zhao Yan and her entourage drove six horse-drawn carriages in a grand procession toward the south gate.

The two carriages were crammed with gold, silver, jewelry, and various odds and ends, and were driven by Zhao Yunchen and Su Yanzhi respectively.

The other four carriages were driven by Chen Qingjiao in the one carrying bedding, pots and pans, and by Chen An, Yuan Gang, and Zhao Yan in the other three.

Don't let Chen Qingjiao's young age fool you; she has an exceptionally strong learning ability. Zhao Yan only taught her how to pull the reins to control the direction, and she learned it in just two days in the courtyard.

However, worried that she was still not proficient since she had just learned the skill, Zhao Yan only let her drive the carriage that did not carry passengers for the time being.

Dou Xingyan and Shen Yu returned to the Dou residence and immediately began packing their belongings.

Knowing she couldn't stay in the countryside for too long, Dou Xingyan quickly had her maid pack a few changes of clothes and two quilts and bedding. Then, she took the silver notes and got into the carriage with Shen Yu, hurrying towards the south gate.

By the time they arrived, Yang Sanlang had already returned.

Upon seeing them, he immediately stepped forward and said to Dou Xingyan, "Xingyan, your brother said that you must stay with us obediently and not run around. He will send someone to pick you up in half a month."

Upon hearing that it was only half a month, Dou Xingyan immediately said unhappily, "Huh? Only half a month? Can't it be postponed a little longer?"

Yang Sanlang said with a smile, "Let's talk about that later."

As soon as Dou Xingyan thought of something, her mood instantly brightened, and she nodded with a smile, saying, "Okay, let's go first, we'll talk about the rest later."

Hey.

She'll just stay at Sister Zhao's place and refuse to leave; her brother probably won't be able to do anything to her.

So everyone got back into the carriage and headed towards the farm in a grand procession.
