After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Aunt Zhou and Uncle Heiwa are a couple, and Aunt Bai is alone.

Sister-in-law Zhang took her youngest son Xiaoshan.

The second uncle Liu and the second aunt were accompanied by their eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law Liu.

They didn't come by appointment, it just happened.

Several people sat on the ground, staring at each other.

They were all speculating on the others' intentions, so no one spoke first.

Li Yuanzhi tried to ease the embarrassment, "It's quite cold tonight. Would you like to drink some hot water?"

Uncle Liu Er said with a serious face, "No need, I just ate porridge, so I'm not thirsty."

Others also followed suit and said there was no need to pour water.

Li Yuanzhi had no choice but to find some gossip to talk about, and finally waited until Jiang Xiaohua came over.

"I'm going to feed myself and keep everyone waiting."

The appearance of Jiang Xiaohua was like dropping a stone on the frozen lake.

The still atmosphere suddenly became vivid, and everyone looked at her with a smile or expectantly.

"It didn't take long."

"Yes, yes, we came uninvited and caused you trouble."

Jiang Xiaohua sat down casually and asked with a smile, "If you have any questions for me, just tell me."

Everyone looked at each other again.

As Jiang Xiaohua's elder, Uncle Liu Er would seem to be taking Qiao off if he tried to shirk her at this time.

So he was the first to say, "I have heard what you said in front of everyone this afternoon."

"You're right. After passing Baishui Town, it's time to separate."

"But I thought about it for a while and discussed it with your brothers and sisters-in-law."

"We all believe in your vision and want to follow the same route as you."

As if he was worried that Jiang Xiaohua would misunderstand, Uncle Liu then added, "What I said is not like before, everyone must go together and stay together."

"You can go your own way, we just didn't think of another place to go at the moment. If we follow you, we can have a reference."

"I'll walk with you for a while and wait until we find a suitable place."

"When the time comes, I won't be able to leave."

The second aunt nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean."

"You don't have to worry about us, we can go whatever way you want!"

Of course Jiang Xiaohua believed what these two elders said.

Because along the way, Uncle Liu Er's family had never caused any trouble for her.

Even after the relationship was restored, they never reached out to her to ask for anything.

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and agreed, "Okay."

"The second uncle and the second aunt believe in me so much. I am flattered."

"With you two here, how much care have you given me? I'm still a little reluctant to separate immediately."

She was so good at talking, and the old couple were very happy to hear it.

Aunt Zhou answered hurriedly, "That's what we mean too!"

"Every word of what my uncle and aunt said just now seemed to come from my heart!"

Uncle Heiwa said sternly, "I have the skills to hoop barrels."

"Find a village with a lot of people to live in along the way, give people buckets and basins, and do some work, and you can make a living."

Jiang Xiaohua had already agreed to Uncle Liu Er, and immediately agreed to Aunt Zhou.

Anyway, these two families have a good relationship with her, so it would be a good thing to continue traveling together.

Aunt Bai and Sister Zhang were left speechless.

Jiang Xiaohua looked at the two of them with a smile, "You two must have other plans, right?"

Aunt Bai said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"I heard before that you were going to the northwest, heading towards the capital."

"My family and I are planning to go east. We still have a relative in Donghai County."

Jiang Xiaohua was really happy for Aunt Bai, "It's a good thing to have relatives who can join her."

Sister-in-law Zhang said, "I'm also here to say goodbye."

"I don't want to keep walking. I can't walk anymore! I heard them say that there are several villages just east of Baishui Town next to that road. Not far ahead."

"I want to try my luck everywhere to see if any village can take our family in."

Jiang Xiaohua also gave Mrs. Zhang her blessing, wishing her to settle down as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Aunt Bai and Mrs. Zhang hugged Jiang Xiaohua and were inseparable.

Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears and said, "You saved both lives of me and my Xiaoshan. No matter where I am in this life, I will always remember your kindness!"

Jiang Xiaohua never imagined that she and Mrs. Zhang would have such a tender farewell after they settled their differences.

Aunt Bai was even more sad, "I don't know if I can see you again in the future, Xiaohua, although you are the leader among our women, don't just be stubborn, remember to be kind to yourself."

Jiang Xiaohua promised, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of myself, and so will you."

Sent away several guests.

Jiang Xiaohua’s family stood in a row and brushed their teeth.

Liu Guang brushed his brush and asked vaguely, "Are we really going to the capital?"

Jiang Xiaohua hummed.

Liu Guang was very excited, "I heard that the capital is very prosperous!"

Liu Ming glanced at him, "Isn't your ambition to join the army? Why do you also yearn for the colorful world?"

Liu Guang hurriedly rinsed his mouth and retorted, "What do you know? There are many generals in the capital."

"If I am selected one day, I can still go to the border to kill the enemy!"

Jiang Xiaohua said, “There are indeed many opportunities in Beijing.”

"So you all have to work hard to achieve your ambitions."

Liu Yong, Liu Guang, and Liu Ming were all thoughtful.

Jiang Xiaohua continued, "The road ahead is much more prosperous. It won't be like the past, where it was a wilderness of mountains and forests for several days in a row. We are taking this with us and we must be careful not to scare passers-by."

"Yes!" The four little ones agreed in unison.

At the beginning of winter two days later, the city wall of Baishui Town has been left behind.

Smooth and straight roads, with vast farmland on both sides.

Aunt Zhou and others, who had never traveled far, were all amazed.

"The roads in the Central Plains are too straight and flat at first glance!"

Jiang Xiaohua said with a smile, "So when we get here, it's much easier to distinguish the southeast from the northwest."

In early winter, farmland looks empty.

The soil was newly dug, and apart from the weeds on the edge of the field, no crops could be seen.

Looking further ahead, there are several residential courtyards scattered not far away, with stones built into courtyard walls half as high as a person.

The house is made of mud, which is a completely different scene from the south.

Aunt Zhou asked in a low voice, "Are we already in their village?"

At this time, a woman carrying a hoe happened to pass by.

Jiang Xiaohua stepped forward to stop her and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, may I ask where this is?"

The woman was kind, stopped and said, "Zhaojiacun."

"Are you from outside?"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded and pulled her four cubs over with a smile to show that she was harmless.

"We're from the south."

The woman looked at Jiang Xiaohua and the children, and her eyes softened a bit.

"It's not easy to have to take care of four children when you're trying to escape."
