Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Zhu Jinhui looked at her husband and son who got off the second carriage, and her face suddenly became sinister.

Lin Yinan was just as Yu Suqin said, she had no sense of being a fiancée at all, and when she went out together, she even rode in the same carriage with the man from outside her family.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinhui's chest heaved violently.

Su Yunzhi just thought that his mother was too worried about him and his father, and did not notice his mother's distorted face in the night.

He hurriedly comforted her, "Mother, my father and I have returned safely."

"Why didn't Anan ride in the same carriage with you?" Zhu Jinhui couldn't help but ask the question in her mind.

How could Su Yunzhi not understand what she was thinking? She said with a bit of helplessness, "Mom, the carriage belongs to the Yun family, and the way we sit is also arranged by the Yun family. We don't have to say anything. Besides, Anan has been with Brother Yiheng all the time, and nothing happened on the way."

"Madam, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back." Su Kunliang said.

Scholars value their reputation and are reluctant to discuss family matters outside, for fear that outsiders might hear them and lose face.

Since her husband had spoken, Zhu Jinhui had no choice but to obey and left reluctantly with Jixiang.

Back at the camp, the village chief, clan elders, and the women and children of the Yun family were eagerly awaiting their arrival.

It was still dark the next day.

The camp became noisy and Lin Yinan was awakened by the noise. When she opened her eyes, she found that everyone in the tent had gotten up early except her and the youngest one, Lin Yichun.

She threw back the quilt and got up to go out, just in time Lin Yiheng came looking for her.

"Sister, the Yun family's secret guards have brought back the purchased materials, and the Third Young Master Yun has sent someone to call you over to discuss it."

Lin Yinan nodded. With so many eyes watching outside, it was not appropriate for her to have too close contact with the Yun family.

“Brother, you and uncle go ahead and leave the things our family needs, and take care of the rest.”

Lin Yiheng knew his sister's concerns, so he didn't say anything more and turned to find Lin Shuo.

Lin Yinan looked at the dozens of trucks loaded with goods. Everyone lit several bonfires in the camp, and for a moment the whole camp was filled with shadowy figures.

In the light of the fire, she saw that not far away, Yunyan, Luo Shouxin and his wife and their three sons were greeting an elderly couple. It turned out that the Luo family also came with them.

Only a few of the secret guards at Luo's manor were left to guard there, and the rest all came over.

The villagers enthusiastically went over to help unload the supplies from the truck.

By the time all the supplies were unloaded, it was already daybreak.

When the camp heard Yun Mo say that most of the food, cloth and cotton could be purchased or exchanged for wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, it suddenly became lively.

Old Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhang excitedly rummaged around in their tent, hoping to exchange for some coarse grains.

At this time, Lin Shuo and Lin Yinan came back carrying a few sacks. They were overjoyed when they learned that these were their own things.

"No need to exchange anything?" Mrs. Zhao and Lin Shuo confirmed again and again.

Lin Yiheng has already told Lin Shuo that the supplies exchanged for the villagers were basically purchased by the Yun family on behalf of Lin Yinan.

He was afraid that his mother could not keep this secret, so he put the blame on the Yun family, "Mr. Yun said that this is a reward for our family."

As soon as the reward was mentioned, Mrs. Zhao understood and praised repeatedly, "The Yun family is a family that keeps its promises."

After washing up and having breakfast, Lin Yinan took Lin Yian and Lu Changqing for a stroll around the camp. Many villagers were picking wild vegetables.

Liu Ji found a few sweet potato vines near the water source, and the brother and sister started digging with great effort.

Lin Yinan stepped forward and said, "Liu Ji, the Yun family has brought in a lot of food and supplies. Don't you have anything to exchange?"

Liu Ji smiled and shook his head. "Sister Anan, I don't have anything to exchange. The food I stockpiled plus the wild vegetables and potatoes I dug are enough for my sister and I to eat for a few months if we save them."

Lin Yinan glanced at the clothes of the brother and sister. They had grown taller these days, and their sleeves and pants looked obviously shorter. The clothes were patched and torn, and it was only wearing thin clothes in the cold morning.

Seeing Liu Yu's red face from the cold, she kindly advised, "The weather is going to get cold soon. You can go and exchange some cloth and cotton to make two thick clothes. Don't get sick by then."

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, then he looked down at his sister, whose face was red, and felt guilty. When his parents were alive, he only needed to study hard and never had to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now, every day when he opens his eyes, he thinks of ways to stock up on food so that his sister won't go hungry.

Looking at the sweet potatoes that had been half dug out, he felt a little conflicted.

Lin Yinan saw what he was thinking and took the hoe from him, "I'll help you dig. Go quickly, or else everyone will have replaced them."

"Thank you, Sister Anan." Liu Ji bowed to him, turned around and trotted away.

"Ayu, let me help you dig."

Lin Yian saw Liu Yu holding a small wooden stick and digging in the soil seriously.

Liu Yu dug out a three-finger-thick sweet potato from the mud and placed it in front of Lin Yinan, "Sister Anan, this sweet potato is for you."

Lin Yinan touched her somewhat dry and yellow hair and said softly, "Sister, don't eat it. Ayu, take it back and eat it with brother."

"I'll give it to you after I cook it." Liu Yu said stubbornly with a stern face.

My brother said that Anan’s family helped them a lot and they should always remember this kindness.

Lin Yinan couldn't bear to reject her intention, "Okay."

The three children took small wooden sticks and dug sweet potatoes carefully. Lin Yinan quietly took out some dried meat from the space.

At first Liu Yu refused to take it, so Lu Changqing stuffed his dried meat into her hand.

Lin Yian came up to her and muttered something inaudible. Only then did Liu Yu pick up the dried meat and eat it in small bites.

"My brother said that everything will be fine once we go to the south. Sister Anan, is the south really better than here?" Liu Yu looked at her moistly with his big black and white eyes.

Lin Yinan looked at the leaves that were gradually turning yellow, recalling the South in his previous life.

"It's better than here. There's rarely any snow in the winter, and some crops can be grown twice a year..."

Here, the Hu people may come to attack at any time. The people in this land have been devastated by war and even their basic life safety is not guaranteed, so how can they live?

Life, life, you have to survive first, and then live well.

Lin Yinan was very strong and he dug out two sweet potatoes without much effort.

When passing by the Yun family tent on the way back, Lin Yinan was called into a meeting tent by Yun Er.

She saw not only her brother in there, but also the village chief, clan chief, several clan elders, and promising young people in the village.

There was a table in the middle of the tent, and on the table was a hand-drawn map.

What important matter are they discussing?

She looked at Lin Yiheng in confusion, and Lin Yiheng waved at her.

Everyone's eyes turned to her. Lin Yinan lowered her head and walked over to stand beside him. She lowered her voice and asked, "What are you discussing?"

Lin Yiheng signaled her not to speak.

Yun Mo saw Lin Yinan coming in and nodded slightly to Yun Ye.

Yunye cleared his throat and said, "Miss Lin is here too. Next, let's discuss the specific arrangements for attacking the bandit camp."
