Fleeing From Famine, My Entire Family Was Reborn

In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.

Before the mob could reach their villag...

Chapter 199: End of Fate

Butcher Yang was the first to speak, "Girl Yinyin, I don't have much experience and I don't know where to go. You are smart, so you can make the decision for me. Anyway, wherever you go, my family will follow you."

Madam Xu followed suit, "I will follow you, just like Yang Hu."

Su Yin felt helpless and turned to Zhang Bingliang, Li Rui and others.

This time, Zhang Bingliang and Old Man Zhang came to the Zhang family. The father and son shook their heads and said they had not made up their minds.

She turned her gaze towards Li Rui.

Li Rui said, "We can't go south, so we can only go north like them to find a way out."

Zhang Bingliang said, "What if I go to the North and they don't accept me there?"

That's a good question.

Such things have happened in history.

Li Rui was stunned, and so were everyone else.

"Then, let's go to Shangjing City. Shangjing City is where the emperor lives, he can't just ignore it, right?" Zhou Youcai said.

Regarding this question, Su Yin could only say that it was hard to say.

Look at the chaos that the Yong Dynasty is in. The one on the throne is either incompetent or cruel and ruthless.

Doctor Li said, "Su girl, what do you think?"

"Yes, Miss Su, what are your plans?" Zhang Bingliang asked.

Actually, things are not that complicated.

The government did not accept refugees, firstly because it did not have the ability, and secondly because those in power were stingy and did not want to cause trouble.

If we do a good job in resettling refugees, we will win a good reputation. If we do a bad job, we will suffer disaster.

Receiving refugees is not as simple as just finding a place for them.

After the government took over, the first thing it had to do was assign a place for the refugees to settle down, which was a real headache.

Secondly, we also have to provide the refugees with one to three months of food rations, giving them time to rebuild their homes and find jobs.

This is the big problem and the main reason why the government is unwilling to take over this mess.

Forcing these officials to take food out of their pockets is like cutting their flesh.

Third, once you accept refugees, the consequence is that there will be a constant influx of refugees.

If your place is full and you are unable to accommodate new guests, and you refuse newcomers, this matter may cause civil unrest if it is not handled properly.

Considering the above circumstances, officials naturally would not like to pick up shit on themselves.

Su Yin slowly broke things down and told them the problems the government would face in accepting refugees.

After listening to this, everyone nodded continuously.

"If we don't need the government to take care of us, and just want them to give us a piece of land, and we each pay a little money to buy it, do you think the government will be willing to let us settle down?"

Mr. Wan San was still thinking that after arriving in Linzhou Prefecture, he would write them a letter of introduction and resolve the matter. He did not expect that Su girl could easily see the secret herself.

After everyone heard what Su Yin said, there was a look of joy on their faces.

"That means we can continue going south?" said my cousin-in-law Zhou Youcai happily.

Although she said that, Su Yin did not dare to speak absolutely. "That's the case, but I can't guarantee that the local government will agree."

Yang Dashan smiled and said, "The South is so big, it's impossible that everyone disagrees. The government office will agree."

Su Yin looked at Li Rui, Zhang Bingliang and the others. "What I said is a bit of a matter of luck. If we are lucky, we can settle down in the first suitable county town we encounter and stop wandering. If we are unlucky, we will continue to walk, and it is unknown where we will settle down. So whether you want to continue to go south, you should consider it carefully."

Zhang Bingliang asked, "Miss Su, are you going to continue going south, or change direction and go north?"

Su Yin did not respond immediately, but looked at her three uncles and several other families.

My uncle Yang Da [He] said, "We will listen to you."

Second uncle Yang Dachuan followed suit and said, "It's up to you to decide.

Uncle Yang Dashan looked at her encouragingly, "It's up to you to decide."

Everyone was waiting for Su Yin's decision.

"Go south."

Going south, first of all, her previous generation was from the south, so she naturally prefers the climate in the south.

The climate in the south of the Dayong Dynasty is very similar to that of Blue Star.

The second reason is that the emperor is far away in the south, so even if a coup occurs, it will not affect ordinary people like them.

Judging from the fate of the Great Yong Dynasty, it will probably be exhausted in a few years. The area to the north of Shangjing City will inevitably be a battleground for military strategists.

It's too dangerous, it's better to stay away from it.

The second reason is the important factor why Su Yin insisted on going south.

Su Yin did not tell anyone about this reason.

After all, even if you say it, people may not believe it.

The Yong Dynasty is about to end. If this news gets out, you will lose your head.

In feudal dynasties, discussing the royal family was considered disrespectful. If you cursed the dynasty's downfall, you could just wait for your property to be confiscated.

Su Yin is a tiger, but not reckless.

Know what to say and what not to say.

There are many people talking, so it’s always better to be careful.

Zhang Bingliang and his son looked at each other and made a decision, "We will also go south. Going to the north is also unknown. Who knows what kind of trouble we will encounter there? Maybe it is the same there."

There is no definite answer on Li Rui's side yet.

"You two should discuss it first."

Li Rui pulled his uncles and aunts together to start discussing whether to go south or north.

While they were discussing, Doctor Li smiled and said, "The lives of our family of three were saved by Miss Su, so naturally we must follow Miss Su."

As a result, only seven households on Li Rui's side have not made a decision.

No one urged them, and after waiting for about two cups of tea, a decision was finally made.

Li Rui said in a deep voice: "We have also decided to follow you south. In fact, there is an advantage to going south together now. Most refugees go north, and few go south. We will be much safer on the road."

"Whether we go north or south, no one knows what our fate will be. It's better to continue to stay with the group and have some company."

Butcher Yang laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's right."

Since everyone decided to continue heading south, everyone felt relieved.

When we get to the south and encounter problems again, we will just find ways to solve them.

Master Wan San said, "Since Pingyang County has advised refugees not to go south, I'm afraid there are checkpoints on the official road. If we want to get through, we have to pay."

Doctor Li said, "That's not necessary. I know a small road that can bypass the official road and go to Linzhou Prefecture."

"That would be best."

After everyone left, Wan Sanye lowered his voice and asked, "Why don't you want to go to the north?"

He was really curious.

For Su Yin, who came from Meizhou, it didn’t matter whether he went south or north.

"Fatty, do you believe in your intuition?"

Wan Sanye became interested, "Intuition?"

He shook his head. "I don't believe it. Do you have anything to say?"

"Of course there is." Su Yin raised his head and looked at the sky. "Fatty, I think the Great Yong Dynasty is about to end."
