By the time it was fully light, they were not far from Yulin County.

With everyone's consent, Old Man Wang decided to continue on his journey and find a place to rest once they reached the city.

After all, Yulin County is a safe place to be, unlike outside where they are always worried that bandits might catch up with them at any time.

Although everyone kept moving forward, the heavy rain showed no sign of stopping either.

However, everyone was delighted by the heavy rain.

After all, they had chosen to leave their hometown and flee to Yulin County because of the drought.

Although the impact on Yulin County was not significant, the locusts did not reach the area, and there was also a period of little rain.

Although the land here is not as cracked as in Tongcheng, the water supply is still plentiful, but it has still caused fear among the people.

This rain also brought hope and comfort to the people of Yulin County.

By the time everyone had successfully entered Yulin County, the torrential rain seemed to have subsided somewhat.

They searched several guesthouses before finally managing to check in.

Lin Xue led the big yellow ox to the backyard of the inn, gave some money to the waiter, and asked him to give his ox more fodder.

Then he returned to his room and waited for the waiter to prepare hot water so he could wash up properly.

"Sigh, the rain just let up for a little while and then it's pouring again!"

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Ge Xiaoyu said to Lin Xue with some worry.

Although she was also looking forward to the heavy rain, if the rain continued, it could very likely cause flooding.

Lin Xue and her two friends booked two rooms. Apart from the separate showers for men and women, Ge Xiaoyu was arranged to sleep with Liu Enze at night, while Lin Xue wanted to have a big bed all to herself.

After taking a shower, Liu Enze went to Lin Xue's room.

"Grandma Su, we also have a shop in Yulin County. I'll take you there tomorrow to get your clothes made. I'll also have the manager go to my parents' house to let them come pick us up!"

Liu Enze sat down on the edge of Lin Xue's bed and looked at Lin Xue, who was half-lying down, and said softly.

"Little Enze, are you finally finding your family?"

Lin Xue reached out and patted the head of this strong boy. After washing up, Liu Enze returned to his lovable young appearance.

Although his skin was a bit dark, his body was much stronger than when Lin Xue first met him.

Unlike at the beginning, when she seemed sickly and listless.

"Grandma Su, would you like to come to my house with me? My house is very big, with several empty courtyards!"

"My parents are the best people in the world, just like you, Grandma Su!"

Liu Enze's eyes seemed to be filled with stars. He looked up at Lin Xue with an expectant expression, which made it hard to refuse him.

"Does Xiao Enze want Grandma Su to come to your house?"

Lin Xue stroked Liu Enze's head. She knew that the boy was reluctant to part with her, but Lin Xue did not plan to live with anyone else.

Even if the house is small, she wants to live on her own and doesn't want to be dependent on others.

"Of course I hope Grandma Su can come home with me, so I can stay with her forever!"

"And Sister Xiaoyu, you are all good people, you deserve a better life!"

Liu Enze shifted his buttocks down and lay down in front of Lin Xue.

"Grandma Su, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Looking at the little boy who had already fallen asleep in front of her, what could Lin Xue say? She couldn't very well send him away now, could she?

Although the child showed great resilience along the way, he had grown up in a comfortable environment and had probably never suffered such hardship before.

His parents would be coming soon, and the thought of parting filled Lin Xue with a feeling of reluctance.

Lost in thought, Lin Xue fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up again, the rain had stopped and the sky had cleared.

The streets were bustling with people, including many refugees from Tongcheng.

The streets were bustling with activity, filled with vendors selling food, fabrics, cosmetics, and more...

Lin Xue led Ge Xiaoyu and Liu Enze on a stroll, buying snacks from the roadside every now and then, until they arrived at Liu's Cloth Shop.

"Young Master, is it really you?"

The manager, who was originally greeting other guests, immediately ran to Lin Xue and her group when he saw them enter, especially when his gaze fell on Liu Enze's face.

"It's me, Steward Liu!"

"Grandma Su brought me back. Could you pick out some clothes for us and then send a message to my parents so they can come and pick us up soon?"

Upon seeing familiar faces, Liu Enze shed the timidity he had shown outside and revealed a confident and composed expression.

When Lin Xue and the others returned from outside, they saw Old Man Wang and the others about to leave.

"Sister Su, you're back just in time. We were just about to go to the household registration office to ask about our resettlement. Would you like to come with us?"

When the old man saw the three people return, he immediately went up to them and warmly invited them over.

If someone is so capable, and you're from the same village as them, your family will be able to establish itself more quickly in a new place.

"Great! I was just about to go to the county government office anyway!"

Lin Xue only planned to buy a courtyard and a few acres of farmland to leisurely raise chickens and ducks.

Once this body reaches the end of its natural lifespan, she can leave with her points.

Just thinking about Lin Xue makes me feel so happy.

"Grandma Su, didn't you say you were coming back to my house with me? Why do we still need to go to the county government office to check in?"

Hearing Lin Xue's words, Old Man Wang was quite happy, but Liu Enze, who was standing next to him, felt a sense of urgency.

What to do? His grandmother, Grandma Su, didn't plan to go home with him.

"If I register my household here, I can get some farmland. But if I go directly to your house, I won't get anything!"

"This was given to me by the imperial court. Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of such a policy. I won't let that land slip through my fingers for nothing!"

Lin Xue patted Liu Enze's head, thinking that the child was probably overthinking things again.

Although she didn't tell him, she had already made up her mind to live alone.

"But Grandma Su, if you really register your household here, you can't leave for a while!"

"The county government has its own regulations. For refugees who have registered their household here, leaving its jurisdiction is a very troublesome matter!"

Liu Enze's family does not live in Yulin County, but in a town under Yulin County.

Although they also own shops and properties in Yulin County, his parents rarely come to live here.
