The old man watched the village chief of Luojia Village being carried home without saying anything. The finance officer did not go to the fields that day and took his two sons directly to the town, so that the family did not have to go to the fields to work.

"I'll take Yixian and Yizhu to town later. Nianhua, you take your two daughters-in-law home and prepare some dry food that has been stored for a long time. Don't go out to the fields to avoid encountering wild boars. There are no men at home, so don't get hurt."

"You go ahead. I'll take Ru Ru and Gui Chun home to steam some dry food. Xiao Yu won't be asked to go out. Just stay home and look after Shi Yi. People outside are in a panic now. Don't go out to dig wild vegetables, or you'll worry about her."

The old man nodded, then left home with his two sons carrying a basket and went straight to the town. He did not explain the reason to his two sons on the way. The old man did not care, and the eldest son's wife did not know where her parents' home was, so she walked more smoothly.

The second son's wife's family is easy to deal with. She has a scholar father and a mother. The only problem is that her mother's relatives are complicated, so it is not realistic to take them all away. Therefore, this matter cannot be discussed in advance. It can only be discussed slowly after the river water stops. The most urgent thing now is to stock up some food before the price goes up.

In order to avoid being discovered, the old man took his two sons to the next town, Majia Town, to buy food. Now brown rice was only two copper coins per pound, so naturally the more he bought, the better. The old man took his two sons to travel back and forth between Yunshan Town and Majia Town.

The purchased grain was stored in the newly purchased small courtyard, which had a cellar dug when they were not busy. It was waterproofed, so the grain was stored directly in the cellar.

After all the money in the family was spent, the old man took his two exhausted sons home. When he got home, he looked at the dry riverbed and felt depressed again. He went to his room, took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter. He went to the back mountain and blew a special whistle. Soon, an eagle flew over from a distance and landed not far from the old man.

He rolled up the letter in his hand, stuffed it into the mailbox and sealed it, then fed the eagle some rabbit meat. The eagle spread its wings and flew away. The old man looked at the eagle flying away and sighed silently. He gave up his identity. From today on, he was Wang Huan, a villager of Luojia Village, and he no longer had any relationship with the Wang family in the capital.

The next day, a luxurious carriage came to the village and entered the Wang family with a box in its hands. Wang Shiyu, who was playing with her younger brother, took her younger brother directly into the inner room of the old man's room without letting the man see the two of them.

The old man came to see her yesterday and told her some things.

"Xiaoyu, someone will be coming to our house tomorrow. Take Xiaoyi and hide from that person. Don't let him see your faces. Tell Xiaoyi to keep quiet."

Wang Shiyu nodded and agreed.

Seeing the carriage stopped at her door, she immediately carried her brother and ran to the nearest room, her grandparents' room, and went straight into the inner room.

The grandmother was sewing shoe soles. Looking at the two children, she let them go to the bed to play. She also took some cakes that the old man brought back two days ago and gave them to the two children to eat, and tried her best to keep them quiet.

Xiaoyi is a good child. When she is with her sister, she usually doesn't cry or make a fuss. She just leans on her sister obediently and eats the osmanthus cake slowly.

The grandmother was worried that the child might choke, so she poured two more glasses of water and placed them on the box next to her, where the child could reach them. Then she got up and left the inner room, closing the door behind her.

I don’t know how the conversation went outside, but the old man came in after a while. Seeing the two children chewing osmanthus flowers in sync, he didn’t seem so sad anymore.

Grandma brought the box into the house and put it on the table. The old man didn't avoid the two children and opened the box directly. It was full of silver notes, all with a face value of one thousand taels. In this small village, it might not be possible to save ten taels of silver in a whole year. Now these one thousand taels of silver notes didn't seem to be a big deal.

Grandma's heart beat heavily a few times, but she didn't scream out loud. She had been dependent on the old man all her life. No matter where the old man got these banknotes from, she wouldn't say anything more. Everyone has a secret.

The old man thought for a while, took out a silver note of one thousand taels, closed the box directly, and then called Wang Shiyu out.

"Xiaoyu, I'll give this box to you. No matter what happens to your grandparents and your parents, you must live well. Only by living can there be hope."

Wang Huan didn't know why, but he could feel that his granddaughter still had her own secrets and could preserve these things very well. His mother's relics would also be transported from Kyoto to Yunshan Town one after another in the next few days.

The capital city is not far from here. Even if you bring things with you, you can get there in about three days if you are determined.

It all depends on the woman's determination. You know, that woman was able to force me into this village and has been here for almost thirty years. She is not a good person either. Now that I am willing to give up the title, that woman will probably jump up and give me her things.

There is no need to worry about missing anything. I guess even the things I liked when I was a child can be sent to me. She is just afraid that I will not give her the documents to give up the title. She has been looking for me all these years. Now that I have finally agreed, she will definitely be very happy.

Wang Shiyu looked at the box in her hand and threw it into the space without hesitation. Let her do whatever she wants. Her grandfather probably imagined a lot of pitiful things about her, and she didn't know when he might discover her little secret.
