After the silence, some people in the crowd began to lose their footing.
Mustering his courage, he said to Zhen Wanwan, "Mrs. Zhen, it's not that we're unwilling, but we have elderly people at home and young children. If something happens to me, how will they live the rest of their lives?"
Once the first person started, the others also began to talk about their difficulties.
In short, it all boils down to the fact that I can't do it myself.
Zhen Wanwan frowned slightly, looking troubled, and said with distress, "Alas, it's a pity that there are still too few of us in the Zhen family. Even if the whole family works together, it won't be enough. But I know that everyone has their own difficulties, and I can understand."
"In that case, let's choose a day to go up the mountain to avoid trouble! I'll think of other ways to prevent the traitorous king and the Northern Hu people from getting past us and harming everyone."
Grandma Li's original intention was the same as everyone else's: to find a place to hide and wait until things calmed down before coming down.
She was truly terrified! This feeling was like going back to the time when she was fleeing famine, when she was trembling with fear every day, afraid that her life would be in danger and that there would not be enough food.
Now they have finally achieved a stable life, with enough to eat and wear, money to spare, and their own soap business, so they have no worries about food or drink.
How could she bear to let her daughter and children face war?
Ultimately, she's just a mother, and she's selfishly biased towards her own children, not wanting them to suffer even the slightest harm.
Grandma Li looked at Zhen Wanwan, who had already made up her mind. She opened her mouth, but couldn't bring herself to say anything to persuade her.
Zhen Wanwan was her own flesh and blood; she knew that once her daughter made up her mind, nothing could change it.
During this time, she had gotten used to listening to Zhen Wanwan, so even though everyone wanted to hide, Old Lady Li kept quiet and acted as if she was letting her daughter make all the decisions.
Of course, there were also a few villagers who remained silent but quietly sided with Zhen Wanwan, clearly following her arrangements.
These families were mostly those who worked at the Zhen family's soap factory, as well as the Zhou family, who were very close to the Zhen family.
After a long while, Old Lady Li finally changed her mind and supported Zhen Wanwan's choice. After the other families chose to stay, a few more families also chose to stay.
Zhen Wanwan had Cui Jinyi register the names of those willing to stay and help, and then let them disperse on their own. She would go to their house to look for them if anything happened later.
Looking at the name that had barely been written on half a page, Zhen Wanwan nodded; it was within her expectations.
These people, plus their own, are enough.
"Ah Jin, I need you to go into seclusion for a few days to do something... It's like this..."
During her free time, Zhen Wanwan didn't stay idle; she used all her spare money to buy large quantities of chili powder.
She wanted to make this battle unforgettable for the rebel king and the northern barbarians.
Seemingly remembering something, she smiled wickedly, startling the two little ones.
I wonder what 'idea' Mother has come up with this time!
Amidst the tension and panic of the crowd, a major battle was about to erupt!
Zhen Wanwan also arrived at the prefectural city with her men as soon as possible. Lü Yunshen was in the military tent discussing with the generals how to fight the next battle.
Unfortunately, a soldier reported that Zhen Wanwan had arrived!
"Madam! It's dangerous here, why have you come?" a general said urgently.
He was an old man who had followed Zhu Yuan, so he naturally understood what Zhen Wanwan meant to Zhu Yuan.
If Zhen Wanwan were to get into trouble here, I'm afraid the master would really go crazy!
Zhen Wanwan bowed to the generals, and they all stepped aside. She didn't dwell on it and said directly, "I have a way to defeat them without losing a single soldier!"
"Madam, this is a battlefield! We can't afford to be reckless! You should go back and take care of your two young masters!"
Zhen Wanwan was so angry that she laughed. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a rough and uncouth general.
"General, I'm not being unreasonable. Why don't you listen to my suggestion before making a decision?"
The roughneck got angry and instinctively refused: "How can this be! I don't believe you!"
"I think it's a good idea! Please, my lady, speak freely! Your husband is here!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Zhen Wanwan. Zhen Wanwan's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she hugged him tightly!
"My husband! You're finally back!"
