Chapter 169 Disaster Victims
Er Ya and San Ya looked at Da Ya as if they had seen a ghost.
"Big sister, don't talk nonsense, Dad will come back." Sanya said seriously.
"We'll see when the time comes!" Er Ya pouted. "I'll like whoever Mom likes. Anyway, I'm going to follow Mom. You can follow Dad if you want."
Sanya said, "Second sister, you have no conscience! Don't forget that it was Father who saved you."
Er Ya lowered her voice and said, "You're the one who has no conscience. Dad saved us and Mom saved us too. Everything you wear, everything you eat, is from Mom. Even though I haven't been with Mom for very long, I still like her more."
“If Dad really has another woman, I won’t stay with Dad. I will never let someone else be my mother.”
As Er Ya spoke, she ripped off the strap of her purse.
Whoever makes her life difficult, she'll make them suffer too. That woman in the letter, just you wait.
Sanya panicked, "I won't admit it either, and you can't call me heartless!"
Daya said expressionlessly, "Sanya, what if your real mother comes looking for you, will you still not acknowledge her?"
Sanya pointed to Ye Wan's room, "My mother is in the room!"
Daya said in a deep voice, "Then remember what you said today, Mother will always be our mother."
"Big sister, you're acting strange today. Why are you telling us this out of the blue?" Er Ya looked at her suspiciously.
"nothing."
Daya lowered her head to embroider, and she always felt a kind of calm before the storm.
Perhaps when I see my father again, things will be different from now.
"You three, come out here right now! Your mother is looking for you!"
...
...
"Lord Lin, come out quickly! Your mother is here!"
Lin Anyuan, who had just taken a sip of water, looked up, his handsome eyes shining brightly.
"My mother?"
"Yes, Lord Lin, come and take a look."
Lin Anyuan didn't go over; instead, Qin the Big Guy brought the person over.
A woman covered in patches, her face pale and colorless, burst into tears the moment she saw Lin Anyuan.
"My son, my son! I've finally found you!"
“You’ve suffered all these years. You were only this big when I jumped off the cliff, and now you’ve grown so much…”
The woman stared at Lin Anyuan, laughing and crying at the same time. It took her a while to realize that Lin Anyuan's expression was too calm.
"My son, why don't you say anything?"
The woman took a step forward as she spoke, looking at Lin Anyuan with pleading eyes.
Lin Anyuan looked intrigued. "Keep singing. I'll see how good your skills are and consider whether I should set up a stage and troupe for you."
"My son, don't you even recognize your mother? Have I become ugly?" The woman frantically touched her face.
At the same time, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and a cold light shot towards Lin Anyuan.
Lin Anyuan was prepared and kicked the woman away. She spat out blood, glared at Lin Anyuan hatefully, and lay motionless on the ground for a moment.
"Holy crap! Lord Lin, isn't this your mother?" Qin the big guy finally realized.
Lin Anyuan glanced at Qin the Big Guy, "What do you think? Qin Gan, if you hadn't followed me for so many years, I would really like to crack open your brain and see if it's full of shit! Which eye of yours thinks this is my mother!"
"She said she's your mother! That's why I brought her back. Damn it, you old hag, you dare to lie to me!" Qin the big guy kicked the person on the ground in a fit of rage. "Get up, stop pretending to be dead!"
"Stop kicking, the person is really dead." A person nearby said speechlessly.
"He bit open the poison sac hidden in his teeth; the method must have been used by assassins trained by a powerful family."
"Someone wants to kill Lord Lin?"
The eldest son, Murong Wu, also came upon hearing the commotion. "Who exactly are these people? Could they have been sent by some family in the capital? These people really have a long reach; they've probably already heard of your reputation."
"I don't know," Lin Anyuan said, not paying attention to the assassin, and glanced at the mountains not far away.
The Lunar New Year is approaching; I wonder if he'll be able to go back before then.
"Second Young Master, the New Year is just around the corner, and everyone's morale is low. How about we set up camp where we are?"
The more critical the situation, the more composed Lin Anyuan remained, even though their whereabouts had already been exposed.
"Why set up camp? Let's take Min County in one fell swoop and go back to claim our credit!" Murong Wu couldn't wait to go back and claim his reward.
He had been to Min County before, but this time he specifically asked his father to come so that he could see that he was the most outstanding son.
Lin Anyuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable. "Second Young Master, let's set up camp. There might be a trap in Min County."
...
...
Before we knew it, it was already the twelfth lunar month, and the weather actually got a few days hotter.
"Knock knock knock—"
Before dawn, Ye Wan was awakened by a series of urgent gong sounds.
When she came out dressed, Huigu was already standing in the courtyard.
What happened?
"It must be another group of refugees arriving. The same gong sound has been heard the last few times. Madam, why don't you go back to sleep for a while? I'll go check on them." Huigu said, already walking outside.
"They're already up. I'm not going to sleep anymore. You go ahead, I'll make breakfast and come over."
By the time Nengye bent over, it was already broad daylight, and the village entrance was in complete chaos.
One of the displaced people shouted, "Didn't you settle all the others before? Why won't you help us?"
"We fled all the way here, and we heard that we could survive here, but we were stopped outside!"
"Please, please save us! We're desperate! If you can take us in, we'll do any kind of work!"
The crowd blocking the village was a dense mass of people, with the elderly, women, and children at the front pleading incessantly.
The cries of children and women mingled together, a heartbreaking sight.
As soon as Ye Wan stood still, the village chief rushed over, "Madam Ye, what should we do now!"
"There are just too many people! If Li Si hadn't been holding his knife to keep everyone in check, these people would have stormed into the village and started looting!"
Ye Wan's face darkened. "Have everyone block this way. Under no circumstances should anyone be allowed in!"
"Since the village has the ability to save people, why should they stand by and watch them die? You let people in the last few times, didn't you?"
Ye Wan looked at the person who spoke. Pei San was also in the village. She didn't know when he had arrived.
He sneered, "Young Master Pei, if you're so kind, why don't you go and save him? Don't just stand there and talk like you're not in his shoes."
"you……"
Pei San's expression was not good.
Ye Wan interrupted him, "What's wrong with me? Do you only talk the talk and like to morally blackmail others, but you don't actually do anything yourself?"
Afu was furious and said to Ye Wan, "My young master is alone right now and naturally can't do anything. Since you have the ability to save these people, why..."
Ye Wan said, "Oh, your young master is all alone? You're not human! How can someone who's not human speak human language? My apologies!"
Afu was furious; he had never seen a woman like this before.
"If there were fewer people, we could help them get through the winter and there would be a way to survive. But there are so many people. We are not gods. What should we do?"
The village chief sighed in worry.
If these people were really starving and rushed in, it would definitely result in a lose-lose situation.
Ye Wan pondered for a moment, then pointed at Afu, "Go and shout, we're willing to distribute porridge at the village entrance!"
