Chapter 68: Calming People's Hearts
"Captain You, Captain Wan, we still need to buy some wine, so we'll go do our work first. Captain Feng has already taken the medicine, so he should get better soon. Don't worry too much."
Upon hearing this, You Chatou nodded slightly.
"Go back early. Roll call should be ready when we get back."
Jun Moye clasped his fists and bowed upon hearing this.
"Thank you for the reminder, Youchatou. Please rest assured that my husband and I know our limits."
The two came to a winery not far away. Su Hanchu bought several pots of good wine, and then he and Jun Moye returned to the carriage and headed to the inn.
Waited to the inn.
Su Hanchu distributed clothes to everyone, and even Chuntao and Jiang Like received a coarse cotton coat.
Sister Chuntao looked at the clothes in their hands and their eyes were filled with tears of emotion. Then they knelt down with their children.
"Master Jun, Young Madam, how can we repay your great kindness?"
Hu Juan also knelt down with her child, her hands holding the clothes trembling slightly. Jiang Like and others also knelt down with clothes in their hands. Even though they were in the family, they could not get any food. It was good enough that they were not robbed, let alone get any clothes.
Su Hanchu squatted down and supported the Chuntao sisters who were in the front.
"Hurry up and don't make any noise. This dress is worth only a few coins. You are all good people, so I will do my best to help you."
Chuntao kowtowed heavily.
"Young Madam, if you don't mind, I, Chuntao, will be yours from now on. When we get to the northwest, as long as my mother and I can survive, we will follow you and do whatever you want. Even if I, Chuntao, blink an eye, I will die a miserable death."
Su Hanchu squatted down and pulled her up with force.
"Pfft, why are you talking about death? So many people have died along the way. It's not easy for us to survive until now. All of you get up. If you really want to, wait until you all reach the northwest alive before you do it."
Jiang Like and others also stood up.
Jiang Like and Jiang Liheng didn't say anything, but in their hearts they had already regarded Su Hanchu and his wife as their masters.
Lu Zhan also stood up and spoke.
"Master, Madam, I, Lu Zhan, am willing to follow the Jun family for the rest of my life. I beg you two to take me in."
Fang Zhiyi also spoke.
"My grandfather would be very happy if he knew that I could follow the young master and the young lady. I am sixteen years old and can do a lot of things. I also want to stay with the Jun family forever."
Tao Zhiwen also spoke.
"Master, Madam, I, Tao Zhiwen, am sixteen years old after the New Year. I was originally a bastard who was not valued by my family. If you are willing to take me in, I am willing to obey your orders for the rest of my life."
The Chen family and the Fang family's main branch have a large number of people and are powerful. The Su family is better. The Jun family is just Su Hanchu with a few women and children. Su Hanchu originally wanted to recruit some people to join the Jun family. Seeing them express their opinions one by one, Su Hanchu looked at Jun Moye.
Jun Moye looked at the people in the room. In fact, Chuntao and the others had children with them, and taking them in wouldn't bring any benefits. However, Su Han had good intentions and had helped them many times since he saw that they had good character.
"Everyone, get some rest first. Let's travel quickly tomorrow. Calculate the distance. If we can hold on for another month, we'll be able to reach the northwest. If you still insist on your current ideas, we'll talk about it later."
Having said that, Jiang Like and others also understood Jun Moye's meaning. This was equivalent to agreeing, but the situation was special now and they couldn't say it out loud.
After the two came out of Chuntao and others' room, they saw Chen Wenlin talking to Liu Shan at the door of Jun's house.
As soon as he saw Jun Moye, Chen Wenlin knelt down in front of him.
"Mo Ye, your uncle is kneeling before you. Please save your grandmother."
Jun Moye slightly turned his body and took Su Hanchu's hand towards Jun's house.
"Master Chen, saving lives is the doctor's job. You might as well go and ask a doctor instead of asking me."
Then he closed the door.
Chen Wenlin rushed over and knocked on the door.
"Jun Moye, that's your grandmother. I've already used up all the money I had on the doctor to prescribe medicine. The doctor said that if she's well cared for, there's still a glimmer of hope. Please give her some money or food to help her get through this ordeal. I'll remember the favor I owe you in the future, Jun Moye..."
Jun Moye suddenly opened the door.
Chen Wenlin fell down due to inertia.
Jun Moye slowly squatted down.
"Chen Wenlin, please stop disturbing the Jun family. What your Chen family owes me is not a favor, but the lives of my parents. The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. What makes you think I can still help the Chen family?"
Chen Wenlin was dazed for a moment when he heard this, and he slowly stood up and murmured in a low voice.
"Retribution, this is the Chen family's retribution..."
At this time, in the Chen family's house, Chen Fang and her mother and son hugged each other for warmth.
Chen Siting looked worried, and her originally rosy lips had turned purple from the cold.
"Mother, what should we do? We have no money left. The little money that father had was used to treat grandmother's illness. This time we have a room like this, but next time we will be squeezed into a large hall like everyone else."
Chen Fang reached out and touched the two pieces of silver in her arms.
"I stole two pieces of silver from your father, but we can't do anything with these two pieces of silver. We can't even use them to buy some food. We have to save our lives."
Chen Siyu's originally dull eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Mom, Mom, please buy me some steamed buns. I'm really starving."
Chen Fang's face was troubled when she heard this, as she had been feeling hungry for a long time.
Chen Siting also spoke.
"Mom, buy some. You need to eat something too. We had diarrhea last night and walked all day today."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fang looked at her daughter and thought of the jade pendant she had obtained from Chen Wenlin. She got up and went out to find Ning Chatou. After pawning the jade pendant, she got a lot of silver in her hands.
I bought a lot of steamed buns and wrapped them in oil paper and took them back to the inn. If it were before, I would have had a good meal after finally arriving at the inn, but now I am short of money. When I get to the northwest, I still have to find a way to buy land and build a house, so I really have to save money.
The mother and her two children hid in a corner, and Chen Fang gave Chen Siyu and Chen Siting a meat bun each.
Seeing this, the others realized that Chen Fang would no longer care about others, so they all started to go out and think of their own solutions.
Chen Siyu took the meat bun and ate it greedily, as if she was a person in the desert who had found an oasis and was desperately greedily eating in hope.
Chen Siting remained elegant. She put the bun to her mouth, took a bite, and then chewed it slowly. The aroma of meat spread in her mouth. It was originally a pleasant taste, but it suddenly made Chen Siting feel nauseous.
My appetite disappeared inexplicably, and my stomach churned.
