"Don't worry, even if Ouyang Zhen risks his own life, he'll protect Xue'er!"
The old general knew that Yunniang must know about Xueyatou's special abilities, but as a woman, she certainly wouldn't understand how much of a role Xueyatou's skills would play in the army.
What's most important in general military campaigns? It's food supplies, the provisions carried on the back!
How much food does an army of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people need to eat in a day? Add in the warhorses and other supplies, and the daily consumption would be an astonishing figure.
Even if the imperial court makes preparations, how to escort and protect them are of paramount importance.
In many cases when two sides are at war, they will attack each other's supplies and provisions first. Why?
No matter how high the morale of the opposing army is, they still need to eat, and horses also need food.
Cut off the enemy's supplies. You don't need too much; they can hold out for a day or two, but what about three days? Four days?
Xue Yatou can not only solve the team's food supply problem—she can do it all by herself—but she can also cut off the enemy's food supply. With such a crucial person by Ouyang Zhen's side, he, as her grandfather, feels much more at ease.
“I know, but as Xue’er’s mother, I’m still very worried! Xue’er has always been a very opinionated person, and she might not listen to what I say. But on the battlefield, there is no distinction between men and women. I’m just worried…”
As Yunniang spoke, her eyes reddened. She knew she shouldn't cry at this moment; she should be happy and joyful because her daughter was promising.
But why can't I help but worry?
"Don't worry! I assure you, Xue will be fine. They'll be back in two months at most!"
The old general seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Yunniang, I don't think it's good for you to keep thinking like this. Why don't you go to the palace? Spend more time with the two children. With two children around, the days will pass quickly!"
The old lady agreed: "Yes, Yunniang! You don't know how closely the people in the palace are watching the two children. I would like to bring them out, but the Empress Dowager is not willing!"
Thinking of her two adorable little ones, Yunniang felt much better. Perhaps they were right; she shouldn't be so depressed all the time!
Yunniang made up her mind, and was about to enter the palace the next day when she heard the news that Yan Gang had arrived! She didn't care about going to the palace anymore, since the two little ones were doing well there anyway, it wouldn't matter if she went a day later.
Yunniang simply got into the carriage and returned to the village. On the way, she met Han Qiang and the others, and they all went back together.
After hearing Yan Gang talk about what happened in the village, Yunniang was completely speechless.
"I remember Chrysanthemum wasn't like this when she was little. Although she had a few little schemes, she was still very cute. How did she become like this in just a few days..."
Yunniang was also incredulous. Yan Gang asked solemnly, "Third sister-in-law, I am an outsider, so there are some things I can't say. Why don't you go and ask my elder brother and the others? Nobody in the village wants to keep Han Juhua here."
Yunniang was also at a loss. Looking at Han Qiang's dark face, could she say that they didn't want to keep Han Juhua here either?
"Yunniang, if you ask me, Han Juhua is a menace. If all else fails, let's find her a husband from a faraway family! Just marry her off and don't keep her around!"
Aunt Xu came over early in the morning. She was speechless about what Han Juhua had done. It was really impressive for a woman to have achieved what Han Juhua had.
"Marry someone from far away?"
Yunniang frowned, then suddenly felt that this was a good idea.
Isn't Han Juhua known for causing trouble? Then just stay away from her and don't let her harm you!
"I'll ask my brother and sister-in-law later. No matter what, Han Juhua is their daughter, and they have the right to know!" Yunniang thought for a moment, and if all else failed, she would have to resort to force.
"Yunniang, you're right, I'll go and call them over right now!"
Aunt Xu, being a warm-hearted person, hurriedly ran out to call for help.
At this moment, the couple in Old Master Han's house also had bitter expressions on their faces.
"How did our Chrysanthemum end up like this? Before she left, I repeatedly told her to behave herself in the village and not to cause trouble. How could she do something so shameless?"
Madam Meng looked distressed. She had been strong-willed and shrewd her whole life, but she never expected her daughter to be like this.
Because of this daughter, they can no longer hold their heads up in the village.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Old Han asked irritably, "Juhua was a good girl when she was little. Look at what you've raised her to be like!"
Meng disliked this: "Brother Han, what do you mean? How did you say I taught her to turn out like this? How was I supposed to know she turned out this way?"
"Now Yan Gang has come looking for us, and from what I've heard, he wants to throw Han Juhua out. What do you suggest we do? Are we really just going to ignore her? She's still our own daughter!"
Meng was also at her wits' end. Han Laoda stood up and paced back and forth in the room, feeling even more agitated.
"If all else fails, let's bring her back! I'll keep her in the house to prevent her from causing trouble, okay?"
This was the only solution he could think of.
"this……"
Han Meng hesitated for a moment. She thought to herself, "Han Juhua is such a grown-up. How can you keep her locked up? If she wants to go out, you can't keep her locked up no matter how long you try."
"Boss Han, Yunniang is here and wants you to go over there!"
Upon hearing that Yunniang had arrived, the two men exchanged a glance, realizing that she must have come to deal with their daughter's matter.
But... thinking of his troublesome daughter, Old Han roared, "That rebellious daughter, let her be! Let her live or die as she pleases!"
Madam Han was still somewhat reluctant. Regardless of Han Juhua's personality, she was still her own daughter, and she didn't want to give her up unless absolutely necessary.
...
When Han Laoda and his wife arrived, there weren't many people in Yunniang's family. However, surprisingly, Han Laotai and Han Datou were also there.
"You've come at the right time. Yan Gang came over yesterday, as you probably know. He mainly wanted to talk about Han Juhua's matter."
Upon seeing the person in question, Han Qiang didn't waste any time and laid out the matter directly.
"The idea from Tiger Head Cliff Village is that chrysanthemums can't be kept anymore, Boss Han, what are your thoughts?"
After all, this was Han Juhua's biological father, so Han Qiang still wanted to ask him.
"I...I have no objection! If it really doesn't work out, we'll bring her over, and I'll take good care of her!"
Old Han was speechless. There were so many good children in the world, why was her daughter such a troublesome one? Sometimes she even wished she could strangle her daughter.
