Lin Wanwan was delighted, knowing that her father completely believed her prediction.
She exuded confidence and looked very energetic.
"Well, father, I predict that the Northern Barbarians will attack Qingzhou in ten days."
"In six or seven days at most, this news will spread throughout the entire northern border. By then, the price of grain will rise to its highest point. We must then quickly dispose of the grain and exchange it for cash. We must then leave the city and head south as quickly as possible before anyone else can react."
"Of course, we also have to leave enough food for our own use to avoid any accidents along the way."
This time, Lin Wanwan gave the specific time when the Northern Barbarians would break into the city. Lin Wufeng felt relieved and looked at Lin Wanwan with satisfaction and nodded.
"As expected of me, Lin Wufeng's daughter, you are really talented!"
"This is one thousand taels of silver. Something happened at home when you just returned home, and your father didn't have time to give you a grand welcome banquet. This is your father's compensation, a little gift from me. You can spend it as you wish."
There was joy hidden in Lin Wanwan's eyes, she returned to the Lin family just to enjoy herself, but she didn't expect that the Lin family was suddenly looted by rampant bandits!
Many people in the Lin family secretly said that she was a disaster star, who brought bad luck with her and brought unrest to the family as soon as she returned home.
...
...
Her biological mother, Mrs. Lin, no longer had the good attitude she had initially shown her, let alone carefully buying her clothes, headgear, and pocket money.
Now that she helps the Lin family get through this crisis, her father will definitely think highly of her.
Then, let's see who will give her a cold shoulder!
Lin Wanwan did not make excuses and accepted it readily without any shy attitude like a little girl.
She said to Lin Wufeng openly, "Then I wish you success in your plan and a lot of money!"
Lin Wufeng now has a good impression of his daughter who just returned home.
She is steady, generous and not pretentious in her work, and has a mistress-like demeanor. She is worth cultivating.
"Haha, I'm borrowing your daughter's good words. By the way, you must not reveal your ability to others. If you have any news in the future, come to find your father in time, and we can plan together."
"Yes, father, your daughter knows the importance of this matter. With you in charge, we will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
“Haha, well said!”
Lin Wanwan left happily with the huge sum of money.

On the road to escape famine.
After the people of Taohua Village had eaten and drunk their fill, it was time to set off on their journey.
Su Yunhai looked around and saw that the entire road was blocked by people from Baishan Village.
He could only ask the people in Baishan Village to pass the message to the front and let the people in front move and hurry on their way.
The total number of people fleeing famine in Baishan Village was more than 150.
There are more than thirty members of the Shen family, and the rest are all from the Wang family.
The leader of the Baishan Village team in this escape was Wang Kui, the patriarch of the Wang family.
The villagers of Baishan Village only obey his commands.
No one cares about the people from Taohua Village at all.
"Who are you? You told me to go and I'll leave. Why should I listen to you?"
"That's right. We are from Baishan Village. Why are you from Taohua Village giving orders?"
"What scholar? We in the Wang family also have scholars, two of them. What do you think of the scholars in Taohua Village? Go away. We still need to cool down here for a while."
The people in Taohua Village became angry when they saw that the people in Baishan Village were so disrespectful to them.
The population of Taohua Village combined is several times greater than that of Baishan Village.
What's more, they had just killed some bandits yesterday, so they still had some evil spirit on them.
The hot-tempered man immediately started quarreling with the Wang family.
The Shen family all knew that Su Yunhai was the son-in-law of their Shen family and a scholar. He was also the one who organized the escape from famine. Naturally, they would not join the Wang family in bullying their own family members.
Shen Huaian frowned slightly when he saw the Wang family bullying his son-in-law.
He immediately asked his younger brother Shen Huaikang to go to Wang Kui, the patriarch of the Wang family, to discuss the matter.
"Patriarch Wang, it's getting late, and we should hurry on our way. Do you think we should organize everyone to hurry on our way? After all, we are trying to escape famine, and we can't just be lax like this." Shen Huaian looked at Wang Kui kindly and said.
Wang Kui was sitting in his own carriage, feeling a little confused.
He also heard people in the team picking on each other, but ignored them.
Who made the people of Taohua Village want to be the masters of their Wang family?
It was a good noise.
"Haha, it's the Shen brothers."
Wang Kui slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two brothers of the Shen family with a smile on his face.
"It's not that we don't want to go. Look at the scorching sun in the sky. It's not easy for us to travel under such a strong sun. Let's wait for another half an hour until the sun is not so scorching before we continue our journey."
The Shen Huaian brothers did not expect that this old Wang would not give them any face at all, and they also figured out his thoughts in their hearts.
"Patriarch Wang, we all make a living from the soil. What kind of hardships have we not endured? We have to flee from famine, and we don't know how many difficulties and crises we will encounter along the way. If we can't even endure this little bit of hardship, we might as well just go home and lie on the kang." Shen Huaian's patience ran out and he couldn't help but be angry.
Wang Kui didn't expect that old man Shen would dare to speak to him like that. He looked at him with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Old Shen, I agreed to flee the famine with your Shen family this time because of the good relationship between the Shen family and the Wang family."
"Otherwise, without the protection of our Wang family, your Shen family of more than 30 people would have to endure a lot of hardships on the road of fleeing famine. Don't be confused about the inside and the outside and ask for trouble."
Wang Kui's threat was obvious.
Shen Huaian and Shen Huaikang's hearts sank, and they looked at each other for a few seconds.
Shen Huaian said, "Then don't bother Patriarch Wang. We, the Shen family, will not go with you. Please ask your people to make way for us. We will go ahead."
Wang Kui didn't expect the Shen family to make such a decision, and his face immediately darkened.
"Chen Huaian, it was you who persuaded us to escape together, and it was you who asked our people to wait for your son-in-law and his family here."
"It was your son-in-law and his family who were not punctual. They made us wait here for two hours in the hot sun. Now, are you going to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
Shen Huaian's temper also rose, and his voice rose several degrees.
"Haha, Mr. Wang, did I ask you to wait? I told you to wait by yourself and let you go first, but you didn't want to be the first to go because you were afraid of encountering any danger and insisted on waiting here together. Now it's our fault? You really are getting more shameless as you grow older."
"Also, don't keep saying that we persuaded you to flee the famine together. Since your Wang family is so unhappy, why don't you just go back? After all, we have just left the village. You can go back in a few steps."
After saying that, he and his brother returned to their team.
