Jiang Huaixu did not refuse. In such occasions, she usually just needed to listen.
To prevent outsiders from hearing, Jiang Zhengmao asked each household to send out a person who could make the decision, and follow him to a place far away from the refugees to discuss whether they should reclaim the land together or settle down separately.
He thought there would be some controversy, but the result was far beyond Jiang Huaixu's expectations - everyone unanimously agreed to open up the wasteland together.
"You'd better think it over carefully. We may not be able to grow crops next year if we open up wasteland together. Don't complain if you don't have food to eat then." Jiang Zhengmao said worriedly.
"Oh no! What are you talking about, Village Chief? We've been traveling together for a long time and know each other well. If we really get separated, we'll probably be looked down upon by the locals. That's unacceptable!"
"The money we save will last us a year, and the belt will be gone!"
"That's right, what's there to be afraid of? As long as I have arms and legs and enough strength to do the work, I'm not afraid of anything!"
······
Listening to the villagers' words, Jiang Huaixu couldn't help but narrow his eyes, which were filled with anticipation.
"Then it's settled!" Jiang Zhengmao made the final decision. "Tonight, everyone can't relax. We still have to stand guard. There are too many refugees, and if things get chaotic, people could be trampled to death."
Then he called out a few names.
After arranging the night watch, the group returned to their simple tent as darkness fell. Jiang Zhengmao immediately rushed to the Lian family and was relieved to know that they could also settle down directly.
Along the way, Lian's family took good care of the villagers. If the relationship can be maintained, they will benefit. When the situation improves, they can also repay the favor.
After discussing it with Jiang's Qian Xiuzhu and Jiang Boliang, they didn't take down their tent or prepare any food, but simply brought out some pancakes to eat. It's always better to be low-key when there are many people.
At night, many people slept in tents outside. Jiang Huaixu, Fu Tuan, Jiang Rong and Xiaofeng slept in one of the carriages.
Ever since arriving at the gates of Ganzhou City, Jiang Huaixu had worried that Fu Tuan might attract attention again, so he had him hide in the carriage. Although Fu Tuan had complaints, he knew there were many people outside and didn't dare to show his face.
At midnight, Jiang Huaixu was in deep sleep when she vaguely heard some movement outside. She woke up the sleeping Fu Tuan, turned on the light screen to check the situation outside, and found that another wave of people had arrived.
The soldiers who were woken up treated this group of people very rudely and kept cursing at them.
Jiang Huaixu looked for a while but didn't notice anything unusual, so he fell asleep again.
The next morning, she heard Jiang Sanlang yelling "Little Sister" at the top of his lungs. She thought she was dreaming, but as she lifted the car curtain, she heard Jiang Sanlang say, "Little Sister, Qian Dazhi and his family are chasing us!"
