Xiushui and the old lady looked at each other.
It seems that the cool eagle mount is no longer necessary. It is better for them to have a legitimate reason to enter the city.
"In that case, please wait a moment, Madam. I will tell my family and then bring my granddaughter with you into the mansion."
"Oh, it's my fault. I was too impatient. Of course I have to tell my family about this.
You guys go and make the arrangements, I'll be waiting for you here."
So the old lady called Xiuai and Changxuan and told them that she was going to the city for treatment.
Xiushui also asked Mrs. Jiang if her aunt, who also knew medicine, could come with her. She also asked if her younger sister, who had no mother and always clung to her, could be brought along.
The old lady took a look and thought, "Oh, anyway, she also likes this family because they are sensible and know when to advance and retreat."
Instead of bringing one or two people into the city, it’s better to do them a favor.
"Old sister, my yard is very big. Instead of living outside the city, you and your family might as well follow me into the city and rest for a night or two.
It's better than resting outside the city, but there are a lot of people at night, so you might have to squeeze in."
"This, isn't good!"
The old lady was also moved.
But if I go into the city like this, the cost of entering the city alone will cost me a lot.
Although they came to do good deeds, they were taking advantage of the situation and eating for free. But no matter how you take advantage, it's not the way to take advantage.
For 24 people, the cost of entering the city alone is twelve taels!
However, Mrs. Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all.
"Sister, you are worried about the cost of entering the city, don't worry, those fees are only for you who are fleeing famine.
But if I bring you into the city with me as a guarantor, I won't have to pay the high entrance fee. Besides, my nephew is also on duty at the gate."
Okay, they have people, and the charges seem to be flexible.
It seems that this targeted charge is intended to prevent refugees from entering the city and causing riots.
After hearing what Old Lady Jiang said, Xiushui happily went back to call people.
When the whole village heard that their whole family could move to the city, they were so envious.
Lao Qian sighed again.
"Xiushui is a girl who is blessed, very lucky, and very fortunate."
Lao Li nudged his elbow. "Keep your voice down! If others find out, they'll get on top of you."
"That's right, this is just something we two brothers should talk about, don't let outsiders know."
Chu Laowu's wife glanced at them and said, "Look at the way you two old guys look, and the noise you make, I can't help but listen to it."
Humph, though, she didn't understand what great fortune meant, but she did know she had to befriend Xiushui's family. She just had to follow the ways these two foxes knew.
Seeing that other people were looking at her family with jealousy and hatred, the old lady still told the village chief.
"We are able to enter the city thanks to someone else's help. We will meet up with the people who are doing the shopping in the city tomorrow.
You all should be more vigilant tonight. I think the more people there are, the more unstable and chaotic it will be.
Those of you who are on duty at night still have to dig traps. These things cannot be sloppy."
The old village chief agreed. "Yes, after running all this way, I finally realized that wild animals aren't scary, but people are.
We'll see you tomorrow, but you can't just leave us and our family alone."
"No, absolutely not."
After everything was said and done, the Wen family happily followed him towards the city gate.
Behind them, the people in the village looked at them with envy and jealousy.
Old Qian and Old Li were even more amused. "This girl is so lucky! It's a pity that I don't have a son, otherwise I'd really like to make a family mate..."
Old Qian's words made Old Li fall into deep thought...
In order not to embarrass Old Mrs. Jiang, the family changed their clothes in the carriage and just wiped their faces with a wet towel.
Although it’s still not very clean, at least the hair is not messy and the clothes are not dirty.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at this neatly-kept family of more than twenty people, the men were handsome, and the women were either pretty or heroic, and she was so envious.
"Old sister, your family is so handsome. No matter whether they are young or grown up, wow, they are all energetic young men."
In the eyes of the old lady, people around 30 years old are considered young men.
A spirited young man.
Xiushui's eyebrows curved as she listened. This old lady had actually accidentally mentioned a modern internet slang, and she liked it.
"My daughters and wives are all spirited young ladies too."
Old Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Yes, a spirited young man and a spirited young woman, a perfect match."
The group entered the city in such a grand manner. In order to make them feel more comfortable, the old lady settled them in a separate courtyard for storing goods after asking for their opinions.
“This used to be a place for storing goods, but the weather has been bad recently and there is no goods to store here.
Why don’t you just stay here for one night and I’ll eat for a while…”
Wen Bibo quickly waved his hands.
"We have enough food for our family, so you don't have to worry about that. This arrangement has already provided the greatest convenience for our family."
Seeing her insistence, Mrs. Jiang said no more.
Xiushui and her younger sister were going to follow the old lady into the mansion to see a doctor.
But the old lady liked Hei Mei and Wen Bibo, so she invited them to go with her.
In this case, the old lady only told them not to be stingy in the yard and to make a delicious meal for them so that they could continue their journey tomorrow.
The sons and daughters-in-law were very reluctant to let them go. They watched them leave with eager eyes before turning back.
"Are we really going to make something delicious?"
As the head of the family, the second son is now forced to take the lead and make decisions.
I originally thought that since my mother and the others are not around, we can just make something to fill our stomachs.
but……
He was met with the pitiful and expectant looks of Soo Ai and the others.
"Listen to mom and let us cook something delicious. It's hard to cook outside with so many people watching. Today is a rare opportunity, so let's satisfy our cravings."
The kids cheered when they heard this, and they all said that Second Uncle was the best, Second Uncle was the greatest, and Second Uncle was the most elder-like.
After hearing this flattery, Uncle Wen narrowed his eyes in a smile.
Fortunately, he still knew that he had to maintain the dignity of the head of the family, so he smiled in his heart, but still acted like it was no big deal.
Changxuan clicked his tongue and murmured to Changkang and the others.
"Brother Kang, I've noticed your father is becoming more and more like the head of a family. If he had been like this before, he wouldn't have been so suppressed by Changlin's father."
Chang Kang was also very happy to see this change in his father, and he puffed out his chest.
"My father has always been very good. He was just forced to restrain himself because of the pressure from the old man."
"Yes, that old man is really mean. I really suspect that he only had my uncle as his son. He is the one who carries water for us, his children and grandchildren."
