"Uncle Li Zheng, how dare I say such nonsense? After I heard the news, I ran back quickly and didn't tell my mother-in-law or Jin Yu.
If you hadn't protected us like this today, I...I wouldn't have dared to tell you, I know this is a stupid thing."
"And even if I say it, people may not believe me."
Lin Jiao's voice became much softer as she spoke, "Uncle Li Zheng, although I have only been married for three years, I know that the uncles and aunts in the village are good people and they often take care of my mother-in-law and several children. Let me tell you, it's really
I don’t want anything to happen to anyone…”
"Uncle understands what you mean, Wife-in-law A Yuan, from now on you prepare what you want to prepare and don't say anything else. Do you understand?"
"Well, I understand."
Lin Jiao nodded quickly.
"Uncle, I'll go back first."
"Go back and take good care of your mother-in-law."
After Li Zheng finished speaking, he hurried back home.
When Lin Jiao went back, Jin Yu and Xiao Yan had not returned yet, and Luo Luo and Jiang Shi were making breakfast in the kitchen.
Hearing the sound of opening the door, Luoluo ran out first.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is back."
"Jiaojiao is back."
Hearing that her daughter-in-law was back, Jiang groped her way out.
"Mom, didn't I tell you when I left that you would make breakfast when I came back?"
Jiang couldn't see, where could he make breakfast? What if he got burned?
"It's okay, Luoluo is here to help me."
Jiang waved her hands indifferently. She was worried about Lin Jiao, "Has everything been resolved? What did Wang Lanhua say?"
"Not only has the matter been resolved, mother, please tell me what is this?"
Lin Jiao put the money into Jiang's hand.
"silver?"
Jiang was surprised, it must be a lot to hold so heavy.
"Jiaojiao, did you ask Sun Qiang to pay for the money?"
"Um!"
Lin Jiao nodded, holding Jiang's hand and walking into the house.
"Luoluo, go watch the fire first. I'll say a few words to my mother and then come over to help you."
"Okay sister-in-law."
Luoluo is a very obedient little girl.
After entering Jiang's bedroom, Lin Jiao closed the door and told Jiang what she had just said to Li Zheng.
After hearing this, Jiang seemed to be frightened and did not respond for a long time.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Lin Jiao looked at Jiang with some worry.
It took a long time for Jiang to find her voice. She held Lin Jiao's hand tremblingly, her voice trembling, "Jiaojiao, are you telling the truth?
That King An is really rebelling and wants to attack our Yunzhou?"
"Um."
Lin Jiao nodded, "Mom, we must prepare things as soon as possible in the past few days and leave Yunzhou."
"But...but what will happen to our family when we leave?"
And the boss, what if he comes back as a soldier and can't find us?"
Lin Jiao wanted to tell Jiang that according to the plot in the book, Pei Yuan would not be able to come back for another four to five years.
But no.
She comforted Jiang, "Mom, don't worry, I will leave a message at home and tell my husband where we went.
I will also write to my husband before I leave to explain clearly the situation here.
Mom, if the family is gone, we can continue to build it, but if the people are gone, there really is nothing left."
"Mother understands, mother understands, mother agrees with what you are doing, but mother cannot accept it for a while. Give mother some time, and you can go about your business. Mother promises not to hold you back."
Jiang promised immediately.
Lin Jiao was amused by Jiang's three consecutive words of understanding.
Can a mother still be so cute?
Pei Yuan's mother is so cute that she really wants to snatch her away and hide her.
"Sister-in-law, we are back."
Outside, Xiaoyan's voice came.
"Mom, Xiaoyan and the others are back, let's go out first."
"Oh, get out, get out!"
Jiang quickly stood up and asked Lin Jiao to help her out.
"Mom, the steamed stuffed buns given by aunt Li Zheng's family still have meat in them. They are delicious. You and your sister-in-law should try them quickly."
Xiaoyan carefully handed the buns in her arms to Lin Jiao and Jiang, just like she was offering a treasure.
Their family used to eat meat buns a lot, but since their father passed away and my eldest brother was drafted into the army, the family has never eaten meat again. He has almost forgotten what meat tastes like.
"Mom, if you're not hungry, give it to your sister-in-law."
Jiang loved his daughter-in-law the most.
"We'll eat together later."
Lin Jiao knew that if she didn't eat it, Jiang would definitely not eat it either.
"Sister-in-law, when we came back just now, we saw Brother Liang from Uncle Li Zheng's family hurried to the county town. Is there anything going on?"
No matter how mature Pei Jinyu appears, he is still just a thirteen-year-old child.
"It's okay. I should go find out what's going on. Let's have breakfast first. After breakfast, Jin Yu went to the county town with his sister-in-law. We need to buy some things."
Lin Jiao was afraid that speaking out the matter rashly would scare Xiaoyan and Luoluo, so she planned to tell Jin Yu when there was no one around on the way to the county seat.
"Yes, let's eat first. Jin Yu must listen to your sister-in-law, do you understand?"
Jiang knew that he couldn't help, so he could only try not to cause trouble to Lin Jiao.
Faced with Jiang's unreserved trust, Lin Jiao was really moved. She thought her biological mother was nothing more than this.
"I know, mother!"
After breakfast, leaving the two little ones at home to take care of Jiang, Lin Jiao took Jin Yu to the county seat.
On the way, Lin Jiao told Jin Yu that she was about to leave Yunzhou. Who knew that after hearing this, this boy would trust her as much as Jiang did.
"Sister-in-law, I trust you and I will listen to you in everything."
"Then let's go buy a car and a mule today. Mom's eyesight is bad and it's hard to walk."
Lin Jiao only had eighteen taels of silver in her hands. She couldn't afford a horse. Oxen and donkeys drove too slowly. Mules were cheap and had endurance, so they were the most suitable.
After entering the county town, Lin Jiao first took Jin Yu to the Xian stable in the county town, which is the place where livestock are sold in the county town.
When Lin Jiao was working as a stuntwoman, she wanted to learn how to ride a horse, so she learned to raise horses from a master who raised horses on the set. She felt that the quality of mules was similar to that of horses.
There was a mixed crowd here in the Xian stable, but Lin Jiao was not afraid.
Lin Jiao quickly bought a very strong mule with five taels of silver.
"Sister-in-law, shall we buy a mule cart now?"
Leading the mule out of the stable, Jin Yu looked at Lin Jiao with light in his eyes.
This was the first time he knew that the sister-in-law was so powerful that she would go crazy trying to bargain with others. The seven-tael mule was forcibly killed by the sister-in-law for only five taels of silver.
Saved a full two taels of silver.
That was only two taels of silver, and it cost a family with poor conditions more than a year.
"Um!"
Lin Jiao nodded, and just as she was about to leave, she saw several people hurriedly running into the stalls where horses were sold.
Judging by the clothes these people were wearing, they looked like they were stewards from a wealthy family.
If a steward comes to buy a horse, it can be said that the family is in an emergency. If several stewards suddenly come to buy a horse together, and they are all so anxious, the matter may not be simple.
