"Village chief, you go over the mountain, the three of us will not follow."

The little daughter-in-law spoke simply, with a hint of complacency in her tone.

A villager who was familiar with her hurriedly asked.

"What's the matter, where are you going? You don't want to climb the mountain by yourself? That's impossible! The mountain is too dangerous, so let's go with everyone."

The villagers are kind, but unfortunately the little daughter-in-law doesn't appreciate it.

She pointed to the city gate and smiled.

"We're going to pass through the city gate directly, so we don't have to go over the mountain with everyone and waste that effort."

The villagers were stunned when they heard this, but their faces changed instead.

If you pass through the city gate, you have to pay money for the road.

In other words, their family can take out 15 taels!

Then yesterday she kept urging the Li family to take the money, what has happened!

I don't want to part with my own money, but I want to take advantage of others!

The more people thought about it, the angrier they became, and they looked at the family of three with a bit of disdain and anger.

The man couldn't bear it, and whispered.

"Village chief, my child is weak, and I'm afraid he won't be able to climb the mountain. Let's go to the official road over there and wait for everyone..."

"No need!" The village chief interrupted him with a dark face.

"As long as you leave, you will go your own way in the future. If you see it, you should not know each other. You don't need to wait."

"That's right, whoever wants you to pretend to be kind, get out!"

"Shameless thing, you obviously have money, but yesterday you forced Aunt Li's family to give you money, it really broke your conscience!"

"Everyone will go their own way in the future, and your life and death have nothing to do with the village!"

The words of the villagers were harsh, and the shy man groaned a few times, but was speechless.

On the other hand, the little daughter-in-law curled her lips and wanted to leave after tearing up the child.

But Li Laosi took a step forward and blocked their way.

The little daughter-in-law was startled, and hid behind the man, shouting.

"What are you going to do, everyone is watching, you killed us, you will go to jail!"

Li Laosi snorted coldly, disdaining to talk to her, and only said to the man.

"You can leave, but since we won't see you again, we have to pay back the food we borrowed from our family in the village."

"Yes, return the food!" The villagers immediately followed suit.

"Don't you have money, don't you want to go through the city gate? Then why don't you pay back the food you owe?"

"Must pay back!"

The little daughter-in-law was anxious, and shouted unconvinced, "Why should we pay it back, Hu Laosan and the others didn't pay it back before!"

Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and went forward, and said coldly, "Third Hu and the others just don't know how to be grateful, and don't know how to take care of each other. But you are a white-eyed wolf, and you are plotting against our family!"

The little daughter-in-law blushed, regretting it very much, she just got carried away with complacency.

If I had known earlier, I would have left directly, and I would not have been forced to pay back the food.

"We have no food, we've almost finished eating! Can't we just spit it out?"

"Then give me the money! Aren't you rich? The food is discounted and given at the market price!"

The village chief also hated him so much that he settled down with one sentence.

The little daughter-in-law and the man were surrounded by the villagers, so how dare they not give it.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and gave thirty catties of sorghum at twenty Wen per catty.

Mrs. Li took the broken silver in her hand, turned her head and left.

Only then did the villagers get out of the way, and watched coldly the young daughter-in-law and the man flee with their children.

"I usually think it's a good one, but I really know people and face but don't know the heart."

"That's right, there are too many white-eyed wolves."

The villagers were so angry that they kept cursing. The village chief waved his hand and turned to look at the Li family who had already started walking towards the foot of the mountain.

"At this time, you should know how rare people like the Li family are. They can pass through the city gate, but because they brought us, they want to go over mountains and endure hardships together. You guys, please be more conscientious. Who will dare to treat Li in the future? There is something wrong with the family, don't blame me for digging out your black hearts with my own hands!"

Everyone also looked over and saw Li Laosan helping Uncle Zhao onto the back of the mule, while the other two old men with poor legs were dragged onto the wooden sledge by Li Laosi and Jia Yi.

At such a time, these three old men are a proper burden.

But the Li family would rather spend such a great effort than abandon them.

This kind of love and righteousness makes everyone blush.

At the same time, they were extremely at ease in their hearts.

Following the Li family, I don't know what the future holds, but as long as they are obedient and have a conscience, even if they encounter difficulties, they don't have to be afraid of being left behind...

After twists and turns, when everyone got into the forest, the sun had already risen as high as one person.

The gates of the city were still blocked, even more crowded than yesterday.

Occasionally someone looked over, and suddenly saw people from Qingshui Village walking up the mountain.

"Oh, it seems that someone is climbing the mountain?"

"Cross the mountain? That's right, what are we doing here, we can climb the mountain and bypass the city gate!"

"Yes, over the mountain, over the mountain!"

"Why didn't I think that I wasted two days of effort!"

As soon as they spoke, someone started packing up their things and rushed to the hills on both sides of the county town.

The people on the outskirts didn't know what was going on, but after hearing about it one after another, they moved faster and almost turned around and ran away.

The soldiers at the gate of the city were still proud at first, but they were shocked when they suddenly found that the people had receded like a tide. Could it be that the royal driver has arrived?

Or which high-ranking official in Kyoto arrived on the road ahead of schedule?

But it didn't take long for them to figure it out.

Because the mountain buns on both sides of the county seat are like green steamed buns, densely covered with ants.

But all the people who had no carriages and no money started to climb up the mountain with their families.

The soldiers at the gate of the city jumped their feet angrily, how did these idiots suddenly become smart.

No one thought of it a few days ago, but now they are suddenly enlightened!

Of course they didn't know that the culprit had already climbed to the top of the mountain.

The village chief was very tired carrying the burden and supporting his old wife.

On the way, the old wife was picked up by Zhao Yuru.

Tao Hongying carried the good news on her back and supported Mrs. Li.

Jiaren's Jiayi's Jiahuan and Li Laosan were carrying their luggage, and they even wanted to talk about Jia'an's Jiaxi.

Li Laoer carried the basket and led the big green mule.

Uncle Zhao on the mule kept nagging, "Let me come down for a while, let your mother and the children come up."

But the second brother Li refused. Uncle Zhao lost a foot and could barely walk on weekdays.

He would definitely not be able to walk in such a mountain with no roads at all.

Li Laosi and Jiayi had the heaviest burden. Not only did they have to pull the two old men, but they also put a bag of grain on the sledge.

But the two seemed to be more relaxed than everyone else, and they were extremely hot to watch.

A few young men in the village walked ahead, cutting open grass, branches and vines with sickles in their hands from time to time.

It is convenient for the old and weak women and children behind to walk, reducing a lot of stumbling.

The old and young in the village were very tired, and looking at the old men sitting on the sledge, they were really envious.

Thinking about it instead, their exhaustion didn't seem so unbearable anymore.

Jiayin was lying in the basket on the old woman's back, looking at the crowd while dangling, wanting to tell them.

This is a sense of security, a sense of security that does not abandon or give up!

Mrs. Li occasionally turned her head to see her granddaughter in high spirits, she really couldn't laugh or cry.

At a time like this, the child still has some energy left.

She hastily pulled the fine sand and covered her granddaughter completely, for fear that insects and the like would fall from the tree and scare her granddaughter.

After finally climbing to the top of the mountain, the village chief called to rest for a quarter of an hour.
