Dragging the family to flee famine?Don't be afraid, I have room to fill the granary

Chapter 18 Change Your Mind
Tao Qiqi sighed and replied: "This is the heart of the world's poor parents! Okay, mother, stop thinking about it, I finally found a safe place to rest today, go to bed quickly."

Then Tao Qiniang hugged Tao Qiqi and Fang Yu to sleep.

There was no one in the next room, and Mrs. Jiang, who was supposed to be sleeping there, was still sitting in the yard looking at the door of her son's room.

Firstly, he was worried, and secondly, he wanted to see his son one last time when he went out tomorrow morning.

Although Nangong Ye had already lied down at this time, his eyes were still open, staring at the ceiling and thinking about what Tao Qiqi had just said.

While struggling, Chang Wu and Chang Ning just came back from the outside, looked at the wife in the courtyard, and then knocked on Jiang Ye's door.

"Young master, are you asleep?"

Jiang Ye in the room responded, "I'm not asleep, come in."

Then Chang Wu pushed the door open and closed the door. Chang Wu did not report directly but reminded him softly: "Master, the lady is still in the yard."

Jiang Ye replied slowly: "I know. How are things on your side handled?"

Chang Ning: "Young Master, after running around, only the county magistrate of Fengchuan showed up. Although he agreed to lend us troops in the end, there were no more than a hundred people who could be borrowed."

(Note: According to Dayong's laws, the number of troops stationed in local counties generally only ranges from 300 to 500. This is determined based on the local population. If a major event occurs and more troops are needed, they need to be transferred to superiors. Soldier.)
"More than a hundred people, including our own, are only about [-]. It's really an egg hitting a stone."

"Actually, at this time, everyone is very smart, and they don't want to get involved in this turmoil. No matter who you help, you will offend others in the end. If you don't help, no one will be offended."

Having said this, Chang Wu boldly continued:
"Actually, there is no need for you to get yourself involved. Du'an is a necessary place to travel from south to north. Judging from what happened last time in Du'an City, it doesn't really matter whether you go to stop it now.

And the young master has always disliked fighting.Although I feel sorry for the common people this time and my heart is good, if the young master appears there, he will have made two enemies for himself at once.The loss outweighs the gain. "

After hearing Chang Wu's words, Jiang Ye said slowly: "Okay, I understand, you go back to your room to rest first."

"Then young master..." Chang Wu wanted to ask if he wanted to go back to Du'an tomorrow, but before he could finish his words, Chang Ning dragged him out of the room.

As soon as he left the room, Chang Wu couldn't help complaining: "Why did you pull me? It was a good time just now. Didn't you see that the young master was not angry because of my words?"

Chang Ning: "I'm not angry now, but if you keep talking and the young master gets really angry, then what you just said will be in vain. Maybe the young master can think about it now."

Mrs. Jiang, who was still in the courtyard, looked at Chang Wu and Chang Ning who came out and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"

Chang Ning replied: "It's okay. Master asked us to go back to the house and sleep early. Madam, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Oh, oh, I, I'm getting ready to go to bed." Mrs. Jiang said, worried that Chang Wu and Chang Ning would see her worry, and then walked to her room.

Just as she was about to open the door and go in, Jiang Ye's voice sounded from behind her: "Mother!"

Mrs. Jiang heard her son's voice, turned around and watched him walking towards her, then said nervously, "A Ye, why are you up? Do you want to..."

"Mother, after thinking about it, I still decided not to go back!! My son took his mother to find his uncle, and then we will go to our place together as a family, and spend the rest of our lives in peace, what does mother think?"

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Jiang was very happy in her heart, but she understood his son's heart, so she still tried to ask: "But what do you want to do!"

"Mr. Tao just said something that woke up the child. The child has figured it out. It's better not to ignore things that you can't control!!"

After listening to her son's words, Mrs. Jiang was sobbing.

And Tao Qiqi, who just came out of the space to meditate, happened to hear the conversation between their mother and son. Hearing what Nangong Ye said, Tao Qiqi couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, turned around, closed her eyes, and fell asleep .

It's such a good bed, but it's a pity that I can only sleep for one night today. Tomorrow will be a brand new escape day.

******
Early the next morning, it was just dawn, and Fang Yu was getting up to cook, but Tao Qiqi said: "Xiaoyu, pack up, we should continue to escape today."

Fang Yu looked confused: "Ah?? Didn't you say you want to stay with Mrs. Jiang here?"

"No need. Mr. Jiang shouldn't have to go out. Let's continue our escape life."

Hearing this, Fang Yu felt a bit disappointed: "I thought I could rest here."

Tao Qiniang on the side smiled and comforted: "Silly girl, sooner or later we will continue on our way. It would be better to arrive at the place earlier and find a suitable place to settle down earlier."

Fang Yu thought about it, felt that this was indeed the case, nodded, and then helped Tao Qiniang to pack everyone's luggage.

As soon as Tao Qiqi went out, she saw Mrs. Jiang walking towards her with a happy face, "Mr. Tao, last night A Ye decided not to travel far. We will set off and continue southward after A Ye's injury is better. Tao Qiqi said Master, thank you, if it weren’t for you…”

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.

Seeing this, Tao Qiqi hurriedly smiled and said, "Isn't that great? Being a family together is the most important thing."

After the words fell, Chang Wu came over: "Master Tao, our son invites you to go over."

Tao Qiqi: "Why is he looking for me?"

"I don't know."

"Okay, I'll go over there then." Tao Qiqi said and walked towards Jiang Ye's room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the familiar box on the table again.

Before Tao Qiqi asked Jiang Ye why she was looking for her, Jiang Ye saw Tao Qiqi coming in and pushed the box towards her, and said, "This is for you."

"What do you mean?" Tao Qiqi asked doubtfully.

"This is what I promised you earlier."

"But aren't you leaving now?"

"Yes, I won't leave, but I am the one who broke the contract first, so these should be considered as compensation for you."

"This was originally my reward after I got things done. Now that you've paid me as liquidated damages, then I got 2000 taels of silver for nothing if I didn't do anything. Isn't this a blood loss for you?"

"This is from your point of view, but from my point of view, I don't think so. If it weren't for your words, maybe I would have taken everyone out of here. Whether this departure can come back is another matter .So, this can be considered a thank you to you.”

"What you said, I can't even find an excuse to refuse. Although it is said that our business failed because you broke the contract first, I am not at a loss. Not only did my family eat a solid meal from you last night I also had a solid sleep here.

As for what you said just now, fine, I accept your thanks, these are almost the same, and my word is worth a lot of money. "Tao Qiqi said as she took out two ingots of silver (200 taels) from the box, and pushed the rest back to Jiang Ye.

Seeing that Tao Qiqi only received 200 taels, Jiang Ye became more curious about Tao Qiqi.

He gave her the money willingly and explained the reason, so she could accept it all as she should.

Unexpectedly, she only wanted 500 taels in the end.

"Since Mr. Tao has said so, then I will follow you. But I don't know if Mr. Tao is interested in going south with us."
