Zhu Weishi looked at the children with heartache. The poor farmland at home had not produced much food for the past few years. If it was still a disaster year next year, there would probably be no harvest.
She didn't mind, but her heart ached for the children who couldn't eat their fill. If they were robbed again, there might be some trouble.
"Trees die, people live. It's good to go out and adventure. We have the ability, so we're not afraid to go out and adventure.”
Zhu Chuanwu raised both hands in agreement.
Zhu Chuanwen was a little hesitant. This child's personality was steady, but he was a little timid. He thought for a moment and said,
"Mother, the road to the east of the country is not easy to walk. Moreover, no one has bought our house and land these days.”
"If it's empty, then so be it. I won't sell it. No matter what, this is our home. When we come back in the future, we'll have a place to stay.”
Zhu Weishi saw the hesitation in Chuanwen's heart. She glared at him and continued,"
"Child, you are still hesitating. Are you really Zhu Kaishan's child? We, the Zhu family, can't be afraid even if the sky falls!”
Zhu Chuanwen didn't dare to resist Zhu Weishi. He glanced at Ye Xu and said,""Brother, what do you think?"
"We have to go."
Ye Xu pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice,"
"Mother is right. The current Qi Lu Land cannot support people. Moreover, Father is still waiting for us in the east of the country.”
"I will listen to my master."
Xian 'er also expressed her opinion at this time. She naturally followed Ye Xu.
"I'm just afraid that the in-laws will have objections. You've just married and you have to suffer with us. Chuanwen is right. The road to the east of the country is not easy.”
Zhu Weishi looked at Xian-er with a worried expression. She couldn't bear to see her suffer with her.
"Mother, I'm not afraid. I'm married, and I'm our family's person in life and our ghost in death. I can't be separated from you.”
"Good, good wife."
Zhu Weishi held Xian-er's hand and smiled in relief.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. Even if this is a dead end, I can still find a way out.”
Ye Xu's voice was loud and clear. Zhu Weishi looked at Ye Xu as if he was looking at the young Zhu Kaishan.
The family seemed to have a backbone.
"Master, I heard that the east of the country is a treasure land. Ginseng, mink, fur, and black grass are everywhere. There's also the saying that the roe deer is beaten with a stick and the pheasant flies into the rice cooker.”
Xian 'er looked at Ye Xu and asked.
In front of outsiders, she was too embarrassed to call Ye Xu husband.
"It might have been like this in the past, but it shouldn't be so exaggerated now. However, it's definitely much better than in the pass. The land there is good. It's black and dark. You can even see oil when you grab it. I heard that if you bury a silver dollar in the ground, a big ingot will grow in a few days.”
Hearing Ye Xu's words, the whole family laughed out loud.
Everyone knew that Ye Xu was joking, but it was true that the soil in the east of the country was fertile. They could have a bumper harvest every year, and their lives were much better than here.
"Then it's settled. Let's pack up and set off early in the morning!”
Zhu Weishi finally made the decision.
There was no point for the others, so the plan to break through the east of the country was decided.
"When we get to the east of the country, An will go hunting with Father. An will also go pick up a few clubs.”
Zhu Chuanwu was filled with joy and excitement.
The wooden club he was talking about was not a curse. In the east of the country, the wooden club was the wild ginseng in the deep mountains and forests. To beat roe deers with a wooden club meant that there were so many ginseng in the deep mountains of the east of the country that one could pick up to beat roe deers.
At this time, wild ginseng was very valuable. Seven taels was ginseng, and eight taels was treasure. An old ginseng of seven taels could be sold for thousands of silver dollars in this day and age!
"I heard from Chunshan that the best way to enter the east of the country is by water. It's much faster by water. If we go by land, we'll have to walk for at least half a year. We won't be able to fight for another year. Without food, we'll have to beg all the way to the east of the country.”
Zhu Weishi heaved a sigh of relief, her tone still a little worried.
Ye Xu patted Zhu Weishi's back and said,""Then let's take the waterway."
"Your uncle said that if we take the water route, the Yellow River Mouth is the closest. We can take a windboat out to sea and go all the way to Daliankou. Then, we can take a train to Yuanbao Town at the mouth of the three rivers.”
"However, it's chaotic these days. The Yellow River is a small port, so I'm afraid there aren't any boats. We have to go to Longkou.”
"It's not a big deal if we take a detour. We'll go to the dragon's mouth. Mother, let's pack up and make more rations.”
Ye Xu said. Zhu Weishi nodded and said,
"You don't have to work with them. Take Xian 'er back to her parents' house and bring some of the mountain products that your adoptive father brought back. Tell them that we're leaving.”
"Hey."
Ye Xu agreed and the family got busy.
The three Chuan Wen brothers packed up their things, Zhu Weishi started to make pancakes, and Ye Xu brought a big bag of mountain products and brought Xian 'er to Tan Manor.
Tan Yongqing was quite happy to have accepted the mountain products. When he learned that Ye Xu was going to take Xianer to the east to find Zhu Kaishan, although he was not happy, his daughter was already married off, so he couldn't say anything.
He only repeatedly reminded Ye Xu to take good care of Xian 'er.
