Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 969
In the evening of that day, Wei Yuande, Zhou and his party were sent to Beibu City and went directly to the Yamen for handover.

After the handover, the mission of escorting them all the way was completed, and the prefect Duan arranged for them to have food and accommodation.

And Wei Yuande, Zhou Shi and others were also called out of the carriage, unshackled and escorted by local officials to the resettlement site.

Ten miles outside the city, there is an abandoned farm and several dilapidated houses in the ice and snow. That is where Wei Yuande and others are staying.

"Go in." The officer glared at the few people with a cold face, "You must report to the Yamen where you are going, otherwise you will be treated as a runaway, do you hear me?"

"I heard it." Everyone responded honestly.

The official explained again, "The rice, flour, and firewood inside are enough for a month. If we use it up in advance and die of starvation and freezing, no one will care." After saying this, the few people left without leaving anyone to look after them.

In fact, there was no need to leave anyone under supervision. In such a cold place, they couldn't escape far even if they wanted to, and they would have to freeze to death outside.

Indeed, the big guy was so cold that he couldn't speak. He followed Wei Yuande and Zhou into the farm, shivering.

Several houses were not far away from each other. Wei Yuande and Zhou chose the best one and walked in with the help of Zhou Lenghui and other Miss Zhou Mansion.

"Is this a place for people to live?" Zhou asked angrily.

The door fell down as soon as it was pushed, the dilapidated windows, and the cold wind whizzed in.

The house was full of cobwebs and dust. No beggar in the capital would live in such a place.

"It's okay, it's okay to pack up and move in." Zhou Lenghui often heard Zhou brainwashing her along the way, saying that one day she would go back to the capital to settle accounts with the Night King and the Night Queen. She actually had much more fighting spirit than Wei Yuande.

He found a broken stool, tore off a piece of his clothes and wiped it off, let Wei Yuande and Zhou Shi sit on it, and then looked at the two older brothers who were standing there in a daze.

"Big brother and second brother, go get some firewood to make a fire. It's so cold that it's freezing to death."

"Ask us to carry firewood? You can't do that." Zhou Mingzhong stared with dissatisfaction. He looked at the man with a dirty face but his posture remained the same.

As he spoke, he turned and went out, and quickly dragged two young women in with his left hand and right hand, threw them at the feet of Wei Yuande and Zhou Shi, and kicked them hard several times.

He said angrily, "From today on, you are our slaves, do you hear me?"

These two women were the concubines brought into the prime minister's house by Zhou Qian, and the Zhou family hated them deeply.

The two concubines were not willing to be driven around, and argued with red eyes: "Your crimes are more serious than ours, why should you order us?'
Before she finished speaking, Zhou Mingcheng stepped forward and slapped her several times, and then took their one-year-old son in and threw him on the ground. "Why? Just because we have kung fu and our fists are stronger than yours! If you dare not obey~~ humph"

As Zhou Mingcheng spoke, he looked at the crying boy and took a sip of saliva.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten meat. I’d rather mess up these two wild bastards!”

When the two concubines heard this, they were so frightened that they quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, willing to serve them as slaves.

Zhou Qian frantically carried more than 20 aunts into the mansion, and these more than 20 women became servants of Wei Yuande, Zhou and others.

They originally had a variety of identities, and they were also good at things like setting fires and cooking.

Within a few days, driven by the whips of Zhou Mingzhong and Zhou Mingcheng, the house they lived in was repaired to perfection, so that they no longer had to suffer from the cold wind.

There is no meat to eat, so they can only fill their stomachs and starve to death.

This made Wei Yuande complain every day. He sat by the smoky fire pit and pointed at the dilapidated house and said to Mr. Zhou:
"Mom, look at me. You tell me every day not to forget to take revenge. I'm just trying to get revenge like this. What's the difference between us and beggars? It's just an extra mouthful of food."

"It's not that easy to turn over the salted fish. The first step is to win over Prefect Duan~" Mrs. Zhou said and looked at Zhou Lenghui, "Today Mingzhong inquired and said that tomorrow is Prefect Duan's birthday, so he will go there then." wish him birthday
Wei Yuande twitched his lips and interrupted, "Congratulations on your birthday? Can he let us in with our appearance?"

"I didn't tell you, I told A Hui." Zhou glanced at Wei Yuande, smiled at Zhou Lenghui and said meaningfully, "Don't you still have some money in your hand? Go to the city tomorrow to buy some nice clothes and dress up. After a while, Taishou Duan will definitely not turn you away."

"This~~aunt, this prefect Duan is already 50 years old~~" Zhou Lenghui said with a face on her arm.

She heard from her brother that Duan Taishou was nothing but lustful, and her aunt might want to use her to win over Duan Taishou, so she had to be mentally prepared.

But Zhou Lenghui was really unprepared, and she really couldn't do it to serve the 50-year-old man.

"Look at you? Don't you want to go back to the capital?" Zhou asked, staring at her.

"Of course I do." Zhou Lenghui said anxiously. She wanted to go back more than anyone else.

"Then listen to my aunt. Tomorrow my aunt will accompany you."
