Chapter 160 Convinced
Qiao Dalin and the others also woke up and came over from their rooms, surrounding Qiao Suluo and Bai Qianluo with anxious and worried expressions in their eyes.
Qiao Sulu shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the torrential rain tonight seems unusual."
Qiao Feishuang and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, feeling that it was good that their daughter (younger sister) was alright.
They were really worried.
But at the same time, they understood that their sister had made the trip in the middle of the night because she was worried about them, and they felt both warm and bittersweet.
Qiao Feishuang took Qiao Suluo's hand and patted it, saying, "Don't worry, this kind of rain is normal. It will stop raining tomorrow."
“Our cat tribe is relatively poor, and the village we live in is located in a low-lying area, but fortunately there is a river next to us and mountains behind us, so it is convenient to do anything.”
"The rain got heavier, and before the flood, we rushed up the mountain. Just like last time, we'll be fine."
Qiao Feishuang and the others were used to it.
“In the past, we would have worried that the rain would destroy the rice we planted, but now that you have taught the family how to make pastries, we have saved up some money, enough for the family to eat and live on, and we can even save some money.”
"Having a skill gives me peace of mind."
"What's more, the egg yolk pastries we've been making lately have been incredibly popular. Some wealthy families in the prefectural city have even sent servants to buy them. There are so many people buying them every day that we can't keep up with the demand. That's why we bought a lot more duck eggs and pickled some more..."
Everyone smiled broadly when these things were mentioned.
Now they feel their lives are fulfilling, especially when they see the money they earn every day, they feel very secure and have a bright future.
The family's living conditions are improving, all thanks to Qiao Suluo. They are most grateful to Qiao Suluo.
Qiao Suluo went to the stall early in the morning to sell wontons and also heard customers talking about egg yolk pastries.
Some merchants who came and went heard that they would go to Nanfenglou specifically to buy egg yolk pastries, and some even placed orders.
The beastmen who have tried the egg yolk pastry all rave about this flavor.
Most importantly, this flavor of pastry is not sold anywhere else.
Nobody knew how to do it.
There are currently no salted duck eggs or preserved eggs on the market.
That's why her wonton stall is so popular.
Qiao Suluo said with a solemn expression, "Father, Mother, brothers, I think this rain will continue for several days without stopping, and there will be dangers on the mountain. Landslides, mudslides, and fallen trees could all take our lives."
Qiao Feishuang and the others' expressions changed upon hearing Qiao Suluo's words.
The village elders have recounted similar incidents from decades ago when a sudden rainstorm struck.
Qiao Suluo's face turned pale as she said, "We can't hide in the mountains, where can we hide?"
This is their home, and for a moment everyone felt a little lost.
They didn't even know where to go.
Qiao Suluo took a sip of water and said, "Father, Mother, brothers, I'm thinking of moving to the North. This kind of thing won't happen there, and we can find a shop and do business peacefully."
"And I heard that shops and houses are cheap there."
Upon hearing that they were going north, everyone became even more panicked.
Qiao Erlin said in a low voice, "Sister, we know nothing about the North. How can we go there? We don't even know the way."
"It is said that there are many wild beasts in the mountains and forests over there."
"Moreover, the winters are exceptionally cold, and people can freeze to death."
Although they are cat-beastmen with fur, they are not resistant to the cold.
Besides, they were born and raised in the South and are used to the Southern lifestyle. Going to the North would instinctively make them feel uneasy. Qiao Sanlin said, "Since you say so, sister, you must have a way. I trust you. If you say we're going to the North, then we'll go."
Qiao Sanlin used to distrust Qiao Suluo the most, but now, after experiencing some things, he trusts Qiao Suluo the most.
He felt that his sister's words were not unfounded; since she had made the decision, it must be for their own good.
Although he felt somewhat uneasy, as he knew nothing about the north, he trusted his sister's decision even more.
Qiao Dalin thought for a moment and said, "I think Third Brother is right. Land is scarce in our area. The village where our cat tribe is located is located in a very low-lying area. It gets flooded when it rains heavily, and there is nowhere to move. It greatly affects farming and life."
"It would be better to go to the north. It is said that the north has vast lands and large areas of wasteland. The Great Jing Dynasty used to have a policy to encourage people to move to the north, with some preferential policies. For the first three years of reclamation there, no taxes are required."
"If we move there sooner, the local officials should be able to find a better place for our tribe."
Qiu Bin didn't say much, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Then it's decided. We'll listen to Su Luo and move there as soon as possible to settle down and live a stable life."
"Now that everyone has the skill of making pastries, they can make a living no matter where they go."
"If you work hard and cultivate more wasteland over there, you'll have more land than here."
"It's better to be remote and desolate than to have people worry and be afraid when it rains."
Although Qiao Feishuang was the head of the family, she was used to letting Qiu Bin make decisions on important matters.
Because she knew that Qiu Bin's decision wouldn't be wrong.
Qiao Feishuang said, "Since you've decided to move, it's better to leave sooner rather than later, before the rain gets heavier and makes it harder to walk."
Qiao Suluo had prepared many excuses, but they were no longer needed. She hadn't expected her parents and brothers to trust her so much.
"Father and Mother, you must take everyone from the village with you, but make it clear that this is voluntary. On the way and once you've settled in the north, no matter what happens, you cannot blame anyone."
"I can't even be sure whether it will keep raining or whether there will be floods; this is just my personal guess."
Qiao Feishuang nodded and said, "Don't worry, you know what the people in our village are like."
"Ever since you saved everyone last time, they not only trust you but are also grateful to you."
"I will make things clear."
Qiao Feishuang is the tribal chief; she cannot simply abandon everyone and leave.
If she weren't the leader, she could move with her family, but as the leader, she has a responsibility to do certain things.
Qiao Suluo nodded. "Father and Mother, please make preparations as soon as possible. We will set off as soon as possible tomorrow morning."
"I'll go back and inform the others first."
Bai Qianluo accompanied Qiao Suluo back to the county first, and then Qiao Suluo knocked on the door of Young Master Gu's residence.
When Dongqing opened the door and saw Qiao Suluo, she exclaimed in surprise.
"Miss Qiao...?"
"Dongqing, are your young master and Yue Hanzheng at home?"
"Yes, Miss Qiao, please come in first. I'll go and talk to our young master and Young Master Yue."
Qiao Suluo and Bai Qianluo entered the main hall. A short while later, Yue Hanzheng walked in. He seemed to be enveloped in a cool and aloof aura, exuding a noble and upright temperament, like the bright moon in the mountains and the gentle breeze on the river.
When Yue Hanzheng saw Qiao Suluo, the worry in his eyes eased with relief.
Since his body and internal energy have recovered, his hearing has become excellent, and he got up and came over as soon as he heard a sound.
I updated three chapters today, just a little extra update to make up for it.
