“When they first came, some of them weren’t honest. They stole and robbed, but most were individual cases.

“After they were caught, the soldiers sent them directly to the mill, and the rest of the refugees became well-behaved.

“Besides that, we’re still selling grass noodles here, and there’s still some water in the town wells. Overall, the town is quite stable.”

“That’s great. Don’t leak your wealth; you guys should keep a low profile.”

“Don’t worry, boss, we’ll keep a low profile.”

Zhou Ying gave them a few more words of advice and checked on Qiu Yu’s cooking.

After she was done, she left the restaurant and walked around the streets.

She found that besides a grocery store and Gu Chengrui’s clinic, only one official grain store was open with guarded soldiers.

She entered the grocery store and found the items were limited. Other than soy sauce, vinegar, salt, baking powder, and alum, there was nothing else food-related.

After walking around, she only bought some thick thread to make shoes and went to the clinic.

When the sun was about to set, the couple and Gu Chengxi returned to the village.

As soon as they entered the village, they were surrounded by a group of people who said, “Doctor Gu, I heard that you bought all the sweet potatoes that the Gu family had just harvested. Is that true?”

“Yes, but it’s not really me who bought it, as I was just helping Doctor Luo and his workers at the clinic make the purchase. It’s not even enough for all of them.” At this point, Gu Chengrui asked, “You guys are…”

“We wanted to buy some too. We didn’t expect…”

“Yeah. There’s a shortage of food everywhere now. It’s really a worry.”

“Indeed, it’s not easy for anyone to survive this year, so it’s better to protect yourself.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he pulled on the reins and continued, “You guys go ahead, as we’ll be going back now.”

When the crowd heard this, they immediately retreated. After muttering a few words of shame, they dispersed.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather gradually turned cold. The village men began climbing the mountain to chop firewood, and at the same time, they were looking for good wood to supply the workshop. While the men were busy in the mountains, the women sat under the sun and made clothes or shoes.

Of course, when they were bored, it was common for them to quarrel as they chatted. Therefore, the small group members changed daily, which was more lively than a TV drama series.

As for Zhou Ying, she got bored at home, so she also joined in and took it as a form of entertainment.

She usually only listened and never talked. She never took the initiative to ask about other people’s family matters, let alone talk about her family’s problems, so her days were relatively uneventful.

One day, while everyone was chatting happily, two people suddenly ran down from the mountain and shouted, “This is bad! They’re fighting! Everyone, come and help.”

“Jiaxing, what are you shouting about? What do you mean that they’re fighting? Who’s fighting who?” Mrs. Bai immediately stood up and asked.

“That’s right. Don’t panic and tell us the problem clearly. What’s going on?” Sixth Aunt Gu inquired.

“Refugees! A lot of refugees suddenly appeared on the mountain. They said they came from the south.”

“Didn’t they say there was an epidemic in the south some time ago? We are not allowing them to enter our village because they do not appear to be healthy.

“Who would’ve expected that they would start fighting us?” Jiaxing gasped for breath and explained intermittently.

“What! That’s crossing the line! We can’t let them enter the village! Hurry up and inform the village chief and the constable.” Mrs. Bai immediately ordered.

“Yes, go back home and call all the strong men to the foot of the mountain; we need to stop them from entering the village.” Sixth Aunt Gu agreed.

As soon as Zhou Ying heard this, she immediately stood up and ran home. First, she went to inform Sister Tian next door, and then she rushed to town with Er Zhuang..
