My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 131 Falling out is faster than turning the page in a book

The rest of the Tugang Village members were surprised that their leader was killed so swiftly and decisively. In their panic, they tried to resist, but the brothers from Longhu Village quickly dragged them to the roadside and dealt with them.

Xin Nian ordered everyone to untie all the girls who were tied up in the carriage.

These women, dressed in tattered clothes, got off the car; there were ten of them in total.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that they were all from nearby villages, and had been knocked unconscious and taken away by Tugangzhai while fleeing famine, and had become separated from their families.

Xin Nian asked Zhao Xun to bring some food stored on the oxcart and distribute it to them.

Most of the women were sensible and grateful; after expressing their deepest thanks, they left with their belongings.

Only one pair of sisters were making a big fuss, and no matter how much we tried to persuade them, they insisted on staying.

The younger sister is more eloquent than the older sister. She immediately resorts to moral blackmail, saying things like, "We are all weak women. If you kick us out now, where are we supposed to go?"
Since you've already done the saving, shouldn't you go all the way and see it through to the end? (And then you go on and on with all this irrelevant stuff.)

Xin Nian, along with several brothers from Longhu Village, returned after clearing the supplies from the oxcart. Seeing the two women still chatting away with Zhao Xun, he became impatient.

She walked over, picked up her noisy younger sister, pulled her back, and she stumbled.

"roll."

The younger sister's face turned bright red, and she wanted to continue arguing, but her older sister pulled her back.

The older sister seemed to be somewhat reasonable, but Xin Nian didn't like what she said.

"Did we make a mistake in saving you?" Xin Nian interrupted the long-faced girl's incessant chatter. "Shouldn't we have kept you in the bandit's den?"

"Stop arguing and get going." She didn't have time to waste arguing with these boring people on the street.

It's not like I'm just bored and have nothing better to do.

"You can't do this! We're all women, you should know how difficult it is for women on the road to escape famine!" The younger sister, her face flushed, tried to step forward, but was held back tightly by her older sister.

"You saved us but then did nothing. How is that any different from murder?"

The older sister, being slightly more astute, noticed Xin Nian's cold glare and quickly covered her younger sister's mouth, apologizing repeatedly, "Miss, I'm so sorry, so sorry. My sister doesn't know how to speak properly; she didn't mean to complain about you."

"However, we sisters are all weak women, and now we have been separated from our families. We would like to ask you to help us and take us with you. We will leave as soon as we find our families."

Zhao Xun waved his hand, "You guys should hurry up and leave. We still have to wait for someone here. There's fog coming from the south of Wan'an Prefecture. You'll regret it if you don't leave now."

Xin Nian ignored the two men and went about taking stock of the supplies on the oxcart, intending to give two of the horse-drawn carts to Zhao Xun.

The latter quickly shook his head, "No need, no need. Those three horses are enough for us. Leave the carriage for the elderly, weak, women and children."

Xin Nian thought it was a good idea, so she tossed the oxcart rope to Zhao Xun, saying, "Then you two can keep these two oxcarts and their contents. We'll distribute them to them in a couple of days."

Zhao Xun nodded, then turned around and saw the two sisters still standing there. She couldn't help but sigh, "Hurry up and go, didn't we give you everything?"

“We just saved you, there’s no reason for us to be responsible for your future.”

The older sister sobbed softly, "Could you please give us a carriage to get around? We are two weak women, and without a carriage, it will take us forever to leave this place."

“Yes, yes.” The younger sister pointed to one of the carriages with floral curtains, “the smallest one, I guess.”

Zhao Xun looked at the two women in disbelief; even she had to admire how thick-skinned they were.

What business is it of the sisters of the carriage they stole from the bandits? They can't just ask for the carriage.

And they made it sound like they were the ones who suffered a loss, asking for a small carriage but not daring to ask for a larger one.

"Where are you two from?" Zhao Xun looked them up and down.

Her clothes were worn out, and she looked like a village girl, not a rich and noble lady from a wealthy family.

Among the many ladies and young women from high-ranking officials and noble families in the capital, none were as pampered as they were. "Me? I'm from Zhang Village, so what?"

Zhao Xun raised an eyebrow. "Miss Zhang, our group has too many people, so we definitely can't give you this carriage. Why don't you think of another way?"

"Then, let's go together, can we hitch a ride?"

"I already said there are too many people, and there aren't enough people in our own group to fit in the car. You still want to hitch a ride?" Zhao Hu raised his voice in a rough tone, startling the two men into taking a step back.

"Why are you being so fierce? We can't do anything about it." The two choked up again as they spoke.

"How are we two weak women supposed to live in the dark?"

"If you can't live, then die." Xin Nian walked over, snatched the cloth bags from the two men's hands, and threw them onto the oxcart. "I've changed my mind. I don't want to save you two anymore. Get lost."

The cloth bag contained the daily necessities and some rice and flour that had just been distributed to them.

When the two girls saw their things being taken, they screamed and rushed forward, shouting, "How could you steal someone's things?"

"Don't talk nonsense to me." Xin Nian almost poked the other person's forehead with one finger. "I don't have much patience. If you don't leave now, none of you are leaving."

The older and younger sisters burst into tears. How could they turn on each other so suddenly?

Xin Wenyuan rode his horse over and happened to see this scene.

He dismounted, and two carriages followed closely behind. The drivers, Mu Liang and Mu Zhong, tightened their reins.

"What's wrong, daughter?" Xin Wenyuan rushed to his daughter's side. "Where did this carriage and oxcart come from? Hey, this black carriage is spacious enough to seat eight or nine people."

Old Xin patted the carriage frame.

"Let the wives from the first, second, and third wives get on this carriage. Does Xin Laosan know how to drive? Let him drive."

Xin Wenyuan nodded repeatedly, "Hey, bring Mianmian's mother along too, this car is big enough."

As soon as the father and daughter finished speaking, Aunt Nie's expression relaxed a little.

Xin Mengye and Xin Mengxue were so happy they almost cried.

It was so difficult! Their feet were practically sparking from running all the way. If they hadn't been walking every day recently to build up their leg strength, they definitely wouldn't have been able to keep up with the speed of the carriage.

"Sister-in-law!" Xin Wenyuan called out hurriedly.

"Hey, hey." Madam Nie hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"You take the girls into the carriage, let Ruoyu go to her mother's carriage, and everyone else get into this carriage, along with Mianmian's mother."

"I know, I know." Madam Nie happily led her younger brother, sister-in-law, daughter-in-law, and daughters onto the carriage one by one.

Xin Wenyuan then urged, "Xiaorui, Xiaorui, you, you go to the old lady's car."

"No need, sir..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. With your small head and small body, it would be even more troublesome if you got sick on the road. Hurry up and go. There's still a seat on that bus."

Tian Xiaorui bowed gratefully and then got into the car as instructed.

"This carriage is for Physician Cheng and Granny Wang, and we'll take that... Old Man Lao with us."

"This small car can only seat four or five people, so it's for Mrs. Si and her family."

"And what about... Blazing Fire?"

Liu Huo rushed to him, "Sixth Miss."
