I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

185 Implication

Lu Ze and Lin Suisui returned to their tent and began to pack up so that they could set off tomorrow morning.

At their current speed, they would reach their destination in less than four to five days. They would reach the most important city in the north, Cloud Mountain City.

The refugees who came this time would be arranged to live in various villages outside Cloud Mountain City. Most importantly, these new refugees who had just arrived in the north were exempted from farm taxes for the first year.

In addition, they would be given some money and food as settling-in fees. If they planned it well, their future life actually wouldn’t be too difficult.

However, this was really nothing to Mrs. Luo’s family and the other refugees who had previously chosen to join the army and participate in the camp’s defense.

!!

There was a difference in identity.

Because the Fang family’s second son had taken the initiative to join the army, Mrs. Luo’s family naturally became a military household.

This way, not only would the farmland tax be reduced by 30%, but the land they would receive would also be much more than that of ordinary families.

Of course, what was even more enviable was the village they would be arranged to live in in the future was a prosperous place in the north! It wasn’t far from Cloud Mountain City, and the land was fertile. The villagers were kind. Compared to those remote places, such a placement was like a dream come true for Mrs. Luo and the others!

As soon as this arrangement was made, it aroused the attention of most people in the refugee camp.

Just as Lin Suisui and the others had learned previously, most of the refugees who chose to come to the north to reclaim land were from families that had been farming for generations.

To them, being able to get a piece of fertile land was a matter that concerned their family’s future.

Seeing that Mrs. Luo and her family could obtain such benefits, the others, who had been watching from the sidelines previously, felt regretful that they had mocked them for choosing to join the army despite the danger!

At this moment, they were envious and eager to replace Mrs. Luo and the others. They tried to use past favors to curry favor with them.

These people were not fools. They definitely couldn’t rely on other people to help them put in a good word. After all, most of them had joined the army because of the Fang family.

Therefore, in the end, these people went to look for Mrs. Luo.

The Fang family’s second son was already a soldier! The last 40-odd soldiers left in the refugee camp were now under his command!

Mrs. Luo’s family were the only ones who could persuade Gu Erlang.

After all, everyone knew about the relationship between these two families!

Gu Erlang was really impressive. Who would have thought that an ordinary hunter would actually catch Mr. Pei’s eye? Not only had he been entrusted with heavy responsibilities, but he had also become the most trusted assistant of the general who stabilized the north!

Now, it was said that the defense of the entire refugee camp had been handed over to him. Even the high and mighty generals had to lower their heads and cup their hands in greeting when they saw him.

How impressive!

It was said that he would be living in Cloud Mountain City permanently in the future. He didn’t have to settle down to farm like the other refugees…

In that case, wouldn’t it be easy for him to help them?!

These people planned it well. Since Gu Erlang treated Mrs. Luo’s family so well, it would definitely be useful if Mrs. Luo put in a good word for them!

Therefore, no matter what their relationship with Mrs. Luo was previously, they had to establish ties with her. Mrs. Luo suddenly realized that the people who had been approaching her these past few days were like flies that encountered rotten meat in the summer!

However, although Mrs. Luo had always been easygoing, she wasn’t a fool.

As soon as these people came over and spoke, she understood the reason.

Therefore, when they talked about everyday matters, she chatted and joked with them. However, when it came to things that required her help, she would say that she didn’t know anything.

“Aunt, you know how difficult our family’s situation is. We don’t have much money to begin with. If we’re really arranged to go to that barren land, how will our family survive?!”

“That’s right, Sister. We used to live in the neighboring village and we saw each other often! My mother used to be friends with your mother!

If not for the fact that we got married later on, our families might have become relatives by now!”

“It’s difficult to survive alone. Your husband is very promising! But you have to think about it. Now that we’re in the north together, we have to rely on each other and take care of each other!”

A group of women surrounded Mrs. Luo and refused to let go of her as they clamored. However, even so, she knew that this wasn’t the time to be a samaritan!

Therefore, even though she was pestered, she still said the same thing that she had said to countless people over the past two days. “It’s not that I don’t want to help, but what can an old woman like me do?!

If you really want help, you should ask those military officials!

Not to mention Erlang, even if he’s a soldier, it’s because those dozens of children praised him! But that doesn’t mean he has much decision-making power!”

“Aren’t you on good terms with Gu Erlang?! Why don’t you help us beg him?!”

Hearing Mrs. Luo’s words, someone at the side finally couldn’t sit still anymore. She begged Mrs. Luo, “Mrs. Luo, we were forced into a corner. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have dared to beg you!

Those boys in my family are living off us now. If we don’t have a way to make a livelihood, how are we going to survive in the future?!”

With someone taking the lead, there was another round of clamoring and wailing. If someone who didn’t know better passed by, they would think that there was a funeral!

Mrs. Luo was annoyed. While the surrounding people were crying miserably, she couldn’t care less about what the surrounding people were thinking. She gave Fang Liu, who was standing at the side, a look. Then, she closed her eyes and fell back…
