"It's not that we don't want to wait for you. Just think about it, how can you push the cart faster than us driving the cart? If we stop, we will probably be killed by the bandits." The elder said seriously.

"When it comes to the safety of our families, I don't think anyone is willing to stop and wait for you." The second elder also emphasized.

"Yes, everyone should put themselves in their shoes. If they really encounter danger, wouldn't everyone's first reaction be to run away quickly?" The three clan elders also said.

"I'd like to say a few words. The elders just talked about safety. Let me emphasize again, given the speed we travel every day, do you think you can keep up when the weather gets cold?"

"Other people's heavy things are on horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, and mule carts. The elderly, women, and children are also on the carts. Only the strong laborers push the light carts and follow the team. They can easily keep up with the speed of the team."

"No matter how cold the weather is, it's warmer to stay in a carriage than to walk in the open air. As long as we don't get cold, we won't get sick easily."

"But if the weather is cold, and the whole family follows the cart, the elderly and children are most likely to get sick. Secondly, when the weather is cold, if the clothes are not warm enough, their hands and feet will be frozen stiff, and they will gradually fall behind."

"By that time, every family's car will be full, and there will be no extra space to help you take care of the children and the elderly. By that time, if you regret not changing your car, you will have no place to cry." The village chief said seriously.

After the village chief finished speaking, the scene was quiet for several minutes. After a while, everyone looked towards the poorer families in the village.

"Okay, I'll ask you again, do you families want to change your cars? There will be no such store after this village. If you want the village to pay for half of the money next time, it will be impossible because the village has no money left." The village chief said straightforwardly.

"Yes, stop wasting time. Please give me an answer. We have said all the good and bad things we can say, and you can tell the good from the bad. Besides, when we settle down, we can still use the new car, and it won't be wasted." The elder of the clan couldn't bear to lose his people on the road, so he persuaded them again.

The representatives of those families were all the heads of their families. Although they could make the final decision, they were also under great pressure.

"Village Chief, I agree to change the car."

"Village Chief, I agree too."

"Village leader, I agree."

"Village Chief, my family also agrees to change the car."

"Village chief, my family also agrees. But I have many children. Can you help us change to a larger carriage when the time comes? In this way, when the weather gets cold, the children and the elderly can stay in the car, and we can also put some more things in the car." A white-haired old man said embarrassedly.

"Uncle, it's no problem to change to a bigger carriage. I guess many families in our village want to change to a bigger carriage." Yun the butcher said with a smile.

When these families expressed their opinions, most people in the village breathed a sigh of relief. We all fled together, so it would be best if we all settled together.

If those families insisted on not changing their cars, they would be left behind when they encountered danger later. This is something no one wants to see. Now, with the help of the village, everyone can buy a car and can travel together. Everyone is very happy.

"Okay, then this matter is settled. We will arrive at the county town tomorrow afternoon, and then we will see how to enter the city and discuss the candidates for entering the city," the village chief announced.

"In addition, everyone should think about what they need to buy for their families. Tell me the number tomorrow and I will do a count. I want to emphasize that the main things should be food and heating supplies. For other things that are not needed often, buy less or no buy." The village chief emphasized loudly.

"Okay, that's it for tonight, everyone go back. Don't forget to report to me tomorrow." The village chief stood up and waved to everyone, asking them to disperse quickly.

The villagers stood up and walked towards their homes.

Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu also stood up and walked back.

"Brother Yun, this is your Yiyi!" Old man Wu gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Brother Wu, you are exaggerating." Yun the Butcher retorted.

"However, many of the opinions raised by my Yi Yi will be accepted by the village chief and clan elders. My Yi Yi is a child who takes care of me like I do." Yun the Butcher said proudly.

"Haha, Brother Yun, you and Yiyi, both father and daughter, are kind-hearted people. Otherwise, you wouldn't think so much about the village." Old Man Wu said sincerely.

"It was not like this in the village I lived in before. The village was full of smoke and chaos every day. It was not fair or peaceful at all."

"I decided to join Yunjia Village because Hunter Xiao Zhang left a good impression on me. Plus, the comfort you guys gave me made me feel very warm."

"Facts have proved that my decision was correct. Yunjia Village is a harmonious and loving big family." Old man Wu said happily.

"Brother Yun, I was worried that if the village gave half of the money to those poor families to replace their cars, other people in the village would not agree."

"Brother Wu, you haven't been here long enough. When you stay longer, you will find that there are too many things like this and the villagers are used to it. Besides, if we have difficulties, the villagers will not just stand by and watch, they will also help solve them." Yun the Butcher said in a low voice.

Yes, I also gradually felt it during today’s meeting. Our village is really united.”

"Brother Yun, if you go into the city tomorrow, please remember to call me. I will go with you to buy a car."

"Don't worry, Brother Wu, I won't forget you."

Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu were talking in private and soon came back. At this time, Li was still playing with the children at Yun's house.

"My dear, it's getting late. Let's take the children back to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow. If the children go to bed late, they won't be able to get up in the morning." Old Man Wu said to Mrs. Li.

"Okay, I'll call the kids and we'll go back now."

"Kids, let's go back to bed. We'll play together tomorrow." Li shouted.

"Here I come, grandma." As soon as the words came out, the children all ran over.

"Sister-in-law, let's take the child back to sleep. We can chat again when we are free tomorrow." After saying this, Li patted Zhang's hand.

"Okay, sister-in-law. When we have time in the future, let the children play together more." Zhang also said with a smile.

Mrs. Li and Old Man Wu took their grandchildren back to sleep.

Butcher Yun and Zhang also packed up their sleeping things, and then asked the children to lie down and sleep, and not to chat secretly.
