124 Chapter 124: Second Brother Came Back Early_1

Some of these families were relatively easy to persuade, while others proved more difficult, but they would all heed Wei Ruo's advice to some degree.

They recognized that it was Wei Ruo who had advocated for the division of the land, which allowed them to cultivate new land and receive relief grains from the government office every day, giving them hope for survival.

Hence, Wei Ruo's words held substantial influence over them.

An hour later, the majority of the peasants had been persuaded to leave, leaving only the most remote family.

Seeing the rainfall intensify, Wei Ruo directed the town clerk to proceed ahead with the remaining men:

"Mr. Chen, lead these government officials to escort the people into the city first. I will seek out the last family. We have a carriage so once we manage to bring them along, we can catch up with the carriage."

"No, I cannot just leave Wei Miss behind, as explicitly advised by the superior!" Chen was unwilling to leave Wei Ruo behind.
