There were many famine escapees, yet few families managed to thrive as well as the Gu Family's tofu stall. Many who came to escape famine sold their children or even begged to survive.
At this moment, the clerks, Clerk Lv and Clerk Zhang of Si Li Square, learned that the land was bought by the Gu Family's tofu stall.
Both were quite surprised, with Clerk Lv commenting, "Those few families indeed have real ability."
Recently, County Captain Jiang has been close with County Magistrate Xu, who kept praising Jiang and assigned many important tasks to him, leaving County Magistrate Zou somewhat out in the cold.
Those few families were under the protection of County Captain Jiang.
After weighing the pros and cons, the two clerks, Lv and Zhang, decided it would be wise to not cause troubles for those families, to avoid getting caught in the crossfire between County Captain Jiang and County Magistrate Zou.
