The three of them hadn't eaten yet, and after deciding on this, Su Yu and Mrs. Su went downstairs, while Old Man Su was lying on the bed, and when he went out, he could still hear his cough.

Mrs. Su quietly pulled Su Yu's sleeve, Su Yu turned her head to look at her, only to see Mrs. Su said in a low voice: "When you go to the state capital, don't tell your third uncle about your father's illness, when you get there, find a fake doctor, give him a few pennies, let him say some auspicious words, just say that your father's illness is fine, let's don't melt." "It cost five taels just here, if she goes to the state capital, the silver can't be like flowing water, she can't bear it.

Su Yu didn't speak.

Su's wife and children chattered: "Your third aunt's house is there, let's go to the door, if it is usual, we have to bring some things, but it is difficult for us to even live, don't make up the etiquette or anything, according to me, if we encounter the mountain, go inside to dig wild game, spring bamboo shoots and fruits, just bring some." ”

When Su Yu heard this, her heart moved.

She remembered that now at this time, the spring bamboo shoots are all out, digging some to sell, or making snacks, it's always good, last year's winter bamboo shoots were wasted, and she thought about it later, she was a little unwilling, and it took so much effort to make things, a disaster, all gone.

After speaking, the two of them had already gone downstairs, Master Xu had already eaten, but left them with food, Xiaobao saw that the food was cold, so he went to the kitchen to heat it up, for this, Xiaobao also gave a penny, this is his private room.

Mrs. Su saw that the table was empty, and her face was not very good-looking, she turned her head to Su Yu and said, "Erniu, let's go outside and buy a few nests, that thing is cheap, and I am hungry after eating." ”

Xiaobao stood up and said, "Milk, sister, no, your food is hot in the kitchen." After Xiaobao finished speaking, he went to find Xiao Er, and asked Xiao Er to bring the food over, two big bowls, the rice and the vegetables were packed together, and the bottom of the bowl was still hot.

When Mrs. Su saw the food, she was sad: "How much money does this cost, let's not eat, let him take it back." ”

When Xiao Er heard this, his face froze.

Su Yu said: "Serve this bowl and give it to the old man to eat." The remaining two bowls of Xiao Er were placed on the table, Su Yu sat down, wiped them with chopsticks, and then began to eat.

Mrs. Su stood there and didn't move.

Su Yu said: "The silver has been given, and it is ours whether to eat it or not." ”

Oh, good guy, as soon as these words came out, Mrs. Su pounced on the table like a tiger, picked up the big bowl, and devoured it, especially the pork belly, which was so oily that it didn't take long for the bowl to be empty, she rubbed her stomach and sat on the chair, and then she began to complain: "Erniu, this meal cost a lot of money, a few wen, or a dozen?" ”

Su Yu ate slowly, and before she finished eating, she raised her head and said, "The silver Master Xu came out first, and together with the previous loan, it was recorded in the account." ”

Mrs. Su silently calculated in her heart, five taels, plus the money for the meal, they are five people, thirty wen still have to go up, and the money for living in the hotel, alas, more than one hundred.

Su Yu finished eating, pushed the bowl aside, and then said to the few people at the table: "I will go out early tomorrow morning to inquire about the news of the Zhang family, if you don't believe it, let's go directly to the state capital and send grandma to the third uncle." ”

Master Xu asked, "Let's go together, or let Xiaobao and Gao Ping go back to Liuyang County first." ”

Su Yu shook his head: "Let's go together, they won't stay for a long time, just look at the third uncle and go back." Su Yu thought that she had to smelt Mrs. Su on the road, so that Mrs. Su would be afraid of her, so that she could live together in the future.

She has never been afraid of Mrs. Su, she used to be afraid of Su A-Niang's filial piety, so she gave in, but now she doesn't have to do that.

Su Yu glanced at Mrs. Su calmly, and then looked away.

Su's wife, who was settling accounts, only felt a chill on her back, what's the matter, it cooled down? She craned her neck to look out the door, the ground outside was dry, and it wasn't raining.

Mrs. Su thought that she might have thought too much, so she didn't pay attention to it.

Su Yu rented four rooms, Su Lao Zi and Su Lao Man one, Master Xu one, three boys one, she herself one, this matter Su Lao Zi specially asked, and when she heard that Su Yu rented four rooms, she scolded Su Yu in her heart for being a loser, but she didn't dare to say it, and she heard that the outsider Gao Ping lived with Xiao Baotou, so she went to Master Xu, and she wanted Master Xu to pay half of the money.

Master Xu said coolly: "If you are like this, I will mention the profit borrowed by your granddaughter again." ”

These words startled Mrs. Su, and she remembered that the person in front of her was a creditor, a debt collector, why was she stupid to ask this person for money.

Mrs. Su apologized to Master Xu, and then left in a panic.

Master Xu's words naturally scared Mrs. Su, the money all came from Su Yu all the way, Master Xu is not a creditor, Su Yu said this in order to make a living all the way.

In the evening, Mrs. Su boiled medicine for Old Man Su and let Old Man Su drink it. Originally, Su Yu wanted the inn to help boil it, but after Su's wife heard that she had to give money for boiling medicine, she immediately said that she wanted to boil the medicine herself, and the small stove borrowed it from the inn, the water was brought from the well, and the firewood was also from the inn.

Su Yu didn't stop her, Su Yu felt that it was good to find something for Su's wife to do.

This night, the stone slept very sweetly, he felt that Sister Erniu was a reliable one, and the second girl suddenly became taller in Shishi's heart, far surpassing his father.

Stone laughed out loud in his dreams at night.

Early the next morning, Su Yu went to inquire about the whereabouts of the Zhang family, she went directly to the mansion, and raced for a penny, and the cell boss told the Zhang family's money as if pouring beans.

The Zhang family had collusion with the bandits, and a son-in-law was a bandit, so he was imprisoned, but the Zhang family was not in good health, and died in prison within a few days, and none of them survived.

Su Yu asked again: "Do you know where the body of the Zhang family is buried?" ”

The cell boss laughed: "Why do you need to bury, just throw it at the mass grave, and forget it." ”

Su Yu asked, "Where is the mass grave?" ”

12.16 Xiaoxiang fans carnival, about the gods, grab the gifts!

Where are the mass graves? ”

The cell boss glanced at Su Yu and said, "You don't want to go, but don't go, that Zhang family has already died, and the bones may be gnawed by the wild cats and dogs, and you won't be able to find them if you go." ”

Su Yu didn't speak, and after a while, she asked the cell leader: "I want to ask, what disease did the Zhang family have, when did they die, did they die of the disease together, or who died first and who died later?" ”

This made the cell boss annoyed, and the cell boss shouted: "Oh, there are people looking for me inside, and I won't tell you." With that, he slipped away.

Su Yu looked at the back of the cell leader, but laughed. This cell boss is really interesting, she only said that the Zhang family was dead, and when she asked carefully, she didn't know a word, it seems that this thing is weird.

She was really startled when she heard that the Zhang family was dead, and then she saw that the cell boss didn't match her words, so she slowly came back to her senses, perhaps, the death of the Zhang family was a fraud death, but Su Yu didn't plan to ask, if the Zhang family died, there was really nothing to ask, but if she didn't die, she asked again, wouldn't that cause trouble for the Zhang family.

Su Yu asked just now, judging from their appearance and age, Su A and the others were not among them. Be the son-in-law of the bandits, is her father, her father took her mother and eldest sister away?

Shudi?

Su Yu guessed and went back to the inn, she didn't plan to go, the eldest brother went there last year, and he will be able to come back this year. If the mother really went to Shudi, I don't know if they can touch it. Su Yu thought again, if the eldest brother was looking for his father in the Jin Palace, he should be able to touch it......

Alas, this matter can only be guessed, there is no one in sight, and there is no bottom.

Moreover, her father is in Shudi, it was Yuan Huan who said it, if this news is wrong, then the matter is even more complicated, I hope Yuan Huan's words are true, she doesn't want to have a father who is a thief.

Su Yu inquired outside for a day, but he didn't find any useful news, since this is the case, then he must not be able to ask anything.

Su Yu pondered, tomorrow I will rest here for another day, and the day after tomorrow I will go to the state capital.

――

Zhang Xiaolu looked at the sky in a daze.

It shouldn't be like this, she remembered that the cold winter was very long, and the snow had not melted in April, so there were no crops to grow, and there was no food, and many croppers sold their sons and daughters just to survive.

Zhang Qing and Old Man Zhang went to buy grain according to Zhang Xiaolu's words, they moved to a small town, the town is not big, the people are pure, Uncle Zhang listened to the children's words, spent ten taels to buy grain, all bought is millet and corn, they rented a small house, this house is next to the city gate, the location is not very good, so it is only five taels for a year.

Old man Zhang wanted to rent a house in the suburbs, but Zhang Xiaolu refused, she persuaded Uncle Zhang and Zhang Qing again, and they used all the tricks, so they almost died, Uncle Zhang was really afraid that she would die, so he sighed and agreed.

The remaining twenty taels were left with five articles, and the rest got together with Old Man Zhang, ready to buy a field, Zhang Xiaolu wanted to stop again, but this time, the Zhang family refused to listen to her.

Zhang Xiaolu was very sad, secretly looked for Zhang Qing, and wiped her tears: "Brother, just listen to me, this year is not good, God doesn't appreciate food, let's not plant crops today, I can't say that the money will be compensated for this." ”

Zhang Qingdao: "If you buy the field, you will pay for it?" Even if this year's harvest is poor, isn't there still next year? You can't sit back and eat empty. ”

After what Zhang Xiaolu said last time that the matter of freezing to death and starving to death did not work, Zhang Qing didn't believe her very much, or didn't believe it at all.

Zhang Xiaolu hurriedly said: "Big brother, I'm your sister-in-law, will I still harm you?" ”

In the memory of my previous life, this year was really difficult, I couldn't farm, and if I planted, I would lose money, even if I bought land, I could buy it after the disaster, and the land was extremely cheap at that time.

Zhang Xiaolu's eyes lit up when she thought of this, and she pulled Zhang Qing and said: "Big brother, think about it, if you can't grow anything in the field this year, then they will definitely sell the field, and the price of the field will drop, and we will buy it again at that time." What do you think? ”

Zhang Qing pulled away Zhang Xiaolu's hand: "Look at how good the weather is, now is the time to go to the field, and it will be too late if you don't buy land." "How can the words of the dream be true?

Zhang Qing felt that his sister-in-law was indeed a demonic barrier.

Outside the house, the voice of the old man Zhang sounded: "Ah Qing, why haven't you come out yet, you still have to go to the rice mill today, don't rub it." ”

When Zhang Xiaolu heard this, she jumped up in shock: "Brother, do you want to sell rice?" "No! Absolutely not!

Zhang Qing turned his head and said: "Of course, the millet at home has become a mountain, and the early rice will be ripe in two months, so the millet we harvest is old grain, and it will definitely not be sold at that time." "Take advantage of the fact that you can sell some now, otherwise, you will lose a lot.

After Zhang Qing finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Zhang Xiaolu suddenly said loudly: "Brother, if you sell the grain, I will die here!" This is not a small voice, and everyone in the courtyard has heard it.

Mrs. Zhang also heard it, and she was very angry: "Touch, hurry up, we don't have anything like you in our house!" "It's just like doing it at home, it's better than a tiger.

Zhang Qing thought that Zhang Xiaolu was just talking and playing, but he didn't expect that with a bang, Zhang Xiaolu really hit the wall, this time the force of the collision was not big, and there was no blood, but there was a swollen bag on his forehead.

Zhang Xiaolu said weakly: "Grandpa, father, if you sell grain, I will really die next time!" "If you have no grain or rice, you have to go crazy, eat tree bark and weeds, and eat human flesh, and it is better to die than to live like that.
