138 drowned
His face turned pale.
Su Yu looked at his expression and then said: Have you been to the shop and the backyard?
Wang Xiaozeng froze for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
Su Yudao: The backyard collapsed, where you can't do it, I was going to separate the shop from the backyard, and only build a shop at that time, but early this morning, Huang Yapo came over and said that someone wanted that land. Su Yu stopped when she said this.
Wang Xiaozeng suppressed the anger in his heart and reluctantly said: That's really congratulations.
Su Yu stared at his face for a while, and then said: Don't worry, even if the shop is sold, I still have a house to build, but it's not in the town, I just don't know if you want to.
As soon as Wang Xiaozeng heard this, his whole body became energetic: willing, I am willing.
Su Yu said again: Don't worry, as long as your craftsmanship is good, the price is the same as that shop, but after looking at the foundation, let's design the drawings, and I will have some additional requirements at that time. Such as showers, such as clean toilets, such as drains......
There are also warehouses and cellars, and as for the house, it is natural to build a few more.
She thought about it, if the shop in the town is sold, with spare money, the house at home is still more than enough to build, before the eldest brother was not afraid of no supervision, isn't she there, anyway, next to her house, just go occasionally when the time comes.
Wang Xiaozeng said: No problem, no problem. As long as the price is there, the other qiē is easy to say.
After Wang Xiaozeng finished speaking, he asked uncertainly: This is really no problem, right?
Su Yudao: The premise is that the shop has to be sold, if the shop is not sold, then build a shop, anyway, this job will not be gone.
Wang Xiaozeng said: I know, I know. Whatever it is, it's just a job to do.
Su Yu said again: Ugly words can be said ahead, building a house is a big deal, if you don't do a good job, don't blame me for driving people out.
When Wang Xiaozeng heard this, he laughed, he patted his chest and said: Don't dare to say anything else, this craft is absolutely fine, if it weren't for this, then Lu Mason wouldn't look at me everywhere.
Su Yu asked Wang Xiaozeng to come to her in two days, of course, if the rain didn't stop, then come back when the rain stopped, Wang Xiaozeng agreed, and then left, but ah, he was a little worried.
After Wang Xiaozeng left, Su Yu asked Gao Ping and Gao Le to stay at home, and she went out with an oil-paper umbrella, she had to go to Buzhuang, and before leaving, she also took a special look at Gao Ping and Gao Le.
She thought about it, if these two children are good, then they must be honest at home, if they are not safe, they will definitely turn over the things in the house, and when the time comes......
After all, the heart of defense is indispensable, these two children are pitiful, but ah, if you want her to take them in, it must be that there is no problem with her character, otherwise, the word luring the wolf into the house is not in vain.
The rain still hasn't stopped, pedestrians are in a hurry, the shop business on the street is very light, on a rainy day, the average person is okay, who is willing to go out, and even the bun stall on the side of the road has not come out to do business.
When Su Yu arrived at Buzhuang, Buzhuang was deserted, there was no one, and the shop partner was dozing.
Su Yu took the umbrella, shook off the water, and then walked into the cloth village.
The shopkeeper heard the footsteps and woke up suddenly, he was a little dazed just now, and then he saw someone coming in, he stood up all of a sudden, and when he saw Su Yu's face clearly, he said with a smile: It turned out to be the sister of the Su family, are you here to find the shopkeeper?
Su Yu smiled: Yes, is the shopkeeper there?
The shopkeeper said, "Wait, the shopkeeper has just gone out, and he will come back in a while."
Su Yu looked at the rain outside, and said with some surprise: With such a heavy rain, the shopkeeper still went out?
The shopkeeper said: It seems to be related to the business of Buzhuang, so isn't the Chen family gone? After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he cautiously glanced outside the door again, and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: The Chen family's family has been taken away, but some shops have been stayed, and the shopkeeper has not been replaced.
And then what? Su Yu pricked up his ears and listened.
The guy in the shop said: Originally, everyone thought that the Chen family was gone, but the son-in-law of the Chen family was the little son of the Chang family, and he thought that Changzhi County would take care of the stall left by the Chen family.
The voice of the shopkeeper became smaller and smaller: That Chang Xiaogongzi actually went alone, and he didn't even bring the little wife, I also heard them say that the little Chen girl has never been out since she married into the Chang family, and the lady who used to be good friends with Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chang couldn't see the new daughter-in-law, and said it was ......
The shopkeeper paused for a while, and when he saw Su Yu's expression, he said mysteriously: He said that he was seriously ill, and he couldn't see anyone at all.
What the?
Chang Qian went to Beijing, he still went alone, it was impossible, his parents would never let him go to Beijing alone, at least he had to take an escort to send him there.
Also, Miss Chen Si is seriously ill? This news is really tight.
Su Yu looked at the guy in surprise: How do you know?
The guy at the shop said mysteriously: It was passed on by the servants of the Du family, and they wanted to eat the business left by the Chen family, so they kept an extra close eye on it.
The Du family? Oh, it's that Du Xiaopang's family, when Hua Rui sold himself to bury his father before, Du Xiaopang intervened, but he was disgusted by Hua Rui, and he left angrily, it turned out to be his family.
As soon as the shop guy said it, he couldn't stop: the girl of the Chen family who married into Changfu was not valued by Changfu at all, and ah, everyone saw it, because Master Chen carried the coffin to the door of Changfu, and the beams of the two families were settled, and everyone said that because of this matter, then Chen Mansion wanted to stay away, since Changzhi County would not stand out for the people of the Chen family, then Master Du had no scruples!
He said it with relish, these were all said by the shopkeeper, it was gossip and some speculation, and then it became like this.
Su Yu asked him: Then the affairs of Changfu and Chen Mansion have nothing to do with us.
The shopkeeper opened his eyes wide and said: How can it be okay, there are a lot of cloth villages in this town, if they steal their business, our cloth village will be ......
Su Yu stared at the shopkeeper for a while, and suddenly asked: Is this cloth village from the Deng family?
The shopkeeper laughed dryly, then nodded slightly.
Su Yu was puzzled and said: No, I heard that the Deng family's cloth village is on East Street, didn't it mean......
The shopkeeper said: The shopkeeper of our store is Mrs. Nadu's brother-in-law. After speaking, the shopkeeper coughed again and said: This shop is the Du family on the surface, but in private it is the shopkeeper himself, so he is the master.
Mrs. Du's brother-in-law is the shopkeeper, is this even more surprising, if so, then the shopkeeper's background should not be bad, how can he be the shopkeeper, although Su Yu was very puzzled in his heart, but in the end he still didn't ask.
Su Yu waited in Buzhuang for a while, but the shopkeeper still didn't come back, seeing that it was almost noon, Su Yu couldn't sit still, she stood up and said to the shopkeeper: I still have something to do, wait for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to come back.
The shopkeeper said with an embarrassed face: Okay, I will definitely tell the shopkeeper about your coming, I'm really sorry for making you wait all morning.
Su Yu smiled: It's okay. After saying that, she left the shop.
The rain did not stop, but the heavy rain turned into moderate rain, Su Yu was walking on the road, but his heart was up, I don't know if the house in Sujia Village can stand it, it will leak rain, right?
Seeing that it is almost December, the weather will get colder and colder, and the rainy days will become more and more frequent, because of the rainy weather in the past few days, the temperature has dropped by ten degrees all of a sudden, and the wind has become colder.
Not long after Su Yu walked out of Buzhuang, she suddenly wanted to bring the clothes she promised to the two children, so she turned her head and walked towards Buzhuang, but to her surprise, she approached and found that Buzhuang was closed.
Strange, why did it close the door in a good way?
There's a big lock on the door, and it looks like there's really no one inside, and the guy in the store is walking so fast.
Since the door is closed, naturally she can't buy old clothes, Su Yu thought about it, and was about to go home, but when she looked back, there was no food at home, so she bought two more dishes, and the food on a rainy day was really expensive, two copper plates more expensive than usual.
She was carrying the vegetables, and before she was at the door, she saw Huang Yapo knocking on the door at the door of her house, and at the same time shouted in a loud voice: Sister of the Su family, open the door quickly, quickly, something good has come to the door.
Found it so soon?
Su Yu shouted: Huang Yapo, I'm here, why is it so urgent? Could it be that the one hundred and fifty taels she said really came to pass? If it's not so fast, ordinary people should think about it for a few more days.
When Huang Yapo saw Lord Su, she ran over happily: Happy event, big happy event, the buyer agreed! Moreover, he also said that if this business is completed, he will give her ten taels of silver, how generous, how good this person is, giving money is so refreshing, and the only problem now is to persuade the Su master to sell the shop.
That's one hundred and fifty taels, as long as the head is fine, it will definitely be sold, and those ten taels can definitely go into my own pocket, Huang Yapo smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a slit.
Su Yu said to Huang Yapo: Let's go into the house and talk.
Good, good. Huang Yapo smiled from ear to ear, the silver sent to the door, if she was fast, maybe she would be able to go to the yamen today, and then she would be able to receive the silver.
After Huang Yapo finished speaking, she said in a complaining tone: Your door is not locked, there are people in the house, strange, I didn't open the door when I screamed, and I thought you deliberately ignored me.
Su Yu said slowly: There are only two children at home, I told them before leaving, don't open the door when a stranger tells you, so as not to cause anything. The door was bolted and not locked, which meant that Gao Ping and Gao Le were honestly staying at home.
Huang Yapo said: Oh, it turns out that the child is at home. After Huang Yapo finished speaking, she looked at the Su master again, and then again, the little girl of the Su family is only a half-old child, alas, strange, when she talked about business with this Su girl, she didn't think that the little girl of the Su family was a child.
Su Yu came to the door with Huang Yapo, and then shouted: Xiaole, open the door. Gao Ping's leg was injured, and it was impossible for him to come and open the door.
Soon, a gurgling voice came, and then, as soon as the door opened, Gao Le bent his eyes and said: Sister Su, you are back!
Su Yu also smiled: Yes, let's go in.
Huang Yapo's eyes turned around Gao Le's hair several times, obediently, this head was cut, like a bald head.
Su Yu took Huang Yapo into the house, Gao Ping and Gao Le were in the east room, and Su Yu brought Huang Yapo to the west house, so that it was easy to discuss things.
Gao Ping went to the kitchen with Gao Le, they took the initiative to help get the food, they were afraid that they would be useless and would be driven away, anyway, it was a day to stay one more day.
Westinghouse.
Huang Yapo couldn't wait to open her mouth: The buyer said, one hundred and fifty taels, the deal.
Su Yu looked at Huang Yapo and asked: He doesn't have any other requirements? was so refreshing, Su Yu became more and more suspicious that the person was coming for something in the pit.
Huang Ya Po said happily: That is, the one was very generous, and he also said that the sooner the better, and there will be no shortage of silver.
Su Yu asked: What about others?
Huang Yapo shook her head and said: It didn't appear, it was said that we were fully responsible for the exercise of power, you can rest assured, the silver has been deposited in the bank, he gave the silver ticket, the transaction is completed, and the silver ticket will be given to you.
Huang Yapo said again: The silver ticket went to Yinzhuang to recognize it, and it is true.
Su Yu glanced at Huang Yapo deeply, then stood up and said, "Then don't wait, let's go."
Huang Yapo asked worriedly: Is the title deed brought?
Su Yuxiao: You can rest assured, take it. After Su Yu finished speaking, he was worried again: At this time, the people in the yamen should be having lunch, is there anyone in the yamen who is on an errand?
Huang Yapo smiled: When I come over, we will go to the tooth shop to do something, there must be someone, let's go.
Huang Yapo opened the door after speaking, and as soon as the door opened, the rain splashed on her feet, and Huang Yapo sighed: My good man, this rain is heavy again, this is simply a torrential rain, and those who are close to the water are going to be unlucky. If it rains hard, the river will definitely rise, and if it rises hard, let alone the people who live by the river, I am afraid that even the village will be completely flooded.
When Su Yu heard this, his heart was hanging, there is a big river in Sujia Village, although the water is still quite deep, but the water flow is stable, and there is generally no problem, but this is a heavy rain, the river will not only rise, the water will definitely become urgent, Su Zhu secretly thought in his heart, there is no well at home, and it has become a problem to carry water on this rainy day.
Before going out, Su Yu was about to cross the street Gao Ping and Gao Le looked at the house, but they were helping in the kitchen, she was a little surprised: Ah Ping, didn't you let you take care of your leg injury, why do you always walk around, this is not good.
Gao Ping bowed his head and said: I will take good care of my legs.
Su Yu sighed, and said to Gao Le: I have something to do with Huang Yapo to go out, remember to bolt the door, obediently at home, and I will come back to cook later.
When Gao Le heard about eating, he smiled and said, "Okay."
Huang Yapo was wearing a robe, Su Yu was holding an umbrella, and then went out together, the heavy rain hit the ground, and the splash wet Su Yu's trouser legs, and when she walked to the yamen, even her knees were wet, Huang Yapo was stronger than her.
It is worthy of a relationship, in just a quarter of an hour, the transfer procedures were completed, and the one hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets naturally arrived in Su Yu's hands. As soon as the transfer was completed, Huang Yapo hurried away, waiting for the things to be delivered to the buyer so that she could get the money.
Su Yu carefully hid the silver ticket, and then left the yamen, she thought that she had earned a hundred taels of silver for nothing, so she moved the idea of buying new clothes for the two children, well, just buy cheaper, it shouldn't cost much, she was happy in her heart, and it was okay to spend it.
The cloth village on West Street still didn't open, Su Yu went to find a small cloth shop again, and then bought two sets of clothes for children, she bought two new sets, without bargaining, but let the shopkeeper build two sets of old clothes, which were given away for free, so she still made money.
The owner of the small cloth shop was also happy, it was not easy to make a business on this rainy day, besides, the old clothes could not be sold, and the profits made by the new clothes were still earned in addition to the cost of the old clothes.
Su Yu took the clothes and went home, when she sent the clothes to Gao Ping and Gao Le, Gao Ping and Gao Le were dumbfounded, Gao Le put on the clothes, and asked cautiously: This, is this really for me?
Su Yudao: Of course, I don't know what your number is, but I roughly estimated it, if it is big, it will be a volume at that time.
Gao Ping was also very happy when he heard it, but when he saw the dress, he took out the new clothes very preciously, and then handed it to Su Yudao: Sister Su, did you put your clothes wrong, this one is mine. He pointed to the old garment.
Su Yu smiled: That's right, this is a new set of clothes for you, two sets, just a change of clothes.
Gao Ping heard this and muttered, "But we don't have any money for you."
Gao Le was reluctant to get new clothes, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: Sister Su, otherwise, do you have a shortage of people, or I and my brother will work for you. It would be nice if I could stay.
Gao Ping also looked at Su Yu with a look of hope.
Su Yu deliberately said slowly: I have to think about it.
Gao Le stepped forward, held Su Yu's hand and said seriously: Sister Su, you have to think carefully, we will help you work for free, just manage the food, if so, if the food is not enough, we will eat one meal a day, if there is no place to live, we can sleep in the firewood room, really.
――
The river in Sujia Village is rising higher and higher, the houses by the river have been flooded, and the river is still rising.
Su family.
Su Daniu pushed Su A-Niang and said: Mother, don't be stunned, let's go quickly. She was carrying a big package, holding a little black donkey in her hand, and the back of the little black donkey was pulling a light frame, and the car was loaded with hares and chicks, as well as two big quilts, and Xiaobao was also in the car, this little black donkey had grown up a lot, and it should be able to move.
Su Daniu and Su Aniang were holding the little black donkey in front of them, and the other was following behind the car, and their bodies were full of things, which not only looked like they were going out of the house, but also like moving.
Su A-Niang sighed and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go to town." I don't dare to stay in this village, the water is too strong, and I don't know how long it will rain, maybe the house will be flooded, so let's go to the town to take shelter.
Su Daniu also said anxiously: Okay, mother, let's stop talking, let's go on the road early, even Lizheng has moved to the town, let's go quickly, if it's late, maybe the town won't let people in.
Good, good.
Su A-Niang was also anxious when she said this, she brought all the silver in the family with her, she was afraid that the house would be flooded, and the silver would not be able to be found back at that time.
Su Xiaobao held his precious book and sat in the donkey cart, his side was full of things, which made him a little breathless.
Su Daniu glanced back at her house and sighed: Erniu's vinegar is wasted, the vat is too heavy to lift it. The dried bamboo shoots were loaded into the car, after all, the dried bamboo shoots were light.
Su A-Niang also said: This is also a helpless thing, who knew that the rain would be so heavy.
Su Daniu suddenly thought of the Zhangjiacun reservoir, she said: Mother, didn't there be a problem with the reservoir in Zhangjiacun before, and now I don't know what's going on, you say, what are they ...... If the reservoir collapses, the entire Zhangjia Village will be flooded, which is worse than their Sujia Village.
When Su A-Niang heard this, her face turned pale: No, even if there is something wrong with the reservoir, your grandmother and your uncle can't stay in Zhangjia Village stupidly, they will definitely leave. None of them are stupid people, who would die stupidly.
Su Daniu said: Ah, if you go to the town, then you can't rent a house, alas, the rent in the town will have to increase again.
Su Aniang said: Didn't your eldest brother rent a shop, and said that he brought a backyard.
Su Daniu sighed: Didn't you say that the reconstruction was pushed, it was only built for ten days, and it must not have been built.
Su A-Niang couldn't help but complain: What to build, since you rent it and move in, you can't get it, and it's not our thing, okay, what are you building him for.
Su Daniu originally wanted to say that it was our family's shop, but in the end, she still shut up, in case her mother knew, maybe she would become a scattered wealth boy, after all, if she has a family business, then all the money in her hand will be lent to the Zhang family.
Su Daniu secretly thought: Let's discuss it with Erniu.
There are a lot of people who move to the town like their family, because the terrain of the town is relatively high, and the walls are high, so it is much safer than those villages, but if all the people in those villages move to the town, the town may not be able to accommodate so many people.
