Chapter 31: Su's mother and daughter
Chapter 31 Su Family Mother and Daughter
After talking about Mrs. Li, the matter of relocation can be officially put on the agenda.
The three discussed briefly along this topic, and finally decided to move to another place.
The reason given by Ye Jinkui is, "There are many wild animals in the deep mountains and old forests nearby. It is too dangerous to live in, and it is not convenient to buy things."
Although Mrs. Li didn't speak, what she had in mind was Ye Anlan's marriage.
Ye Anlan can't be considered young anymore. In four or five years at most, she will have to arrange for Ye Anlan to marry. If the family moves to the deep mountains and old forests, where will she find a good and reliable husband-in-law for Ye Anlan in the future?
Ye Anlan can do both. For her, it is not easy to go to the deep mountains to deal with beasts and snakes, or go to other places to deal with similar malicious people.
Calling Zheng Fengshou and Ye Song over, the family made a rough division of tasks. However, before they could really get into the preparations, a major incident occurred in the Su family.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Su was robbed of her eldest daughter-in-law's yin and yang, and she was so angry that she swallowed her last breath.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, as soon as Mrs. Su's coffin was carried up the mountain, Su Xiaohe's mother and daughter were driven out by several of her aunts.
The mother and daughter are penniless, so they can only ask the elders of the same clan to help uphold justice, but the old men of the Su family are unwilling to help Su Xiaohe mother and daughter fight for their interests.
In their view, Su Xiaohe is just a girl, and has no right to share the property of the Su family.
As for Aunt Su, a widowed and childless daughter-in-law has no human rights.
Aunt Su's tears were almost shed, but Su Xiaohe's uncle and aunt also watched coldly and turned them away.
The mother and daughter had nowhere to go, which made Li very worried. After consulting Ye Jinkui and Ye Anlan, she lent her house to Su Xiaohe's mother and daughter, and then gave them firewood, food, oil and salt, quilts, pots and pans and other daily necessities.
"Yuanniang, thank you. Without your family, my mother and I don't know how many days we can live." Li Shi comforted Aunt Su in the room, while Su Xiaohe pulled Ye Anlan tearfully, "Don't worry, I and I Mother will definitely not eat and live for free, we"
Ye Anlan patted Su Xiaohe, "Let's not mention these things for now. You and your mother plan to just forget about your family's affairs?"
Su Xiaohe looked aggrieved, "My mother said it was just for my grandma's face, she didn't want people to laugh at her for not teaching her grandchildren well when my grandma's bones were still cold."
Ye Anlan nodded, "Then you can live in my house with peace of mind. After the first month, I will ask my parents to transfer the house to you and your mother."
Su Xiaohe felt that she was hallucinating, she stared blankly at Ye Anlan, "Yuan Niang, there seems to be something wrong with my ears."
Ye Anlan:
Ye Anlan coughed lightly, "You heard me right, I did say that the house will be under your and your mother's name. My parents and I have already decided to move to another place. After the first month, the weather will be warmer. We will leave Xiaohezhuang."
Su Xiaohe was dumbfounded, "Why, why? Didn't you just build a new house?"
"Because of refugees, bandits, and rebels." Ye Anlan briefly explained her family's considerations to Su Xiaohe, "...Think about your two uncles. If they hadn't been captured by rebels, you and your mother wouldn't have been caught Forced to leave the house."
Su Xiaohe pursed her lips hard, "Then you won't come back again?"
"It should be." After all, it was only a small mountain village where he lived briefly, and Ye Anlan didn't miss it. Moreover, this is ancient times, and the transportation is inconvenient. Once you go far, it will be very difficult to come back.
Su Xiaohe held Ye Anlan's hand subconsciously, and after a moment of silence, she mustered up the courage to ask Ye Anlan, "Yuanniang, can you take me and my mother with you? We don't know how to eat, and I can do any job." Come on, I can also practice martial arts with you, and fight bad guys with you."
Ye Anlan frowned, "We don't have a clear destination, and we will definitely meet all kinds of bad guys and dangers on the road. Even I can't guarantee that you and your mother can reach the destination alive."
Su Xiaohe smiled wryly, "Even so, I want to leave with you. In these ten miles and eight villages, except for your family, no one is willing to help me and my mother. And you also said that Xiaohezhuang is very dangerous, and the villagers are also very dangerous. Discord."
Su Xiaohe felt that if she followed Ye Anlan, she and her mother might die, but if she didn't follow Ye Anlan, she and her mother would die sooner.
Ye Anlan didn't agree directly, she said to Su Xiaohe: "You should discuss it with your mother first."
What she didn't know was that after hearing what Mrs. Li said, Aunt Su already had the idea of leaving with them.
The mother and daughter thought surprisingly the same way. In their minds, their relatives were worse than none. Instead of relying on them, they might as well rely on the only Ye family who gave them a helping hand.
The mother and daughter discussed it properly, and gave Ye Anlan an affirmative answer early the next morning.
Ye Anlan had already consulted Ye Jinkui and Li Shi last night, and neither of them objected, so Ye Anlan agreed to the mother and daughter of the Su family.
The mother and daughter of the Su family wept with joy, the two no longer lived at the foot of the mountain, they moved to another cave on their own initiative, and then helped the Ye family prepare things to take away every day.
Li's eyes are not very good, and Ye Anlan doesn't do needlework, so the mother and daughter of the Su family took the initiative to take over all the needlework, sitting in front of the cave every day, sewing quilted clothes, sturdy cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles, and packing fried rice and fried noodles. , dried meat, dried vegetables, medicine bags.
After sewing, the mother and daughter went to help Mrs. Li organize the food, clothes, straw mats, bedding, cooking utensils, tableware and other items to be taken away.
As for the others.
Ye Wei was in charge of taking care of the younger sister Ye Tang, Ye Song was in charge of watching out for movements down the mountain and protecting the family members, Zheng Fengshou and Ye Jinkui were in charge of going out with Ye Anlan.
The task of the three of them is dangerous and arduous, because they not only have to find a way to **** food from the tiger's mouth, get money, food, medicine and weapons under the eyes of the rebels, but also have to find ways to inquire about the news and determine the direction and purpose of migration At the same time, you have to sneak in to improve the combat effectiveness of yourself and your companions.
After being so busy for half a month, before leaving, Ye Anlan ventured into the county town, and got back the thirty boxes of scar removal ointment she ordered with the old doctor.
After paying the remaining thirty-two taels, and bought a set of silver needles, a bunch of pills and medicinal materials that might be used during the migration, Ye Anlan took advantage of the night to climb over the wall and leave the city with the money bag with the blood tank empty. .
Carrying a small pannier full of medicines on her back, she walked home on foot under the moonlight. The empty field was silent, and she was the only one walking on the potholed official road alone.
No one was watching, Ye Anlan couldn't help letting herself go. Humming an out-of-tune song, she walked away for about an hour at a brisk pace, her blood was boiling with excitement as she walked, and she was inexplicably happy.
His forehead was wet with sweat, and Ye Anlan was about to find a place to rest, when suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes in front of the road.
Thank you Shi Gandang for your reward, thank you dear
