Chapter 10 Departure
"Mom, guess what I heard when I went to wash clothes by the river today?"

Without waiting for Li to ask, Ji continued.

"I don't know where to get some chickens from Lao Er's house. Yesterday, Wang Ma Liuhai and the two of them bought chickens from Lao Er's house. It cost eight yuan apiece. I heard that his house sold for 320 yuan yesterday." Just, I did the math, it’s a total of [-] renminbi. You said where did the second family get chickens to sell, and I haven’t heard that his family has chickens?”

Mrs. Li thought to herself, how would I know if you ask me.

"I know, if you don't hurry up and wash your clothes, you will be lazy every day."

Mrs. Ji curled her lips while carrying Mrs. Li, and carried the basin out of the yard, but instead of going to the river, she found a shady place to laze around, thinking of going back in another hour.

As soon as Mrs. Ji left, Mrs. Li could no longer rub the hemp rope in her hand, so she threw away the hemp rope in her hand, got up and patted the grass clippings on her body, and went to the second son's house.

When I arrived at the door of the second child's house, I saw the lock on the door of the second child's house, and I was immediately puzzled.The second brother, his wife, and Brother Sheng were working in the town. Isn't Sanya at home? Why is the courtyard door locked?Then I thought again, that dead girl must have gone somewhere to play, and she was nowhere to be found.

Standing at the door of the courtyard and cursing, Li had to go back first since she couldn't get in, planning to come back when it got dark.

When Mrs. Ji came back, she was a little disappointed to see that there were no more chicks in the house, but she didn't dare to ask Mrs. Su. According to her mother-in-law's temperament, as long as the second child's family has them, their family will have them sooner or later, and they don't care about the moment.

At dusk, Mrs. Li went to her second son's house again, but the courtyard door of her second son's house was still locked. She was a little puzzled. That damn girl didn't cook at home?She didn't come back at this time, but she was determined tonight and was waiting at the entrance of the hospital. She didn't believe that the damn girl wouldn't come back.

I just kept waiting and waiting. When the eldest brother came to find him, the second eldest son and his family were not back yet.

"Mom, why are you standing here? We are waiting for you to eat at home."

After asking, I found that the door of the second child's house was locked.

"Hey, why is the door of the second child's house locked, why don't you come back after this hour?"

"I waited here all night, but there wasn't even a ghost in his house, and I don't know where they died."

"I probably went to my second brother and sister's house."

Apart from this, Boss Su couldn't figure out where his second brother's family would go.

The people in the old house knew that it was three days later when Su Laoer's family left.Mr. Liu sent his long-term laborer to tend the two acres of land he bought from the second son of Su. The third son of Su happened to be in the field. After asking, he found out that his second brother had sold the field, and ran home in a panic. .

"My parents are in trouble! My second brother sold the land."

As soon as Su Laosan entered the house, he yelled loudly, and everyone in the house came out.

"Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Why did your second brother sell the field?"

Mrs. Li didn't believe it at all that her second son had sold the land. If the land was sold, what would the family have to eat?

"Mom, what I said is true. I didn't go to the fields today, but I saw the long-term workers of Rich Master Liu's family in the fields of the second brother's family. When I asked, I found out that the second brother had sold all the fields to Rich Master Liu and wanted It’s unlikely that his family’s long-term workers will tend to the second brother’s fields.”

Hearing what Su Laosan said, the whole family is so angry. Although the land was distributed to the second son's family, the second son's family has no right to sell the land.Except for the younger one and the third daughter-in-law, the whole family rushed to Su's second son's house in a fit of anger.

But General Tie was still guarding the door, but the careful Boss Su found that the lock was already covered with a layer of dust. Obviously, the lock had not been touched for several days.Then the family discussed and went to Lian's mother's house. When they went to Lian's mother's house, they still didn't see Su Lao'er and his family. After making a fuss, they found out that the family of four had moved out of Wangjiacun, and now no one was there. Know where.

When the people in the old house knew about this, they felt that half of the sky in the old house had collapsed. In the past, it didn’t make much difference to the people in the old house whether Mr. Su’s family was in the old house or they were separated. Second, as long as there is money, it must belong to the old house. This is something that everyone in the old house has never said, but everyone knows it in their hearts. It’s just that now that the old Su’s family is gone, what will happen in the future? Pass.

At this time, the four members of the Su family who were walking on the road didn't care what the old house thought. They had been walking for three days now, and they didn't have much money. They couldn't eat well or sleep well in the past three days. During the day, I ate the dry food I brought with me, and at night, I found a quilt in a corner and spread it. Fortunately, spring has begun and the weather is gradually warming up. It is not too cold at night, and it is okay to sleep outside.

In fact, Su Yu felt a little regretful in his heart. He didn't make sufficient preparations in advance when he came out, and it was still unknown where they would end up.

"Dad, let's rest for a while."

"Listen to my daughter, my dear, let's take a rest."

The family of four came under the big tree in front. Su Laoer parked the cart and sat on the ground. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with one sleeve and fanned the wind with one hand. It was really hot today.

Su Yu thoughtfully took a straw fan to fan her father. She was not so tired walking with her hands free, but she felt sorry for her father, who had to pull a cart along the way.

Su Sheng took an earthen jar from the trolley with a bowl on it, poured a bowl of water and handed it to Su Lao Er.

"Father, drink some water first."

At this time, Su Laoer's mouth was so dry that he drank all the water in the bowl in one breath, and handed the empty bowl to Su Sheng, who then poured another bowl of water and handed it to Lian Shi.

"Mom, drink some water."

Lianshi was weaving a straw hat in her hands, and she didn't lift her head.

"Brother Sheng, drink first. Mom is not thirsty."

Without hesitation, Su Sheng gulped down the water in the bowl, poured another bowl and handed it to Su Yu.

"Thank you bro."

It has been the third day since leaving the village, and the family of four has long lost the excitement they had when they first left the village.

"Girl, have you heard that which official master is better?"

Su's second child works on the dock all year round, and he knows that there is nothing wrong with suffering, but if the county magistrate above is a shady master, no matter how good he is, he will not be able to live a good life.

Su Yu also wanted to know, but she had been wandering around the village before. How could she know? She had heard a lot, but what they said was different from each other. Besides, could any of the rumors be believed?
And she really underestimated walking on two legs. They have been walking for three days now, and they have not yet left the state capital. No wonder when I was reading books, I heard that those who went to Beijing to catch the exam left half a year earlier. It's not an exaggeration at all, she really understands it now.

"Dad, I haven't heard of it, but I thought that if the officials above are not doing well, the people below must have a bad life. We will then look at the lives of the local people and we will be able to tell whether the officials above are good or not. "

"My daughter is right."

Su Sheng rolled his eyes violently in his heart, the younger sister said that the dog poop on the side of the road is delicious, so neither his parents nor his parents would object.
