Chapter 1328 Leaving Liucun
“Dad, I want to go back to my parents’ house and tell my family about this, okay?”
Zhuang Sisi pursed her lips and whispered.
"Okay, you go back and remind your in-laws, and my second daughter-in-law, you can also go back and talk about it. If Lu Yin can be solved, we will leave. Don't be idle these two days, start making dry food at home. "
Old man Liu finally made the decision.
"Yes, Dad!"
When the three brothers returned to their own house, they were not in a hurry to rest. They all talked to their wives in low voices, especially the eldest and second brother. What should they tell their wives when they return to their parents' home? What can and cannot be said.
After hearing this, Lianyi coaxed Shangen to sleep. When the two woke up the next day, their parents were no longer on the kang.
Lianyi directed Shan Gen to get dressed, and then took his little brother to wash up, and then met up with Erya, Sanshan, and Dafeng. A group of carrot heads all carried their own small backpacks, preparing to fight with the people in the village. Go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.
Old man Liu didn't stop him. Children from farm families are all free-range. At this age, they have to do some simple farm work, and they are beaten until they grow up.
Liu Dahu went to Fenghe Town early in the morning with the money to do something. Feng Xuer was a man who had a lot of money, so he gave him five taels of silver in private, and told his man that if the other party raised the price, as long as the money was enough, don't worry about it, and get it on the road first. Let’s talk about it later.
Liu Dahu also understood that some things are constantly changing. When he inquired about it before, he needed ten taels, but now it is estimated that it will rise, so without saying anything, he took the silver, ate a pancake and left.
The remaining people in the family were not idle, they all started to get busy. There were no cattle at home, so they could only prepare two more carts. The house was worth tens of thousands of dollars, so the things in the house had to be collected.
It was a busy day, and Liu Dahu didn't come back until the sun set in the west. The first thing he did when he came back was to drink water. He had to pay for the water in the town, and he couldn't bear to part with it.
After he quenched his thirst, under the expectant eyes of everyone, he took out the road guide from his arms and handed it to Old Man Liu who was in charge.
"Dad, the person doing the work got a raise. I paid an extra five taels of silver. Fortunately, Xu'er gave me emergency money. If I hadn't brought enough money, I wouldn't have been able to build this road today. It will be raised tomorrow. It’s twenty taels.”
Liu Dahu is also helpless. These officials don’t give people a way to survive. If they make such a fortune, they will definitely be punished in the future.
After hearing this, Old Man Liu nodded and said:
“Third brother, you have done a good job. I will replenish the money for you later. This is everyone’s business and cannot be spent on your wife. The dowry money”
“Thank you dad!”
"Okay, now that we have a road guide, we can leave. Let's clean up quickly these two days. I have been in a mess these past two days, just afraid that something will happen."
"Yes, Dad!"< br>
The three sons responded immediately.
Then the Liu family closed the door and prepared in a low-key manner for three days. At dawn on the fourth day, they used three carts to pull all their belongings and left Liujia Village.
The little carrots in Lianyi were all placed in the car in their sleep. When they woke up from hunger, they were already walking on the official road.
Moreover, the Liu family was lucky enough to follow the team of famous wealthy families in Fenghe Town. They looked like family members of wealthy families, and they left Fenghe Town and headed towards Youzhou.
It was a coincidence that this rich man also went to Youzhou, and Lianyi knew that his good fortune had already benefited the Liu family. Along the way, as the eldest child in the family, Lianyi was mainly responsible for taking good care of his younger brothers and sisters, preventing them from running around and being stared at.
The children of the Liu family have all been nourished by the rippling spiritual spring. Although they wear patched coarse linen clothes, they look good and are obedient and sensible, saving the Liu family a lot of trouble. .
Even so, the journey was not peaceful. When leaving Xuzhou, which was severely affected by the disaster, the team of the wealthy family also encountered robbery. Fortunately, the escort they hired was effective, and the servants fought hard, and finally they were able to escape. No near misses.
There are three strong laborers in the Liu family. They all hold hoes and sickles, surround their daughter-in-law and children, and defend their small home to the death.
Lianyi led the carrots, armed with homemade slingshots, used pebbles to carry out sneak attacks, and finally drove away the robbers at the cost of Old Man Liu being slightly injured.
The three sons struggled to carry their father onto the cart. Lianyi and his younger brothers and sisters made room for him. He also took out the small medical bag prepared on the cart and handed it to him. Feng Xuer.
Feng Xuer calmly cleaned the wound with a burning knife, applied crushed hemostatic grass, then wrapped it with a clean cloth, and let Old Man Liu drink a bowl of brown sugar water, and then looked at The three brothers said:
"Dad's injury is not serious, he just lost some blood. Don't let him walk for the next two days. I will get him some delicious food to make up for it."
< br>
"Okay, I have old bones, so what else can I do? As long as I have my life, it's inconvenient to go out. Don't bother, just change the dressing on time."
Old man Liu waved his hand.
Of course the three sons were unwilling, but they did not argue with their father. They looked at each other, and after they agreed, they did whatever they had to do.
The rich people in front also tidied up the team. They were afraid that these bandits might have back-up plans, so they set off in a hurry. The Liu family naturally followed closely. They walked like this for ten days in a row before leaving Xuzhou completely. territory.
After leaving Xuzhou, they gradually saw green grass and trees on the roadside. Where there was grass, there were wild vegetables. The Liu family secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When they stopped to rest, they would go Pick some wild vegetables and eat them now, and the food consumption will be slower.
Old Man Liu was forced to rest on the cart by his three sons. Ten days later, the wound scabbed and his complexion improved a lot. He strongly requested to get off the car and walk, and alternately ride in the cart with his grandchildren.
This time the three sons did not refuse, mainly because Lianyi secretly gave Old Man Liu a drop of diluted spiritual spring, mixed it in the water and let him drink, so that he could persist.
After entering Youzhou City completely, the Liu family breathed a sigh of relief. The only problem left was settling in. This required Feng Xuer to take action. After all, she had lived here for ten years. , and also worked as a maid in a wealthy family, so she still has some skills.
The Liu family first checked into a cheap inn. After watching Feng Xuer change into decent clothes and take Liu Dahu out, the family waited anxiously for the news.
Lianyi touched the red rope on her wrist, her eyes flashed, and she felt that she would not be with the Liu family for long.
It was not until mid-afternoon that Feng Xuer and Liu Dahu came back, but neither of them looked particularly good. Obviously things didn't go smoothly.
Old man Liu looked at the expressions of the young couple and said:
"Third brother, third brother's wife, how did things go? You can tell me whether it's successful or not. Let’s think of something together.”
This time it was Feng Xuer who explained:
“Dad, we can handle the settlement, but the other party wants too much money for settlement. According to the headcount, one person is five taels of silver, and our family will need sixty taels of silver. They also charge another five taels for the maintenance fee. If you want to choose a good place to settle, you will have to pay extra."
"They. They are robbing openly!"
Liu Dachuan said angrily.
