When you get ho, have Yang Xue carry the basin. Give her three pumpkins.
After sending Yang Xue off, Su Yuanyuan took the money to repay Yang Hongwen, just saying that she had sold the corn yesterday, so it would be easier to talk.
"Girl, have a al at my house today, try the pancakes Aunt made. They’re sauerkraut and vermicelli flavored."
"Aunt, no thanks, I ca to pay back the money for the wheat I owe you."
"What’s the rush?"
"I sold the corn yesterday, so I have money in hand to repay. It’s more reassuring to sleep this way."
Yang Hongwen ca out from the house, "Girl, co in." He had just gotten ho too, the two old won were fighting earlier and insisted he co over, he really didn’t want to deal with that.
"Uncle, here’s the money for the wheat."
Yang Hongwen nodded, took it, counted it once, then set it aside.
"Girl, have you heard? Da Qiang, who went to Jiangbei with your parents, has sent a letter."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Hu Chunhua, my Aunt told just now."
"Girl, I heard that Daqiang’s mother wants to trick Dazhuang’s family into going, so they’re fighting."
Su Yuanyuan nodded again, she had heard this from Wang Qiuju.
"Girl, I went over there just now and figured it out, it’s really tough over there."
Su Yuanyuan understood what Yang Hongwen ant. "Uncle, we just talked about this. My Aunt is afraid my parents will want to replace them."
Yang Hongwen nodded, he was worried about this too.
"Uncle, if that day really cos, just say I owe you money. If they want to replace them, they won’t give anything. This way, I won’t be able to survive there.
I figured I would say I owe you money, and if they want to replace them, they need to pay first, so I can survive when I get there."
Yang Hongwen sighed, "Alright, I know what to say."
Hope they don’t co back, seeing them is upsetting.
Su Yuanyuan smiled and stood up, "Uncle, then I’ll go ho."
Su Yuanyuan felt an urgent feeling; when she got ho, she must grind all the corn into flour, and the wheat too; everything edible at ho must be collected. Plus, the dead trees she had worked hard to chop down. She wasn’t leaving anything behind for them.
Back ho, she didn’t feel like making shoes, so she led out the big ram and started grinding flour.
The snow outside had stopped, looks like she needed to go to the county tomorrow. This matter really needed to be clarified.
On the second day, after clearing the snow at ho, she pushed the cart to Yang Peilin’s house. The cart was loaded with eight bags of cotton, and Yang Peilin helped tie them securely. After paying them, she pushed the cart away.
The villagers saw Su Yuanyuan coming out from Yang Peilin’s house with so much cotton, they ca over to ask.
"That girl is going to the county today, I asked her to help deliver the cotton."
"Are you so at ease with sending her?"
"What’s there to be uneasy about? This girl was born on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, that’s all, nothing else wrong with her.
Xiao Jing, we’re all won, Yuanyuan hasn’t done anything against you, let’s not talk about her. She couldn’t decide on the day she was born. In my view, if there’s a real bad luck charm, it’s her mom."
"Actually, you’re right, that little girl doesn’t even speak loudly."
"Xiao Jing, talk about this outside later, don’t always make things difficult for a little girl."
Su Yuanyuan left the village, walked so distance, and when she saw no one around, she put the cotton into the space.
When she arrived at the county, "Girl, you’re here?"
"Uncle, I’m going to ask the governnt about the situation of those who went to Jiangbei, soone from our village has written back. Yesterday there was a fight in the village. They say if you can find soone to replace you, then you can co back."
"I didn’t know, co on, I’ll go with you to ask."
The two reached the county, it was particularly busy here, everyone was rushing around.
Old Yang brought Su Yuanyuan to find soone he knew and asked about the situation.
"It should be possible."
"The replacent has to be one family mber replacing another, right?"
"That’s how it is."
"Old Xu, this girl’s parents took her brother to Jiangbei, could they make her replace all three of them?"
"The whole family didn’t go together?"
"No, those two are heartless. They left nothing for the girl, it’s thanks to kind villagers she’s okay."
"Old Yang, I’ll take care of this. What you ntioned shouldn’t happen, but if the people there agree, I can’t stop it from happening without signing off here."
"Thanks, Old Xu." Old Yang exchanged more pleasantries before they returned.
"Girl, what do you think?"
"Uncle Yang, honestly it might not be impossible. Even though they wronged and dismissed , they’re still my parents. If that day cos, I could replace them, but they must give a severance certificate. They must pay for everything I’ve arranged, then I would go to Jiangbei."
"Girl, the environnt is extrely harsh."
Su Yuanyuan just smiled, "Uncle Yang, if I don’t agree and they want to take there, can I refuse? It’s better for to go by myself than to serve their whole family."
Old Yang thought about Su Yuanyuan’s words and felt they made a lot of sense.
"Alright, you’re right, co to if you need anything then.
Also, Jinyu and white fish are here for you. Do you want to buy more?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded, of course, they were the most valuable items.
"If you really leave, won’t these be left for them to take?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Don’t worry, Uncle Yang, I’ve hidden them well. No one else can find them."
Su Yuanyuan spent a thousand yuan to buy two boxes of Jinyu and white fish.
"Can you manage to move them? Otherwise, I can drive you."
"I’ll go slowly by myself. Besides, no one would guess a child pushing two boxes is carrying valuable items. Also, Uncle Yang, if you find more, keep them for . I’ll sell fish after a while and will definitely co by."
"Alright, I’ll help you sell them then."
Once she left the county and saw no one around, Su Yuanyuan put them into the space.
She pushed the cart all the way ho, not seeing anyone. Well, it’s not like there’s anything happening, they should be at ho shelling corn or sothing.
When she got ho, Su Yuanyuan started grinding flour again, and the snakeskin bags weren’t enough. The day after tomorrow there’s a big market, she’ll have to go and buy more.
She must buy more, even sweet potato slices need to be ground. This millstone is definitely not going to be left behind for them, but she’s afraid when the ti cos, she won’t have ti to grind.
Knowing this situation, she plans not to go anywhere this year. She’ll stay at ho diligently working. Everything will be made into finished products, so whenever she needs to use them or sell them, it will be convenient.
