Chapter 103 It's time to return home
"What's going on?" Su said in panic, "Is it possible that pirates came in?"
"That's not true, it's just someone taking advantage of the troubled waters to fish in troubled waters. Many businesses in the city have been robbed. Today They didn't even open the door."
Manager Xia said, "I originally took my sons to the street to buy some food, but I didn't expect that we got into a conflict with someone on the way, and the food was finally stolen."
Jiang Tangtang didn't understand their behavior, "You guys yesterday Didn't you bring food with you? Not to mention the extra time, it's enough to eat for three to five days!"
Manager Xia showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, "To prepare for a rainy day, you have to plan for the future."
Is Su in the mansion? As an adult, when you look at Manager Xia's behavior, you will know that they must have defected to Xia's sister-in-law, and there was some rift between them.
She hurriedly grabbed her daughter-in-law and said with a smile: "Manager Xia, we are planning to have dinner. You should go to the room to have some light food first!"
Jiang Tangtang also reacted and invited Manager Xia and others to go back to the room to eat.
In the morning, they kneaded the noodles a lot and made a lot of braised meat, so the Lu family ate noodles this morning.
Seeing that the Lu family had such a good breakfast, the Xia family and his son felt a little embarrassed.
After eating, Xia Zhirong leaned on the wall of the courtyard to see what was going on outside. It was not until noon that Xia Zhirong came down from the wall and said, "Dad, I see there are soldiers patrolling outside. I think it's not that chaotic now. Let's go first." Aunt-in-law!"
Manager Xia nodded and thanked Jiang Tangtang, Su and others: "Thanks to you today. If it weren't for your help, our father and son would have been seriously injured, even if they hadn't died."
Jiang Tangtang said modestly: "It's just a coincidence. Don't be polite to us."
She said, then asked about Wang Lachun, Zhao Jia and others, and finally extended a sincere invitation again, inviting them to come and stay at her home.
Manager Xia took his sons out of the Lu family. Xia Zhirong couldn't help but said: "Aunt is worse than an outsider! I have been in the city for so long, and I don't want to have a full meal at the Lu family."
Xia Zhihua nodded in agreement. "Dad, instead of being angry at my aunt's family, it's better to come and trouble the Lu family. I think the Lu family is quite open-minded and worth getting along with."
Although the other two brothers did not speak, their expressions clearly showed that they agreed with the two older brothers. Said.
Manager Xia pondered for a while and said, "Let's go back and check the situation first!"
"Do you still need to check?" Xia Zhihua said, "Before we settled in last night, my aunt kept saying that there was not enough food in the house and the house was too small. Today. Before dawn in the morning, several cousins were banging on the door. Isn't this an obvious intention to drive us away?"
"If we go back without food, my aunt will definitely not look good on us." Xia Zhirong said.
I have to say that Xia Zhirong's guess was correct. After the Xia family father and son returned to the Huang family, they saw several people with empty hands, and the Huang family didn't look good.
Aunt Xia didn't care about the dignity of her relatives at all and cried about poverty.
"Jia Niang, go pack your things, we're leaving now!" Xia Zhirong was so angry that he directly ordered his wife.
Wang Lachun couldn't help it anymore and cursed: "White-eyed wolf, you Huang family can settle down in the city because we lent you thirty taels! In so many years, we have never come to ask you for anything. On the contrary, we have asked you for anything." The local eggs we raise and the fresh vegetables grown in the fields are always delivered to your home. We don't want us to suffer any trouble and come to seek refuge with you. Even so, you are like this!"
Aunt Xia suddenly felt guilty, but Mother Huang jumped to her feet and said: "You too I said it was a loan, but it's not that I haven't returned the money to you. It's up to us to settle down in the city. Besides, how much are your farm dishes worth? But every time our return gift is from the city. The pastries in it are much more valuable than the radish and green vegetables at your house."
Wang Lachun was so angry that he wanted to quarrel with Huang Mu, but Manager Xia grabbed him and said: "Forget it! Let's go! From now on, we will pretend that we have nothing like this. We are married."
He said, looking at Aunt Xia with disappointment in his eyes and said: "Nianyun, the relationship between you and me as brother and sister is due to this."
"Brother!" Seeing Manager Xia's appearance, Xia Nianyun suddenly panicked.
Manager Xia didn't look at her again and led the family out of Huang's house.
With soldiers on patrol, security on the streets was slightly better. But many shops were not open, so the Xia family drove their bullock carts to the Lu family's house in a dusty journey.
Jiang Tangtang and Su Shi had already tidied up the room.
If only the Lu family lived in this courtyard, it would be quite spacious, but with the addition of more than a dozen people from the Xia family, it suddenly became crowded.
"Auntie, there are not enough rooms at home. I packed up two rooms and came out, so I can only make do with them. Don't dislike it." Jiang Tangtang said with a smile and brought several people to the room.
"You girl, we would be extremely grateful to you for taking in our family at this time. There is nothing to dislike." Wang Lachun said with red eyes.
"Then you guys take a break first!" Jiang Tangtang said.
There were no extra beds, so Jiang Tangtang had some wooden boards removed from the warehouse to use for their shop.
Fortunately, Lu Shiyan brought back some charcoal yesterday and relied on the charcoal to keep warm, so he could survive the night without a quilt.
Otherwise, there are so many people, and I really don't know how to arrange it.
Although Jiang Tangtang is in some trouble here, the Xia family feels closer to them than family members when they see them now.
The two daughters-in-law of the Xia family were rushing to work. Seeing that their help was not needed for cooking in the kitchen, they took a hoe and plowed up the fields in the yard. The Xia brothers, like Lu Shili, took on the responsibility of guarding.
Jiang Tangtang instantly felt that his sense of security had increased a lot.
The two families were crowded in the yard for three days. During these three days, Jiang Tangtang secretly entered the space every night to make dried flowers, raisins, wine, etc.
After staying up late at night, I come to catch up on my drowsiness during the day.
After the drowsiness was over, I took out the seeds collected from the space, pretended that I had found them while cleaning the house, and planted them all in the ground.
She had lived a very fulfilling life these days. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people at home jostling and making noise, and some discordant sounds coming from outside from time to time, she would have almost forgotten that she was hiding in trouble.
On the night of the third day, Lu Shiyan finally came back and brought good news. The pirates were gone and he could pack his things and prepare to return home.
"Did you drive him away?" Jiang Tangtang said excitedly.
Lu Shiyan smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? I only have a few people on my hands, how can I drive away the pirates."
Jiang Tangtang said, "Then how did they leave? Did they steal something and run away?"
He had a lot of stains on his body. The mud and sand are thick and green now. In just three days, he has lost a lot of weight...
It seems that he has been very tired these days.
If he wasn't killing the pirates, what would he be doing?
