Chapter 31 Su Family Mother and Daughter
If you make sense of Li, the relocation can be officially put on the agenda.
The three of them discussed briefly along this topic and finally decided to move to another place.
The reason Ye Jinkui gave was, "There are many beasts in the deep mountains and old forests nearby, and it is too dangerous to live in, and it is not convenient to buy things."
Although Li didn't say anything, she was thinking about Ye Anlan's marriage.
Ye Anlan is no longer young. At most, in four or five years, she will have to arrange for Ye Anlan to get married. If her family moves to the mountains and forests, where will she go to choose an excellent and reliable husband for Ye Anlan in the future?
Ye Anlan can do both. For her, it is not easy to go to the mountains to deal with beasts, snakes and insects, and to other places to deal with malicious people.
Zheng Fengshou and Ye Song were also called over, and the family made a rough division of tasks. However, before they could really get into the preparations, a major event happened to the Su family.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Old Lady Su was snatched by her eldest daughter-in-law's sarcastic anger, and she swallowed her last breath.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, as soon as the coffin of Mrs. Su Su was carried up the mountain, Su Xiaohe and her daughter were driven out by her uncles.
The mother and daughter were penniless and could only ask elders of the same clan to help with justice. However, no one of the old men in the Su family was willing to help Su Xiaohe and his daughter fight for benefits.
In their opinion, Su Xiaohe was just a girl and was not qualified to distribute the Su family's property.
As for Aunt Su, a widowed and childless daughter-in-law has no human rights.
Aunt Su's tears were almost dry, and Su Xiaohe's uncle and aunt also watched coldly and kept them out of the door.
The mother and daughter were desperate, which made Li particularly worried. After soliciting opinions from Ye Jinkui and Ye Anlan, she lent her house to Su Xiaohe and his daughter, and then gave the mother and daughter firewood, grain, oil and salt, quilts, pots and pans and other daily necessities to the mother and daughter.
"Yuanniang, thank you. If it weren't for your family, my mother and I wouldn't know how many days would we live." Li comforted Aunt Su in the room, while Su Xiaohe pulled Ye Anlan with tears in his eyes, "Don't worry, my mother and I will definitely not be in vain for food and living, we..."
Ye Anlan patted Su Xiaohe, "Not mentioning these things for now. What are your family affairs, do you and your mother plan to just let it go?"
Su Xiaohe looked depressed, "My mother said that she just treated it as a way to look at my breasts' face. She didn't want people to make people laugh at her for not teaching her good descendants when my breasts were not cold."
Ye Anlan nodded, "Then you can live in my house with peace of mind first. After the first month of the year, I will ask my parents to pass the house to your name and your mother."
Su Xiaohe felt that she was having a hallucination, and she stared at Ye Anlan blankly, "Yuanniang, it seems that something is wrong with my ear."
Ye Anlan:...
Ye Anlan coughed lightly, "You heard it right. I did say that I would pass the house to your name and your mother. My parents and I have decided to move to other places. After the first month of the year, the weather will be a little warmer and we will leave Xiaohezhuang."
Su Xiaohe was stunned, "Why, why? Haven't you just built a new house?"
"Because of refugees, bandits, and riots." Ye Anlan briefly told Su Xiaohe about his considerations, "... Think about your two uncles. If they were not captured by the riots, you and your mother would not be forced to leave the house in vain."
Su Xiaohe pursed her lips hard, "Then won't you come back in the future?"
"It should be." After all, it was just a small mountain village I lived in for a short time, and Ye Anlan was not nostalgic. Moreover, this was in ancient times, and transportation was inconvenient. Once you walked away, it would be extremely difficult to come back.
Su Xiaohe held Ye Anlan's hand and tried hard. After a moment of silence, she plucked up the courage to ask Ye Anlan, "Yuanniang, can you take me and my mother with you? We don't know how to eat, I can do any work, I can also practice martial arts with you and fight bad people with you."
Ye Anlan frowned, "We don't have a clear destination, and we will definitely meet all kinds of bad people and all kinds of dangers on the way. I can't even guarantee that you and your mother can reach the destination alive."
Su Xiaohe smiled bitterly, "Even if that's the case, I want to leave with you. In these ten miles and eight villages, no one is willing to help me and my mother except your family. And you also said that Xiaohezhuang is very dangerous and the villagers are not united."
Su Xiaohe felt that if she and her mother might die with Ye Anlan, she and her mother might die faster if she didn't follow Ye Anlan.
Ye Anlan did not agree directly, and she said to Su Xiaohe: "You might as well discuss it with your mother first."
What she didn't know was that after Aunt Su heard Li talk about this, she had already thought of leaving with them.
The mother and daughter had a surprisingly consistent idea. In their opinion, their relatives were better than none. Instead of relying on them, it was better to rely on the only Ye family who had extended a helping hand to them.
The mother and daughter agreed and gave Ye Anlan a positive reply early the next morning.
Ye Anlan had already solicited opinions from Ye Jinkui and Li last night, but neither of them opposed it, so Ye Anlan also agreed to the Su family's mother and daughter.
The Su family's mother and daughter cried with joy. The two of them no longer lived at the foot of the mountain. They took the initiative to move to another cave and helped the Ye family prepare what they wanted to take away every day.
Li's eyes were not very good, Ye Anlan did not do needlework, so the mother and daughter of the Su family took the initiative to take care of all the needlework, and sat in front of the cave every day to sew cotton clothes, sturdy thousand-layer cloth shoes, fried rice, fried noodles, jerky meat, dried vegetables, and medicine cloth pockets...
After sewing, the mother and daughter went to help Li organize the food, clothes, straw mats, bedding, cooking utensils, tableware and other items they wanted to take away.
As for the others.
Ye Wei is responsible for taking care of her younger sister Ye Tang, Ye Song is responsible for paying attention to the movements at the foot of the mountain and protecting several female relatives at home. Zheng Fengshou and Ye Jinkui are responsible for following Ye Anlan out for wandering.
The tasks of the three of them are both dangerous and heavy, because they have to find ways to seize food from the tiger's mouth and get money, food, medicine and weapons under the noses of the silences of the soldiers, and find ways to inquire about the news and set the direction and destination of the migration. At the same time, they have to take a break from their busy schedule to improve their combat effectiveness and their companions.
After being so busy for half a month, Ye Anlan took the risk to enter the county town and got back the thirty boxes of scar removal cream she and the doctor had booked.
After paying the remaining thirty taels, he bought another set of silver needles, a bunch of pills and medicinal materials that he might use during the migration. Then Ye Anlan took the empty wallet and climbed over the wall to get out of the city while the night was shining.
She carried a small backpack full of medicines and walked home on the moonlight. The empty field was silent, and she was the only one walking on the bumpy official road alone.
No one watched, Ye Anlan couldn't help but let herself go. She hummed an untuned song and walked away for about an hour. She left her whole body with her blood boiling, and she was inexplicably happy.
