Chapter 369: Dare to Touch the Horse's Butt
When the three kids saw Chen Yi leave the yard, they winked at Su Chunlin and asked him to close the gate and preferably bolt it.
Su Chunlin really did it.
Shen Yi had just removed the reins when he heard the sound of the bolt falling, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.
He jumped into the carriage and left decisively.
Just when I was halfway there, I heard a group of people talking.
Shen Yi stopped the carriage and shouted, "Wife?"
"It's Shen Yi! It's his voice!"
"That's great, woooooo."
A group of people came to the carriage, and Mrs. Zhang was helped out of the carriage, her legs weak and unable to stand, "Chen Yi, where are the three children?"
"Don't worry, Auntie. The children are all at my father-in-law's house. My father-in-law said that they can't walk at night, so he sent me back to report the news."
Everyone had been through this, so they immediately understood what Su Chunlin meant and were all speechless.
When Mrs. Zhang learned that the child was fine, she calmed down and angrily cursed, "You are getting more and more outrageous! You even dared to touch the horse's butt. I am so angry. Oh, I can't take it anymore! I have to teach you a lesson when I get home!"
"Mrs. Zhang, you say this every time Xiao Xi gets into trouble. When have you ever really hit her?"
"Stop talking and go back to the village. You're freezing to death."
Su Tai was carried to the carriage by Chen Yi. Her face was livid and she clenched her fists. You could tell how angry she was without even looking at her mouth.
The couple returned home.
Su Tai angrily yelled, "You troublesome things, old and young are all the same! You just listen to what my father says! You really left them there, those little bastards are so happy!"
Chen Yi put his arm around Su Tai's shoulders and walked into the house, signaling the two older ones to close the door. "Wife, I know you are angry. I was almost scared to death just now. You don't know that as soon as I arrived at my father-in-law's house, I found a cane and hit the child hard. The third child burst into tears.
Your mother is not going to do it anymore, and she has called the whole family to support the three children. She is so protective of them that I can't do anything. You said your father has given the order, what else can I do? I can't really go against your father!"
"I'm so angry, so angry." Su Tai was furious.
Shen Yuezhang and Shen Congrong, who had just entered and closed the door and walked into the backyard, looked at each other, then immediately slowed down and went back to their rooms.
At this time, they should not touch bad luck, so as not to bring trouble upon themselves.
Su Tai vented her anger and lay down on the bed tiredly.
Seeing her listless look, Shen Yi hurried forward and carried her to bed, "I have something happy to tell you. There is news about the sea you asked about yesterday."
"Hmm?" Su Tai suddenly became alert. "What do you mean?"
Chen Yi rubbed her cheek with amusement, "Qiongzi is very small, about the size of two prefectures in our Langya country. When Master Pu was young, he went there several times for business. He said that Qiongzi has a long coastline, and the main source of food for the people there is seafood, so they are not afraid of starving to death regardless of drought or flood.
There are often accidents when people go out to sea to fish, and some people die from eating poisonous seafood by mistake. This number is not small. They are all men, women, young and old. They are diligent and hardworking, but they are poor. "
"Ah? Don't they sell seafood?"
Su Tai asked a question that made Shen Yi laugh and cry.
He sighed softly, "It's not that simple! Who has the spare money to spend when everyone is poor and destitute? Besides, just because the people of Qiongzi can eat seafood doesn't mean that other people can too. The herdsmen on the ice field can't eat it. I heard that the people of Qiongzi wanted to exchange seafood for cattle and sheep, but the herdsmen refused.
After being humiliated by the herdsmen, how could they dare to risk sending goods all the way to our side? There are some merchants who want to go to Qiongzi to buy seafood.
But the ice field is bone-chillingly cold in the winter, and it is not suitable for business at all. You can go there in the summer, but the goods cannot be stored and most of them will go bad. Who would want to do business that loses money?"
"That's true!" Su Tai thought thoughtfully.
Shen Yi muttered again, "Some rich people are willing to pay a lot of money to hire people to buy seafood from Qiongzi, but the quantity is too small and the price is ridiculous. This is almost the way seafood sent to the imperial capital in the cold winter every year."
Su Tai's eyes lit up. "So seafood in winter is considered a luxury, right?"
Shen Yi nodded, “You can say that.”
Su Tai's lips curled up slightly, "This way I know where the seafood there comes from."
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows, “You can’t really get a bunch of seafood!”
Su Tai nodded wildly, "There are more than a pile, but there are too many people in the village, so it's hard to take the things out. You have to help me find another yard."
Shen Yi stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "This is easy. I am now the town official of Dahe Town, and I can use all the ownerless land over there.
We can buy a piece of wasteland or a yard outside the town, far away from the villa, to hide our tracks."
"It's best to stay close to the water." Su Tai reminded.
The couple was so focused on their business that they forgot about their three children who had gotten into trouble.
The next morning, Shen Yi went out with the money.
Su Tai had just gone to the next room to take a look at the Guokui when she heard Su Ming's shout.
When I came out, I saw three energetic little guys standing in a row at the door, not daring to breathe.
As soon as Su Tai took out the cane, Su Ming immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand in a flattering manner, and took the cane away from her, "Sister, Dad asked me to bring you a roasted whole lamb, come over quickly and give me a hand."
Su Tai: “Hmm?”
"Dad has made a fortune? Why would he send me a whole roasted lamb for no reason?" Su Tai said as she followed Su Ming to carry things to the carriage.
The three kids looked at each other, and Shen Xi was pushed away by Shen Congyu.
The twins also sneaked back to their room.
Su Tai had just brought the roasted whole lamb into the kitchen and talked to Su Ming for a while. When she turned around, she saw that her three children were gone. She was so angry that her face turned red again.
Su Ming advised bitterly: "Sister, don't be angry. Dad and Mom scolded them all night last night. They all know they are wrong."
Su Tai rolled her eyes, "Don't give me that! If they could really recite for a whole night, the three of them wouldn't be in this mental state! Let me guess, Dad must have fed them a lot of delicious food! Roasted whole lamb? Stewed chicken soup? Braised pork?"
The more Su Tai spoke, the lower Su Ming's head hung.
But she was so angry, "It's all your fault!"
Su Ming, who was scolded like a quail, was tired but did not dare to refute. Seeing that Su Tai wanted to continue scolding him, he quickly found an excuse to leave.
As soon as Su Ming left, Su Tai turned and went to the backyard. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she heard the sound of four children reading aloud from the house. She paused and quietly retreated.
Forget it, it's boring to protect one or two of them! She should wait for good news from Shen Yi, so that she can have a good meal.
It took until dark while we waited.
Shen Yi went home at dawn and heard as soon as he entered the door: "Did Ming send them back?"
Su Tai pointed towards the house and said, "I'm back. You've been so good for a day. You've been studying in the house all day and even said you'd help me with the chores. It's getting light, so I'm afraid you'll come back and beat them up. Go back to the house and sleep. I'll see if you show your true colors in a few days."
Shen Yi chuckled, "Then don't be nice to them these days, and scare them."
