Chapter 107: Finding a Place
"After all, we have come to this country, and there are quite a few of us Su family members. It would be inconvenient to live together. We might as well live our own lives in the future, but we will still celebrate the holidays together."
Then he lowered his voice again.
"Your second aunt is a scheming and calculating person. Let's just take this opportunity to separate."
Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu immediately understood that his third aunt was okay, but this second aunt was not an easy person to deal with.
"That's fine."
After having dinner at the Su family, it was already dark and they hurried to go back. Wei Furong knew that they missed home and didn't want to keep them any longer, so she gave them a lot of firewood she had picked up at home and also gave them lanterns.
Su Han hugged Wei Furong reluctantly before getting on the carriage to go home.
The following days were all busy. Su Hanchu talked to He Fang next door and asked Chuntao and other women to stay at He Fang's house while they built a house first.
There are many people in the Jun family who can work, but in order to build the house faster, Su Hanchu invited Zhou's uncle to bring more than 20 workers to help the Jun family build the house.
Because the Jun family was in a difficult situation and couldn't cook for the workers, Su Hanchu paid them according to the town's price, asked everyone to eat at home in the morning, have their family members deliver food at noon, and then go back to eat in the evening. Uncle Liu brought Jiang Like and others to help build the house.
Jun Moye and Su Hanchu took the Chuntao sisters up the mountain to chop firewood and see if they could hunt some game.
Manager Liu, Aunt Li and Ping'er cooked at home and looked after the children.
As the eldest child, Jiang Liheng played with a group of younger brothers and sisters.
Everything seems to be in order.
But life is never smooth sailing. On this day, Su Hanchu and Jun Moye caught two pheasants with a trap. Su Hanchu happily prepared to take them home and raise them.
Jun Moye was carrying firewood, Su Hanchu was carrying a chicken, and the Chuntao sisters were also carrying firewood and following behind them. Su Hanchu had a smile on his face, thinking that if they could store firewood for a few more days, he could take everyone to the fields to take care of the land.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt something was wrong. The children all looked unhappy, and there were some scratches on their faces. Could it be that the children had a fight? Su Hanchu looked at them and spoke seriously.
"What's wrong with you?"
A group of children looked at Su Hanchu and lowered their heads again.
Su Hanchu looked at the children who all looked aggrieved. There was even a slap mark on Jiang Liheng's face, but it didn't feel like a fight between family members.
"What's going on, Jiang Liheng? Tell me. I want to hear the truth."
Jiang Liheng looked at Su Hanchu and spoke with some envy.
"Young Madam, we went to our fields today. I thought we had nothing to do, so I took my brothers and sisters to pick up the stones from the fields. Then a lot of children from the village came and said we were criminals who were going to be beheaded. They also said we had robbed the village's land. Although we were angry, we couldn't refute it. After all, we were indeed exiled.
But when they saw we didn't refute them, they picked up stones and threw them at us. Master Mo Yan was hit on the head, and I... got carried away and started fighting with those kids."
Su Hanchu couldn't help but frown when he heard that.
"So you lost the fight?"
Jun Moyan spoke angrily.
"No, sister-in-law, we didn't lose. But later a few adults came and said that we, the exiles, dared to bully the children of this village. So they surrounded us and stopped us from fighting..."
After hearing this, Su Hanchu finally understood the whole story.
"Do you know where these people you're fighting with live?"
Several children shook their heads.
Jiang Liheng spoke.
"Young Madam, we are not very familiar with the village. We only came to our dry land today. Everyone is busy, and we also want to help. We didn't expect someone to reject us so much."
At this time, Aunt Li, who had finished cleaning up the kitchen, walked out and took the initiative to say hello.
"Young Madam."
Su Hanchu nodded slightly.
"Call Sister Chuntao and take the children with you, and let's go to the headman's house."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Li looked at the children and spoke timidly.
"Young Madam, it's because of the children. It's just a fight between children. Why don't we just forget it? After all, we just got here."
Su Hanchu's face turned slightly cold when he heard this.
"Mrs. Li, if this was just a fight between children and they lost, it would be because they are incompetent. However, this matter has adults involved, and the nature of the matter is different. If we don't ask for an explanation for what happened today, it will be said that the adults in our Jun family are cowardly and incompetent, unable to even protect their own children."
After Jun Moye understood the situation, he naturally followed whatever his wife said.
"Mrs. Li, my mother and father are gone, and Mrs. Qian also passed away on the way. Now you are the only elder in the Jun family. You should protect the children instead of trying to tolerate everything.
Throughout this journey, the Young Madam and I have never let you be bullied and endure it. If we are not around in the future and something similar happens again, as the elder, you must show your strength and protect your own children."
Then he looked at the children.
"You don't know where their homes are, but you must know the people who beat you."
Jiang Liheng spoke upon hearing this.
"Yes, we remember those people who stopped us."
Jun Moye spoke in a deep voice after hearing this.
"Let's go to the village head's house. We'll vent your anger, but we'll only hit adults. The next time you have a fight with the village kids, you'll have to find a place to fight."
The children's eyes lit up when they heard this. Sure enough, the young master and the young lady would avenge them.
Jun Moye and Su Hanchu brought a few children to the headman's house.
The headman and his family are warming themselves by the fire.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
"Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, have you rested? I'm Su Hanchu, and I have something urgent to talk to you about."
Aunt Zhao opened the yard door.
"Hey, young lady from the Jun family, why are you here?"
Suddenly I saw a few children behind them.
Naturally, he also saw the scratches and slap marks on the children's faces and spoke in surprise.
"What's wrong with these kids?"
Su Hanchu spoke upon hearing this.
"Aunt Zhao, Uncle Zhao hasn't rested yet, right? We are here for the children's matter. Our experts need Uncle Zhao to administer justice for today's incident."
The village head, who heard the sound, also walked out of the house.
"What happened? Why do you have to come to me so late to seek justice?"
Su Hanchu looked at the village head and told him the general situation.
"Uncle Zhao, I need you to gather everyone in the village and ask the adults who assaulted my child to apologize to him."
