Chapter 55: Feng Chatou takes the lead in seizing the Jun family
Jun Moye walked to You Chatou's position with a pot of wine, suppressed his emotions, and forced a smile.
"You Chatou, the weather is really getting colder. When I was packing my luggage just now, I found a pot of good wine, so I specially sent it to You Chatou."
When You Cha looked at Jun Mo, he remembered that he had just buried his father two days ago. To be able to start managing the Jun family so quickly, his character was indeed extraordinary!
"Young Master Jun is quick to recover."
Jun Moye smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"I promised my father to take good care of the Jun family."
You Chatou brought the wine, poured it into a wine gourd, and handed it to a bailiff.
"Brothers, each of you should have a drink."
Then he glanced at Jun Moye and walked towards Jun's house first.
The Jun family is still in chaos.
The person kneeling on the ground was still praying.
"Young Madam, please, please be kind and give the child a little. This is what you promised..."
"Yes, Madam, please, we are kneeling down to beg you..."
Even Feng Chatou came over.
"Su Hanchu, it's not a big deal for so many people to kneel here. What's more, you said it yourself at the beginning. Why don't you take out the food from your Jun family? Pay as much as you can first. If you can't pay, your Jun family will make up for it later."
Chen Siting spoke hurriedly.
"That's right, cousin, look how pitiful everyone is. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Cousin, please save them. Take out the edible things first to save their lives."
With Feng Chatou's words, several people stood up and looked at the Jun family's bag with eager eyes. They noticed that Su Hanchu had taken out various foods from it many times.
Seeing this, others also stood up, and some even took two steps forward.
Liu Shan and his son quickly stood in front of the sack, and Jun Moyan even ran to hug the sack. He knew that all the food for his family was in it, and he must not let others snatch it away.
Aunt Li and Aunt Qian also dragged themselves to their feet, looking ready to fight to the death.
Wei Furong and the people from the Su family also stood behind Su Hanchu. The daughter of the Su family would not allow herself to be bullied.
Jiang Like looked at the situation and walked behind Su Hanchu, showing that he stood on the side of the Jun family.
Seeing Jiang Like's attitude, the other people who were hired to carry the luggage looked at each other, and finally one of them walked to Jiang Like's side. Seeing this, the other two also followed and stood on the side of the Jun family.
Chuntao and the others who came in carrying firewood whispered to each other and chose to stand on the side of the Jun family.
A tense atmosphere filled the air. Many people began to roll up their sleeves, and some held weapons hidden on their bodies. Both sides looked at each other with hostility. The people from the Chen family were ready to rob things, and the people from the Jun family looked like they were ready for a big fight.
Suddenly there was a scolding.
"What's going on again?"
Then there was the sound of a whip hitting the ground, and You Chatou was seen holding the whip with a gloomy face.
When he saw Feng Chatou, he couldn't help but frown.
"Feng Chatou, what do you want to do?"
Upon hearing this, Captain Feng spoke in a cold voice.
"I didn't intend to do anything. It's just that everyone is asking Su Hanchu to fulfill her original promise. This was what Su Hanchu said herself, so it's reasonable to ask her to fulfill it now. Will You Chaser be biased just because he has received benefits from the Jun family many times?"
Upon hearing this, You Chatou frowned even more tightly. This Feng Chatou was becoming more and more tactless.
Su Hanchu forced a smile and spoke.
"Two officers, I did promise this, but my father's case has just been resolved, my mother-in-law has also passed away, and so many people from my Jun and Su families have been injured, so it is unrealistic to fulfill this promise immediately.
But now that I've said it, I'll certainly do it. I've already made plans. When we go to the next town to do some shopping, I'd like to ask you guys to help me find a butcher's stall and borrow your carriage to buy a pig. That way, we'll have enough meat for a meal."
Upon hearing this, You Cha Tou glanced at the person who was looking for trouble.
"There are still ten days until the time Su Hanchu promised. Since she said she would buy meat in the next town, you should stop making trouble. Instead of making trouble, you might as well think about how to survive. Disperse, otherwise I will not be polite with the whip in my hand."
After he finished speaking, the whip was slammed down on the feet of the Chen family members again, with a strong sense of warning.
Seeing this, some of the timid people had to retreat slowly, and the rest of the people had to retreat reluctantly little by little.
Feng Chatou spoke immediately.
"Yuchatou......"
You Chatou interrupted him directly.
"Captain Feng, as escorts, our most important task is to escort the exiles to the northwest. We have no right to interfere with other matters. I have a pot of good wine here. Let's drink it together to warm ourselves up."
Seeing this, Feng Chatou glanced at the Jun family and finally left with You Chatou.
After seeing everyone disperse, the Jun and Su families breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason was that both families were injured and they were afraid that their things would be stolen if a fight really broke out.
Su Hanchu looked at Jiang Like and the others.
"Everyone come and warm yourself by the fire. Nothing will happen. Even if something does happen, it won't be our Jun family's fault."
Everyone then came to the fire and warmed themselves by it.
Su Hanchu looked at Liu Shan and spoke.
"Let's get some more snow and boil some water. Then we can fill everyone's water bags with hot water. We can use the hot water to wash our hands later."
Liu Shan and Manager Liu both took basins out and brought in snow.
Su Hanchu looked at Jiang Like and the others.
"With what you just did, I'm afraid your family won't be able to return."
Jiang Like and the others looked dejected when they heard this.
It was Jiang Liheng who spoke up and broke the silence.
"If we can't go back, then we can't go back. What's the point of going back to a family like that? They all bully us and want to trample us to death. We haven't done anything wrong, they just want to dislike us."
Jiang Like came back to his senses when he heard this, and looked at the Jiang family in the distance. He had seen that there were people from the Jiang family among the people who came, but they were all pitiful people.
But no matter what, I just stood on the side of the Jun family, and the people who came here will definitely be dissatisfied. Well, my mother is no longer here, and there is nothing good to remember from the Jiang family.
"There's really nothing good to say. I was just distracted and didn't think as clearly as my brother."
The other few people thought of the grievances they had suffered in the family and also spoke up.
"If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Family is different for everyone. Some people enjoy the protection of their family, while others can only suffer injustice."
