Chapter 54 The Su Family Head is in our hands
While the Su family was still discussing whether to keep a few eggs to hatch chicks and how many new fabrics to make small clothes for the babies, Fengyun City was shaken again.
Duan Dao went to the city and did not rob anyone, but the shop owners gave him as much as he wanted. He put Yin Yue Dao on the counter and no one dared to bargain.
Bai Yuan was one of those who didn't dare to bargain.
That's frustrating.
"Master, Broken Knife really protected the Su family!" The candlelight in the Bai Mansion's hall was bright. Bai Yuan stood in front of the master of the family. He didn't mention how neatly he gave the things. It was embarrassing. "What kind of background does this Su family have? They can even take over Broken Knife!"
Bai Kui, the Golden Sword, sat on a pineapple wood carved armchair, holding a three or four-year-old boy in his arms, as carefully as if he were holding his eyeballs, but his words were rough and unrestrained, "A bag of rice and flour makes your face dry, how can you do anything big? Next time Duan Dao comes, I will give him whatever he wants."
"Do you still want to recruit him?"
"There aren't many people in Fengyun City who can scare people to death. Each one of them is a rare talent. If I don't fight for him, what if someone else snatches him away? In the end, I'll be the one who loses, right?" Bai Kui said with a sidelong glance, "Whether he's willing to come or not, this little favor will eventually build some goodwill over time. Even if he doesn't work for me in the end, he won't openly oppose me. This way, it's a good deal. If I don't give him, I'll lose a lot. Duan Dao's identity and origin are unknown, and his temper is unpredictable. Banba Yinyue Yin is a master of Fengyun City. We shouldn't make enemies with him no matter what."
Bai Yuan lowered his head and replied, "I understand. Should we take care of the Su family? I have a feeling that they are not as simple as they seem. First, Huo Ziheng was willing to enter Fengyun City for them, and now there is Duan Dao running errands for them..."
Bai Kuihu narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "Go ahead and do it."
"yes!"
After Bai Yuan left, Bai Kui looked down at the little ancestor in his arms and teased him, "Daddy's good son! Did you have fun today? You like to smash silver. Tomorrow, dad will open the warehouse and you can smash the treasures inside! Hahaha!"
The little boy yawned and said listlessly, "It's not fun anymore. I'm tired of it. Tomorrow I won't throw money, I'll throw people."
"Alright! Daddy, pull out all the servants from the mansion and have them line up for you to smash!"
"I'm going to smash it in the streets!"
"Great! As expected of my son, he's been domineering since he was young!"
The servants in the hall lowered their heads and no one dared to speak.
In addition to the Bai Mansion, Wangque Tower and Wanjiazhuang also received the news.
Reactions varied.
Wang Que Tower watched the changes quietly but nothing happened.
Wanfu in Wanjiazhuang was as irritable as an ant on hot pan.
"No wonder he changed his mind at the last minute. It turns out he was bewitched by the Su family! How weird!" Wanfu walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. He was so irritated that he even found the crackling sound of the burning candle unpleasant.
Master Wan Liu's expression was filled with surprise and deep thought. "Even Du Buqin has fallen prey to the Su family. It seems our earlier assessment was correct. The person hiding behind this is beyond our control. Unfortunately, we've sent several groups to follow him, but no one has yet seen his true face... But I've always felt that the little kid from the Su family is a little strange."
Wanfu was unconcerned. "It's just a few months old, how could it be worth our concern? Uncle Six, don't worry too much. The most important thing is the person behind this. Now that Tubei Mountain has opened up wasteland one after another, those scoundrels, relying on the support of others, have become emboldened and are slapping us in the face without hesitation! If this matter can't be resolved, how will we report it to the gang leader?"
Wan Liuye pondered, his eyes flashing, "Since we can't get rid of him, then we'll find a way to recruit him for our own use!"
"This isn't an easy task. We at Pier Twelve are definitely not the only ones eyeing the Su family and trying to win them over. Plus, there was already a rift, so I'm afraid the Su family won't be willing to get close to us."
"Have you forgotten? The head of the Su family is in our hands."
Wanfu was reminded and clapped his hands excitedly, "Yeah, how could I have forgotten about this! Su Liang is now a tenant farmer of my Wanjia Village! Give him a small profit and let him persuade Su Xiang's family. Su Xiang will definitely think it over carefully!"
Wanjiazhuang has countless fertile fields and thousands of tenant farmers.
On weekdays, the tenant farmers lived at the foot of Tu Nan Mountain, less than five miles away from Wanjia Village, next to the Wan family's fields.
Because there were so many tenant farmers gathered in a large area, the foot of Tu'nan Mountain became a famous tenant farming village, also known as Tu'nan Village.
Under the bright moonlight on a summer night, the low sheds of Tunan Village are lined up one after another, hidden in the night and silent, with only the intermittent chirping of insects around.
The air of death here is thicker than anywhere else.
…
The moon sets and the sun rises.
A new day has begun in Tubeishan.
Farmers are used to getting up early to work. Even if there is nothing to do, they will get up early according to their schedule.
Walking out of the main room, the men were washing and chatting in the yard, the children were playing around the yard, and the women took a stool to sit in the shade after breakfast, holding the newly obtained cloth and whispering about how to cut clothes.
Everyone does their own thing, but there is peace and warmth everywhere.
"Ah, yeah, wah... wah, wah, play..." The baby's soft and tender voice was mixed in, and he tried hard to pronounce the words, which would cause a burst of laughter every time.
Tianbao was not discouraged at all. He thought that his mouth was idle anyway and he would learn it slowly.
She wore her brothers' old clothes and used her hands and feet to crawl from one end of the yard to the other. This was a game she played every day since she could crawl. No one could help her.
"Our sweet baby wants to learn to talk. She is a clever little girl who does whatever she wants. It's not the right time yet." Old lady Su followed the little baby closely, waiting to pick up her granddaughter when she got tired of playing.
Old Man Su said cheerfully, "The little girl is anxious, hahaha!"
When he said that, the old woman became unhappy again, "When Tianbao can talk, don't compete with me to take care of him!"
Tianbao turned around and yelled to her grandfather, "Big, big, buddy!"
Old Man Su immediately understood that his granddaughter had come to his rescue. Under the golden light of the morning sun, the old man smiled with wrinkles on his face, "Take care of the baby! Grandpa will take care of the baby! Old lady, see, our sweet baby really wants Grandpa to take care of the baby!"
When everyone was having fun, there was a knock on the gate again.
Old Mrs. Su smiled and went to open the door. It was still early in the morning, and most of the people knocking on the door at this time lived nearby.
The door opened and a strange face appeared before my eyes.
I don't know him, I've never seen him before. Old Lady Su was stunned for a moment, subconsciously closing the crack in the door a little, and looked at him suspiciously through the crack, "Who are you? What's the matter?"
The man was dressed in cloth, about fifty years old, and not dressed well. But when he stood at the door of the Su family, he gave people a feeling of being looked down upon.
Hearing the question, the other party frowned, then smiled and said in a gentle voice, "Is this the Su Xiang Su family from Dahuai Village?"
Even so, Old Lady Su could still see the arrogance hidden in the other person's eyes.
She spoke again without further ceremony, "I'm asking who you are! You don't even know the etiquette of saying your name when you visit someone's house? Even people who come to Pier 12 to cause trouble and vandalism should announce where they're from first!"
In the yard, "..."
Mom, there’s no need to talk about this.
