Yang Dashan bowed to the head of the village and left with Su Yin's family.
On the way back, Father Su couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, are you planning to leave too?"
Yang Dashan nodded.
"But, my eldest brother said that the matter is not that serious." Father Su frowned, not knowing who to listen to.
Mother Su said, "I believe in my eldest brother's judgment. Let's go back and pack our things today and leave here as soon as possible."
"This, this..." Father Su hesitated, "I'm afraid my parents won't agree."
"I'll go talk to them."
After returning to the Su family, the uncle was about to show a bad face to the third brother's family. However, after seeing Yang Dashan, he restrained his temper, but still did not show a good face.
Old Man Su and Old Lady Su, who originally wanted to scold the third son's wife, kept it to themselves because of the appearance of Yang Dashan.
"Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, how are you both doing."
"Everything is fine." Old man Su responded with a smile and led people to the main room.
After Yang Dashan sat down, he went straight to the point, "I came here today for something. I heard that there might be chaos outside. Dongtu County borders Yuzhou, so I'm afraid it's not peaceful."
He said it politely, but his meaning was clear.
"I wonder what Mr. Su is planning?"
The smile on Old Man Su's face faded a little. "To be honest, my eldest brother has already inquired about it, and it's nothing serious. Although our land is also dry, there is still a glimmer of hope, and it's not the end of the road. If we leave rashly, we will lose everything. We can't abandon our home and career because of these unfounded rumors. When I die and go to the underworld, how can I explain to my ancestors?"
The meaning was very clear, they would not leave, and they believed the news brought by their son more.
Yang Dashan couldn't help but continue to persuade, "Mr. Su, have you ever heard a saying that it is better to believe it than not to believe it. If it is true, it will be too late to regret. I hope Mr. Su will consider it more."
Su Xiaoyi, the second son of the Su family, could not help but speak up, "You are too timid. My eldest brother got the news from the county magistrate's nephew. What is the status of the county magistrate? Isn't he more informed than you?"
Su Xiaoyong had a smug smile on his face. "Brother Dashan, don't believe everything you hear. You guys, just keep your mind at ease. It's no big deal."
Mother Su couldn't help but speak, "I believe my brother. Dad, Mom, let's leave."
"What are you talking about? Could it be that my wife is going to harm us?" Su Xiaoyong's wife, Mrs. Lu, said dissatisfiedly.
Second aunt-in-law Li has always been the one adding fuel to the fire, so how could she miss such an opportunity?
"Third sister-in-law, what you said, does your eldest brother think he is the kind of person who speaks nonsense? It's really disheartening to say that."
Su's mother quickly explained, "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Lu asked unhappily.
Yang Dashan looked at the expressions of the people in the hall, and his eyes fell on Su Laosan. Seeing that he lowered his head and dared not say a word, he held his breath in his heart, "Brother-in-law, what do you say?"
When his name was called, Su Xiaozhong, the father of the child, raised his head in a hurry and replied hesitantly, "I, I, I don't know either."
Disappointment flashed in Yang Dashan's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at Su Xiaoyong with a worried look on his face, "Su Tongsheng, can you tell me what the county magistrate's nephew said? It was really what the merchant said..."
Su Xiaoyong repeated what he had said at the headman's house with more exaggeration, which stunned everyone present.
"Did the county magistrate's nephew really say that?"
"Of course. If there really was something wrong, he would have run away long ago. How could he have the leisure to drink and sing with us?"
"If that's the case, then it seems to be a misunderstanding. Brother Su, I was too abrupt just now, please forgive me. Alas, it was really what the merchant said that day that was too shocking, and it made me feel uneasy."
"Brother Dashan, just relax." Su Xiaoyong said confidently.
"It would be best if I don't have to give up my family and career." Yang Dashan looked relieved.
Su's mother wanted to speak, but Su Yin stopped her and gave her a look.
Yang Dashan glanced at Su Yin, then turned to look at Old Man Su, "Father-in-law Su, Mother-in-law Su, I came here today for another matter. The day after tomorrow is our grandmother's memorial day, and I want to take my sister and her family back to stay for a few days."
Old Mrs. Su was unwilling to do so. If she went back, who would do the housework?
Old Mrs. Su looked at Su's mother, "Old Third, what do you say?"
It looked like a question, but the warning in his eyes spoke for itself.
Su's mother resisted the pressure and said, "When I was still a young woman, my grandmother treated me very well. On her death anniversary, I should bring my husband and children back to pay my respects to her."
She turned to look at her two sisters-in-law, "Thank you for taking care of my parents these days. I will be back in three days."
Both Su's mother and Su Yin knew very well that there would be no chance to come back after three days.
Old Mrs. Su wanted to say something, but Old Man Su spoke up, "Just take the children back and worship them properly. Your sister-in-law will take care of the family affairs, so don't worry."
After he opened his mouth, even if Old Mrs. Su was unwilling, she couldn't refute the old man's words.
The other two branches of the Su family were dissatisfied, but they didn't say much.
The two elders of the Su family politely asked Yang Dashan to stay for one night, but Yang Dashan refused.
"I'll go pack my things."
Old Lady Su ordered the wives of the eldest and second sons, "Help the third son's family clean up."
Su Yin and Su's mother both frowned. This was not about helping to clean up, but about being afraid that Su's mother would take things that she shouldn't take to support her parents' family. They wanted to keep an eye on them.
Mother Su wanted to say something but was stopped by Su Yin.
At this critical juncture, it is best not to make things complicated. Since they are visiting relatives, they cannot bring too many things, so even if they don't watch, they can't bring much.
"Mom, just bring a few useful ones." Su Yin gave her mother a hint.
She prepared a lot of things. It didn't matter if my mother didn't bring anything.
Su's mother didn't bring any spare clothes. When the sisters-in-law saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Under Su Yin's cover, Su's mother stuffed the most valuable things into the package.
Before leaving, Old Man Su told their family to take a chicken back with them. It was absolutely impossible for them to take anything else.
This chicken was bought for Yang Dashan's sake.
Before going out, Su Baozhu's eyes were filled with anxiety.
Su Yin walked up to her and said in a low voice, "Come out and we'll wait for you in Xinghua Village."
Su Baozhu nodded, stood at the gate of the courtyard reluctantly, and watched the family leave.
"Baozhu, what are you still doing? Hurry up and light the fire and cook." Old Mrs. Su's scolding voice came from the main room.
"I understand." He responded reluctantly and went back slowly.
On the way back to Xinghua Village, she happened to pass by the hill where her supplies were hidden, but Su Yin did not go up to get them because she was still unsure of one thing.
