The two of them nodded continuously.
"Daya is lucky to have met your father. Otherwise, this child would have suffered a lot." Uncle Yang Dahe sighed.
Yang Tu nodded in agreement, and then asked impatiently: "What about the other people in Xinghua Village? How are they doing now?"
Regarding this question, Su Yin shook her head helplessly and replied: "Daya was sold a long time ago. As for the current situation of Xinghua Village, she actually doesn't know. Before she left, the days in Xinghua Village were indeed a bit difficult, but fortunately everyone is safe and there are no casualties."
Hearing this, Yang Tu and Yang Dahe smiled with relief. After all, they all came from the same village, and many of them were related to each other, whether distant or close, so they hoped that everyone would be safe and sound.
However, Su Yin glanced at the two of them imperceptibly and sighed secretly in her heart.
She didn't dare reveal even a single detail about the dangerous situation in Xinghua Village, for reasons that she couldn't, couldn't, and couldn't tell.
This secret may remain buried forever, and they may never know it.
"Uncle, Uncle Yang Hu, it seems like someone is following us." Su Yin reminded in a low voice.
When Uncle Yang Hu heard this, he almost instinctively wanted to look back, but his arm was tightly held by a small hand.
"Don't look back!" Su Yin hurriedly whispered, "Keep walking forward like usual. We must not let them know that we have noticed something unusual."
Although Yang Dahe and Yang the Butcher were nervous, they still tried to remain calm, walked slowly forward without changing their pace. However, their facial expressions had lost their previous naturalness and looked a little stiff and uncomfortable.
"Who is following us?" Butcher Yang frowned.
"Baishantang." Su Yin uttered these three words calmly.
When Yang Dahe and Yang the Butcher heard these three words, their eyebrows jumped violently.
"Isn't your father the second manager of Baishan Hall? Why is there someone following us?" Yang Dahe was puzzled.
Su Yin seemed to have anticipated this and responded calmly, "My father has just taken over this position and I'm afraid he hasn't even warmed up to the seat yet. It's normal for those people to be dissatisfied or to pretend to obey."
If Dad could subdue those unruly men in such a short time, it would be incredible. After all, when power changes, there will always be some open and covert struggles and conflicts of interest.
"What should we do?" Butcher Yang was very worried.
Judging from the situation, Baishantang will not let them go easily.
"It's okay, we will proceed as usual. However, we should not meet with other people for the time being, so as not to cause other troubles. Let's wait for my father to deal with them. I believe it won't take long."
Since he was able to climb to this position in such a short time, her father is a little unusual.
"Is he really okay?" Butcher Yang was still worried.
"It should be possible." Su Yin still had a little confidence in his father.
The three of them strolled along the busy streets, secretly planning their next trip. The shops in West City were full of dazzling goods, but the high prices kept them away.
After all, these goods were far beyond their affordability. So, they walked towards the South City without hesitation, where the prices were much cheaper than those in the West City.
As they walked along the road, when they passed by a grain and oil shop, the three men almost instinctively stepped into it and asked the clerk about the current price of grain.
After hearing the waiter's answer, they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.
What surprised them was not that the grain prices in Linzhou Prefecture were too high, on the contrary, the grain prices here were low!
Compared with the several counties they passed through, it was a world of difference.
"It is said that the Jiangnan region is rich in products and has abundant food. After seeing it today, I find that it is indeed worthy of its reputation!" Yang Dahe couldn't help but sigh.
Butcher Yang then said, "Alas, I regret it a little. If I had known this would happen, I would not have bought so much in Zhaohe County that day."
Su Yin on the side did not show any regret at all. Food is a necessity of life, and it is better to have more than to have a shortage.
If there is a lack of food, it will be fatal.
Baishan Hall
Wang Erma called the brothers in the hall over, put one foot on the stool, and said to them excitedly: "Second Manager said that we have all worked hard these past few days. We can work hard for two more days and then we can relax."
"The second shopkeeper also said that after days of sleeping in the open air, we can't let the brothers eat those coarse food when we return to the hall today. Today, the second shopkeeper specially ordered a banquet from Wanhualou to be delivered to us."
Upon hearing this, the minions below started shouting excitedly.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "The second shopkeeper is mighty."
Others followed suit after hearing this. For a moment, the hall was filled with shouts and flattery.
Wang Erma waited for a while, and after the voice became quieter, he continued, "Second Shopkeeper cares about us and treats us as brothers, that's why he does this. If any of you pretends to obey but actually disobeys, I will be the first one to not forgive him."
Others echoed and expressed their loyalty one after another.
Wang Erma saw that the situation was almost ready, so he asked the brothers below to take a seat.
He pointed at a few minions and said, "You will be on duty today. The next time the second shopkeeper invites guests, it will be your turn."
The few minions who were named were unhappy, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Several people walked to the hall entrance to guard it, while others were responsible for guarding the slaves.
"Everyone is in the hall now. Who dares to come to our Baishan Hall to cause trouble?"
"Oh, stop complaining. It's our bad luck."
"Our second shopkeeper is really careful. The second shopkeepers in the past would not be like this."
"Hush, don't say that. If Wang Erma finds out, you'll be in big trouble."
"Humph, that kid used to be the same as us. Ever since he attached himself to the second shopkeeper, he's been bossing people around and really thinks he's some big shot." The minion muttered in dissatisfaction.
Seeing that the person opposite ignored him, the minion suddenly felt bored and shut up.
In the front hall, Wang Erma was the center of attention. Everyone was praising him until he was on cloud nine. People came one after another to persuade him to drink, pouring cup after cup of wine into his stomach. Even someone with a good alcohol tolerance could not withstand this.
Soon Wang Erma was carried into the side room. He lay on the bed, muttering to himself.
"Drink, keep drinking."
The excitement in the front hall continued, with the sounds of finger-guessing games and toasts going on endlessly; in a corner of the backyard, a figure was sneaking into Wang Erma's house quietly.
