Chapter 103 I can go back home
"What's going on?" Su asked in panic, "Could it be that pirates have broken in?"
"No, it's just that some people are taking advantage of the chaos. Many businesses in the city have been robbed and are closed today."
Manager Xia said, "I originally came to the street with my sons to buy some food to take back, but I didn't expect to have a conflict with someone on the way, and the food was stolen."
Jiang Tangtang didn't quite understand their behavior. "Didn't you bring food with you yesterday? It should be enough to last us three to five days, not to mention the extra time!"
Manager Xia showed a hint of embarrassment on his face. "We have to plan for the future."
After all, Su grew up in a big mansion. When she saw Manager Xia's expression, she knew that they must have gone to seek refuge with Xia's aunt, and there must have been some rift between them.
She hurriedly pulled her daughter-in-law and said with a smile, "Manager Xia, we are just about to eat. Why don't you go to the room and have a quick meal first?"
Jiang Tangtang also reacted and invited Manager Xia and others to go back to the room for dinner.
A lot of dough was kneaded this morning, and a lot of meat stew was also prepared, so the Lu family had knife-cut noodles this morning.
Seeing that the Lu family had such a good breakfast, the Xia family father and son felt a little embarrassed.
After dinner, Xia Zhirong leaned over the wall to see what was happening outside. It wasn't until noon that Xia Zhirong came down from the wall and said, "Dad, I see soldiers patrolling outside. I think things are not so chaotic anymore. Let's go to my aunt's house first!"
Manager Xia nodded and thanked Jiang Tangtang, Su Shi and the others. "We are so grateful to you today. If it weren't for your help, my father and I would have been seriously injured, even if we didn't die."
Jiang Tangtang said modestly: "It's just a coincidence, please don't be polite to us."
As she spoke, she asked about the situation of Wang Lachun, Zhao Jia and others, and finally sincerely invited them again to come and live in her house.
After Manager Xia and his sons left the Lu family's house, Xia Zhirong couldn't help but say, "Aunt is worse than an outsider! She's been in the city for so long, and she only managed to have a full meal at the Lu family's."
Xia Zhihua nodded in agreement. "Dad, instead of being bullied at my aunt's house, it's better to trouble the Lu family. I think the Lu family is quite open-minded and worth getting to know."
Although the other two brothers didn't say anything, their expressions clearly showed that they agreed with what their two older brothers said.
Manager Xia pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go back and check the situation first!"
"Do we even need to see?" Xia Zhihua asked. "Last night, before we even settled in, my aunt kept complaining about not having enough food and the house being too small. And this morning, before daybreak, several of my cousins were banging and banging. Isn't this clearly trying to get us out?"
"If she sees that we don't bring any food back, my aunt will definitely not be happy with us," said Xia Zhirong.
It must be said that Xia Zhirong's guess was correct. After the Xia family father and son returned to the Huang family, they saw that they were empty-handed, and the Huang family members were not happy.
Aunt Xia didn't care about her relatives' face at all and started crying about being poor.
"Jia Niang, go pack your things, we're leaving now!" Xia Zhirong was so angry that he directly instructed his wife.
Wang Lachun couldn't help himself and cursed, "You ungrateful bastards! The Huang family was able to settle down in the city because we lent you thirty taels! In all these years, we haven't asked you for anything. Instead, we always send you our own free-range eggs and fresh vegetables from our fields. We didn't expect that we would be in trouble and come to you for help, and you would treat us like this!"
Aunt Xia immediately felt guilty, but Huang's mother jumped up and said, "You said it was a loan, not that we didn't pay you back. It's our own ability to settle down in the city. Besides, how much are your farm vegetables worth? But our return gifts are always cakes from the city, which are much more valuable than your radishes and vegetables."
Wang Lachun was so angry that she wanted to fight with Huang's mother, but Manager Xia grabbed her and said, "Forget it! Let's go! From now on, just pretend this marriage never happened."
As he spoke, he looked at Aunt Xia with disappointment and said, "Nianyun, our relationship as brother and sister ends here."
"Brother!" Seeing Manager Xia's expression, Xia Nianyun suddenly panicked.
Manager Xia didn't even look at her and left the Huang family with his family.
With soldiers patrolling the streets, security improved slightly. However, many shops were still closed. The Xia family arrived at the Lu family's house in a dusty ox cart.
Jiang Tangtang and Su Shi have already cleaned up the room.
If only the Lu family lived in this yard, it would be quite spacious, but with the addition of more than a dozen people from the Xia family, it suddenly became crowded.
"Aunt, there are not enough rooms at home, so I cleaned up two rooms. You can only squeeze in here. Please don't mind." Jiang Tangtang said with a smile as she led them to the room.
"You girl, we are very grateful that you can take our family in at this time. There is nothing to dislike about you." Wang Lachun said with red eyes.
"Then you guys take a break first!" Jiang Tangtang said.
There were no extra beds, so Jiang Tangtang had some wooden boards removed from the warehouse and given them to use as a bed.
Fortunately, Lu Shiyan brought back some charcoal yesterday. With the help of the charcoal for warmth, he could get through the night without a quilt.
Otherwise, with so many people, I really don’t know how to arrange them.
Although Jiang Tangtang is in some trouble, the Xia family now treats them more like family members than themselves.
The two daughters-in-law of the Xia family rushed to work. Seeing that they were not needed to help with cooking in the kitchen, they took up hoes and went to plow the several plots of land in the yard. The Xia brothers, like Lu Shili, took on the responsibility of guarding the yard.
Jiang Tangtang instantly felt much more secure.
The two families squeezed in the yard for three days. During these three days, Jiang Tangtang secretly entered the space every night to make dried flowers, raisins, wine, etc.
After staying up late at night, I take a nap during the day.
After catching up on his sleep, he took out the seeds he had collected from the space, pretended that he had found them while tidying up the house, and planted them all in the ground.
She had a very fulfilling life these past few days. If it weren't for the crowds of people at home, and the occasional discordant noises outside, she would have almost forgotten that she was hiding.
On the third night, Lu Shiyan finally came back and brought back good news: the pirates had left and they could pack up and prepare to return home.
"Did you drive them away?" Jiang Tangtang asked excitedly.
Lu Shiyan smiled and said, "What are you thinking? I only have a few people, how can I drive away the pirates?"
Jiang Tangtang asked, "Then how did they leave? Did they just steal something and run away?"
He was covered in mud and sand, and his eyes were covered in dark bruises. In just three days, he had lost a lot of weight...
It seems that he has been very tired these days.
If he wasn't dealing with pirates, what would he be doing?
