"Don't worry," Zhang Rushan said seriously, "your brother is my brother."
Zhou Xiaohu asked Xie Wenwu for a handkerchief and wiped Chen Lin's face. "I'll make you something delicious when your cousin comes back."
Chen Lin cried and nodded.
Song Yuehua called the two men aside and took out the silver she had prepared, 10 taels for Xie Wenwu and 4 taels for Zhou Xiaohu, "This is the silver Guan Yingwu paid as compensation. We agreed at the time that I will pay it back in full after you leave him."
Xie Wenwu took the silver with a smile and said, "Does Guan Yingwu look like the boy who brings wealth?"
"A bit similar." Zhou Xiaohu said.
Song Yuehua, "..."
It’s better to have fewer boys like this who bring money.
After returning the silver to the two men, Song Yuehua stepped forward and whispered to Xie Feng, "Second Uncle, there might be bandits robbing us on the road, you must be careful."
"Okay." Xie Feng said, and added, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
The Zhou family sent Zhou Xiaohu to the oxcart. Lin kept telling Zhou Xiaohu to be careful. At the end, she couldn't help crying and said, "Xiaohu, you must come back alive!"
Zhou Dafu supported Lin and watched the ox cart going farther and farther away. Song Yuehua turned around and saw Zhou Lizheng walking out from behind a wall, looking in the direction the ox cart left.
No one felt like celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival this year.
Song Yuehua went to the mountains to search for a long time but couldn't find any mugwort. Everything was withered and yellow. She could only buy some realgar, soak it in wine, and sprinkle it in every corner of the house.
On the day of the festival, Shopkeeper Hua came to pick up Hua Baoer and said goodbye to Master Yi and Song Yuehua.
"I am very grateful to all the teachers for taking care of Bao'er during this period. My wife is going to take her back to her hometown for a while. Therefore, she can only temporarily suspend her studies. I hope that Master Yi and Miss Song will understand."
Sure enough, people in the county town also began to take action.
Song Yuehua asked, "Manager Hua, are all the big shots in the county leaving?"
Shopkeeper Hua smiled bitterly and said, "Not necessarily. As long as there is rain in the second half of the year, we can still be saved. I just don't dare to gamble with my wife and daughter. It won't be too late to bring them back when the drought is alleviated."
Hua Baoer originally thought that her father was going to take her back home to celebrate the holidays, but she didn't expect that she would never come back. She didn't want to leave, but the reality was before her, and she couldn't be petty, so she had to bargain with her father and get him to agree to let her take one more person with her.
Hua Baoer ran to Bai Shu and asked him, "My father asked me to go back to my hometown to avoid the disaster. Would you like to go with me?"
Bai Shu was stunned for a moment and said, "I can't leave my sister alone."
"Then bring your sister along as well."
Bai Shu smiled and said, "My sister will not leave Sister Song. Sister Song has a large family here. Things are not as simple as you think."
Hua Baoer was really anxious and cried. Hua Xiyu comforted her, "Miss, don't cry. Why don't you go ask Zhao Doudou? Maybe he will be willing to go with you?"
Hua Baoer was a little angry, "What do you mean if you don't like this one, then find that one? Can you just change it casually?"
"Didn't you like Zhao Doudou very much at the beginning..." Hua Xiyu murmured softly.
Hua Baoer glanced at Bai Shu, stomped her feet heavily, and walked away angrily, picking up her skirt.
