August.
There are very few shops open in the county, and many refugees would go in and smash the shops when they see them open. In this situation, no one wants to take the risk.
Song Yuehua rented out the You Mansion to Erguotou, Ji Ming and others for 300 wen a month. She didn't do it for the sake of making money, but just to find someone to help her look after the house.
I heard that Ji Ming also placed Tangyuan and Grandma Mu in there.
Ever since Li Dayan was released, he didn't say anything when he saw Grandma Mu was able to earn money for her medicine and food. However, in his opinion, Tangyuan was just a freeloader and he disliked him all day long. At the beginning, Li Dayan didn't say anything because Grandma Mu was protecting him.
But when the price of grain continued to rise and Gouwazi stopped going to the next county to do business, Grandma Mu could hardly make enough money to buy medicine. In a fit of rage, Li Dayan beat Tangyuan and threw him outside.
Grandma Mu pushed the wheelchair and searched all night long, and shouted all night long before she found the unconscious Tangyuan in the ditch. She wanted to save him, but the wheelchair slipped and she fell in.
It was Gouwazi who came to look for Tangyuan and heard from a drunk woman nearby that the grandmother and granddaughter had been beaten and had not returned home all night. Only then did he realize that something bad had happened.
After searching for a long time nearby, they finally found the grandparents and grandchildren in a ditch. After sending them to the clinic, Gouwazi immediately went to find Erguotou.
Ji Ming and Zhang Rushan were here discussing the grain storage issue with Erguotou.
The blacksmith shop is no longer safe. If a few more refugees come to the shop, the food hidden here will definitely be discovered.
The only solution now is to move the food and hide it somewhere else as soon as possible.
At this moment, Gouwazi came hurriedly and told them about Grandma Mu and Tangyuan.
"I'm going to chop Li Dayan tonight!" Erguotou was very angry and grabbed a kitchen knife to seek justice for Tangyuan.
Zhang Rushan quickly stopped the man and said, "Don't be impulsive. There are hundreds of ways to seek justice. Why do you have to choose an approach that will hurt both sides?"
"Do you want to report to the police?" Erguotou asked with a frown.
Zhang Rushan: “…” That’s not the case.
"Ah, there is a way!" Ji Ming suddenly laughed, "Kill three birds with one stone!"
It was on this night that Ji Ming ran to the Song family and asked Song Yuehua to rent the You Mansion. The two haggled for an hour or so, and finally Song Yuehua was so annoyed that she rented it to him for 300 Wen.
After Tangyuan and Grandma Mu's conditions improved, they moved into the You Mansion.
Grandma Mu was afraid that Li Dayan would find out and cause trouble for the children, so she refused to stay. It was Ji Ming who asked her to help look after the yard and clean up for the children on weekdays, and her wages would be used as rent.
"As for Li Dayan, as long as you don't go out, he won't come looking for you."
When she heard the last sentence, Grandma Mu fell silent. She knew what kind of person her son was.
"My medicine is still at home..."
Grandma Mu wanted to go home to get medicine, but Tang Yuan said, "Grandma, I have bought you medicine for two years. I originally kept it in the blacksmith shop, but now I have brought it all over. Don't worry about not having medicine to take."
"Two years of medicine, how expensive is that!" Grandma Mu was surprised, but Tang Yuan just smiled and said, "It's not expensive, as long as Grandma is healthy."
Grandma Mu lowered her eyes, feeling a little sore in her nose.
After renting the You Mansion, Erguotou and Gouwazi stayed there on weekdays. Wei Da returned to the village, and Song Yuehua asked him to practice martial arts with Duan Yidao.
When Taoyuan Village built a wall, the headmen of nearby villages came to see it. Although they were envious, they did not dare to think of building one in their own village.
Wang Lizheng of Hongye Village discussed with Zhou Lizheng, "Our villages are close to each other. If something happens, can Brother Zhou let the people in our village take shelter as well?"
Zhou Lizheng glanced at him and said, "The villagers paid for the wall and put in the effort. Ask them if they agree. If they have no objection, then I have no objection."
“The villagers…”
Li Zheng Wang was halfway through his speech when he saw that Li Zheng Zhou's face was not right, so he immediately shut up. It would not be good for their village if they pissed him off now.
Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away, and Song Yuehua has no plans to make mooncakes again. It is no longer the time for that.
When Xie Quan drove the ox cart over, he was shocked to see the high wall and gate built at the entrance of the village. He came here not only to take Xie Yu home for the festival, he also didn't plan to let Xie Yu come over in the following days.
It's getting more and more chaotic outside, and it's not safe to stay here.
After learning about Xie Quan's plan, Xie Yu refused and said, "Father, you should go back. The students are still in class. It is unreasonable for a teacher to run away first."
"The situation will be unstable in the future. It's a time like this, so why bother attending classes?" Xie Quan said.
Xie Yu said seriously, "Father, I am a teacher and I must lead by example."
Seeing that Xie Yu was not convinced, Xie Quan simply asked Song Yuehua when she planned to stop classes.
"What's the point of suspending classes?" Song Yuehua asked back.
Xie Quan was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he said, "There are riots everywhere outside, how can you have classes here in peace?"
"If I don't have classes here, there won't be rioters outside?" Song Yuehua said.
Xie Quan: "..." If I had known earlier, I should have called the third brother. There is no way he could have won an argument with them.
Song Yuehua knew Xie Quan's worries. "I understand what Uncle Xie Quan means, but the village is still safe now. We have to live our lives and go to school. As for whether Xiaoyu wants to leave or not, I will not interfere. If she wants to leave, she can leave. If she doesn't want to leave, the village will protect her."
Xie Yu knew that his father was worried, so he took people to Dongshan to check out the wall of the compound.
Xie Quan didn’t feel it at first, but when the wall appeared in front of him, he was still shocked.
