Only after Gongsun Yan left did Song Yuehua stand up and stretch her body.
Looking through the window at the messy and deserted streets, I was thinking about Dongdong's words that the world is in chaos.
Song Yuehua thought, I should stock up some food when I return.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
The current food prices have not yet fully recovered to the pre-drought levels, and it is unknown when the market will go haywire.
It's really like when it rains, it leaks.
What happened in Lianzhou this time is quite strange.
Let’s not even talk about how the entire provincial capital’s garrison could be held hostage by bandits.
Moreover, the city wall here is not the same as the one in their village. I don’t know how Xie Feng and his team managed to break in.
It always feels like everything is just like playing house.
If it wasn't premeditated, then it was designed by someone.
Song Yuehua thought a lot and finally came to the conclusion that no matter what, she just had to take care of her own family.
The next morning, several people rode back on horses.
Song Yuehua was a little excited after escaping death this time.
I have been away from home for more than a month. I don’t know whether the cotton has been picked, whether Dabao has eaten on time, or how the business of the chess hall is going.
After riding for three consecutive days, they finally arrived at the county town on the fourth day.
Tianyuan Chess Hall was full of people at this time, and Xiaofu and Xiaoyu were extremely excited to see her.
"Sister Song, you're back!" Xiaofu's eyes sparkled.
Song Yuehua smiled and greeted the two of them, "During the time I was away, was everything okay in the chess hall?"
"All good."
Zhao Xiaofu was about to flip through the account book, but Song Yuehua held her hand and said, "No hurry."
Xiang Xiaoyu poured her a bowl of mung bean soup.
"Has it been changed to mung bean syrup now?"
Song Yuehua drank a bowl, it was cool and not bad.
So he asked Xiaoyu to pour a bowl for Gongsun Yan, Ermaizi and Laoqi who were outside.
After drinking the sugar water, Gongsun Yan came over to say goodbye to her, "I've sent you off, it's time for me to go too."
Song Yuehua nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
"I'll find out about Xie Feng's situation when I get back, and I'll send you a letter then."
Halfway through her speech, Gongsun Yan continued, "I remember you can read, right?"
Song Yuehua patted her shoulder and said seriously, "Don't look for me if you have nothing to do in the future."
Gongsun Yan: "..."
After everyone left, Song Yuehua went to You Mansion again.
Zhou Xiaohu and Xu Ji were just preparing dinner. Seeing her coming back, they happily asked, "You're finally back. Have you eaten yet?"
Xu Ji asked, "Sister Song, are you hungry? There are two vegetable dumplings in the basket. I'll give them to you to fill your stomach first."
"Okay, bring it here." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
Zhou Xiaohu scooped out a bowl of stewed meat soup and said, "You've been gone for more than a month. If it's a little later, the cotton should be harvested."
"Is the cotton not harvested yet?" Song Yuehua asked.
Zhou Xiaohu shook his head. "It seems not. Zhang Rushan just came back from the village. Why don't we ask him?"
"Where did Zhang Rushan go?" Song Yuehua asked after looking around.
Zhou Xiaohu said, "He went to Cheng's house. Cheng Fei has been causing trouble again recently."
"It's about women?"
"That's right."
Song Yuehua, "..."
The reason I heard about Cheng Fei before was because of Crazy Horse.
According to Zhou Xiaohu, after the last murder, Nan the Butcher took his wife and children away, and the yard was left for the widow Shao to live in.
Somehow, Cheng Fei got back together with Widow Shao.
Logically speaking, the two of them, a widow and a playboy, were a match made in heaven, and Cheng Fei also wanted to keep Widow Shao as his mistress.
However, Widow Shao was unwilling.
Song Yuehua coughed lightly and asked, "Are you trying to refuse but still welcome?"
Zhou Xiaohu stared at her for a long time before pinching his fingers and said, "It shouldn't be. I heard from Zhang Rushan that Widow Shao really dislikes Cheng Fei."
"What's the situation now?"
I don’t know if Cheng Fei was being stubborn. He was willing to take Widow Shao as his concubine, but she was not happy about it.
Just because of this matter, Mr. Cheng was almost angry and had a stroke.
Mr. Cheng invited Zhang Rushan over because he wanted him to solve this problem.
Song Yuehua was speechless. Whenever she heard Cheng Fei's name, it must be related to women.
It is not known whether it is a good thing for Zhang Rushan to gain the favor of the Cheng family.
He has to deal with so many trivial matters all day long. I'm really afraid that one day he will not be able to bear it and his faith will be broken.
It was still early, so Song Yuehua finished her soup and ate some vegetable dumplings and prepared to go back.
"Aren't you going to wait for Zhang Rushan to come back?" Zhou Xiaohu asked.
Song Yuehua shook her head, looked around the kitchen and said, "Is there any extra meat? I'll take two pieces back first and return them to you next time I come."
Zhou Xiaohu wrapped up the two pieces of meat hanging from the well and gave them to her.
Song Yuehua carried the meat to the entrance of the county town and found Ma Ye who was about to drive the ox cart back.
"Girl, you're lucky to arrive in time. If you were a step later, I would have been out of the city." Master Ma said with a smile.
Song Yuehua also responded with a smile. Feng Cuihua was also sitting in the carriage.
When she saw Song Yuehua, she greeted her in a low voice.
"How's business going lately?" Song Yuehua asked.
Xiao Cui whispered, "Qingqing is quite busy. My hands are not as dexterous as hers, so there are not many things I can knit. When I have time, I will go to Ji's house to make shoe soles with Grandma Wang and Grandma Mu."
“That’s good too.”
Xiao Cui added, "The boss came back at the right time. Zhang Dandan said that the cotton will be picked in a few days."
Zhang Dandan works in the county town every day, and he knows everything that happens in the village.
