Chapter 37
Song Liyun and his party passed through the town directly and were taken to the barracks.

There is a row of simple wooden sheds here, where migrant workers live separately by men and women.

The construction of the barracks was urgent, so they only had a brief rest, and the migrant workers started to work the next day.

What Song Zhenping and his men had to do was to carry the gravel from the Huangsha River and send it to the river pass ten miles outside the town.

Song Liyun cooks with a few women, preparing three meals a day for the folk husbands.

Xiao An was a child who couldn't work, and the military camp didn't register him as a migrant worker, so he became a non-staff member.

During the day, he followed Song Liyun and helped cook in the kitchen.

In the evening, they went to Song Zhen's bunk, and the two brothers squeezed into the bed to sleep.

Although Xiaoan is small and looks like a five or six-year-old child, he is serious and obedient.

The cooks in the kitchen were basically kind to him, and nothing happened after a few days.

He can eat and drink enough every day, and no one beats or scolds him yet, but Xiao An still doesn't talk much, and just sits in the corner with dull eyes from time to time, lost in thought.

Only every time he sees his elder brother Song Zhenping, or Song Liyun talks to him, does Xiao An's eyes shine.

Song Liyun didn't force him to change right away. From the day Xiao An was born, all she could feel was hunger, cold, beatings and scolding.

Hiding his mind is the only way he can protect himself.

Now the kindness of the strangers around is superficial after all, and it is the result of Xiao An's hard work, which is not enough to change a child's habits, it will take time.

It has been four days since they arrived in Suijin Town, and the three brothers and sisters of the Song family have settled down temporarily, but the second son of Song in Xiaoshi Village seems to be in dire straits.

It is said that on the day of the accident, the villagers who went to serve corvee had just walked outside the county seat, and they were all stopped, and they returned to Xiaoshi Village overnight under the escort of the county government.

These country men were escorted without knowing anything. They were suddenly shocked and frightened, and they had to walk hundreds of miles back and forth, which no one could bear.

In the end, I spent money to hire an ox cart to get home at dawn.

When they knew that Song Laoer said that Song Liyun had escaped from marriage and that his home had been stolen, and they and others were all suspects, they were all so angry: what did Yun girl's escape from marriage have to do with them.

But it's useless to cry for injustice, so I can only hold my nose and cooperate with the government's investigation.

After tossing until the afternoon, the county government's arrester asked everyone and came to a conclusion.

This case is Song Zhenping's escape from marriage with his younger sister Song Liyun, and the evidence is conclusive.

But the three brothers and sisters disappeared halfway, and now they have to wait for Song Zhenping to be captured before dealing with them.

The theft of Song Defu's property is too bizarre, so it can only be registered temporarily.

That's how the Song family's affairs were. As soon as the official sent him away, the men in the village surrounded Song's second son.

These men didn't fight those women with Mrs. Gu, and they didn't care that they were too tired after two days and two nights of tossing around, so grabbing Song's second child was just a big punch.

Song Lao Er was also very unlucky, he was whipped by Master Xue, and now he was beaten again, so he had no strength to resist.

When Song Lizheng rushed over, he was already lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face, humming.

Mrs. Gu is getting old, and after a few days of tossing, she has lost her former prestige.

Little Gu is still sleeping on the kang for confinement.

Fortunately, Song Shuirong was lying in the quilt that night, and Song Liyun didn't take it away, and now Xiao Gu only has quilts to use.

Hearing the noise outside, she had no choice but to howl hoarsely.

"Forget it, everyone, stop beating. Li Yun and the others haven't come back yet, and the villagers didn't do this. Don't think about it. Anyway, you have already got a criminal record. As long as the thieves show up, they will definitely be caught."

Song Lizheng had a sad face, and he was not in the mood to explain and comfort Song Lao Er.

He learned from the people who returned to the village that his son Song Dekui and Song Zhenping were taken away by officers and soldiers, saying they were repairing the border wall.

Those officers and soldiers ran away after robbing someone, and now they don't even have any clues to find someone.

Qingping town is more than 200 miles away from the border, even if the border wall is repaired, it would not be so far away to recruit people. He worried that he would be forcibly recruited.

Just now, someone had sent a letter to the town office, asking the eldest son Song Dequan to find out about Dekui as soon as possible.

If you are captured, you have to get it back even if you spend money, that would be fatal.

As for Song Liyun's three brothers and sisters, he couldn't take care of them anymore.

Just thinking about it, Song Lizheng hated Song Laoer so much.

If he hadn't treated his nephew harshly and forced Yun girl to escape from marriage, why would he send San'er, who was doing a good job in the town, to serve in corvee.

As a result, there is no news now, and I dare not let my daughter-in-law know.

Song Lao Er was also convinced now, and he didn't dare to be arrogant after being beaten, he stood up lazily and begged: "Uncle Li Zheng, I already knew I was wrong, since I have to wait for the government to investigate the case, I will wait.

But now I don’t have anything at home, can I ask the village to subsidize some money so that I can buy things and send my children to school..."

Song Lizheng knew that Song's second son's house was empty now, and little Gu's family was confinement, and it was getting colder every day, so he really needed to buy bedding, clothes and food immediately.

In the past, all it took was for Mrs. Gu to make a fuss, and she might get some help from the village.

But now things are not what they used to be, and Song Lizheng is no longer spoiled by him: "If your family wants to live, you need to buy more things.

Now that the case has been reported, the village can also testify to make up for the lost house deed and land deed.

Don't think I don't know, you have five taels of silver in your hand, even if you don't do anything, it will be enough for a year.

If you still think it is not enough, then sell the land! "

Song Laoer heard Song Lizheng's words just now, and thought that the village would give him money.

When he heard that he wanted to sell his daughter's money and also sell the land, he immediately shouted: "No, you can't sell the land."

His family has fifteen acres of land, including part of his big house, and he is considered a big family in the village.

Song Laoer is not a fool, he naturally understands the truth that wells cannot be filled and money trees cannot be cut down.

It just lasted for a year or so, and when the fields harvested a few stubbles of grain, they would naturally be able to supplement the family property slowly.

If he sells the land, his family will really be over.

Seeing that Song Laoer didn't know what to do and was still trying to plot others, Song Lizheng snorted coldly: "Then it's up to you. Anyway, the town hall said that your house was stolen. Once the government has news, they will send you to interrogate them." If you don’t, you can’t go anywhere, just wait at home anytime.”

Song Laoer saw that Song Lizheng was no longer weak, so he could only bow his head and agree, hiding the vicious hatred in his eyes.

This old thing can borrow some money to himself, but he deliberately wants to sell the land himself. This is to destroy his own home.

Also, when did the cheap hooves hook up with the old thing and sneak away to serve corvee, which harmed Shui Rong for the rest of his life.

Mr. Song dug his fingernails into the flesh, as long as that bastard came back, he would never soften his heart.

Unable to get any money from Lizheng, the second son of Song had to take out his own money to buy urgently needed winter clothes, food and bedding for the whole family, and then went to the old man's house to cry and blame Song Liyun and his wife for the miscarriage caused by the beating. Master Xue.

The incident happened suddenly, and the two Gu family's natal families only knew the news, and Kenyi first grabbed and beat Song Lao Er, and then forced him to go to Master Xue to bring Shui Rong back.

Xiao Gu's natal family also went to Xiaoshi Village to ask Song Lizheng to hand over the three children of the Song family's big house, so naturally there was another commotion.

It's just that no matter how violent they were, it had nothing to do with the Song Liyun brothers and sisters.
