Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 59 Bandits?

It is normal for the people to fear officials.

Su Youli was taken away by the people from the yamen, and Li Shi felt a little relieved for a moment, panicking.

Pinellia was naturally impatient, but she couldn't add to the chaos while she was busy, so she had to quickly remove the firewood from the stove, letting the wood emit greenish-white smoke, and some flames flickered reluctantly.

She just wanted the third uncle to talk about what was going on, but she saw that the third uncle had already entered the main room.

This is probably Su Youzhang's first visit since Mr. Su came back. In the early years, because of Su Qian's scolding, many people thought it was their side that occupied the land. out.

It was a few years later, after learning about Su Qian's temper and knowing that their family is a kind family, it slowly faded away.

But it's light, it's not as close as before, after all, it's just face-saving.

This time, it can be seen that there is something important, so he came to report. Naturally, he wanted to see Mr. Su.

On the second day of the new year, everyone is at home.

Ban Xia comforted Mrs. Li, "Mother, don't worry, don't you know Dad's temperament, he has never done anything harmful to nature, and the Yamen is not an unreasonable place, maybe he will come back after asking a few words."

I have no idea what to say.

After all, Mrs. Li slowed down a bit, pulled Ban Xia and followed her to the main room.

Su Youzhang also couldn't make any sense, "Sanbo, I also heard it from the people in the next village when I went out. I didn't see it exactly, and I didn't know what it was. You said that the market is not open now, how could he?" Just go out, don't worry, I guess it's nothing serious."

Grandpa Su frowned tightly and said nothing.

On the other hand, Mrs. Su Qian shrugged, "I just said it's not necessary, and I made myself a villain out of thin air! It's really unlucky for the New Year's Eve! Who knows what happened outside, look at the little one when he came back, The house is peaceful, so I said I heard it at night..."

Li's lips trembled.

Su Youzhang was originally a news reporter, and he had a good relationship with the third child on weekdays. He really looked down on Su Qian's style of behavior, and he still had that kind of presence back then.

"Uncle, you don't do things like this. Is it time to say these things? The third child is honest, who knows what it is, uncle, you should also make a decision."

Su Qian's words faltered, he pursed his lips, and sighed, "It's really hard to be a stepmother in the world, even a junior dares to come up and slap her in the face."

Su Youde stood up, "No need to talk about this, second child, you go out with me to inquire about it, and you must find out what it is."

Su Youyi stood still, watching Su Qianshi without moving.

Pinellia's heart is a little more stable, the uncle is the most shrewd, if he goes to inquire about the news, there should be no problem.

"Yuanguang Niang, don't worry too much, it's nothing serious." Su Youde said again.

What else could Li Shi do, he could only keep nodding his head.

Su Qian looked at the second child, "Damn you, what are you doing looking at me like this?!"

Su Youyi has always been a man of few words. He is handsome and always looks like he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. At this time, he looked at Su Qian's indifferently, "News, Qian."

Still cherish words like gold.

Su Youzhang couldn't say anything after looking at him, so he just glanced at him more.

"Grandma, second uncle is saying that it will cost money to go outside to find out, otherwise who will tell you the news!"

There were outsiders, and it happened to be such an important event at home, Mr. Su also looked over, and Mrs. Su Qian reluctantly took out a small purse, "Fourth, you go with me too, one more person will get one more share." Li, when your third brother comes back, he will naturally remember you."

Su Youcai, who was at the side, was a little reluctant. After being pinched by Mrs. Zhou, he followed him silently.

Ban Xia knew that Su Qian's plan was to let the fourth child be his eyes, for fear of being cheated out of money.Can't help but sneer.

After writing the letter and reporting it, three more people went here. Su Youzhang didn't have anything to say and left the yard.

"Sanbo, do you know that my father was taken away by the yamen, is it really the yamen? How did he take him away? Did he go to the county yamen or where did he go? Where did the person he saw come from?" Ban Xia asked aside.

She tried to speculate about Su Youli's situation from these details.

However, he was going to be disappointed after all. Su Youzhang only knew the news from Majia Village, but he didn't know how many times it was spread.

Li's whole body is still numb.

As if the sky was about to fall down, I froze there.

Ban Xia was just about to help her into the room to rest, but she saw Mrs. Zhou came out quickly just now, and at this moment she was uncovering the deep-fried pot and scooping something into it.

Mrs. Sun also came to comfort Mrs. Li with Wu Mei and Mint.

Being stared at like this, Mrs. Zhou felt guilty, and her voice rose even higher, "Mother is really right, it's all caused by Yuan Chen, just take a look at this and that, I don't dare to eat this food ..."

A head protruded from the other room, and it was the eldest aunt Lin, "Yuan Wu Niang, are you talking like a human being! The last time it was how you knew the matter well, let me tell you that you are really capable. Turned upside down like this? You have to count people from our Su family before you are willing?!"

Because of Su Youde's craftsmanship and prestige, Lin himself is a man of five big and three rough, with a strong body, so he can say whatever he wants.

In her heart, the eldest and the third child are real brothers, they both have the surname Su, and she doesn't treat the third room very well on weekdays, and she even made calculations, but she can't see the fourth room being bullied by the third room, Only then have the words of the people of the Su family.

Also a culprit.

Mrs. Zhou smiled dryly, but didn't dare to reply, "Look at what my sister-in-law said, am I in a panic, thinking that if the third brother doesn't come back..."

"Shut up!" Ban Xia couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily reprimanded.

Zhou shivered, looking at Banxia's knife-like gaze, for some reason, he felt a chill behind his back, even when Lin was swearing harshly just now, he was not so afraid.

"Since when is the fourth aunt still restless? Now that we have an accident here, we don't have time to talk to you. I advise you to keep your tail between your legs. Otherwise, if something really happens, I won't make it easier for you, Sister Shuiping." Don't you want to say kiss? Wait for me!"

Mrs. Zhou muttered, and ran to Mrs. Lin's side, but she didn't know what to say.

Anyway, as long as she doesn't make trouble, Ban Xia doesn't have time to pay attention to her.

Seeing Mrs. Sun there persuading Mrs. Li, although Ban Xia was still concerned, she brought Yuan Chen and Gu Ya'er closer, "Yuan Chen, Gu Ya'er, are you afraid?"

Gu Ya'er nodded her head with tears in her eyes, Yuan Chen just shrank her body towards Ban Xia's shoulders.

"Don't be afraid, the uncles have all gone to inquire, and Daddy will be fine."

This is not only to comfort them, but also to comfort myself.

But what else could she do?

I don't know if it's because I heard about it, but no one came to visit relatives today, but there was an aunt who said a few words and went to the third grandfather's side.

In the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, shrouded in a chill.

It wasn't until it was dark that Su Youde and the three entered the courtyard with a chill in their bodies.

Mrs. Li also sat there for half a day, so she hurried out when she saw this.

Serve hot ginger soup directly on this end, and finish it again.

Su Youde looked at Li Shi's expression, a little complicated.

Ban Xia's heart skipped a beat again.

Is this no news or what?
Mr. Su was also in a hurry for a long time. Seeing them slowing down, he hurriedly asked, "It's so cold, what's wrong with the third one? But according to the previous agreement, it's not so easy to stay in the yamen. "

With a gruff voice, Su Youde opened his mouth with difficulty, "We were there for half a day, and... didn't see the third child, so I don't know if he was inside."

Even if there is really something wrong, you can still see people. Even if it is a crime of beheading, there will be a trial?
Ban Xia felt lucky, "Could it be that Dad is not locked in there, but..."

Su Youcai was very dissatisfied, "Who knows what it is, in such a cold weather, we begged the elder brother who was guarding the guards, drank the wind for a long time, but did not find out anything, let the elder brother and the second brother come back. If you don’t want to, just wait and grind like that, for most of the day, you haven’t even had a decent meal!”

That wouldn't have come back so dejected.

"Yuan Guang, you and your mother go back to rest first, and uncle will go to investigate tomorrow, huh?"

Su Youcai snorted, "You'll have to know about this sooner or later. Big brother, what are you doing without telling them? Third brother is very capable. Didn't you help that person last time? It's been found out. His background is not simple! "

Is it wrong to help people?

Grandpa Su reprimanded, "Fourth, please speak well, what to do if you are neither yin nor yang!"

Su Youcai was so aggrieved that he just continued, "Father, we have worn out our lips to let others leak a little bit. Didn't the third brother give all the money from selling tofu to others last time? I heard that He was very down and out at the time, and we understood the meaning behind what the elder brother said. If it weren't for the big things, we wouldn't even see people anywhere. When the elder brother came back, he deliberately went to the street to inquire. , the market was not open, so it took me a long time to find out that Brother San was too worthless. When he gave the money to that person, that person was covered in blood, saying he was some kind of bandit..."

Ban Xia's eyelids twitched. This means that Su Youli might be involved in a dispute without making a sound?

But she still thought positively, "If it's a big deal, Dad is just an ignorant person. He sells tofu on the street all day, everyone knows about it, and he didn't have any bad intentions."

Su Youcai sneered, "You girl, what do you know? Who didn't know that Wang Daya from the town next door? He was a blacksmith on weekdays, but he finally found out after being interrogated that he was a gangster. ruthless!"

"Fourth!" Su Youde couldn't listen anymore.

Su Qian was protective, "What the fourth brother said is not wrong, we naturally know that the third is not, but we can't stop what others think!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shi fell limply.

"mother--"
