The next day.
Su Li planned to go to town to buy some lard and sell her perfume.
Before leaving, Su Li instructed He Qingyao and He Qingmu, “Be good at home!”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu nodded obediently. “Mother, don’t worry. We’ll wait for you at home obediently.”
Yao Jun didn’t return to the Su Family Village last night. To him, it didn’t matter where he lived. He might as well choose a place he found interesting.
Seeing that he was unwilling to go back, Su Li arranged for him to make building blocks. It was impossible for him to eat and drink for free at her place. If he did not work, he would be kicked out.
Yao Jun was in awe of Su Li. Although he was a little unhappy, he still obediently did his work. However, he kept secretly dawdling in a place where Su Li could not see him.
Su Li did not expose him. Yao Jun was used to being lazy. It was impossible for him to become diligent now. He had to take it slow.
At this moment, when Yao Jun heard Su Li and He Qingyao talking, he pricked up his ears to listen. When he heard that Su Li was about to leave, he put down the things in his hand and walked towards her. “Boss, are you going out?”
Su Li glanced at him. “Why? What’s the matter?”
Yao Jun said, “Well, it’s too dangerous for you to go out alone. Why don’t you bring me along? I can protect you.”
Going out was much more interesting than staying at home. He was unwilling to face those boring logs at home all the time.
Su Li looked at him in disdain. “How can you protect me with your small body? Are you sure you’re not dragging me down?”
The corners of Yao Jun’s mouth twitched awkwardly. “I’ve been practicing martial arts really hard these few days. I feel that I’ve improved a lot. It’s definitely not a problem for me to fight three people alone.”
Su Li teased, “Are you fighting three squirrels?”
Yao Jun was speechless. Can she be more serious?
Su Li glanced at him and said, “Be good and work for me at home. If you can’t complete the mission I assigned you today, you can go back to your house tomorrow.”
Yao Jun looked aggrieved. “I worked so hard, but you’re so willing to chase me away!”
Su Li glared at him. “If you continue to be so indecent, I’ll kick you to death.”
Yao Jun chuckled: “I won’t dare to do it again.”
Su Li waved her hand impatiently. “Hurry up and get to work.”
Yao Jun turned back three times with every step, looking aggrieved. He tried to make Su Li change her mind.
Su Li couldn’t be bothered to look at him. She said a few more words to He Qingyao and He Qingmu before walking towards the village entrance.
He Yufeng walked out of the house. He felt that the current Su Li was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. He was even a little afraid that she would suddenly leave them.
Su Li bumped into Chen Xiang as soon as she left the courtyard.
When Chen Xiang saw Su Li, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face and she did not know how to face her.
Su Li’s expression was as usual, as if Chen Xiang was air.
Chen Xiang looked at Su Li’s basket and asked, “Sister, are you going to the market?”
Su Li glanced at her and said, “Are we very close? So close that we need to greet each other when we meet? I think with our current relationship, it’s best not to meet, lest it affects everyone’s mood.”
Chen Xiang choked. She had always known that Su Li’s words were sharp, but she did not think that there was anything wrong with it as she was not targeting her previously. Now that she was targeting her, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Su Li did not even look at her as she left.
She did not want to bother with He Dahai and Chen Xiang anymore. Why should she continue to feed an ingrate? Instead, they backstabbed her.
When Old Zhao saw Su Li, his dispirited expression immediately became excited.
“Su Li-” Old Zhao waved at Su Li.
Su Li walked over and placed the basket on the car. “How long more do you need to set off?”
Old Zhao chuckled and said, “Let’s wait for a while. If there’s no one, we’ll set off.’
After all, an extra person meant more money. He wouldn’t be able to make two trips a day, so every time he gathered a few people, he would set off.
“Alright!” Su Li said.
In any case, taking a car was faster than walking. There was no harm in waiting a little longer.
Old Zhao leaned in front of Su Li and asked, “Do you know that an official came yesterday?”
“I know,” Su Li said.
Old man Zhao said again, “It’s all my fault for being unlucky. I missed out on a hundred taels of silver.’
He only found out about yesterday’s incident this morning. If he had not gone out, the hundred taels might have been his!
Su Li smiled and didn’t say anything. Even if he had a hundred taels at home, it had nothing to do with her.
Old Zhao rambled on in her ear again. Su Li couldn’t help but dig her ears. Her eardrums were about to be destroyed by Old Zhao.
Fortunately, a few people came very quickly. Old Zhao drove the ox cart and set off. In case Old Zhao continued to chat with her, Su Li closed her eyes to rest.
The ox cart swayed, and Su Li really fell asleep.
The ox cart stopped again. Su Li thought that they had arrived in town and opened her eyes.
They had yet to reach town, and this place was even a little unfamiliar.
“Where are we? Why aren’t we leaving?” Su Li asked.
Could it be that Old Zhao had some bad intentions?
Su Li counted the people in the car without a trace. No more, no less.
Old Zhao explained, “The path we often take is blocked by the fallen tree, so we changed to a small path.”
This path was not easy to walk on. Usually, he was unwilling to take this path when driving the ox cart. However, he had no choice but to take this path today.
Su Li continued to question, “Then why aren’t you leaving?”
Old Zhao pointed at the paper money on the ground and said, “Do you see this paper money?”
“Is there a problem?” Su Li asked.
Old Zhao explained, “You don’t understand. This paper money was just scattered. It’s paper money to clear the way. Someone died nearby. They’re preparing to be buried. They scattered paper money in advance to make everyone avoid them.”
“Our current location is slightly wider, so stopping here to avoid it is the best choice.”
Su Li was speechless. This was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
However, since this was someone else’s custom, she still chose to respect it.
After a while, the mourners came.
At the front was the filial son. Those people kept crying and muttering.
The person in the car said unhappily, “How unlucky. We walked into this early in the morning.”
However, Su Li chanted in her heart, “Coffin, coffin, may I rise in rank and get rich.”
When the mourners brushed past them, Su Li felt a cold gaze looking at her.
Su Li followed that gaze and realized that everything was normal, as if she had imagined it just now..
