The Yamen officer read out the official document and left without worrying about the Su family escaping.
In North Vietnam, ordinary people need a road guide wherever they go. Those without a road guide will be treated as refugees, and the end will be no better than being exiled.
Su Da closed the courtyard door like a puppet, blocking out the outside world.
Looking back, everyone in the Su family standing in the courtyard looked pale and their eyes were blank and empty.
The sudden bad news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the Su family to the point of being unable to recover. The family's joy in recent days also disappeared at this moment, leaving only suffocating depression.
After a long time, the woman's sad cry could be heard.
The entire Dahuai Village was also not peaceful and noisy.
The Su family was implicated by relatives of high-ranking officials, and the news that the whole family was going to be exiled spread throughout the village in an instant, and spread at an extremely fast speed.
For a time, all the villagers who came after hearing the news gathered outside the door of the Su Family Courtyard, talking loudly about this. Some were lamenting, some were sympathetic, and some were gloating about the misfortune and adding insult to injury.
"Ouch! Usually if someone is caught committing petty theft and taken to the Yamen, that would be a big deal! Now the whole Su family is in exile! They have to go to a bitter and cold place thousands of miles away to stay for the rest of their lives! That kind of place Where is the place for people to stay!"
"Isn't that true? I heard that many of the exiled people couldn't even walk anywhere, and people disappeared halfway! The Su family is a big family with their whole family, not to mention the old man is lame, and there are four more beans below. Ding-sized little baby, alas! How difficult it is! Even if the whole family can go to the place of exile in one piece, it will be a crime from now on."
"It is said that it is good to be an official. Being an official from a poor family is like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. The family status is rising, but ordinary people cannot see the danger behind the glory... Let's go back to Old Man Su's house. What happened this time was an unreasonable disaster. .”
The gossipy woman next door to the Su family stood outside and deliberately sneered loudly into the yard, "What did I say in the first place? Their newborn baby is a disaster! Hey, the old shrew of the Su family still insists on following me. Climbing and biting! Has it come true now? Tell me, everyone, there was an avalanche when I was just born, and the entire Dahuai Village was almost buried with it. Just after the full moon, misfortunes happened to the family, and the whole family was exiled! Isn’t this a disaster? How can your Su family do it? Continue to treat her as a treasure! Let’s see if you, the big family, can go to Yongzhou with good arms and legs—!”
The closed door of the Su family's courtyard suddenly opened, and a basin of sewage was poured directly on the face of the broken-mouthed woman.
Amidst the screams of the broken-mouthed woman, the people around who were talking a moment ago all stopped talking and looked towards the door.
Old woman Su was carrying a wooden basin in her hand, her face was cold and stern, her eyes were red, and her eyes were as fierce as if she wanted to eat someone.
She looked coldly at the woman who was jumping up and down, and slammed the wooden basin in her hand on the ground. The loud bang seemed to hit people's hearts, making their hearts beat. "I told you, right? Let me hear you scold me again." My sweet baby, I’m going to tear you off! My whole Su family is in exile anyway, and I picked it up if I’m alive! I’m going to die together with you, and I’m going to have an extra support, it’s not a loss! You have the guts to do it in front of me In front of you, say what you just said again!"
Those who are cruel are afraid of being cruel, and those who are cruel are afraid of losing their lives.
The gossipy woman was afraid of death no matter how brazen she was. Seeing that Old Madam Su was about to show her true nature, she was so frightened that she quickly hid behind the crowd, unable to save her face. She kept shouting to save her respect, "Old shrew! You, you, don't do it." You think I'm afraid of you! For the sake of our neighbors, I won't argue with you today!"
Old woman Su sneered, spat disdainfully on the ground, turned around and walked into the house, slamming the courtyard door shut again.
After this incident, no one else dared to continue to talk outside and rub salt into people's wounds.
Otherwise, if you accidentally say something wrong and make someone angry, you will rush forward and fight with all your strength. If the time comes, your life will be in vain.
At this time, all the Su family members had sat back in the main room.
The fire in the brazier has been extinguished, and the cold air is sucked into the nose. It is so cold that the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are hurting, but no one has the intention to light the fire again. They sit there numbly, as if they have lost their souls.
Because of the arrival of Tianbao, the family's situation has begun to improve a little, and hope has just been reborn. The family is full of longing, waiting for the coming spring, and everyone will work together to live a prosperous life.
Don't seek great wealth, but seek peace and stability.
Now that spring has not yet arrived, they first waited for a piece of exile document, approving their fate for the rest of their lives.
Exile!
They have been charged with crimes, and from now on, they will be the ones to blame! You can only stay in the place of exile until you die of old age, and you won’t be able to return to your roots after you die!
Their children and their descendants can only stick to that place and be rootless duckweeds!
All their hopes and hopes were gone, leaving only gloom and despair in their future.
Mrs. Su walked into the main room, her eyes were red and bleeding, and she could not hold back her resentment even though she gritted her teeth.
She slapped the old man's back hard, tears streaking down her face. She swallowed her bitter tears and growled, "What kind of relative are you? Huh? What kind of relative are they? When you are so prosperous, we won't be able to take any advantage! If something goes wrong, You want me to take the blame! Isn’t the Su family, a high-ranking family, noble? Don’t they look down on poor relatives like us at all? Why don’t you sever ties with us? Leeches only suck blood, but their family sucks human life! They are I want the old lady’s life, oh oh oh oh! How are our Su family going to survive!"
Old man Su looked gloomy and said nothing, allowing the old woman to beat him.
Now that things have come to this, they can only accept their fate.
Su An and the other three little kids were so frightened by this scene that their faces turned pale, and they huddled in their parents' arms and trembled in fear.
"Dad, Mom, what is exile? Will we die?" The little Su An was close to her father's arms, her little hands tightly grasping the hem of her father's clothes in fear.
Su Wen and Su Wu were younger, grinning in fear and crying.
Su Da hugged his son, his eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, and his voice was blocked and he couldn't make a sound.
Su Er's family of four were also hugging each other, confused.
In the end, Mrs. Su was the first to calm down, wiped away her tears, hugged her little granddaughter, who was always quiet, and took a deep breath. Live well! Boss, second brother, go to the town government office to get your exile! Yuelan, Daxiang, pack your important things, we have to leave today, otherwise we will be punished by the higher authorities!"
After a pause, her expression became stern again, and she looked around, "Just listen to the nonsense that is said outside, Tianbao's surname is Su, and she is from my Su family! Who dares to believe those nonsense, don't blame me for settling the score!"
"Mom, you don't need to go out of your way to kill Mighty Stick, we know it!"
"Hmph, the old woman doesn't believe in evil! What a bullshit disaster star. If our sweet baby is the disaster star, the old woman can bear all the disasters by herself!"
One sentence shocked people's hearts.
The young and old of the Su family immediately responded sonorously, "Let's carry it together!"
Liu Yuelan's eyes were filled with tears, and she stared blankly at her mother-in-law, the pain in her heart gradually being replaced by gratitude.
As long as the mother-in-law is there, the family has the backbone. No matter where or what the situation is, the family will never be separated!
At this moment, she suddenly felt that being exiled was not an insurmountable difficulty!
